The saga of ‘Life Series’ articles is almost coming to a close, but it’s never too late to discuss the latest season!

‘Wild Life’ is of course by far the most wild season, where every session is a different wild event! In session 7 every member was selected a random superpower! I loved this session so much that I want to explain to you every power, who got it, and how I think it connects to the person!

Grian – Copycat/Mimic

Grian had the ability to copy any other player’s superpower for 5 minutes, all he had to do was simply find and right click on a player to copy it.

Grian gave himself this power because he’s the creator of all of the “wild cards” (events), which meant he also came up with the powers!

I can go into lore to explain why this can possibly draw back to it, but I don’t want to waste your time with lore.

Cleo – Necromancy

Cleo had the ability to summon zombies back from the dead— no, like literally. She brought back all of the dead players.

Previously dead players Mumbo and Skizz came back from the grave for this session, but not as the same Mumbo and Skizz you may remember. They came back from the dead to serve the person they get summoned by, and no more than that. They each only have four hearts and listened to Cleo’s every command, no matter how hard or weird it may be.

When Mumbo and Skizz die, Cleo can simply summon them back, but they’re on a cooldown of 5 minutes.

Cleo has this power because her full gamer tag/YouTuber username is “ZombieCleo” and her Minecraft skin is literally a zombie! How could she not have this power?

Etho – Windburst

Etho had the ability to use a windburst and go up dramatically higher than the normal player and take absolutely no damage!

Although he had a mace and fishing rod which made his power extremely dangerous to be around, I don’t believe he ever landed a hit or killed anyone with it besides Gem (and Skizz, the zombie that’ll come back anyway)!

This power has absolutely no connection to Etho, but it was fun nonetheless!

Bdubs – Time

Bdubs had the ability to slow down time for about 10-15 seconds and sleep at night to make it daytime.

By “slowing down time”, I mean when he used his power, absolutely everything in the whole server would get slowed to this snail paced speed. It confused many when he used it the first time, because it affects everybody and they didn’t know who did it.

In a regular ‘Life Series’ season, all members of the server would need to sleep if they wanted to skip the night, which is impossible in a server of 18 people worried about dying and killing other members.

Bdubs hates the night time, he finds nothing good about it besides that it’s pretty! Back on the ‘Hermitcraft’ server, Bdubs can be called the “Sun God” or “Sleeping Master” because every single time it gets even close to night time, Bdubs is always there to sleep the night away using a mod. Now, in this one session of ‘Wild Life’ he can finally sleep the night away too!

Bdubs has time based powers because of his odd obsession with the Minecraft clock! He uses the clock to tell the time if it’s late and should go to sleep, and if he has one (which he usually does), it’s in his off-hand! Like a lucky charm!

Lizzie – Darkness

Lizzie had the ability to blind people and disappear for about 5 seconds.

This power was very dangerous, but Lizzie is a pretty non-pvp person so there wasn’t much to worry about!

Lizzie got this power because her full gamer tag/YouTuber username is “LDShadowLady”, it’s perfect really!

Joel – Triple Jump

Joel had the ability to triple jump. This was about it.

It doesn’t seem that good in text, but he had a lot of fun with it and it saved his life multiple times!

This power has no connection to Joel, but he enjoyed it and that’s all that matters!

BigB – Creaking

BigB had the ability to summon a small group of the Creaking mob.

He didn’t use this ability much because it wasn’t that helpful, but it was cool to look at!

BigB got this power because his whole shtick for this season was that he lived in the Pale Forest (the Creaking biome) and even had a Creaking skin! Like I said, it wasn’t useful, but man was it cool to see!

Tango – Speed

Tango had the ability to run at an insane speed.

He ran at an impossible speed to hit or kill, but it came at a price of ultimate starvation. His power was something he could toggle on and off, but insisted on leaving it on because what was the point of turning it off?

The entire server hated him in this session because he was basically unkillable and was rubbing it in everyone’s faces, of course in the end though, he did manage to die.

Tango connects to this power because Tango would like to flee more than pvp anyone! He isn’t very good at pvp and would like to avoid it at all costs, being more brains than brawn.

One of his most known catchphrases is to “flee with extra flee”!

Pearl – Flight

Pearl had the ability to jump up extremely high and fly as if she had an elytra on!

At first she thought it was just the big jump, but Grian eventually showed her that she can actually fly around. This power even came with a cool hat!

The only way I could connect this back to Pearl was that fans often thought of her as a moth because of her full name “Pearlecentmoon”!

Martyn – Super Hearing

Martyn had the ability to hear anything he could see!

If he were to hover his crosshair over a group of people from over a mile away, he could hear their entire conversation!

This connects to Martyn through lore! Just a snippet of what there is, Martyn is called a “listener” in the story that he has made for the series, which is perfect for his power!

Scott – Mob Morph

Scott had the ability to transform into (almost) any mob!

As long as he could click on it, he could transform into it!

This power doesn’t exactly connect to Scott in any way, it was actually given to him because it’s a passive power and he was on his green life which meant he couldn’t kill anyone, thus getting a boring power.

Ren – Player Morph

Ren had the ability to transform into any player on the server!

As long as he could click on the player, he could transform into them, skin and name tag!

You could say this power connects to Ren because he’s a theater kid and loves to role-play and act! Ren loves storytelling and playing as characters; this power couldn’t have been more perfect.

Jimmy – Invisibility

Jimmy had the ability to go invisible!

All he had to do was press a button and he could go invisible for an infinite amount of time!

This one I don’t believe can connect to him in any way, but he had a blast using it!

Gem – Astral Projection

Gem had the ability to go into spectator mode and talk to ghosts!

When Cleo’s zombies, Mumbo and Skizz, aren’t walking around in the overworld, they’re flying around as ghosts where Gem can then have a conversation with them.

I personally can’t connect this to her in any way, but I’m sure someone can, considering the lore behind her character!

Impulse – Teleportation

Impulse had the ability to teleport and swap places with another player using that same teleportation!

Anywhere he could see, he could teleport to, but to swap teleport with somebody, he had to be very precise about where his crosshair was because if they’re not right on the crosshair, he could miss which could be a vital mistake.

Impulse has nothing to do with teleportation, but he did manage to kill tango!

Scar – ???

Scar had the ability to sit on anything— including on other players’ shoulders, and hit players with a knock back of like 10 blocks!

This power couldn’t really be given a name because obviously they’re two very drastically different things, it was more so given to him so he could enjoy himself!

This once again can’t be connected back to Scar, but he had loads of fun with it.

I do believe these are all of the powers, and how they may connect to their corresponding person! The ‘Wild Life’ season is over, and so is my collection of ‘Life Series’ articles.

I bid you all adieu!
