I had a superhero idea a few years ago, whilst watching Season 2 of "Who Wants to be a Superhero?"

This superhero, called Loremaster (or The Loremaster, if you prefer) is essentially a superpowered extrapolation of the "walking encyclopedia" type. He effortlessly--indeed, automatically--memorizes any fact he is exposed to. He can also perform any task for which he has read or observed the procedure, provided that (a) it doesn't require a lot of "hands on" experience to perform competently (e.g. glass blowing), and (b) doesn't require an unusual level of physical prowess.

In combat, Loremaster's main attack is a sort of mental blast that can temporarily incapacitate an opponent by overloading his/her/its brain with a flood of trivia.

His immense store of knowledge allows him to use a variety of armed and unarmed fighting techniques, including all common weapon types. His competence level with these techniques is decent but not exceptional, so he will normally resort to them only when facing opponents who are resistant to his mental blast.

Because the concept of Loremaster was little more than an idle thought, I never got as far as costume specs.
