Eigen Writing Game

Perhaps you are remembering the old Eigen Contest that I held on MSPA. This is basically the same thing, although losing the tournament format.
Here is a quick summary if you have not seen this thing yet. An Eigen Plot is a kind of story where each hero will have a chance to shine and show off their skills and powers. Each obstacle will be tailored to fit a specific character. Naturally, these can be pretty contrived.
In this game, you have to come up with a short story featuring the three heroes located in the bottom of the previous poster's entry. Once you are done, make up three new heroes.
Example:
Laser vision, String shot, Mind reader.
"Three burglars must infiltrate a museum, and steal the Empress's Silk Nightgown. First, Mind Reader reads the mind of the security guards, and finds out his biggest fear. Turns out it is broccoli, so they wave a few of these green things towards his general direction. The mere glimpse of this vile vegetable renders the guard unconscious.
Laser Vision turns all the security lasers visible just by looking at them. He is that good. Although maybe it is just magic. Anyways, they can now safely evade the dangerous beams.
String Shot made a perfect replica of the Nightgown. They switch the fake one and the real one, and escape with the loot!"
Are you up to a challenge? Can you use the trio of... umm...
