All,
I'm a played in a Hero 5th game where I know more about the rules than
everyone else, but I'm no guru. One of the players has experience
points to spend and he wants to give his electricity character the
ability to turn TVs, Lights, Stereos, and stuff on and off at will.
I'm not sure whether to buy this as change environment (but when he
stops concentrating they come back on), Suppress (same issue?), Dispel
(not sure electricty in a wall or device is really a power), or just
Telekinesis that only works on electrical devices (but he isnt really
turning the switch so it doesnt make sense).
Any ideas on how I'd do this?

How powerful is it? If he can only affect "mundane" electrical items
(stereos, lights, and other items not typically purchased with points),
then Change Enviroment seems appropriate, probably purchased at the base
level.
More powerful versions (that can turn off security cameras or guard
robots) would be built with Suppress. Activating powerful devices would
require an ability to give the device END (Healing, Aid, END Usable by
Other, etc).

That sounds best, give it Area Effect so you roll the dice against each
appliance/system individually. GM might allow Cosmetic instead of Minor in
some cases (maybe multipower it...Cosmetic for little things like lights and
blenders and stereos, Minor for turning security on and off).

Stupid Hero System Tricks pretty quickly as people argue about how to design

And of course, now that you've said that, my brain immediately

I doubt any of these items have more than 1 or 2 Body to work against for this
effect. So buying more than the minimumdice necessary would be a waste. If
you need to bump up the points for an EC or Multipower, just add Advantages to
it.

No, both the lights and the stereos are built using Images.

Well, the blender is clearly 1/2d6 HKA, Strength does not add, OAF,
Independent, can only attack hands/feet/similair size objects (-1),
requires electrical outet within 1 hex (-1).

Or a rules lawyer. But that's close enough to Goodwin this thread.
