Unlock dozens of mutant superpowers with this Fallout 4 mod
http://www.pcgamer.com/unlock-dozens-of-mutant-superpowers-with-this-fallout-4-mod/
The mod is called, aptly enough, Mutant Powers, and it lets you burst into flames like the Human Torch, run at super speed like The Flash, teleport like Nightcrawler, suck the life out of enemies like Captain Vampire (who I may have just made up), and imbues you with all sorts of other cool abilities, like electrical attacks, energy shields, clairvoyance, ice powers, super jumping, and more. You can even transform yourself into a terrifying shadow monster like everyone's favorite superhero, Captain Terrifying Shadow Monster (also made up, though I'd watch the Netflix show if there was one).

http://www.pcgamer.com/part-2-of-new-vegas-mod-fallout-project-brazil-teased-in-lengthy-videos/
The team behind Fallout: New Vegas mod Project Brazil—a massive fan add-on that adds a new vault, map, quests, and thousands of lines of dialogue from around twenty voice actors—released the first of its three parts back in 2013, and it sounds like we won't have too much longer to wait for Part 2. An update to the game's Moddb page reveals where the project is at now, while a (spoiler-filled) five-part video series shows off some alpha footage of that upcoming second chapter, along with the improved assets that will be making their way to Part 1.
