The RPG Vault has posted a developer diary written by Irrational Games' Dorian Hart regarding the powers in their upcoming RPG, Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich. Here's a taste:

Next up: necromancy. Two of the new characters have powers that will bring KO-ed characters back to animated, fightin' shape for a while. Deep down Minuteman has always wanted to command the Forces of Darkness, so I know he'll acquit himself well. This time I spawn eight corrupt cops, and drop four of them KO-ed on the spot. Minuteman moves in and invokes Tombstone's power of Revitalizing Possession (Ye Gods, I need a better name for that one.) The four downed cops leap to their feet, and because they obey the will of their new master, they start firing on the other four cops. Minuteman steps back and pretends not to enjoy the carnage, until the effect wears off and the surviving zombies fall again to the ground.
