Usually wears jeans and a loose sweater that has seen better days.Personality: Rex is charming and friendly when dealing with normal people, but becomes deeply suspicious when dealing with supers. At best he thinks of them as well meaning lunatics, and he treats most as liars, fools, or tools of the Conspiracy. Rex has seen more than one Super leap to his death to prove he could fly, or get shot to pieces while boasting of his invulnerability; he knows that many of these masked madmen really do believe that they have powers. It must be some form of brainwashing …

 

Rex has no idea that he is (arguably) one of Earth’s most powerful Supers, and would mock the suggestion.

Quote:“Yes, of course you’re a God. Now please, get away from the ledge, and let’s take a nice, safe elevator ride, and you can tell me all about it.â€

 

“He would have gotten away with it if it hadn’t been for us nosy kids.â€

Background: Rex Danger: Ace freelance reporter, best selling author, journalist, conspiracy theorist, and quite possibly the world’s most powerful Super.

 

It all started in 1969 with a gang of college kids wandering the country in their groovy Mystery Van. Dobie Gilman was the leader of the group then, a football hero whose dreams of becoming a cop would be derailed by a life long battle with addiction. Nicole Jape was a journalism student, and Heather South was a pre-med student with a desperate crush on Dobie and a talent for recreational pharmacology second to none. And Rex? Rex was a wreck, a journalism student who’d eat, smoke, or swallow anything for a thrill. From a strict religious background, Rex sought freedom in that summer trip, and planned to open his mind even if he needed to use a crowbar.

 

That summer was insane, on every level. The gang, stoned out of their minds and driven by Dobie’s urge to play detective and Rex’s budding journalistic instincts, solved over a dozen minor crimes in the Midwest, making the police of several states look like fools. In the process they encountered cultists, crooks, self proclaimed mystics, even a few Super Villains. Every time, every single time, it turned out that the “magic†and “super powers†they encountered were nothing more than sleight of hand and technological trickery.

 

Then came the Thing in the House. A deformed freak, it terrorized the gang past the edge of sanity, capturing them one by one, until it came to Rex. It cornered him, he screamed … and it vanished. Rex searched the room, and found a rigged projector and sound equipment! It had been a fake! He tried to tell the others, but their minds had broken. None of them would ever be the same.

 

When the police investigated the scene, they found no projectors or sound equipment. That’s when Rex first understood the power of the Conspiracy.

 

Rex got off drugs and re-committed himself to journalism. He was good, one of the best. He uncovered frauds, solved mysteries the police couldn’t handle, and won a trunk full of awards. He also learned how to box, and turned his long, lanky frame into a tower of lean muscle. Despite a lifetime of effort, he has yet to break the Super-Conspiracy.

 

Now in his early forties, Rex continues to fight the good fight, writing book after book and even sometimes managing to get a TV special as he debunks the lie of Super Humanity. Rex knows that maniacs like Doctor Destroyer have access to incredible technology, and that some so-called Super Heroes are good men and women trying to serve their fellow citizens. He just can’t understand why they claim to have “powersâ€, or why so many of his fellow journalists seem ready to swallow the lies.

 

Still, Rex loves a mystery, and he’ll never stop searching. He owes it to the gang.

Powers/Tactics: Any form of non-technologically based power under 75 active points will simply fail within around half a kilometer of Rex, unless Rex or the user of the power are under full cover (for purposes of Rex’s Suppress, non technological Force Walls and Entangles do not count as cover even if opaque). Powers over 75 active points will lose 75 points of effect. This power is fully invisible, and Rex has no idea that he has it. Even Superhuman characteristics are affected.

 

If threatened with physical violence, Rex is a big, well muscled man and a trained boxer. He is also blessed with quick reflexes. He will try to talk his way out of trouble, but is not adverse to backing talk with a good right hook.

Campaign Use: Rex makes an absurdly annoying foil for a Super group; just having him show up at a crime in progress is enough to cripple most Supers, both heroes and villains. Only gadget using Supers and Martial Artists are unaffected, and even they may find any mystic abilities or inhumanly high characteristics (any stat over 20 or SPD over 4 unless the character has NCM) nullified. More than one villainous plot has fallen to pieces because Rex happened to be taking a picture, and more than one hero has been severely injured trying to prove his Powers to Rex.

 

Plot Seed: Rex decides to “debunk†the team. How can they fight crime when their powers keep mysteriously failing?

 

Plot Seed: Viper suspects the existence of an incredible Power Nullifying Super in the city. The heroes suspect that Rex may be the Null. Can they stop Viper from getting their hands on Rex? Do they want to?

Speed Racer was a promising young race car driver, however, as time past, his youthful speed slipped away and he was faced with an early retirement. His mechanic friend suggested that he used something to pick him up, claiming it was all natural, but instead it was Cyberline. This black market version proved to be addictive, but made him incredible fast, able to have supernatural reflexes, this plus his native ability to sense dangerous hazards once again made him a demon on wheels (or in the air).

I'm stuck. I had a great idea of doing Speed Racer in his 40s addicted to Cyberline, but I can't seem to spend 350 points on him. Any suggestions?

I like the idea. You can easilly sink the points into the Mark 5 and a base to store it, plus some contacts and maybe followers. Also, Luck and some action hero tricks, and maybe a light Martial Art (just some basic Karate and Judo).

There are also vehicle related powers that a pilot can buy in the Ultimate Vehicle. I don't remember the details, but it included things like boosting the speed of any vehicle driven.
