Looks good, but I feel compelled to mention that, if any old-timers catch wind of that name, they're going to think he's made of cardboard. Goldbrick was a member of the Gilt Complex, an old farcical villain team from the Adventurer's Club magazine designed to give the GM a way to encourage PCs to learn restraint; they're all fast, and thus hard for normals to hit. However, they have 1 Defenses and 5 Body, so if a super hits them, they're a greasy splatter.

Um...why buy Armor in 2 chunks rather than simply 10 PD/ 10 ED?

[MisterD]

The reason for 2 Armors is that he has two absorbs and I think somewhere there is a no two absorbs can aid the same characteristic/power.

Along with Goldrush (speedster) and Goldmind (mentalist). I actually used them as written: I had a particular player who didn't know the meaning of "restraint". He wound up killing two of them. To that player's credit, he roleplayed his character's remorse well, even turning himself in for murder. He got probation (it was manslaughter at worst).

BTW: Whenever two attacks resolve together, if one of them makes the target more susceptible to the other attack (such as Drains and Transfers), it resolves LAST.

You cant use 2 Absorbs vs the same attack.

I have to point out two things:

 

A) Gold is a very soft metal. Titanium Brick, Iron Brick, and even Aluminum Brick are going to pound Gold Brick into gold leaf.

 

"Goldbricking" is old slang for being a lazy, shiftless, do-nothing. Or something like that.

Awww, and I thought I was original with my new speedster from California calling him Gold Rush. Guess I need to come up with a new name... waaaaaaaa!

Well,

 

A) I'm sure he's only gold in color. The whole "Body of Gold" thing is probably just for flavor.

Sounds like a great character concept and psychological limitation (lazy) to me. "Aw geez, I don't feel like stopping another bank heist. Can't someone else do it?"
