Campaign Use:

 

Appearance:  A handsome chinese man with a hard-won physicque of granite and classical hollywood features. Mr Lei dresses like a chauffeur with a domino mask. He his slacks, hat, mask, gloves, jacket are all white. His shirt and tie are black as are his shoes.

 

 

Clearly, this guy is an homage to Kato. Sooo. Now I have to make the crime fighter he protects. 

The Four Celestials Kung Fu are a Hero Universe creation so I may have to tinker with them to make them more friendly to my world. 

Also he lacks resistant defenses of any kind (save the blocking technique, and the Dodge is desolidificaton) so I might be ok there. 

 

The Phoenix Ascendant ability is to bath himself in flames - he doesn't do this very often.

There I was thinking he would be based in Hawaii.

What is: Off Hand Defense?

[Enforcer84]

I believe it's a +1 to DCV if he's wielding two weapons.

Here's Mr. Lei:

 

 

 

 

His look reminds me of a funny story that I read in an issue of Reader's Digest several years ago.

 

There was a white couple that had decided to go to dinner at a local restaurant one evening, and they

arrived at the same time as a black couple. The white man was dressed in a black outfit with a white shirt,

while the other was dressed in a white suit with a black shirt. Both men stared at each other in silence,

until it was broken by the black man. "My God," he said, "one of us must be the negative!"

 

I don't think that my recollection of the story is 100% word-for-word accurate (it's been at least 30 years

since I'd originally read the story), but I'm fairly certain that the end line is right.

Oh! I recall that. Just not the name. Thank you
