The Other super heros in the city have stumbled upon the fact that the current incarnation of your hero isn't the real deal.
In 1993 the Supergroup visited hell, to release the soul of a fallen hero. It went marginally well. What wasn't know is that when they returned, the power of the plane of hell, ( Asmodeus , for arguments sake) , Cloistered your hero away, and sent a duplicate in his place.
For the last 16 years, you hero has been replaced by a new duplicate, the amount of good he has done, and has been exposed to has made him (actually a unholy creation) like being good.
Until the last replacement, who has sent the local Supergroup on wild goose chase, made deals with "The Duchess" of Viper, And worse yet , is in talks with Luthor Blacks immediate minions(these parts , are not fully exposed as of yet).
Meanwhile Your hero , Who is a classic 500 point Superman styled brick , bides his time waiting with a sliver of hope that either he can find a away out , or someone will realize that hes still down there.
Question #1 :Out of game: If he was rescued, would you want to play him at his current point level (A lot, 1900+), would you be willing to run him at 500 points, or somewhere in between ( we can assume he wasn't sitting on a rock for 16 years, he may have made himself useful in a good way somehow).
Question #2 : In game: Besides not being totally in line with current events, How would you play him? Would he be a broken man? Would he Return as the 4 color hero he once was?
