Hiya all, I would like some input with the following anti-hero/dark hero Iron Age character idea: a cosmic-level hybrid of brick, energy projector and mentalist (telekinesis/biokinesis only). He should definitely have some features of heroic mindset: keeping his word, being reluctant to lie in important matters, not taking unfair advantages, being protective of innocents, fearlessly striving to help people in need, enforce justice, protect the innocent and the environment by whatever means necessary. However, he should not have hesitation to kill those who deserve it (killers, rapists, child molesters, dictators, drug lords, environment polluters, and the like), in self-defense or to save many other lives, and he should not feel bound by any law or authority past his own moral code. I would also him having some kind of interesting "human, too human" but not evil, and potentially plot-driving character weakness, like arrogance, bad temper, excessive intellectual curiosity, or an unsually high attraction for the other sex.
I'd like him to have a set of cosmic-level powers like: Armor, an Energy Blast/Entangle/RKA Multipower, Enhanced Sight/Hearing/Smell/Infrared/Nightvision/Ultrasonic, Flight, Force Field, Force Wall, total Life Support/Longevity, Mental Defense, Regeneration, a Super-Strength/HA/HKA/"Strength Tricks" Multipower, a Telekinesis/Ego Attack/Healing Multipower.
I seek for a good rationale/special effect behind this set of powers. I have thought about him having turned into a living nuclear reactor (by absorbing a nuclear explosion), or being a living solar/stellar battery, or being a mutant able to channel fundamental forces like electromagnetism and gravity.
I also seek a good set of Disadvantages for him. So far I have come about with the following possible ones: Aggressive in Combat, Arrogant, Curious, Dependence (Weakness and Power Reduction) (Sunlight, Starlight or concentrated forms of energy like power lines or radiation), Devoted To Justice, Enraged (being wounded in combat), Honorable, Hunted (by law enforcement agencies), Hunted (master villain), Lecherous, Must Protect Environment from Damage, Oblivious to Authority, Overconfident and/or Perfectionist, Protective of Innocents, Reputation (ruthless ecoterrorist vigilante), Secret Identity, Susceptibility (heavy elements), or Susceptibility (contact with lead), Vengeful, Vigilante Mentality, Vulnerability (Cold and Darkness attacks), Vulnerability (Presence attacks from desirable opponents).
Other possible ones might be Always Fights Fair (otherwise subsumed in Honorable), Annoyed by Incompetent People (instead of Arrogant), Flustered By Failure (alternatively to Perfectionist), Holds Society In Contempt (alternatively to Oblivious of Authority), Offended by Willful Stupidity (alernatively to Arrogant), Outrageous Flirt (alternatively to Lecherous), Scientific Curiosity, Takes His Responsibilities Seriously (alternatively to Honorable), Wants to Make the World a Better Place, Wants To Save Humanity From Itself, Will Never Break His Word (otherwise subsumed in Honorable).
Suggestions? Opinions?
