I really like the VPP for his telepathic powers. it gives him the versatility he really needs. I do have a couple of suggestions though. He really needs some sort of all encompassing danger sense to prevent the sniper on the roof from killing him before he gets an action. Maybe even a detect minds always on so that he is always aware of people around him. Also some more speed..at 4 speed a lot of villains would run rings round him. As he is not really a physical person in any way I would 'borrow' the idea that was used for Menton(I think?) and give him +5 speed 'only to use his VPP's' so that he can take a lot of mental actions but not a great many physical ones

Re: Character help needed What do you want it to be capable of? Thats largely the whole point of the HERO System. Names are just that.. names. What matters is the effect you are trying to achieve. Speak to your player, what does she envision using the ectoplasm for? Does she want to damage people with it? Then its an energy blast or a killing attack. Does she want to be able to create a big pair of ectoplasmic hands that can pick stuff up and throw it around, then its telekinesis. Does she want to do classic Ghostbusters and 'Slime' people with it? Then its an entangle (or to be more sneaky, a drain, affects all movement powers simultaneously, area effect 1 hex, but thats quite expensive!) Does she want to be able to fill an area with ectoplasm so people can't see through it? Thats Darkness. Coat herself with it to absorb or deflect damage? Armor or force field (With Ablative perhaps so people can blow chunks of it away?) Mould constructs out of it to help her fight? Summon. And so on, you get the idea. Chances are she will want to do some or all of that and some other stuff besides in which case you are looking at a Multipower or an Elemental Control to tie it all together. Pick a power.. I'd say almost any physical power can have the special effect 'Ectoplasm' if you really want it to. Hope that helps Jarandis
