I will generally be the first to condemn the banks. But this time, I come to praise one. I don't llike the "remember 9/11" tag as political pandering, but we do remember it.
 
Bank that lost 66 employees to the attacks on 9/11 have funded college tuition for 54 of their children.

Not funny. Not neat. Not creepy. But a pic.

Electric Blue, my character from our group's recent Mutants and Masterminds campaign drawn by Scott Harshbarger. 
Unlike most comic book electric power characters he is not an energy blaster.  He can shoot a big arch of lightning but it drains him and can even injure him if he uses it too much and it causes a lot of collateral damage. 
His suit is insulated which helps keep him from grounding himself out on the ground and accidentally EMPing nearby electronics and has wires running through it to help direct his electrical charge (in other words he does more damage in costume).  The copper disks are contact points he uses to attack and the two finger trick he is doing in the picture lets him function as a stun gun/taser incapacitating with less lethal force. 
Primarily a hand to hand fighter his basic tactic is to act like he is going to throw a punch and then simply touching the target (on arm if they attempt to block) (high chance to hit, low damage).  If he is fighting an automaton or a particularly tough super he may try to "Defib" them, placing both hands on the target and sending the energy from one hand to the other through something vital (low chance to hit, high damage).  He can also simply make it so his entire body is electrified, though this quickly drains his energy (the attack gets weaker each use and cause fatigue eventually).  He will often use his electric touch and attempt to grab or trip an opponent.  That way if he hits, even if they break free from his grab or keep their feet, he still does some damage.
He gets around the city by skating on telephone lines, power lines, and the metro rails. 
EDIT: His goggles are built into the suit and are mirrored copper colored to match the copper highlights on his suit.  The insulated suit is a bit rubbery, think the material from the first Spider-Man movies but with less texture. He originally tried a full face mask but found it too uncomfortable and it made him hard to hear since his com had to be built into the outer edge of his costume to avoid shorting it out.
EDIT: Picture broke.  Let's see if this works...

SPOOOON!

I love how the governments blame the refugees and not the people killing everyone. 
 
Ok, I know it's more nuanced than that. Still angry.

Like I've said, I likes me some escapism. This is a book that looks at what happens to our game worlds when the PC's TPK.
 
Good cast of characters, some nice inside jokes for gamers.  

Today I drove a Lamborghini Huracan, among other expensive vehicles, at an event put on by the local exotic car dealer. They set out cones in the stadium parking lot to delineate a short track, and foolishly allowed a certain subset of the proletariat to operate the vehicles, which ranged in value from USD$80k - $280k.
 
The Lamborghini was surprisingly easy to drive; I suspect I really wasn't pushing it that hard (for a Lambo). There were several occasions when I was certain the tires were going to break loose... but they didn't. The expert driver in the passenger seat seemed happy enough with my driving acumen and was giving pointers as to what line to take, as opposed to the kind of advice he was giving the other drivers.
 
Also driven were the Maserati Ghibli, which was obscenely luxurious and quite powerful, and the Audi TT, which handled very well but had an annoying transmission. Perhaps most surprising was the Audi S7, which performed extremely well for a heavy sedan.
 
Incredibly these people would also allow commoners to drive their own vehicles on the track, and after much badgering from youngest boy, I took my little teg out for a few laps. It was a little silly with a back seat full of child seats, toys, magazines, and little boys sloshing around, but she handled surprisingly well on the turns. Of course she had less than a third of the horsepower of the other cars so she couldn't compete in that department, but I was more than happy with our showing given that her blue book is 1% of the Lambo's.
 
Kids also got to ride in the vehicles that actually had back seats, so it was a very enjoyable afternoon overall.
