Re: Opinions: A 'Hero' Stealing Their Gear.....????
I have a character named Force Knight. He got his powers while stealing a laptop computer from a science lab at the local university. He did it while the scientist was running some tests on an experimental force field projector and the power source is a trans-dimensional power tap. While he was stealing the laptop, VIPER broke thru the outside wall in their usual subtle style. This completely disrupted the experiment and a stray shot hit the power source. Which I was hiding behind. The Trans-dimensional power tap went into me, giving me force field powers. I ran out of there and hid for a while.
My character joined the group after he stopped a robbery at a big shindig for 'important' people. He was actually there to steal the jewel. The press labeled him a hero. it was only later , away from the cameras, that the truth came out. He was given 2 choices. 1. Prison for 10-15 years 2 join the local super-group and wear an ankle monitoring device. He took option 2. Force powers really help when stealing things. Need a lockpick, create one on the spot.
