Here's Thunderbolt, a vigilante with a nasty attitude problem.
Name: Thunderbolt Side/Affiliation: Good Identity: Shawn West Sex: Male Age: 21 Experience: 0 Level: 1 Training: Strength Skills:
Area Knowledge (INT) – Empire City Driving (AGL) Investigation (NT) “Dad was a Cop” Mechanic (INT) Firearms (INT) “Dad was a Cop” Observation + 30% to Perception Profession (INT) – Mechanic Stealth (AGL) Street Wise (INT) Knowledge – Martial Arts Language (INT) – Japanese Knowledge (INT) -Criminology “Dad was a Cop” Language (INT) – Italian Knowledge –Underworld/Crime Powers/Abilities: 1. Electric/Lightning Control: 2d8 damage, R=32", PR=4; PR=4 to attempt to take control. PR=4 to attempt to short out. 2. Magnetic Control: 3. Flight: 256 mph, PR=1 per hour. 4. Heightened Expertise: +4 to hit w/All Weapons 6. Armor B [Kevlar/Metal Woven Mesh Armored suit with metal inserts, Armored Duster with White Cloak, Mask] w/2 powers: ADR (48). Armor has a SR of 4. a) Enhanced Senses (Radar Sense): a) Enhanced Senses: Radar Sense - A very fine conductive non-ferrous metal weave is woven into the inside of the armor. With his Magnetic powers Thunderbolt has learned to 'feel' with this mesh and detect the differences in the magnetic fields and electric static in the very air with the non-ferrous material as a 'zero' point to differentiate from other magnetic variances all around him at once. The mesh effectively works to make his suit act like a magnetic resonance grid overlaying a map of his surroundings in a MRI scanner fashion. 4 x Perception score, negates penalty for attacking from back/rear arc.
Weapons/Equipment: 1. Pistol (.50 Cal Desert Eagle)” +3 to hit, 1d8 damage, A x 6 range (taken from a drug dealer Boss) 2. Sword (Katana)” +2 to hit, +1d6 damage (taken from a Yakuza Hitman) 3. Shuriken (Carried in internal duster pockets): +3 to hit, HTH+1 damage, 16” range; 9 carried. 4. Kyogetsu Shoge 'Hooked Blade & Weighted Chain' (ninja weapon - +2 to hit, HTH+1d2, R= 16” / [Weight/light Club] = +2 hit, HTH+1 (16”) 80’ft cable (ninja weapon - except the weighted chain is a metal cable 80'ft in length with a 4,000lbs capacity) - 2 carried. 5. 1lbs Iron Discus (attached/inset into shoulder epaulets, forearm bracers, and shin guards. They are detachable and can be manipulated with Magnetic Control... very similar to Cosmic Boy's 'Legion of Superheroes' four 'magno balls' attached to the chest of his costume) - 6 carried.
Weaknesses: 1. Vulnerability (Water) - Shorts out powers and grounds his electricity through his nervous system if his powers are in use. In a vastly understated word 'ouch!' Not an issue... if his powers are not in use. 2. Low-Self Control (Inability 'or is it unwillingness? to "hold Back" damage} He has rage issues... like many abused children and his lightning powers are fueled by rage making them somewhat hard to control when he is angry. 'like Lighting Lad of the Legion of Superheroes' 3. Secret Weakness: Vulnerability (Magnetic Attacks): Unknown to Shawn since he generates electrical and magnetic fields... his body counts as a 'metallic' object for the purposes of being manipulated by Magnetic induction or controlling fields. Of course he could attempt to counter such attacks with his own Magnetic Control... but it would certainly catch him off guard being thrown about like a piece of steel wool in a MRI scanner.
Notes: Thunderbolt's costume is his Armor. His Costume, Duster, Cloak are all composed of a woven metallic mesh that is manipulable and repairable by his Magnetic control powers. The Armor consists of two powers of its own.

Origin/Background: Shawn West gained his powers when retrieving his sister from a drug-rave party he and Sarah were kidnapped by unknown assailants and taken to a junkyard and given experimental drugs of some sort. Shawn managed to escape and turn the tables on their attackers. In their escape there was a violent thunderstorm going on at the time and Shawn and Sarah were both in contact with a crane assembly that was struck with lightning. It triggered something in Shawn's genetics... perhaps exacerbated by whatever drugs they have been given... and he did not die. Shawn's powers manifested then and he took out a brutal vengeance on the kidnappers. THUNDERBOLT was born. Sarah was rescued and returned home... but it was unsure what if any powers she has gained. Sarah is not talking about it. From that point on THUNDERBOLT waged a one man war on the drug-dealers and organized crime families in Chicago... leaving behind his signature burned in the surroundings or formed from twisted metal lumps of the criminals own weapons and or whole vehicles.
Personality/Character Traits: A Black American vigilante with a background in punishing evil-doers with a harsh but fair hand. He does his best to look after his younger sister Sarah West (sister, age 15) High-School student, “Wild-Child” (Wt: 115, HT: 5'2"; Mutant Power '?')and his abusive alcoholic father Thomas West (father, age 48) Ex-ChicagoPD Officer, 'Now' Security Guard at GENOM ™ Pharmacuticals – USA branch.
Other Information: Shawn has taken extensive training in martial arts before his powers and especially now with them ...trying to improve his efficiency as a street vigilante. The lightning seems to have improved his reaction/reflex time and Shawn's martial skills have far outstripped what he used to be capable of. Shawn is now ambidextrous. His Tae Kwon Do - instructor (Master Youn Pi Choy) has noticed and suspects something has dramatically changed in Shawn.
