My current superhero character of choice is "Nevermore". He's a former hitman who has repented and become an avenging force for justice. Yes, he's a Batman clone with a grim "ravens and skulls" theme, but overall I think he's got enough of a twist to not be a complete waste of time.
I've built him in Mutants & Masterminds, Capes and With Great Power..., and maybe another system or two, but now I'm going to try out the broadly flexible "Other Worlds" system.
Here goes:
Campaign Power Level: 40 (Famous Heroes)
Trademark Scope: 1 Trademark (Action Movie)
Concept: Dark Avenger!
Name: Edgar Polanski AKA "Nevermore"
Appearance: Not particularly handsome, thick-necked guy in a cheap black suit during the day. An outfit like the Blue Falcon, but black, with a white, bird-skull emblem on the chest by night.
Background: Former hitman who saw a woman that he cared about killed by another hitman, prompting him to change his ways.
