THE RECLUSE
Secret Identity: James Desborough, agoraphobic and antisocial writer.
Origin: Feeling left out of the whole superhero thing James spent a great deal of money on Ebay purchasing the super-powered gadgetry of a number of supervillains who had been arrested in the US and had their goods confiscated as part of their punishment. Suitably equipped he took up a life of crime fighting for a period before deciding it was all far too much effort and the human race were:

‘A bunch of useless bastards who deserve to be robbed’.

He still uses his formidable detective skills in the service of the Legion Of Ming but would rather sit at home in his pants and write.

Powers
Spider Arms: The Recluse’s mechanical arms raise his Scrapping to Average (6) and have Oomph of Gooby (20). They also provide an extra combat action and can be used in place of his legs to move.

Armoured Coat: The Recluse’s trenchcoat is interwoven with spider silk giving it an armour of Average (6).

Bug Eyes: The Recluse’s bug-eye goggles allow him to see in the dark, to have thermographic vision and using predictive algorithms increase his Perception to Gooby (20).

Limitation: The Recluse gets all his equipment on the cheap via ebay. Villains will often turn up to try and reclaim his items and they can be unreliable. If the first roll on any of his devices in a game is black, the device breaks down and won’t be available until the next game.

I was reviewing some old files and found the game I did as a Christmas/Birthday present for my circle of friends a while back. This was my comedy superhero character sheet and I thought you might find it amusing…
