Another possible concept here. A while back, I asked about the viability of using Masks or a similar game to run an Empowered story. It was apparent to all the veterans here that it didn’t gel, but I do still have ideas regarding the characters.
Firstly, Thug Boy–a younger version–would make for an interesting take on the Reformed. Not quite an ex-villain, but a former anti-super terrorist now connected to the team by a relationship. The existence of the Hatchlings from the HCHC seems like a great basis for a normal person with superhuman weapons and tactics. My primary question is who would make for good contacts.
Thoughts?
