Playbook Spotlight: The Protégé

Playbook Spotlight: The Protégé 

“You proved yourself to someone who’s been there, done that. They’ve been training you for ages. And now, you’re trying to decide…do you want to be them? Or do you want to find your own path?”

The Protégé is all about their relationship with their mentor. Their mentor is the source of their training, their equipment…maybe even the reason they’re in the superhero scene to begin with. The Protégé’s mentor has even given resources to the team as a whole. And the Protégé is, without doubt, one of the most qualified on the whole team to be involved in superheroics—they may have an even better idea of what it takes than the Legacy does, and it shows in their moves. But for all that the Protégé owes their mentor, they may not want to actually become their mentor. That push and pull drives the playbook. 

The Protégé is inspired by characters such as Robin or Aqualad (Season One of Young Justice), Terry McGinnis (Batman Beyond), Cyclops (X-Men), and Armor (X-Men), among many others.
