Okay, I think I did it right. I'm a little confused about the Flatfooted thing, but admittedly I'm using a spreadsheet to help me get things right, and that's just how it came out. Otherwise, edited and hopefully ready for approval!

I gotcha. That makes a lot of sense, really. So I updated the OP, taking all suggestions into account and doing a little tweaking of my own. Tell me what you think!

I see, I see. I think I had Alt-Powers and Feats both a bit messed up in my head. So, a proper device layout would be as so: Device (Power-Gauntlets): (Vibration Control (8 cost, 4 ranks), Alt-Power: Leaping (1 cost), Feat: Precise (1 cost)) 8 cost, 2 ranks Device (Vibro-Suit): (Protection (1 cost, 2 rank), Immunity 3 (cold, heat, pressure; 3 cost, 3 rank)) 4 cost, 1 rank Yeah?

The odd numbers were a mistake, yes. I didn't know about the even numbers deal Makes sense, though. So I changed some stuff around which I'll edit into the OP once I figure out this little problem. So the rank suggestions I'm getting for the powers in my devices seem to take a lot more PP than I have available for my devices. With the Power Gauntlets having 2 ranks at 4 cost, and the suit having 1 rank at 4 cost, that gives me 15 PP to spend on powers and feats for my devices. So let's say I went with what's been suggested so far, I'd have: Pulse-Gauntlets: Base Power - Vibration Control (2 cost per rank, 4 ranks = 8 PP) Alt Power - Leaping (1 cost per rank, 8 ranks = 8 PP) Feat - Precise (1 cost per rank, 4 ranks = 4 PP) Vibro-Suit: Base Power - Protection (2 cost per rank, 2 ranks = 4 PP) Alt Power - Immunity (1 cost per rank, 3 ranks = 3 PP) That spends 27 PP, when I only have 15, unless I'm doing the math all wrong or there's something I'm missing.

No, that makes a lot of sense, actually, and your suggestions for the devices are spot on. Really, setting up the devices was where I was having the most trouble, as that was the most confusing part. As for the rest, I'm happy to take your advice. It all sounds great to me.

As a child growing up on the outskirts of Freedom City, he would use circuit boards and other miscellaneous technology lying around their secluded house to create new and exciting things. As a child, Wesley's father, Harrison, was never happy with his son. Harrison urged Wesley to follow in his footsteps as a miner, and chided his son for not being tough enough. Wesley was forced into entering the mining profession, but his heart wasn't in it. One day, as Wesley approached his eighteenth birthday, a cave-in occurred at the mine, due to a battle between Captain Thunder and D. Stratos. Wesley barely escaped, but wasn't physically strong enough to save his father, who slowly died in front of him after being crushed by falling debris. Harrison's last words to his son were damning him for not being what he wanted. Afterwards, Wesley left home and went to college in Freedom City. He dropped out halfway through to accept a job offer made directly to him by Dr. Clarence Macleod, who saw his potential as an engineer. He worked for Astro Labs as a researcher, hitting the books and helping to work on various projects around the lab. When not working at Astro, Wes found himself working on his own projects or at the Never-Ending Story, where he was/is a frequent customer. Wes' ultimate project was a device that allowed control over vibrations, something that would have allowed Wesley to stop the cave-in the killed his father. After a year and a half of work, Wesley had created the Pulse-Gauntlets, two metal sheathes that fit onto the wrists that allowed Wesley to control the vibrations of matter around him. Finding the gauntlets too volatile to control normally, however, prompted Wesley to piece together a protective, insulated suit that allows the wearer to not be affected by the gauntlets themselves. One night, while working late hours in the lab, Wes heard something coming from a few room over. When he arrived, he was shocked to find three schoolgirls ransacking the room and stealing precious micro-processors. The red-haired girl, Ako, dealt a swift blow to Wesley, dizzying him so they could escape. Wesley, however, fueled by adrenaline, quickly put on the suit and the Pulse-Gauntlets, following the Angel Androids back to the lair of their master, Doc Otaku, using the Pulse-Gauntlets to propel him across rooftops. Wesley then used the gauntlets to cave in the toy factory the young genius was using as his hideout, and retrieve the micro-processors. From then on, Wes knew he could use these gauntlets not just as a tool for safety, not just as a tool for redemption, but as a tool for justice. This is my first MnM character, so any help would be appreciated if he didn't turn out right or I wrote something down here incorrectly!

Um, well, this is all a bit intimidating, but hey, let's jump in. I'm Matt, I'm a 22 year old currently in Georgia working as a ramp agent for Midwest Airlines at Hartsfield-International Airport. I live in an apartment with two roommates and hope to be moving to California's Bay Area within the next few months to finish college there and get my English degree. I'm pretty new to this stuff. I got most of the books from a friend, decided to check it out online, and this seemed like exactly the type of forum I was looking for, despite it being full of people who seem to know what they're doing a lot more than I. So I'm hoping I can pick it up pretty quickly. I've read through the books a lot and have my first character written up, so I hope he's up to snuff. That's... about it, really. Hiya!
