Thunder King

"Sometimes, starting over is the best way to do something. I'm glad you guys are going to try to get past this. So, who's hungry? You know me, always hungry." Adam was slightly awkward. He was glad, but still, a bit awkward. He also really was hungry a lot of the time. Sometimes he chalked it up to his unique nature, other times to being a regular teenager. Either way, food.

Doktor'd!

Edits for Voltage; Please remove [floatr][/floatr]  from near the player name.

Change his hair color to white instead of gray. 

Change his description to;  Voltage is nearly six feet tall and slim but fit. His face is sharp and somewhat hardened by isolation. His now-white hair is kept short in a neat if nondescript cut. 

Change/add complications as follows, please;

Delete the 'awkward teen' complication, delete the 'Job' complication, and add; 

Isolation: Voltage is a few years behind in terms of pop culture and recent events. 

Katastroffic Influence: Voltage is employed by a massive tech company, and they probably have both rivals and enemies.

I hate Crowds: Voltage avoid large groups of people as much as he can

Big Brain, Small Head:  Voltage's mind works like a supercomputer, incredibly complex and fast. However, even he can't keep up with his own mind sometimes and this can cause headaches, both literal and figurative. 

Add the following to his History right at the end; 

In 2013, Voltage formally retired from heroics to focus on his career. He went to work for Katastroff and got some serious education under his belt. Within four years, he was Dr Thomas Morgan, three times over. He continued to work for Katastroff.

In mid-2017, he received research funds and opened his own facility in an isolated location in the upper atmosphere. He was the sole researcher, and within a few weeks, he was in total isolation. He powered the facility and received deliveries of food, but after a while he broke contact off completely. He did not see a single, living human in person from June 2018 until March 5^th, 2020.

On March 5^th, 2020, he voluntarily left his facility and closed it down. He had done as much as he could locked in a facility by himself, and he's decided to rejoin the world as a whole. He has, as well, decided to dust off his old costume and resume the identity of Voltage.

"It's very fascinating. I'm really enjoying it a lot. How is school going for you? Learning anything really good?" Adam smiled as he leaned forward. He knew his girlfriend was unnerved by the kid, but he also kind of understood why. So he was the liaison between the two.  

He smiled over at Lulu in apology. He knew she didn't like having to deal with him. 

As soon as Adam was safe, he collapsed. His shoulders sagged and he took a deep breath. He was tough, insanely so. He had never been injured in any real sense ever in his entire life. Übermensch knocked Felix out cold, and Adam knew Felix was about as tough as he was.  Übermensch was out for blood. He was a nazi and perfectly willing to do great evil to them. All they were guilty of was trying to help innocent people.

Adam took a deep breath, and focused. This was his first real brush with danger, and he performed admirably. He was going to do what he had to do. He wasn't just gonna take being a superhero seriously, he was going to train, to toughen, to grow. The first thing on his list? Learning to throw a proper punch.

"Well guys, we did it. We won!" He laughed and stood up. "Hell yeah!! We fought freaking nazis, and we kicked, their, ass!" 

Crimson Tiger bolted forward, moving towards one of the men with surprising speed. She grabbed him by the head and slammed her knee into his face before he had time to react. He fell back and she turned to the next man. He was a bit too far away to close in immediately, but she didn't mind. He didn't look like he could handle her easily. 

24 I'm gonna assume that stealth is a waste of effort now and she's just gonna attack. 

Adam is going to stunt Move-By-Action so he can snatch Felix up and leave

Adam charged for Felix and snatched him up. Then, he bolted for the cave. They'd done as much as they could in this situation, to save these people. He had broken some nazi tanks, beaten up several of nazi super soldiers, and hit Superior himself in the face. He'd done his part, and now he was out of here. 

27 on initiative. 

These guys really didn't realize where they were. Freedom City was loaded with superheroes, and Crimson Tiger was right behind the man with the gun.

She elbowed him in the face and kicked the gun out of reach, sending the man sprawling. She knew she couldn't vanish again, so she just entered a ready stance. She knew none of them were a match for her in a straight fight, but there was always a chance that they weren't alone. There might be a lookout, more people, or a bunch of other possibilities. 

"Don't you guys realize that this place is patrolled by heroes? C'mon, are you that amateurish?" 

Crimson Tiger is going to attack the person in back, using Stealth (23, thanks Skill Mastery) to do a good ol' fashion attack at 24

Crimson Tiger crept quietly behind the young men, keeping well out of sight. She listened carefully and waited for them to move. There were more of them than was usual for this kind of robbery, which seemed a little odd. It might just be a routine robbery, but she wanted to make sure that was what they were going to do. That, and she wanted to make sure she could intercept them if any of them ran from her. 

Going to use stealth to sneak up on these guys. That's a 23 for Skill Mastery

Adam struggled to sleep. His early life of isolation meant that he had few opportunities to sleep anywhere but his own bed. He got used to sleeping at Claremont, but here? Here he was wide awake. He was fine, though. His enhanced physiology meant that the occasional sleepless night didn't hurt him much at all.

"What thump?" He said, unable to hear what Pan was talking about. 

"Food's on it's way, Lawrence. Just letting you know. So what do you wanna do? Wanna play a game, or just go back to your room and do what you were doing? Totally up to you." He kinda wished that he would go back to his room so things wouldn't be awkward between he and Lulu.

He stretched out and leaned back. 

"You're going to lose." Adam said, staring down at Übermensch. "Not just here, not just you, you lose the whole war." Then, he charged.

He flew forward towards Übermensch and slammed his fist into the side of his head as hard as he could. He didn't hold back, he knew that he needed to stop this monster. His hit was enough to rock Übermensch, and he figured that would give them time.

"We need to get outta here!"

Adam is going to move in and full-on power attack;

21

DC35 TOU 

IF he's not badly affected by that, gonna use Extra Effort so Adam is gonna go for another one. If the first one knocks him out, disregard the second shot. 

11 Another full power attack, another DC35 TOU save.

Ooops

To her credit, Mali was not upset. She blinked a few times, and then broke down laughing. It was a long, hysterical laugh. 

"Oh, god, I'm sorry." She said when she finally stopped laughing. "I promise I'm not upset, and I'm not laughing at you. Seriously, you're good! I'm just amused at how, well, normal the situation was with you." 

She gave him a warm, kind smile. "Honestly, when I was in high school I got caught lying about my age as a superhero. That's how -I- ended up at Claremont." 

Mali had just finished a workout, then took her post workout shower. Then she remembered that they had guests and threw her bathing suit on before heading to the pool. She wore a lot of black, she admitted, but it suited her complexion. 

She walked into the pool area in a modest but flattering black two piece. She hadn't bothered to spike her hair because she was just about to get in the pool, and she was not about to bother with all that. She could have worn something else, but this was where she lived and she was a lot more comfortable in casual wear, or a bikini, than she was in anything formal. Her least favorite part of being a grown up. 

She was carrying a bottle of water. "Hey everyone. To those I know, hi. To those I don't, my name is Mali."

Adam just chuckled. "Excellent use of your powers, Lulu. I'm impressed." He sat down, gingerly, and stretched out. "I know you said you have issues with him, but I am interested in meeting our young charge. What do you want to do, watch a movie, maybe?" He glanced around the room. "Babysitting is a lot easier with older kids, I bet."

"Time to go!"  Adam said to Felix. Adam took off as fast as he could. This foe was beyond them. He really didn't feel like dying in 1940s France. They had saved people, and now it was time to go.

This had been a very strange experience, and now he intended to go home. Or, at least back to his era. After that he had an interesting story for Lulu. That was his happy thought, Lulu.

With the fragile ones all taking off, Adam is gonna go. Felix is faster

Mali raised her hands in a slightly defensive pose. "I've met all sorts of people in my time. Let's just say I'm out of uniform right now?" She said, hinting at her heroic activities.

"Just because someone is a member of a group that's potentially bad doesn't necessarily mean they themselves are bad. I've fought alongside ninjas, ghosts, thieves, other kinds of criminals, grue, all sorts of people. I'm not saying we shouldn't be suspicious, we totally should, but let's try to be fair, here." 

"Oh, and that guy isn't my date. God, I haven't had a date since high school...anyway, I met him here and I have no idea what his deal is." 

"Sure, thanks." He said. "I'll leave him alone for now, then." He shook his head. "I never had any babysitters as a kid. My mom and dad sort of rotated taking care of me if one of them needed to go somewhere. Luckily, they got a grant for studying me so they didn't have to worry about it too much." He shrugged.

"I've seen enough movies to know what teenagers usually do when babysitting." He blinked and realized what he said. "But I don't want to raid their fridge or anything. No parties, nothing like that. Just hang out, you know?"
