If you were to see Superlative Man you would see a biker looking fellow who is wearing  white primary motorcycle  gear with a golden trim around the shoulders and a golden setting sun on the back of the jacket. His visor is solid gold in color and he wears black gloves and shoes. Has a toned build.

History:

Dr.Lobe cackles as the final piece of his wonderfully evil DEATH RAY was assembled. After Months of work soon the world will fear his genius might! But before he send his DEATH RAY into space to wreak destruction he needed to personally test the effects of it on the public...and what better representation of the public then the local homeless population, after all no one will notice a missing homeless nobody. "Bring in the test subject!" Cackled Dr.Lobe. 2 faceless goons carried a half conscious man who looked like he's seen better day and strapped him into the restraints of the test chamber. Dr.Lobe's eyes twinkled with glee as he prepared his mighty DEATH RAY. "Huh what's going on? Let go of me!" Said the restraint man only be be met with more cackling from Dr.Lobe. "Soon you will no longer exist when my mighty DEATH RAY shines upon you! Activate the ray!" The beam slowly glowed brighter and brighter before it shined a magnificent light upon the restraint man. When the Ray was turned off the man was no where to be seen. However the man was still there as instead of disintegrating him outright it erased his existence. Soon after the ray was turned off a local superhero busted through the wall and engaged the mad Dr.Lobe in combat defeating him and leaving the room in rubble. Hours later the Undetectable man rose from the ruins unaware of where he was and more importantly who he was. Superlative Man decided to find out just what happened to his image and figured what better way to do it then to confront super villains as a hero.

 

However to be a hero Superlative Man realizes that he needs a base of operation. So he went underground literally and spent the next 14 months build his base and getting used to not being able to see himself so that he will be properly prepared to fight villains. During this time he investigated what had happened to him and found it it was due to a low time wanna-be world dictator Dr.Lobe. Wanting to find Dr.Lobe and reverse whatever cause him to be unseen is easier said than done as shortly after being incarcerated Dr.Lobe escaped from imprisonment and hasn't been seen since. The 14 months of isolation combined with being able to look at himself in the mirror has led to a less than stable mindset.

 

Personality & Motivation:

Superlative Man  has gone somewhat stir crazy over not being able to look at himself anymore not being noticed by anyone which is his main cause for becoming a superhero because as he sees it if he fights crime then villains will have to notice him. He tries at every chance to have interactions with others to prove his own existence. Nonetheless he still tries to do the right thing in the end.

 

Powers & Tactics:

Superlative Man doesn't fight head on or fairly. Instead he attacks when there is an opening and only then. If he cannot get the jump on an enemy then he will try sabotage the enemy's equipment. Superlative Man's focus in group efforts is acting as a saboteur by going behind enemy lines and breaking things whether its using his computer skills to hack into systems or disable device skills to rip apart wiring of death machines.

 

Power Descriptions:

There is no appearance of his powers as his powers is of concealment from visual senses.

 

Complications:
Ignored: Because of his amazing power its somewhat difficult for Superlative Man to maintain relationships as people tend not to notice him.

Impoverished: Superlative Man has no resources outside of taking from villians to help him fight crime.

Amnesia: Due to the madness that was Dr.Lobe Superlative Man has lost his memories prior to gaining his power.

No self Image: Superlative Man cannot perceive himself visually as his power affects him too.

Insomnia: Being able to see through his own eyelids have made it difficult to sleep.

His visor is solid gold in color and he wears black gloves and shoes. Has a toned build.

Firstly, you can edit out the blue text as it's only a marker for the template, so you can delete the Theme: and the Optionally, Day & Month.

Also, you should list some form of alternate identity. If you know it, then it should say even if he doesn't know, if even you don't know, you should just denote it as 'Amnesiac' or 'no known identity'.

Superlative Man! decided to find out just what happened to his image and figured what better way to do it then to confront super villains as a hero.

 

Personality & Motivation:

Superlative Man is a fun loving somewhat childish man who has gone somewhat stir crazy over not being able to look at himself anymore not being noticed by anyone which is his main cause for becoming a superhero because as he sees it if he fights crime then villains will have to notice him. Nonetheless he still tries to do the right thing in the end.

 

Powers & Tactics:

Superlative Man's atoms are transparent and gives off no visual feedback.

 

Power Descriptions:

There is no appearance of his powers as his powers is of concealment from visual senses.

 

Complications:
Ignored: Because of his amazing power its difficult for Superlative Man to maintain relationships.

Impoverished: Superlative Man has no home or resources to help him fight crime.

Amnesia: Due to the madness that was Dr.Lobe Superlative Man has lost his memories prior to gaining his power.

No self Image: Superlative Man cannot perceive himself visually as his power affects him too.

Insomnia: Being able to see through his own eyelids have made it difficult to sleep.

OK, most of this looks good, especially the complications, but maybe expand a couple of sections. What's Superlative been doing and living since the accident? What hero rescued him?  Where's Dr Lobe now? Also maybe split it into some paragraphs. 

I'd also expand on the tactics. How does he use his powers? Does he rely on stealth and surprise attacks? You could very easily write a little more for a couple of sections here.

Abilities: 10 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 0 = 26PP
Strength: 20 (+5)
Dexterity: 14 (+2)
Constitution: 14 (+2)
Intelligence: 16 (+3)
Wisdom: 14 (+2)
Charisma: 10 (+0)

You've got 16 Intelligence listed, when the breakdown and the maths indicates 14. 

Quote

Combat: 8 + 10 = 18PP
Initiative: +2
Attack: +9 Melee, +4 Ranged.
Defense: +9 (+5 Base, +1 Dodge Focus), +3 Flat-Footed

Grapple: +9
Knock-back: -3


Saving Throws: 4 + 6 + 8 = 18PP
Toughness: +7 (+2 Con, +4 Defensive Roll, +1 Armor)
Fortitude: +6 (+2 Con, +4)
Reflex: +8 (+2 Dex, +6)
Will: +10 (+2 Wis, +8)

I'd denote Base Attack for clarity's sake. Plus, melee bonus does add to grapple, so it should be +14. Additionally, we round base defence down when determining flat-footed Defence, so +5 rounds down to +2, and so an odd value is a waste. 

 

Knockback is also all one word. However, otherwise, all the maths adds up fine here.

  • Acrobatics 6 (+8)
  • Climb 8 (+13)
  • Computers 10 (+13)
  • Craft 4 (Chemical) (+7)

  • Stealth 10 (+12)
  • Survival 8 (+10)

Ok, firstly, please follow the template. There's no need to bullet point things.  Secondly, by Knowledge (The Streets), do you mean Streetwise?

This adds up to 160r = 40PP, so you're 2PP short here.

Adds up, but Equipment should be in a quote block immediately after Feats.

You should also include a descriptor for the source of his Concealment, so we know what sort of effects interact with it.

 

You should also include a bottom line showing the final maths total, as shown on the sheet template. 

 

I also have some concerns over a perpetually invisible character. How will he interact with other player characters going forward in the long term, and form relationships?
