Mid-tier muscle in a matching outfit, working for one of the city's named villains. Low-grade powers, gear off the Tinkerer's bench, and a paycheck that matters more than the boss does. Nobody's dying for this job — they just need to look like they've earned the costume.

Signature moves: synchronized strike, low-grade power blast, drag a hostage for cover, retreat in formation.

Defeated by: the team pushing past the point where the paycheck stops being worth it.

Appearance: A mass-produced henchman costume in a matching color scheme, cheap fabric that bunches at the joints, a half-glowing gadget clipped to the belt; a nervous swagger.
