Conditions

Inflicts:

The one COMPASS wishes hadn't survived the program. A dangerous superhuman whose powers never came out the way the labs intended — unstable, sharp in some directions and blank in others, and scared out of his mind.

Signature moves: lash out at the nearest stress, dump power with no control, recognize a teammate from the lab, beg.

Defeated by: the team shielding him long enough for somebody who knows the protocol to arrive — usually with Comfort or Support doing the heavy lifting.

Appearance: A gaunt frame in tattered hospital-issue fabric, skin marked with faint surgical scarring or uneven power-glow, wide and frightened eyes.
