The Riveter
Veteran hero whose powers came from a shipyard accident instead of the superhero origin story playbook; gruff and warm, skips galas, walks the docks in work coat over costume, and...
Got her powers in a shipyard accident instead of a lab or a meteor strike, and never once let anybody forget it. Skips the galas. Still walks the docks in a work coat over the costume, keeps a toolbox in her trunk, and calls the Longwatch's round table a waste of good conference space. Underemployed more than retired, since half the yards she used to protect don't exist anymore. Shows up for anyone who still works with their hands.
Appearance: Faded work coat zipped over a patched-up costume, welding goggles pushed up on a bandana, forearms scarred from old shipyard work. Carries a toolbox like other heroes carry a shield.
