To the point where I infected Iximaz (and technically Darkotas, if only by proxy). Tt = best fox. =]
And as for you, Sparkler...
(aside from the obvious being Grue, or Fog, or Clockblocker, or any teek...)
NEMESIS: Redline (Trump 6)
POWERS: Redline describes his power as "dangerous escalation". He is able to greatly enhance the powers of multiple capes, but at great cost to the capes themselves. Typically this implies removing invulnerabilities to effects they create - a fire-hurling Blaster becoming easily burned, a Mover with super-speed becoming affected by the friction of air resistance, and so on.
BACKSTORY: A thrill-seeker and former low-level wrestler, DeShawn Elliott triggered when a hardcore fight went dangerously out of control and a neo-Nazi proceeded to be the tar out of him. Desperate and fearing for his life, he reached out and tapped into the essence of the guy's power, knowing he could hold out a little longer if he just dodged. The man, later discovered to be the notorious cape Stormfront (not to be confused with Stormtiger, who was on the Eastern Seaboard at the time), seemed to grow and swell with each passing second, until the strain on his internal organs basically gave him a case of Important-Bits-Blowing-Up-But-Good.
NEMESIS STATUS: Honestly? He plays it off as trying to help, but really he thinks she's a liability, a bad cape in a worse part of town trying and failing to be the hero she thinks she is. His power is extremely dangerous, especially for a Striker like Sparkler. Her objects often blow up in her hands when he's around and the effect makes it harder for her to control the detonation. The other capes on Sparkler's team have a habit of neglecting to mention that he's there... possibly because she sings Disney songs at three in the morning when Targeter's just trying to get some darn sleep-
Ahem.
