Clyde Allen, the Atomic Man

I'd like to have some eyes go over Clyde's crunchy bits to check if everything is legal and whatnot. I'm especially concerned about the device and the vulnerability drawback that goes with it.

I would say that the Device is not really a Device. Can this person move around without the Heart? Can it be taken away and they can still operate in a non-powered form? Taking out someone's heart sounds like the sort of thing that would kill them, and that's not how a Device works.

If his heart gets takes, he has around 14 minutes to get it back or he runs out of energy and basically shuts down. Clyde is functionally around PL7.5 offensively without the device with his effectiveness lowering by 1 PL around every 2 minutes or so.

 

I think there was some confusion with my formatting and the forum basically showed all of his powers under the one device. I edited the OP to make things more legible.

 

The Atomic-Powered Heart only contains the CHASE array which contains most of his offensive powers. Without it he still has his body to lean on for fighting and comes in at a respectable PL 7.5 for offense..

Scanning this:

 

1. No major problem with the atomic powered heart device, but you do need to be clear this is removable. I suppose there might be a concern about this if he constantly "wearing" the device, as its a pretty big discount you get. A battlesuit for instance would need to be put on (usually) if in his secret I.D. 

 

2. I am a bit concerned about the Vulnerability. Firstly, its potentially lethal. It means he has to wear his heart constantly. To be honest, I am not sure how you would ever get a situation with this guy getting captured and his heart removed (which would kill him). And if its never )or only with great difficulty) going to happen, is it worth the large PP? To be honest, I think its neater to say that this is not a device, but he could be disabled as a result of someone surgically removing his power source as a complication. 

 

3. Morph is mispriced. I make it 9 PP (12PPbase, -3 for drawback)
