Moves

Punch everyone: Whenever you charge into a fight without hedging your bets, you can shift your Danger up and any other label down. There when it matters: When you defend someone, on a hit you can hold 1 instead of choosing one from the list. Spend your hold when they are in danger later to arrive on the scene ready to help.

The Bull’s Heart You always have exactly one love and one rival. You can change your love or rival at any time; give the new subject of your affections or disdain Influence over you. Take +1 ongoing to any action that impresses your love or frustrates your rival.

Defender: When you leap to defend your love or rival in battle, roll + Danger instead of + Savior to defend them.

Moment of Truth

This is what you do best. You let loose, all the pent up strength and rage and glee, and you break whatever stands in your way. You are a walking demolition crew. What can stand up to you? Nothing. Not buildings. Not structures. Not enemies. Nothing. Of course, now the people who changed you know exactly where to find you...

Team Moves

When you share a triumphant celebration with someone, make them your love or rival immediately to mark potential. If they are already your love or rival, take Influence over them and mark potential.

When you share a vulnerability or weakness with someone, give them Influence and hold 2. Spend that hold to help them as if it were Team in the pool.

Backstory

Who changed you? Colonel Edge has a vision he calls “Ultra Branch” - a new division of the US military dedicated to handling super-powered threats, and deploying super-powered soldiers to achieve military ends. Toward that end he began recruiting young people for experimental treatments developed by Dr. Rush. Some were outright failures: some died, many were left permanently disabled. But a few developed super-powers.

How did you escape from them? It turns out that giving a bunch of young people powers and assuming they will somehow become a disciplined fighting force doesn’t work that well. Some just left, but a few took advantage of their powers to become villains. Maria decided she had to stop them. As a result, the whole program got exposed, and the ethical and legal problems meant Col. Edge was disgraced. But he and Dr. Rush are still out there.

Who, outside the team, tries to take care of you now? My family: mom and dad and little sister Alejandra. And BFF Dee is thrilled I’m back from “the service.”

Why do you try to be a hero? They think Latina means dumb. They think girl means weak. They think quiet means compliant. I’m going to prove them wrong.

Why do you care about the team? They seem like they want to use their powers to do something right.
