'''Real Name:''' Carl "Crusher" Creel

'''Brawn 4 Agility 4 Mind 1'''

'''Powers:'''

Shapeshift 4 [Limitation: Creel can only take on the properties of something he touches.  Some of the points in the stat pool invariably go to provide "powers" based on the new form, at a rate of 2 power points per stat point burned.  For instance, absorbing adamantium might make Creel Brawn 5 Agility 1, with Armor 3, Resistance to Knockback & Cutting attacks, while absorbing water might grant Brawn 3, Agility 3, Ghost-Form: [Limitation: Liquid].  Sample absorptions will be given below Creel's writeup. He can also use this ability to copy other people's superpowers, but he cannot control them very well.  

Special Attack 3 [Variable] Depends on what Creel has touched.  He is also a capable combatant, using his brawling abilities to grant +1 Hit +1DM while not absorbing anything. 4pts

Immunity: Variable: Creel is immune to whatever energy form he takes-- Thus if he turns into fire, he is immune to fire.  2pts.

Healing 5 Creel can even reattach lost limbs by transforming back into human form while holding the stump to his body. 5pts

Ball & Chain: Special Attack 2/Stretching 1 [Linked power, limitation: Stealable gadget] +1Hit, +1DM, reach 3 squares.  Since it absorbs the same properties as Creel, the special attack bonus of the chain stacks with his own new abilities.  3pts. (4 EC)

'''Disadvantages:''' Normal-- Creel normally has a Brawn and Agility of 1.  He gets super strength or agility based on the properties of what he absorbs; Enemy: Thor.  

'''100 Hits/ Soak varies based on form'''

33 Pts (18 Stats, 17 Powers, -2 Disadvantages)Note: there was a lot of license taken with the Shapeshift power, which maybe should be considered more than 4 points as Creel has such a high stat pool to draw from]
