Background and Origin: Lexington Cargill is the result of alien experimentation on human beings. He has only vague memories of being kidnapped while driving alone on an old country road. He does remember being found the next morning trapped in his car that had wrapped around a tree. He knew he hadn’t been drinking and it angered him that the sheriff’s deputies should accuse him of such. It angered him so much, he ripped apart his car to escape, then disintegrated one of their cars before they fled in the other.
Because of his perceived attack on the police and his deadly powers, the media branded him an instant criminal and threat to society. Cargill embraced his new life (even if it had been forced on him) and became a supervillain. Cargill aspires to lead a crime ring. He has aligned himself with certain criminal elements in the city acting in the dual capacity as adviser and enforcer. He uses the enforcement aspect to spread fear and he tries to learn everything he can when acting as an adviser. Whether working for someone else, or out on his own, Cargill always makes sure he has three underlings to carry out his personal tasks (use Cheap or Normal Thugs depending on his income level at the time).
Before the abduction, he worked in logistics - packaging and distribution of commercial goods. He was a minor partner in a Portland-based company. In his off hours, he was a talented bowler on the verge of going pro. He was approached by organized crime to use his transportation business as cover to smuggle goods. He was savvy enough to know he was in a bind. If he said “yes,” he was getting in bed with criminals. If he said “no,” then his business and family were likely to have “accidents.” He threw in his lot with the criminals. He isn't sure, but he suspects his car “accident” had been rigged by someone in the organization who was trying to eliminate him, because he had been thinking about turning state evidence. After the issue with the police, he no longer had any choice.
Combat Tactics: He is a methodical fighter, using cover and pick apart his foes.
Personality Traits: He’s a blue collar guy, which only a couple years of part-time college. He works very hard to show how cool and in charge he is. He is a thinker and plotter, working behind the scenes.
Appearance: Cargill is always smartly dressed in expensive suits or tuxedos. He is unimposing at 5’6”, 160 lbs.
Powers: He has superhuman strength, able to lift/press approximately 1.5 tons under optimal conditions. He can generate unknown forms of energy from his eyes, which can easily penetrate steel.
Notes: Mighty Protectors doesn't have quite the same “every power is a defense” mechanic of VnV (Counterblast just isn't the same thing), so I gave him Heightened Defense to represent his VnV tactic of committing an action per turn to defense. I thought about using Shield (which was the Living Legends method), but it didn’t feel right for the MP version.
I'm actually surprised the MP version total CP came out as high as it is, given his overall lack of utility.
