Profile

Jake "Bobo" Benetti had been a down-on-his-luck tough guy when he stumbled on superpowers. He used them to rob banks, mostly, until he got caught back in the 90s. Freshly released after a long sentence, Bobo surprises himself by cleaning up his act, taking a job as a security consultant and working as a bounty hunter. Some of these kids today just need a good kick in the teeth.

Sheet

Description

Click to expand.
Jake "Bobo" Benetti's a pretty serious specimen, standing at about 6'5" and built like the proverbial brick house. His hair's gone mostly silver, with a few patches of pepper left in the salt, close-cropped on the sides with a bit of length on top. He has broad, strong features, a defined jawline and a Roman nose betraying his Italian heritage. He tends to wear sunglasses, but has storm-blue eyes. He smokes cigarettes, a lot of them, and doesn't really care to be lectured about it.
Bobo dresses pretty simply, with a suit jacket, white shirt and a thin black tie, reminiscent of the outfits worn by the thieves in the film 'Reservoir Dogs'. Bobo likes to joke that he's the original Mister White. At least, people think he's joking. He has large hands with rough knuckles and walks with a relaxed and easy gait. He tends to keep his shoulders straight and isn't much for talking.

History

Click to expand.
Jake "Bobo" Benetti grew up in the Gotham slums. He's got a sob story, sure, but so did plenty of other kids in his neighborhood. Bobo survived because he was big and strong and smarter than most of the rest. He dropped out of high school and, after doing half a tour in the Marines before getting turfed for insubordination, he ended up working odd jobs in the late eighties when an industrial accident imbued him with superhuman strength and toughness.

Some people get powers and become crimefighters. Others become criminals. Bobo liked money and didn't mind hurting people, so he took up a life of crime. He went on a five year solid spree of bank robberies and heists, using his strength and his knack for planning to get away with it. Eventually, though, the law caught up and he ended up in prison for a twenty year stint in Blackgate, maximum security.

In prison, Bobo began to rethink his life. He didn't have a lot of regrets, but he thought maybe, just maybe, things didn't have to be this way. After a few rough years early on, he settled down and became a model prisoner, educating himself and finding a new lease on life. On his release, he thought for a while about resuming his old life, feeling lost out in society. Instead, he found himself foiling a bank robbery and the bank offered him a job as a consultant to stop future robberies. He made it into a business. And he still gets the joy of kicking the crap out of people now and then.

Personality

Click to expand.
On the surface, Bobo can be pretty intimidating. He doesn't talk much, he doesn't smile easily and he isn't exactly the friendliest guy. He's used to keeping people at arm's length and letting them know that he has a fist at the end of that arm. Underneath, however, he's actually a fairly laid back and humble man. He really has reconsidered his life and wants to try to be decent, even if he isn't always sure how. He's got his demons, but he's definitely on the side of the angels now. Even if he has some dirty wings.

Abilities

STRENGTH
Jake Benetti possesses a significant level of superhuman strength. He can lift/press around 40 tons. He can shatter brick with a punch, rip off vault doors or tear a car to pieces with his bare hands. While he's not in the top-tier of superhuman bricks, he's certainly a hell of a lot stronger than your average Joe Gotham.

TOUGH
Bobo's body is hyperdense and resistant to injury. He's bulletproof, needles break on his skin and he can withstand significant impacts or falls without taking damage. His invulnerability is equivalent to his superhuman strength, enabling him to absorb up to about 40 tons of impact damage before he starts hurting. If his toughness is exceeded, he'll usually start manifesting internal injuries first.

Skills

BRAWLER
Jake Benetti grew up on the hard streets. He's been fighting and scrapping since he was in kindergarten. While he's done a bit of boxing training here and there in the joint, mostly he just knows how to throw hands and hurt a guy. With his power, he doesn't always need a lot of technique to do a lot of damage. He fights dirty, always, and is particularly fond of dishing out headbutts with his impossibly hard head.

INTIMIDATION
Bobo spent twenty years in one of the nastiest prisons in the country. Admittedly, he had an advantage given his strength and resistance to injury, But he still knows how to use attitude and presence to threaten and intimidate others, how to get his way and how to make sure others know he isn't prey. He's good at putting the fear of God into a scumbag.

STREETWISE
Bobo's been on the shadier side of the law for most of his life, barring recent history. Even in the joint, he's stayed plugged in a bit. He knows who the major players are. He knows the bad neighborhoods and the secret dives and the backdoor places where thugs and mugs hang out. He can blend easily into such sketchy environments and is a known quantity to most.

THIEF
Bobo's an experienced thief. He knows how to hot wire cars and break into houses. He can put together a robbery team and, in general, pull off a pretty good heist. Of course, now he uses that expertise to counteract crooks. As a result, he's skilled at dissecting a crime post-mortem, figuring out the strategy and recognizing methods and tricks that criminals use.

Resources

UNDERWORLD
Bobo has connections and ties to the criminal underbelly, both from his time in the joint and from his time out in the world when he was still pulling jobs. He's a bit old-school, but he has respect and reputation, still, even if there are rumors about him going on the straight and narrow. He can still get an audience in some of the dark halls of power, although he won't kiss anybody's ring.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.
EX-CON
Bobo's a convicted bank robber and spent a full twenty year stint in Blackgate Prison. He's not an innocent by any stretch of the imagination. His record means he needs to be careful of the law and not get in trouble with the cops. It also means that hero types might be a bit distrustful of his intentions.

LOST
Bobo recognizes he screwed up his own life. He has dark periods and bouts of ennui. He isn't exactly cheerful. He definitely suffers from degree of depression and feels lost and out of time after twenty years in prison. He's still adjusting to the 21st century and is only barely able to use a cellphone and doesn't know crap about computers. Physically powerful as he still is, he's gotten older and he feels it.

SMOKER
Bobo's a pretty heavy smoker. He doesn't have cancer or anything, but he's not exactly built for endurance. He gets winded if he has to run too much or fight for too long.

VULNERABILITIES
Bobo's incredibly resistant to physical damage, but he's not entirely invulnerable. Impacts that exceed his own super strength will still do damage. He needs to breathe and eat and he fatigues like a normal person. He can be poisoned or harmed by radiation and he has no psychic protection whatsoever.
