Love the Environmental Suit reuse! Good call.

So, don't know the character that well, does he just burst with energy and attack harder, rather than literally blow up?

[MrNobody]

Pretty sure him touching stuff creates explosions? So Gloves Are Off is quite literally him taking his gloves off to explode stuff by punching it.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I figured it was something like that, considering the need for the suit and all.

[L0B5T3R]

Nobody got it yea, he touches stuff and it explodes. I’m. It fully sure if the Environmental Suit works here myself since I also don’t know the character too well aside from Wikipedia.

Here is what I have for Roy.

KINETIC BLAST
When this Human Bomb attacks an adjacent figure with his normal attack, the defending figure rolls 1 fewer defense die for each skull rolled. To a maximum of 2 fewer defense dice.

EXPLOSIVE CLAP
Range:Special Attack:3
All figures within 3 spaces of Human Bomb are affected by this special attack. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Affected figures roll defense dice separately. This special attack may only be used once per round.

INVOLUNTARY EXPLOSION
Whenever Human Bomb receives two or more wounds from a single attack, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 10 or less, all figures within 2 spaces of Human Bomb receive 3 wounds.

Love it Lobster. Only critiques might be adding an ‘explosive’ effect to Gloves Are Off, like all figures other than HB are affected? That and he might be a bit high on life, as 5 seems appropriate for a Golden Age character.

Incorporating some type of explosive effect would be slick. As for the Life I made it six after seeing “Prolonged Lifespan,” listed as his abilities on Wikipedia.

[Lazy Orang]

Lifespan =/= endurance, though...

[Margloth]

Well, it does on like gods and stuff. Life can mean a lot of things. I think I’d start him with 5 lives and take him up if he needs it. 5 is still “extended” human life.

[Yodaking]

It says he's a human, so what's the backstory on how he received his powers then?

No, gods have superhuman endurance and lifespan....

Yea I suppose Metahuman would be more appropriate:

Dr. Roy Lincoln, was the first Human Bomb to join the Freedom Fighters. In the summer of 1941, Roy Lincoln was working with his father, Professor B. Lincoln to create a new super-explosive for the American war effort. They called the explosive QRX-27. However, they were also being watched by Nazi spies, who attacked their lab, killing Professor Lincoln. In an effort to keep the Nazis from obtaining QRX-27, and certain he was about to die, Roy swallowed the explosive.

He was astonished to learn that the explosive did not kill him, but rather allowed him to explode things simply by touching them. In short, Roy Lincoln had become a human bomb. However, he had to solve the problem of blowing up whatever he touched. He fashioned an containment suit made out of an experimental substance known as "fibro wax", which contained his explosive power.

Also on the topic of prolonged lifespan:

Powers

Explosive Body Chemistry: Lincoln can generate a biochemical explosion with just a touch. If he increases the kinetic force by hitting the object harder, the explosive force is also increased.
Decelerated Aging: The changes to his body chemistry seemed to have prolonged his life.
Superhuman Durability: Human Bomb can withstand low caliber shots.
