I was working on that concept and trying to come up with a good name for it. "Pressgang" didn't seem right, because that was used to add poor folks to the *navies*, and not to pirate crews.

So I did some research, to figure out how pirate captains actually added crew to their ships. It turned out, the answer was as old as recorded history: they paid them. Sailors wanted to be pirates because it was the best way to make a living on the open seas.

Hence the power name: Hire Crew.

This is similar to a custom I've been working on, it's a Marshal figure with a power called Deputize where you can change any human hero to a Lawman

That would be great for a Clayton Pierce and Dead-eye Dan build.

It wouldn't fit with his backstory. The man was a doctor, a hunter, and (on one occasion, which cost him his life) a vigilante.
