_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Technological genius Norbert Ebersol (a.k.a. the Fixer) was the first villain to be recruited by Helmut Zemo into a new iteration of the Masters of Evil. Norbert helped Zemo to gather other members of the team, and when Zemo decided that these new Masters would masquerade as superheroes, Norbert put his genius towards creating advanced technology that would disguise the villains' faces and voices, preventing them from being recognized by the public. Norbert also created Songbird's harness based on technology appropriated from Klaw, and assisted Abner Jenkins in creating the MACH-I armor.

Norbert adopted the codename "Techno" and continued to serve as the tech expert for the Masters as they went public with their "heroic" identities, claiming to be a new superhero team known as the Thunderbolts. Norbert was the cockiest and most confident member of the team, and the one who came closest to accidentally exposing the team's true nature.

• add 2 to Techno's Move number and Techno will not take any leaving engagement attacks.
• add 3 to Techno's Range number and Techno can attack non-adjacent figures even if he is engaged.
• after Techno attacks a non-adjacent figure, he may attack one additional time.
• all figures that were engaged with Techno at the start of your turn subtract 1 from their Defense numbers.

RECKLESS ENGAGEMENT
If Techno is not adjacent to any friendly figures and is engaged with at least one enemy figure, add 1 die to his normal attack and subtract 1 die from his defense.

One last design to bring the T-Bolts home - most all the heavy lifting's been done at this point and Techno's just rounding out the original roster.

I like the first two mini pics where you can see his face clearly better than those that follow them. Only the one comic art pic, are you set on that then?

Not dead set on it, but I have been using Declan Shalvey's Thunderbolts character portraits where I can.

I just find the ones with the white background an odd choice for the comic art when I am looking for images. I'm not seeing a ton of options here though after a quick look around.

Doesn't appear anything has changed since I last liked it so...I still like it.

[Lazy Orang]

Tech-Pac looks like fun! My only suggestion would be, if this guy's a Zemo loyalist, perhaps he should have a D20 power to leverage Charlatan Coordination?

[Margloth]

I agree a d20 power seems appropriate here, or maybe simply tweak Tech Pac to require a d20 as opposed to an OM.

Unless I'm mistaken, the OM thing was meant to synergise well with Citizen V's other leadership power...

Yeah, he'd probably need to be put on a different background. He really doesn't have a ton of options, though, as you say. I might flip through the digital issues at some point just to double-check those.

That's how I had Tech-Pac, and then people wanted it this way.

I'm definitely open to a light touch that pushes the two together. I almost feel like, to emphasize his loyalist status the relationship should go the other way, though - Techno should be complementing Zemo and providing something that helps him out, not the other way around.
