Here's another important figure in the New Punverse. Pin-Up Pete the GI Casanova is the Colonel Rick Flag of my setting (with some elements of Steve Trevor and Steve Rogers thrown in).

Background
Inspired by his grandmother, Pat Parker the War Nurse, "Pin-Up" Pete enlisted in the marines right after high school. He traveled the world and worked his way up the ranks. Soon he was known for his his trysts as much as his valor. It's said that he courted beautiful women from Shanghai to St. Louis, which is where his nickname "Pin-Up Pete" originated. He was eventually recruited into special forces, where he was given the codename: GI Casanova. He successfully completed several important missions involving metahuman and paranormal foes, including one that saw him temporarily contract lycanthropy.  Due to his skills, record, and charisma, he was personally recruited by Warden Ashton Barriere to be the field commander for Project Second Chance. Pete has excelled in that position and has at least grudging respect from the super villains of the team. For a while it seemed like Pete was going to settle down with teammate, Dara of the Vikings, but with her departure from the team to join the Guardians of Terra, it's only a matter of time until he returns to his romancing ways.

  1. I love seeing the Punverse continue to take shape! And sorry if I missed the reason but...why 22 HP for Second Wind? Seems pretty specific to not have some rationale that I missed...!

    1. That's because I misread the fighter's Second Wind ability.
