Tornado

For a randomly rolled character, Tornado came out looking awfully good. His powers made sense, his talents made sense, and it was sensible to give him the right contacts to match. The idea of a cop as a super hero isn't unique, admittedly, but at that time it sure felt like it was. He was a pretty important part of fiction for Force Supreme I had planned once upon a time, thanks to his police connections. At that time, I also finally came up with an "official" origin; he'd been an altered human, but I'd never gone so far as to figure out just how that happened. I think I eventually came up with the idea that he'd gotten his powers from a genie; I wanted to avoid the "crazy science" explanations you usually see around origin stories.
