Powerhouse

Powerhouse-and many of the other Hunters-were originally villains under the control of an alien mastermind. Later, I decided to reveal that they'd been drugged and brainwashed into it, but they'd done enough bad things that they turned themselves in to an alien government to pay their debt to their society-which consisted of them being put into their special forces. Powerhouse was a nod at being diverse-a Hispanic character who was one of the toughest guys around. When these Hunters were merged with the two original ones, I had to make sure that there was enough different between the two strong-men so as to make them distinct.
