No problem, I've edited the post above to reflect your change. Note that I've streamlined your traits, as you listed four things rather than three.

Host a tryout with a conditional of team cohesion.

Correct me if I’m wrong on this interpretation, but:

As long as I’m on a moving object (size limit uncertain), I can control how fast it accelerates and what directions it’s moving, but can’t generate more speed out of thin air, it needs to be powered or affected by gravity.

Yeah that's right, I made your description excessively technical, but that's the gist of it. So you'd also be pretty good on a surfboard, rollerskates, unicycle, snow sled etc.

[Egan_BW]

Or you could land a plane with both wings sheared off. :p

[VermilionSkies]

I can’t make a car fly directly, but I can make it accelerate to absurd speeds very quickly and then direct all of it upwards, before doing the same with gravity. Alternatively, I could reduce the acceleration of something affected by gravity in order to make it float for far longer than usual. Very interesting power.

_{especially when I use it to throw the Earth out of orbit by redirecting it’s velocity.}

[Glass]

Please don't do that last one. We need to live here.

[Stirk]

In his "Hideout", Luke rolls a dice. They say Napoleon would rather have lucky generals than a good one, and this is the best way to pick the luckiest recruit.

Of course whichever recruit he'd pick would be the luckiest. Who wouldn't want to join the House?

"PB & J huh? Guess its like recruiting a one man army if he can get his power figured out."

He puts a number into his cellphone and makes a call.

Recruit PB&J (and their limited clones)

Alter-ego/backstory: Sol was born of seemingly normal parents who were secretly manipulated by the E. Corporation, a certain corporate group expert in the field of genetics studying SHE - Spontaneous Human Evolution.

Eventually they managed to flee with the help of a retired hero who suffered a crippling injury during the escape, putting an end to his career. Afterward Sol lived a normal life filled with love and care, which shaped Sol into the one it is now. Feeling destined to help humanity, Sol created its hero team with the help of its mentor and savior: the manager of the Starlight, a small relaxing cafe in a small of Silver Row.

Although Sol has just begun, they are well-known due to the caritative actions they undertook when they were a rookie, which garnered quite the mediatic attention due to Sol's exceptional beauty.

Tryouts for Team Cohesion

[Nakéen]

The old manager of the Starlight, hair grayed by time, pushed a file next to Sol's cup of black tea.

"This is Iron Gavel, who you may have heard of. An enforcer with a deep rooted hate for villains, who made quite a name for himself recently. Although he got a lot of connections, his brutal ways have prevented him so far from joining a team. I helped him back when he was a rookie, I can get you in touch with him. Although risky, he could be a great asset for your team. You lack a powerhouse, you won't go far if you rely too much on your emotional power. You can consider it your first test as a team leader."

Sol studied the file of Iron Gavel, who was in every way the opposite of the delicate and kind Sol. Brutish and unforgiving, it would be hard for anyone to imagine Sol teaming up with Iron Gavel. But Sol was trusting, and didn't care much about appearances. What was important was what was inside.

With a smile, Sol nodded to the manager.

"Thank you teacher for your advice. I will arrange a meeting with him, I'm sure there must be more than meet the eye."

With soft and refined movements, Sol tapped a message on their phone with Iron Gavel as a recipient.

Sol Heart attempts to recruit Iron Gavel.

I should have said this before, but please do post your updated sheets (with your full team) when you make an action.


MISSION PHASE

For each of the following missions choose who (if anyone) you intend to send to each one. You can split up your heroes or go as a full team or any combination. Heroes can't attend multiple missions in a phase, so you won't be able to do everything. Remember, you will arrive quicker to places closer to your base. Different teams may arrive at the same mission... to varying outcomes.

#1 Cats Up A Tree
Every loose cat in the Montgomery neighbourhood has been put up a single tree. Someone needs to rescue these cats!

#2 The Mayor’s Fundraising Party
The Mayor’s party in Oldtown is a likely target for supervillains. Well-behaved heroes may attend, mingling in with the donors.

#3 Ruckus at an E. Corporation Lab
Someone’s smashed their way into this gene lab in Atom Heights, and is making a lot of mess.

#4 It’s Mangling Time
The Mangler has broken out of prison and is wreaking a trail of destruction across Downtown.

#5 Silver Ring Sting
Most of the jewellery stores in Silver Row have been robbed in a smash and grab over the last few days: this is a sting operation on an as-yet untouched store.

#6 Fight In Underground Superpowered Fighting Ring
Big wagers are placed on super fights in the basement of the Hellion Casino, in Dusk Beach. Winner takes home a huge bounty.

#7 Break Up Superpowered Fighting Ring
Rumour has it that there's a fight ring in Dusk Beach. The authorities take a dim view on the illegal gambling and dangerous fights.

Silver Row: the famed shopping and culture hub
Atomic Heights: An area with a concentration of scientific and technological companies
