CROWNWELL

Origin

Harry started with one food truck. When a fire destroyed the market where his neighbours worked, he gave away his truck's whole stock and helped every stall rebuild. That night, the market's lights came back on in emerald and gold, and so did his power to build.

Powers

• Empire Build: creates emerald-glass scaffolding, ladders and bridges in seconds
• Deal Sight: sees the win-win in any argument, so both sides get what they need
• Mentor Boost: temporarily gives others his own skills and confidence

Weakness

Shortcuts and debt: anything he builds on borrowed power he can't repay crumbles.

Sidekick

Ledger, an emerald-green lion cub in a gold bow tie who keeps careful notes.

Villain

Mr. Ponzworth, who sells golden pyramids that collapse on everyone who buys in.

Costume

an emerald fitted hero suit cut like a sharp three-piece suit, gold trim and buttons, ivory panels, an emerald pocket square, gold flat dress boots.
