Insight, thanks for the stuff about Feedom City on the first page. Really helping my image. I’ll get some time to go over the character tomorrow.
I like the general ideas that people have had regarding forming a group.
I think the Entrapper could play a roll of team “former” but probably wouldn’t think of himself as a team leader and he would probably see the team as being temporary.

Basically I see him as being in shock. He’s always wanted to be a hero but he “ruined” his chance, or was never going to succeed due a fundamental lack of ability. Now suddenly he has a real set of super powers. So he’ll tell himself that he’s worried the suit won’t come off but really he’s probably afraid that it will, or that it will stop working. So that’s a conflict.
He undervalues his non-power related abilities as well. Not that he thinks poorly of people like Jack Wolf; he just thinks that he’s not like them and never could be. When he notices things he thinks that “anyone would have noticed it”.
Since he’s ‘immune to damage’ he figures that he’s not a burden to the team. He doesn’t really think he’ll be very useful though.
In general he tells himself his motivation is to have some help/protection if someone targets him to try to get at the Trapper while he’s trying to remove the suit. His ulterior motive would be to live out his dream of being a superhero and fitting in with other super heroes (i.e. part of a team, etc).

He’d indirectly contact people as either the Seer or Alex and talk about a temporary team. In my mind the suit muffles/distorts his voice so it’s not completely transparent what he’s doing (but it may be fairly obvious). On the other hand he’s an “unreliable precog” so he can always fall back on “I see a team forming. It’s vague, but I think -you- could be involved.”
Basically Byterynn’s suggestion but would suggest that Entrapper has not yet established himself as being part of the mainstream superhero community. He’s “just a new hero”.
He explains the ‘seer’ images that float around his head (if anyone notices or cares) as “psychic tips from a friend; most of it’s not very important really”.
Re: Relationship with Century Girl. He would probably have given her a piece of Centurian memorabilia as a “failed superhero admirer of your father”. He loves talking about superhero stuff so if there was something he could tell her he would generally love that (and be much less shy than he would normally be).
After becoming the Entrapper he might email her (as the ex-Seer) and mention that he heard about Captain Thunder’s advice* and also that a “temporary team” is forming. He’d probably pitch it as more of a formality “The Captain respected Centurian a lot, he probably doesn’t want to be seen giving you a free ride**” “a young group benefits from having a heavy hitter around in case one of the tougher villains shows up; a young group can get wiped out otherwise”
* = Well informed gets that kind of info?
**=Unless that’s totally out of character
Re: Relationship with Bastion. He would also be (in principal) very keen to have Bastion take a look at the suit and see if they can figure out what’s going on with it. He won’t volunteer the information that it doesn’t come off.
