[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5527211, member: 2710"] Okay, I think I fixed the problems on Terry. I couldn't get the Move Object thing to work mechanically (with a close range and only one direction, it wound up being ridiculously cheap, so he'd have an effective Str of +8 with the power, which seemed overpowered for what I was going for), so I added a linked Affliction instead: he hits with the closer electrical power, and there's a chance to do extra frying of the nerves, as it were.
