It's not the power itself that's bad, it's the level at which it currently operates. A '1' is about as suck as you can get, and I realize I'll have to "power it up". That's not my gripe, now that I've had time to think about it.Here are the Bonus powers that are available, so if you want to swap TK, blinding, or Enhanced Senses out for a better power...
The only reason I chose an Alien Pilot was because his powers suggest someone who's physically awesome but has no "super" superpowers. Where WD went Martial Arts, I went Guns (and arguably mecha/power armor/spaceship/helicopter Pilot).
Also, regarding advantages/disadvantages:
Can "multi-millionaire" or "hella rich" be one? I have a concept that my guy sold his alien technology to the Right/Wrong people and made a mint. Basically, I see my guy as a deserter, running/fleeing a war, and taking full advantage of being far, far away from home and making a damn comfortable life for himself.
As a disadvantage, now that he's a deserter, the occasional bounty hunter with too much time will find his way to Earth and cause havoc trying to drag him back. I can expect multiple guest "villains" and good guys out of this possibility.
