Apollo joins the team after Star has badly injured or nearly been killed on ALL previous missions. They are both agile, high speed flying blasters with blinding secondary attacks. Each one brings a sort of special energy control trick - Star has programable shots, and Apollo can make sollid light objects (guitar).
I'm not saying it's true.

Ah, thank you very much. 
Allright, I've updated my personal copy to account for the change in radio sense from what I originally had it as, as well as the lvl up. I have 1 point leftover, I was thinking of spending it on a feature or some skills, but maybe I'll just leave it for now until our next downtime..
Anyways, here's the 'current' version to make sure the DM's good with it before I edit the Rogue's Gallery (Which should probably be done before we get into a situation where stats matter...)

The 28 year old Jack Carson is near the peak of human perfection.. Strong, fast, healthy, smart, charming. He's a well-known, respected, and admired businessman with contacts everywhere, The vice president of Op-Tec, a company that specializes in fiber-optics and computer technology, specifically with regards to Military contracts. He has been involved in numerous athletic competitions. He's also not entirely Human... Jack Carson is, in his off-time, the mutant super-hero known as Optic.
Optic has been fighting crime in one form or another for over a decade. He's a 2nd generation mutant and super hero, son of Bendy-Girl(Deceased) and a computer technician named William Carson(Retired Businessman, founder of Op-Tec). With his current status and contacts in the company his father built, he was able to gain access to an experimental super-suit of very light-weight material, and a custom-made visor which enhances his allready impressive array of eye powers. For the past several years, he's been splitting his time between helping to run the company alongside his older sister (Claren, no known mutation) and using a combination of his skills, mutant super powers, and enhanced technology to fight terrorists, super-villains, and general all-around bad guys. Recently he has become rather depressed by the apparent abundance of badguys and lack of organization amongst the few super-heroes that are known. There has to be some way of contacting the other Heroes, but he's been unable to do so yet. There's something he isn't just seeing, and for someone who sees as much as Jack, that is the most frustrating thing of them all... This was the mood he was in when he got home from a late night, tossing his visor on the table in front of him, he lay on the couch and absently turned on the TV, willing to let the ambient noise send him off to sleep... But the TV seemed to be mirroring his thoughts, and as he sat up after changing the channel several times, trying to find a station that WASN'T giving him bad news, he received the message. He didn't bother writing down the license plate, his memory had always been good... "photographic" he always liked joking, and he pictured the van in his mind, exactly as he knew it would look. He'd recognize it. And he'd be there. This was exactly what Jack Carson.. no, what OPTIC, was born for.[/sblock]

Great, I better start reading up on the Container power to update Wren... Man, life has been BUSY! Looking for second job, so things might get hectic for a few more days...

Ok, I am now evacuated from Houston after not having electricity, water or phone line, so it's taking me some time to get things together. I kept some files on pen drive, which has my tentative updates. Once I compile a full update to Wren, along with reason's for NOT increasing some powers, while increasing other in his Array, I will post for critique. I am sure that there will be some, but for now, the simply updates would be more Concetration (Skill PL Limit Increase), Better CON (+2 increase with Toughness PL Limit Increase), and then the Device Power increased to allow Array Powers with 42pp for each power.
Strike is changing to Paralyzing Strike 11 (Linked Power, to allow a little flare on his strike)
New AP is Teleport (Since I used it enough to learn to use it effectively enough)
Full info will be included, but questions to clarify:
1 - Are linked power, like Paralyze and Strike an option to use?
2 - Did I get it right, that the PL Limits are limited to two increases, which I chose Toughness and Skills?
3 - Am I able to alter (slightly improve) powers in the array that now have more pp to allow on each power?
Thanks!

Ring of Cosmic Channeling-
This is his lone item from his home-world. It is a testament to his race’s abilities to harness Cosmic Energy and channel it through a medium. Finding that rings are easier to handle, it was decided that all others of his race would have identical rings to identify themselves to each other. Each of these rings is imbued with an array of powers that are at the users disposal, although they are independent of each other. Only one power can be effectively used each time the ring is used. Guardian's ring is tuned to his own life, and will not work for anyone else, and can not be used against himself.

Drawbacks------------[sblock=drawbacks and Totals]
Ring of Cosmic Channeling requires a daily recharge from him. This can be anytime the ring is out of energy, usually lasting 23 hours at a time. After 23 hours of no recharging, the ring’s powers are lost. Recharging the ring is a meditative focus, where he has to have the following circumstances; the ring, a cosmic focus (single star, the moon, or the sun), and one hour of meditation. Meditation is a relative term, up to the GM’s discretion. Upon completion, the ring is recharged for another 23 hours of powers.

Ok, in a nutshelld, here goes the reasons for power changes, AP by AP...
1 - Cosmic Energy Control Blast Array Power ONLY increased the Penetration by 1, to total of Partial Penetrating 4, leaving 3pp left on that power. When the Power Cap is increased on Wren, I will then disperse those last 3pp to increase the Power to Blast 12, appropriately leveling him.
2 -Deflect increased 1 Power Rank, increased range, and Block +10. Improves his defending, but not an ability he uses a lot.
3 - Biggest Change, Paralyzing Strike. Increased original Strike 11 to include a Paralyzing Linked power. Meets all requirements of linked power, with range, duration, action, power level, by adding a flaw in the linked effect requiring SIGHT from foe to work. Think of it as Cosmic Strike, with energized surge of cosmic energy that blinds the foe with paralyzing effect. I also added +1 to Partial Penetrating to result in Partial Penetrating 4. Question is, the Power Feats were originally designed for the Strike Power, but would I be able to move some over to be power feats for the Paraylzing Power instead? Such as Knockback5? My thinking was that the attack would possibly hit. Targets have 2 saves. Strike Save and Paralyzing Save. They fail the strike, they take the dmg. They fail the Paralyzing save, they are then subject to the Knockback from the power and the paralyze. Or am I totally messing things up by using Power Feats on this?
5 - Create Objects changes to rank 9, nothing big.
6 - Teleport Power added, only rank 6, and allows a few special power feats that he's going to need with the group. Area, selective, Affects Others, and Accurate coupled with Change Velocity, Turnabout, Easy, and Progressions allows easy extraction ability to not too far locations.
So, I await the critique... which I am sure I messed some things up. Hopefully not alot...

Drawbacks------------[sblock=drawbacks and Totals]
Ring of Cosmic Channeling requires a daily recharge from him. This can be anytime the ring is out of energy, usually lasting 23 hours at a time. After 23 hours of no recharging, the ring’s powers are lost. Recharging the ring is a meditative focus, where he has to have the following circumstances; the ring, a cosmic focus (single star, the moon, or the sun), and one hour of meditation. Meditation is a relative term, up to the GM’s discretion. Upon completion, the ring is recharged for another 23 hours of powers.

Ok, in a nutshelld, here goes the reasons for power changes, AP by AP...
1 - Cosmic Energy Control Blast Array Power ONLY increased the Penetration by 1, to total of Partial Penetrating 4, leaving 3pp left on that power. When the Power Cap is increased on Wren, I will then disperse those last 3pp to increase the Power to Blast 12, appropriately leveling him.
2 -Deflect increased 1 Power Rank, increased range, and Block +10. Improves his defending, but not an ability he uses a lot.
3 - Biggest Change, Paralyzing Strike. Increased original Strike 11 to include a Paralyzing Linked power. Meets all requirements of linked power, with range, duration, action, power level, by adding a flaw in the linked effect requiring SIGHT from foe to work. Think of it as Cosmic Strike, with energized surge of cosmic energy that blinds the foe with paralyzing effect. I also added +1 to Partial Penetrating to result in Partial Penetrating 4. Question is, the Power Feats were originally designed for the Strike Power, but would I be able to move some over to be power feats for the Paraylzing Power instead? Such as Knockback5? My thinking was that the attack would possibly hit. Targets have 2 saves. Strike Save and Paralyzing Save. They fail the strike, they take the dmg. They fail the Paralyzing save, they are then subject to the Knockback from the power and the paralyze. Or am I totally messing things up by using Power Feats on this?
5 - Create Objects changes to rank 9, nothing big.
6 - Teleport Power added, only rank 6, and allows a few special power feats that he's going to need with the group. Area, selective, Affects Others, and Accurate coupled with Change Velocity, Turnabout, Easy, and Progressions allows easy extraction ability to not too far locations.
So, I await the critique... which I am sure I messed some things up. Hopefully not alot...
