POWERS & ABILITIES
(*=Linked)
Power Amplification: Cortez has the mutant ability to amplify the powers of another mutant, increasing the power by the number of RAPs gained in the Power Check. If a mutant's powers are enhanced beyond their normal level, they may go out of control. An Action Check using the character's WILL/WILL as the AV/EV vs. the new AP level of the power as the OV/RV gaining positive RAPs is needed to prevent this from happening, with a further roll allowed every Phase to regain control.
The effects of the amplification are up to the GM. Examples of the effects are: a mutant with telekinesis might randomly attack everyone in the vicinity, a character with an enhanced sense of smell may be overwhelmed by odors, and so on.
Cortez must touch his subject to use his power. This requires a successful Action Check using his DEX/Power Reserve as the AV/EV and the opponents DEX/WILL as the RV/OV. Thus far, he has only affected a single person at a time and the effects have worn off within 3d10 Phases.
ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Cortez is highly skilled at flattery and deception. He is willing to sacrifice anyone and anything (except his life) to further the cause of mutant supremacy. Cortez was instrumental in urging Magneto into a collision course with the world's great powers and the X-Men, events which culminated in the destruction of Asteroid M. He was cunning and ruthless enough to conceive a plan in which Magneto, the other Acolytes, and the X-Men would die at the hands of the United States and Soviet Union. It was Cortez's hope that their deaths would inspire other mutant supremacists to rise up against normal humanity.

Exusiai's Notes: I always liked this guy's power, and how he could enhance a mutant's abilities out of their control. It makes for an interesting use of Power Reserve.
