The Avenging Guy
Possessing no powers of his own, the Avenging Guy nevertheless throws himself headfirst into the battle for Chicago, determined to “avenge” Earth against the destruction caused by the Alphas. Though often underestimated, his persistence and unpredictability make him impossible to ignore. In the TCG, the Avenging Guy uses Distract abilities to disrupt opponents, redirect attention, and throw enemy play patterns into turmoil.
