Background:
Reports have recently surfaced of an unusual "superhero" that does not appear to be a superhero at all. Witnesses report seeing a person, just walking down the street, suddenly run towards a random crime such as a mugging and attack the villains involved. While some suspect that this is no more than just Paragon City citizens becoming fed up with the constant crime in their city, the regularity of these events and the occasional powers that the individual uses have caused the media to dub him "Joe Everyman".
Whoever Joe Everyman is, he is a master of disguise. He is undeniably male, about six feet tall and of average build, but beyond that nothing is known of his appearance. He looks completely different every time he appears, from a balding, middle aged business man, to a young kid in jeans, to a grimy homeless man in ripped clothing. He has even appeared dressed as a member of the Hellions or Skulls, to further confuse his victims. He appears to use this disguise to lull his victims into a false sense of security, sometimes even allowing himself to get mugged so he can turn the tables on his attackers.
Although he does not appear to have any super powers, witnesses do report that he carries a small tool, a flash beacon of some kind, that he uses to stun his victims. This is one reason that he is suspected of being a single individual. He also seems to have an uncanny ability to unnerve and disorient his foes, even to the point where he can get them to fight each other. Even in combat, he seems to be able to distract his foes and throw them off balance, and thus get an advantage despite having no super fighting skills or defenses.
Psychology
It is difficult to put together a psychological profile of Joe Everyman, as he rarely allows himself to be identified or interviewed. Clearly he is a person who is tired of the constant crime in Paragon City, but whether he is a concerned citizen who simply could not take it any more, or a disturbed individual with some deep seated need to risk his life is unknown.
There is even a report that after beating some muggers into submission, the victim, who was assumed to be Joe Everyman, seemed to come out of some sort of trance, and reported no memory of the time in which he was fighting. Whether this is an additional power of this hero, or if he is some sort of force which is "possessing" the citizens of Paragon City is a good question.
Of course, the above could have simply been an act put on by Joe Everyman, which leads to the possibility that Joe himself is somewhat skilled in psychology. He certainly seems to be capable of manipulating others with remarkable ease. It is entirely possible that we at Crey are also being manipulated, and believing that there is more to this "hero" than there actually is.
Recommended Action:
As little is known about this individual, or even if he is an individual, there is little that our agents can do about him but continue to collect data. Until such time as Joe Everyman can be shown to be a threat, we suggest he simply be avoided.
Special Note:It should also be noted what while this hero's base of operations seems to be Champion, he has been seen in other places as well. His level also seems to vary. This hero's ability to be "everywhere at once" may interact with the very fabric of time and space. Or, perhaps he is just a very clever illusionist.
