History Characters / AChampionInEarthBet

* BerserkButton: As Kaiser in a WhatIf scenario finds out, don't be a Nazi on the same planet as him, or he will beat up your entire parahuman contingent [[OneManArmy single-handedly]], cut your armor to pieces and leave you begging for mercy. On camera.

* ArchEnemy: Has one in the {{Mutant}} SuperSupremacist Neo.

* ArchEnemy: His main nemesis is the FauxAffablyEvil GentlemanThief Baron Midnight.
* BigDamnHeroes: He once rescued the Global Champions from [[LegionOfDoom Global Might]], countering the SuperSoldier Blitzkrieg's SuperSpeed with his own. That act was what put him in the running to be inducted into the Champions' ranks.

* RecursiveFanfiction: Stars in a reader written What If Omake, showing his confrontation with [[spoiler: and forcible recruitment of]] Coil

* SuperPrototype: The Techno-Paladin armor was this, since it was supposed to be a prototype for mass-producible power armor to allow ordinary SWAT teams to defeat supervillains. This is why Lewis considers the Techno-Paladin armor to be his biggest ''[[CreatorBacklash failure]]'', as although it made him one of the top superheroes in the world its Invulnerability Field required years of personalized calibration to his nervous system. Mass production is impossible.

* {{Expy}}: As an elfin magical hero dedicated the freedom and adventure, with a distinct swashbuckling style, he has many similarities with the Azatas of Pathfinder.

* JerkassHasAPoint: He is not a particularly diplomatic man. But his assessment of how South America in general and Brazil in specific have been screwed for decades by United States Realpolitik - [[DisasterDominoes and how this, in turn, left them vulnerable to the Parahuman crisis]] - is entirely correct.

* SuperIntelligence: His Thinker powers have effectively made his thought processes instantaneous. If the only thing keeping him from figuring out a problem or noticing something is time to think or observe, he comes up with the answer or notices his target in the very next instant. Then again, it doesn't work if he's ''not'' smart or observant enough to work it out.

* BoomerangBigot: Believes that all parahumans are abominations that must be killed on sight. But obviously he's not a parahuman, he's been given God's gift...

* FailureGambit: Skylance tries to enact one when the Guild comes for her head, planning to surrender herself for the good of her people, make herself a martyr, and get enough public support to pressure the government to release her. Unfortunately, Fuji-Sama crashes the party and short-circuits that narrative by calling her a coward.

* LittleMissBadass: How she started out, triggering as a 7-year-old girl when she [[TakingTheBullet took bullets]] meant for her mother and transferred them back to the shooter. Her tenure with the Protectorate is filled with A and S-class encounters, including Endbringers and the Slaughterhouse Nine, and one of her go-to tactics is ''stabbing herself'' to transfer injuries to her targets. [[spoiler: She's also the one to kill Shatterbird by transferring the cumulative injuries of several people to the Slaughterhouse member all at once.]]

* SuperPrototype: The Techno-Paladin armor was this, since it was supposed to be a prototype for mass-producible power armor to allow ordinary SWAT teams to defeat supervillains. This is why Lewis considers the Techno-Paladin armor to be his biggest ''[[CreatorBacklash failure]]'', as although it made him one of the top superheroes in the world, between its mega-molecule invulnerability field and its complex neural interface, it was ''impossible'' to mass-produce.

* BerserkButton: As Kaiser in a WhatIf scenario finds out, don't be a Nazi on the same planet as him, or he will beat up your entire parahuman contingent [[OneManArmy single-handedly]], cut your armor to pieces and leave you begging for mercy.

* SuperToughness: La Matraque Bleue, in addition to her own strength and durability, can [[TheMagicTouch reinforce other objects]] with the same toughness, like her [[DropTheHammer warhammer]] weapon.

* MinMaxing: Averted. While other strong Tinkers may be higher in the specialties of their power (versatility, power, or upkeep) she's very strong in ''all'' of them and has no weak points.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Her sonic control is second-to-none, be it amplifying her voice and using it in her concerts, or as sonic attacks.

* DropTheHammer: He marches into battle with a giant hammer that weighs 10 times more than he does, which he can easily wield with his Brute power.

* LesserOfTwoEvils: The Greater Evil in comparison to the Triple Alliance, three warlords in control of the ''rest'' of the Congo, who use her as the worse choice to allying with them. That said, some of the capes under her command thought of her as the better choice compared to the Alliance.

* DeathIsNotPermanent: [[AsLongAsThereIsOneMan As long as there is one sentient being]] with a spark of heroism in their heart the Avatar cannot be permanently killed; he'll be BackFromTheDead in a while. This includes everything from humans to [[spoiler: AIs like Dragon.]] Even many villains qualify, as long as they are not {{CompleteMonster}}s, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre since they contain the potential to choose to be better.]]

* WorldsSmartestMan: Between the power, versatility, and output of her tech, she is the only Tinker 9 in the world, with none having a higher rating. While other strong Tinkers may be higher in their specialties (versatility, power, or upkeep) she's very strong in ''all'' of them.

* WorldsSmartestMan: Between the power, versatility, and output of her tech, she is the only Tinker 9 in the world, with none having a higher rating.

* LoweredRecruitingStandards: By far the most antiheroic of the Global Champions, and [[TheParagon the Avatar]] actually voted against his being inducted. Though ultimately by the time the story begins the Avatar is willing to admit that everyone at the table deserves to be there. [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg ''Even'' Tracer Pulse.]]

* DeathIsNotPermanent: [[AsLongAsThereIsOneMan As long as there is one sentient being]] with a spark of heroism in their heart the Avatar cannot be permanently killed; he'll be BackFromTheDead in a while.

* GodInHumanForm: Is the God of Heroism who took a human form. His physical form is one he made based on what people thought of at the time (strong caucasian male with muscles and a cape) represented heroism. He shows some regret on choosing that form (thinking that it's not very racially inclusive), and thinks that if he could do it again he might choose differently.

* DeathIsNotPermanent: AsLongAsThereIsOneMan alive with a spark of heroism in his blood, the Avatar cannot be permanently killed; he'll be BackFromTheDead in a while.
** It requires for the "one man alive with a spark of heroism" to be within range, though, which is why [[spoiler: the Simurgh starts her fight with the Avatar by moving them both to an uninhabited dimension]].

* RescuedFromTheUnderworld: Present in spirit on several levels. A What-If omake shows him fighting his way into and out of The Birdcage to free [[RuleOfSeven seven]] unjustly imprisoned inmates, with Glaistig Uaine explicitly describing it as a descent into Hell. And then, of course, [[LikeABadassOutOfHell there is his own amnesiac escape from the dungeons of Avalon.]]

* HealingFactor: His mutant control over his own biology has given him one, and it's a very potent one.

* WindsOfDestinyChange: The Avatar can influence the winds of fate and change destiny as he sees fit, and it's the one power he has that cannot be predicted by precognitives. However, his use of it is very restricted.

* ImplacableMan: A What-If Omake shows him slaughtering most of the Slaughterhouse Nine, and assuring Jack Slash that running only means he's going to die tired.

* SuperSpeed: Fast enough to perform {{Bullet Catch}}es and circle the world in minutes.
