* PerceptionFilter: Zachary's most regularly used power makes everything he does an UnusuallyUninterestingSight, causing people to severely underestimate him even though they know he can do things like throw a van over 1,500 miles to snipe the Slaughterhouse Nine and literally punched Assault into another state. He is capable of setting it anywhere from "Nothing remotely unusual" to "Absolutely terrifying", or even both at once. Zachary describes one usage against PRT troopers as making himself seem "Too dangerous to arrest but also to nonthreatening to bother with."
