How about a multiple choice question?
Your choice: Jarrod from The Pretender (too obscure?) or Grissom from CSI.

Oh man I used to love the pretender... That was a good show. Does the system matter? Because I don't know d6 if I did something with d20 is that acceptable?

It was a network (NBC?) series created in the mid-late 90s. "The Centre" is a think-tank organization that abducted "Jarrod" from his parents because of his brilliant intuitive and deductive abilities. After brainwashing him over the years and training him, refining his skills, they start to use his abilities to solve problems and sell the information to less-that-reputable people, frequently for immoral use. Once he realizes what has been done to him, he breaks out and starts using his abilities to help others. His genius intellect lets him convince other people that he is whoever or whatever he impersonates. "Are you a Doctor?" "I am today." He plays the agent of Justice/Revenge for the little-guy/gal, and uses the Villain of the Week's methods against him/her usually in an ironic way. And incidentally, The Centre has a team of people hunting him down, trying to recapture him for their own further use.
First two seasons are good. Third is OK. Forth gets a little shakey. First movie is still shakey. 2nd movie is awful.
Cross-over episodes with "The Profiler" are incrediblly lame.

I had wondered what had happened to the series. I was intrigued at how the main female intagenist remined me of Emma Peel (Diana Riggs)[SIC?] from the Avengers on BBC's Themes Productions, back in the 1960s. Oh but I date myself. LOL.

Ok, let's try this: Who can give me a build for George Bush Jr?
That should be a challenge.

Nice.

Here's a champions/hero build:
STR: 10(basic human average--cost is free), DEX: 10, Con: 10, Body: 10, INT: 8, Ego: 20 (human maximum--costs 20 points), Presence: 10. All calculated stats end up the same for basic human (reclaim 12 points for lowering mental defense).
Perks: head of state(25pts), Wealth (extreme, 25 points), Well connected (lowers costs of contacts), Contacts: Father/ex president (50pts), Various PACs, Party connections, corporate connections, etc, 50 points).
Skills: firearms (+2--6pts), KS Republican Party (roll less than/equal 15, 6pts)
Total Assests: 170 points
Flaws/defect: Stubborn (20 points), Inneptitude (15 points), Hated: AlQuida (5 points)Reputation: total idiot (extreme unfavorable reaction can result in being pelted by shoes, 25pts), vulnerable to mind control by corporate masters (20 points), 0 will defence vs Special Interest PACs (20 pts), Psych Limitation: texan (10 points), psych limitation: will ignore major disasters caused by nature or own errors of judgment (15 points), monitored: every government institution and agency of every government (25 points), Public ID (10 points), DNPC drunken binging alchoholic daughters (5 points)
thus, George W is a 0-point balanced character.
Your build is a little more fun. Then again, hero is a pretty clunk system is some ways.

Please name our next build challenge?
