Glad you liked it! John actually does have a superpower, though it's hard to translate to out-of-game terms. He's a Mastermind, which means that he can summon minions to fight for him because he's such a charismatic guy. My John in game has Mercenary henchmen that appear magically out of nowhere when he calls them on his radio. I've named the two first-level ones Stackhouse and Markham, and the second-level one is Ford.

Why yes, I am a big geek!
