The Mighty Bullfrog, Amphibian Muscle

The Mighty Bullfrog

Created by a botched military project that was attempting use retroviral enhancement to create super-soldiers, Bullfrog had his memories and morals thoroughly scrambled in process, as well as being turned into a giant green man-frog superfreak.  On the other hand, he also gained inhuman strength, the ability to breathe underwater and swim at incredible speeds, and a knack for leaping incredible distances at great speed and with surprising precision.

When the project was shut down and its backers attempted to make its failures disappear permanently, Bullfrog escaped and found sanctuary and a market for his new talents in the criminal underground.  He's spent the intervening years as a super-powered thug doing piecework for various employers.  His memory is still scrambled, and his past and even his real name (Frank Arnold?  Arnold Frank?) remain a mystery that he spends a great deal of his pay to uncover.

Description: A hulking amphibian hybrid with massively oversized frog-like legs and muscular arms that only look small by comparison.  His hands and feet have retractable webbing between their five digits.  The head is hairless and lacks external ears.  His face is human-like but with a very wide mouth, broad and flattened nose, and extremely wide-set bulging black-and-yellow eyes that resemble a bullfrog's.  Generally wears custom-fitted black swim trunks and an elaborate harness loaded with watertight pouches (which usually just hold his wallet, cell phone, and keys).  In cold weather or when he's attempting to go incognito he wears a tailored overcoat and fedora which do nothing to make him less conspicuous.

Status:  Green Zone Health - d6 / Yellow Zone Health - d8 / Red Zone Health - d10

Abilities:

Bounding Beatdown (A) Attack using Leaping.  Use your Max die.  Either Hinder that target using your Mid die, or Attack another target using your Mid die.

Hop Frog (A) Attack using Leaping.  Use your Max die.  Defend against all Attacks from that target using your Min die until the start of your next turn.

Sudden Leap (R) When a nearby ally would be Attacked, you may become the target of that Attack instead.  You may use this reaction any number of times in a round by taking 1 irreducible damage for each time past the first.

Thick Hide (I) Reduce all damage dealt to you by 2.

Group Fighter (I) +20 Health.  When you take an action that lets you make an Attack, also make an Attack using your Mid die.

Master Mercenary (I) If you have a contract for a specific task, automatically succeed at an Overcome where your payment is at stake.

Tactics

The Mighty Bullfrog is primarily a tough, high-mobility brawler who uses Hop Frog when facing a team or Bounding Beatdown when concentrating on just one or two targets.  His Thick Hide (and scrambled psychic structure) makes him very resistant to harm of all kinds, something he takes advantage of when using Sudden Leap to protect his allies.  With his upgrade and mastery he makes a very reliable henchman and excellent bodyguard.
