===Setback===
Pete Riske was a frequently-fired blackjack dealer with a chipper outlook and terrible luck, who signed up for a series of medical experiments by some guy named Baron Blade. The tests did... nasty things to the other subjects, but made him really buff... even as they turned his awful luck into ''really swingy'' luck. "Escaping" from the facility because the front door was coincidentally unlocked one night, he found that, while disaster followed him everywhere he went, the occasional gem of bizarre good fortune did too, as when Bunker suddenly fell out of the sky to save him from Baron Blade's pursuit. So, by becoming a superhero in his own right, he wanted to make sure ''some'' of that bad luck hit bad people.

Setback is a very risk-reward-centric hero, via his unique mechanic: an Unlucky "pool." His innate power, Risk, adds a point to the pool and causes him to play the top card of his deck. Most of his cards interact with his pool in some way, either adding to it or letting him spend points from it for positive effects. In this way, he can heal, tank, support, and deal damage in either single-target or AoE flavors... but many of his cards ''also'' hinder or hurt himself and his allies, and a few cause him to dramatically self-destruct if the pool is too high. Still, while he will always be one of the most random-factor-dependent heroes in the game, a good Setback player can still elevate him with skillful play and good awareness of the cards on the board.

'''Variant:'''
* ''Dark Watch'': If Expatriette is the brains of the Dark Watch, Setback is the heart. He's really come a long way from the semi-annoying hanger-on to the superhero community to beloved for his upbeat optimism, respected for his unwavering determination, and dating one of the most heavily-armed women in the world. His variant power, Mitigate, drains a point from his pool and reduces the next damage that would hit one of his friends by two. While, as its name would imply, this power is always potentially useful and much less risky than his other base power, it also leaves him without his primary means of refilling his pool and can potentially mean an ally will soak the wrong hit.
