I've encountered something similar: a character in a TL8 superhero game without High TL as a trait and with only Average Wealth, but with a Secret Patron who provided TL10-11 gear at no monetary cost to the PC. In the player's mind, this gave him carte blanche to basically take everything he could in Ultra-Tech from those TLs that would assist him in being a Batman expy at the start of the game. Made it tough for my gadgeteer/super-archer who had to pay cash when making things (that were not trick arrowheads provided by Consumable Signature Gear) to keep up.
