Equipment for Iconic Characters and William Headley's Powerstone-enchanting potential

I don't think the "iconic" characters were designed with this level of scrutiny in mind, but...

The iconic characters are presumably used in the following way: ISWAT assigns them needed equipment, but for anything else they have to rely on their own cash. (Otherwise why give them Wealth levels?) ISWAT is not listed as a Patron, probably because they can't help when things get bad, but it also means the iconic characters can't ask them for favors or special equipment. The cost of living rules probably aren't in use, since they all have different Wealth levels but do the same job. We don't know the Wealth level of the job or the pay, so the best we can do is guess how much each character should have.

C-31's weapon pods don't have the Limited Use limitation, so the ammunition is infinite. This leads him in a cinematic direction.

It's up to the player to decide whether the characters have equipment individual to themselves, since ISWAT probably doesn't supply them. If ISWAT does supply them, then taking any level of Wealth other than Average is either wasted points or free points. Since these are pregenerated characters without a set number of character points for each team member, it's simple enough for the GM to just delete the Wealth traits from each character, adjust point totals, and give each character whatever seems appropriate.
