That lone-wolf characters make no sense in MH is a very fair point, however there are lone-wolves who simply have a fun shtick that I'd like to reduce to a party member character. Being nimble, prepared and using exotic weapons is definitely that.
Sounds very much like a Ninja, perhaps there is some inspiration there? (I don't own DF12 so I can't be more specific).

IMO, there's only so much you can do with Luck, Serendipity, etc. to avoid being smashed by fugitive-hunting alien ultra-robots, ripped apart by gene-engineered pack-hunting cold-blooded bio-weapons, or destroyed by the focused psychic force beams of a sentient energy pattern-crystal structure.
Ah, but you use Superman as bait.

Move!

Is this described somewhere? I cannot find it in BS or MA. Am happy to wing it, but if it has be defined, would like to go with that.

These being that he's adept at moving through night and difficult terrain, that he's fighty but has to rely on suprise and gadgetry and that he tends towards being 'well rounded'.
Actually sounds a little more like Leon the Professional using more in the way of gadgets because they're needed against monsters. He's a textbook case of the Ghostly Movement version of Warp from GURPS Horror, which I might give such a character instead of Move!, actually.

Come to think of it, Ken Hite really made Batman more workable with that writeup, too... that's the exact trick he uses to cheese Gordon off, isn't it?
