Real Name: Gaffer
Alias: Ruby Abernethy
Group Affiliation: MADCAP
Appearance: Out of costume, Ruby Abernethy is a beautiful young Irishwoman with red hair and green eyes. Her smile can light up a room, but in her eyes there’s always a hint of darkness to counteract it.
Personality: Gaffer has a rather childlike personality. She really enjoys using her powers,
destroying things, and making people look useless and stupid in the face of her team's strength. However, she’s not especially vicious; she has more of a childish callousness stemming from self-centeredness and a satisfaction in winning than true ruthlessness or cruelty. She really doesn’t understand much beyond fighting, winning, and her fanatical loyalty to Mojo III.
Since her awakening under Spiral's care, Gaffer has seen broadcasts of people who have fought with far more power and resistance than warranted under the magnificent rule of Mojo III. She’s very puzzled by them, but doesn’t really take any of them or any enemy seriously until they defeat her in single combat. She’s also developed a strong curiosity about the new world her team is in; she may divert from a battle to investigate something new and unusual.
Gaffer has a child’s ambivalence toward romance, and doesn’t understand human sexuality or other “adult” matters. Handsome heroes may receive a few compliments, but she has no compulsion to take a mate... yet.
Powers: Gaffer has one power to cover a broad spectrum of interference by individuals. She is capable of removing superhuman powers she observes by creating a self-perpetuating energy "block" in her victim's system that prevents bio-genetic power from properly traveling from their starting point to the rest of their system. This power block lasts only as long as Gaffer concentrates to maintain it. She can only concentrate on one task at a time, so she can only nullify one person's powers at a time. Her target needs to be within ten feet and in her line of sight.

Disadvantages: Watched by Mojo and Spiral, Psychological Limitation: Curious About The World, Psychological Limitation: Anxious To Please Mojo, Social Limitation: Subject To Orders, Social Limitation: Secret Identity (Ruby Abernethy)
