Today we have V, the infamous vigilante single-handedly returning power to the people of England. I will also throw this in, because I love this movie: 
"The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous."

Known simply as V, this vigilante is a man who was kidnapped, tortured, and violated in a conspiracy that created the new English government. At 20 Power Points, he is one of the only Pulp Heroes we've seen thus far. 

He is a master of hand to hand combat, explosives, technological exploitation (aka hacking), literature, persuasion, and culture, and uses these to great effect to incite anarchy and rebellion. His ultimate feat of combat is killing nearly a dozen men in only a couple rounds of combat, while heavily wounded.

The experimentation that occurred at the Larkhill facility left V tough, strong, and fast; the rest of his abilities simply came through almost two decades of training.

There isn't much more to him! Leave questions, comments, etc below as per the norm.
