Description: The Howler is a large, powerfully built man, 6'1" and 180 lbs. He has short brown hair, brown eyes and a strong chin. His neck is very thick due to his mutated throat. When acting as the Howler, he dresses in a distinctive yellow costume with kevlar reinforcement. His sonic powers allow him to shatter just about anything. He can also create a "wall" of sound, capable of knocking down buildings.

Campaign Use and Designer’s Notes: Here he is, the “other” Howler. Another low-end superhero, at 247 he’s 3 short of the old 4th Edition 250-point starting total for a superhero. I’d give him the Power Skill (sonic powers), some more Skills (and Contacts) relating to being a superhero, and some more CON.
