POWERS:
None.

EQUIPMENT:
Humbug carries a tape recorder and sound amplifiers in his gloves (all Material 4) that project insects noises, causing various effects:

  • Eye-Spotted Budmoth -- hypersonic pitch that causes 6 intensity blunt damage to those in Striking Distance
  • Imbricated Snout Beetle -- magnetically charges all metal objects, causing them to repel each other at 12 intensity
  • Oblique-Banded Leaf Roller -- vibrating hum that causes victims to chortle uncontrollably unless they make an Average (8) Strength action vs. 14 intensity. Failure means heroes cannot act for 3 exchanges. After that, they can try again to resist the effects
  • Wheat-Stem Sawfly -- causes cuts at 8 intensity
  • Salt-Marsh Mosquito -- shrieking attack that shatters everything of Material 1 or less (including glass) in Visual Distance. This also shorts out all electrical equipment in Striking distance with 10 intensity.
  • Saw-Toothed Grain Beetle -- delicate wheezing that melts internal components of electrical equipment with 14 intensity, up to striking distance away
  • Buffalo Tree-Hopper -- 12 intensity Force damage up to Firing Distance
  • Blood-Sucking cone Nose -- this roar can cause all combustibles in Firing Distance to ignite with 14 intensity
NOTE: Humbug may carry other unrecorded insect noises, such as the Cow-Pea Weevil, the Short-Nosed Cattle Louse, and the Plaster Bag-Worm.
