 Magic Lens B.A.D.A.S.S. Communicator				     2
Vanguard's original armour Complications:
Dis-illusioned Patriot - My country, right or... No, not wrong so much.
Sibling Rivalry - While their relationship was the best it's ever been before Dragon left this dimension (Andrew believed Bart to be dead), Bart still feels like his way of doing things is better than his brother's.
Monitor - Bart maintains a relationship with the Parahuman Security Bureau, and they keep tabs on him.
Haunted - After recently working with B.A.D.A.S.S., Vanguard has become distinctly aware that those he has killed in the past still harbour a grudge.
Sense of Humor - Somewhere along the line, Ex-Patriot has gone a bit off his rocker, leaning toward being silly at times rather than constantly being dark and gritty.		 Vanguard's 'Ex-Patriot uniform

Vanguard was created and designed by Ken Hallaron. He was renovated as Ex-Patriot and played by Doug Zeitlin, then re-renovated by Ken Hallaron.
