Complications:
Evil Monster - Bernie sees himself as a monster, both because of what Elaine turned him into and because of the self-loathing he feels because of what happened to her. As such, he does villainous things because he feels that's what's expected of him.
Vulnerability - Hornet takes +5 extra damage from heat and fire-based attacks.
Bug on the Run - As a giant bug man criminal, he was unable to access the Mason family's wealth (thus the loss of the Wealth 4), and keeping up with current events was much harder, so he was no longer Well Infomed.
Relationships - Bernie is in love with his partner, Evette Wayne.

Hornet was created and designed by Neil Lindgren. He is an NPC.

Go to Bernie as Hornet Man's sidekick, an adult superhero and as he is today.
