Lt. Highpockets Complications:
Controversy - Hugh was relieved of duty do to his inexperience after being brought on by Peter McMurphy. He had been helping Fireforce maintain his technology for years before Strikeforce was conceived, but didn't have any official training in law enforcement. In the end, though, it was just an excuse to get a parahuman off of the force during Mahn's administration. Hugh decided to not take it to court, joining Maurice Bodé at his detective agency instead.
Distinctive Features - Hugh has the unique, uncontrolable talent of his size adjusting to be one inch taller than the tallest person in the room. This means that if the tallest person in the room is 7' tall, he will be 7'1; if they are 4' tall, he will be 4'1. If the tallest person in the room is taller than eight feet tall or shorter than three foot six, he will pass out from the pressure on his body.
Responsibility - In spite of the fact that he was relieved of duty from Strikeforce, Hugh is still driven to uphold the law and help others.

Hugh Armstrong was created and designed by Jim Caswell. He is an NPC.
