Description: Cordelia is the young niece of "Sewer" Jack Robinson. She is tall and slim, standing 5'7" and weighing 115 lbs. She has black hair, dark eyes, and a pronounced Cajun accent. Her ace power is the ability to stop her target's respiratory and cardiac systems, causing an almost instant (and painful) death. She can also use her power to revive someone who is suffering from shock or similar effects, but she cannot heal actual wounds.
Campaign Use and Designer’s Notes: Cordelia is typical of many Wild Cards characters who have a single power, but a potent one. In addition, her power ends up being very expensive in HERO, totaling 300 Active Points. It could been even more expensive, since (IIRC) she only has to see someone to affect them, meaning the power might have Line of Sight and Area of Effect: Hex (Accurate). But do you really want that in your game? Fortunately, Cordelia’s Psychological Limitations mean she won’t use her power willy-nilly, and thus won’t leave a trail of corpses where ever she goes.
