Determination2 (+2)Challenge Social: Notorious curmudgeon, Enemy: The Black Rose

Height: 170 cm
Weight: 60 kg
Age: 64 (October 2, 1946)
Hair: white

Origin: Samuel Saxon has been a costumed adventurer since 1959, when he fought crime as a kid sidekick. In 1965, he took the costumed ID Peerless because false modesty is wrong. With no powers he is aware of, he's made his way on a pure heart, determination and skill; at his physical peak, he was very nearly as good as he thinks he is. Now age is catching up with him but he's determined to stay in the game, proving that one exceptional human can keep up with all the freaks, monsters and kids calling themselves superheroes these day. And they're not even grateful!

He has one power and he has no idea he has it: he's impossibly lucky. Superhuman luck has kept him well-preserved (although his physical stats used to be higher), rich enough not to have to work, and allows him to get a success rate to inflate an already healthy ego.

Josephine, who is almost not the original, popped up in the 1950s and is still around; she's his Catwoman (jewel thief Catwoman, not the later versions) with a touch of Kodachi Kuno. Doesn't kill. Usually avoids jail time. She's aging a lot better than he is, so maybe she's not lying about the elixir of immortality.
