Weakspot

Weakspot is one of the lesser-known Chinatown Metas, with the power to find weak points in many things.

Description
Weakspot's costume (in simple black, like other Chinatown metas) is more obviously armour than most, including a full face mask. There's a built-in shield on the right arm, the better to deflect attacks, and the Anything Gun is holstered at his right hip.

In civvies he has the nerdy look of someone who cares little for his appearance, though he's in good shape.

In either identity he has a disconcerting habit of staring at people or things too long and too hard.

(He was erroneously reported as being a woman in her 50s. This was presumably disinformation to conceal his identity. He did once have a handler of that description.)

Background
Weakspot was initially believe to be autistic as a child, but tests showed he had a much more interesting mental condition. He grew up in government facilities with scientists, administrators and eventually meta-soldiers and government high-ups substituting for parents - not that he seemed to mind. He served on government think tanks as well as as a meta-soldier. He went with the other metas in the evacuation, as he was told.

Powers
Weakspot has the power to find weaknesses in anything, from a chunk of rock to a superpower to a political campaign. (The power is psionic, but he's reliant on his normal senses, particularly sight, to use it.) Oddly, he doesn't seem to *know* much many subjects: he doesn't retain much information, except probably subconsciously. This may be a disability, or perhaps it's simply a matter of cognitive style: he find it easier to work things out than recall them. But for all that his insight in many fields is staggering.

The Anything Gun is a weapon of a deceased Chinese hero named the Electric Mage. He is famous (among magicians) as having found a technological way of accessing magical effects; though neither scientists nor magicians ever grasped much of his work. The gun has a gem of mystic properties at its core, which the gun (which is covered in controls) can access to create a vast number of effects. It was given to Weakspot by the government as an award for service, and because he could use it best.

Weakspot was trained in martial arts and some related skills so he could act in the field.

Personality
Weakspot just thinks very differently from most people; relating to him takes effort. To him, the world is just a collection of puzzles to be solved. You find the weakness, you exploit it. He has no real ambition, so long as he has food and shelter and puzzles to solve. He service as a meta-soldier and on the think tank were just assignments given to him: he has no more or less personal involvement than in any other puzzle. He's often called a human computer.

It might be said he is totally inept socially, except that if he wants something, he can usually find the buttons to push to get it! Of course, usually this is at the request of others.

He's probably at his most "human" when playing games: then other people are on his ground. Of course, combat is a game, in this sense.

Relations
Weakspot cannot really be said to have had any friends, ever. The closest thing he has is handlers and people who bring him interesting puzzles. At the moment Tim Lee provides his puzzles and various Chinatown Metas serve as his handlers.

History
Weakspot escaped to Colonial Bay from the Siege of Beijing with the other Chinatown Metas. He has been seen observing some heroes in Past Times and in a fight, and was traced back to one of Tim Lee's safehouses.
