Permaneo (Arthur Hondo)
Background Overview: His parents and him were dimensional travelers in a space/dimension ship that was powered by special particles that existed only in their dimension. The people of their home dimension attempted to create an inter-dimensional alliance to destroy Omega. When Omega discovered the plot, their dimension was attacked by Omega and consumed by the doom coil. They managed to escape to another dimension in their ship. The battle damaged the ship and caused the particles enabling dimension shifting to become a part of Arthur and his family. They also were affected by the particles from the Terminus that cause people there to comprehend and speak all languages as well as appear as the same species and ethnicity as the person looking at them. Over a couple years, they learned to harness the particles to conceal themselves from all but touch with relative ease. With some work, they managed to phase their bodies between dimensions and maintain it if they concentrated hard enough.
The damage to the ship could not be fully repaired and spread over time. In a battle in the Terminus against Omega's forces, their allies ran away causing the ship to take massive damage. They were forced to make an emergency dimension shift at random. All the particles on the ship were released from containment and the ship itself broke apart when they appeared on the outskirts of a UNISON base. Before the ship was sucked into the space between dimensions Arthur's parents gave him their brace they used to defend themselves and told him to run while they did all they could to delay the particles from sucking the ship and everyone in it into limbo. His parents were able to make the particles send the ship and them to some random dimension.
UNISON found Arthur in the field and stopped him from killing himself in grief. For the next year they took care of him and got him back to a normal level of sanity. They made him part of UNICORN because of his vast amount of dimension traveling. He was also trained as an inter-dimensional infiltration agent because of his ability to work with technology and disable traps/surveillance and the like. He used his talents to help out other divisions with infiltrating enemy bases, breaking security, gathering information in enemy bases, etc. He met a woman during one of his missions and fell in love with her. They got married within a year. He realized with her help that he was being used by UNISON, so with her support he decided to become the costumed hero Permaneo and only work with UNISON occasionally. Eventually, he applied for and joined the Freedom League.
His motivations are simple. He wants to be a hero and to one day find his parents in the omniverse. He also wants to protect his family and maybe one day destroy Omega.
For a more detailed back story, I have posted a google doc with his back story. It is rather long. The overview captures the summary of it. docs.google.com/document/edit?id=137We_tBqXwHjvtal-A9tTPQNqLsXIbUpGFYM6s_7tIM&hl=en&authkey=CJ3U_Gc.

Features 1(Appear as same species and ethnicity as onlooker) [1pp]
Comprehend 2(Comprehend and speak all languages) [4pp]
Equipment: Commlink, night vision goggles, multitool, mini-tracer, Laptop
Combat: Base Attack Bonus: +0 (Melee: +10, Brace: +10), Grapple: +4; Brace Blast +10 (DC 25 Toughness), Dimension Strike +10(DC 25 Toughness), Unarmed Attack +1 (DC 16 Toughness), Suffocate +6 (DC 16 Fort); Defense 20 (Flat-footed: 10), Knockback: -5; Initiative: +0

Totals: Abilities 14 + Skills 19 (76 ranks) + Feats 38 + Powers 59 + Combat 0 + Saves 20 = 150
His skills are geared towards infiltration/breaking into of an enemy base, searching their computers, and crafting technology.
Concealment is him creating a aura around himself of the dimension shifting particles. It effectively distorts all waves and signals such as light, heat, sound, scent, etc from leaving his body into the dimension his body is in. I wanted to include things like radio waves, radar, non dimensional special senses etc but not mental senses since his mind is still in the plane somewhat. Mechanically, the atomic think tank boards say total concealment is based on buying enough to get most of the senses and getting the rest for free. So, buying ten ranks gets all the senses which, depending on what group of senses you use Core or UP, is 5 or 6 sense groups not including tactile. Instead of worrying about which sense groups we are using, I just bought ten ranks and added a power loss to mental senses.
Insubstantial is an extremely limited form of the power. Descriptor wise, he is using all of his concentration to phase his body in between dimensions. It takes so much effort he has to use a full round action just to use the power initially. While insubstantial he can't do anything, but move once. Further more, the minimum duration of his insubstantial is 2 rounds. One round to activate it and one round to let it lapse or use a full round action to turn it off.
Strike is him channeling the particles to enhance his physical hits.
Feature and comprehend are from the effects of the Terminus on him(Worlds of Freedom). In the Terminus, everyone can comprehend and speak every language. Everyone also appears to everyone else as looking like the species and ethnicity as them. It is not a morph effect or anything conscious. It is also not a disguise. So, an alien with three heads will see him as a alien with three heads always. A normal human will see him as a normal human of the observers ethnicity.
His brace is a device attached to his wrist with a clamp like bladed device that can fly out. It can be used as a grappling hook (flight,slow fall, swinging), a extended grabbing tool(move object, trip), or a weapon to stab or blunt attack someone(blast).
Edit: Updated concealment and insubstantial powers and descriptors.
