===Background=== Gavel was a ruthless vigilante<ref name="death"/> who operated in [[Australia]]<ref name="aussie">Gavel had once been judge, jury and executioner to criminals in Australia. He'd announce his intentions publicly, swearing vengeance and listing their crimes, and then he'd go after them.<br/><br/>Generally speaking, he transferred his power from himself to his hammer and from his hammer to his target, conducting invincibility. His target would fly through the air until they hit something, at which point they would be pulverized.<br/><br/>If he was feeling merciful, or if he didn't want to give them a chance, he simply pulverized them with the swing. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/21/venom-29-2/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.2]]</ref> in the time before the code and the three strike rule.<ref name="history">A broad-shouldered man with facial hair like that of a homeless man's stepped through. He wore prison sweats with the words 'Baumann Parahuman Containment Center' across the shoulders.<br/><br/>"Is this safe?" Someone asked. A girl, in her early teens.<br/><br/>"They sent everyone to their cells. Maybe a speedster could slip through, if they knew what was happening, but we have a lot of people here," a man next to her said.<br/><br/>"You didn't answer the question," Imp said. "No, it's not safe. These guys are ''assholes''."<br/><br/>The man with the beard turned to glare our way, inexplicably, looked momentarily confused, and then walked forward. The crowd parted to let him through as he approached the edge.<br/><br/>I'd done my reading on these guys while making my way to Sophia, waiting for her to arrive. If this went balls-up, we'd be stuck between these guys and Scion. I'd wanted to know.<br/><br/>The man with the beard was Gavel. Cell block leader. A vigilante who had gone after families, particularly spouses and children, all so he could break his enemies before his namesake weapon could. He'd been notorious in the days before the three strike rule or even the code. Even with that, people had lost patience with his 'mission' when a villain had threatened to detonate a small bomb, and Gavel had called a bluff that wasn't a bluff. Gavel had walked away. Many, many others hadn't. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/20/extinction-27-3/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.3]]</ref> He would announce his intentions publicly, listing his victim's crimes and swearing vengeance before going after them.<ref name="aussie"/> In addition to targeting his victims, Gavel also targeted families, particularly spouses and children, as to break his enemies mentally.<ref name="history"/> The general population lost patience with his mission when a villain threatened to detonate a small bomb and Gavel called their bluff, causing many deaths as a consequence, while Gavel survived the attack.<ref name="history"/> His actions would lead to him being imprisoned in [[the Birdcage]], where he became a cell block leader.<ref name="intro"/>
