Gavel is a supervillian.
Background
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. He hunted the families of villians and killed them in an attempt to keep new villians from appearing.
He lost public support when a villian threatened a city with a bomb and he thought it was a bluff. The bomb went off and Gavel walked away while many others didn't. Shortly afterwards, an order for his arrest was issued.
After Gavel's arrest and sentence to life imprisonment in the Birdcage, he became a cell block leader.
Personality
Gavel believed that anyone closely related to a villian, no matter who it was or how young they were, had the potential to become a villian. In an effort to prevent this, he hunted down and killed the families of villians.
Appearance
Gavel had a bulky, muscular build. In the Birdcage, he was not well-groomed, but outside it he tended towards angular shapes, having a short flat-top haircut and shaving his beard in a V shape.
His costume consisted of a tight black shirt, canvas pants, and heavy boots, as well as a mask covering the top half of his face. His hammer was solid steel, and about as tall as he was.
Abilities and Powers
Gavel's power works by lessening any damage he sustains in a given period of time to a set amount, additionally allowing him to ignore other effects of blocked attacks. He can transfer this power to objects or other people.
He uses his durability to get close to his target while shrugging off attacks, and extends his power into his gavel when he hits his opponent. The force of the blow can easily kill, though he sometimes grants his durability to his enemy to allow them to survive the initial blow and send them flying. These victims tend to be gravely injured by their eventual impact with the surrounding terrain.
