Powerhouse

A mid-level brick who gained his powers of super strength and resistance to damage from an industrial accident. Three other workers received similar powers in the accident. Powerhouse organized the men into a short-lived contruction-themed villain team known simply as The Crew. During their first attempted bank robbery, the team was defeated by the Crusaders and incarcerated in Stronghold. Powerhouse was released on probation before other members of The Crew due to the intervention of the Golden Avenger, who then invited him to rehabilitate himself and join Hero Corps.
