Mindrider? I smell another Epic AT in the making here!

The Back Alley Brawler is white? What? Are you high?

Well my wife DID just have a baby this morning. 
Seriously though, check the pic I took. He looks a little tanned, but still very white to me. I know a few of my white friends who are darker than the BAB, and they have better tans than I'll ever get (grumble grumble).

GRATZ!
The lighting effects in our game are very screwy. At certain times of the day he looks black. At other times he looks very tan. At others he looks white.
Thanks you!
Manticore may have cleared up the question of why Back Alley Brawler seems to sport powers from two different archetypes. In a thread about the E3 2K5 CoV Trailer, he says:

Keep in mind that the Signature Characters all have Signature Powers that may fall outside their normal power sets. The power to call Zeus' Lighning reflected on Statesman's Heroclix figure and Sister Psyche's Mindriding ability (the power to bounce her mind into someone elses body) are good examples of this. You will see these fairly often in our videos, comics and other licensed properties.

So, it is likely that the Back Alley Brawler has a power or two that is his signature, perhaps it's Energy Brawl or something, and that he likes to change his look depending upon whether he's on "newbie training" duty or "kicking butt with Statesman and the crew" duty.
His only attacks look like Energy Melee punches. I guess he can just change his race at Icon, too. Everything explained now! 
I was thinking something else. If any signature hero can sport powers outside his AT or power sets, what we see from Statesman himself might just be a huge range of powers.
Ya, that's a good point. Maybe it's a bit like the Kheldians, where they have a wider range of powers to choose from, including those normally reserved for other archetypes. Or it's their "signature power" as hinted at by Manticore. I don't think the comic book will go too much into what powers each hero has, except from a visual standpoint, but the novel, if well written, should have more room to discuss powers and how they differ from one another.
Not that far off afterall

It's the whole "with great power comes great responsibility" thing. The general populace isn't responsible enough. If we were allowed to be "signature," we'd have naked people, thousands of trademark/copyright violations, and other such offensible things running around all over the place.
I thought it was "With great power comes breadsticks" or something like that.
Comic tie-ins are fun. (take a look at the comic title)
