Franklin Ruehl is an American ufologist and cryptozoologist. Ruehl holds a Ph.D in theoretical nuclear physics from UCLA. Ruehl was born in Philadelphia (c. 1950). During his childhood, after 40 straight days of rain "his father told the family they were moving to California", where Ruehl was first introduced to the world of Sci-Fi, watching television programs and movies such as Space Patrol, Rocky Jones, Space Ranger and his favorite Sci-Fi movie /Rocketship X-M", that captured his imagination and desire to explore the field he is in today. "That's a lot better than a slap on the belly with a wet trout" His show, "Mysteries from Beyond the Other Dominion" started on cable public access in the Los Angeles area in the late 80s, and then the Sci Fi Channel in the early 90s. Ruehl majored in physics at UCLA ang got his PH.D. in theoretical nuclear physics there. During this time he was also writing articles in publications in Canadian UFO Report and went on the local T.V. news' five minute rebuttal sessions. After awhile he was being interviewed by the National Enquirer, later becoming a interviewer and writing articles on controversial subjects of that time (Cryptozoology, Parapsychology and Ufology). Host of the Sci Fi Channel's "Mysteries from Beyond the Other Dominion" series

This Disadvantage is perhaps the superhero Disadvantage. If your character doesn't have it, you should be thinking long and hard as to why not. A character with this Disadvantage absolutely refuses to consider lethal force as a valid option except under the most dire of circumstances (such as "kill or the planet dies" or "kill one to prevent a million deaths"). They dislike people who are willing to use lethal force, and will actively (and if necessary, physically) try to prevent them from doing so. If the choice comes down to using lethal force to stop an opponent and letting him escape, a character with this Disadvantage would let the opponent escape. This does not necessarily mean that the character is a coward or a weak fighter. Against a foe noted for his resistance to harm, the character will use his attacks to the best of his ability. Against unknown opponents, he will pull punches, use lower power attacks, or start out with entangles and similar non-damaging powers. And please note that it doesn't have to be a Killing Attack to count as a lethal attack—a large enough "regular" attack can still be lethal.
