The Carpeted Man is a member of the Civic Minded Five. He shuffles his feel along the ground building up static electricity that he uses to shock the villains. It actually works pretty well, but the carpeted suit is warm so he tends to overheat. Of all the Civic Minded Five he's probably the most funny. "The Tick" cartoon series voice: Pat Froley

The character believes in the good of the community in which he lives. As such, he takes an active interest in civic affairs and works to improve local conditions. He will not litter, and do his best to prevent property damage. Characters with this Disadvantage often volunteer their time and talents to the community without thought of reward. 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.
