The Hero III Complications:
Responsibility - BJ has been trained to be dedicated to helping people, protecting the innocents and making the world safe. As part of this, he has recently moved away from being a superhero and took on the job of teaching and protecting other clones in need.
Suicide Is Not Painless - After witnessing the death of Missile Man during the Siege of the Crusader Fortress, Painless wants to preserve life and make sure others don't die on his watch.
Age - While appearing to be a grown man, Painless's mental development is approximately that of a 17 year old, with all of the social and emotional limitations that accompany it.
Rebel - BJ decided to assert his "independence" by choosing the nickname of a MASH character unrelated to the "M*A*S*H" character he is named for.
Power Limititation - Gamma Vision is unable to penetrate very dense materials or arrays of mirrors. See the Hero Family page for details.
Relationships - BJ is very close with his "brothers" Duke, Hawkeye, Trapper, and Radar. All of them look up to their "father," Glenn.
Police Record - The Villain, who is also a clone of the Hero, albeit evil, is wanted by the authorities. BJ must co-operate with them to avoid confusion.

The Hero Clones were created and designed by Ken Hallaron, after himself and Andy Fox. Painless is played by Ken Hallaron.
