Description: John Black was a former member of the Mason's and a crony of the Astronomer's. Captain of the Jokertown Precinct, he wielded a fair amount of power, and was a useful cog in the Astronomer's terror machine. He was a tough cop, but greedy, which is why he worked with the Astronomer. Captain Black was killed soon after the Astronomer's organization was destroyed by Fortunato.

Campaign Use and Designer’s Notes: Ta-da! One corrupt police officer, who can’t use that? John Black is perfect for Dark Champions games, or a Champions game in which the local police have a turncoat reporting to a local supervillain (such as VIPER). Note he has 35 points still to spend. You could give him various Contacts and the like to fill him out.
