PRT THREAT ASSESSMENT

Code Name: The Hopeman
Civilian Identity: None (Automaton created by The Hoper)
Affiliation: Independent Hero

Power Classification:
- Brute 7
- Mover 6
- Thinker 3

Abilities:
- Superhuman strength and speed
- Flight
- Advanced radar capable of detecting sound, heat, and other signals

Assessment:
The Hopeman poses a unique challenge in terms of threat assessment given its robotic nature.
Its combination of strength, speed, and radar detection makes it highly effective in both combat and search operations.
However, its primary directive to defend humanity presents it more as an asset than a threat under current circumstances.

Strengths:
- Exceptional physical prowess (strength and speed)
- Aerial mobility via flight
- Comprehensive radar detection system enhancing situational awareness

Weaknesses:
- Robotic nature implies potential vulnerabilities to EMPs and hacking
- Directive to protect humanity may be exploited/redirected by enemies
- Lacks the ability to adapt beyond its programmed parameters
- Dependent on maintenance and power sources for sustained operation

Engagement Protocols:
1. Utilize electromagnetic pulses or hacking techniques if neutralization becomes necessary.
2. Assume standard Brute engagement protocols when interacting.
3. Maintain distance and engage with Blaster abilities.

History:
The Hopeman was created by The Hoper, a now-deceased hero who succumbed to cancer.
The Hoper's legacy continues through Hopeman, his sole creation, which now patrols the streets to protect civilians and combat crime.
Hopeman has shown a focus on minor crimes but is equipped to handle larger threats as needed.

Notes:
- Hopeman demonstrates a strong moral compass and dedication to its directive.
- Requires periodic monitoring to ensure its directive remains aligned with PRT protocols.

Recommended Approach:
Establish a collaborative relationship with Hopeman to leverage its capabilities in crime prevention and response.
Monitor for any signs of malfunction or compromise. 
Utilize its strengths in a controlled manner to benefit public safety while preparing countermeasures for any potential risks.

Director's Note:
Dragon has expressed a strong desire for the Hopeman to join the Protectorate. 
PRT ENE has communicated to the Hopeman that a position is open for him should he desire.
