Wager

Wager was a hero active from 1945 to 1955 until he died fighting Eniac.

Appearance
Wager was an outstandingly handsome man in his early thirties. He had glossy slicked back black hair and showed signs of slight hair loss at his temples. He always wore a long tailed glittering purple blazer with a white lapel flower, a white shirt and a mustard yellow bow tie and black pants.

Career
A former gambler, Wager discovered his powers when in one game he wagered all he had "including my life." When he won, his opponent collapsed at the table. After several years of prison and numerous appeals he was noticed by the heroes and given a second chance.

He didn't stand out too much until his fight with Eniac in which he was asked to participate by Dimwit, who was the hero that gave the deciding vote to set Wager free and give him a chance as a hero.

Powers
Wager had the power to set up wagers for himself or others, including inanimate objects.

Common uses included: There were limitations to the ability such as creating matter (he couldn't wager for something that doesn't exist), altering his own body beneficially (he couldn't wager for becoming immortal, healing and so on). Wagers couldn't start if the person participating in them didn't completely understand the rules.
 * Augmentation of his physical abilities (Example: Coin flip wager between him and the ground. If he wins, he jumps up high in the air a desired distance, if he fails, he falls to the ground as if he plummeted from that same height).
 * Two consenting people agreeing to wager against each other. (Example: Wager offers two fighters to see whoever lands a punch on the other first. The loser gets immobilized)

Wagers need to be of equal value.

Wager could attempt to "cheat" by flipping coins or rolling dice in a certain way but couldn't use something that's rigged by design.
