Progression[edit | edit source]
Cho Ge, Karen Parker, Sgt. Suzanne Bernhard, or Warren Trudeau may introduce John Strobel to level 20–24 heroes and vigilantes. Detective Basinns, Detective Croquette, Detective Davids, Detective Hutchinson, or other level 20–24 contacts in Talos Island or Independence Port may also introduce John Strobel to level 20–24 characters who do not have Barry Gosford, Justin Greene, Oswald Cuthbert, Rondel Jackson, or Wilson Eziquerra as a contact.
John Strobel sells the eight standard small inspirations to heroes and vigilantes who have him as a contact.
Characters obtain 1 hour of charge for the Cryonite Armor power by turning in John Strobel's mission to defeat all Sky Raiders in lab. This power remains until the charge is completely used, even after turning in the mission.
Characters obtain 1 hour and 30 minutes of charge for the Antigravity Matrix power by accepting John Strobel's mission to combat Sky Raider menace. Turning the mission in removes the power.
