Complications:
-derringer seeks above all to return to his home with safety.
-derringer feels responsible to the other 'size challenged', considering himself to be their champion.
-derringer is courious about the why of supervillians and seeks to understand their individual mental illnesses, which fuel their crimes.
-derringer's citizenship in Freedom City is dependent upon his continued employment as a police officer and the completion of a series of classes. Unfortunately, his work often interferes with his studies.
-While derringer has lived in this world for some time, he sometimes has problems since his home is very different.
-Seeking to protect his homeland, derringer has never told anyone of his origin, allowing this world to believe that he is a native who relocated to Freedom City to avoid discrimination.
-derringer's identity is publicly known- he has no other name or identity.

Notes:
The Attack extra reccomends either Will or Reflex. I figured the blast should have the same. My thought is that the blast is a unfocused size alteration effect which causes damage. I'll go with the GM's preference for the saves.
The Attack extra requires that a reasonably common defense negate the attack effect entirely. I propose that defense be any size changing power.
I went with a permanent size as it is unclear whether a variable size adjustment to Att/Def counted for power level limits. Having size be permanent skips the problem. The extra levels of Shrinking are to get access to the Microverse.

Background:
The important thing to understand about derringer is that he does not have the power of Shrinking. Actually, his power is Growth. It's just that his birthplace is the Microverse. His Growth is so strong that he could not continue to exist safely in the Microverse, with a permanent size there that had reached Colossal, as the pontential for him to cause an accidental disaster was to great. He used his power and grew to his present size of Fine and became a resident of this universe.
Fortunately, Freedom City has a very liberal emigration policy and he was able to earn citizenship by enlisting in the Police Force. Finding himself ill-suited to many of the day-to-day duties of a cop because of his size, he concentrated on skills that would be of use in his position. It is his greatest pride that he was offered a place on Squad 13.
His greatest dream is to acquire the ability to control his growth power completely, allowing him to return to his home dimension. In that light, he has worked with various scientists to help them understand Shrinking. While no other result has come from his researches, his scientist colleagues have made use of his ability to reduce the size of objects (which he sees as the ability to 'remove the chock under the wheel of size and let it roll downhill') and presented him with his minituarized flight suit.
derringer lives in a converted apartment building in the Theatre District, which he shares with a number of other 'size challenged' individuals, though none are as small as he.

Appearence:
derringer (his legal name), is 3 1/2 inches tall and weighs 0.5 lbs. He has dark hair and eyes, with an open, yet reserved, face. He wears his flight suit most of the time to take advantage of its greater movement. It is a dull gray, with a clear helmet which he often leaves open.
