Grant doesn't really have great idea's, he has a single track mind like any mutant does its just that unlike most mutants he just wants to be accepted instead of scorned by everyone. He is good in dangerous situations but then again any mutants can be depending on how smart they are. He is smarter then most of his kind, however you won't see him hacking a terminal or planning out battles or even being the one to flank an enemy without being told to do so. He is still a brute in all aspects of a mutant and even blunt at times, his intelligence is merely a formality of his ability to think and articulate like a human, but in the end he is far from being one nor will he ever be. I understand where you might think he is overpowered but I don't like people who overpower their characters or try to be better then anyone else with a passion, thats not my intention if anything I wanted to give him a back up weapon if the situation got really sticky, even being a mutant he is not impervious to bullets and with nothing more then a war hammer he would be useless in a fire fight to a lot of degrees. He has his weaknesses as much as his strengths, and through the roleplay you will definitively see his weaknesses.
An he is predominantly an West Coast Mutant.
