Aggressive in Combat

Value
Common, Strong: 15 Points
Description
This character might not be a killer, or even someone prone to injuring opponents, but he does want to defeat his enemies as quickly as possible. With that in mind, this character will use his attack powers at full strength, unless it is obvious that doing so will maim or kill his opponent (assuming the character has a compunction against doing so). The character will attack full out at first, and then tone his later attacks down to what his opponent can take. He isn't necessarily interested in pulping his opponent -- just beating him, and quickly. Obviously, this Complication is incompatible with a Code vs. Killing.
In addition to not pulling his punches, he will attack the opponent who seems the most dangerous first. He will also be reluctant to flee a fight if it is going badly for his teammates, and will want to chase a fleeing opponent. He will not hide behind cover and snipe at his foes, but rather will move up on them and attack.
This Complication is not the same thing as being Reckless in Combat; the character won't take foolish chances. However, he will also not be over-cautious.
