Ramon Benavente

Ramon Benavente is a pink-band Alpha with the ability to amplify other posthumans' powers. He was Sofia Galán-Grant's third-block partner at Maillardet's Academy, and went on to qualify for the capstone class. He was hired by the BPHA almost immediately after graduation and currently serves as a Cape Collector with the Black Shucks.quipquipquip: "How did Sofia and Roxy get pregnant?"Corona
When Sofia and her wife Roxanne decided to start a family, they asked Ramon to be their sperm donor, both due to his mixed Puerto Rican and Irish heritage and because he is someone Sofia trusts. Their first daughter, Rosario, took after Ramon as a pink-band poster.
Like all Maillardet's students, Ramon chose his own moniker at the age of thirteen, and has spent many subsequent years regretting it. For years, he has been appealing to his squad leader Sal Santini for help navigating the legal mess required to officially change his moniker from The Big Boost to something more dignified, but Sal has always refused on the grounds that the rigmarole isn't worth it. Of course, the fact that Sal finds it privately hilarious may also factor in.
Ramon is passionate about soccer, and outside of work he coaches a middle school soccer team and dotes on his nieces (he counts Roz and Libby among them). He lives with his father, the only person who can tolerate his futbol rants.
He has "the heart and build of a soccer player", tall, lean and muscular. His "shampoo-commercial-worthy hair", which started as a bet between him and Sal, is almost bicep-length when loose. He usually wears it in a pony tail.
Ramon's power allows him to amplify the strength and effectiveness of other posthumans' powers to extraordinary levels through skin-to-skin contact. As this ability is not consciousness controlled, he has to be careful to avoid any inadvertent physical contact with other posters.
