Mole

"Mole" redirects here. If you're looking for the person the Echelon Eight turned into a mole, see Soulshaker.
Claudia Huff, better known as The Mole is a small-time superheroine from The Saviors of Sunset City. She is best known for working at a soup kitchen, which unfortunately got raided by Void.
== Personality ==
Due to her short screentime, not much is known about Mole's personality. What is known is that she is kind and selfless, working in a soup kitchen to help the homeless. She also respects property, as she called the Eight to help fight Void because she didn't want to destroy the kitchen with her powers. She also prefers to solve problems without violence if at all possible.
== History ==
=== Origin Story ===
Claudia Huff was frequently bullied for her mutations, which made her taller than any of her peers (outside of adults at the time), and especially so for her enlarged forearms, for which she was especially insecure. She wallowed in her own insecurity for a long time, binge-eating to cope with it, until one day she discovered her talent. She could dig holes with her powers and traverse them. She decided that she had a way to help the world, and got her act together. She stopped binge-eating after going to therapy for an extended period of time, lost 100 pounds, and began building her strength. She didn't just use her powers to help construction workers and farmers, but also for crimefighting, as she built her Mole persona for this purpose. She didn't fight crime much, preferring to help the world without resorting to violence, which is why she works at the soup kitchen today. Plus, it's very easy to carry large portions or crates of ingredients when you've got hands like those.
=== The Saviors of Sunset City ===
Mole met White Lion, 10, and Spinflux when she called the Eight to get rid of a particularly voracious man with a mouth in his stomach. The man didn't care much for sharing, and the Eight punished him with little involvement from Mole herself. Spinflux shilled the services of Bert Blythe, of which she actually used off-screen to get a suit, and she became an honorary Eight member, never to be seen again due to not being called.
== Notable Moments ==
* Conquering her binge-eating disorder
* Being helpful outside of superheroics
* Actually caring about property damage
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Mole Physiology ===
Mole has enlarged forearms, which can function like those of a mole, and are excellent for digging and carrying things. She is stronger than most because of her odd physiology, and has a larger frame, allowing her to be more durable. Her main tactic is hit-and-run, maneuvering through several holes at a time, ironically making her weak to Whack-A-Mole tactics.
== Trivia ==
* Mole, along with Freefall, Fauna, and Scavenger, are the only supes without a proper suit to begin with, with her being the only one without any form of costume. This has since been remedied with the aid of Bert Blythe.
