Overcoat

Real Name: Ivan Ural, AKA Otto Verkott, AKA Nightsight, AKA The Wanderer, AKA Dirt-Bag Joe
Background: Overcoat is a former secret agent, but which country he was the agent of is the subject of some dispute. Also in dispute is how he lost his left arm (possibly due to Claw, possibly not), as well as how he gained his mental powers. 
Overcoat has been a low-profile crimefighter in the New York metropolitan area for many years. He worked in partnership with Kodiak for some time. More recently, he has been noted as a member of the crimefighting team called the Night Shift, along with Mistral and Manhunter.
Overcoat has recently cleaned up his act and quit drinking. 
There is mysterious but unexplained connection between Overcoat and the Silver Age hero called the Blue Blazer.
Status: Active
Powers: Overcoat is an extremely powerful telepath, and possesses other psionic powers.
Skills: Overcoat is a veteran drinker with a limitless tolerance for alcohol. He is a skilled panhandler and a master at finding edible food in a dumpster. He is also highly capable of avoiding the police.
Technology: Overcoat owns an old 1951 Pontiac he jokingly calls his "crime car." Manhunter has adapted a hybrid engine to the car so it runs cleanly, on a minimum of gas.
Manhunter has also constructed him a human-strength prosthetic arm to replace his missing left one.
Quotes: "No flies on Fergee!" Also, "I like Krang!" And sometimes, "You gonna smoke that?" And often, "Got any spare change, pal?"
