Design Notes: First off, Speedy could go either way. Maybe there's troupe style play and someone plays Roy every once and a while. Maybe he's a Watcher character that shows up to stir things up. I think it's more interesting, given the whole "Broken Arrow" thing, that he's a Watcher character that the Watcher lets folks play. (Of course, I wouldn't write down the Broken Arrow distinction on the sheet I gave to players.)  For a Player Character, I'd give him Milestones about "Making It On His Own" and "Finding the Mole."

Additionally, there's probably going to be more disagreement about whether or not certain non-powered folks have Enhanced abilities or not. My take is that, to bump up to Enhanced, the character either has to have some applicable super-power (like Captain America or Black Panther, who were explicitly enhanced by the super soldier serum / heart shaped herb) or you have to be at the Batman level of obsessive lifelong training.  If you think that Speedy and Robin deserve Enhanced Reflexes, Kate Bishop's writeup in Civil War: Young Avengers/Runaways is perfect to take from.
