History: Luis was reportedly arrested many years ago for stealing two smoothie machines (apparently from a Baskin-Robbins), and served a several-year prison sentence. Upon his release, Luis found himself unemployable until a chance encounter with scientist Hank Pym at a pizza trailer encouraged him to turn his skills – along with his friends Dave and Kurt, also recently released from prison – to form a security consultation firm, which they named X-Con Security. In what may not have been the best advertising, Luis broke into Dynatechnics, the company Pym worked at, posing as one of the security officers (who he knocked out and tied up in his van to take the uniform and electronic pass card), and left his business card on the plant manager's desk, along with a hand-written note indicating all the holes in their security he exploited getting in.
As he was exiting the building, Luis became involved in Pym's first adventure with the ants, being accidentally shrunk down at the same time Pym shrunk himself. Luis nevertheless managed to save Pym's life from an ant that was about to eat him, punching the ant into unconsciousness with a single blow. (He was of course restored to human size at the end of that adventure.) In return for this, Pym managed to smooth things over with the knocked-out guard, preventing Luis from going back to prison on an assault charge.
Since then, he and the others at X-Con Security have come to Pym's aid on a number of occasions, including playing a small but important role in getting Pym as Ant-Man and several other superhuman adventurers, most notably the Avengers and the X-Men, into Manhattan when the Zodiac Cartel sealed it off under a force dome.
Age: 32.
Height: 5' 7".
Weight: 165 lbs.
Eyes: Brown.
Hair: Brown.
Uniform: None.
Strength Level: Luis possesses the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: None.
Other Abilities: Luis is skilled in breaking-and-entering, with a wide knowledge of security protocols enabling him to act as the "inside man" during a heist. He possesses only rudimentary combat skills (learned in prison), but has a mean right hook enabling him to knock out larger opponents with one blow to the chin.
Luis is also known for delivering long winding monologues of exposition.
Dave: "You put a dime in him, you gotta let the whole song play."
Kurt: "He's like human jukebox."

Role-Playing Notes:
Ever the optimist, Luis tries to find the bright side in everything. Several of his long-winded expositions show a liking for the finer things in life, like wine and modern art. His moral compass is slightly askew, as he will not hesitate to punch someone to keep his cover or borrow credentials, but he is generally a good person who will not leave anyone to serious harm.
When he goes for a jaw hit, he'll take a Committed Attack (Determined) if not an All-Out Attack (Determined), usually after a second or two of Evaluate when he has time for it.
When giving exposition, don't hesitate to go off the rails with improv at the slightest provocation. Even when not giving exposition, he'll have a tendency to run at the mouth.

Design Notes:
1. Dave and Kurt are best made using Action 1: Heroes templates; Dave using the Wheel Man template and Kurt with the Hacker template. If they know Scott Lang, he probably uses the Wire Rat template with a dash of Infiltrator skills.
