I think I'm ready for review. I might ask about minor changes (add a skill, something like that), but I'd be good to go with this. I have 9 points unspent, but I figured I might as well let you get started reviewing.

The basic idea is that he's "quietly super" without turning on his turn-to-metal density increase, but turning on DI gives him additional life support and protection, and that he can go even further by focusing his "metal" powers on it.

STR is typically 55, optionally increase to 70 (which hits the DC cap, so I didn't go any higher). Technically, he could use his multipower HAs in addition to the multipower DI to get 17 DC, which is past it, but I'm thinking of them as mutually exclusive. Depends a bit on how firm those limits are; I'd be happy to add a -0 limit to the "Ultratungsten body" power "mutually exclusive w/ HA".

I don't have much in the way of details for his contacts. I'd be happy to swap them in for established in-world figures. In brief, it's a contact with the homeless shelter system (who he could ask if people have been going missing, any unusual rumors from that community, etc), a contact with the unions (mostly-decent, but maybe getting some pressure to look the other way here or there, etc.), and a contact with city council (local rep, stops by parents' diner for photo ops, again mostly-decent, which is limiting his advancement). Those are all easily altered to fit the world.

I'm not 100% sure about the "disintegrate metal" power, but close enough.

In any case, here it is:
