It may be because the center of the Marvel comics universe is Manhattan, but the cab driver shows up as a popular occupation for heroes. Across the pond, we can also root for Chas, even if he is relegated to a Hellblazer’s sidekick. We’re diving into the cab driver, but Talents fit many professional driving archetypes, from limos to Uber, with domestic truck divers somewhere in between.

Overall the cab driver is a capable transporter. Adding a Vehicle Specialty for Stunt Driving allows the talent set to easily transition to a number of related roles, like race car drivers, and stunt drivers. Characters that double as bodyguards as well as drivers might add Provoke to draw attention away from their charge.
The cab driver’s recommended Boons add a personal vehicle for their “other” career, additional languages to aid in communicating with various passengers.
