Mano-A-Mano [Major] by Iczer

'They just vanished for a moment. When I looked back Captain Justice was a smear on the floor'

The character can draw himself and one other into a private portable universe. This blank, dank pocket dimension is short lived, lasting only a single melee round (Plus 1 round at levels 3,6,9,12 and 15).
Targets must be within 30 feet for this ability to function, and the character can draw no more than a single target with him.
In combat, this is typically used to isolate a target, making the character the target's only option. (for one melee round anyway).
By absorbing just himself into this realm, the character can use this as a dodge, seemingly vanishing, only to return a round later (+6 to dodge in this fashion).
Alternatively, the character can take up to 100Lbs of inanimate matter (per level) with him when he moves. In this way he can pull a hand grenade out of space, before it explodes. The character cannot affect held or attached objects, and cannot 'cut' an object with this power (taking only some of an object).
At duration's end, the player and his target, return to where they exited space from. If the new space is occupied, they are shunted somewhere nearby. If no such place exists, they remain trapped in their limbo until they can reenter the world.
This power requires no action to use per se, but can only be performed once per minute (4 combat rounds)
