Project Hero v0.15.18 -- Punisher kit overhaul (new moves, weapon abilities, punch/kick), Hulk rage rework, Wolverine Death Surge rework, Green Lantern suit-up from the ring, Superman Suit solar boost, Symbiote Regeneration III

🔫 PUNISHER -- NEW ABILITY KIT Every key now has a second move on Shift, with its own cooldown (a thin bar under each HUD box). The HUD shows the key letters R G Z X C V inside the boxes.

• R -- Target Designation: mark the enemy you're looking at for 30 s. It takes 30% more damage from everything you do. One mark at a time (marking a new one clears the old). Only you see its red glow. 5 s cooldown. With a gun in hand, tap R still reloads -- hold R briefly to mark.
• Shift+R -- Threat Assessment: everything alive within 18 blocks glows for 10 s, only for you (hostiles orange, the rest grey). 12 s cooldown.
• G -- Brutal Strike: a hard punch (with a new punch animation) for 18 damage that stuns the target for 2 s. 5-block reach, 2 s cooldown.
• Shift+G -- Breach Kick: a front kick (new kick animation -- you see your boot in first person) for 25 damage that throws the target about 10 blocks and stuns it for 5 s. 5 s cooldown.
• Z -- Frag Grenade (moved from G; hold to cook as before).
• Shift+Z -- Warzone: hold Shift+Z for 5 s to call an artillery strike on the spot you're looking at. A 15-block zone is marked and missiles rain down on it for 10 s -- 30 damage each in a 5-block blast. No block damage, and it never hurts you or your squad. 120 s cooldown.
• X -- Tactical Roll.
• Shift+X -- Tactical Advance: Speed IV for 30 s. 60 s cooldown.
• C -- Smoke Screen: a 5-block smoke cloud at your feet for 6 s. Mobs inside lose track of their target and can't pick a new one. 12 s cooldown.
• Shift+C -- Flashbang: throw a flashbang that goes off after a moment -- everything within 6 blocks is blinded, slowed and dazed for 8 s. 12 s cooldown.
• N -- opens the Tactical Satchel (moved from R).
• Suppressive Fire, Adrenaline and the Explosive Charge (C4) are gone. Old C4 charges in your world remove themselves; the items stay as plain items.

🎯 PUNISHER -- WEAPON ABILITY (V) V now depends on the gun in your hand, and Shift+V is a second move. Swapping guns cancels anything still running.

• Pistol -- V: your next 3 shots deal double damage (12 s). Shift+V: an instant shot for 18 damage that slows the target (20 s).
• Shotgun -- V: spends 3 shells for one blast of 15 damage per pellet at close range (needs 3 loaded; 12 s). Shift+V: 3 shells in a wide 90° fan, 10 per pellet (20 s).
• Assault Rifle -- V: double fire rate and half reload time for 15 s (20 s). Shift+V: lock onto a target and empty the whole magazine into it -- your aim follows it until the mag is empty (25 s).
• Sniper -- V: your next shot pierces through every creature in line and ignores 40% of armour (12 s). Shift+V: Steady Shot -- the scope comes up, you hold your aim for 3 s, then it fires where you're looking as a double-damage headshot wherever it hits (30 s).

🔫 PUNISHER -- GUN FEEL

• The ringing "tring" of shell casings after every shot is gone (casings still fly out, silently).
• Aiming down sights slows you 30% (without the zoom-in that slowness usually causes).
• The gun no longer sways side to side while you walk aimed -- the sights stay on your crosshair. Your arms stay level in third person.

💚 HULK -- RAGE REWORK

• H lets the Hulk out from 50 Rage (was 75).
• Below 50 you can force it: hold H for 2.5 s. It needs a full hunger bar, empties it completely, and the Hulk comes out on only 20 health.
• Rage no longer changes you back. As the Hulk it only drains down to 15, and it now sets your power:
  • Calm (under 40): base Hulk.
  • Angry (40-79): +15% damage, +10% speed.
  • Enraged (80+): +35% damage, +20% speed, and the green gamma glow. The HUD shows your tier next to the rage bar.
• Tap H as the Hulk to change back whenever you like. You're only exhausted (Weakness + Slowness) if you were the Hulk for 10+ minutes or change back at 80+ Rage. Calming down with N still never exhausts you.
• Hitting 100 Rage still forces the change (the kneeling, unwilling Hulk who fights you for control and can rampage). An unwilling Hulk can't change back with H until his rage drops below 50 -- then he's tamed and yours.

🐺 WOLVERINE -- DEATH SURGE REWORK

• The Death Surge no longer has a one-use cooldown: it saves you from every lethal hit, as long as you have at least 30 Healing Factor -- each one costs 30. With less than 30 you die normally.
• Your raw-flesh skin now only heals while you're at full HP: 20 s at full HP brings it all back, and getting hurt pauses it (it doesn't reset). A new surge mid-recovery puts you back to raw flesh.
• The surge debuffs (Slowness, Blindness, Weakness) last until your skin is 50% back -- milk can't clear them early.
• The HUD shows "Skin N%" while you recover ("Full HP to heal" while paused). The old Death Surge pixel next to the Healing Factor bar is gone.

🟢 GREEN LANTERN

• The suit now forms outward from the Power Ring: it spreads up your ring arm, across your chest, down your legs, up over your head and finally down the other arm, with a white-green edge where it's forming. Suiting down plays it in reverse, back into the ring. Works for every suit, in first and third person.
• Fixed your skin showing through the sides of the legs on the Corps, Stewart, Classic, Midnight and Armored suits.

🦸 KRYPTONIAN

• The Superman Suit now soaks up sunlight: each piece you wear fills your Solar Energy faster -- the full suit, 50% faster.

🖤 SYMBIOTE

• Symbiote Recovery is now Regeneration III (was II) -- still only while you're hurt, still paid for in Biomass.
