So I've been working on this hero story, with one group being essentially villains for hire (have not figured out a name for them yet) who fly below the radar by mostly doing underground jobs; assassinations of small time gangsters, private investigations, collecting protection money, etc.

One member (name to be decided later but will be called Char for convenience) having the powers of proportionate raven physiology and superspeed. Char uses his speed to do various transportation jobs and possible get aways when needed. He can also use this speed for powerful take off to gain speed and altitude when in raven form much faster and more efficiently.

Char's raven powers allow him to turn into a human sized anthromorphic raven form, granting talons on the hands and feet as well winged arms and a beak. His raven powers also grant the following sub abilities;

● Excellent vision, allowing him to see for long distances, using this to spot targets from a distance and perform reconnaissance and possibly act as a lookout.

● Powerful flight capabilities, being able to fly for at least a couple hundred miles at speeds of at least 22 to 28 mph, using this for getaway tactics and possibly for transportation jobs, as well using acrobatics to avoid attacks.

● Photographic memory, being able to recognize faces and environments to better track targets or even plan routes in areas he's been in such as various towns and cities.

● Char has the empathetic abilities of ravens (emotional contagion) to pick up on the emotions of others. Through training he can use this to pick up on lies, making him decently effective at interrogations.

● Char can use vocal mimicry for deception tactics such as sabotage by giving false information and orders and possibly getting pass vocal recognition technology.

I've been doing a lot of research on the abilities of ravens to more accurately depict what these traits could possibly do when put on human scales, but I'm no true expert abs not all the info I found was more basic. That's why I decided to maybe see if there's anything else in terms of raven abilities I'm missing or any other way raven abilities could be utilized on a human scale for someone doing criminal jobs.

PLEASE NOTE:

• I'd prefer any answers brought up focus on his raven abilities and possibly how they could be used for criminal jobs and not on his superspeed.

• Char's incapable of using both powers at once for a number of reasons ( a big one being that using both powers at once puts too much stress on the body) and his speed only truly works when running so no superspeed for flying.

• Char becomes a raven in stages, being able to make his head more raven like to access sensory and mental raven abilities (gaining a beak and feathers when he does) and can turn his into talons in this state, and when he needs flight he turns into an anthromorphic raven
