COMPLICATIONS:
Motivation - Doing Good: Data idolizes the best qualities of humanity, and strives to emulate them in spite of his disadvantages. He is dutiful, virtuous, and always trying to improve himself.
Socially Awkward: Even with his "emotion chip" installed, Data doesn't understand emotions very well, and struggles to understand many aspects of humanity that are based on them. He's gotten pretty good at some things, such as music, but still struggles with others, such as poetry and romance.
Relationships: Geordi is Data's best friend. He looks to Captain Picard as a mentor and a "coach" on humanity. He is friendly with the other senior staff of the Enterprise (respecting their specialties, such as Riker's romantic savvy, Crusher's medical and social expertises, and Worf's religious faith), as well as Wesley Crusher, Miles and Keiko O'Brien, and Guinan. He has a pet cat, Spot. He had a rocky relationship with his late builder/father-figure, Dr. Noonien Soong.
Prejudice: Being technically a machine, Data occasionally has to fight and struggle for his the recognition that he is truly sapient, with free will and the right to self-determination. Some others have trouble following his leadership because of their perception that he is somehow lesser.
Nemesis: His brother, Lore, a fellow Soong-type android, but one with full emotions and a sadistic ambition.
Weaknesses: Strongly-ionized environments are harmful to him over time, like radiation for humans, even at levels of ionization that don't harm humans. His immunity to mental effects does not extend to internal effects, such as feeling fear, when his emotion chip is enabled. He has a secret Off Switch that can be used to instantly incapacitate him.
Object: Despite having a Stamina score, Data can be affected by "Affects Only Objects" effects, and cannot be healed by default healing effects. He does not heal damage naturally over time, but must be repaired.
Disability: Strangely, Data's sense of taste is connected with his emotion chip. Disabling one disables the other.

BIO:
Constructed in 2336 on Omicron Theta by an eccentric genius of cybernetics, Data lost his family and neighbors when the Crystalline Entity destroyed his colony. He was found and rescued by a landing party of the Starfleet vessel USS Tripoli. As he grew, he gained a desire to join and serve in Starfleet. Though he has had unique advantages and challenges along the way, he has ultimately prospered in this career, now serving as Second Officer and Science Officer aboard the USS Enterprise-E under Captain Picard.
NOTES:
My favorite Star Trek character. So I had to do him next.
He doesn't hit any of his PL caps, which I guess makes my effort to build him using a PC-budget kind of silly. He's especially underpowered in combat, which isn't really his focus in spite of his Strength. But he needed to be PL12 just to have enough Power Points to portray accurately.
A wild disparity in PL would make for a unique M&M campaign, to be sure. But with the right roleplayers (like Brent Spiner), I think it could be awfully interesting and fun.
Like Picard, and in spite of the picture I chose, this is supposed to represent Data mostly in the movie-era of TNG.
Serving as a flotation device (as in Insurrection) or having an internal compartment in his body can be 1-point Power Stunts, as he doesn't use them regularly.
