Citizens and heroes alike see me as dangerous and avoid me. Villains want to recruit and train me. That isn't the life I want. I made a home in a cave in the woods. I may not be a hero, but I can at least use my powers to protect travellers. And what, my friend, could my power possibly be?

De-skin.

Focusing my eyes on a living being, I can, without being near it, force the skin to peel away. I wish I could be a proper hero, but understandably, people fear me.

So I make the best of my abilities, saving people from being attacked, providing shelter. It's humble, peaceful, meaningful and rewarding. I would trade this life to be a typical hero... but otherwise, I wouldn't trade this life for the world.

It begs the question:

How many people do you need to fully deglove from head to toe before you have enough human skin to stitch together and make a tent for the innocents to stay in?

As I said, meant as innocent. The MC found a cave in the woods. The skin is left TO the woods.

If you have enough stray cats you can make everyone sleeping bags

You can stop that thought pattern now, Ida Koch.

I thought he was de-skinning trees. I know that they make canoes out of beech bark, and roofing from cedar bark.
