Is this Advantage OK? Also got a better name idea?

What do we think about this potential new Advantage? Is it broken or prone to abuse? The idea is for characters similar to Banner/Hulk where the hero might not want to use their super form most of the time. Also anybody have a more "advantageous" sounding name for this? The idea is that the person is "being themself" rather than relying on their alternate form.
Reluctant Transformation: This Advantage is mainly intended for characters with the Normal Disadvantage and some sort of super form that they change into. It is also especially appropriate for characters with the Alter Ego characteristic. For whatever reason, you prefer your normal form and try to avoid transforming into your super form (perhaps fearing a lack of control or a lack of trust in the super persona). Your Normal form gets its own pool of Hero Points that can only be used in that form based on Character Point cost as normal, but your super form has no starting Hero Points. In addition, Each Page of combat in which you do not transform into your super form, you receive a Hero Point. Each non-combat scene in which you maintained your Normal form you also receive a Hero Point. You can use the Hero Points earned in this way in your super form as well as your Normal form.
