Working on a NPC that is my equilivant of Magneto from the movies, as far as his feelings about the mutant-human relations goes.
He's a extremely powerful mutant that can do just about anything through a couple VPPs. I just am drawing a complete blank as far as a name goes. Any help would be great.
He's basical strong (25str) good dex and spd. Has a offensive only VPP can be anything he wants(cosmic, no roll) and another VPP that can be used for anything not offensive (same set up). He also has a MP that has a blast that can vari the advantage and another that can vari the SPX.
Just can get anything past *name here* - The Ultra-Mutant.

Do you prefer something that speaks to his powers, or his attitudes?
Powers: Omni, Spectrum, Matrix
Attitude: Omega, Vanguard, Apex, Helix
More as they come to me.

Actualy a lot of help. I like the Omega theroy. Just can't figure out why I drew a total blank. Had no problem with the powers and background, even his ID. Just couldn't manage a super-name :)

The name AVATAR comes to mind, as he might consider himself a representation of godlike power, if not actually a mortal incarnation of a god, which in my understanding is what avatars were in Hindu mythology.
Hope that helps.

Here is a good and basic question: Does he have a secret ID?
If yes: Master
If No: Master [Name]
A person with this much raw power at his disposal most likely would come with a planet-sized ego to boot and would want every person out there to know that he is the Master of everything and these wimpy supers cannot stop him :p (until they do :o ).

Background:
Avatar was born in New York City in the late 60 to a nice suburban family. His live was going as most would expect for someone with a rather high IQ. He was a straight A student and was planning on going to college were he would study history. He always had a love of history and was more knowledgeable than his high school teachers.
Yes, everything was going fine until he reached the age of 15. On his 15th birthday is when the men in the funny white uniform and sur-coat with the large red cross appeared, see Stephan was a low level. He had no actual powers, unless you count his high IQ, but that didn?t matter to the Knights Of Genetic Purity. He was a mutant and that was the only thing that meant anything to them. The took him back to one of their many hidden research bases and started performing horrible tests.
The Knights wanted to know why he registered on the detection devices but had no powers. Stephan suffered at their hands for many weeks before the change happened. The Knights had been using every drug and gizmo they had to try and figure it all out with no success. They were left with trying out an untested new mutant analyzing chamber they had developed. So with no regard to the affect it might have on Stephan they put him into it and turned it on. If the Knights had taken the time to examine the chamber closer they would have realized that several circuit boards had been miss wired, but he was only a mutant so noone cared if it malfunctioned. When the machine was turned on there were several loud pops, followed by circuit boards burning then a large explosion. When the fires were put out and the smoke cleared Stephan could be seen standing in the middle of the wreckage. He was not amused, to say the least.
The chamber and the subsequent explosion some how further mutated him in to the strongest mutant that the Knights had ever found. He was not only able to cause extreme amounts of damage; he could change the effect of his powers. Sometimes he would shoot fire from his eyes, the next time it would be ice. The agents at the research base were no match for Stephan's new powers. When Primus arrived to see what had caused the explosion on the outskirts of town, Stephan was already gone. While Primus did capture several agents and scientist, no one ever told them the entire story. The official story is that a mutant attacked a research facility and destroyed it, killing hundreds and furthering the hatred of mutants.
Stephan returned home only to find his family dead and his house destroyed. Stephan fled into the mountains near his home to think. He started thinking all through history fear had caused men to try and destroy others not like them, be it slavery or the gas chambers WWII. He vowed then and there to prove to the world that mutants, like him, not only deserved to live but to be in control of the world. Stephan hid out in the mountains for years studying and planning. While he never made it to college he taught himself several different sciences, as well as history. He has reappeared to start his master plan in motion. His plan is to gather a large force around him and then start the next world war.
Man against Mutant
Personality
Stephan is a nice an pleasant person to be around. As long as you either a mutant, or know your role. While he doesn't hate humans per say, it simple believes he's better than them
