Show Me The Master/Megavillain

megaplayboy · January 12, 2005

Inspired by the success of the "Show me the PC" and "the New Circle" threads, I'm throwing out an invitation for all the fulltime, part time and one time GMs out there to post some of their favorite master or mega villains. If you're concerned about players in your group reading the thread, just post a summary, or even an alternate/old writeup.

Some general thoughts: a general classification of their capabilities vis a vis superheroes:

from 1-12:

1 -- a match for a small(3-4) group of 250 point heroes

2-- a match for a medium(5-7) group of 250 point heroes

3-- a match for a large(8-12) group of 250 point heroes, or a small group of 350 point heroes

4-- a match for a medium group of 350 pointers

5-- a match for a large group of 350 pointers, or a small group of 450 pointers

6-- a match for a medium group of 450 pointers

7--a match for a large group of 450 pointers or a small group of 600 pointers

8-- a match for a medium group of 600 pointers

9--a match for a large group of 600 pointers or a small group of 700 pointers

10-- a match for a medium group of 700 pointers

11-- a match for a large group of 700 pointers, or a small group of experienced cosmic-level types

12-- a match for a medium or larger group of cosmic type heroes

I will try to post a few when I get home, though my main reservoir of them is still offline.

Origin

Jerry Buchanan was at one time a well respected member of society. Proffesor of genetics at Columbia University. Winner of the Nobel Prize for his studies in genetics. It was said that he was very close to finding a cure for both cancer and aids. Then it happened. Jerry and his wife were having a wonderful romantic evening. They had attended an opera and were enjoying a late dinner, a group of masked men stormed the building, yelling for everyone to empty there wallets and purses. The criminals circled out to collect the loot when a group of supers came in through the skylight. The criminals reacted throwing a grenade in the middle of the heroes and several of them went flying. As Jerry watched on in horror, the hero know as the Vandal, flew into his wife and then into the brick wall. The rubble buried both of them. A few seconds later, Vandal emerged covered in blood, unfortunaly for Jerry it wasn't Vandal's. Jerry snapped he ran out of the restauraunt. He spent the next few months plotting of ways to get revenge on the Vandal and all superheroes for that matter. Experimetning with several chamical formulas he finally thought he had one worth using and drank it. The room began to spin and his mind seemed to lash out at object around him. Beaker began to levitate and fly against the wall. As he watched a lab table flew towards him, he instictively put his hand up to defend himself and the table bounced off a field around him. He quickly managed to control his powers and after several experiments learned his capabilites. Knowing he wouldnt be able to handle Vandal and his team on his own he began assembling his own team. Finding criminals who were willing to undergo alteration or wear the batlesuits he designed. Calling themselves the Sinister Squadron they began a war against the Vandal and other heroes. Since then he has clashed with both the Vandal's hero group, Vigilant, and The Forces of Nature on several occasions. He has only been captured once and during that time he was put in an insane asylum, he eventually escaped with the aid of the Squdron.

Mr Psycho looks good. And he looks to be about a 4-5 if you use Megaplayboys rating system.

As Master Ninja, he is dressed like a Ninja.Personality: Twitching teen ninja geek. Tim has no idea how or why his powers work, all he knows is that his Ninjas are everywhere, and that it is totally sweet! Tim is slightly less sane than a very insane thing locked in a small room and fed entirely on a diet of coca-cola and methamphetamines.Quote:You Will Fear Master Ninja! Ninja Chop!Background: NINJAS! AHHHHHHH!!! Tim Muddlethorp was an ordinary kid and he loved ninjas because ninjas were totally sweet and ninjas can do anything and one day he found a ninja toy in his Ninja Funkies Breakfast Cereal and he choked on it but he didnâ€™t die instead he turned into a ninja and so now he has all sorts of sweet ninja powers and heâ€™s the Ninja Master and he Rules He Rules He Rules!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!

Tim currently continues to live his normal life with his folks, who believe that the huge numbers of Ninja that they see around the house from time to time are Timâ€™s annoying friends from the Society for Creative Ninjitsu. However, Tim also maintains several secret bases through his army of loyal ninjas. He has played both the hero and villain, more or less at random, and has deeply annoyed organized crime figures in Asia through his completely inept attempts to muscle in on their turf and/or â€œprotectâ€ people from them. Worse, his Ninjas have managed to form a strange sort of organized crime network of their own, alternately running prostitution and gambling operations and battling actual crime families. Add to this Ninja Burger, the Ninjaworld Theme Park, Club Ninja, and other failed business ventures. His network of Ninja contacts has grown shockingly large, and the ninjas themselves are almost always far saner and more competent than Tim, though they remain absolutely devoted to him.

Powers/Tactics: Timâ€™s near death experience unhinged him completely, unlocking subconscious abilities of ectoplasmic projection, reality alteration, and telepathy. Were he to actually understand and control his powers, he would be one of Earthâ€™s most powerful supers. As things stand, Tim can create vast numbers of Ninjas, who are then fully alive and able to function as independent beings. The Ninjas often have access to knowledge that is not possessed by Tim; this knowledge is drawn from the collective unconscious. Tim himself has the heightened physical abilities he believes to be appropriate to a Master Ninja, can conjure Ninja Weapons at will, and has gained a large number of skills from the minds and memories of actual martial artists. Tim also believes himself to be able to dominate and control martial artists of all kinds, and bizarrely is often able to do just that.

Tim will normally send his ninja armies against the foe; as the ninjas are only 100 point characters, this rarely goes well. Tim himself will attempt to strike from surprise, which with his invisibility and genuine Martial Arts skill is often much more effective than people would expect.

Tim can not die as Master Ninja unless his brain is completely destroyed; intact, it will rebuild his body.

Campaign Use: You would seriously consider using him? OK, think Foxbat, but with Ninjas.

Re: Show Me The Master/Megavillain

Mr Psycho looks good. And he looks to be about a 4-5 if you use Megaplayboys rating system.

Thanks, I reposted him from my Hero's and Villains thread where the rest of the members of his group the Sinister Squadron are listed. So you wouldn't be facing him alone, unlees you had managed to capture/defeat the others first.

Appearance: The Emperor is a tall, middle-aged man with graying brown hair. He keeps himself clean-shaven at all times, and is always dressed in the finest clothes. He has a "costume", of sorts, including a rather garish crown, but except when absolutely necessary loathes to put it on.

When it is necessary, the Emperor dresses in black silk pants and shirt, over which a red tabard is worn. A belt of red leather and matching boots and gloves, plus a long flowing black cloak complete the ensemble. Lastly, a large spiked crown tops off his costume.

Personality: The Emperor may well be the most arrogantly self-assured human being on the planet. Being effectively immortal, he always takes the long view. His plans always include fallback positions in case of failure, and many have multiple secondary goals. If the primary goal of a plan fails, the accomplishment of these secondary goals still may make the mission a success. "Wheels within wheels within wheels" correctly describes his mindset.

The Emperor views the constant warfare between Tarot and the world's superhero community as an ongoing chess game with an opponent who does not know how to play. His contempt for others is seconded only by his self-confidence. Even such world-shaking persons as Abyss and Lord Doom matter to him only as pawns in the game.

Quote:"No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution."Background: Niccolo Machiavelli was born in Florence to an established though not particularly affluent middle-class family whose members had traditionally filled responsible positions in local government. While little of the his early life has been documented, it is known that as a boy he learned Latin and that he quickly became an assiduous reader of the ancient classics.

Machiavelli's first recorded involvement in the volatile Florentine political scene occurred in 1498, when he helped the political faction that deposed Girolamo Savonarola, then the dominant religious and political figure in Florence. In the same year Machiavelli was appointed to the second chancery of the republic. As chancellor and secretary to the Ten of Liberty and Peace, a sensitive government agency dealing chiefly with warfare and foreign affairs, Machiavelli participated both in domestic politics and in diplomatic missions to foreign governments. These posts afforded him innumerable opportunities over the next fourteen years to closely examine the inner workings of government.

It was during this period that he developed a taste for political and economic power that has ruled his world ever since. His yearning for greater and greater power led to his involvement in the dark arts of sorcery.

In his most famous political treatises (The Prince, written in 1513, and Discourses on the First Ten Books of Titus Livius, written in 1521), Machiavelli offered rules advice designed to keep a ruler in power. As he grew older, he began to despair that none of the heads of state were actually following his advice. He slowly came to the conclusion that someone, namely himself, would have to gain control of the whole of Europe, and from there the whole of the world, if the planet was to be an ordered, organized place in which economic and political prosperity was to be assured.

He faked his own death in 1527. Shortly thereafter, he founded the secret society that would one day become Tarot.

Powers/Tactics: As a mage of incredible power, the Emperor can invoke great effects, limited only by his imagination. He has long since garnered enough personal power that he need not rely on items that can be taken away from him for his personal protection.Campaign Use: The Emperor is the leader of Tarot, a Worldwide Criminal Conspiracy active in the Global Guardians Universe.AbyssPlayer: NPC

Appearance: Abyss's true appearance is as unknowable as his methods. Locked as he is in his bio-organic armor, no one has ever seen his face or heard his true voice. The armor, however, is both reptilian and insectile in aspect, and truly frightening to those no expecting its appearance.Personality: Abyss is a very patient man, quite willing to spend time reflecting on any particular move before making it. When he finally does act, he is hard to stop because he's accounted for all possible contingencies.

A man of few words, he nevertheless has a deep rooted need to be in the company of others. He is quite willing to work with anyone to achieve his ends (the preservation of sentient life on earth) and has been known to work both with and against Dr. Simian. However, ultimately, he prefers to keep his plans to himself having found it too frustrating to explain himself to lesser creatures.

While he abides by a personal sense of honor and a code of ethics, his rules of engagement are draconian in the extreme and creatures who haven't lived as long as he often find his sense of integrity unfathomable.

Quote:"This might hurt for a little while, but you cannot make omelets without breaking eggs."Background: Abyss is so old; he doesn't even remember his previous life.

Many millions of years ago, an Ardipithicus ramidus was captured by the P!k gardening ship and forced to evolve into a sentient being. He was forced to spend countless ages trapped in the abyss of an alien hell attended to by soulless machines whose sole purpose was to understand him and evolve him.

Unfortunately, as he began to achieve sentience and upon realizing the enormity of the hell he was in, he attempted suicide. The machines restored his life. He attempted suicide again and again, each time the machines restored his life. The P!k gardening ship was unable to comprehend why a sentient being would continue to destroy itself and its alien psychology failed to realize that it, itself, was the cause. There is a fundamental need in the genetic makeup of humans (and stretching all the way back to Ardipithicus) for freedom.

In an attempt to cure this problem, the P!k gardening ship analyzed and recognized the need for social contact in this creature. It wired him up to its external sensors and forced the creature to observe from the pit of hell

as time passed by outside. He witnessed the passing of time at a glacier's pace. He was there, first hand, as global ecological catastrophes occurred and new life came about.

Finally, after millions of years, the ship began to fall apart. Abyss was able to escape. Many people have assumed that Abyss is a mutant. He is actually an alien experiment. Many people have assumed that Abyss is a nihilist. The fact is, after so long without the company of others, he desperately needs for life to go on and is fearful of being without the company of others.

Many people have assumed that Abyss is insane. Okay, they are probably right about this one. However, he also has seen the signs of another global catastrophe coming and is ready to avert it no matter the cost. Unfortunately for the heroes, Abyss has little concern for individual peoples' lives. To a being who has lived for five million years, the fact that another creature's life ended 40 years short is just academic.

Powers/Tactics: The alien ship has evolved Abyss to the greatest extent his species was able to achieve. As a result, he is stronger, smarter, and faster than any human. His extraordinary senses are heightened further by the armor he wears. He can heal at a remarkable rate, no longer ages, and can use his advanced brain and skills gained from five million years of observation to achieve remarkable feats of intellect (various forms of clairvoyance, mind control, etc.)

Inside his armor, he is capable of nearly anything...

Campaign Use: Abyss works best as the sort of "near-unstoppable force" that the players must think around rather than outgun and outfight. Its easier to stop his plans than beat him in a straight fight.Doctor SimianPlayer: NPC

Height: 1.28 m	Hair: Graying Black
Weight: 54.00 kg	Eyes: Gold

Appearance: Doctor Simian is a chimpanzee. His hair (thinning on top, now that he's entered late middle age) is black with gray streaks, and his skin (where bare) is the cool brown of cafe au lait. For his age, he's in great shape, and endeavors to keep himself so. Normally, Doctor Simian wears only a pair of shorts (he prefers denim, for the comfort and the fit) and a vest that seems to be made totally of pockets, over which is usually added a white lab coat that has had extra pockets added to it. Gadgets, gizmos, notes, and tools bulge from this plethora of pockets, ready to be used at a moment's notice.Personality: To his fellow apes, Doctor Simian often comes across as a friendly, affable... even likeable... soul whose primary interest are his orchids and painting landscapes. He's generous to a fault, and yearly spends millions of dollars to support ape-run charity organizations that assist apes in need. He has sponsored several scholarship programs for "right-thinking" apes, finding fine humor in the thought that these "children" of his are using the pinkskin's own system against them.

To those who oppose his goals (meaning all of humanity and those apes who have been "duped" into thinking that humanity isn't a race of evil oppressors), he brings only terror and death... preferably in that order. He has no patience or use for any human except as test subjects or as moving targets.

Quote:"The time for our blessed race to eclipse the pinkskins is nigh! Arise, my fellow apes!"Background: Later, he would come to the conclusion that all apes suddenly thrust to greater levels of intelligence by their inborn metagene "woke up" with the same thought: "I've been stupid!" It felt as if some great, divine simian had reached into his braincase and removed the cotton. Everything became clear as a bell. For the chimpanzee called Bobo, the initial moment of brilliant clarity came while he was standing on a circular stool, wearing a grass skirt, a blonde wig, and a lei of plastic flowers.

Bobo stared at the crowd of pink, fleshy, hairless faces, all laughing at his humiliation. Pointing and laughing and jeering at him. And the anger began to burn. He lept from his stool and hurled himself at the crowd, ukulele raised above his head like a samurai's sword. His scream burned up out of the depths of his shame and his hatred, and his vision blurred with the urge to kill every one of the fat, stupid creatures who dared look on him with derision.

The ukulele shattered ineffectively upon impact with his target, and he howled again in anger at the cruel joke that was fate. And it was in this moment of precise rage that his "trainer"... his enslaver, and tormenter, and nemesis... shot him in the back with a tranquilizer dart. Just like the pink numbskull to use a cowardly tactic... they could only beat him if they cheated.

Bobo came to back in his cage, brought back from unconsciousness by shouting voices. Two humans were arguing using that bababababababa language of theirs. It took mere minutes of listening to figure out they were discussing him. Most likely thinking up the means of his torturous death. Well, if he had anything to do with it, their plans would come to naught.

Escaping the cage was easy. So was evading capture. In the weeks that followed, the supergenius chimpanzee researched the treatment of apes by human society. The knowledge he gained only confirmed his worst fears, and made his anger that much deeper and hotter. He knew what he needed to do, and knew he would be able to do it when the time came.

He'd make sure of it. Leaving the "slave name" of Bobo behind, the chimp rechristened himself Doctor Simian, and embarked on his quest to overthrow humanity.

Powers/Tactics: Doctor Simian is one of the two or three most intelligent beings on the planet, hands down. This intelligence allows him to often out-think and out-plan his enemies. He always seems to be one step ahead of everyone, mainly because he has planned for nearly every contingency. In addition, he has used his intelligence to create technology that is decades if not centuries ahead of that used by common humanity.

Doctor Simian realized that he had a time limit to achieve his mission, and that time limit was too soon for realistic projections. To that end... and after years of genetic research... he created a chemical treatment which permanently retarded his aging. He has since administered this treatment to the other members of Prime 8 as well.

Doctor Simian rarely enters combat if he can help it, but just in case has reinforced the clothing he wears to offer some protection from attack. In addition, he always carries what he calls his "last minute insurance policy", a small x-ray laser.

Campaign Use: Doctor Simian is the leader of Prime 8, an ape-supremacist terror organization active in the Global Guardians Universe.

Height: 1.77 m	Hair: Brown
Weight: 77.00 kg	Eyes: Green

Appearance: Evil Mastermind, in his secret identity as Charles Pennington III, looks more or less like any other rather nerdy ten-year-old boy. He has neatly combed brown hair with a "sinister" wave in it, square glasses, and sharp green eyes. He can normally be found in his school uniform, a buttoned pastel shirt and tie with navy blue pants. Otherwise, he dresses casually.

As Evil Mastermind, he wears an outfit befitting the brilliant leader of Evil Mensa (an old Halloween costume his mother made). It is a full black suit (evil, evil black - not just any shade) with an evil black cape and mask. EM has been attached to the front via Velcro.

Personality: Most people are too complex to be summed up in a single word. Evil Mastermind, however, can best be described simply as "arrogant." He is incredibly intelligent, but lacks common sense, restraint, and self-control. He has absolutely no tolerance for anyone who doesn't recognize his genius and obey him...except for his parents, because he needs his allowance to get supplies.

He also tends to get irritated when people insist on dwelling on his age, instead of giving him the proper respect due to someone with his talent. This has caused no small number of letters sent home to his parents.

Quote:"Don't try to think too hard, idiot - you might hurt your brain cell."Background: Chip had always been smarter than everyone around him - that was the first brilliant conclusion he came to. At first, he had drawn the conclusion that the large people who constantly waited on him were lacking in intelligence compared to the small ones like himself, who were clearly superior. Then he noticed that he was slowly growing, leading to the possibility that his brains would begin to shrink. He was right in the middle of devising a devilishly brilliant plan to permanently stunt his growth by means of caffeine supplements when his servants sent him to a detention center along with other children. It didn't take him long to realize that they, too, were inferior.

Before long, Chip figured out that most people - regardless of their size - were morons, compared to him. However, his readings led him to discover that there were some people with unusual mental powers: other "geniuses." At this point, he didn't realize that his own intelligence ran far beyond any assessment of genius normal people could conceive of. He sought out the best and brightest people who could find - only to discover that they were merely less inferior to him. Not only had they nowhere near his mental capabilities, but they failed to recognize how superior he was.

When Chip read about Mensa, it became obvious what he had to do. He would join and then take over the organization - after all, as the smartest person he had ever met, it was his rightful place. When he was rejected - due to a combination of his age and the essay he sent in about how much smarter he was than the grader - he was furious. He decided that Mensa was below him after all, and he would form his own, superior organization - Evil Mensa. From there he set out to destroy Mensa, and spread evil across the city, block by block.

Powers/Tactics: Evil Mastermind is very, very smart - enough to make his world-class arrogance almost justified. He has great aptitude for nearly any field his intelligence can help with, ranging from electrical engineering to small-unit tactics. He also has an uncanny talent for making super-technology out of ordinary items. Unfortunately, Evil Mensa's rather limited budget can't buy him any better materials, but he makes do with what he gets.Campaign Use: Affiliation: Evil Mensa

At full size: 20 feet tall, carying roughly 25 tons of solid muscle.Personality: Dan wanted to be rich, loved, and respected. Mostly rich. He was a very good salesman, the kind who believed in what he was selling, and he retains those skills. Now, he wants something more. He wants to be remembered as the man who unlocked the full power of the metagene, the man who made men into Gods. He knows that heâ€™ll have to cause some pain to achieve utopia, but the prize is worth it. He can be surprisingly considerate towards his underlings, and will see to it that the needs of his cronies are met. He can also be a completely uncaring bastard when it comes to test subjects and â€œbetrayersâ€.Quote:"Now with twice the power!"Background: Dan was a wannabe, and he knew it. Not quite smart enough to get to the top in the hard sciences, not quite good enough to get to the top in bodybuilding, not quite shrewd enough to get to the top in business. He just couldn't succeed, but not for lack of trying. Step by step he slipped out of academia and into victimless crime, eventually making a good living as a steroid guru, helping athletes and bodybuilders prepare for competition and beat the drug tests. That might have been his life, but then...

DNP. It was potentially deadly, but a legal herbal form might be the key to a billion dollar weight-loss empire! Tribulous testeratis. A natural testosterone booster. Together they could be the bodybuilder's legal dream stack! Add a little tiger's penis, some bull's testicle, some fungus, monkey semen, creatine, ribose, this that and the other...Dan plotted and planned, brewed and schemed, mixed and matched, and finally came up with The Juice! It would make him rich, but first, it would make him huge! Hyooge!

Dan was right about the "Hyooge" part.

Dan sunk all of his cash into an infomercial for the perfectly legal Juice, and demonstrated the Amazing Powers it had granted him in exciting and only slightly edited before and after shots. Millions of dollars poured in! A half dozen more people became Hyooge...and several dozen died. Hundreds were hospitalized. Three exploded.

Dan was ruined. All of his money went to paying lawyers and settlements, and his chances of breaking into the supplement main stream were shot. Still, he knew he had something. He had heard of brain enhancing chemicals, legal ones, things that would do for human minds what The Juice did for Human Bodies. Well, some bodies. The ones that didnâ€™t explode. Ginko Bilboa. Guarna Nut. Bacopin. Specially cross bred super-potent Ginsing. Rhino horn. THC extract. More. Dan blended, mixed, refined, and tried Super Brain-o-Grow on himself! It worked! Dan felt better than he ever had! His ability to learn, to think, to reason, shot to heights heâ€™d never imagined! Now, finally, success was at hand!

This time all of his test subjects died. In two cases their heads fell off. In one case a test subjectâ€™s head leaped off, grew a half dozen little legs, attacked one of Danâ€™s assistants, and eventually escaped from the lab.

Danâ€™s new, heightened intelligence allowed him to understand. Somehow he had stumbled across a way to activate the metagene. This was worth billions. Of course, some testing would be needed. And some test subjects.

Dan currently lives the strange life of a useful criminal on the edges of real power. Hollywood producers use him to buff up stars before their next nude scenes, ultra-rich women use him to take a few pounds and a few years off their looks, athletes and sports figures use him to win, and both criminal organizations and shady government agencies use him from time to time to manufacture super-humans. For his own part, Dan uses them all. He needs test subjects and plenty of funding and support. He needs lab equipment, active metahumans, latent metahumans, and protection from those that might object to the deaths, disappearances, and occasional bloody rampages that are all necessary parts of his work. Viper, Demon and other organizations have attempted to recruit him, and he has worked with Dragon-branch (as a researcher) and Demonâ€™s Black Scientists, but so far Dan remains largely independent. After all, working for others means having to share the credit.

Dan has managed to successfully create dozens of minor metahumans at this point, and always keeps a few around as bodyguards and assistants. He has accepted payment for his work in the form of secret lairs, labs, vehicles, and favors, and has grown a surprisingly successful organization.

Dan knows that heâ€™s probably insane, but tries not to let it get him down.

Powers/Tactics: Dan is not in it for the combat, and will try to stay far away from the type of flashy, public crimes a Growth-Brick is commonly associated with. On those occasions when he needs something he absolutely canâ€™t buy or get through his contacts, well, thatâ€™s why he has his â€œboys and girlsâ€. If forced into combat, he'll grow as large as he can and hit somebody. Not very sophisticated, but it works more often than you'd think. If out matched he will to charge a single foe, knock them out of the way, and just keep running until he reaches one of his escape vehicles. Any of his boys will try to delay pursuers, knowing that Dan will get them the very best lawyers. Danâ€™s Pharmacy Pool will be largely devoted to a few defensive drugs tailored to any dangers he is expecting. He can create incredibly deadly bio-weapons, but he is not a mass murderer, and would only do o under very unusual circumstances. Outside of combat, Dan will work on whatever project his current employer has set for him, while at the same time using teams of his Boys to buy, transport or steal (or kidnap) whatever (or whoever) he needs for his own attempts to push the human genome past its limits.

Remember that Dan can only achieve his full power in areas where he has room to grow to over 20 feet tall. Also note that he is very vulnerable to Flash and Mental attacks if not expecting them. Once captured, law abiding heroes may fin it hard to hold onto Dan for any length of time; he has very good lawyers.

Campaign Use: Dan is a friendly, over the top muscle geek version of Tellios. He does not want money (he has that) or power for powerâ€™s sake (he just wants enough of that to perform his experiments and bring humanity to the next level); he wants to be famous, loved, and adored for his role in changing the world. He makes an excellent surprise for heroes who break into a villain's secret lab expecting to get information out of the scientists, and could also show up working for an NPC Hero team as a trainer, or using a cover identity as a "hero" promoting a new product. He might how up on the seedier side of Hollywood, Vegas, or Monte Carlo life working for the rich and famous, or in a government or Viper lab. His temper will eventually get him in trouble; at that point the heroes might be asked to bring in a very large science geek.

Plot Seed: One of the heroes got his powers from a Super Soldier formula or chemical accident. Why are teams of muscle men attacking him and trying to get blood samples?

Plot Seed: Viper has been adding dozens of new, low level Supers to Dragon Branch. Has Dan finally perfected The Juice? If he has, maybe heâ€™ll help the heroes get is invention out of the hands of Viper. Of course, heâ€™ll then want to give it to the world.

Plot Seed: Three players on a high school football team and two of the cheerleaders suddenly mutate into muscle bound Supers in the middle of a game. They form a new super group, â€œTeam Spirit.â€ Is Dan behind this? What happens when the negative side effects of Juicing kick in?

Pot Seed: People are turning into hideously deformed and violently insane mutants all over the city! Who do the heroes know with the medical knowledge to stop this plague? What price will he ask? How will the mad scientists who unleashed this plague react if Dan helps the heroes stop it?

Description: Ezekiel is a seriously scrawny sixteen-year-old with rather plain features, upgraded from his previously really ugly, and clear skin. In civilian guise, he favors expensive, trendy clothing. He's usually scowling or sneering.

In his first appearance as Apothesis, Ezekiel wears a Littleton High letter jacket in purple and white over a bare chest, baggy jeans, expensive tennis shoes, and a purple cape with red lining that has a high collar that *should* be obstructing his peripheral vision, but doesn't actually do so. In futher appearances, Apothesis will favor crimson, purple and white as costume colors, and aim for a "regal" look.

Background: Ezekiel Mundus was born and raised in Littleton, a small rural community a couple of hours' drive from Campaign City. What seemed at the time like a poor roll of the genetic dice made young Ezekiel a scrawny, ugly child. He proved to be hopeless at sports, a huge disappointment to his athletics-obsessed father. For a few years, he was very attached to his mother, until the birth of his little sister Jenny.

Jenny was born with a congenital defect that required frequent medical treatment and often caused her to be bedridden. The already low-income family had to spend all their spare funds on her care, and Ezekiel felt neglected because Jenny got all the attention.

At school, Ezekiel's ugliness, poverty and wimpiness made him the main target of bullies. "Zeke the Freak" came in for constant teasing and pummeling. If Ezekiel told an adult, sometimes the bullies got punished, but then they beat him up even worse in revenge. Ezekiel's parents were unsympathetic, his father because "real men defend *themselves*" and his mother because her hands were full with Jenny. Ezekiel initially showed some talent for schoolwork, but every time a teacher pointed him out as a good example, the bullies would target him again.

The greatest pleasure in Ezekiel's life was comic books. By scrimping and saving every penny he could find, Ezekiel was able to buy one or two on the family trips to Campaign City for Jenny's treatments. Ezekiel knew that if somehow he ever got superpowers, he'd finally have the good life he deserved.

Puberty brought Ezekiel a severe case of acne over his already unattractive features, and a new sort of bullying when a rumor got started that he was homosexual. He wasn't, but that didn't seem to matter to his attackers, and since girls treated him like a loathsome disease, the charge was difficult to disprove.

Today began with Ezekiel learning that he was expected to take a part-time job in addition to his farm chores, the money to go to his sister's care. When he got to school, the lock on his locker was broken, and everything inside had been smeared with used tampons. And the comic books had been torn to shreds. Everyone was laughing at him. He gathered up his things to take them to the boys' room to wash, but got only two steps before someone tripped him.

"Someone" turned out to be Brent Phearson, the football team's best running back, and a seriously homophobic bully. "What's the matter, faggot? Your limp ankles finally give out? Maybe it's time someone put you out of our misery."

"P-please don't--" Ezekiel felt ill, as though something was growing in his brain.

"Oh, I know you want me, you little queer. I seen you staring at me in the showers. I know you want something rammed up your butt." And with that, Brent kicked Ezekiel in the general area of his buttocks.

Everyone laughed again.

Ezekiel felt something snap in his head. "If you can't see what's really going on, then maybe you shouldn't have eyes!" A violet glow surrounded first him, then Bryce, and when it faded, Bryce had only empty pits where his eyes used to be. "That...was cool," said Ezekiel as he stood up. "I wonder what else I can do."

The laughing stopped and the screaming began.

About an hour into Ezekiel's rampage, after he'd stopped by the school library and chosen the name "Apothesis", the sheriff had rounded up the Mundus family, and asked them to attempt to talk the boy down.

"Boy, you get down here right now!" yelled Mr. Mundus. "I'm going to give you such a hiding!"

Mrs. Mundus shuddered. "Ixnay on the idinghay, Dear. I don't think he's in the mood."

Jenny coughed, and pleaded, "Ezekiel, I love you! Please don't do this, I'm begging you!"

Apothesis cocked his head and smiled, but it wasn't the friendly sort of smile. "Dear, dear little Jenny. Poor, brave Jenny. Bearing up so nobly under her affliction. She's so *special.* I hate you. Oh, God it feels good to finally say it. I HATE you!" Violet light traced over his body.

Jenny cowered, and her father moved to shield her. "Don't you touch her, you little punk! I should have known, you can't possibly be my son!"

"Wrong, Pop. I'm exactly the son you deserve. And I'm not going to hurt Jenny. Much." Moving at inhuman speed, Apothesis got behind them, and his violet rays struck Jenny. She writhed in pain as the rays played over her body.

When they stopped, however, she appeared unchanged. Jenny patted herself down, then realized, "My lungs, they don't hurt anymore! Nothing hurts!"

Apothesis smirked. "That's right, Jenny. You're cured. You don't get to be special anymore. Now, vamoose, before I change my mind. You too, Mom and Pop. I don't want to ever see you again."

As the grateful family scrambled away, the sheriff hoped that the metahuman backup he'd called for would arrive soon.

POWERS/TACTICS: Apothesis is able to alter the fabric of reality itself. This allows him to transform people and objects at will, control minds, project force fields and summon blasts of any desired composition. By bending space-time, he can even fly or teleport. Subconscious use of his powers prevents some forms of harm, and if wounded, Apothesis can simply cause the wound to go away as if it had never occured. He also is able to sense the realitiy around him without the use of his eyes.

Perhaps the most frightening application of Apothesis' power is his ability to bend spacetime to make a transformation retroactive, as if it had always been the case. Fortunately, this requires him to spend several seconds to penetrate the time barrier, and the presence of other beings who remember the current timeline will cause it to fail.

Oh, and he's given himself superhuman physical prowess, just as a sideline.

For all his power, Apothesis sucks at tactics. He prefers to track down his prey one by one, torture them with his transformations, and move on when he's had his fun. Initially, he will tend to underestimate metahuman opponents, slapping them down as quickly as possible without bothering to check on the results. If pressed, Apothesis will use the most obvious energy blasts he can while protecting himself with a force field, or mind control an opponent into fighting for him. In dire circumstances, he'll attempt to teleport away. He will often forget useful applications of his powers, and will tend to repeat actions that succeed, even if they're now predictable.

PERSONALITY/MOTIVATION: Apothesis feels that the world has kicked him around all his life, and now that he has power, he has the right to kick back hard. He remembers every insult, snide remark, blow and practical joke at his expense, and now he will repay tenfold. While he doesn't have any qualms about killing, dead people can't suffer, so he prefers to do things to them other than instant death. He also quite likes "poetic justice", and often tailors his transformations to match the victim's past crimes or personality.

Starved for affection and respect, Apothesis can be easily manipulated by anyone who can sway his emotions. Insults are not as effective as they once were, since he can turn them back on their wielder, but if a barb strikes home and he's unable to avenge it, Apothesis will fly into a destructive rage.

Campaign Use: Apothesis is an example of a superhuman gaining powers at exactly the wrong time and place. He should be especially useful for Teen Champions campaigns, as young player characters are the most likely to empathize with his bankground.

Apothesis will Hunt people who annoy him, but he will tend to be a bit haphazard about it. He may cooperate with other Hunters if they don't step on his nerves, but is unlikely to join a team or organization.

If Apothesis is too powerful for your campaign, knock his Speed down a point or three, and lower the Active Points limit on his Multipower. If he's not powerful enough, move his Force Field out of his Multipower and give it Reduced END so he can attack at full strength with it on, and perhaps add a few more slots to the MP. (Eventually, he can have a Cosmic VPP.)

Plot Seeds....

Apothesis Now: Ezekiel just gained his powers this morning, and is still rampaging through Littleton. The player characters are called in to deal with this dangerous new metahuman threat. By the time they arrive, Apothesis has erected a four meter tall razor wire fence around the town to keep any more victims from escaping, The streets are littered with people who've obviously been transformed, many in horrific fashion; others who aren't obviously transformed but claim they have been, and some who are just acting bizarrely. There are bent lampposts, smashed automobiles, a couple of buildings are on fire, and the high school has a huge hole in its side. Civic-minded characters might try to allieviate some of the immediate suffering; cautious ones will try to gather more information about what happened.

A fight is not inevitable; a clever bunch of heroes might be able to give Apothesis an attack of conscience and convince him to undo at least some of the damage. However, if the team includes Attitude Lad or Trigger-Happy Lass, this is unlikely.

Flow My Tears Softly, The Policeman Said: A player character that was especially obnoxious to Apothesis the last time they met is ambushed by the reality-controller, inflicted with a humiliating transformation (including the blocking of any powers that would allow the victim to easily escape the situation), and then Apothesis makes it retroactive. The protagonist must now make his way in a world where everyone believes that he has always been as he is now, no matter how ludicrous that seems. ("But you've always had the head of a chicken, Attitude Lad. I've seen your baby pictures.") Even if the victim manages to get the transformation reversed, the only way to restore the history he remembers is to convince Apothesis to fix the timestream....

Golddigger: Apothesis is back, but he seems to have changed his agenda. He's robbing banks, jewelry stores, boutiques--"He's got a girlfriend, doesn't he?" Yes, a reasonably attractive young female criminal has managed to get her claws into Apothesis, and has convinced him to commit crimes for profit and to provide her with nice things. She's also giving him tips on tactics, making Apothesis much more dangerous in battle, especially when she's present. Of course, she'd better not slip and reveal how she actually feels about Apothesis where he can hear her.

Apothesis' write up looks good (from a party fighting villain POV); what is his background?

SKJAM! · January 16, 2005

Re: Show Me The Master/Megavillain

Fixed.

Re: Show Me The Master/Megavillain

That's a great write-up, thanks SKJAM!, keep it up.

As to presentation, this was fine, but there's an export template that's for the boards over in the free stuff, or I can just send it to you if you like.

I like them all, but Master Ninja! is just totally sweet. I love him with all my body...

Those who've been to Real Ultimate Power know the rest of this. :angel:

Trainer Dan and his muscle boys and fitness girls are actually getting some use right now. Theres just something about attacking research labs with a strange flying cube filled with bodybuilders and ultra-fit bikini babes ...

The Golden Skull

A powerful and effective Takofanes substitute; could we see his back story?

Unfortunatly not, I have PCs who are on the board and (at least) one tends to seek out my posts(just to see what I'm talking about).

If they beat him(or find it out) then I'll update.

Don't tell me you let them get away with using player-knowledge...

Monkey says what?

Worldmaker,

Love the writeups. As I read the one for Dr Simian though I had one nagging thought. With his amazing insight into human behavior and understanding of all things it seems his Enraged is a tad...beneath him. Perhaps his brilliance only makes being judged by lesser minds that much more intolerable?

Even smart people have blindspots. Simian's is humans. He doesn't understand human behavior because he doesn't care to. And his temper is part of his character.
