Myriad can duplicate himself up to ten times. When the team needs more than a few extra sets of hands or muscle for distraction purposes. He can also "pull himself together" in the blink of an eye regardless of distance. Just when you think you caught him, he's gone!

Vuvuzela: is a ruthless villain from South Africa. His voice is a sonic weapon. His constant humming can collapse buildings or create a field/area where no acoustic signals can be heard. He is a mutant and has various children all over the country who share his mutant ability.

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

As is perhaps appropriate for a group named The Interruption, it was launched before the previous group was finished. (And could we get some more info on the Rigger--which hero or heroes he's seeking revenge on, and what sort of traps he specializes in?)

 

So one more member of the Revenge Squad:

 

Repulse: Once Reed White was a normal member of a right wing hate group, until he and his buddies got overly violent at a rally in Washington DC. Naturally, the local heroes interfered, and Reed found himself merged with a wheelchair-bound black lesbian thanks to the power of Melting Pot. That experience moderated his political views somewhat, but Reed found himself ostracized by his friends and colleagues because he was now "contaminated" and "unpure." He grew to resent Melting Pot's actions, and volunteered for underworld experiments to give him powers to seek revenge. Repulse now has the ability to repel any solid or liquid object, forcing them away from him. He's working on ungrading to gases, and hopes someday to be able to repel energy, which he believes will make him truly invincible. In the meantime, he's with the Revenge Squad, who can cover for his vulnerabilities.

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

Rigger's traps tend to be mechanical

 

A circus tent that enfolds around a heavy object dropped on it.

When a heavy object from a great height is dropped on the big top,

the hero goes to catch it and gets entangled in the bag the big top canvas makes as it collapses.

 

A train car with a giant fly wheel that accelerates and decelerates quickly

leaving the heroes in a tunnel that caves in.

 

A well aimed anchor on pulleys was dropped on Orca (flying brick sea hero).

Orca used that same object to sink Rigger's ship.

 

 

 

on with the music

 

The Drummer sets the rhythm. He has a 6 speed and always goes on on segment 2,4,6,8,10,12

The other members of the team have learned to work with the beat and thus all gain a 6 speed when the drummer is present

Any character that does not act on the segments of the drummer is "offbeat" and surfers a -2 penalty to dexterity rolls and OCV.

 

The drummer is a basic brick that always strikes the ground on a wall when he does not pound on an opponent

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

Matt: could we have a name for this music-themed group?

 

Following Legatus' lead, I'm going to introduce another instrument-themed member:

 

Steven Vargus threw down the paper in disgust. How can the Times employ such an obviously tin-eared moron? "Benson!" At Vargus' cry, his butler stepped into the room. "Contact my accountant and have him buy the Times! And then have that music critic fired!"

 

Vargus stewed as he picked up his violin and started to play while his butler talked to the accountant on the phone. "He said my preformance was uninspired! I'll show him uninspired!" As he ran the bow across one of the finest musical instruments money can buy, he continued stewing over the review of his performance. Why, he had paid good money to rent the music hall, as well as to pack the seats with friends, relatives, and frankly, people off the streets. And then he specifically invited the music critic! You'd think the ingrate could show a little appreciation!

 

"And then, to imply that everyone at the concert hall fell asleep during my last piece! The nerve of him!" He switched songs, going into the Mozart piece that had been his final number that night. "How could he say that people fell asleep during this?" A thump made Vargus look over at Benson, and was shocked to find his butler had fallen to the floor, snoring uncontrollably.

 

That was Vargus' first clue that he had a power of some sort (though one he's not entirely happy with). Playing certain songs on his violin allow him to put others to sleep or, if he plays exceedingly well, may even be able to induce a hypnotic state that leaves everybody within earshot highly susceptible to suggestion. Now, as Stradivarius, he has decided to show the world that he is not an "uninspired hack." While he initially didn't need the money from the group's thefts and other crimes, his lack of business sense combined with an extravagant lifestyle has led Vargus to blow through most of his father's inheritance.

 

Stradivarius is a spoiled rich kid with an over-inflated sense of self, someone who never accepts responsibility for his own mistakes. He also fancies himself leader of the team, though his teammates know better and rarely listen to his "direction" in the field.

Dirge sings songs of pain. Sheer utter pain and mental anguish (build as ego blast instead of a sonic scream). His only joy is making in others suffer in misery. Even his teammates can't stand him for long periods of time.

 

New team! The Wild Hunt

Number: 6

Motive/Theme: The Wild Hunt are assassins, thieves &/or kidnappers that have no equal and are for hire for anyone willing to pay. Whatever or whoever their target is, once they have their assigned prey, there is little hope for escape. The more difficult the quarry, the better they like it. While the members like to playfully one-up each other at times in between assignments, it's never at the detriment during the job.

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

The thrill of the chase is all that matters to the Master of Hounds. A burly, barrel-chested, bearded man with a decidedly uncouth love for dog-eat-dog nature and the law of the jungle. The Master of Hounds has nothing but disdain for the weak, flabby mass of humanity that crawls on its belly through a life without value. How he'd love to shut down all the little conveniences of modern life. Take away their electricity and their cell phones and their vitamins and their damned psychologists... Yes. Return them to the jungle. Let nature take its course. Reduce this writhing pathetic mass to a hard core of men and women worthy of being human. Ah. Those would be people the Master of Hounds could talk to.

 

In the meantime, he'll settle for the members of the Wild Hunt. He even has respect for a few of them.

 

But what does the Master of Hounds do? He's the master of his hounds, of course! All he needs is a target. A good, clear target. Then he sets his hounds on that target. Huge and black. Glowing red eyes. Sharp of tooth and claw. Swift as the wind. Silent as a shadow. They'll find the target -- they always do. Hunt them down. Flush them out. Run them to ground. Tear them to shreds if that's the mission...

 

All of the Master of Hounds' Powers are actually psionic in nature. His Mind Scan has very visible effects (the hounds) and sometimes takes a while to get results. Once he has "locked on" to a target, the Master of Hounds can attack through that Mind Link with a Killing Attack BOECV, Does Body. Then . . . things get sort of messy.

Sir Thomas Nigel Baskerville had spent his life hunting all kinds of animals throughout the world. But, eventually by his 35th birthday he had grown bored with animals. He decided on the ultimate hunt, humans (and other sentients). He finds supers especially fascinating to hunt.

 

A crackshot with virtually any weapon he uses, he'd be a perfect sniper if the job would suit him (and sometimes missions call for it). Also a master tracker from all those safaris. He also generally carries special weaponry designed to fight against possible supers he might encounter on the mission. Not to mention the Baskerville fortune is at his disposal. His only fear? Well, those Master of hounds pets make him a bit nervous. He claims a mysterious devil hound kills the male members of his family. Though these hounds seem to pay absolutely no attention to him......or do they?

 

Note: I've always wanted to do a Baskerville heir (SHerlock Holmes story) and the Master of Hounds gave me inspiration.

 

 

2nd Note: No code name, his ego and pride in the family name wouldnt allow it. And a family fortune is good for buying your way out of the rare times he gets in trouble.

Tictoc the Crocodile Man

 

The jury is still out on whether Tictoc is a deformed mutant or the actual result of human/crocodile interbreeding; he won't say. All the clues to his origin he'll give is that he comes from an island "to the right" and that the temperature was much hotter than here. Tictoc hunts by taste; once he has tasted something, he will always be able to track it down, even years later. His primary obstacle to becoming a professional killer was learning to leave enough of the corpse to be identifiable. Fortunately for potential victims, Tictoc's reptilian physiology is cold-blooded, giving him some weaknesses.

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

Penny Pruitt, aka Profiler, is the information gatherer of the Wild Hunt. She is an expert at learning all there is to know about a target - habits, friends, resources, etc. and compiling a target profile for her teammates to use. This is especially necessary when the WH is hired to take down a super, since knowledge of a weakness to exploit can mean the key to success. If a target super has a Susceptibility or Vulnerability that *somebody* has discovered, chances are good that Profiler will know about it. (She keeps extensive files on all supers, even those the Wild Hunt has not yet been hired to target, so short notice on a job isn't often a problem for her.) She isn't one of the public faces of the Hunt, though she does typically participate on the periphery, watching the progress of the job and making tactical and strategic suggestions, most often by secure radio.

 

Penny doesn't really work hard at hiding her criminal identity, so any super being targeted by the Hunt can likely learn that Penny's husband, a cop in Washington D.C., was killed when caught in the middle of a battle between Grond and a superhero team. Because of this, there is no love lost between Profiler and nearly any super (hero or villain). The only slightly-silver lining involved with Profiler is that she does all she can to mitigate danger that non-super bystanders might encounter due to a Wild Hunt operation.

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

Nightjar prides herself in being the one the Wild Hunt turns to when the job requires stealing something, especially valuable foci. Her battlesuit is capable of flight, augments her speed and heightens her vision for telescopic range, x-ray, infrared and night detail as needed. Though the suit also wields armor-shredding claws, it also packs a wide variety of non-lethal restraints (electrical-charged nets and bolas, flash-bang grenades, super-hardening foam packs, sedative-laced darts and close-ranged knockout gas blast). Needless to say, she made herself immune to those last two just in case.

Okay...

 

The Punnishment Society are a group of seven quasi-vigilantes who go out delivering lethal "justice" to other criminals. They generally go out against regular organized crime, though they occasionally also get other supervillains. They fund their activities by "confiscating" their victims' assets, fencing and/or laundering as needed.

 

They were created by an already-wealthy scientific genius with a macabre sense of humor. He kidnapped a bunch of people who were already either independent criminals or active vigilantes and altered their bodies, making them either cyborgs or genetic freaks, in each case the embodiment of a really horrible play on words.

The Spectacle is a garishly clad woman with a penchant for ropes and wires of all sorts. She is best known, however, for her outrageous eyeglasses. The big candy-apple-red frames are fused to her face, but the lenses can be swapped out. The Spectacle's various spectacles include those that provide her with IR, UV, telescopic, or microscopic vision. After lassoing and/or whipping her opponent into submission, the Spectacle is fond of tying up her foe and leaving him in an eyebrow-raising compromising position.

Spotted Dick

 

Richard Blandings was a second-story man nicknamed "Clever Dick" before he was captured and genetically altered. Now he has large dark circles scattered over his skin, each of which activates a "spot" power when pressed. A "spotlight", "the Black Spot" (causes fear), "X Marks the Spot" (lowers the target's DCV) and so forth.

Slugworth, centaur slug can move through the gutter pipes.

He has chameleon skin and practices ambush tactics.

Once Slugworth has clung to a target, there is little chance of it getting away.

Slugworth is very strong and can take loads of punishment.

Horehound was once a prostitute, left savaged after an attack by her pimp. She "disappeared" from the hospital (corrupt cops looked the other way, thinking they had been paid off by her pimp). Given a cybernetic jaw and hands, Horehound's "specialty" is avenging those who have suffered sexual assaults.

 

 

There's another part of her that's been cyberized -- one she uses against the perpetrators of the most heinous sexual crimes. Look up a movie called "Teeth". Yeah...

Corporal Punishment (lame, I know, but I figure, this is right up this mad geniues alley)

 

A soldier who met a nasty end by IED in Iraq, he was "resurrected" when the mad doctor "recreated" his body with cyborg parts. Has incredible strength behind his punches. In a nutshell, he is cyber-zombie brick. (well, what is left of his organic body is kind of alive, because the doctor cryogenically froze him when he got "acquired" him, so he doesnt decay; but like most IED victims the brain suffered severe trauma, and in his creation, our mad genius concentrated on motor functionality, rather than independent thought. So the Corporal is generally more for being muscle that obeys and doesnt question.

 

 

Note: Might work well in conjunction with SLugworth, let the slug get a hold of an opponent with is clinging and then let Corporal Punishment just wail on the luckless victim.

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

Tom Trent Jr. was once a very successful, happily-married, and surprisingly ethical politician who ran afoul of VIPER. By the time they were done with him, his wife and children had been killed in an auto "accident", his best friends had been alienated by carefully-planted lies, and trumped-up charges dragged his good name through the mud until he had nothing left. With the whole world apparently turned against him, he decided that if he couldn't have his dreams, neither could anybody else. He sought help from a discredited scientist who put him through an untested procedure that granted him psionic powers. Now known as the villain Tormenter, he searches through peoples' psyches to find their hopes and wishes... and destroys them. He especially likes doing this to the rich and powerful -- those that aren't in VIPER's pocket were more than happy to kick him to the curb instead of standing by him in his hour of need.
