Pimp my villain: Madigan,

[Pizza Man]

OK, so I’m looking for a few comments and tweaks major or minor for this solo villain. I want him to take on a PC party all by himself. When I start my campaign, the first few adventures will be to test and feel out the players fighting style. Once I’m ready I want to toss this guy at them and teach them the fear of GMs.

 

 

 

I’m thinking he’s more of a team player right now than a party tackling solo threat. He’s built around the minor powers, the Dance of Death and 360 Degree vision (those two powers came first and the rest just sorta flowed outa me).

 

I also need a better name.

Background/History

Madigan was always trouble. When his mutant powers arrived, it went right to his head. He’s fairly new to the villain scene, but with experience, he will get progressively more dangerous. He has a secret ID at the moment and enjoys the peace it brings him. Madigan will ruthlessly hunt the hero down who puts him in Stronghold.

 

 

 

With his power came big dreams. Madigan wanted nothing to get in the way, especially not the FBI. The people who knew him best are all dead. He doesn’t trust anyone enough for advice, so he starts his career with bank robberies thinking that’s how villains start. Then he will run a gang. And later, the mob. After that, well Madigan wants total power.

 

 

 

Personality/Motivation.

He wants it all. But its difficult for him to trust others. Madigan is willing to have people working for him, but not the other way around. Madigan is a narcissist, its all about him. Any defeat or wrong answer may result in murder. Streetwise heroes may know Madigan is in town when the local thugs disappear. Dealing with Madigan is like playing Russian Roulette, the guy can go off at any time.

Powers Tactics:

Madigan is an energy projector. But it doesn’t look that way. He has a zero point physical Manifestation. He produces a matching pair of huge pistols. They never need reloading, he can’t be disarmed, and they do Super-levels of Damage. His 12D6 attacks are not a single blast, but a hail of gunfire. Heroes who have faced him describe it as facing down a Gatling-gun.

 

 

 

The “Dance of Death is a short range rapid-fire teleport where he can change face at will. Combined with a seeming 360% arc of vision, he is a very deadly opponent.

He can target an area and shoot everything that moves. He can destroy a bank vault door with a hail of fire.

His tactics are simple, move, kill. Move, Kill. Move kill. As he gets more experienced, his tactics will improve but only with experience, never with advice.

 

 

Campaign use:

Madigan is meant to be a villain that can take on a whole group. As a hunted, he is relentless but single minded.

Super villains quickly tire of his self centered nature and will abandon him at the first opportunity. They may even provide information to heroes or attack him themselves.

Madigan just doesn’t work well with others.

 

 

Appearance:

Madigan likes to look like a villain in the old movies. He wears a (many times purple) zoot suit with a wide brim fedora with white gloves and spats. He carries no weapons, but the pistols just appear when he wants them too.

If 5e Def. Maneuver I-IV would be perfect fit.

Re: Pimp my villain: Madigan,

 

This villain doesn't really seem like he has much in the way of motivation or backstory. I think you really need to focus on WHO this guy is more than his powers and design.
