Bolon Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I remember a villain called the Master of Crime. I am looking for him but unable to find him. Was he stopped in 6th Ed? Where is he from? Did he morph into the head of the Card Sharks? I sort of remember him from 4th Ed but haven't found him. Any help anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Re: Master of Crime There was a Brazilian master villain called the Ruler of Crime....his costume was based on a ruler. And I thought that was silly. He was in Enemies: The International File IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Re: Master of Crime His stats are in 4th Ed Dark Champions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolon Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Re: Master of Crime Thought he might be interesting to use as the villain behind a sort of "Person of Interest" scenario. Thanks. Does anyone know if he has been moved forward as part of 5th or 6th Ed? Is he still valid as a DC villain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Re: Master of Crime I don't know if he's in any of the updated materials, but there's no reason he can't be valid in your DC game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawknight Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Re: Master of Crime As an Ultimate Kingpin type of character, he will always be viable for DC. He also works as a "Jabba the Hut"/"Big Astrocorp Executive" in Star Hero. Easy to update and loads of fun to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if he has been moved forward as part of 5th or 6th Ed? Is he still valid as a DC villain? I don't have 5E DC, but since there hasn't been a 6E Dark Champions published I think it is fairly safe to say that No, he hasn't been updated to 6E.

Bolon Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Re: Master of Crime I am thinking of creating a scenario with him as the big bad and the villains from Predators as the rogue gallery of weekly battles until it is figured out that they are connected through a kingpin. Did something like that before but the players were not getting the fact that the "flunkies" didn't know the major villain and were hired by someone else. Part of Master of Crime is his crime school and thought he might supply henchmen sort as an apprenticeship program, LOL WEG. The Master of Crime would have actually been involved in the super computer and surveillance program and used it to milk the data to gain his position. One of the characters has connections to the dead programmer and make it a vendetta situation. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Re: Master of Crime Not sure what's meant in regards to the "super computer" here, but that's just me. Just throwing this out there: The players could be offered a computer whose programmers claim will help them predict and foil crimes. Of course, the Master of Crime is behind it and he's using the players to eliminate both the competition and people whose services he no longer requires.

Bolon Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Re: Master of Crime Check out "Person of Interest". The "super computer" is a program that uses a large defense computer to analyze surveillance video, street camera video, cell phone taps, open communication or public communication of any kind looking for defense threats as part of homeland security. The inventor put in a secondary program that puts out street level crime information. In the series, it is limited by giving the Social Security number of someone involved and the characters need to figure out if they are victim or villain. The idea would be Master of Crime would use the information to build his database and connections to create his "kingpin empire" first as an ally and then take over as he plays parts against others to maintain control. My scenario is looking at his arrival on the scene and involvement as a major player as he develops his power and contacts. He would be available and connected to all major villains and give them their tailored or signature assistance. It would become known that these villain didn't develop the henchmen talent but a third party. The computer program would become available to give clues to a party member and help in the destruction of Master of Crime's power over the computer program.
