I'm refining my villain concept at the moment - and don't worry about the villain/hero imbalance, because of his nature as an anti-meta crusader, he's probably going to be in conflict with the other villains more often than not.

Still don't know about powers, though. While the notion that he steals other meta's powers was interesting, I think I definitely want his motivaton to be ideological (and insane) rather than coming from power-hungriness. I've got some thoughts for how I want him to feel, though - very much a movie-monster, implacable predator, 'hunt you down, scare the bejeezus out of you, kill you and move on to the next one' sort of thing. He's also have to be strong enough to really take on other metas, though. I was thinking some kind of shapeshifting to do with fear - maybe he feeds on fear, growing stronger and taller or reshaping his body into something suitably monstrous?

Ideas, good friends?
