This thread is dedicated to all of the villains myself and players in the League have made. Every villain alive or dead, on the run or in prison, player-made or established, will be posted here and be constantly updated. Hopefully the eclectic and interesting nature of these villains will persuade some readers to join our thread. [u] [b] GM-Created Villains [/b] [/u] [b] Incarcerated Villains [/b] [hider=Abattoir] Dr. David Smith, one of the most prolific serial killers in American History. His power is psychic surgery meaning he can manipulate a person's body with touch. In fact Abattoir had been a renowned physician and when his powers Awakened became even more renowned. But the doctor had hidden compulsions that broke him down until one day one of his patients was discovered with her heart ripped out of her chest. Smith went on the run and his compulsions continued. He targeted young women of all backgrounds and cut a bloody and gruesome swath down the East Coast in his rampage, along the way murdering several law enforcement officers who were investigating the bodies he left behind. The press named him Abattoir and his genius intelligence allowed him to remain several steps ahead of law enforcement. Abattoir terrorized the nation and left bloody displays that taunted the media and the police for his own amusement. He was eventually tracked down and subdued by Pariah and DSA Agents in a violent encounter that left several DSA Agents viciously murdered and several more brutally injured. Abattoir is currently held in a super-maximum security facility, and is the first superhuman to be placed on Death Row in the US. His story has attained him infamy in the public eye and he has been called the most famous serial killer in America, becoming an urban legend and horror story to adults and children alike. His upcoming autobiography is anticipated to be one of the best-selling novels in recent history. His powers and his intelligence render him as one of the most dangerous villains alive and those who live in the areas he terrorized fear the day Abattoir will return. [/hider] [b] At large [/b] [hider=Apex] Apex, real name unknown is the mysterious leader of the Novus Sapiens militant superhuman group. Almost nothing is known about him, except that he first appeared after the Awakening with his manifesto that declared the Awakening as a sign of a new era. An era of Superhuman dominion over the the normal populace. Apex is known to make cryptic broadcasts through the internet espousing his philosophy of superhuman superiority and his calls for all superhumans villain, hero, or civilian to unite under one banner to overthrow the established government and create a "Superhuman Utopia" where all Superhumans are equal and provide protection and services for "lesser" humans in exchange for servitude. His Novus Sapien movement is one of the most dangerous terror groups active and attracts several superhumans whose dangerous manifestations make them outcasts and pariahs in normal society. Their group remains in hiding and is responsible for violence against anti-superhuman groups such as True Humans and the PMDF along with charitable acts such as defending inhabitants of the various "mutant" communities that have appeared in abandoned buildings and underground to escape persecution. Several times the DSA. regular law enforcement, and established heroes have clashed with Novus Sapiens and their supporters. But very rarely has Apex made an appearance. It is not even known conclusively if Apex is a male or if Apex is even one person as concealing clothing and voice distortion technology masks Apex's true identity. All that can be known for sure is that Apex is charismatic and intelligent, amassing control of an organized and highly dangerous superhuman underground. Speculation abounds that Apex is one of the extremely rare superhumans who has the abilities of sensing, bestowing, enhancing, weakening, and negating superhuman powers. Conflicts where Novus Sapien members had powers to match heroes such as Zenith and Olympia seem to confirm this speculation. Apex is also an outspoken advocate against the Superhuman Registration Act and of releasing so called "political prisoners" such as the dangerous prisoner Abattoir. Mysterious and Elusive, Apex is generally considered to be one of the most dangerous superhumans in America and Public Enemy Number One. [/hider]
