Professional Info
Professional Supervillain. Trained under Doctors Faust and Strangelove. Runs the villainous lair Crimson Coven with fellow wanted man Jack-o-Lantern. Lives with an army of robots, killer guinea pigs, goons, and wolf girls from the secret wolf paradise on the moon.
Well suited to both Silver Age theatrics and gritty 90s reboot villainy. Has a certain joie de vivre that draws the eye of heroes, which is useful for monologuing purposes. Can rock a really evil laugh.
Work experience
Diamond Heist
1992
Spent most of it arguing in a warehouse.
Capture the Commissioner!
1993
Posed as a journalist. Fact: glasses are invaluable supervillain gadgets. Anything you can think of? You can build it into a pair of glasses.
Project: Doomsday Device
2002
Collaborated with Jack Attack, who insisted on painting it bright yellow.
Plan: Hypnotize New York City!
2003
Programmed televisions and radios to emit special frequencies of the diabolical and hypnotizing variety! People cheerfully turned in their hard-earned money. Since hypnosis is rarely effective if the subject doesn't want to comply, I assume that people are beginning to grow sick of this capitalist nightmare we find ourselves trapped in.
Scavenger Hunt Across NYC
2012
Distracted the local capes while Jack Attack snuck in to steal information from their various hideouts. Reviews decried it as "riddled with maddening puns" and "having too much to do with 8th-century Anglo-Saxon poetry."
Scooby-Doo Hoax
2013
Do people really fall for villains dressed as classic monsters? We investigated this question in the name of science, donning the outfit of a 1960s extraterrestrial in our search of the truth. It turns out that people are really eager to believe in UFOs come to relieve them of their earthly woes.
