Villain Design Studio: Villains with Cameo Appearances

[dans]

So what do you think about these guys? I know very little about them...

Batmaster and Red Talon - he can control bats and experience the environment around those he is controlling using their senses. She can control birds, and see what they see. They are bounty hunters, and travel in the BatBird Plane, a home built autogyro that clanks and groans as it flies.

The Cobalt Warlord

Nick Nuclear

The Silver Zero

The Tin Tarantula

[redsycorax]

The Cobalt Warlord is from the future- a nightmare post-apocalyptic world where the use of cobalt bombs destroyed all of the human race, except for himself. The Warlord's mutant physiology enabled him to survive in the irradiated environment, even when all other mammalian life was extinct. One day, an alien exploratory vessel detected his presence and enabled him to travel back to the past. The Warlord is motivated to amass sufficient power to avert his own nightmare future, but will he succeed?

Nick Nuclear is able to transmute his body into coherent energy. This is because he's actually an alien energy sentience who was somehow separated from the migratory route of his species and stranded on Earth. He assumed the appearance of the dominant species.

The Silver Zero is a female metahuman. She is capable of entering null-time, an intersecting dimension which has no temporal duration and which means that she can return to our time/space universe at any point in the past or future. She's in trouble with the Guardians of Time because she frequently truncates cause and effect if a sequence of events harms others.

The Tin Tarantula is a steampunk character analogous to Spiderman. She's active shortly after the US Civil War in the wake of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. In this world, other public officials were also assassinated because John Wilkes Booth wasn't the only party involved. She can climb buildings, uses strengthened plastic ropes to do so, and is actually Christina Steel in her civilian identity. She's also somewhat of a suffragette. She lived a long time after her primary career in the 1870s and acted as mentor and confidante to later generations of superheroes.

wow!

The only one whose name i didn't like was Tin Tarantula, until I read his backstory. The name fits much better for a villain from the 1870s

[johnreiter902]

The backgrounds were brilliant. Are you going to introduce any of these characters in future stories?

[dans]

I used some of these names in my own stories, but I didn't have anything in mind for 5EP. But check with redsycorax; those backstories don't belong to me...

[redsycorax]

It's okay, dans- help yourself to the backstories and use whatever you see fit.

[dans]

Maybe someone else might want to use one of these characters in a 5EP story; if so, that's OK with me...
