Origin/Background: Frederick von Frankenstein was the last in a long line of scientists from a prominent family. His father put tremendous pressure on him to succeed: in school, in the lab, etc. The sheer volume of work proved too much for one man, so Freddy used his uncle Hal's phase shifter to create duplicate copies of himself, trying to be the best at everything. During this time, he developed a means to allow himself to stick to virtually any surface. Unfortunately, the duplication process activated a metagene--eventually, Freddy realized he no longer needed the machine to create duplicates, and his face took on the appearance of a skeleton. Also, since he was no longer one person, he could no longer fall asleep. Sleep deprivation quickly drove him insane, and his father banished him from the lab. He turned to a life of crime and adopted the name Riot.

Origin/Background: Little has been revealed about the origins of The Dummy. He is a criminal genius who exactly resembles a ventriloquist’s dummy. Danny the Dummy, a pint-sized ventriloquist in a top hat and suit, has a hit act in which he plays the dummy to a normal sized "ventriloquist" Matt (who is revealed as the real dummy at the end of each show). But the fact that people invariably refer to Danny as "the Dummy" infuriates him, and inspires him to use dummies for crime to make dummies out of the law.

Age: ?                            
Level: 6                           
Training: Damage

Powers:
1. Transformation (C): Shapeshifter: (Disguise): The character can assume the appearance of any creature of relatively the same size and build. This may include physical abilities of shape assumed (body powers, wings, natural weaponry, etc.). The GM should inform the character whether he has picked up any pertinent abilities once the disguise is assumed. The character will probably be able to simulate the garb of whatever he changes into as well. It takes one action to change, with no power cost. Characters coming into contact with a disguised character are allowed one saving throw on percentile dice vs. their Intelligence score to see through the ruse, and an additional saving throw attempt whenever the impostor does something to give himself away (GM's decision as to when this occurs).
2. Stretching: Maximum length = 88". Maximum area is a square 44 inches on a side. Maximum cubic size is 22 inches in thickness. PR = 1 per use as a defense.
3. Regeneration: Can't heal damage from chemical attacks.

Her schizophrenia attracted the attention of the sinister Brain and Monsieur Mallah. They used a ray device to suppress the positive side of her personality and unleash the evil half, which was named Madame Rogue. Together they formed the Brotherhood of Evil. Madame Rouge gained her super-powers after undergoing an experimental procedure performed by Brain and Mallah.

Origin/Background: Prince Uxas is the son of Queen Heggra of Apokolips, one of the two planets that are home to the race known as the New Gods. He planned to gain the throne at any cost. Second in line to the throne behind his brother Drax, Uxas created political upheaval while his brother attempted to make peace with the nearby world of New Genesis. When Drax attempted to claim the fabled Omega Force and assume godhood, Uxas murdered him and claimed the power for himself. Renaming himself Darkseid after the apocryphal god, Uxas assumed the throne and began a war with New Genesis.

Notes: As you can see Darkseid is NASTY. If anything, I may have made him a little underpowered. He's capable of laying waste to most huge amounts of territory and taking on the entire JLA single handed. I'll flesh out the details on his Boom Tube later.

Origin/Background: In 1894, the wealthy Cyrus Gold was attacked by a man named Jem, who wanted Gold's money. Jem's girlfriend Rachel Rykel, was a prostitute Gold had once bought services from, and the two had tried to blackmail Gold about it. When Gold refused to pay her, Jem severely injured him, took his money, and left the body to die in the murky heart of Gotham City's Slaughter Swamp. In the moment before sinking under the mud, Cyrus Gold cursed his murderers and swore to God, he would somehow be revenged. Since the event soon became a legend, there have been many other versions of this story, but the main content is the same: Gold was killed and his body sunk into the swamp.

Over the next fifty years, Gold's skeleton lay at the swamp's bottom, accumulating decaying leaves, rotting wood, and other debris, and gradually formed into a gigantic creature that somehow imitated a strange form of pseudo-life.

In 1944, this creature rose from the swamp, with tremendous strength and some dormant memories that for example allowed him to speak English, but not knowing what he was, and not remembering Cyrus Gold or his fate. Wandering throughout the swamp, he encountered two escaped criminals, killed them, and took their clothes. Shortly thereafter, he met a group of men in a hobo camp. When they asked him his name, he simply muttered that he had been born on Monday. Reminded of an old nursery rhyme about a man born on Monday, the thugs named the creature "Solomon Grundy", and impressed by his great strength, took him on a crime spree throughout Gotham City.

Combat Tactics: Grundy will usually focus his attention on one particular target, trying to pound that his opponent into submission. He'll rarely evade, and never saves an action.

Notes: Grundy's power levels vary wildly depending on who's writing him. In some cases Batman was able to take him down, while in others, he could go toe-to-toe with Superman.

I kind of liked Dr.Light from Identity Crisis. It made you think about issues like "Just because we can do something, should we?"

granted it's not V&V type heroes but it was a good story

Darkseid rocks.

Where did you find his actual name? I haven't been able to find it in any reference material

As for the dark gritty manner of Identity Crisis. I like to see dark on occasion. It just so happens I am into Batman heavily right now, still trying to beat Arkham Asylum on the hard difficulty level. Not doing so well

Mike wrote on May 10^th, 2010 at 1:51pm:


I try to keep a simple approach, that I think fits within V&V established parameters, and not reinvent the wheel every time I work someone up. Plus, several of you guys have given me suggestions that actually work better than what I come up with, and I incorporate them into the writeups.

Origin/Background: “Gentleman Jim” Craddock was a notorious highwayman and robber who terrorized the good citizens of England. He journeyed to the U.S in the late 1800’s where he encountered the gunslingers Nighthawk and Cinnamon in the American West. The hotheaded Nighthawk captured the criminal and ended his life with a noose and gallows, but Craddock transcended death as a surprisingly cultured phantom.

The Gentleman Ghost would henceforth wander the Earth until the spirit of his killer moved onto the next plane of existence. Unfortunately for Craddock, Nighthawk and Cinnamon were reborn incarnations of Egyptian royals Prince Khufu and Chay-Ara, and thus their souls could not truly die. Both were eventually reincarnated as Hawkman and Hawkgirl, and the Gentleman Ghost became their recurring nemesis.

Combat Tactics/M.O.:

Personality/Character Traits:

Notes: This is the "original" ghost version of Gentleman Ghost. Over the years, new writers have added additional abilities to his bag of tricks, including the ability to teleport, travel to another dimension, render any body part coming into contact with him deathly cold (Body Power), summon a flame shooting spectral cane (Magical Special Weapon), and summon a fire breathing demon like black horse (Pet). GMs should feel free to tack on any of these additional abilities at will.

I think you might be thinking of "Scar Face". Here's a pic of him.

 

The pudgy middle aged guy is actually the one in charge of the Scar Face dummy. He's got a split personality, and voices his "evil" personality through the dummy sitting in his lap. Here's a quote on them.

"Scarface is the dominant evil personality of the ventriloquist Arnold Wesker. He communicates solely through a ventriloquist's dummy modeled after a Prohibition-Era gangster. Enemies of the Batman, they both first appeared in Detective Comics#583."

Origin/Background: Dr. Arthur Light and Dr. Jacob Finlay both young scientists in the S.T.A.R. Labs Light Technology Department, were an inseparable pair. Jacob, far more than Arthur, was extremely protective of their research and insisted that it be used in the cause of good and morality. Unbeknownst to Jacob, Arthur had been illegally selling other S.T.A.R. secrets to a powerful corporate raider. One night, Arthur was caught pilfering further lab technology by a new superhero calling himself Dr. Light. Dr. Light tried to capture Arthur-and then, once he got a clear look at Arthur's face seemed to recognize him and mysteriously set him free.

Reflecting on the incident later that night, Arthur realized that Jacob was Dr. Light and that he had been helping himself to their technology in order to create a superhero Identity. Knowing Jacob's secret made Arthur even more reluctant to fulfill the new request of his corporate benefactor- who demanded that Arthur find and turn over the secret of Dr. Light's powers.

The next morning, in the shambles of the lab torn apart during his battle with Dr. Light, Arthur began to confront Jacob about their mutual situations when an electrical short in their equipment caused a laser to lash out toward Jacob, disintegrating him in a blinding flash. Arthur assumed that Jacob would no longer be a part of his life-an assumption that turned out to be anything but true when Jacob's ghost began haunting Arthur whenever the lights went out, blaming Arthur for his death. Arthur continued to be terrorized by the vengeful spirit of his former friend until he accidentally came across Jacob's Dr. Light outfit, hidden in the lab. In a panic, Arthur used its light-ray beams against Jacob's ghost. He immediately discovered that light, in any form, was his one defense against the spirit, and Arthur took the costume and weaponry for his own protection.

As Dr. Light, Arthur became intoxicated with his new found power and decided to use it for personal gain.

*Notes* - This is Dr. Light before they went and turned him into a rapist in Identity Crisis. :3pissed:

Dr. Light originally drew his powers from a specially designed suit, but over the years, his powers became innate abilities. During the Underworld Unleashed mini series, he and several other villains, got MAJOR power boost, but the writers at DC seem to have either ignored, or forgotten about it. During the Identity Crisis mini, he and his abilities were retconned once again. Not long after IC he was shown taking on the entire membership of the Teen Titans, including Superboy. During the battle he displayed several new abilities, including being able to absorb light and energy. I've chosen to stick with the basics.
