Villains
There are many reasons why people choose a life of villainy. For some, it is greed and the endless pursuit of wealth. For others, there is an unquenchable thirst for power. Some desire nothing more than to cause agony or sow chaos. Still others have noble intentions at heart, yet care little for the law. There are some villains who even claim they are not bad at all, but simply misunderstood. Whatever their motivation, villains share one thing in common: they always place the interests of themselves above the interests of others. When this attitude combines with super-powered abilities, the results can be devastating.

Glut (35/2/6) - Foul Stench[]
Vile, disgusting, revolting and degenerate, Glut manages to personify all that is repulsive in the world.

His stench is toxic, and his projectile vomit can melt skin off bones. He takes a perverted interested in corrupting innocents, and his past crimes are too horrific to speak of.

Hydra (60/3/7) - Petrify[]
Mythological stories and legends are rife with sea monsters, but Hydra is no myth. Little is known about her, for most who encounter her do not live to tell. Hydra is extremely difficult to track because she lives in the deepest oceans. She surfaces only now and then to terrorize ships at sea, sinking them to feed on human flesh.
Judge Grudge (40/1/5) - Condemn[]
What makes a good judge? Clear, objective reasoning, knowledge of the law, and courtroom control. Judge Grudge wanted to be the best, so he took any help he could get, including mental boosts offered by Dr. Leer. The enhancers worked, but too well. They gave Judge Grudge the power to shake the earth with his mind, and to never forget anything. Pure memory turned out to be pure pain for the Judge. Pain turned into hatred. Now the world is his courtroom, and everyone in it is GUILTY!

Malady (30/1/6) - Wilting Touch[]
Hundreds of years ago, gypsies placed a curse on Malady's family: the eldest female child of all descendents would kill anything she touches at the onset of puberty. Most of her ancestors smothered their first female infant, but Malady's mother could not bear this pain. Instead, she prayed to her God to release the curse. She died at the withering hands of her 13 year old daughter.

Nephestu (65/3/7) - Stormcaller[]
Once a follower of faith in natural harmony and protecting Earth, Nephestu grew tired of worshipping others. He now uses his powers to crush those who refuse to bow to him.

Instead, his body was enhanced with incredible reflexes and a poisonous bite.
Surge (100/4/8) - Sadistic Glee[]
Surge has a sense of humor that fits his power perfectly: He absorbs kinetic energy from attacks, and uses that energy to grow stronger.
