Background lore

2014 the world had it's most devastating disaster known to man, a cosmic storm hit earth with dire consequences causing widespread blackouts due to electrical failure. The cosmic storm was highly radiative and was trapped in earth's atmosphere for many years which came to be called the chaos years. Nothing was ever the same as society pretty much collapsed and hundreds of millions of people died but the cosmic radiation also had an effect on a genetic level for many people causing them to gain mutations and special abilities with the greatest effect being seen in children these people would become to be known as superhumans. After the chaos years had ended a new society eventually grew from the ashes and with the cosmic storm finally gone after 8 long years the world would begin to rebuild anew. 10 years after the cosmic storm devastation the Hero Society was formed by a man known as Ultra, Ultra founded the Hero Society to try to combat the numbers of criminals with mutant abilities and gathered like minded people who would become heroes, with Ultra at the head of Hero Society Daigon City started to improve and saw the amount of criminals drop.

Mr. Monocle

Origin Story

Once a wealthy businessman and heir to a vast fortune, Mr. Monocle, formerly known as Reginald Worthington III, was always fascinated by the power of money and influence. He climbed the ranks of society through manipulation, bribes, and exploiting legal loopholes. As he accumulated more wealth, his desire for control grew, leading him to become one of the most feared power brokers in the world.

Personality and Motivations

Mr. Monocle is calculating, and always three steps ahead of his opponents. He’s driven by an insatiable need for power and control, viewing the world as a giant chessboard where he’s the only true player playing with himself. His motivation grows from a deep belief that the wealthy and powerful should rule the world, and he sees himself as the rightful ruler.

Catchphrase: "Why break the law when you can shape it?"

Appearance

Always impeccably dressed in a tailored black long suit, complete with a top hat and his signature monocle. The monocle is not just for show; it’s a high-tech device that can scan documents, hack into systems, and provide real-time information about anyone he encounters. An Apple Vision we wanted lol

Mr. Monocle exudes an aura of wealth and sophistication, making him charming and disarming to those who underestimate him. People tent to accept him like a rich kind uncle, but in reality he is psychopath.

Powers

While Mr. Monocle doesn’t have traditional superpowers, his abilities are rooted in his vast wealth and influence:

• Legal Manipulation: He has an army of lawyers at his disposal, capable of twisting laws to suit his needs.

• Bribery and Corruption: He can bribe officials, manipulate markets, and control the media to maintain his power.

• Debt Control: Using financial leverage, he controls numerous individuals and corporations, ensuring they remain loyal or face financial collapse.

He might not physically hurt anyone directly, but his actions have far-reaching and often devastating consequences. His most merciless tools are laws, bribes, and debts, making him a formidable and feared villain in the comic book world.

Just about asked for a new villian and here we go !

So usually I would go massive monster, Elden ring boss level bad guys, but this one came to me and needed to be drawn.
It is a little more reserved than my normal but no less surreptitious !
I introduce to you, The Idealist, he is a child of a worn torn Country, seeing his family and loved ones blown up around him in a war over power and greed and land !
His abilities showed themselves when he was early in his life, at 10 he managed to get a foster parent who had been mistreating him to jump in to a raging river, being lost to the tide.
He knew then that this was no coincedence.
over time the Idealist's power grew and he honed his craft, he could manipulate more than one person at a time, he could make it seem like the ideas were the original ideas of the person, like he was never there at all, but he would know.

using his abilities he garnered power and money, moving from corporate fame in to the world of politics and there he looks to establish dominance and control.
This is where we find him today, on the edge of ceasing power and on the verge of taking a step closer to his goal.

Villian name: The Idealist.
Real name : Linus Corf
Powers: Telepathic suggestion, this can be as simple as a thought or a whole plan, this can last a second or the person can be made to believe these ideas are there own and carry them out to the end.
Aim: to achieve ultimate power and thus bring about peace by any means, even if that means to manipulate everyone alive so that peace can be achieved.
Weaknesses: physically the Idealist is less than average for strength, stamina and physical prowess, making him easy to break physically.

My villains name is the dark plague.

origanilly he was just an ordinary man going by his day named Calum, all his life he had been bullied by all of his colleagues.one awful night those evil people shoved him into a hazmat suit as the acid trapped inside the suit formed with his skin bonding him to the suit.

This ends up causing him an indescribable amount of anger and that causes his corrupt and almost psychotic personality and characteristics as he will torture his victims before putting their misery to an end.

Calum was already a very smart man so when he turned evil he created many torture devices including his most used acid rifle.One more signature weapon was his blade of destruction which he spent 2 months forging from scraps he could find while in hiding from the public.

His costume is a yellow tone with red glass eyes, a black mask and black zipper.His avid gun is mostly consisted with colours of grey, black, green and yellow.

My Image is AI Generated.

Hugsy the Heartbreaker was a therapist who was renowning for his empathy and his ability to connect with his clients, however after a car crash that gave hugsy a brain injury, this changed his brain chemistry to the point where his empathy was still there however he had no conscious and only wanted evil in the world

He was excellent and seeing vulnerability and insecurities in his clients and he kepts his friends close but his enemies even closer. Ending therapy with clients is supposed to be a happy moment. Hugsy hugged his clients at the end of their final session and stabbed them with a dagger during this hug.

His confidential work meant no one know who was commiting these crimes, he captured people's hearts by seeming like a careable and loveable person only to use his skills to manipulate and take advantage of people

He is warm and charming on the outside but cold and calculating within and he loves getting people trust and shattering their hearts, each heart shattered, each client murdered is a trophy for him. His motivation is that he wants to put people out of their misery, believing empathy and vulnerabilty is a weakness that needs to be destroyed

Catchphrase

I will make you feel your pain

His traits and feature, Hugsy is very warm and kind and has an uncanny ability to make people safe, understoof and feel safe,

The heartfelt hug before plunging a hidden dagger into them is his signature move and he wears a heartshaped brooch that discreetly keeps his dagger hidden

He has no supernatural powers similar to batman but his human ability to manipulate others is a superpower in itself, he knows so much about the human mind he can almost predict the future by predicting how people react, giving him and advantage over everyone he interacts with,

His costume is designed to disarm and comfort the people he wants to manipulate, however the red also shows his bloody intentions and his face mask his smiling but his brooch mask is crying showing that when people meet him they will be happy but when they get close to him they will be upset and maybe murdered
