Next up, The Villian. He likes to call himself ‘The Potentate’, but for me to do so would be pandering to his egocentric god-complex, so I’ll just call him James Neilson. He’s able to communicate with any technology that uses the EM spectrum which allows him access to pretty much anything he wants, in the world. There’s this thing called the internet, see. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it…
He worked at a facility in Switzerland producing bio-technology that could give the user superhuman abilities, but one evening he found the security was down, and couldn’t resist grabbing a power for himself. Having always looked to machines as the friends he never had, James became a technopath, changing the course of history forever.
See, he’s the source of all of the other character’s abilities, having sent the power generators to each of them, and hundreds more. Though always arrogant, the power pushed him over the edge, and when his new-found hedonism failed to satisfy he realised he wanted companions on ‘his level’, not mere mortals, and set his plan into action. He would bless these frail creatures with power from above. He would bestow them with his merciful gifts. How could they not love him in return? How could they not worship?!
