Description
I’ve been experimenting with various designs ideas, but they rarely come out well on paper since I’m still practicing, but I thought this guy turned out pretty well, so here’s this little supervillain concept, I doubt I’ll ever use this guy for something big, so be free to use it if you want.In The year 2294 a meteor strucked the Earth killing millions of people on impact, completely destroy South America, while noumerous toxins started spreading through the atmosphere. This catastrophy lasted two days.
In the end, the global population was halved, Australia became a toxic wasteland, South America was completely underwater, and Africa’s West coast was destroyed by numerous tsunami caused by the impact. But not it wasn’t just a simple tragedy, this event completely changed the world. In fact those toxic fumes gave few people incredibly psychic abilities, but everyone else started seeing them as abomination and the remaining governments hunted them down. One of those “lucky” few was a three year old boy named Edgar Bloom. Edgar was a smart, quite and reserved boy, and a prodigy in the field of mathematics. He’s father was a renowned chess player while his mother was a researcher, they were against the persecution’s of Psychics, but never came to know that their son was one of them. Edgar discovered his power when he was 9, while hoping that his mother would gave him access to her lab she went to him with a blank stare and gave him his key, freaking out a bit, he asked his mother if there was something wrong and she snapped out of it, with no memory of when she took the key and coming up to her son. She didn’t question it much, but from that point on Edgar’s life would have changed forever. He started testing his power on moths, but every time he tried, the insect would just die. So he tried controlling a mouse he saw running around his mansion ( thanks to his career as a chess player his father gained a considerable fortune). After cornering the little pest Edgar activated his power, but after a lot of pain the mouse started coughing out blood and lied dead on the floor. Edgar was horrified by the experience, but understood that his power couldn’t work properly on every living being, and after the experience with his mother, he also understood that if he knew his target he wouldn’t need to have it in sight. In order to experiment his powers he went to the local zoo, specifically the area reserved for monkeys. After tremendous pain the primate died similarly to the moths and the mouse, from this point things escalated quickly. When Edgar was 15 he started testing on humans, specifically the many homeless people that lived under the super highway, built just before the catastrophe. He was able to controlled some of them, although only one at the time, but most of them horrifically died like Edgar’s previous test subjects. He now fully understood his power: he could control only people with a certain level of IQ the smarter the target is, the easier it can be controlled, but if the target wasn’t smart enough, their brain would be turned to mush, and as long as Edgar knew how his target looked he could control/kill it remotely. Killing didn’t bothered Edgar anymore, he was used to it, but the worst started when he decided to frame a bully at his school, framing him to be a psychic, by killing his entire group of bullies, making it look like some sort of mental outburst. But what most people don’t know is that at the age of 17 Edgar Bloom changed the world, by killing in what seemed to be accidents, every anti psychic leaders of the world. Now psychic could move freely although heavily monitored, but since nobody knew of Edgar’s powers, he could use them freely without a problem. While growing up, Edgar’s ego grew with him, killing or controlling anyone that got in his way until he became the CEO of the worlds most successful IT company: Prometheus Robotics, where he found out he was able to control AI as well. Edgar however didn’t stop there, he understood that he was in a unique position, he had the power to reshape the world, making it a better place, but in order to do that he needed even more influence, and in order to do gain it, he should expand his domain to the criminal underground. So he arranged a costume, built some impressive gadgets, and to honor his father’s passion for chess, he became: Pawn King.
Pawn King’s helmet resembles the head of a king chess piece, and can protect him from attacks from other psychics, under his jackets he hides a swarm of small drones that functions as cameras, that can scan people brainwave to determine if they can be controlled or not, or as hacking devices that connects him to any technological device. Naturally he wouldn’t be a King without an army of pawns, at Prometheus Robotics, every employee firmly believe in Pawn King’s cause while in the criminal underworld, he controls his minion with fear. He became so feared that criminal don’t even dare to say his name. Only his employees know his true identity and he prefers to keep it that way. Unlikely for Edgar there are other psychics in the world that doesn’t really appreciate his methods.
