Example Villains

>Villain Alias: ​ ​ Blood Red / Wolfsbane >Civilian Name: ​ ​ Alexandra Alli / Hugh Dahl >Powers: ​ ​ None / Lycanthropy, superhuman strenght, endurance and agility that are magnified with his rage. >Allies and Minions: Each other, unknown benefactor(?) (Painkiller? Someone higher up?) ​ ​ >Resources: ​ ​ Somewhere around thousands in stolen gold and gewgaws, trinkets and gadgets borrowed from higher end villains (which Blood Red will happily use) and more than a couple favors to call in from the last. >Status: ​ ​ In a relationship >Evil Plot: ​ ​ None, really. Wolfsbane is just some hired muscle and Red is his enabler, and even then she seems to be simply in for the thrills of watching her boyfriend be cool, be bad and beat up all the wimps from school. If there's some evil plot cooking up somewhere upstairs, it would be trivially easy for any enterprising mastermind to hire Red and Wolf to carry it out. She's all eager to get in the show and he's too broken to say no. >Secret info ​ Red is brainwashed. Hugh inadvertently called in a favor for someone who had an interest in genie dickery to help him make his crush want to go out with him. He got just what he wanted, now his girlfriend got the idea of dressing up like a psycho Red Riding Hood and dragging him to cause carnage, and he can't bring himself to stop anymore since he's in too deep.

>Villain Alias: The Benefactor ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Benedict "Ben" Black ​ ​ >Powers: Brainwashing via physical contact, kept ​ ​ closely secret. Prolonged lifespan (which he claims is his only metahuman power) >Allies and Minions: The Foundation's personal ​ ​ security force, the secretive elite 'Foundation Operatives', brainwashed villains and an assortment of european superheroes who relies on the Foundation for funding and are unaware of the Foundation's dark secrets.

>Resources: As one of the world's richest men, Benedict can fund a lot of superheroes and still ​ ​ have enough to be able to maintain a large security force, laboratories working on a variety of projects, as well as secrets that the Foundation don't want anyone else to know about. The Benefactor Foundation's public reception is positive and most people don't realize the truth behind it. >Status: Active. ​ ​ >Evil Plot: The Benefactor is a visionary who sees a world where villains don't exist, ​ ​ anti-metahuman organizations are history, and all metahumans are united to fight for the world against humanity's enemies. And he will achieve that vision by any means possible, even if he must force villains and troublesome anti-metahuman activists to change. Also, he is a staunch xenophobe who hates "these filthy outworlders" (spoken in secret and not publicly), so he wants them off his planet too, even the Earthborn ones. >Secret Info: While he don't feel any sort of guilt using his power to forcibly reform villains and ​ ​ make anti-metahuman groups accepting of his people, he refuses to use it against anyone else, and would most certainly feel genuine crushing guilt would he be forced to. Short-term (defined by 1 year in this case) brainwashing can be undone if Benedict is knocked out by physical force.

>Villain Alias: Bogeyman ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Gnarr Grimm ​ ​ >Powers: Boogeyman, Shape Shifting, Innate knowledge of ​ ​ people's fears, Closet teleportation (can teleport from closet to closet). >Allies and Minions: None, or at the very least as far as he is ​ ​ concerned. Maybe someone out there want him to succeed? >Resources: In his case, closets is the only real resource he ​ ​ needs. If you have a closet in your house and you haven't sealed it, he can easily access it. Other than that, he knows exactly how to exploit someone's fear. >Status: Semi-active, he's not as active as he used to be ​ ​ because he learned the hard way that there's people out there who can punch him harder than he can terrorize them, so he's trying to limit his terror campaigns to those less capable of getting someone to punch him or doing the punching. >Evil Plot: Where there's no hard feelings involved with the average boogeyman (they're ​ ​ sustained by fear, so they have to go spook someone now and then), Gnarr is an unusually sadistic boogeyman who torments both kids and adults alike for twisted entertainment. Where the average boogeyman spooks for survival (and maybe a little bit of fun), Gnarr spooks largely for sports.

>Secret Info: Because of his experience with the superhero who punched him and made him ​ ​ crawl back into The Other Side of the Closet, Gnarr has, ironically, developed a fear of his own toward superheroes. He's not very by students normally (since they're not technically superheroes, yet) but he can be scared if he witnesses them performing selfless acts of heroism. If he's sufficiently scared, he will start losing control of his shapeshifting, thereby ruining his ability to exploit people's fears.

>Villain Alias: Paladin ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Arthur Blake ​ ​ >Powers: Creates "auras" around ​ ​ himself or objects he touches, increasing durability and providing explosive reactions to damage. Heavy channeling results in discoloration. >Allies and Minions: Sometimes ​ ​ works with The Miracle. Has a small group of hanger-ons due to his anti-villain persona, and a few favors he can call in. >Resources: Supertech armor, ​ ​ kickass motorcycle. >Status: Licking his wounds and planning a big move. ​ ​ >Evil Plot: Paladin styles himself as a protector of the common man against corporate ​ ​ corruption and a crusader against tyranny. In reality, he's a terrorist that doesn't kill normies. His plans don't usually involve the school, due to attacking a school being bad publicity, but he's willing to attack it for an unknown purpose. >Secret Info: His daughter was trapped in a temporal loop several years ago in the crossfire of ​ ​ a battle with a corporate cape team. He's gotten wind of Goodbye (if her powers are increasing, then this part definitely) or some other students (Noir, maybe), and is going to kidnap them in order to break the loop one way or another. Doesn't have a way to avoid the death aura, doesn't really care. Desperate, but puts on a strong menacing front.

>Villain Alias: Dr. Destruction ​ ​ >Powers: Super Intelligence, Genetically Enhanced Body, ​ ​ Super Suit >Allies and Minions: A swarm of vat grown mutants with ​ ​ advanced technology, advanced robots, several vilians he bent to his cause. >Resources: Hidden laboratories under several major cities, a ​ ​ massive compound hidden somewhere in the rainforests of Brazil. >Status: Active ​ ​ >Evil Plot: World Domination and the Elimination of ​ ​ unpowered untermensch. >Bio: Was the child super scientist Wunderkind who worked ​ ​ for Nazi Germany supplying them with wonder weapon after wonder weapon and dozens of super soldiers. After the war he dodged dozens of western and Communist agents to flee to South America. There, for decades he worked in secret reemerging in the 80s as the world's greatest super-threat. He's personally killed four members of the Champions of Earth. So far his plans have been thwarted repeatedly through luck, team work and the sacrifices dozens of superheroes. He never remains defeated for long always emerging after a few years, stronger than ever with a new plan for world domination. It's been almost a decade since his last plot. Maybe he was finally defeated. Maybe he is just bidding his time. >Secret Information: He has made himself immortal through self experimentation, but the pain ​ ​ and 84 years of stress and seclusion have twisted his mind. He already has the resources necessary to destroy the globe several times over. His "attacks" are just a means of testing the current generation is superheroes. He's been quietly promoting the expansion of super powers across the globe. Each generation developing powers more spectacular than the last. Once he is finally satisfied with the results, he plans to kill himself and all of unpowered humanity, seeing himself as a twisted sort of Moses figure. He has taken a special interest in Super Hero High and will soon be administering another test, to the newest generation.

>Villain Alias: King Kane ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Karl von Kane ​ ​ >Powers: Master of sorcery, science and sorcerous science. Has ​ ​ a number of various magitech, from his heavily armed combat

armour that resists most supernatural energies and grant him superhuman strength, agility and durability, or his seemingly unending army of Kanebots. Skilled statesman. Highly charismatic >Allies and Minions: His Kanebots; the villains ​ ​ >Resources: The whole country of Schattenwald behind him ; the aid of supernatural entities ​ ​ he has contracted and villains that accept to work for him from time to time. >Status: Active; currently king of Schattenwald and principal of the Kane Institute ​ ​ >Story/Evil Plot: No one knows what his origins are. Only that one day, in the small European ​ ​ republic of Schatterwald, he showed up and served as the local superhero as simply Kane. But as he quickly grew in popularity, the corrupt president of Schattenwald, fearing he might be a threat to his influence, sent his soldiers to violently repress an otherwise peaceful fan gathering. People died that day, and where once there was heroic nobility in Kane, there was now hatred for humanity's greed and self-destructive ways. When he made himself King after a lightning coup, he swore that he would make things right and declared that the world would know no respite as long as the world didn't become the utopia he envisioned under his rulership. What followed are years and years of duking with the Champions of Earth in his many attempts to take over the world, but protected by diplomatic impunity and the support of his people for him, his rule having made the country more prosperous that it ever was, he's pretty much untouchable. While insufferably prideful and arrogant, he has a strict code of honour and a form of twisted respect for superheroes that can go toes to toes with him and their "purity of purpose", as he calls it. Don't mistake it for a moral dilemma tho, he *will* eliminate everything that stands in his way unless you convince him it has a place in his vision of the future. Has founded the Kane Institute, the so-called 13th super school for Schattenwaldians super teens, that many fear might be a secret villain school. Sees All American II has his archnemesis.

>Villain Alias: The Miracle ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Unknown ​ ​ >Powers: False Divine Nature (cannot be killed or severely ​ ​ injured, resistance or immunity to many powers, inconstant appearance, sense of "wrongness"/supernatural auras), vague and inconsistent array of powers. >Allies and Minions: None ​ ​ >Resources: the clothes on it's back. ​ ​ >Status: Currently switching between villains to serve as a ​ ​ minion. >Evil Plot: ??? ​ ​ >Bio: The Miracle was first seen in a small fishing town on the ​ ​ eastern seaboard of the US in the middle of a Kaiju attack. It brought twenty two students of a destroyed school back to life, as well as granting them enough powers to destroy the Kaiju,

earning it the name The Miracle. After that, it's wandered across the North American continent, seemingly keeping a low profile and avoiding all of the scientists flipping out over it's existence. Despite occasionally revealing top tier abilities, it uses any powers rarely (preferring to use hand to hand combat/martial arts), and never repeated it's first feat, leading many to claim it never actually had the powers to do those things in the first place. An urban legend that seems to be a complete black box. It's hung around the school for a half a year now, and it seems to be waiting for something. Mostly seems to involve itself with petty crime or working low-level retail jobs for cash. An urban legend. >it enjoys being helpful, and is generally enthusiastic, but tends to move on from people after a time. Usually doesn't use powers to 'help', but it might. >it's currently working in a fast food joint near Super High. Nobody really questions it for some reason (why? weird shit just being so normal, or some sort of aura?) >occasionally shows up as a mook for the villain of the week, jobs to whoever's fighting it. Actually pretty decent at hand to hand, but "without powers" it's not that useful >Secret Info: Across the three talks that capes managed to get with it, The Miracle has ​ ​ revealed some unsettling information. It claims to not actually possess any powers, which was detected as a half-truth. It also claimed that it was guided by the hand of "God", but didn't elaborate further. Of the Miraculous Twenty Two, only three are supposedly alive today. Nobody can explain it besides horrific misfortune or a curse - or them never existing in the first place.

>Villain Alias: Vanquisher ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Serafina Salazar ​ ​ >Powers: Shooter Protagonist: pulls guns from seemingly nowhere, ​ ​ near-infinite ammo, passive regeneration, super-toughness, superhuman marksmanship, superhuman agility >Allies and Minions: Vanquisher Security Consulting, her PMC full of ​ ​ soldiers and agents outfitted with bleeding-edge military technology >Resources: Money, island base, a near-infinite arsenal of firearms of all ​ ​ types and ammunition designed to be used against superhumans. >Status: Active and at large ​ ​ >Evil Plot: Vanquisher and her soldiers are villains-for-hire for now. She'll ​ ​ hire herself out to anyone who promises cash and violence. Anything from raiding and shooting up a corporate facility to taking out a team of superheroes is just fine in her book. Her crew is a crack team who avert most of the classic mook blunders: they obey the buddy system and are quick to call for backup when they're in over their heads. Somehow, the rank-and-file never seem to get around to dying in the line of duty. Employee casualties are strictly against company policy.

>Secret Info: Vanquisher has a vendetta against Kouichirou Mitsurugi, whose previous sidekick ​ ​ she killed but who escaped before she could fill him with bullet holes. She's interested in having a rematch with him, but not until he regains his fighting spirit. >Example Plots: ​ ​ >A friend of the PCs who dialed the wrong number looking for a drug transaction accidentally hired Vanquisher. Now that the deed's done, she wants her money, and if her client can't pay, then they'll become her next target. >Vanquisher has decided that the best way to get Kouichirou back into fighting shape is by killing his students, starting with the PCs. >A local villain the PCs have been bedeviling has gone for broke by dumping all of their remaining resources into hiring Vanquisher. They'd better be ready for the fight of their lives.

>Villain Alias: ​ ​ lesser envoy of the complex >Civilian Name: ​ ​ n/a >Powers: ​ ​ techokinesis, mind reading, technomancy. Has body made of energy crystals and living quantum compounds, and its consciousness can return to its home after death. >Allies and Minions: ​ ​ lance-protoforms >Resources: ​ ​ giant hidden spaceship, many minions, tachyon lance. >Status: ​ ​ very far away >Evil Plot: ​ ​ arrives with a very strict energy budget and a singular goal. This goal varies from instance to instance, usually it is to destroy a specific part of the planet (eg: the magnetic field, the fey lines), to steal a valuable item or to defeat the mightiest heroes. Arrival is usually noticed weeks in advance, and is arrogant enough to challenge the entire world to try to stop it, and to chastice mankind for its imperfect ways. >Secret Info: is willing to ally with mankind against anything eldritch or demonic, but only after ​ ​ being soundly beaten by the latter or if it personally witness the former. Can pass for human, but really doesn't want to.

>Villain Alias: Satellite ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Major Dugan ​ ​ >Powers: flight, telepathy, technological ​ ​ interfacing, super human physique >Allies and Minions: anti alien radicals ​ ​ >Resources: none personally. the syndicalist anti ​ ​ alien groups regularly recruit and equip him however. >Status: serving sentence. ​ ​ >Evil Plot: Kill aliens. dugan spends much of his ​ ​ time flying in orbit, using his telepathic and sattalite intercepting powers to find alien ships and terrorizing earths space-traveler populous en route to or from the planet. Has a notable hatred of >>74405074 in particular, and has slain her multiple times. Got locked up after a botched attack on a cultural exchange being held on Japan’s moonbase. >Personal Info: Never served. Owes immense amounts in child support rears. ​ ​

>Villain Alias: Long War ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Rico Morrison (#418) ​ ​ >Powers: Regeneration, Super Human Intellect ​ ​ >Allies and Minions: anti alien radicals. business associates. ​ ​ Politicians. Supers & Villains. >Resources: Extensive influence and assets across a wide ​ ​ range of locals and their businesses. Personal underground facilities where he develops his weapons and maintains his clones. >Status: Active. ​ ​ >Evil Plot: Rico served in the moonwars like his father before him, passing up a wellspring of ​ ​ offers and opportunities to fight the alien menace that had once and still struck out against his home, against earth. When the war ended, and peace was made, Rico silently refused to accept it. He saw the failures of the compromise that now perforates all of society, and he knows where it will all lead to further down the road. With the same young face he turned to the stars in battles now long past, Rico now faces the future against the alien menace, closings in on it from all angles, as his hated foes would all of earth and its native beauties. >Personal Info: Loves animals and Wild life, spends much of his leisure time in parks and ​ ​ reserves named after himself. Has lost thousands of clones in his wars with aliens, both public and clandestine. #418 is the earliest copy still living.

>Villain Alias: Wicked Witch ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Viviana Veres (Corrupted) ​ ​ >Powers: Black Magic, curses, demon summoning, manipulating ​ ​ shadows, and afflictions amplifying negative emotions. >Allies and Minions: Demons of both lesser and greater kind. ​ ​ >Resources: The patron demon's influence also extends to other ​ ​ demons, making it rather trivial for summoned demons to obey Viviana. >Status: Inactive, but the risk of Vivi falling to demonic corruption is ​ ​ always there. >Evil Plot: The Wicked Witch is a thrall to the demon, and as such ​ ​ her motives and goals align with the demon's by default. Generally, the demon's plot involves wanton destruction and corruption of mortals. >Secret Info: The demon's power and efforts, great it might be, isn't enough to keep Vivi away ​ ​ from being able to slightly influence her body on a subconscious level. Someone with psychic powers might be able to probe the Wicked Witch's mind and help Vivi regain control of herself. It is also possible to halt the Wicked Witch and undo the corruption by trying to draw out happy memories.

>Villain Alias: Black Heat ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Jorge Cordoba ​ ​ >Powers: He can control his body temperature and the temperature of anything ​ ​ he touches, he normally fights with a gun because his power also affects him negatively >Allies and Minions: None ​ ​ >Resources: Just a bunch of stolen money and some financial help from his ​ ​ ex-wife >Status: Trying to form a rivalry with his youngest son ​ ​ >Evil Plot: None, he just likes beating random people up, and stealing stuff is a ​ ​ bonus >Backstory: Originally became a villain to spite his heroic dad, but after a month ​ ​ of doing it he realized that villainy was fun and easy to do, he went by many

aliases and many outfits and was arrested at least twice, his oldest son cut ties with him, he sees his youngest son as a possible rival.

>Villain Alias: The Menace ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Goose(???) ​ ​ >Powers: Enhanced Speed, Stealth Expertise, Silent ​ ​ Movement, Phasing (but not with organic matter). >Allies and Minions: None. ​ ​ >Resources: Just its extensive knowledge of the ​ ​ campus layout and the school schedule. >Status: Active. ​ ​ >Evil Plot: The Menace is a mysterious superpowered goose that appears to torment the ​ ​ campus, especially the teachers. Using its powerset, it will infiltrate the school and make life a bit more frustrating for everyone involved by doing mischievous things like disorganizing the school files, moving objects around, and generally ruining some unfortunate person's day. If you're reading a book, look away for five seconds and then see that the book has disappeared, you're most likely being targeted by The Menace. There's a reason why it's known as the Devil of the Campus. >Secret Info: Many years ago, a random goose was kicked by Rothgow who had a particularly ​ ​ bad day and let his built-up frustration get the better of him. That goose had never forgotten, and it had never forgiven the principal's trangressions that day. If Rothgow could be convinced to apologize to the goose and ask for forgiveness, then perhaps the goose will leave peacefully and never return to menace the students or the faculty.

>Organization Membership: Interdimensional Psychic ​ ​ Vampire Coalition. >Registered Members: 801 (1) ​ ​ >Villain Alias: Lamia ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Valeria Weaver ​ ​ >Powers: Regeneration, immortality (can grow entire new ​ ​ body from severed limbs). Super human physique. Telepathy. Dimensional Travel.

>Allies and Minions: none ​ ​ >Resources: limited. struggling for funding. Works thousands of part time jobs. ​ ​ >Status: Active. ​ ​ >Evil Plot: Revive her master, a millennia old vampire. ​ ​ dodge the Super IRS. Launder money. Defraud charities, government, kids with lemonade stands etc. Expand her organizations membership (current membership, 801. Current membership besides her: 0). She’s secretly enrolled two of her clones in Super High School, undercover as twin sisters. >Background: a young synthetic organism ​ ​ abandoned/hidden away on a far off and desolate planet. All Valeria had to keep her sane on its desolate empty surface was the memory of her vampiric creator, and his dream of crushing earth beneath an endless cloak of night. In this isolation, her powers matured, even as her sanity wained. Her voice atrophied until she could no longer speak, but gained the ability to psychically probe her surroundings. Her flesh hardened and removed all imperfections, even as it deadened all sensation. She grew in size and psychic might. She learned to spawn and produce genetic copy’s of herself from nothing but will and severed appendages. Thusly she also learned of hunger and the taste of blood and flesh. Finally, after the planet had been subsumed beneath the multitude of herself and her clones, the original Valeria in her yearning for her master let out a great psychic sigh, and appeared over his coffin back on earth. >Secrets: Is a clone of her masters deceased daughter, tampered with genetically by his ​ ​ powerful sorcery’s and dark arts, and further mutated by the environment of the planet she was left on. Has lost a lot of weight since she arrived on earth and stopped spending all her free time cloning and devouring herself. Still secretly addicted to the taste of her own flesh and blood. It’s still the Tastiest stuff she’s ever eaten. Quick to anger, and not very bright. Prone to throwing fits and psychic shrieking.

>Villain Alias: "The Rose" @RosieSummers - on Twitter, ​ ​ Instagram, TikTok, OnlyFans etc >Civilian Name: Rosie Annabelle Summers ​ ​ >Powers: Charming Presence ​ ​ >Allies and Minions: Her own clique/bodyguards. ​ ​ >Resources: Rich daddy. People often give her gifts and ​ ​ donate to her OnlyFans.

>Status: Online. ​ ​ >Bio: Her power activated at a young age. At that point, it became impossible for her parents to ​ ​ deny her anything. Everything she ever wanted has been handed to her on a silver platter. After nearly being kidnapped, she learned to keep those who could protect and serve her close. She absolutely thrives on the attention. Anybody capable of overcoming her presence finds themselves singled out by her crowd. She has reached 7 digits of followers on all platforms and will not hesitate to brag about it. >Evil Plot: To become world famous, bigger than the Kardashians. Wants to have an army of ​ ​ adoring fans. >Secret Info: Her power does in fact have an OFF switch. Rosie is unlikely to ever try it, ​ ​ however. She is terrified that people will not like her for who she truly is.

>Villain Alias: Dr. Roboto, Mr. Roboto ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Robert Oberto ​ ​ >Powers: High-level Super Genius. ​ ​ >Allies and Minions: A vast variety of robotic minions. ​ ​ >Resources: Secret robot building laboratories, supertech tools, and ​ ​ emergency supertech weapons. >Status: Active. ​ ​ >Evil Plot: The man responsible for strict international laws on supertech. Dr. ​ ​ Roboto felt oppressed by plans to restrict the distribution and development of supertech, leading Dr. Roboto to fight severely for the freedom of all super geniuses, ironically leading to the laws being implemented anyway. He's also annoyed over T1N8 being taken away from him, and he seeks to bring her back. >Secret Info: His wife and daughter died a long time ago in an accident that ​ ​ was caused by a battle between a supervillain and a superhero. He does not bear a grudge against these two and he respects his wife's wish to not be replaced with a robot, but his daughter was taken from him too soon. He built T1N8 as a replacement for her, and now he's trying to get her back for sentimental and emotional feelings, as he has come to view T1N8 as a true daughter and not just a robot.

>Villain Alias: Brawling Bullfrog ​ ​ >Civilian Name: Emperor Croak Emphitus IV ​ ​ >Powers: Martial Arts Expertise, Ki Manipulation, Super Speed, Super ​ ​ Strength. >Allies and Minions: Occasionally shows up with a so-called elite retinue of ​ ​ praetorian guardsfrogs. They may be weaker than the average human kid, but they know how to kill with their spears and swords. >Resources: As the so-called emperor of Croakania, he has all the resources ​ ​ he can use from the so-called empire of Croakania. >Status: Active. ​ ​ >Evil Plot: The so-called emperor of a secret society of frog people, Croak ​ ​ Emphitus IV has decided that humanity has ruled Earth long enough, and that it's time for the frogs to rise up. With top tier martial arts skills and the raw power to back it up, this child-sized amphibian should not be underestimated. >Secret Info: Are we absolutely certain he's an actual emperor and not just some random ​ ​ insane super scientist who turned himself into a frogman and uplifted actual frogs to serve as his subjects?
