Stanley Teriaca Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 This villain is named The Golden Hand. What powers would you suggest he have? Note: his powers might not have anything to do with his name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 (edited) Something about That name and that cloak that evokes the pulp mastervillains. I am going to start with"Mezmerization," possibly with the aid of radoactive "Mesmer Dust".....

Rich McGee Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 In my games he'd be the arch-nemesis of my haunted nanobot swarm Midas over here. Started out as a fairly basic technopath who could mentally control machines, but after a close encounter with some of Midas' subordinate nodes he took them over entirely and re-formed them into malleable body plating that can also extend itself into tendrils for added reach and mobility. Golden Hand's mental powers make him a major threat to any sapient machine. The main mass of the Midas nanoswarm can hold him off, but any divided sub-nodes lack the networked processing power to resist takeover for long, especially at close range. That makes Midas' main trick - deploying specialized duplicates for specific tasks - worse than useless since they're just easy prey for his foe, feeding him more nanomachines to work with. Things aren't all great for the Golden Hand though. The sub-nodes he dominated came with their own haunting spirits tied to them and his technopathy can't do a thing to control them - and they've latched onto him in much the same way they did Midas and won't let go. The guy now has dozens of unquiet spirits making demands on him, and as an organic being with a soul to torment those demands are much harder to resist than they are for a cloud of nanobots. His physical prowess has improved greatly and grows the more of Midas he overwhelms, but it comes at the cost of unwelcome and even alien compulsions that now drive many of his schemes. Some of those spirits "just " want their deaths avenged, but others have greater plans of their own - particularly those from pre-human sorcerous civilizations who dream of returning their species to life or calling on their long-forgotten gods. Interesting coincidence to turn up such a perfect counter to an entirely unconnected hero. Stanley Teriaca 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Teriaca Posted August 21 Author Report Share Posted August 21 From my Deviant art series of fake light novels called "Damsel High School". The Golden Hand was once the primer Villain actor in the indistry. In the world where being a villain, hero, and damsel in distress are jobs and not what they are in our world. He is currently the principal of Villain High School. Unforcently his son has decided to follow his mother's profession as a damsel (that's him in the dress) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
