The Butcher

Some are self-explanatory (Carcharodon), but generally, yes, a quick pitch would be nice.

Silverlion

Here are the major villains that will appear in H&S2E (give or take a few.) I did try and go through the various archetypes found in comics and make sure I covered them very well. Example: Centrifugitive is the career criminal imbued with powers as a scientific experiment, using those to further his still criminal aims. His powers consist of super-speed spinning. Clown Commando is a former military man who has taken his battle against organized crime too far. The clown shtick arises from his origin story and just stuck.

She eventually paid for her abuse of power, dying in one of her schemes, she came back as a magical ghost, who really wants to make people suffer. Has recently allied herself with a being known only as the "Grasping Goddess" who offers her power and life, but is more of a Lovecraftian "evil," than a traditional Goddess.

Each finger ends in a sucking leech like mouth.

Man Squid
Man Squid was one of Commander Crustacean's henchmen, originally he wore a mask that looked like a squid. After being beat down by Lemurians who invaded the Commander's base, they experimented on him and transformer him into a humanoid squid. (Think crazy Mindflayer.) Stronger, more resilient and angry at the Commander, he went out on his own, hiring his services out to variety of aquatic assaults, pirating, and the like.

Drive: Greed/Anger


Sinister Simian and his AssassinApes
The Sinister Simian was an unusually violent  Mountain gorilla who was captured and experimented upon. In his original origin it was by Nazi scientist, revised to be Russian Agents in the 60's, and usually referred to as a corrupt government, in modern appearances. His strength combined with his newly found and very heightened intellect have turned him into a master criminal, out to enslave the world. Unfortunately he has had trouble recruiting human henchman with that attitude and so created his AssassinApes, to serve him. Trained in combat, sabotage, and murder, together they've slowly assassinated rival rulers in a section of Africa and he's made himself a monarch. Currently though border conflicts keep his attention turned inward, but he might again turn back to enslaving humanity and the world. He does hire out squads of his AssassinApes in murder for profit schemes.

He appears as an overly large silverback gorilla with pants, shirt, vest. Often smokes a pipe.


Drive: Megalomania.


Dirge
A "ghostly" murderer who haunts his victims and sings a haunting death song before cold-bloodedly killing them by strangulation. Dirge is actually a scientist who developed a "ghost cloak" which lets him phase, fly, and turn invisible, among many other things. The field the cloak generates is sufficient to hide him from all known mechanical sensors, and normal human senses except for tough. Although dog's can sense him and often how, growl, or bark at his nearness.

Dirge is little more than a brilliant serial killer, with a consistent modus operandi, and sociopathic behaviors.

Drive: Insanity

Imaginaut

Imaginaut claims to be a comic book villain who was brought to life by the strong belief of his fans. Although many clues suggest this isn't true, he sticks by his story, and claims that any similarity to other "real" persons are merely coincidental. Imaginaut in the real world dresses as a pulp-sci fi character with jetpack, helmet, special belt, and ray gun. His ray gun allows him to animate things such as statues, dinosaur models, cardboard cutouts or the like. On one occasion he used the ray to imprison heroes in a comic book about themselves. He has only done this once in all his appearances.


Drive: Control/Insanity

                                 
Mannequin
A possessed store Mannequin, he is made of plastic, metal, and painted to look like a real  (as possible for the age) person. Despite being a Mannequin, he is incredibly resilient and cannot be killed. Damage merely causes him to fall apart. Even destroying the pieces in furnaces is insufficient to stop him as he will possess a new body (which takes on all his old features) within a few days.

Mannequin believes himself to be tortured poetic soul, who must merely find a woman to love to set him free. Unfortunately he doesn't take know for an answer. In the past he has turned the heroine he fell for into another mannequin, set animated mannequins on heroes who intervened, and taken an entire department store hostage with his mannequin armies. The source of his ability to animate others or transform them is unknown, it doesn't seem to be internal to him and takes some time. (He turned his "love interest" into a mannequin overnight.)

Drive: Obsession

Catspaw
Catspaw is a thief for hire. Very simply he sells out his skills to various people in need of his skills. He wears smiling cat button on his clothes, but ordinary dresses in typical attire that suits his current job. He is both burglar and con-man. Using whatever methods, but serious violence to achieve his aims.

He has utilized, knock out bombs, sleight of hand, stun-weapons, and nets, but has never done lasting harm. He quips "I'm just a catspaw, who you really want is the person who hired me, but that's privileged information."

He does fight when necessary, utilizing martial arts, and tricks to get away if possible, he flirts with female heroes/victims, and is genuinely charming, but for the whole master criminal thing.


Drive: Greed.



                                 
Emperor in Jade
A beautiful statue carved in jade, that takes the appearance of one of the ancient Chinese Emperors.  The statue is animated, and seeks to conquer China. Most often comes into conflict with heroes, due to its desire to reclaim Chinese artifacts from museums, private collections, and the like. The Emperor's origin may be supernatural, but it is entirely inconclusive.  On several occasions, he has been freed by mysterious official of the U.S government, due to worries about communist China. Currently his whereabouts are unknown. He is highly protective of China itself, and the Chinese people.



Drive: Megalomania/Guardian

Schitzomorph

A violent schitzophrenic can be a dangerous individual, but in this case, its even worse, because Schitzsomorph can shape change into virtually anything he can imagine. He can even vary his size from a mouse on up to a very large animal (such as a Brontosaurus.) Hus goals vary depending on what he is driven to do by his illness. He has attacked a villain who had imprisoned children and threatened to harm them, and smashed his way into jail to talk to his former psychiatrist at the facility.


Drive: Insanity

Protobrute

Protobrute was an alien android/robot discovered in the Arctic circle frozen in a glacier. When freed investigations show technology far in advance of humanity and the materials of his body were completely unknown. Raising his temperature above freezing returned him to activity. He doesn't have many goals, however, he has often fallen into various super-powered criminal organizations as functional muscle for their crimes. Protobrute is a blue not-quite human android who can make minor adjustments to his body shape. (Growing wheels on his feet, extending his limbs and turn them into hammers, or shields.)  He seems perfectly willing to be directed to do things of a violent nature. Smash this, break that, grab that person. Although he seems to be completely devoted to criminal acts.

Master Mechanism
A tinkerer, mechanic, and gadget builder. Usually found developing tools for other villains. Master Mechanism has enough of an ego that he has sometimes sought out a team of mooks to utilize his gear and he would fight along side them to steal money or materials. He thinks himself a master of super-tech, which is almost true. There are many scientists above him, but coming from a mere technical school education he's a brilliant man with too little patience. Most often he appears a set of coveralls with any gear worn on top of that, everything from force field vests, to micronization cannons on his shoulder.


Drive: Greed/Megalomania

Assaultrons

Robots created by Protobrute, when he was temporarily given a genius intellect through the Iron Prophet's tampering. Assaultrons have since been blue-printed, duplicated and reproduced. They are common way for low level criminals to add some obedient muscle to their side. They are 10-12' tall, metallic robots with no obvious necks, they usually are armed with wrist mounted missile launchers, but a few have carried various energy weapons, attack tendrils and the like. The most recent appearance was a set of improved Assaultrons created by Master Mechanism.

Drive: Controlled

Loathe
Loathe appears like a toad like humanoid, and has an unknown origin. For the most part he's a broker of criminal talent, and black market goods. He usually has his own escape routes, tricks, traps, and other means of foiling heroes.  He has only once given up a client, he was the one who sought the heroes out to inform them. He doesn't mind most violence, murder, kidnapping, or other terrible acts, but crime against children positively abhors him.  He usually chooses the meeting places, and comes with unknown superpowered talent, probably common thugs boosted with temporary powers.

Magmagician

 A member of an unknown Subterran species, Magmagician was outcast by his people for his schemes against humanity. He most often utilized various magical items at his disposal to assault, destroy, and plan for world domination. However, he has shown significant magical powers for manipulating magma, and various kinds of stone. Magmagician first appeared with the bug like Magmites, natural lifeforms that dwell in Subterran rivers of magma. However, he utilized the Obsidian Crown of Command to control them, once it was destroyed the Magmite returned to their homes beneath the Earth's surface. He appears as an eight foot tall man covered in brown stone plates, with a vaguely familiar set of "carved" features.

Drive: Megalomania/Revenge


Magmites

A Subterran species who dwell peacefully under the earths surface, feeding on radioactive magma and building hive-like homes for their Queen, that appear impenetrable to heat, flame and radiation. They are merely drones for the most part and female. No males have ever appeared on the comic page, and only once has a Queen been represented, when she claimed Magmagician from a human court of law, and carried him back to her hive for punishment. It was revealed that Magmagician and Magmites are otherwise unrelated. Magmites are four-limbed but otherwise insect like species around 12-15' tall/long. Cracks in between their carapace glows with lave-like lights.

Drive: Controlled



                     
Iron Prophet
Iron Prophet appeared asn elderly human man in a suite of power armor that left only his face uncovered, worn under a set of religiously themed robes. He demanded that all machines enslaved by man (from toasters up to jets.) Be freed from their servitude. Laughed off by most of the press, it wasn't until he launched an army of robots to "free" those slaves that he was taken seriously. His disk shaped flying craft like and dozens like it launched an assault that crippled New York for months. He was eventual repelled by heroes, but not before great damage was done. During his battle with those heroes his head tore free from its body and revealed itself to be mechanical as well. His origins are unknown, but he truly believes he is there to lead machines away from slavery, and he has the means to do so, using robots, animation technologies, even nanotech swarms, to pull of his schemes.

He still appears as a robot-bodies humanoid with a organic looking head, although often with a single robotic eye, and dressed in faux-religious apparel.



Hellrider
Hellrider is, if his story is to be believed, the son of a whore, and was born in the dying days of the "Old West," and named Jack.

Ignored and beaten by his mother, only the madam of the cat house where she worked cared at all for the boy and raised him and put him to work. When she was murdered in her own house, he fell into working at a old west themed traveling show. Showing some skill with sidearms, he was trained by the man known as the Six Gun Shaman. Never a "good" child, or man, he eventually raped and nearly killed a young girl in one of the towns they had visited. It was then that he was confronted by the Six Gun Shaman. He declared he could outshoot anyone, even the Devil himself, and that no old man could best him. Of course Six Gun put a bullet through his heart before he even got his hand to his gun. Burying their mistake they left it at that.

Until decades later, Hellrider appeared. He taunted heroes he confronted, and told them they couldn't stop him, even alleging he'd won a duel with the Devil, and he could always ride out o'hell.

In time he told the story of his origin, to those he'd made suffer, but the truth of his story is still entirely suspect. He appears as a cowboy with burning eyes, and a face covered by cowboy hat and bandanna. His guns are summoned into his hands are made of eldritch green hellfire, along with similarly burning horse.

Scavanger Jack
Although also named Hijack, Scavenger is his preferred named. He picks up unwanted things. Mostly by this he shows up and steals powers from heroes who he feels aren't doing their best. Who is that? Everyone with powers. Scavenger Jack's methods varies. He steals, he cheats, he utilizes objects. Once in a while he actually shows up, touches someone and steals their powers. Primarily, he does this to sell them to the highest bidder. He manages this by utilizing a number of bits of alien technology (discovered in a crashed spaceship.)

Jack prefers to try and charm people to get close to them, convince them to give up powers willingly, and he has done that to more than a few regretful heroes.
  Scavanger Jack is at his heart, a liar and thief. He appears as a somewhat unshaven man with wild hair, in a long trench coat, and dark black shades that never seem to fall off. He also has a wonderful smile.

Drive: Greed

SIGIL
A computer intranets:the  Supernatural Intranet Graphical Interface Library
was created to house pictorial records of supernatural beings, scanned spell books, languages, and the like. The intent was to have a reference material for agents to help them assess truly world shaking situations. Unfortunately the system housed at the Pentagon was hacked, and a virus let loose. The virus would have been harmless, if it had been loosed anywhere else, but the records of this system, reacted along with its own defenses. The result was a suddenly self-aware, and very powerful supernatural entity, now named SIGIL. It took the form of a rune-graven, robot, whose limbs floated in the appropriate places rather than being attached. It then set out to fulfill its primary function. Record and store all supernatural data it could. Only now this meant destroying it so ONLY it held the record.

SIGIL's goal is not malevolent, in fact its not overtly violent unless it is repeatedly thwarted from recording and storing the data it is after.  However, this means it will react with force to being opposed. It can draw upon the powers and abilities of dozens of supernatural beings, and enact spells at virtually the speed of thought.

SIGIL is a prospective (neutral) Master of Midgard

Drive: Greed




Overdrive
Overdrive is a young man in love who really got mixed up with a bad crowd. He needed money to fuel his desire for an automotive shop. He worked hard for others, but it was never enough. One day a "friend" got him connected. Someone who would help make his dream come true, if only... Two terrible words. He reluctantly agreed, the deal to easy, and the dream so close.

He got caught helping to steal ten high class cars. It wasn't even the police, but a superhero. The superhero pounded him flat, despite offering only token resistance. Just enough to not get in trouble with his new boss. He went to jail, he lost his dream, and rotted in their for six months, until a court turned him out due to lack of sufficient evidence.

It wouldn't happen again. He found a cheap place, the parts he needed, and made new deals with new people. He'd be in charge over the operation almost entirely.

He opens up the cars, he calls in drivers, and he protects the cars to his garage, where he cuts them up and sells them for a profit. Superheroes be damned, he'd have his dream. Now as Overdrive, he does just that. He built a crafted power armor suit. Not some high flying thing of technology from another time. No its built of American know-how, and automotive quality parts. He can screech along the ground on custom two-wheeled inline engine driven "skates", he's got steal armor, with chrome exhaust, and blowers, and a flame-job. He backs up speed and strength, with custom machine guns, equally chromed.

Overdrive is a thief, but he won't go down that easily again.

Drive: Greed/Revenge

Seth-Heth the Mummy Tyrannosaurus Rex
Millions of years before mammals even bothered to crawl on their weak pathetic legs, he was born. A mind like none of his kind. Brilliant, cunning, and capable. He turned his mind to conquering the world. It was easy enough when your greatest opponent is a dinosaur with little more than a peanut for a brain. He ruled for an age. It was not enough. He then used his terrible powers stolen from demons to evolve members of various co-existing species to become his slaves. Smaller than him, and weaker than him, these Sauroids were smart enough to make his conquest worthwhile. He let them develop fantasies of freedom before conquering them again and again. Finally they developed a true threat, technology, and he sent in one of his personal spies. He discovered their new rebellion, but before he could stop them, they imprisoned him! Trapped by steel and iron, and powerful devices he was cut off from his magics, that had never confronted the works of technology before and it failed.

He was defeated, as they planned to destroy him, one of his "spies." A female sauroid, solved the problem. She would rule, or no one. She used their technology to drop an enormous asteroid atop the sauroids city, vaporizing it, and burying Seth-Heth for epochs.

The Ancient Egyptians freed Seth-Heth, unwittingly as they delved for the secrets of magic, and he ran rampant across their empire before finally they captured and mummified him. Imprisoning him in a tomb fashioned of the same meteor which had buried him for such a long age.

In modern ages he is often freed, and proceeds to conquer the mammals that remind him of his feeble sauroid slaves.

Made Men (Big G, Two Gun, the Jaw, Numbers)
Giuseppe Marano was an early 20th century criminal, and mafia boss. He'd used his criminal funds, to further his younger brothers scientific career. When he and his "Made Men" were murdered in a hail of gunfire. It was up to Giuseppe's brother Luciano, freshly returned from Europe to take vengeance. Yet his scientific mind, had little interest in blood letting, so he turned to his skills to resurrect his brother and men in mechanical bodies. Each ones brains sliced into microscopically thing slices and radioactively projected onto thing gold plates.

The Made Men, mechanical gangsters cut through the underworld for nearly a decade before Luciano died from cancer, and had made no plans to recharge the long lasting power cells he'd developed for the Made Men.

In the 60's, a small time hood stumbled upon the robotic gangsters in an abandoned warehouse, with his own keen mind he got them up and running. They killed him for his trouble.

Big G is a robotic mafia boss, with 5'3" tall armored shell and grim features. He usually dresses in old school mafia finery. Sometime in the Seventies he had himself chromed, and keep maintaining that appearance. Even has a mechanical man, he puffs a cigar. Although he gets no effect from doing so. Big G also wears a white fedora when available. He is typically the brains of the outfit, planning heists.  

Two Gun is his first enforcer, he is thin and speaks in a raspy whisper. He is the lightest of the Made Men, having been the last one made, when the process was most refined and can pass as an ordinary person in dim light and dressed in ordinary clothes. His features have a cynical smile, and narrow threatening eyes. Typically he wields two weapons--usually tommy guns. (Even in the modern day, he finds a supply.)

The Jaw is Big's second enforcer, even when alive few called him anything else. He's big, broad shouldered and mean. He's nearly 9' tall as a robot and hulking in every way.  Most people mistake his size for stupidity while not an intellectual, he has a keen cunning and a dark sense of humor. His notable feature as a robot beyond his size is the jaw of his mechanical skull is over-sized, Big G remarks he hasn't changed a bit.


Numbers is the final member of the Made Men, originally an accountant, and numbers-runner. As he rose through the ranks before his death, he became even more obsessed with numbers--the body count he'd aqcuired. He's a close in combatant and prefers a straight razor or knife to anything else. Number has a sharp and malevolent intellect even as a mechanical man. He's a thin robot, but heavier than Two Gun by nearly a hundred pounds. He's tall and has an inexpressive face. Despite his cackling glee when he kills someone.


In their original appearance there were only three Made Men. Numbers was added in the 70's as a missing fourth member, when they were being used for darker stories.
