Secret Origin File #4: Scrapper

Secret Origin File 003: SCRAPPER
Real Name: Billy Ray Slaughter

After years of tinkering in his father’s junkyard, Billy Ray Slaughter developed an uncanny knack for invention. Slaughter can take any object and turn it into a useful tool or a deadly weapon. Building a suit of strength-enhancing armor from found objects, Slaughter struck out to make his fortune in the big city. After finding crime to be more challenging to his talents than super-heroics, Slaughter adopted the identity of the Scrapper. Currently, Bedbug stands in Slaughter’s way of stealing the one million dollars he (thinks) he needs to impress his hoitey-toity fiancee' Olivia Van Haughten.

Weapons and abilities:
Scrapper's armor gives him enhanced strength and endurance - he is strong enough to lift a car over his head and rip an ATM machine out of a brick wall. Other than the armor, Scrapper doesn't favor one weapon as he prefers the challenge that impromptu item creation provides.

Secret Origin File #3: Player One

Secret Origin File 003: PLAYER ONE
Real Name: Reginald Elizabeth Sloots

A sore loser and an even poorer winner, Player One is video-game themed villain who squandered his trust fund to finance his game-themed crimes. His compulsion to “collect them all” drives him to stealing entire holiday shipments of the latest game system to sell on ebay to robbing game show contestants of their winnings (including the home versions!) He has to be the first to own the newest gadget, gizmo and software on the market, and if he can’t have it first, he’ll steal it first.

Weapons and abilities:

His primary weapon is a "power glove" that creates and controls robotic minions and hard-light holograms avatars as well as fires a deadly "photonic blast" of energy.

Secret Origin File #2: Grave Robber

Secret Origin File 002: GRAVE ROBBER
Real Name: William Craven

Inspired by Silicon City’s colorful superheroes and villains, Billy Craven donned a skull-faced mask and Halloween skeleton costume to become… the Headstone!

Wait a second? I thought his name was Grave Robber? Well, read on!!

Background:
After a successful spree of fast-food and convenience store robberies, Headstone ran afoul of the hero Bedbug. Mortified by his lame super-villain name, Bedbug re-christened him the Grave Robber. Craven liked the name and has used it ever since.

Since in jail, Craven has dedicated himself to bettering himself in the hopes of taking his rightful place as Bedbug’s archenemy.

Weapons and Abilities:
During his robberies, Grave Robber carried his prized possession, a six-shooter owned by the 50’s mystery man; Quickdraw. He also carries a Sonic Shovel that creates vibrations strong enough to cut through metal or release a reverberating shock wave when slammed onto the ground. He is, at best, a mediocre hand-to-hand combatant.
