A top-tier antagonist with a name on the front page and a body count to match — been at this since before the team was a glint in anybody's eye. Sharp, prepared, and personally curious what kind of new generation just walked into his city.

Defeated by: the team out-thinking him by the second or third encounter — the first meeting is reconnaissance, for both sides.
Appearance: An elaborate, unmistakable costume in a signature color and cut, a cape or coat that moves like it was designed for cameras; a composed, unhurried presence.
