Forgotten supervillain hardware, powered back up on its own. No operator at the controls — just a targeting profile thirty years out of date, hunting enemies who are dead or long retired, with the team standing in the crossfire.
Signature moves: broadcast demands nobody's heard in decades, target codenames from a previous era, ignore every civilian transmission, self-repair given the chance.
Defeated by: the team digging up the original deactivation protocol — usually buried in the Scrap Yard or Vigil Tower.
Appearance: A boxy, outdated chassis in chipped primary colors, rust creeping along old seams, a targeting lens that flickers with each scan.
