Runs a lab somewhere under the Underbelly, built from equipment salvaged off the last plant to close on that block. Builds hardware for villains who can't build their own — bored, brilliant, and still nursing a grudge against the university program that passed him over twenty years back. His gear keeps turning up in scrap heaps, evidence lockers, and the team's last fight.

Appearance: Goggles pushed up into wild, singed hair, a lab coat scorched and patched with mismatched fabric, tool-belt pockets bulging with wire and solder; grease-stained hands never quite still.
