Metacide
 |
He is on a mission to end all superhumans… Metacide!
A Power Level 9 Rogue¸ Metacide (who calls himself "The Purifier") is a fanatic on a mission of death. He is an iconic character in the Beacon City universe¸ but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
Metacide's file is designated "Orange" to indicate his lack of metahuman super-powers¸ his mission bolstered by anti-metahuman weaponry and training. He's bigoted and violent¸ driven to hunt down and destroy anyone with super-normal abilities¸ regardless of whether they pose any actual threat to humanity. He is often employed by masterminds or organizations which share his zeal for destruction¸ or simply want to use him as a hindrance for heroes getting in their way. He may also simply target a hero for using powers in public¸ or for supporting the "Metahuman Agenda." A hero who is struggling with a sense of identity in a world that is torn apart by the existence of metahumans will certainly come into conflict with Metacide sooner or later¸ as he represents a very punch-able incarnation of bigotry. Metacide is ready to deploy against such heroes at a moment's notice with his P.A.S.S. system.
Welcome to Rogues¸ Rivals & Renegades. Each entry in the series is designed as a villain¸ a potential ally with complications¸ or an outsider who might help the PCs one day and be at odds with them another. Each character has the potential to become a mainstay of your campaign!
Rogues¸ Rivals & Renegades are presented as files from a meta-human monitoring agency called METAs¸ with a loose frame story connecting them toVigilance Press's own Beacon City setting. They are designed to drop into any setting with minimal effort¸ however¸ and the METAs commentary is written to give you a better picture of each character's personality and threat level. Each issue gives you a background for the character¸ commentary from METAs files¸ a standee to print and play with¸ and Hero Lab files for key characters!
