Villains Are Made #17: The Howling
Good morning, gang! (And team! And Ticketholders and HeroMachiners of all ages!) Before I get into today's character bio, I'd like to express how disappointed I am in Russell Peters, Roseanne, and Keenan Ivory Wayans. This week on Last Comic Standing, awkward, unconventional (and in all ways superior) funnyman Joe Machi was sent home after his funniest set in the competition to date. While he may not have any set structure to his material, it has consistently gotten the biggest laughs of any in the competition. I place his humor on a level with that of George Carlin and Robin Williams (that is, given a two hour comedy special, he could potentially make me laugh so hard that I would be on the floor, choking on my laughter through an aching face after the first hour). And yet the three judges mentioned above decided he had gotten too comfortable and gimmicky for his own good, denying him a spot in the final three.
Following this post, I will promptly begin fixing them a humongous bowl of Suck-It Soup. But first, I bring you Greta Holz' Redwulf transformation.
Name: Redwulf
Alias: Greta Holz
Team Affiliations: Society of Foes, Power Suits
Enemies: Frank Hallows, The B.R.I.D.E., Farrah O'Ren, The Coven of Iarann, Witches in general, and anyone else with Knavium-derived powers.
Race: Lycandroid
Birthplace: Berlin, Germany/HallowGen
Powers/Abilities: P.A.T.C.H. power core (powered by Iarannian magical energies), Ferro-Knavium-infused body, Enhanced strength and reflexes, Energy claws.
Bio: Greta Holz took a job at HallowGen as a member of the X-2 development team, using her position to illegally obtain the intel and technology she and her brother required to take vengeance upon the Coven of Iarann, one of whom accidentally killed their parents while testing out a new thermal weapon.
When she was caught in the explosion that paralyzed Frank Hallows, Greta suffered a near-fatal heart injury and had to have her heart replaced with that of one of the witches her brother had killed. Greta survived the procedure, but woke up as a humanoid machine full of power she didn't understand and a hunger for Iarannian hearts she couldn't control.
Days and weeks passed without incident, her hunger sated by daily consumption of the hearts of her enemies, not knowing that the more hearts she ate, the more magical energy she absorbed. One day at HallowGen, she unwittingly absorbed the X-2 parts she was working on, incorporating them into her body in much the same way that a Witch of Iarann is able to. That is how she became Redwulf for the first time.
As Redwulf, she went on a rampage, forcing a tenuous, temporary alliance between Hans Holz, Frank Hallows, and Frank's newest employee, Juto Abanme (a.k.a. Deus-X). Working together, they were able to get Greta's Redwulf transformation under control. She no longer requires her "daily meal," but even with Frank's reluctant help, she has yet to discover a way to remove the X-2 technology from her body, a fact that she holds against Frank with a vengeance.
She has also been enlisted in various schemes by enemies of Frank Hallows, including the Power Suits and The B.R.I.D.E. (whom she now considers an enemy), but the path to her--and her brother's--true objective lies with the Society of Foes, a group devoted to the complete extermination of all the elemental covens.
I now have a decent costume concept for my Rapunzel character, and will begin work on Hans Holz very soon. Deus-X will get a makeover in the future as well.
Until then, it's time to prepare that soup. Note that I myself will not "Suck It" (unless you give me 85 bucks).
Ticketmaster,
completely joking,
so please don't have me arrested for solicitation.
Just stay tuned for more characters from my cranium,
and while you're at the corner package store picking up a '40,
grab me a grapefruit and one of those little ginseng bottles.
I'm hung.
Out.
