2/4

The Haziz family fled Iraq during Saddam Husseins earlyyears and lost their family fortune and properties indoing so. Settling in Emerald City, they found little ac-ceptance among the refugee community thanks to theincessant open bitterness and continual complainingby Michaels mother and grandfather about their lostfortune. His father worked hard to build a new life inAmerica despite being constantly sabotaged by his wifeand father-in-law, both of whom blamed him for theirpoverty. This was the environment into which Michael

was born and raised, a world where he was constantlytold he should rightfully have great wealth, power, andstatus, all of which were denied him by petty, jealous

people who kept him down. His fathers words of encour-agement and moral guidance couldnt be heard over hismothers and grandfathers constant ravings. Michaelgrew up filled with hatred and jealousy and turned tostreet crime by the time he was ten years old. At first,he targeted his fellow refugees, many of whom werefrom races, religions, or nationalities he had been taughtto hate and look down on. When his victims eventuallydiscovered his crimes and retaliated against his father, itcost him his business. Rather than face his punishment,Michael ran away. To this day, he has no idea what hap-pened to his father or the rest of his family.

Michael moved frequently, always cutting his stays shortwhen his petty thefts, robberies, and minor cons inevita-bly brought him too much attention. He became adept at

disappearing into the night one step ahead ofangry victims and the police. His last petty

crime was purse-snatching and he was inthe middle of running away from thescene when he turned the corner and

ran full-tilt into the Silver Storm.

He awoke hours later in the hospi-tal. Drunk with power, Haziz wenton a confused, frenzied rampage

of destruction before regaining hissenses enough to flee the scene and

assess what had happened to him.Certain his new powers were a sign he

was destined for greatness, Haziz chosethe name King Babylon and began to es-tablish himself as one of the worlds great-

est supervillains.

PERSONALITY

King Babylon is loud, boastful, and confident in thepower he wields. There is no end to his desire for the bestin life, but he has very little taste or class; the supervillainequivalent of the nouveau riche . Beneath his vain exterioris a petty, insecure man desperately seeking validation. Aman who has yet to realize that despite all his power, hes

still the same loser hes always been. He has a patho-logical need to be accepted as a major player on thesupercriminal scene, but lacks the vision and grandmotivation that separates the master villain fromthe everyday threat.

POWERS & ABILITIES

COMPLICATIONS

Accident: Things tend to break around King Babylon, whetherhe wants them to or not... just a minor side-effect of being awalking dent in the probability field of the universe.MotivationRecognition : King Babylon is insecure andwants to prove to the world that hes a powerful, fearsomefigure worthy of their fear and respect.Own Worst Enemy: King Babylon more often than not seemsto bring down his own schemes. He overreaches, or under-plans, or jumps the gun, or shows his hand too early, or boastsopenly about things he should be playing close to the vest,and so on. A powerful loser is still a loser.Reputation : Other villains view Babylon as a bit of an idiot anda loser. Hes too powerful to safely badmouth to his face, butfew supercriminals whove worked with him take him seriously.Vengeful : King Babylon never forgets any slight and huntsdown those who have embarrassed him in the past in a vainattempt to prove himself.

he channels raw chaos and can use it to disrupt matter,energy, and probability all around him. King Babylon isstrong and incredibly durable (though whether or not hisRegeneration actually works is up to the GM). The field ofchaotic force he generates around himself enables him toignore gravity and creates a visual and spatial distortionaround him; it also disrupts neural and biological func-tions and interferes with attempts to alter probability. Hecan throw a blast of raw chaos force which disintegratesanything it hits. He can also use his powers to inducemadness and rage in any life form he sees.

ALLIES

Theres an important distinction between those KingBabylon considers his peers and those who consider

themselves his allies. He sees himself amongst the nobilityof power and infamy in the world, but the other membersof that club tend to see King Babylon as a useful, albeitdangerous, dupe and pawn.

ENEMIES Any hero King Babylon encounters is likely to be attackedin an attempt to prove he can beat them; those who makea good showing or embarrass him make his hit list forever .He never lets go of a grudge.

HOOKS

Kneel Before Your Lord and Master!: The heroes findthemselves caught between Babylon and an angry former

ally; alternately, the heroes find themselves in the middleof one of Babylons epic tantrums after his most recentplan has fallen apart.
