Terrors of the Night (Happy Halloween!)

Happy Halloween to everyone! Figured I'd post my Halloween inspired supervillain team for the occasion!

 

 

Alias: Cartouche

Real Name: N/A

Gender: Male

Alignment: Villain

Influenced By: Mummies

Backstory: Almost all information regarding Cartouche's former life has been lost. All that remains are a couple of journals that have been found. He was from an archaeologist family, with him tagging along most of the time. Unfortunately, he was quite sick, so his family searched for a cure in the Book of Life. During the ritual, Cartouche was locked inside a sarcophagus, wrapped in layers of cloth, where the cartouche would fuse onto his skin. The combination of the ritual with the books of life and death, and cartouche left him in a state of undeath. Neither living, nor dead. He could still feel the lingering pain from his sickness, but it wasn't as drastic as before. Unfortunately the ritual resulted in the pyramid collapsing upon itself, which killed his family, with his newfound abilities saving him. He would wander from town to town, with villagers only seeing him as a monster. They'd try to kill him, but failed in their attempts. The cloth now acting as an extension of himself, would be able to manipulate it anyway he saw fit. This is in addition to his new found durability, and enhanced strength. However, he is quite vulnerable to fire, and if somehow separated from the cloth, will most likely die.

 

Alias: Echo (Drained Soul)

Real Name: Eile Ni Daire

Alignment: Villain

Powers: powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Banshee_Physiology

Weaknesses: Salt, Iron, and her remains.

Influenced By: Mythological Banshees, Moira's Banshee skin in Overwatch,

Backstory: A banshee, whose wailing is an omen when death is about to arrive. Eile died due to a plague that had killed around 90 percent of the village she was living in at the time. It was at this time that she would become a Banshee. She was drawn to Cardinal City, with deaths occurring there when they weren't supposed to be. It was due to the conflict of these so called superheroes and supervillains that were the cause of it all. Echo grew malevolent as the years went on with her as a Banshee. There were so many, that cheated death, which she wailed about beforehand. Preying on the weak and vulnerable, Echo hunted them down, one by one.

 

Alias: Hex

Real Name: Myrna Delacroix

Gender: Female

Alignment: Villain

Influenced By: Witches (Including Marvel's Scarlet Witch), and the song Massacre by Kim Petras.

Backstory: Myrna's parents were from two different covens of witches, that found comfort in each other. They both lusted for power. The two covens would often cheat death, by doing certain rituals, which required sacrifices. Myrna as a child was ostracized by her classmates, blaming her for the death happening around them. Saying that she hexed them, or casted a death spell of some sort. Life for Myrna didn't get any better, as her parents would try to use her as a sacrifice, to extend their lifespan, absorbing her youth and power for themselves. Unfortunately for them, the ritual didn't go as planned, with Myrna killing half of the witches there. The banshee known as Echo would come for the rest, as they had cheated death one too many times. It was then that a friendship between the two was made, which lead to them eventually creating the Terrors.

 

Alias: Nightwalker

Real Name: Malik

Gender: Male

Alignment Villain

Influenced By: There Will Be Blood by Kim Petras, Dracula, Vampires in general, Batman Nightwalker,

Backstory: Malik was born into a vampiric royal family, and as such, was cursed to live without stepping outside during the daytime. He would kill millions over the years, to satisfy his bloodlust. In recent years, he would encounter a witch calling herself Hex. She would find a way to control him, which led Malik to join the Terrors. Every Halloween, he, along with every other Terror, are released upon the streets of Cardinal City.

 

Alias: Cutthroat

Real Name: Jack Lanter

Gender: Male

Alignment: Villain

Powers: Short Ranged Teleport,

Influenced By: Headless Horseman, Jack O Lanterns, Slasher movie villains (Ghostface, Michael Myers, the like), Wrong Turn by Kim Petras

Backstory: A serial killer, who targets young women. Victims are found with their throats slit open, and stab wounds on their wrists, resembling a Jack O Lantern in shape and size. However, Cutthroat's proven to be quite clumsy at times, as several of his potential victims have survived his attacks, and even hurt him. Not much is known about Jack himself, and how he became so disturbed. Some of the victims account that he has taken off his head while chasing them. How that's even possible as a human is a mystery. Some theorize he's the reincarnation of Ghostface and the Headless Horseman combined, others assume he just has another superpower which allows him to do so.
