The Skull

History:

The Skull is the result of a sickened mind and a very damaged man. He was once a member of the League of Heroes, a paragon of justice. He fought crime as the dark and brooding Gothic. A skull faced hero who struck fear into the hearts of criminals. However, over time he began to resent the popularity of his teammates, and their "goody-goody" attitude toward the villains who they repeatedly had to catch with alarming frequency. Gothic began pushing the league to adopt more drastic measures when dealing with criminals, most notably to use excessive and deadly force against them. The league was horrified by this, and began to isolate Gothic from the team, pushing him even farther to the fringes. His only steadfast friend was the Crimson Cloak, and the two continued to fight crime on the streets. Soon the day came where the league decided it best to reveal their true identities to the public, as an act of good faith. Gothic vehemently opposed this measure, as did his friend the Cloak, though for very different reasons. Gothic had become so wrapped up in his alter ego that he could not fathom going back to his former life. He had also become tempted by the sheer seduction of violence. He loved beating up the bad guys, and he knew that revealing his true identity would jeopardize his addiction to this lifestyle. As a result, Gothic decided to make a statement. He blew up the league. Publicly, in an act of terror that would irreversibly damage the reputation of masked vigilantes everywhere. "If they could not protect one of their own, how can they protect the public?" This became the thought that pervaded the populace. With the League of Heroes disbanded, and Gothic irreversibly pushed over the edge, he took on a darker persona; that of The Skull, the worst crime boss in all of the city, and the arch nemesis to his former colleague The Crimson Cloak.
