Ver 12

Like any good supervillain, the progression from a shocking experience – this case, the pool of blood in his own basement – to a master criminal is a very obscure one. They say the mugger then killed all cats in his neighborhood, went to Iraq to provide blood transfusions for the Islamic fundamentalists, and returned on a vacation to trash the city of Heudringottingenberger-und-Hzyepterzchwagenoftereich, which is his hometown and base of operations. Still, some say his very pressurized blood poisoned the waters to cause red tide around the world. Still others say he just became a supervillain via obscure procedures. Whatever the case, the mugger now walks with blood on his hands and a new name: Hemo.

Like any good supervillain, Hemo knew he must have a name that suits him well, so he picked hemo. Why hemo? He discovered his powers while being emo. Since the power was related with blood, and thus hemoglobin, he added an H to emo, becoming Hemo. Wearing black, ugly outfits that honor the rock subculture, he is at first glance, emo and most probably will kill himself in 3 minutes. But don’t be fooled. He will point a finger at you and mug you while waving a black skull dagger with his other hand. If you dare engage him in close quarters combat, he slits his finger and shoots you in the eyes until you get blinded and ineffective at fighting while beating you up with his improved physique (The speed by which his circulatory system works means more oxygen and food are delivered to all cells, making him fitter than the average mugger. The downside is that he is very, very hungry if he uses up too much organic material, say, bleeding a river of blood, from his already efficient digestive system.). Then he robs you. If, however, you carry a gun and shoot him, blood will most likely spurt out of the bullet wound, hitting you with such force that you are knocked down unconscious and dirty. Then he robs you.

Like any good supervillain, Hemo remains free from bars since police have no effective counter against him. Police small arms fire will just incapacitate the gunner, while running him over is almost impossible with his physical and mental capabilities letting him avoid the police cars. The mecha is still under repair, so Heudringottingenberger-und-Hzyepterzchwagenoftereich is hopelessly under the mercy of Hemo.

And like any good supervillain, he gets defeated by a superhero almost all of the time.
