User blog:TheMightyTom99/Scourge - Supervillain Idea



This is my idea for a Supervillain for my own superhero series (Spartan). Scourge is similar in purpose to Bane in Batman, as an extremely threatening physical challenge.

Backstory
Scourge was originally a test experiment for a new form of supersoldier serum. The improved serum (Havoc) was later stolen by the supervillain Ghost, however, the original serum took a much darker effect upon those it was injected into. Because it directly affected the cells and muscles of the subject, it was reliant upon the cell structure excepting the chemical, which in Scourge's case, didn't happen.

Sahin's cells reacted badly, morphing into an infected shape, while his muscles burst through his flesh. The cells in his blood affected his brain, putting him in constant agony and almost "reviving" his worst memories.

In this both physically and mentally agonising state, Sahin was prone to incontrollable fits of rage. The US Government tried to cover up the story and ended up imprisoning Sahin in the Rocky Mountains. Thanks to his superhuman strength,  Sahin escaped and set out alone to find his old Commander at Fort Regan. However, he discovered that Commander Solorio had died in action two days before he arrived at the army base.

Incensed by anger over this setback, Sahin decided to put his strengths to good use. He joined a pit fighting guild in Brazil and eventually hired several members to act as couriers for drugs. He had set up his own gang in Rio by the time Spartan had arisen, but the superhero quickly shut it down, as his third mission abroad. Sahin attempted to engage Spartan but failed, and thereafter took upon the single villain identity of Scourge.

Confrontations with Spartan
Scourge is one of only five supervillains who have managed to best Spartan in hand-to-hand combat (the others being The Ronin, Ghost, Shadow and Last Light).

In the second fight with Spartan, Scourge managed to break the superhero's right arm, leaving him for dead. Since then, Scourge has managed to defeat Spartan on two other occassions, making him the armoured knight's most dangerous opponent in person.

His first fight with Spartan was when he attempted to destroy the New York City dam in order to flood a section of the city. This was all a distraction to get the police force away while he engaged Spartan. Spartan managed to best Scourge and used a chemical compound to negate the effects of Scourge's serum. He was later arrested by authorities. Scourge organised his escape with the aid of his pit wrestling friends, who acted as visitors, only to pull out guns and bring Scourge out of prison.

Scourge went into hiding, and kidnapped the original creator of the serum used on him, Pr. Thomas Red. When Scourge found him, he ordered Red to create more of the formula, now improved and named Havoc. Red succeeded and Scourge once again returned to his superhuman self. He also requested specially made armour to improve the drug's effectiveness upon his body (as seen in the picture above). The armour was designed to be bullet-proof and apply Havoc directly into his system.

Scourge then plotted his second fight against Spartan. He ordered his gang to plant plastic explosives at strategic locations across Everham, destroying three hospitals and over a hundred houses. While the authorities began evacuating people from across the danger zones, Scourge advanced upon what was then known as No Man's Land. Spartan was there, investigating and Scourge surprised him. In his advanced armour, Scourge easily overpowered Spartan, breaking his right arm. He left the hero for dead and left, confident that he had achieved what had sought.
