a lot like this ) He wears a necklace of one ear from each person he has consumed. It's quite a large necklace.
Costume: None
Hero/Villain: Villian
Personality/motives: He has been killed and reborn so, so many times that he now searches for someone who can finally put him to rest, and kills everyone who can't. He lives in a series of long abandoned metro tunnels that run under the city, only emerging when the urge to kill becomes overwhelming. Years of throwing himself into battles has left his body scarred and beaten, but not broken. He was a Mayan prince who fell ill with the diseases brought over by the invading Spaniards. Realizing that he was quickly dying, he asked his priests to begin a ritual which would shield his soul from being claimed by the Underworld while his body healed. The spell was a success, but the prince perished soon after. Mourned by his people, he was mummified and buried. His soul was spat back by the Underworld and he awoke, entombed in the earth as his people were wiped out. As the jungles creep back to claim the Mayan city, tree roots gradually erode the walls of his tomb and he is able to escape. In his long isolation, he forgets what sinister powers keep him alive, but he knows that only killing and consuming the bodies brings him temporary relief from the pain of death long overdue. After he escapes, he begins to roam the Earth, searching for an end to his pain. A group of heroes stumbled upon him cannibalizing one of his kills once, and the fight that followed was the closest to death that he could remember experiencing. Since that day he comes up with schemes and machinations to lure other heroes who may be powerful enough to kill him. He senses that if he goes to Times Square, he will never return. He doesn't regret killing other people, and doesn't even really think what he's doing is wrong. He just needs rest.
He became bored with just killing, so now he enjoys to toy with his victims before the end. He has a particular affinity for bombs, as he enjoys the amount of people they kill for the minimal amount of effort on his part. Laughs maniacally while he kills, or thinks of the destruction that he is visiting on people.
Powers: Extreme healing factor leads to most people assuming he is dead when he is just very badly beaten; superhuman strength
History: Born on Monday, christened on Tuesday, married on Wednesday, fell ill on Thursday, grew worse on Friday, died on Saturday, buried on Sunday
...Woke up on Monday
He calls himself Solomon Grundy because he heard one of his victims recite the nursery rhyme as he stalked them, and found that he quite liked it.
He isn't immortal, just very, very, very, very, very, very,
very durable. If you pummel him hard enough he will die, but most assume that there's no way anyone could survive the beating that they just put him through and they turn out to be wrong.
