Real Name:Jack ‘Sully’ Sullam
Alias:Hypnos
Age:27
Gender:Male
Power(s): Voice Manipulation – Jack is able to completely change his voice, making it that of whomever he chooses. However he has to have heard the voice somewhat before he can mimic it. He is also able to throw his voice, meaning he can be speaking however the voice may seem to originate from any point Jack can see, rather than his mouth.
Visual Distortion – Jack is able to change his entire appearance with an illusion. This means he can take the form of anybody he chooses to. However this power cannot be used indefinitely and requires a fair amount of concentration and so something painful normally breaks the illusion.
Phantom Throwing – Jack’s final power is that he can create phantom illusions. The illusions are life sized and can be of anybody he chooses, twinned with his voice manipulation Jack can create and control illusions of people. A simple phantom requires very little focus however if Jack then gives it a voice and controls it from afar, it can be very difficult and cannot be kept up for a long time.
Skill(s):Silver Tongued – Jack has learned from his early years that if he spoke long enough, he could get what he wanted. From talking his way into a movie theatre to talking his way out of a police car, Jack always knows what to say and his ego knows this too.
Seasoned Inmate – Jack has been through a number of other prisons and has been at Purgatory before and so he knows the ins and outs better than most. Alongside that he has had to learn how to fight and whilst beefing up slightly, he also knows how to hold himself in a fist fight.
Weakness(es):Broken Focus – Most of his more advanced powers require quite a bit of focus and so a simple shock or stab can completely break that, forcing his illusions to dematerialise.
Still Human – Jack is a human at the heart of it all and has all the weaknesses they do.
‘He will wind you up…’ – Jack loves to talk and he has talked himself into trouble just as much as he talks himself out. He may be rude and push his luck at times. Just remember, it’s nothing personal.
Appearance:Costume:N.A. - Jack wore the outfit of his victims, he never needed an outfit.
Backstory:Jack would like to tell you that he grew up in a broken home that ‘shaped him’ and made him ‘hate the world’ but that isn’t true. Jack was born into a fairly middle class family in England, where he had a very good education and never went wanting for anything. When he as in university he found that he had a knack for impersonations and earned some extra cash doing a short gig at a local comedy club. Soon after that Jack started getting into trouble with the law in regards to weed and other infractions he committed as a rebellious teen. However he seemed to be able to talk his way out of the police cars then as well. Finally when his parents found out about the drugs and fights he had gotten into they had had an argument. They expected him to complete his law degree and go to law school however Jack enjoyed his freedom and they fought. During the fight he left and went to his room without releasing it he had left an illusion of himself standing and taking the abuse his parents were hurling. This discovery led too Jack leaving for America with his friends on a gap year, during this time he didn’t take the return flight and stayed illegally in America. In the U.S he begun taking jobs to frame people, going to illegal brothels and drug dens as certain people, so that when he was discovered there, the actual personality would be framed. Many a politicians’ career fell to this trick.
Soon the money wasn’t good enough for jack and he started working on bigger and better crimes to pay for his rich lifestyle. A man who could take the appearance of any guard or owner was invaluable to any bank heist and Jack was content for a time. It was during a heist that jack killed his first man, a friend of the woman he was impersonating noticed Jack not playing the part right and was fussing over Jack, Jack lost his cool and the illusion broke, as did the one that was covering his heist mate. Jack shot the friend then and there without thinking. He stopped heisting after that for a long time. It broke his personality and he locked himself away. It was locked away that he became Hypnos, going from gang work to solo he began a spree of heists and killings. He murdered dignitaries and stole from banks and museums alike. By the time that he was stopped he had amassed a fortune that he kept all locked up in one large penthouse suite. During a his spree he made an enemy of the Penguin by stealing a lot of money from him. In the end the Penguin tricked Jack into a trap and had him arrested and thrown into different prisons. With his ability Jack escaped numerous times and every time was hauled back by the Batman. Finally when Purgatory was constructed they found a prison Jack couldn't escape from, so far.
