--
Weapons: A low calibre handgun

Combat Section:
Strength: Panopticon is not a physical villain and rarely finds strength to be particularly useful in his line of work. As such, his strength isn't much different from that of a typical white collar worker of his age.
Endurance: Almost exactly average, Panopticon's unexpressive nature means that he is unlikely to actually reveal his pain, making it appear slightly longer to observers.
Willpower: Experienced as he is in the tactics of coercion and manipulation, Panopticon is sinle minded in his focus to an absolutely terrifying degree. For all his faults, his self-control is impeccable.
Speed: Panopticon possesses only slightly above average speed and agility die to his relatively thin frame.
Reaction Speed: Largely unremarkable and average.

Quirk Section:
Name of Quirk: Tune In
Ability of Quirk: Panoticon possesses the ability to broadcast, manipulate and recieve low frequency electromagnetic radiation, essentially rendering him a living, two-way TV station. He can see through TV and phone screens and hear through radio recievers, provided they are within range, as well as effortly control their content.
Qualities of Quirk: Panopticon has an utterly horrifying understanding of the art of subliminal messaging, slowly and subtly (or abruptly and brutally) subverting the free will of anyone unfortunate enough to be subjected to his broadcasts. He is also adept at subtle surveilance, his Quirk allowing him to monitor and track targets with little fear of reprecussion.
Strengths of Quirk: In the field of observation and information gathering, Panopticon's Quirk is extremely difficult to avoid while remaining in civilization and its mental effects are devastating.
Weaknesses of Quirk: Obviously, the Quirk is not particularly combat oriented, rendering it completely useless in a direct, physical confrontation.
Limits of Quirk: Obviously, Tune In can't monitor or control people that have gone off grid. In addition, the subliminal messages can be overcome by someone willful (or oblivious) enough.

Biography: As a boy, Ken was always upset and confused by the people he met. Why were they so undisciplined? Why were they so unfocused? Why did they constantly feel the need to assert their place in the world? Why couldn't they all just get along?
As he grew, young Ken grew more and more discontent with all the disorder in the world. He dreamed of someday growing to become "Overseer, the Orderly Hero" and dedicated all of his time to studying and understanding how to make people behave rationally.
Try as he might, though, his vision for the world just didn't match up with those of the people he had to impress in order to become one. "You have no respect for free will." they said. "You sound more like a brainwashing cult leader than a hero."
Until one day, it clicked. The very thing he sought to destroy was the Heroes themselves. They were individualistic. Aggressively so. They were the bulwark of this chaotic and unharmonious society. In order to achieve his paradise, they would have to be destroyed.
Since striking out as a villain, the newly christened villain Panopticon has adopted a larger scale view of the world. He accepts that it will do little good to simply subdue the populace when their flamboyant costumed protectors remain. He accepts that, in order to build a new order, the old systems must be eliminated. And so, to that end, he grit his teeth (metaphorically, of course) and joined the Dark Tree in spite of the individualist inclination of its members as an itelligence and surveilance specialist.
Personality: Panopticon is, if nothing else, unfailingly courteous and professional, speaking with a businesslike tone at all times. He speaks in a flat, monotone voice and is almost entirely unexpressive, perhaps owing to his lack of an actual face.
Cold and calcuating, he is quite the control freak and becomes agitated and unstable when in a particularly chaotic situation (though he still never actually raises his voice). He is extremely intelligent, but has very little ability to understand and account for human emotions. A perfectionist through and through, he just can't understand why some people find his plans, methods and demeanor disturbing.
On that note, while Panopticon accepts the mantle of "villain", as he does oppose heroes, he does not consider himself evil or amoral. In his eyes, he is a champion of order in a chaotic world that needs to be set straight.
