Flenser is – or was – one of the few seriously psychotic supervillains to be found running about in the Emergence Campaign. Most of them are either saner than this or in jail – but Flenser was pretty difficult to catch. Given his ability to create his own super-powered minions, he found it easy to found his own supervillanigroup – the Ten Demons – and later added in a genuine warrior-demon (most commonly known as Afreet) after he recruited a competent mystic or two. Flenser was eventually hurled into the depths of hell when the Old Mandate interrupted an attempt to re-summon the recently-banished Afreet.
Flenser was – originally – loosely based on a random character rolled up in the original Marvel Super Heroes system. Even for champions players, that’s a pretty useful game to have access to (and is now available for download in various places online). Stuck for inspiration? A few random die rolls will almost certainly provide some.
