I have his powers pretty well developed, but I'm still working on his name and origin. For a name I'm thinking something along the lines of "The Quantum Man" or "Doctor Quantum".
His origin will involve a particle accelerator, either an accident or a deliberate experiment (I have multiple stories I'm thinking of, I haven't chosen which one I want to use yet).
Anyway, he's a scientist named Timothy Rees who thinks that superhumans including both heroes and villains are no good for humanity and are responsible for all of the world's ills and problems, his objective is to exterminate every superhuman on earth except for himself.
His powers allow him control over quantum physics and give him abilities such as:
- Being in two places at once
- Making copies of himself (this is not the same ability as the last one)
- Instantaneous teleportation
- Flight
- Survival in space and harsh enviroments
- Quantum Perception giving him reaction times and senses down to the Planck level, he can see and detect invididual particles and quantum wave functions at the smallest scales in the universe.
- Manipulation of all forms of energy (except magic). This includes blasts, controlling, draining, charging, rerouting, fine - tuning manipulations, etc.
- Quantum Immortality, so even if his body is completely destroyed he can stil survive by being both dead and alive at the same time as the wave functions collapse and then reconstituting a new body in a place where there are functions entangled to his previous consciousness.
- Limited time manipulation (for example he can stop time in a 10 - meter radius around himself for a few minutes)
- Opening wormholes
- Limited control over the collapse of wave functions, which gives him probability - altering abilities
He's also a genius scientist, not on the level of Tony Stark or Reed Richards, but smart enough to invent technology to augment his powers and help defeat top tiers.
how would technology be beneficial to someone with that level of ability in manipulating reality? technically, he could be retarded and still conjure up some fancy tech [which may or may not be useless] just by making the "quantum possibility" of it existing become reality.
quantum powers are very plot-device-y, or otherwise disinteresting. the broad from supreme power, for instance.
also, if he thought about it for a second, he could achieve his "no superhumans" agenda as easily [and more concretely, assuming he's not having a mental breakdown] as wanda got rid of mutants.
The thing is that his powers are limited, and he can't use them too much without becoming exhausted and they can't just do anything.
However I was thinking of introducing a godlike future version of him who is a major cosmic threat that the normal version has to ally with his enemies to defeat.
Although you gave it a good shot, you're nowhere near Scoob's league of dream-killing criticism. The man spends his free time at orphanages telling four year olds that their drawings of clowns and horses are clitche.
He then punches them in the face.
Couldn't his weakness be that he realises his own ideals are flawed ? Or that while he has the means to annihilate every Superhero he's too moral to do it .
He plans to kill himself after he completes his objective, he has thought of a device he can build to do so but he doesn't want to build it until it's necessary so no one can use it against him.
