A while back I shared the story of an original villain in this thread, I’d like to do this again this time with my favorite villain I’ve created. (I should probably also do this with some of my good guys sometime but that happens when i want to)
The villain I want to share with you today is Logan O’Sullivan A.K.A The Wondrous Weapon-Man.
Born in Newbridge, Ireland in 1941 in a catholic family of 3. Though his family was not originally from Ireland, but from America. As his great-great grandparents had emigrated to the U.S.A due to the great famine. His father Donald O’Sullivan decided to once again move back to the United States in search of greener pastures. Deciding to move to Montgomery, Alabama. There Logan lived a normal catholic life. Though a great sense of nationalism and hate of the other was instilled in him by not only his teachers, but his family too. His father loved America and wanted to have no ties to Ireland at all, making for an extremely nationalistic American upbringing for his 3 kids.
Logan had a great love for shooting and hunting. With his father encouraging this hobby of his, leaving most of scholarly duties behind. After having decided to drop out and join the United States military as quickly as he could. He was shown to be an excellent soldier, obedient, strong, a great shot. Though with murderous blood lust and ravenous hate toward the enemy. He was drafted to the Vietnam War in 1959, 2 years before the two nukes hit each other above Europe and caused the Pee-virus (Power Engorging Echo-virus) to create super-powered individuals. This event caused America to stop the war and close it’s borders for Europeans in fear of the virus.
His time in Vietnam was well spent, saving countless white soldiers and advancing several fronts by himself. The American government had their sights on a soldier so committed and deadly as him. Once the Pee-virus hit and Europe became the sole place for Superheros for 5 years. America finally decided to re-open its borders after those 5 years and weaker versions of the pee-virus caught on in America creating lesser heroes.
The American government, under president Lyndon B. Johnson and later Nixon, wanted America to have the top heroes and be the sole superpower with overpowered powers. This is where Logan comes in. After his duties in Vietnam he was called by the government for a special assignment. The government together with it’s top scientists it got from Germany after the second world war created a “Super-hero Killer Suit” with a newly increased military budget. However the scheme of infiltrating Europe and killing most of it’s most useful and powerful heroes was kept secret from the public.
Instead Logan was propped up as America’s number 2 hero, The Wondrous Weapon-man, while it’s actual number 1 hero, Robert Ncwatohiyade A.K.A Mr. America, was actually out and about saving people and being of great help. Logan was out in other countries, either destabilizing communistic democracies or killing heroes of great help to that country. This charade continued for over 7 years before being brought down by the Inflatable Muscle Man in France.
Where he was prosecuted and locked away in solitary confinement for life by Interpol. With the American Government denying any connection to the man. Leading to a slow and painful death in the grey walls of the prison.
