Swarm

Created 1997 by P. Rogers

Background: Swarm was one of those villains that no one took seriously, including those desperately in need of someone to look up to. Even his supervillain identity was given to him by Halfjack, during the brief period that Swarm was a member of Halfjack's Masters of Disaster (a collection of low-power misfits all trying to make names for themselves).  Halfjack felt that Swarm's "bee-sting" power sounded like a horde of angry bees.  All of that changed somewhat when Swarm gained the power to duplicate himself in to a collection of 32 identical beings.  It is unknown how he gained the power, but 32 Swarms could be a definite threat if they could ever get coordinated.

Personality/Motivation: Swarm wants respect.  When he duplicates, that just increases the amount of respect he needs, as any respect he gets is quickly lost on the horde.  He is pretty pathetic; he even argues with himself.

Quote:  "Don't laugh at me!  I'm more dangerous than I look!"
     "You know, Dalton McNeel is the number one college draft pick this year.  Imagine how much respect he gets!"

Powers/Tactics: He can create duplicates, but only one at a time.  However, since each duplicate can create one other duplicate per phase, he can fully duplicate in 5 phases.  

His tactics are non-existant.  Each Swarm will fire at the target which most recently annoyed him.  He rarely has enough sense to delay his action unless given a direct order by someone else.

Appearance: Greek, 5'7", exercises occasionally, has a "beer belly" and a thinning hairline.
