Motivator

Real Name:  Frost, Karen

Origin and Background:  Even as a small child growing up in Great Britain Karen Frost displayed an intellect that was remarkable as well as a vicious coldness that was frightening.  Her parents literally lived in fear of her and sent her off to various ultra-strict private schools.

At school she was hated and friendless for being so much more intelligent than anyone else and prone to all kinds of cruel practical jokes and bullying.  That all stopped when the girl mainly responsible for Karen's harassment got up in the middle of a class, opened the sixth story window and threw herself out of it to her death.  The entire school was shocked.  Karen laughed.

Since then murder, to her, was as casual as a handshake.  She breezed through the educational system, finishing graduate school at the age of 18.  Soon after that she arranged for her parents to have 'an accident' and she collected her inheritance.  She then married her father's best friend and tried to have him done in as well and then took over his multi-million pound corporation.  Finishing her medical internship she later fully developed her powers as the disciple of a group of Tibetan lamas.  

She was expelled from their number before learning all of their secrets when she was revealed for her evil self.

Since then she has been driven by nothing but her insatiable desire for power and her lust for controlling the minds of others.

She is the number one Public Enemy of Great Britain and the most powerful telepath on Earth.

Motivator is the greatest medical doctor, surgeon, psychologist and computer scientist in the world above and beyond all possible reproach.  She has nearly a hundred various inventions at her disposal and generally operates with technology, on the average fifty to seventy-five years ahead of the rest of the world.

Combat Tactics/M.O.:  Avoids actual physical confrontation and combat if possible, but has no fear of it.  Her main tactic is to gain the psychological edge over whoever is in her way through manipulation of friends, threats to family, blackmail if not out and out Mind or Emotion Control itself.

If in trouble, she will Mind Control an opponent to attack his teammates or to harm himself or use Emotion Control to make her opponents run in fear.

If all else fails she carries a dagger coated with a deadly poison, capable of causing death in even the hardiest of foes.  If capture becomes unavoidable she will hit the toughest opponent with it.

In a vial hidden in her necklace is the antidote tot he poison.  It can save the poison victim if administered in 60 seconds.  It makes an excellent bargaining tool.

Personality/Character Traits:  Motivator is an extremely difficult person to understand, impossible to predict, slightly different every time encountered.  Two things that will never change are her uncanny intellect and her massive potential for cruelty.
