Background:  Since the mid-1950s there has existed a European political figure known as Glorion. Glorion's distinguishing features include extensive knowledge of politics and haute couture. He also has magnetic powers and only three fingers (and a thumb) on each hand. His personal bodyguard consists of four supers. He is well-liked and is an aggressive proponent of European unity and making Europe a world power.  He claims he is a German Jew who, as a child, survived the concentration camps during World War II.

Known only to high level officials in the world intelligence community is that Glorion is also the mastermind behind the forty year old supervillain group Richter 13.  Because of his political prestige, wealth and careful strategic planning, these officials have never been able to take any direct action against Glorion.  Richter 13 has a long history as European based mercenaries and terrorists, conducting a variety of criminal activities designed to further the goals of European unity, preferably under the benevolent rule of Glorion himself.

Glorion

Personality / Motivation:   Glorion is a manipulator interested only in becoming the dictator of a unified Europe.  He is incredibly intelligent and amazingly charming.  Very few people ever realize they are being manipulated in any way.  Those that do are far too intimidated to ever speak against him.

Quotes:  "Europe will be the greatest economic power on Earth."

Powers / Tactics:  In addition to his intelligence and charm, Glorion can control magnetic forces.  His powers are augmented by a special body harness he unobtrusively under his clothing.  Unaugmented, he can manipulate about 3.5 tons of ferrous metal or project magnetic blasts capable of deforming armor grade steel.  Augmented, his capacity soars to 10 tons and there are few substances which can withstand his magnetic blasts.  At any time, he can raise a magnetic force field to protect himself.

Glorion has a bodyguard of four powered individuals.  As such, he rarely needs to enter combat himself.  However, he has decades of combat experience at his disposal and should never be taken lightly in a fight.

Appearance:  Glorion ages at a retarded rate, so although he was born in 1934, he has the physical appearance and health of a man in his early-30s.  He is 5'8" tall and weighs 150 lbs.  He engages in moderate regular exercise.  He has black hair and dark gray eyes.  He has only three fingers (and a thumb) on each hand.
