Glorion
Since the mid-1950’s 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 Watch Tower officials 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, Watch Tower is unable to take any 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.
