Fear Itself

Meet my first villain.  You won't want to make him angry.  I had avoided mind control as a hero, because it didn't seem particularly heroic to me to force foes to fight one another.  As a villain, though, that was not a consideration.

I was lucky to get the name Fear Itself.  I'm sure over the years, other folks on Infinity tried and failed to get it.  Several folks told me that I should not use "genii" in the description, but jinn (or djinn) instead.  Checking now, they were right.  Oh well; I think it's a good description anyway.

For his look, I went as monstrous and evil as I could.  I'm sure there are those who could have done better, but I know I don't want to open my bedroom closet and see that.

He didn't start out as much of a soloist, but teamed, he was a significant asset.  Late in his career he started slotting purple invention sets.  Those, and his other sets and high-end powers allowed him to solo very well.  Even then, he'd normally be teamed.  (Why play a multiplayer game and then solo?)
