Shiv
This thread is a spinoff from Antimatter and Stalwart Stan, where Shiv first appeared. He attracted enough of a following to develop his own storyline, particularly during his prison term after the attack on Stalwart Stan.
Fractious and wild, Shiv is determined to stay a supervillain. But he's got people helping him to become a better one, with less collateral damage. He's also learning more about his superpower, which focuses on sharp things, learning to make not just weapons but also tools. |
