Full Name: Douglas Cohen
Nicknames: Prof. Nefarious
Age: 29
Height: 5'9''
Weight: 128 lbs.
Gender: M
Race: Cyborg-Human
Alliance: Evil
Home: Washington, D.C.
Franchise: Absolute (Original)
Physical Description: The Professor is a fairly nerdy man. His autumn hair is balding and his natural eyesight is absolutely horrible. However, for someone as brilliant as he, that isn't a problem. His villainous attire is a white lab-coat, fresh and clean. A metal pack clings to his back like a large, metal tick with tubes running in and out of his flesh. Two high-tech monocles attach to his face, letting him see everything on every wavelength. He proudly displays his artificial enhancements, grafted onto his skin.
As a civilian, he covers up these enhancements. Make-up and synthetic skin can cover up some things, while the pack on his back is easily removed. He wears a pair of glasses, mundane to the untrained eye, that are only slightly less sophisticated than his monocles.
However he is dressed, he is a skinny man and athletically unimpressive. His skin is pale and oily and his arms are strangely long.
Weapons: Genius that he is, the Professor has invented hundreds of weapons. His most-used are his backpack and Hot/Cold-Ray. The backpack, while simultaneously enhancing the Professor’s physical prowess, is also equipped with a dozen spider-like, robotic claws with grips as strong as a snapping-turtle's. The backpack can also electrify anything that it grabs with its claws.
The Hot/Cold way is a unique combination freeze-ray/heat-ray that the Professor invented. It runs on its own power-source and the only threat of overheating come when it is on the hot setting. The heat is strong enough to melt through human flesh in a single shot at its medium setting.
Abilities/Powers: The Professor’s only natural-born power is his super-intelligence. This was inherited from his father, a super-hero known as Brilliance. However, through cybernetic enhancements, Nefarious has increased his strength and agility to superhuman levels. He also has a device installed in his body that can grant him access to computers, similar to technopathy.
Skills: The Professor’s super-intelligence provided a vast ability for understanding useful skills. He can usually just read through one book on a subject and become an expert on it.
Personality: Professor Nefarious tends to do everything big. Upon once creating a device that could teleport individuals, he made it much larger than it needed to be for dramatic effect. Nefarious is also incredibly confident, to the point of doing such cliche evil things as leaving a room while his foe is in a death-trap. Despite being evil, the Professor is a fairly affable man, never raising his voice in anger and always smiling.
While the Professor is extremely grandiose and over the top, Douglas Cohen is a nervous wreck. Having a secret identity has wracked his nerves and he is often seen fidgeting his hands, worried someone has discovered his double-life. This has only gotten worse since his wife divorced him.
History: Douglas Cohen was born Douglas Asimov, the son of genius and super-hero Ivo Asimov, AKA Brilliance. However, when Douglas turned 2, the world was in conflict from alien invasion. Earth's military alone was no match, and the only hope were those brave men and women in costumes.
Eventually, Douglas turned 8. But things were beginning to change. The world governments were putting increased reliance on the super-heroes. One super-hero, the Patriot, had actually been made general of the US army. And things only got worse from there-- the COJ was slowly formed, a group of the most powerful super-heroes assmbled to coodinate world affairs during the war. The sole problem was that nobody bothered to disband the COJ after the war ended.
Douglas was too young to really understand. At least, until he hit puberty. Then his inherited powers kicked in. He began to see that the COJ had made non-super's second-class citizens and were demonizing their enemies. These thoughts ran through Douglas's head as he was enrolled in the Asimov Academy, a school founded post-war for the children of people with abilities. It was there that Douglas picked up much of his knack for science, as well as befriend a handful of people who would go on to become successful heroes and villains.
Douglas attented MIT, where, despite his appearance, he developed a love-live with a girl named Vanessa. The two dated for a mere month but Douglas, not experienced in relationships, professed his love for Vanessa all of a sudden and in front of everyone. She publically humiliated him by breaking up with him and refusing his love. Douglas, genius that he was, did the most logical thing.
He killed her.
The murder did not go unnoticed, and Douglas was taken in by the authorities. However, due to his heritage, he was shown great leniency and was only charged with manslaughter. Before his father could pay bail, however, Douglas panicked and, injuring himself, created a bomb using items found in the infirmiry. He blew out the wall in his cell and escaped.
Douglas knew that he'd never wanted to become a hero. Seeking out an old friend from the academy, now a bank-robber known as Oz, Douglas was talked into helping with a crime. During the robbery, Douglas' face was in plain view of the security camera half-a-dozen times. Practically snapping, Douglas donned a white lab-coat and went underground for six months.
He emerged as Professor Nefarious and, televising to half the world, he revealed a device that could stop the Earth's rotation. In return for 500 billion dollars, he wouldn't activate it. His father easily recognized his own son and sent him a message ordering him to stop. Nefarious went on with his plan, until a small strike-force of heroes burst into his hide-out and apprehended him.
In a max-security prison, Nefarious only got one visitor; his father, Ivo Asimov, now retired. In anger, his father disowned his son and left in a huff. The two never spoke again.
Needless to say, the Professor escaped. This time, he tried to lay low with a new last name. However, a surprise came up that no mad scientist could have expected: love. While living in an apartment in New York, Douglas met a woman named Olivia Sinclair. The two dated for a year before getting married. Douglas even went as far as entrusting Olivia with his secret identity.
Unfortunately, Nefarious was too obsessed with his work. After three years of marriage, Olivia divorced Douglas due to his spending too much time as Nefarious. The divorce struck Nefarious hard, especially considering Olivia was pregnant at the time.
Currently, Nefarious is working on a new project while trying to get the divorce straightened out. Whatever the project is, he has enough help from his robot assistants and the few hired hands he picks up off the black-market.
He's not lonely.
Really.
