Name: Dante Karasawa
Age: 42/N/A
Gender: Male
Race: Human/Android
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Power Level: High-tier Low (3)/Low-tier High (7) without modifications, up to High-tier High (9) with modificiations
Timeline: Modern
Appearance: A tall man of about 6'3" with a strong muscle tone, but not the super-bulky look of a bodybuilder. His skin tone and facial features suggest a mix of Oriental and Mexican heritage. No matter what the occassion, he's always dressed in a well-pressed business suit and his hair is always neatly slicked back.
Personality: Dante is a very cold-hearted individual who sees people as nothing more than another commodity to deal in. He values wealth and status above all things and uses his gifted intelligence to pursue them both legally and through the criminal underworld.
History: Dante Karasawa has long been a kingpin of organized crime, one of the most dangerous men in the world. On the surface, he has thousands of legitimate and semi-legitimate businesses that deal in anything and everything imaginable, but his primary ventures involve technology development and piracy. The highest-end computer and weapons technology in the world come directly from his laboratories.
So it was of little surprise that when he and his men captured a probe belonging to an interdimensional overlord and managed to use it to open a portal to a storage pocket dimension, he took the opportunity and headed a siezure group to gather whatever they could. The heavy firepower of the automated security systems forced them back, but not before they got their hands on military-grade machinery.
Back on Earth, Karasawa poured his resources into reverse-engineering it, and developed the collosal mechanical golem that would be known as H.A.C.S. He developed a method of mass-producing the already nearly-invincible juggernaut and soon had a secret army of his own, and when he was killed and his army destroyed by the combined effort of Iron Man and Pulse, the former whom he had tried to steal the power suit from to use it for his own, the technology was used to build a new, more powerful android body for him.
Immortality was truly an incredible feeling.
Powers: While he has no powers as a human, his android body gifted him with super strength, speed and reaction time, immunity to psionics, poisons, drowning and suffocation, and even prevents him from dying by transferring his backed-up consciousness to another shell. With optional modifications that he has off most of the time due to his necessity to blend in, he can equip a rapid-fire version of H.A.C.S.' sonic cannon, flight thrusters allowing him to fly at up to Mach 4, a plasma discharge cannon, and any number of other weapon systems, including machine guns, rockets and lasers. The alloy his shell is made from is polarized so that it is harder than diamond and is immune to magnetic fields.
Weapons: Unless he has one of his modifications equipped, the only thing he has with him at all times is a 9mm silenced pistol he affectionately calls his pea shooter. If he is expecting combat, he may also have a rifle of some sort, anything from a machine gun to a pulse rifle. It is really whatever he can get his hands on, as he is fully experienced with all one-man weaponry and an extensive array of heavy artillery and machines.
Weakness: He cannot use energy manipulation and, while he possesses scanners as an android, he cannot detect energy.
