History
Mark Meadows only manifested Monster once. It was the result of months of frustration and injustice culminating in an imprisonment that was going to end in brutal mutilation, and the use of impure drugs in the manufacture of Meadows’ drug. Meadows was expecting to change to Jumpin’ Jack Flash.
Monster proceeded to tear the prison camp apart, slaughtering Meadows’ foes, and went on a rampage.
He was moving toward an innocent village nearby. But Meadows’ other alter egos combined their mental energies to sooth Monster’s rage, bringing back Meadows.
Description
Monster is a 60‘ tall ebony-black humanoid with the build of an Olympic weightlifter, demonic bullhorns, and an enormous erection (10‘ long, for the morbidly curious).
He is constantly howling in outrage.
Personality
KILL EVERYTHING ! Monster is the personification of Mark Meadows’ rage and has no motivation whatsoever other than destroying everything he sees.
Quotes
“nnNNRRAARRRRR!” (The Monster preaching the Gospel of Main Pain.)
DC Universe History
Monster has only emerged once thus far, during the chaos of Mageddon’s approach. After Starshine was killed, Meadows tried to summon him again anyway since he was the most powerful hero in Mark’s répertoire. The attempt was a miserable failure and summoned Monster instead, only adding to the havoc.
By himself, Monster could be another version of the Brimstone android used by Darkseid during “Legends.”
Depending on the power level of the campaign, you might want to up Growth to 10 or 12 APs. The Wild Cards Universe is generally at a lower power level than most comic universes. Unless it’s a Vertigo-style campaign, you may want to reduce Monster to PG-13 for DCU appearances (i.e., not having a phallus large enough to be used as a support beam).
