Powers and Abilities
The Pit Worm was a cyclopean centipede (in both senses of the word) with the ability to fire heat beams from its eye.
History
The Black Mesa complex is a private high-tech research installation (with strong ties to the U.S. Government) located somewhere in the American Southwest. An accident in the Anomalous Materials Lab caused a dimensional breach into the world known as Xen.
The Pit Worm’s exact niche in the Race-X forces is unknown, but it is most likely designed to penetrate fortresses from underground.
Description
The Pit Worm is a gigantic green centipede with two pairs of arms (the upper pair being somewhat larger than the lower) on the shoulder hump near its head, which is dominated by its baleful glowing green eye.
Personality
The Pit Worm will simply study intruders with its cyclopean eye, confident in its immunity to harm. After a round or two (or immediately, if attacked), the Pit Worm fires heat vision blasts from its eye or attacks those within range of its arms.
DC Universe History
This would be a moderate-level threat to the Earth, probably a good challenge for Young Justice or a similarly powered team. It might be a good solo challenge for Batman or a similar character.
