Villains: Puppeteer (Unknown)
Born in the slums of the Old Town district of Harking City, the boy who would become The Puppeteer was the son of a toymaker who tried to bring as much joy to the poor children as possible. However, after his father was killed by loan sharks, the boy was moved from foster home to foster home, like a little toy that nobody wanted. After running away from a foster home at the age of 12, he ran back to his father's abandoned toy store and tried to relive his lost childhood. 20 years later, children started going missing from their homes and turning up dead on their parents' doorstep. The one thing linking all of them was their faces were sliced up to resemble puppets, and with a the phrase "Naughty Boy/Girl" carved into their chests. After a combined investigation by Black Streak and Carla Simmons, they discovered the place where the children were being taken: the abandoned toy store on Maple St. It turns out that the boy had some how attained superpowers, and had been kidnapping children and forcing them to play with him in his bedroom. If any of them refused, well you know what happened next. The superpower he'd gained was the ability to shoot strings out of his fingers that would attach themselves to the intended person. Once attached, he could wiggle around his fingers and control them like a puppet; hence the name "Puppeteer". Once he was captured by Black Streak and Carla Simmons, he was committed to the Belbridge Insane Asylum, and was nearly tortured to death by Dr. Franz Leiberman. He was unfortunately spared, and was later broken out and joined King Ace's gang.
