Private Truth
Elias Vance doesn’t hate heroes.
He finds them inefficient.
As a child, he watched powered individuals:
Escalate situations
Ignore collateral damage
Rely on spectacle instead of systems
He learned something early:
“Strength skips accountability.”
So he decided to build a world where strength hesitates.
How He Got Rich
Not weapons. Not armor.
Control tech.
Stabilization platforms for injured responders
Neuromuscular assist devices
Non-lethal compliance systems
“De-escalation tools” for riots and prisons
Everything he builds has a perfectly reasonable use.
And a second mode.
Why No One Touches Him
His tech is everywhere
Cities rely on it
Heroes unknowingly train with derivatives of it
Courts love his “non-lethal” metrics
If a hero accuses him, he calmly replies:
“Describe the injury.”
There isn’t one.
Personality
Attractive in a composed way
Soft voice
Perfect posture
Never raises his hands
Never rushes
He doesn’t sneer. He observes.
“I don’t fight heroes,” “I audit them.”
Why He Became Null Vector
A “null vector” in physics is a force that:
Exists
Acts
But produces no visible movement
That’s his goal.
Heroes still act. They just… don’t go as far.
What Other Villains Say
“He doesn’t lose his temper.”
“He doesn’t enjoy chaos.”
“If he targets you, it’s because you matter.”
Villains hire him to:
Soften heroes
Now its your job to try to take him down and not be captured by this atractive cool yet cold villan.
