Super Name (Public Super Identity):	Baghead
Secret Identity (Citizen's Real Name):	Rex Madnezz
Birthplace & Birthdate/Age:	Agincourt, On. April 1st, 1973
Occupation (Citizen's Career):	Armed robbery
Race & Gender:	Classic Mutant, male
Moral Standing:	Super Villain
Appearance:	Baghead is an imposing figure often looming and staring. He stands 6' and weighs in at about 240lbs. He is rarely seen out of a his costume which consists of an orange prison jumper over a white turtleneck, combat boots and a paper bag on his head. On special occasions he may don a black and white striped prison uniform.
Super Powers:	Baghead uses fields of unreality to temporarily distort and transform the real for villainous purposes. Unreal warp energy can be used to bend the laws of nature and thereby permit the absurd. It can be used to convert any man-made or processed substance into something unlike itself. He could for example turn a brick into stew or bullet into a pea. Free from some of nature's laws, Baghead can fall and miss the ground, swan-dive onto asphalt, walk through walls, survive horrible injuries and thrive on a fast-food diet. He is stronger and faster than most normal folks.
Super Vulnerabilities:	Baghead can only bend the reality of synthetic or processed materials such as plastics, glass, processed wood, metal, concrete, nylon, rubber tires, gasoline, etc. The less removed an object is from its natural state the less its realty can be altered. The material must be in line of sight and he cannot convert more than his own mass at one time. A substance affected by unreal warp fields will return to its real state in about an hour and cannot be changed again for twenty-four hours. Unreality can be defeated by a person of good morale standing forming a strong belief that the thing happening is really unreal, coupled with a mental and physical effort akin to passing your mother-in-law's "special" cannonball meat loaf; Unbelieving away the real effects of unreality thus cannot be done without some serious grunting and changes in facial expression. Theme music: When Baghead uses his powers appropriate theme music may broadcast around him. The more demand on his power, the more audible the music. Heroes: Unable to kill a true good guy (but may wing one). Fate will always twist against him and the good guy will get away.
Personal Strengths:	Oddly likeable and charismatic despite being stark raving mad and an utter scoundrel. Baghead is a really nice guy once you get to know him. He is the kind of villain who is more fun to chase than to catch. He has convinced courts to grant him bail, parole boards let him out for good behaviour, and heroes that he is not such a bad guy.
Personal Flaws:	Stark raving mad and an utter lunatic who really should be locked up for the good of society and himself. Logic and reason seem to have fled his state of unreality. Manifestations include an uncontrollable desire to gloat and taunt, he is an insatiable media hog, detailed yet completely irrational planning to commit bizarre crimes, insane but contagious laughter. This is the kind of bad guy who would blow all his ransom money to devise the capture and death of his pursuers (who will invariably escape in the end, but not until Baghead has boastfully given away his diabolical scheme).
Attitude / Mentality:	Baghead is an old school villain though is too modest to attempt taking over or destroying the entire planet. It is difficult to enter the mind of a psychotic and thus to determine the motivation for his criminal behaviour. Some of his prison psychologists have labelled him a psychopath others a sociopathic. It is questionable however if Baghead does not know right from wrong, but just chooses to do wrong either because he enjoys thrill of it or because he is truly evil. We will let the folks with the degrees come up with the appropriate label, but it might help to examine some of his crimes to see what he is really up to... Rex is guilty of a number of truly bizarre crimes having knocked over lemonade stands, robbed Girl Guides, kidnaped janitors, defaced monuments, slandered the president, stolen prosthetic limbs, taken candy from babies, incited riots, and snarled traffic. His more profitable crimes have included armoured car heists, bank robberies, liquor store hold-ups, and kidnapping. He does not deal in drugs or commit murder, but does seem to take pleasure in property damage. Oddly it would seem the victims of his crimes are often themselves of questionable morale standing. This has been determined not to be a conscious choice as there is no evidence to suggest the criminal knew his victims well enough for this to have been a factor in selecting a target. Theologians on file have advanced the "pure evil" argument which I personally am inclined to agree with, but you may beg to differ. Here is part of an interview with Baghead from 1999... Psychologist: So why did you rob the Adult Superstore. You did not seem to have a morale problem with it. It seems hardly the kind of place to have a lot of money. We have no record of your use of pornography or interest in anything they sold at all. Baghead: Oh yeah I remember that place. It had those big red lips out front on the sign. You know the kind that open up and tell you "come in, come in, look at me I am big, I have red lips". Well they wanted me to come in didn't they? But then the door was locked. Why say come in and lock your door? That's just silly. They should take the sign down or unlock their door. They asked for it. Begged me to come in then slammed the door in my face! Just a dude out for a midnight walk and bang, "in your face". "Come in, come in", bang! "Get out, huh huh stupid Baghead no red lips for you you".... I'll show you big red lips I'll show you mine taking everything you have! I'll take everything those red lip mockers have and ever will have. I'll take it, I'll hide it in my closet and they'll never find it. NEVER!
Origin & History:	Rex was born to Mandi Madnezz, a famous test pilot and astronaut. It was only a week before Mandi's most daring mission that she had become pregnant. She would fly an experimental spacecraft directly into the path of a solar flare to test its abilities to protect an occupant against the intense radioactivity. The lead medical officer learned of her condition on the eve of her flight following a routine urine test. Knowing the mission would be set back for months if he disclosed the finding, he chose to inform neither pilot nor staff officers. His sanitized bill of health would send the one week pregnant test pilot into space. The mission proved a success, and Mandi was hailed a hero for her daring, but she won something else as well, something that would win her anything but fame. Nine months later she would give birth to a unique child. What Mandi did not know was that a previously unknown type of ionizing radiation had not only penetrated the spacecraft, but also her womb. The zygote's DNA had been torn apart and recombined to form not only new genes but entirely new chemical bonds - like those found in no other human or terrestrial being. Rex would be born a bouncing baby mutant. Rex developed his strange powers at a young age. Initially he used them to commit pranks but graduated to crime in his teens when his strange powers to bend reality began to do the same to his mind. Who could remain "normal" or "sane" when the very physical structures and boundaries that form generally accepted perceptions of a logically consistent world are so very different? In and out of jails now for much of his life, he is currently on the lamb and wanted in several states for numerous crimes. He is a regular on America's Most Wanted. A career criminal, this felon is first and foremost a thief who prefers brazen daylight robberies. He gained notoriety after a series of attacks on fast food chains in the 1990's where he left the cash and stole only cheeseburgers. This resulted in an estimated net theft of over $100,000 in stock and a ten year sentence. He only served eight months after the state could not justify the expense of keeping a superpowered hamburglar in a cell needed for so many more dangerous supervillains. Baghead most recently engineered a prison break, hijacked a commercial jet and quite literally fell into Megatropolis. As he is a Canadian and illegal alien in the US. He is wanted by The RCMP, FBI, INS, IRS, Dog, and several local, state, and provincial police authorities. There is a $10,000 reward for his capture or information leading to an arrest.
Gear:	- several stolen prison jump suits and pairs of boots - An unreal paper bag mask that does not seem to fall off and seems to have multiple bags under it such that if you take one off there is always another underneath - an assortment of firearms - a safe house in the burbs - a pocket full of cash
Sidekicks, Henchmen, Team Affiliations :	None as yet...
Opponents:	Police and anyone interested in law & order
Catchphrase:	"Unreal!", when using powers "Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo" (evil laugh) when being evil
Writing Sample:	"Just look at that guy, boy howdy, what a loon! Could his face get any more red? Look he's going to hyperventilate, hehehe! "Hey take it easy bud, you're gunna blow a gasket eh, heehehe! What time is it? I've been chained to this desk all day. Stuffy in here too, I can hardly breath. Man o'man I think its about quitn' time. Time to blow this joint. Fri-i-i-day, freeday! I'm gunna par-ar-tay to-oo-oo-night! I wish that music were less loud I'd like to here what that loony-toon is raving about. Hey did he just through a jellybean at me? "Your honour my client will not tolerate another racial slur. He is a victim of racial profiling and thus far the Crown has only entered what amounts to a hand full of jellybeans and my clients race into evidence. There is no proof before us that my client committed these crimes, tampered with the evidence or intimidated the witnesses (if there were any to begin with). We move for a dismissal." "But, but, but... we have a confession, video tapes, DNA, eye witnesses." "Move to strike, the Crown has only jellybeans. If it has something more, let us see it, if not let my client go and end this slanderous campaign against my client and his ethnicity." "There is no doubt in my mind that we have in this court a most horrid monster. There is no doubt that he has corrupted the evidence and shamed our great legal system. There is however no proof of any of this and we cannot convict a man based on intuition alone no matter how true it might be. He must therefore be turned back loose onto society. Motion to dismiss granted. God help us all.... Case dismissed!" "Gasp!", "Boo!", "You suck!", "Woe!", weeping, a fist fight with the bailiff, "Order!", bang, bang, bang, "I hope you rot in Hell Baghead!" all this emanated from the galleries of a crowded Moosejaw court room, but was quickly over shadowed by another noise... "Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo-hoo haw, woo-hoo-hoo-hoo haw haw haw!" (evil laugh).... "Time to par-ar-ar-tay!".
