The story of Green Wolf was one that most people in Oleander knew. Christopher Lyn had been a pro gamer and streamer who played the hit game FOF (Federation of Family) for a living. However, the man harbored a great evil within him, as it turned out.

During a tournament that was held live, it was revealed that Christopher had been hacking. That was when the man's powers awakened as Christopher became a Super and began to hack in a different way. As in hacking everyone around him up into tiny pieces.

Green Wolf was a powerful Super, one who was able to control and absorb kinetic energy and unleash it in devastating ways. The villain didn't need to worry about how short their knives were, as thanks to his power he could cut you to ribbons on the other side of the city. People, cars, buildings—none of it mattered to this man. He would simply cut through it all.

The thought of facing this renowned villain caused Hope to take a step back. She raised her arms like a shield, but she doubted it'd help. Just from one glance, she could tell that Green Wolf was far scarier than anything she had seen before.

She jumped a bit when a hand landed on her shoulder, but it was just Battery. The man's skin was already glowing, and lightning poured out of his fingertips, eyes focused on the leader of Zoo.

"Who are they?" White Lamb asked, head cocked to the side.

Green Wolf took a step forward, and it took all her willpower to not take one back. "These two? Oh, they're going to be my newest entertainment." The villain flicked his knife into the air, letting it spin before catching it. "Right, you two."

She didn't like him. Green Wolf was strong. Almost everyone knew that. At such a young age, the man had managed to take over part of the city and swallow up several of the stronger groups. Despite only being in his twenties, people already considered him to be the next big bad. A villain that if you were to kill, most people would throw you a party.

"Let him go." She almost shocked herself as she somehow managed to speak up. She nodded her head to the man in the chair, which Green Wolf stood next to. They were on the other side of the room away from the villain, but that really didn't matter when it came to his powerset. "Turn yourself in, too."

The villain actually let out a snort. "No."

"Why are you doing this?" She demanded. "You're the same as Red Ape."

"I'm the same as that loser?" The bad guy sounded pretty offended when compared to the madman.

"Yeah." She nodded, gripping her hand into a fist. "You're hurting someone for no reason. You kill people for no reason. I don't get it. You have powers like me. Why would you ever decide not to use them to help people? What do you get out of being a villain?"

The man seemed to pause for a moment, actually pondering the question, humming quietly. "It's fun."

White Lamb giggled a bit, still on the table. "I've gone ahead and made everything silent, Green Wolf. Feel free to cut loose, no sound will escape this warehouse."

"Good." Green Wolf looked down at a wristwatch. "Then I'll give you both... let's say five minutes of my time. That sounds fair, right-"

Battery moved faster than any of them could react to. Green Wolf's power allowed the villain to absorb and negate kinetic energy, and since basically everything required kinetic energy, that meant the villain could make themselves untouchable. This power was rumored to have even allowed the leader of Zoo to take a single punch from the Victorian. Knowing this, Battery made a different choice.

Flight won out as opposed to fight.

She let out a yelp as the older man wrapped an arm around her and jumped to the side just in time to avoid one of the unseen slashes the villain sent at them. The attack flew through the air and hit the wall at the spot Battery had stood, tearing through it. Not skipping a beat, Battery kicked off of the ground and blasted through another wall, shoulder-tackling through it. The hero didn't stop there either. The man literally ran through the warehouse, using speed and strength to bash his way through.
