Rampage X: The Villains

Waterloo: The Living Water Tower

In the quiet town of Waterloo, the water tower stood as a silent guardian for decades, its stoic presence a familiar sight to the townsfolk. But beneath its mundane exterior, a secret lay dormant. Scum Labs, a shadowy corporation with a penchant for the extraordinary, had been experimenting with a mysterious substance known as Liquid X—a concoction capable of animating the inanimate.

The transformation was gradual. At first, the water tower simply quivered, as if shivering in the cold. Then, one fateful night, it stirred to life, its steel legs bending and flexing with newfound purpose. Inspired by Henrique Alvim Corrêa's depiction of the Martian Tripods, the water tower adopted a sinister form, its once benign reservoir now a glaring eye that surveyed the town with malevolent intent.

As the Living Water Tower, it became known as Waterloo, a name that echoed both its origin and the battle it would come to symbolize. No longer a mere container of life-giving water, it sought to dominate and destroy, its rampage fueled by the dark energy of Liquid X. It was as if the spirit of Corrêa's alien invaders had found a new vessel, one rooted in the very heart of humanity's infrastructure.
