#SciFriday Challenge 3 – A not so super Superhero
In this challenge, we have to write a character profile for a Superhero not really super… A D-List superhero, one that has a power no one wants or not so great, weird, dumb even… Or a character far from a superhero as possible… All this in 2k a characters post (i/e posted in the comment box)
Name: Armageddon
Race: Human/Mutant
Class: Rogue
Alignment: Neutral Evil (formerly Chaotic Good). A selfish jerk

Weapon: n/a
Skill/Power: Chaos bringer, Discord maker. He influences people based on charisma
Language: basic English
Familiar/animal/companion: he has a green giraffe called Magda. Only he can see it. And only when he has activated his full power. Magda is usually the one giving him his instructions.
Background
Formerly known as God’s Wrath. Employee of the month since his beginning at Guardian Angels co., a Superheroes provider. He was fired after an accident. He was struck by lightning one day, and the nano-robots making his tecno-suit were reprogrammed before entering his bloodstream, thus initiating a mutation.
Now he is a low ranked employee of Supervillains inc. His results are average and he doesn’t really enjoy his work, thus doing it sloppily.
Power in action
His power is, in theory, quite the gig. He can influence people to do his bidding. To activate his power, he needs to get some alcohol in his system. This way he increases his charisma, which ability is at the root of his power. He got to full power when completely drunk, nearing alcoholic coma state. The stronger the quantity of alcohol, the stronger the power… This is when Magda usually starts to give him instructions, resulting more often in public disturbance and city property destruction.
When he got enough alcohol to do some damage, he loses control and usually forgets his mission.
