Plasmaniac

Plasmaniac is a mentally unstable and incredibly powerful individual whose entire body is made of plasma. He emerged as a psycho-terrorist manipulating Quantis in his early supervillain career, but was soon found out and exiled. He continued to return and cause some much-unneeded chaos, and at one point this became so severe that Telekineticlops attempted to destroy him by teleporting him into the core of the sun. However, Telekineticlops realized too late that the radioactivity would mutate him before the heat killed him, so Plasmaniac was permuted into a flaming, indestructible supervillain who already happened to be partly insane. Plasmaniac, as he became known, can now fly, control plasma around him (this includes things such as flames, stars, the contents of most nuclear devices, the glowing physical part of electrical arcs, and lightsaber blades), and melt most things he touches. It was later discovered that Plasmaniac is insane because he was raised by armadillos in Oklahoma, and his destructive tendencies are at their root simply his way of taking revenge on the universe, with his ultimate goal being to destroy Oklahoma and to push armadillos to extinction.

Plasmaniac controls a small robotic army that he commandeered from Quantis' Robotic Army, and commands them from his flagship, the Desecrator.

Biography
Plasmaniac was born in an incredibly poor town somewhere in Oklahoma, and had an incredibly difficult and traumatizing childhood. By the time he turned 18, he had endured abuse of many kinds, heartbreak, the dissolution of his hometown, crime, corruption, natural disaster, and family tragedy. He sealed himself off by resorting to science and mathematics, living in a universe of absolutes and universal reality, no matter how random things appear on the human scale. Eventually he became a protege of Quentin DeGuerre, and was equipped to explore the nature of reality all the more deeply. As DeGuerre moved further and further beyond the constraints of convention and law, Plasmaniac began to ponder the nature of scientific progress, and in a single epiphany, he realized that science as done by humans was only one expression of the eternal struggle of life against death, and that all the pain caused by misused science was only a subset of the suffering endured by life as it struggled to survive. Plasmaniac realized that the source of all suffering was the existence of complex life, and that the only solution to suffering was to make biological life impossible. In an infinite universe with the laws of physics as they are, life is bound to keep cropping up over and over, always struggling and causing even more pain. So he vowed to discover the secret to alter the laws of physics and return the universe to a state of uniform plasma from which no molecule, much less a living thing, could arise.

From that point on, Plasmaniac established his cult from within the ranks of what was now Quantis' research machine. He attracted scientists whom he could blind to the consequences of their discoveries merely by the lure of discovery itself, and promised them the freedom to pursue the very deepest secrets of the universe itself. He called his philosophy and think tank the Bright Void, their motto "Following the Light of Infinity." Eventually he engineered a hive mind of his most insightful geniuses, and constructed it in a way that stripped away their inhibitions, but left them extremely susceptible to Plasmaniac's suggestion. He then directed their thought towards the fundamental forces of nature, and specifically whether they could be altered. After years of breakthroughs, they finally discovered a way to create a particle that differed from the rest of the universe in its fundamental constants, and Plasmaniac needed only to ask the question in order to elicit detailed technical blueprints for a machine that could produce such particles in cosmic quantities. In particular, he sought a device that could produce two particles: one to lower the electromagnetic force, and one to lower the strong nuclear force. Each particle existed with a lower-energy form of that force, and when it interacted with other particles, the two would average out, both now slightly lower than the universal constant. With enough particles, spreading out throughout the universe, they could lower the average for all matter in the universe. The electromagnetic lowering would ensure that all matter became plasma, with nuclei no longer protected by their electron clouds, and the strong nuclear lowering would ensure that no element larger than Hydrogen could ever be stable. With this device, Plasmaniac plans to plunge the universe into fire and leave it as a vast expanse where chemistry itself has no meaning. He intends to make it a single Bright Void, and thereby not only take revenge on the universe for the pain it has caused him, but cut off suffering at its source.
