Personality
*Professor Cerdis had an amoral, selfish, and arrogant personality. He expressed the belief that every living person was merely a test subject for him to dominate, and that it would be beneficial for society for everyone to submit to him. He reveled in dominating others. He sadistically kicked an already downed Specter and filmed him defeated & in pain, and also took a dominating pose on top of the weakened General Desp. He got aggravated if it were implied his knowledge or expertise was lacking in some area, even if it were an area he said he didn’t care about. His confidence and arrogance sometimes caused him to underestimate his foes, leading to defeat. A notorious example of this was when he attempted to abduct The White Chimera. As Cerdis bragged that White Chimera would be completely under his control, the terrorist swiftly stole the corrupt scientist’s scalpel from him and inflicted a potentially fatal wound. Cerdis’s last defeat left him a broken man. He confessed to his deeds and expressed remorse before his lifeless body was discovered. He had a habit of provoking others. He stated to General Desp that he was going to make the unhinged patriot burn an American flag, made an offensive comment he knew would incense both Dynamo and Therianthrope (and enjoyed the feeling of having two ethnicities glaring holes into his neck), and mocked Ultra Kate about the Oklahoma City Bombing. He also interrupted Specter’s relaxation time just so he could talk about his achievements. If someone interrupted him, however, he became irate. He had little sense of devotion, betraying Specter and planning to make Dynamo his pawn. However, he did treat Lady Darkphoenix better after she helped save his life. Grateful for her help, he pledged to devote more time to finding a cure for her. Although he engaged in other activities as well, he kept his promise, resulting in advances in treating her condition. Before his death he wrote her a note expressing sincere regret for not doing more to help her. Darkphoenix noted that the date on the letter had been botched, a sign that something had been wrong as Cerdis was usually so precise. While Cerdis wasn’t shy about backstabbing allies, he kept his promises to those he bribed. If he bribed someone with medicine, he actually provided them with medicine and admitted that it may or may not help. While Cerdis said he didn’t believe in the supernatural, he faithfully held meditation sessions in which he practiced Kuji-In, a set of hand seals and chants associated with ninja. What benefit he expected to receive from this is unknown. He told Ultra Kate that he would sell his soul to have her powers, but agreed that this was not an experiment that should be attempted. 
Appearance
*Professor Cerdis was a male Caucasian human with blond hair with three tufts. He wore a white lab coat, a black shirt, periwinkle pants, a light gray belt, and reddish-brown boots. He also wore light gray eyeglasses.
Entry
*Ultra and Karate Kate went to visit their friend, General Packett, who had fallen ill. To their shock, he apologized and pulled out a bomb. Ultra Kate found herself transformed into Hyper Kate. Her super body absorbed the force of the bomb, leaving everyone unnerved but unharmed. The shaken superheroines brought the stunned soldier to the Hall of Super Justice. Super Creature was helping to treat and comfort the trio when a package arrived. It turned out that an evil scientist named Professor Cerdis was responsible for the attack. He had subjected Packett to mind control, convincing him that the Super Kates were a threat to the country and must be assassinated. After Super Creature helped the trio recover, Ultra and Karate Kate started their pursuit of Cerdis. They found him after a confrontation with his assistant, Lady Darkphoenix. When the heroines told him he could be using his gifts for good, he told them that every living person was merely a test subject for him to dominate, shocking them with his callousness and arrogance. He then claimed that it would be beneficial for society for everyone to summit to him, further fanning the heroines’ anger. They managed to capture him, but he in turn managed to escape and flee to Japan. There he attacked the populace, turned Hiro Chibana into Therianthrope, and subjected Chemorph to mind control, sending the chemical morph after fellow vigilantes Blur and Dolores de Misterio. During their final confrontation, the Super Kates and their allies were having difficulty battling him. The cocky Cerdis made the mistake of mocking Ultra Kate for not preventing the Oklahoma City Bombing. Ultra Kate found herself transforming into Hyper Kate, giving her the power to defeat Cerdis. Cerdis was left badly shaken by this experience. Shortly afterwards, he died of a heart attack in prison. The prison guards told the Kates that Cerdis had expressed regret for his actions, causing them to hope that he, like Zephyrot, had repented of his sins before dying. 
Description of powers, abilities, and weapons
*Professor Cerdis was very highly intelligent and skilled at building and repairing machinery. He was also a good fighter and knew how to hypnotize people. 
Weaknesses
*Professor Cerdis was susceptible to the same weaknesses as an ordinary person (extreme temperatures, poison gas, etc.). 
Trivia
*Professor Cerdis is not a parody of any particular character. He’s more a representation of science without morality. His last name is similar to one I saw on a list of scientists.
*He and General Desp are the only characters to use the term brainwashing and variants thereof. Usually in the Karaverse other terms, such as indoctrination or bending someone to one’s will, are used. It should be noted, however, that Cerdis often uses other terms as well as if to lessen the severity of his actions, similar to what some people do in real life.
