Martyr

Martyr was once an evangelist with a strong opposition to the idea of superheroes and villains, believing that the public was engaging in a form of idol worship he broke away from tradition to form his own cult known as the Purists.
With the Purists Martyr would preach against the "evils" of hero worship, during one particularly volatile rally Martyr was struck by a magic bolt from a mystic trying to defend themselves from a violent assault by several Purists.
Believing himself to be corrupted Martyr tried to "cleanse" himself by overdosing on extremely dangerous energies he thought to be of divine heritage - however the energies only worsened the magic in his system and coupled with his growing madness his inner-fears soon came to the surface and he underwent a terrible transformation.
Upon seeing his new form Martyr went completely insane and believed that only through the destruction of mind and body could mankind truly be unified - murdering many of the old Purists he would begin to create a new Purist Cult devoted to his new ideals.
Seeking to twist the body and mind in new and unthinkable ways Martyr is a dangerous and utterly remorseless opponent who has yet to be captured but would no doubt be sentenced to the Big House, though it is unknown how many heroes it would take to accomplish such a task.
