Highlander XTREME

The is another villain emerging in the Aryaine Kingdom. He is consumed with animosity; considering he made his public debut by killing politicians and destroying banks in order to commit thefts for as long as he desired, without regard for the consequences.
He may or not be the most reckless criminal ever. Depends on how people perceive them.
==Biography==
===Background===
Malcolm Sizemore is a renowned mercenary, gambler, and thief—a wanted man in every city and country he has visited. Even though he has an explosive temper, he possesses a strict sense of criminal honor, often enforced at the business end of his double-barreled shotgun MAXIMAL. 
According to various sources, he survived the PROJECT-G/NEX War as Cromatia has been hidden from the megacorporation after a successful heist that involved stealing a MEGA-CLOAK technology. As the Dawn of Era: An Uprising comes, he has decided to become a supervillain and designed his own outlandish costume to team up with QUADRA Shooter, as the latter has been expecting his appearance.
===Dawn of Era: An Uprising===
Highlander XTREME was another new era supervillain who debuted during New Heroes, Another Ultimatum, robbing NEXTECH Man of his technology so that he could improve his equipment to fight him and create his own outlandish costume to help people recognise him, as he clearly does not care about being detected or caught live by the media on his crimes.
====True Ultimatum====
As the planet has been drowned into chaos after LORD ANNIHILATOR unleashed his new army, The tabloid headlines of the Aryaine Kingdom read: "NEXTECH MAN ROBBED BY MYSTERIOUS VILLAIN, 'HIGHLANDER XTREME'! EXPERIMENTAL WEAPONS FALLING INTO DANGEROUS HANDS?" As he pulled out his MAXIM shotgun and shot through the museum skylight, Malcolm scoffed at his new costumed moniker, "Highlander XTREME?" Couldn't think of anything cooler than that?" before descending through the skylight to plunder the treasures within.
Clearly, both and QUADRA Shooter have shared the same goal of killing the superhero, though the two has different things to do if they succeed. If he succeeds on killing the superhero, Malcolm can seize more of his technology like prior and prevent him from rejoining the Legion in future combat operations, but his efforts are left unknown if they succeeded or not.
==Personality==
Highlander XTREME is a brash supervillain who only cares about killing and being paid. As a result, he used his position to loot banks and public locations without worried about being wanted by the government or even becoming a threat to the Aryan military. He tends to murder people who get in his way due to his irresponsible attitude, although he appears to have a decent honour code by not choosing to spare civilians, nonetheless he still killed a few in his reckless antics, particularly with explosives.
==Abilities==
 has suited himself to perform heavy combat, particularly in rapid robberies and his reckless acts of murder. His costume is notably fireproof, tear resistant and even provides adequate protection from small arms fire, similar to that of a 21st century soldier with kevlar body armour. However, this only lasts long like the compared said piece of protective equipment, meaning Malcolm can only withstand a handful of rounds to his suit before being injured and killed.
Fortunately, he is a skilled tactician that relies in the use of smoke for stealth takedowns in close combat, and to caught off guard enemies at confined spaces. Malcolm appears to be familiar of military strategy.
===Moveset===
