Reznik Krall

Reznik Krall, also known as Tygr, was a posthuman with the power of haemokinesis. A former member of the StB, he was a notorious vigilante and rival of the Rook. After he kidnapped and murdered the Rook and the Queen's first son, Matt, he was killed in turn by Marshal Underwood.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Reznik shares the same basic origin story as the Rook and Saint Sal, two other well-known former vigilantes. All three had cruel fathers, who resented and ultimately murdered their wives for the insult of bringing a not-quite-human son into the world. All three boys had one loyal friend to whom they clung, until their fathers tried to take that comfort away from them too, ordering them never to see their friend again.
In Reznik's case, he chose to help his friend leave town. The friend was never seen again. As time went by, Reznik tried to recapture the feeling he had gotten from his friend, "the perfect calm that followed solving a problem that had felt overwhelming". This led him to vigilantism.Bad Things Happen
At some stage in his life, Reznik was a member of the StB, the secret police in communist Czechoslovakia.quipquipquip: "Are there any prevalent, infamous evil posterhumans in this story?"
===Vigilante===
As a vigilante, Tygr was considered one of the best. He, the Rook and Saint Sal were sometimes allies, and always rivals.
However, eventually both the Rook and Sal gave up vigilantism and began fighting crime on the right side of the law. The Rook married, and was a devoted father of two sons. Reznik saw that Corbin was vulnerable where his children were concerned,quipquipquip: "I just wanted to say that your recent single parent superhero playing with babies fic has killed me dead." and set out to prove that his former rival was the weaker for it.Origins, Issue #4, p. 178 He kidnapped Corbin's four-year-old son Matt, using his posterpower to torture and kill the child, bleeding him dry and creating a knife from the trace amounts of iron in his blood.
The Rook's older son, Marshal, found the body. Tygr attacked him, taunting, and Marshal in his anger and grief did not hold back — using his superior strength, he put his fist through Reznik's skull, killing him.
==Appearance==
Reznik had thin lips and crooked teeth. He spoke with a thick Serbian accent. When in costume, he wore a fanged mask over the lower half of his face.
==Powers and abilities==
Reznik was a haemokinetic poster with the ability to manipulate blood. As the average adult baseliner has around a hundred thousand miles of veins in their body, this allowed Reznik to manipulate bodies and immobilize people at will. It also allowed him to draw together trace amounts of iron from a person's bloodstream to create an object, such as a knife.
==Trivia==
*Reznik is a name of Yiddish origin meaning "butcher" or "ritual slaughterer".
