* Blue
* Orange (transformed)

 We've become what we were destined to be. **Gods and Monsters**.
—**The Goblin**
The silent and stoic **Bruce Calloway** is slowly becoming known as his monstrous and demon-like alter-ego, **The Goblin**. An orphan, Bruce wouldn't come into his own until he met his best friend, Connor Carter, in college. Brilliant geneticist in his own right, Bruce would help Connor recreate The Super Soldier Serum and personally create The Atrocity Serum. When Connor elected to take the perfected version of the serum, Bruce did not want his friend to suffer alone. He volunteered to take the wildly unstable Arcotiy Serum and was transformed into The Goblin.

He would covet this as he wished to use his alter-ego to separate Dynamics from villains strategically. However, Bruce would combat a few vigilantes such as the Heroes for Hire, The White Queen, and The Wild Pack. While these battles were small and covered up by Bruce's connections, they allowed Bruce to gain mastery over his abilities and how to become a more vicious and capable villain.

More recently, Bruce, Monica Eden, Connor, and Alonzo Harris would band together to form the supervillain team The Ultimates and begin to target the city of Las Vegas by way of releasing the beta versions of Dynamics Industries' Big Steppers but under the name of "Droids." The press release stated that their goal was to help improve the city, but their real purpose was to determine the identities of the superhumans in Vegas.

## Attributes

### Powers

**The Atrocity Serum:** Bruce was the progenitor of the wildly unstable and highly destructive Atrocity Serum. The true extent of what went into the serum is unknown, but the effects vary from person to person. After consulting Dakari, Tyler began to think it was based on personality and the person's thinking at the time. Tyler Price wanted to help Shay by being a hero in his own right, so it granted him similar abilities to Shay, so he doesn't transform or have any insane skills. However, Bruce saw himself as a monster as Bruce was helping create something that could help thousands but decided to help Connor sell it for profit. In turn, when Bruce took the serum, it transformed him into a monster which he embraced and rejoiced in his darker thoughts.

* **Transformation:** After taking the Atrocity Serum, the lab that Bruce was in when it occurred explored in a great big ball of fire. When Connor rushed in to save his friend, he discovered that Bruce had transformed into something else entirely—the Goblin. The first transformation was instantaneous, but subsequent changes were painful as Bruce actively rejected his abilities, feeling as though they were a crutch he needed to use. However, Bruce learned how to transform seamlessly and effortlessly after coming to terms with his abilities and realizing that they weren't a crutch but who he was always meant to be. When he transforms, Bruce is engulfed in flames and steps out of the fiery hell as The Goblin.
	+ **Superhuman Physiology:** Bruce's base abilities have been heightened ten-fold, and he has shown considerable mastery over his newfound skills. His strength is significant as he rendered Wendigo unconscious during his fight in Cilvia City against the Heroes for Hire. While his durability is equally high, he could not take Iron Fist's hit. His speed is up there with the likes of Ren and Shay, but his agility is excellent but limited because of his size. However, he makes up for it with his senses, as he can track individuals by scent, feel when the presence in a room changes, and sense when somebody will attack.
	+ **Pyrokinesis:** Bruce has an exciting ability to utilize fire to attack. He can release incredible fire blasts as balls, bolts, discharges, or even continuous fire beams. He can also alter the temperature at which he releases this fire. He can utilize it as a natural orange flame or boost the heat to modify the color of the fire to blue. He seemingly doesn't need a source to manipulate it, as he has shown to conjure it by sheer force of will and harness it.
	+ **Immortality:** This was shown during his fight with the Heroes for Hire. Shang-Ci performed an advanced move that would kill anybody upon completion, and Bruce did die, technically, but a few moments later, he stood up and was perfectly fine. Later, he was shown to be completely fine when riddled with bullets or hit with energy blasts that should have killed him. It is unknown exactly how or why the Atrocity Serum granted him immortality, but it has, and the only seeming way to properly kill him is to behead him.

### Abilities

* **Gifted Geneticist:** Bruce is a renowned geneticist in the world of science. His work is not to be understated. He was instrumental in recreating the Super Soldier Serum, developing The Atrocity Serum, and exploring different avenues in which different kinds of DNA could help repair destroyed human cells and more. He is wildly impressive, but his overall intelligence pales in comparison to the likes of Monica Eden and Connor Carter. However, the expertise he beats all in is genetics, and almost none rival him.
