### Debut

VGHW: The Original Saga - Episode II (2015)

Chris Seelig is a supporting antagonist in the VGHW franchise, and was regarded as one of the most powerful humans in the world. His overarching narrative is marked by an insatiable quest for power, a characteristic that defines his actions throughout the series.

In the original VGHW saga, Chris is a recurrent figure who often appears in tandem with the Brother. Their alliance isn't merely incidental; it's strategic and deeply rooted in their shared quest for dominance. Together with Owl, the third key member of their coalition, they form a 'super-trio', a formidable group that exudes power and influence, consistently challenging the protagonists at every turn.

A pivotal moment for Chris arrives when he shows up briefly in Wexler's home following the Brother's first act of robbery. This short appearance foreshadows Chris's significance in the narrative, highlighting his potential as a game-changer in the story's unfolding.

His role isn't limited to mere assistance; Chris becomes an active participant in numerous pivotal incidents during the franchise's 'prime ages.' These critical events, in which Chris's involvement is central, solidify his standing as a key player within the VGHW universe.

As the storyline progresses into the 'new ages,' Chris's persona takes on a distinctly rebellious shade. He evolves from a supportive antagonist into a full-fledged rebel, underscored by his status as a notorious prison escapee. This change in status elevates him to a higher level of danger and intrigue, making him a figure of interest not just to the protagonists, but to law enforcement as well.

Chris's influence also extends to the Battle of Fortuna, a major narrative event where his actions have profound consequences. Additionally, he plays an instrumental role in drawing Wexler to the TLS headquarters, leading to a mission to liberate a captured MiP, further adding to his importance in the storyline.

His entry into the VGHW universe occurs in 'VGHW: The Original Saga - Episode II'. Here, he emerges as the primary antagonist and the mastermind behind the burglary at Wexler's house, marking the start of a complex, intriguing character arc that spans the length of the franchise.

## Profile

Chris Seelig, standing at a height of 5'9", is a striking figure with a head full of curly blonde hair and penetrating brown eyes. His appearance exudes an unmistakable charisma that is hard to ignore. During his formative years, he was known for his jester-like personality. He had an uncanny ability to lighten the mood of any room he entered, often using his humor to mask the true depth of his character.

One of Chris's distinctive features was his smile. It was both eerie and infectious, an odd juxtaposition that fascinated those around him. This smile, often described as a mysterious grin, was said to be a gateway to some of his rarer abilities. Over time, it became clear that this unique aspect of his character wasn't just cosmetic; it was deeply intertwined with his powers.

However, as the years passed, noticeable changes began to take place in Chris's persona. His jovial nature was gradually replaced by an intense madness. This transformation seemed to coincide with his prison escape that occurred between the prime ages and the new ages. It was during this period that his fixation with power intensified, his obsession growing stronger with each passing day.

Following his escape, there was a distinct shift in Chris's demeanor. The once joke-loving, cheerful individual was replaced by a man who had a single-minded focus on power. His priorities shifted, and his personality became more serious. He was no longer the prankster that people once knew. His entire life was now dedicated to his pursuit of power, turning him into a power-hungry individual. His transformation demonstrated the complexity of his character, reflecting how experiences and ambitions could shape a person.

## Powers

Chris Seelig's impressive powers are divided into two main groups: abilities derived from Owl's modified computer keyboard and enhancements provided by Wexler's super power machine

### Abilities Derived from Owl's Modified Computer Keyboard

###### Lightning Cannon

Chris could generate and control powerful lightning bolts, using them as projectiles against his foes.

###### Laser Cannon

This power allowed Chris to fire high-energy laser beams, causing massive destruction

###### Fireball Canon

Chris had the ability to conjure and throw fireballs, providing a formidable offensive tool.

###### Teleportation

With this skill, Chris could instantly move himself and others across vast distances or through obstacles

###### Telepathy and Mental Manipulation

These mental abilities let Chris read thoughts, control minds, and manipulate the mental states of others. However, these powers were somewhat limited. His telepathy and mental manipulation skills would be activated by his distinctive smile, giving him the ability to delve into people's minds. His mental manipulation, though, could only track individuals he had frequently encountered, explaining his failure to mentally pursue Remy after he had brought him back to reality while collaborating with Leo Perlstein.

### Enhancements from Wexler's Super Power Machine:

###### Power Amplification:

Wexler's machine was used to increase the damage caused by Chris's keyboard-derived abilities. This enhancement significantly elevated the destructive potential of his powers, cementing Chris as a major threat in the VGHW universe.

## Death

The demise of Chris Seelig took place on April 19, 2022, and unfolded in an exceptionally dramatic fashion. It was not a simple culmination of events, but a meticulously orchestrated coup devised by the perspicacious Leo.

Leo, with his sharp intuition and intellect, had foreseen the true motives behind Chris's attempts to form a bond with him. Recognizing this as a veiled strategy to gain access to MiP, Leo devised an intricate plan to rid the world of Chris's menacing presence.

Leo's ploy revolved around exploiting Chris's avarice. He deliberately left MiP alone with Chris, fully aware that Chris's compulsion for power would lead him to attempt a theft. This act of apparent negligence was, in fact, a calculated risk. Leo knew that the theft would trigger MiP, alerting Wexler of the impending danger.

Meanwhile, Leo had predicted that Remy, who he presumed to be accompanying Wexler, would utilize his teleportation powers to rush to MiP's location. Given Chris's history and the power dynamics, Leo was confident that Remy would be able to overpower Chris.

However, the real twist in the tale came when the situation evolved beyond Leo's original anticipation. Unbeknownst to Leo, Wexler and Ben also possessed powers. Their unexpected intervention in the crisis further tilted the scales against Chris. Caught off guard and overwhelmed, Chris stood little chance against the combined might of Wexler, Ben, and Remy.

With their concerted effort, the trio successfully defeated Chris, resulting in him being sent to the spirit realm. This marked a significant turning point in the VGHW narrative, as the formidable antagonist Chris Seelig was finally vanquished.

## Upcoming

Chris is expected to star in a 2024 prequel to VGHW (2022) called "Target X", which is set to release in 2024. It is unknown what the plot of the upcoming short is going to be, but it assumed that it may have something to do with the famous escape Chris pulled off.
