Ultimate Rumorse

**Debut** | TBA

**Ultimate Rumorse** is the evolved form of Rumorse.

## Appearance

Ultimate Rumorse is much taller than his default form, now standing at half the height as the average person, with his green skin instead an orange-yellow gradient and black eyebrows now above his eyes. Ultimate Rumorse no longer wears his ascot, while his bowler hat has become much taller, with a flatter brim and wider stripe, completely hiding his hair now. Ultimate Rumorse now wears a pair of red-tinted shades over his eyes, a dark gray coat covered in jagged red stripes, a red undershirt, red gloves, black pants, and brown and tan shoes. Ultimate Rumorse's cane has become larger and dark gray in color, now in the curved shape of a question mark.

Ultimate Rumorse wears the Ultimate Simplicitrix symbol on the bottom of his cane.

## Powers

* Ultimate Rumorse retains the abilities of his default form.
* Ultimate Rumorse can now overwrite and alter reality through the creation and spread of his rumors, setting them in stone with the power of his voice alone, as long as whoever he directs his power towards hears his voice.
	+ On top of having advanced suggestion and persuasion skills, Ultimate Rumorse's vocal reality manipulation can directly manipulate the mental states of others, causing whatever slander that he spreads about them to become ingrained in their psyche, where they'll be forced to obey and carry out humiliating commands. The fact his rumors become ingrained in their minds also protects them from snowballing out of control.
	+ Ultimate Rumorse can manipulate his own voice, allowing him to replicate the voices of others and mute himself to prevent anyone who can expose lies to hear his answer, thus protecting him.
* Ultimate Rumorse can detect changes in reality.
* Ultimate Rumorse can charge his own voice through his cane, allowing him to fire out bursts of sonic energy in the form of rapid-fire missiles that can home onto targets through detecting any noise they create.
* Ultimate Rumorse has enhanced speed and stamina.

## Weaknesses

* Although Ultimate Rumorse himself can mute his own voice and protect himself from the effects of lie detection, those affected by his rumors can reveal the truth themselves, thus indirectly outing him.
* Ultimate Rumorse's reality overwriting has no effect on anything that he cannot hear his voice, such as inanimate objects devoid of any sentience, deaf opponents, and those with sound absorption that can mute him against his will.
* Outside of mimicking the voices of others, Ultimate Rumorse's vocal manipulation only applies to himself.
* Ultimate Rumorse's sonic missiles aren't necessarily strong, although they make up for this with their numbers. However, if Ultimate Rumorse loses his cane, he cannot fire off anymore.

## Trivia

* Ultimate Rumorse uses the *New Batman Adventures* design of the villain Riddler, evident by his question-mark-shaped cane.
* Ultimate Rumorse pays homage to the Xiong Family from *RWBY*, notably as being temporary henchmen of Roman Torchwick as early as the first episode of the series, with Ultimate Rumorse having their red-tinted shades and general outfits minus their red ties.
	+ Ultimate Rumorse also further references Roman Torchwick himself, with his skin color matching his gradient hair color and his newfound ability to fire off missiles from the end of his cane.
* Ultimate Rumorse's powers were inspired by Allison Hargreeves from *The Umbrella Academy*, who can manipulate reality and minds with her voice through starting her sentences with the phrase "I heard a rumor,"
