***Hans Grippe*** or rather, ***Dr. Hans Grippe*** is a supervillain appearing in comic books and novels created and written by Damon Avent (Khaliq Trevor X). He is the leader of the Multiverse-based *Infinite Army.*

## Background and History

Grippe is the known head scientist and at times, general of the Magistrates of Muck and their subdivision, the Infinite Army. The Infinite Army is an army consisting of individuals from countless universes and worlds from different multiverses and realities. There has been a debate on exactly how many of these forces he actually is aware of, but Grippe has many connections and resources for assisting the Magistrates of Muck.

His primary goal had been to experiment on and reshape creatures from every walk of life. Due to his genetic disposition of being part Meta in addition to part Muccian, Grippe still had many traumatic demons facing his adult years. He wanted to study the genetic possibilities of using tissue from both living and deceased beings and reanimate them.

As a Magistrate Of Muck, he held a prominent position on the organization, albeit hardly in their presence or on planet Muck itself, he acted as their general doctor, researcher and main weapons expert in addition to enlisting more Infinite Army members. In the Magistrates of Muck Tower designed by Ballad E. Grande himself, he had a room dedicated to resurrections and replicating DNA structures. The room can also teleport many cells from different points of space and time.

## Infinite Army

Hans Grippe is the main leader of the Infinite Army, as the leader, he was responsible for it's seemingly endless amount of members (hence it's name). The resurrections he rebuilt and remodeled inside the Magistrates Tower served a purpose as new members of the Infinite Army and he would use their abilities to battle countless forces across the known galaxies such as the Rage Knights themselves.

Strangely enough, despite his origins, Hans Grippe can utilize the technologies of his Resurrection Room well enough to where it appears he cannot die. Even his founding of the Infinite Army can allude to the fact that he cannot die and can make others believe that he is seemingly immortal.

## Corporation of Grippe

One of Grippe's counterparts revealed to Nomad and Midlore the existence of countless Dr. Hans Grippes whom originate from alternate timelines and universes. Though the universe B2 counterpart doesn't specify them by name originally, he referred to the Corporation of Grippe. In gag stories and *Bully Brothers* tales, Bradley and West-Stein find themselves battling the corporation on several occasions as these other more nefarious incarnations of Hans Grippe tend to carry out more ruthless agendas.

### Death of the *real* Hans Grippe

In a 2018 story involving the Hyrdoxin Cellum, both Nomad Bradley and Aphrodite-Bushra cross paths with a disgraced Arietta Jacks who wants the Cellum for the purpose of building her own Marksmen suit and creating pseudo-Rage God powers to avenge her father. The *real* Hans Grippe (from the series' main universe B2) was killed by Arietta in a fit of anger. This is the Hans Grippe that masterminded the entirety of the Magistrate's Infinite Army and also the Grippe that befriended his more "evil" forms from other universes, including the more nefarious Hans Grippe of Universe-664 and 982116. These Grippe counterparts were the ones that wreaked havoc against Nomad and Midlore in the Infinite Army storylines and the same Hans Grippe's that attempted to rule the Magistrates of Muck in place of Aphrodite-Bushra's absence and her feud with Eureka.

The Universe B2 Hans Grippe was more insecure, gawky and soft-spoken but made up for this with his intellect and renowned inventions and contributions to the Magistrates of Muck, even his inventions including the Meta Three-Way Drive.

## Powers and Abilities

The Universe B2 incarnation of Dr. Hans Grippe is surprisingly underpowered and considerably *weaker* when compared to his other incarnations. Due to his more shyer nature in comparison to other incarnations, Universe B2's Grippe does not rely *too* heavily on energy guns and Magistrate Weapons period. This Grippe's powers and abilities does however include intellect, brief invulnerability, the ability to survive in deep space, and craft and build weapons and multi-dimensional devices that allow him to travel through time and space. Due to his Meta DNA, he can even withstand most extreme temperatures.

### Attacks

* Dr. Hans Grippe of Universe B2 uses a variety of guns that correspond to his personality such as the fumbling energy attack called *Shy Shot.*
