Herbert West

## Powers & Abilities

* **Extraordinarily Intelligence:** Herbert West is extraordinarily intelligent in a lot of aspects.
	+ **Manipulating:** Herbert is generally good at manipulating people like Dan for his own benefit, even when Dan wanted to quit with West´s experiments, he was able to keep Dan onboard by exploiting his love for Meg. He was also able to manipulate Susan into two rival gangs into helping him out.
	+ **Disguising and Aliasing:** Inadvertently, he´s used disguises and aliases in order to escape prisons, and he once stole a dead body from a hospital by dressing it up with sunglasses, although that seems more like a cartoon gag. he also sneaks himself into a hospital by pretending to be a corpse.
	+ **Expert Chemist:** Herbert is also an expert chemist having made the Re-Agent in the first place.
	+ **Skilled Detective:** Herbert is a skilled detective in some respects, being able to deduce how a body was killed and who did it, just by looking at it´s condition.
* **Resurrection:** The reason why when Herbert West dies at the end of the two movies, he´s able to come back, is because, appearantly, during his adventures, he was once lured away by demons, who seduced him with promises of power, but, this resulted in his blood being mixed with a foul magic. This magic somehow restores Herbert West from death, and it´s appearantly happened twice already, so, no matter what strides and reanimation he takes, he´ll never truly know the glory of science beating death.
* **Body Manipulation:** Herbert also develops something off with his limbs and eyes, namely, being able to remove, stretch out and deattach them, he can even send them as seperate somewhat living beings, regenerate his body, and see out of seperate eyes, if he attaches his head to a headless body, he´ll even be able to take it over, now using his mind with said body.

## Equipment

* **Re-Agent:** Herbert West´s re-agent, despite it´s main purpose being to maintai and resurrect life, can be used to end it just as well, in it´s imperfected state, it brings dead bodies back as rampaging monsters, but they would attack Herbert as well as they would attack any other opponents, so there´s no help there. But if there´s no body nearby the re-agent can be injected into his opponent with an overdose, which will chemically rip apart the victim´s insides until they come bursting out, it can also be used for keeping Herbert awake when he´s tired, or it can cause citims to spaz out and laugh uncontrollably for a while, making it difficult to move before wearing off. The re-agent was kater stabilized and perfected to where it could basically bring a person back to normal, or atleast, retaining their entire personalities, such as when Doctor Carl Hill was resurrected as just a head, in smaller doses it seems to grant some extra strength, durability and general physicality. Though it can be inconsistant, as it worked differently with alien physiology in one story, but didn´t work as well for Herbert himself, the re-agent can also be addicting, acting much like a drug, for that alien, she became so strong that she was able to effortlessly defeat Vampirella, and became so powerful that she was beyond death and was basically unstoppable... again this is just for aliens so Herbert West gets no help here. Doctor West also developed alternate forms to the re-agent, which have their own specialties and upgardes.
	+ **Enhanced Re-Agent:** The Enhanced form of the re-agent, which when injected into a person, will instead of turning them into zombies, will turn people into Deadites, which is just making it worse, cause while zombies are basically strong dead guys, deadites are known to teleport, fly and possess others. But, again there, not exactly on Herbert´s side either.
	+ **Regeneration Re-Agent:** The regeneration re-agent not only revives the body, but also heals it of any injuries, reverting it to its original form... I wonder if he left someone in there for too long... would they turn into a baby.
	+ **Super Re-Agent:** The super re-agent is infused with magic and alchemy, and, if injected into a specific gateway, can create a portal to another world... what does that have to do with reviving a dead body... Herbert, get back to work.
* **Nanoplasm:** Herbert also sometimes uses nanoplasm to help recovering bodies regain their conciousness, he can gain nanoplasm by stabbing a victim, containing their nanoplasm life energy, then transfering their consciousness into a new body, including even putting a human´s consciousness into a rat´s.
* **Hacksaw:** Used to cut into enemies.
* **Shovel:** Used for bludgeon people or decapitating them.
* **Pistol:** Used for shooting people, Herbert has even noted before that he has pretty good aim with a gun, generally able to meet his targets.
* **Shotgun:** Used for shooting people, but more powerful.
* **Chlorophorm:** A specific form of chlorophorm that Herbert has developed he can induce heart attacks in a foe when he uses it.
* **Machete:** Used for cuttign and stabbing.
* **Medicine:** Herbert also has a specific medicine he can blow into another person´s face, at which point, he becomes essentially able to mind control them, only allowing them to act or even more under his command.
