Personality

MOD is a quiet man, preferring to let his actions speak for him. He has a temper, and he knows it: he sometimes struggles to restrain his impulses and keep a cool head. He is much smarter than anyone gives him credit for, which has often worked in his favor even though it rankles his pride. As a result of his many years of experience as a black man in the United States, and his long criminal career, MOD distrusts the authorities and is skeptical of other people's motivations.

Motivations

Rebellion
The character doesn't fit into the larger society.
Compassion
The character wants to protect others and alleviate their suffering, particularly the innocent and the helpless.

History

MOD ("emm oh dee"), as he is now almost always known, is an aging black supervillain who, after Paragon's destruction of Atlanta, moved to the city and apparently changed his ways, becoming an altruistic servant of those who remain within the ruins. He also enforces a blockade called the Atlanta Compromise which keeps state and federal authorities out of the city while allowing individuals to come and go.

Powers and Abilities

Although he is no longer in his prime, MOD is still immensely powerful: strong enough to lift a jumbo jet, and tough enough to shrug off light artillery fire without a scratch. His powerful legs can propel him over a half-mile: far enough to leap over the tallest building in a single bound. While extremes of temperature or lack of sleep make him uncomfortable, they do not significantly impair his ability to function. He can hold his breath indefinitely, and while he does need to eat, his endurance is such that it would take months of deprivation before he was in any danger of dying from starvation. MOD could walk across the ocean floor from Asia to North America, if he had a flashlight and a GPS.
