Mutants and Masterminds Villain Background

Victor Blackwell was born in a rough neighbourhood in Empire City. His father, a construction worker, and his mother, a waitress, worked hard to provide for him and his younger sister. Growing up in a crime-ridden area, Victor quickly learned the importance of being tough and street-smart. He was forced to rely on his wits and physical prowess to protect his sister and himself.


At 18, Victor became involved with a local gang known as the Iron Serpents. He rose through the ranks quickly, earning the nickname "Razor" for his uncanny ability to wield knives with deadly accuracy. His reputation grew as a skilled enforcer, and he was known to be ruthless and unyielding in his pursuit of power and control within the gang.


After a decade of criminal activity, the Iron Serpents were dismantled in a police operation. Victor was arrested and sentenced to 15 years in prison for his involvement in the gang's activities. In prison, he honed his fighting skills and became even more cunning and ruthless. After serving his sentence, he was released back into the world, seeking new opportunities to climb the criminal ladder.


During his time in prison, Victor befriended a brilliant but morally corrupt scientist named Dr. Felix Krieger. Krieger, imprisoned for conducting illegal human experimentation, saw potential in Razor and offered to enhance his abilities in exchange for protection from other inmates. Intrigued by the prospect of gaining an edge over his enemies, Razor agreed to the proposal. Dr. Krieger performed a secret and highly risky surgical procedure, grafting a set of retractable razor-sharp claws into each of Razor's fingertips.


These claws, made from a durable and lightweight metal alloy, can be extended and retracted at will, making Razor an even deadlier combatant. The procedure was not without its side effects, however; the claws cause Razor constant pain when extended, and the invasive surgery left him with visible scarring on his hands. Despite these drawbacks, Razor views the enhancements as a worthwhile trade-off for the added lethality they provide him in his line of work.


Connection to the Puppeteer

Upon his release, Victor was approached by the Puppeteer, a mysterious criminal mastermind seeking capable and loyal lieutenants. Intrigued by the offer and the chance to be part of something greater than himself, Victor accepted the position, taking control of the Puppeteer's enforcement operations.

As one of the Puppeteer's lieutenants, Razor Blackwell is responsible for overseeing a team of enforcers, ensuring that the criminal organization's activities run smoothly and without interference from rival gangs or law enforcement. He is known to be fiercely loyal to the Puppeteer and is feared by both enemies and subordinates alike.

Victor "Razor" Blackwell is a cunning and ruthless individual, typical of many a Mutants and Masterminds Villain. He is highly intelligent and skilled at reading people, using his knowledge of human behaviour to manipulate and control those around him.
