Yet Another Unnamed Gang of Criminals

The third in our series of unnamed gangs, this one is easy the deadliest entry so far. Under the dubious leadership of Critical Mass, this band was responsible for kidnapping a young girl who was a mutant of incredible power. They planned to corrupt the girl and make her one of them.

Fortunately, Wolverine and Spider-Man stumbled into the gang's hideout and quickly put a stop to things...sort of. In the end it was the little girl who saved the day with an uncontrolled burst of power that obliterated everything in sight. Apparently the only survivor, Spider-Man was unable to find any trace of Wolverine, the villains, or the little girl. However, since Wolverine, Feral and Whiplash II have all reappeared since that battle, it is fairly safe to assume everyone survived.


Using this Gang in Your Campaign: I can't think of anything specific.

Personality: Critical Mass (aka Arnie Gunderson) was the leader of this impromptu band. Though his initial plan had promise, its dismal failure doomed him to a fate of mediocrity.

Personality: Whiplash II is fairly quiet, although she can be very vindictive to her enemies. Although the androgynous appearance of her armor in her first appearance, Whiplash II is decidedly female.
