Killer B
Killer B is a relatively famous costumed-criminal operating on the Eastern seaboard. He has been spotted alongside Death Watch Beetle and other eccentric villains. Currently he is a member of The Bad Company. Killer B is extremely well known in the internet subculture after having several of his exploits recorded and uploaded. Along with his decidedly villainous endeavors, he also commits random acts of heroism, such as saving the Statue of Liberty from being defaced by SWARM.

Personality
Tomas is a thrill-seeker first and foremost. He does not think of himself as a super villain and prefers the term 'costumed adventurer' or 'gentlemen rogue'.
Heroes usually find the Killer B a very talkative and almost fun villain to go up against; if it weren't for the bees, of course.
Abilities
Killer B is a respectable inventor and handy-man skilled with a number of fantastic gadgets and more traditional catburgler gear. He is not particularly adept at hand-to-hand combat as he prefers to work alongside more solid allies or avoid direct confrontation all together.
History
(WIP: So mysterious!)
Appearance
Tomas is well-groomed, well-toned individual with bright orange hair. He carries a peculiar scent, a mixture of oil, grease, flowers, and cologne.
His costume has little to do with his namesake, though the boots and gloves do have a yellow on black color scheme. His suit resemble a Golden-Age rocketeer, with a brown leather flight jacket, goggles, and slacks. His headgear covers his ears and has a detachable rebreather mask.
Equipment
"Stinger" Pulson Rifle - This bulbous gun delivers a blast of concussive force along with a sharp stinging sensation not unlike a real bee.
B-Wing Jetpack - One of his earliest inventions and the device that kickstarted his career, Killer B is sure to be carrying his signature rocket backpack at all times. Although not nearly as powerful as some of the higher output armored heroes, the jetpack provies him greater mobility than criminals in his class usually have available.
Climbing Magnets - A more mundane but very useful tool, Buzz has a pair of handheld magnetic clamps he uses when scaling buildings or affixing himself to a wall or hull. The soles of his boots have a similar pair of magnets, allowing to even walk upside down if needed.
Inventions
Beeswax Grenade - Perhaps Buzz's most ingenious invention, these grenades release a thick honey-like fluid over a wide area. Once it contacts oxygen the honey hardens into a tough organic wax in a matter of seconds, effectively trapping anything caught in the blast. As if that weren't bad enough, the scent sends nearby bees into a frenzy.
Pheromones - Like most colony insects, bees and their cousins often communicate through various smells they release. Buzz has synthesized these chemicals and uses them to flag enemy targets or calm the bees. He wears a special cologne at all times that keeps his hive from attacking him.
Injection Drill - This small disc can be suctioned to a pane of glass or thin barrier, whereupon a drill on the underside can bore through. Killer B can then plug specially made containers into the top, safely releasing their contents inside. This is his favored method of releasing hornets or gases into a room without putting himself at risk.
Relationships
Bad Company
Buzz's current group of criminal misfits and the team responsible for the now famous Sky Crime 2012. Despite the group's apparent success, B has little respect for any of the members aside from Death Watch Beetle. He is highly amused by Bloodsport, but is wary of Interface. Everyone else....is expendable.
Insecticide
Killer B is a founding member of the eccentric supervillain group known as Insecticide. Every member has their own bug-themed costume and name, with a few of them even having insect-related powers.
Death Watch Beetle - Perhaps the oldest and most well known member of Insecticide. Although the two are similar in power, Buzz considers him something of a mentor figure because of his greater age and experience.
