Secret Identity: Anthony Kozhan
Powers: Electrical tech armor with projectile electricity
Status: Comatose
Bio: Dr. Anthony Kohzan was a brilliant military scientist and veteran of the first Gulf War. Following an accident that left him paralyzed without the use of his legs, he found the assistance given him by the government inadequate.

Dr. Kozhan started using criminal activity to fund a project the government abandoned that would let him walk again. He started smuggling weapons into Millennium City by freighters coming through the Great Lakes. He intended to put high-powered electrical weaponry into the hands of Millennium City gangs, but earn profit by selling them the power cells for the weapons at a considerable mark-up. He accomplished this by pretending to steal items to further his ambitions as a 'super villain' so that crime fighters would not realize he had actually used his crime scenes as a drop point for power cells.

As Kozhan's plot began to unravel, he took the Red Spider hostage in a desperate play to wipe her memory and shatter her fledgling team. Red Spider was rescued, and just as Dr. Killowatt was faced with the grim prospect of having to turn on some of his powerful criminal conspirators, he zapped himself at full power with his own memory probe. He has been in a coma ever since.

Secret Identity: Unknown
Aliases: Dr. Fredrick Bedlam
Powers: A toxic aura; cybernetic enhancements; Qliphotic infusion
Status: Active
Bio: Bedlam is an ancient master of war whose victories were beyond count. He survived to old age, and using magic from the sacrifice of innocence, claimed immortality. Yet this proved a cruel and unforgiving curse: his body continued to age and fail, but his soul was trapped within its rotting prison. Through wicked alchemy, he learned to extract life force from victims, but at a further cost: he became so toxic, that his mere presence was morbidly infectious, and could leech the vitality from those around him. He used this trait to establish himself in the underworld of crime, and eventually became embedded in the criminal underworld that he developed ties to virtually ever criminal enterprise known to PRIMUS.

In modern times, Bedlam has reached the limit to which magic can help him. Instead, 21st century medicine & cybernetics have proven excellent substitutes to sustain and augment himself. Once apprehended by the Adventurers in 2014, however, he was isolated from his treatments and faced a certainty of death. In his desperation, Bedlam found a new source of sustenance perhaps more malevolent than himself: from the depths of the Qliphothic Realm came a bolstering infusion of dark energy. Infused with energy he does not yet fully understand, Bedlam has become an even more dangerous adversary.

In a display of his new power he killed former Adventurer Blue Wonder, causing an aberrant timeline which her future team mates helped avert through empowering Blue Wonder to avoid the death blow.
