Ed's Notes: Whoa. Pariah got of SO LUCKY when he first encountered Lady Quark and she found out that he was the one who was responsible (by way of releasing the Anti-Monitor) for destroying her entire UNIVERSE. She let him live, but... daaaaamn. Since she is now a member of L.E.G.I.O.N. (or at least was when that was still a thing, lol) she should also have:

Advantage: Connection: L.E.G.I.O.N.  (High)

Ed's Notes: As punishment for awakening the Anti-Monitor and setting him lose on countless universes, he is forced to witness each universe's death in the movements as it unfolds.  Not much use as a PC or NPC (because if you see him... well... EVERYONE IS ABOUT TO DIE) but it's a pretty interesting sentence / fate-worse-than-death.

Ed's Notes: The Monitor's Right-Hand Girl during Crisis, it was her job to recruit the heroes that would be needed to defeat the Anti-Monitor.  She got nerfed a bit following the Crisis, and joined the short-lived New Guardians.

Ed's Notes: Nowadays there are MonitorS. (And the picture above is just ONE of them.) But back in 1986, during Crisis there was only one of this guy. And while he's a GOOD guy, seeing him turn up in an adventure would be the second most terrifying this imaginable... Considering that it means the MOST terrifying thing imaginable will probably turn up before too long...

First Appearance: New Teen Titans #21 (July, 1982)

Ed's Notes: OK, so... When you need a villain who can make Darkseid, Doomsday, Ares and Appa Alli Apsa collectively shit their pant in unison... Um, no. You STILL don't want this guy.  Lol.  He is the ONE. The true Omega. the last and final, ultimate boss. He destroys UNIVERSES, for fuck's sake!  Crisis was great when it happened, got botched in the ending (don't kill the Flash!) and has been nothing but a recurring headache for DC ever since.  (Did it happen? Did it never happen? Is there only one universe then? What about timelines? Other Dimensions? Oy.) But if you want to scare the living hell of any and every PC, let them read this entry sometime, and then just drop the slightest of hints from time to time, just to see how they react. Just don't overdo it. Leave overdoing it to the A-M himself:

Ed's Notes: One of my favorite all-time villains, mainly because of his rile in Crisis on Infinite Earths. And in all seriousness, were it not for Crisis, this second rate Silver Age villain would likely have been completely forgotten. I feel like he's way to big a pushover though. Physically, Mentally and Spiritually he's total weak-sauce, and with such a low initiative, he likely down for the count before he can even USE that Broadcast Empath Power of his, no matter what it's rated at.

It's also kind of strange, given his Limitation, that they didn't stat out the Medusa Mask, even it is just:

Medusa Mask [Body: 1]

In don't know... It might be more powerful or durable than that, and it may even be able to bestow Broadcast Empath on anyone.  But we'll never know, because they don't include it.
