BACKGROUND
Adam Ignacio Plasma was born to a family of circus performers. Unlike his more boisterous and extroverted family of entertainers, young Adam was an introverted child who didn't care about entertaining the masses and preferred to focus on science, which made him the target of ridicule from his family and other circus performers. After a freak "accident" left him broke and alone on the streets, Adam enrolled himself into high school at a young age, graduating at the age of 10. The whole time, however, he had to deal with more bullies, with one in particular falling prey to a freak "accident" that confined him to an iron lung for five years... coincidentally the day after he gave Plasma a wedgie during lunch.

Driven by his desire to put all his former tormentors in their place once and for all, Plasma now seeks to conquer the planet and establish his own warped utopia, one where he rules alongside machines while geniuses like him dominate the higher class. After yet another freak "accident" led to the disappearance of his former lab partner, Dr. Dimensia, Plasma went on a 20-year crime spree, conquering various lands and committing atrocities the world over while evading the law. Everything seemed like it was coming up Plasma. However, he didn't anticipate the sudden arrival of a certain pair of unwilling dimension-hoppers.

PERSONALITY
Dr. Adam I. Plasma; a cunning, dastardly, self-proclaimed gentleman genius who is as stubborn as a mule and bent on subjugating the whole planet to his will. His ego is absolutely massive, and he's the sort who loves himself just a little too much; with all the robots, bases, and ships he's had his mug plastered onto, it certainly doesn't take 16 PhDs and an IQ of his caliber to figure that out. And to Plasma, the only thing better than lifting yourself up is putting others down; he knows he's (almost) always the smartest guy in the room, and he wants everyone to know that too, so he won't hesitate to rub that fact in the nearest face whenever the opportunity arises.

Despite his vast intellect, Plasma is uptight, short-sighted, and quick to throw a tantrum (and sometimes physical objects) when things don't go his way. But underneath all that megalomania and spite may lie another side to the doctor - an insecure, self-pitying old man who thinks his hard work never pays off and that good things keep happening to everyone except him. And despite what one would think at first glance, total death and destruction is not the goal of his conquests, but rather a means to an end. As far as he's concerned, if his methods just happen to lead to innocent people getting hurt or entire cities being demolished in the process, oh well - sacrifices must be made.

For the most part, Plasma only cares about himself and what he wants, though in his calmer moments, you may catch him displaying some rare flashes of empathy or humanity toward those around him. One thing's for sure, though; this man is stubborn. No matter how many times his plans blow up in his face, he never gives up and is always plotting his next move.

ABILITIES
Plasma may not be physically strong or athletic by any means, but what he lacks in strength, he makes up for in sheer genius. A brilliant scientist, mechanic, and inventor, his engineering skills are almost unparalleled. His remarkable technological skills are most commonly seen in the many armies of fully-sentient robots made to do his bidding and various vehicles he has created and piloted in his numerous attempts at world conquest or revenge, some of which he has been able to build and program within a matter of hours. However, he has been known to craft far more advanced machines. Plasma is also as crafty outside of the lab as he is inside of it, being a master of manipulation.

For the most part, he relies on his minions and robots to do his fighting for him. On the occasion that he has to go into battle himself, however, he arms himself with an assortment of gadgets, most of which are attached to his main means of transportation, the Plasma Capsule. This hovercraft doubles as an aerial assault vehicle, equipped with missiles, laser cannons, and a remote interface that he can use to communicate with his robots. He also has another assault vehicle known as the PLN-Conqueror, a truck that he uses to transport his drones from one place to another. Plasma also carries a Ray Gun on his person, which can fire standard laser beams, incendiary blasts, a paralysis ray to stun foes, and even a tractor beam to lift heavy objects. He's also a surprisingly good shot.

TRIVIA
People on the street who don't know who he is often mistake him for a barber. It's gotten to the point where he once considered becoming a barber out of spite.
