Riot Rabbit



Randall Norville, Jr. is a supervillain. He is the leader of the group of teenaged supervillains calling themselves Team Hades.

He's only 17 years old, but, he has embraced the life that is his legacy.

Coming from a family with a history of 'special crimes', Randy has no compunctions about using his superpowers and martial arts prowess to commit crimes. Though not necessarily violent, he can and will put the big hurt on anyone who stands in the way of his goals. Though he, as a modern gay teenager, absolutely hates the stereotypes assigned to his kind by society, he does love the camp and spectacle of supervillainy, with it's outrageous costumes and over the top antics. His best friend, Skylar Wyndham, aka Serpentyne, genuinely believes that he's certifiably insane.

Randy is the grandson of the original Red Rabbit (A 'Silver Age' style villain, active from the late 50's to the early 80's, whose elaborate crimes revolved around the theme of famous and/or fictional rabbits, - Chinese Zodiac, Brer Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, The White Rabbit in Alice In Wonderland, etc.)

Randy is also the son of "Rumble Rabbit", an admittedly C-list supervillain in the mid 80's/early 90's who started out as a henchman for his own older brother, Leonard Norville, Jr., aka the second "Red Rabbit"..

The son of Red Rabbit, Rumble was also a gifted engineer and weapons maker that later fancied himself a superpowered vandal and anarchist. At the initial wane of his criminal career, he volunteered to have his DNA modified to give him superstrength. The process worked, but, Randall Sr. was still not the most successful villain.

In a combo of the motivations of his predecessors, Riot Rabbit does it for the rush, the 'art' and the camp of it. And, of course, the cash.

Often, when operating solo, he is engaged in more "performance art vandalism" than hard crime, even though, he enjoys the money.

Two years previous, he'd decided to form a supervillain team after one time too many times almost getting busted by the cops and various superhero groups. He knew that few adults would take orders from a 15 year old, so, after doing his exhaustive, extensive and even invasive research that took him months, he "collected" other teen villain enemies of various supers from in and around his area and decided to form Team Hades, starting with his best friend, Skylar Wyndham, aka Serpentyne.

Riot Rabbit possesses the ability to open teleportational rifts, which he has nicknamed "Rabbit Holes'. He also possesses enhanced strength, speed and agility, which make him a formidable athlete, gymnast and martial artist, which he has been studying since he was almost 5 years old.

Though he is a self-proclaimed villain, he is a pragmatic and mild one. Being young, he has little interest in taking over the world, destroying cities or murdering superheroes. For now, at least, it's all about monetary score, the pageantry and spectacle of it all, and the reputation. He has been successful enough in his endeavors to the point that, at present, he is a multi-millionaire. It helps that his entire family is a legacy of villains and criminals who currently specialize in both legitimate banking and money laundering, among other "low-rung" crimes that keep things rolling away from public scrutiny. Riot Rabbit has even been known to give some of his ill-gotten gains to charity, or, in some cases, poor passers-by on the streets. Whether this stems from a hidden altruism or some form of remorse for his misdeeds is unknown.

Randy Norville, Jr is a fraternal twin - older than his brother, Joseph, by about 12 or 13 minutes. The two get along well enough, often teasing and playfully insulting each other the way brothers do. "Joey" has powers as well, but, they are considered much milder and less "flashy" than his super-villain brother's. Joey has no desire to go "whole-hog into the Family Business" the way Randy has, but, he does plan on entering said family business through the financial aspect at some point... wanting to be more of a 'money man' than a 'superman'.

Riot Rabbit's powerset revolves around teleportation. He is able to open rifts in space from one spot to another. He refers to these rifts as "Rabbit Holes". Riot Rabbit possesses enhanced strength, speed and agility. While not on the level of, say, a Captain America, he is still stronger, faster and more agile than the average human professional athlete. Riot Rabbit's teleportation powers are focused either through line-of-sight, or, when 'porting blind, he can teleport to any place he's ever set foot previously, making him rather powerful, indeed, as he makes a point to travel to as many places as possible by conventional means, in order increase his powers.
