Serpentyne



16 year old Skylar Wyndham is a young self-styled supervillainess who was a one-time archenemy of the group of teenage Connecticut superheroes, The ThrillSeekers, particularly the ThrillSeeker known as "Recoil", who possesses much the same powers as Serpentyne herself. That of a rather powerful shapeshifter.

She is (now) also an enemy of expatriate British superhero, Steadfast, aka Malcolm Wilkins, whom, unbeknownst to him, is her own hated step-father.

Serpentyne, whose actual father is one of Steadfast's old enemies, Donald Wyndham, also known as Draconis, resents her new stepdad for not only imprisoning her beloved father, but also seducing and marrying her mother and uprooting her entire life, moving the family from Connecticut to Chicago, illinois. She will do anything it takes to achieve her long-term goal of eventually destroying him and/or breaking her dad out of prison.

She hates the 'stretchy superhero = comedic clown' trope. Though she comes off as sort of a "Barbie Girl" in her civilian life, her Serpentyne persona is deliberately dark and gothy. She particularly tries to be scary by way of capitalizing on herpetophobia, often adopting reptilian features (claws, scales, red reptilian eyes and/or a forked black tongue) while in her Serpentyne guise. Also, due to her history of high school harrassment, due to her early development, she deliberately morphs her body as Serpentyne to present as 'flat' so as to not be labelled a 'bimbo' as she is rather curvy in her civilian life and high schoolers can be cruel.

She befriended Randy Norville on the first day of her sophomore year in her new high school after her family moved to the Northwood suburb of Chicago, and they've been tight ever since. They revealed their superpowers to one another about three weeks or so into their friendship and she was the first one he recruited to commit crimes with him once he found out that she had an inherent dislike of superheroes, and didn't wish to use her powers to become one. It was initially her idea to find others like themselves and form a supervillain group.

Serpentyne is a very powerful and gifted metamorph. Not only is she 'stretchy', but she can also metamorph into other people and objects of a certain size and mass, though she cannot shift herself too much smaller or larger than her base form without physical harm. She can twist herself into just about any shape, and changes color and texture easily, yet, she can only stretch but so far. She also has the ability to shift her density. While she cannot become intangible or 'diamond-hard', she can morph into a viscous, almost semi-liquid state, as well as be at least as solid as a block of hard plastic or ceramic polymers. While her teammate, Moshpit designed the costumes for just about every other member of Team Hades, Serpentyne simply transforms her own look with her actual powers, in lieu of wearing clothes created by Mosh.
