Image Universe
The city of Chicago has long
been renowned for its organised crime, most famously during the
infamous reign of Al Capone. The mobs and gangsters managed to retain
power for decades but the growing superhuman population threatened
their rule by the early 1990s. Mafia crimelord, Antonio Seghetti, saw
this growing menace and acted on it. He had his second-in-command,
Sebastian Khan, exercise his technological expertise to try and come up
with an answer to the freaks.
The mob had a healthy
relationship with the small country of Lieberheim and it’s ruthless
dictator, Dread Knight, was given a prototype suit of armour to
increase his influence of power, as well as constructing him a legion
of android soldiers, the Dreadheads.
With the success of the
original armour, Khan improved upon his own designs and created the
nigh-invulnerable armour that would allow Seghetti to assume the role
of OverLord. In this new role, the crimelord was forced to remain
within his suit or face certain death from the freaks he has subdued
and recruited into his new organisation, the Vicious Circle.
OverLord soon spent less and less time with his Mafia associates while
maitaining his new persona twenty-four hours a day. Khan was abandoned
and left the mob to pursue other plans. At some unknown point, Khan
gained superhuman powers to manipulate all technology and he took on
the guise of CyberFace. Gathering a number of other superpowered
criminals, CyberFace formed the Annihilators and prepared them to seize
control of the Vicious Circle. Unfortunately for him, the Chicago
Police Department’s Freak Force program interfered and apprehended him,
as well as trapping the Annihilators in a dimensional limbo.
While in police custody, CyberFace was poisoned on the orders of
OverLord and was presumed dead. Desperate to get CyberFace back so that
he can testify against OverLord, as he is the only man able to identify
the armoured crimelord in his human guise, the Dragon takes the dead
man’s carcass to the government’s Project: Born Again program. The
villain was partially ressurected before the facility was destroyed,
and CyberFace wandered back to Chicago and was manipulated by Octopus,
planning to use him to conquer the Vicious Circle.
Octopus
was later apprehended and CyberFace was cleared of any charges after
giving evidence against OverLord so that a warrant for his arrest could
be made. Shortly after, Horde took possession of CyberFace and used his
might to become the new leader of the Vicious Circle after the Dragon
had killed OverLord.
Due to the incomplete ressurection,
CyberFace slowly began to degenerate and was saved from death by Abner
Cadaver, who infused him with the life essences of some of the Undead.
This lifeforce was very unstable, and when CyberFace attempted to
conquer Chicago in light of the Martian invasion, he was destroyed by a
single punch from the Dragon.
Octopus, OpenFace and
PowerHouse revived CyberFace in the gorilla body of BrainiApe, and he
stole the OverLord armour from the government as part of a bid to
reclaim the Vicious Circle, now under the leadership of Horde. In a
mass battle which killed Horde, the remains of CyberFace were finally
destroyed by BrainiApe.
Savage World
CyberFace formed the Annihilators and took them to seize control of the
Vicious Circle. CyberFace managed to successfully claim leadership away
from OverLord, who he then killed. From this point on, Khan’s sphere of
influence continued to expand and the Vicious Circle soon became a
serious force to be reckoned with.
When the Cosmic Cops
invaded Earth in 1994, they managed to decimate much of New York City
and looked set to expand their precincts to contain much of the planet.
No heroes were able to get close enough to accomplish anything and
numerous teams were being monitored and threatened with death if they
acted. It was only when CyberFace entered the fray that the aliens were
defeated.
The Cosmic Cops’ impressive technology was enslaved
by CyberFace who then used it to destroy the invaders and convert them
into his mindless cybernetic slaves. New York City was the next city
behind Chicago to become controlled by CyberFace and his powerbase
increased immensely. Few could oppose him now that he had the enhanced
technology of the Cosmic Cops.
Three years later when the
Martians launched their mammoth invasion of Earth and destroyed much of
the planet, CyberFace again came to humanity’s rescue, albeit to serve
his own selfish gains. CyberFace defeated these latest agressors and
added their technology to his growing cache of equipment was able to
seize complete control of Earth and became the King of the World.
Only one person has had the audacity to truly oppose CyberFace, and
that is Dragon. He carried out a failed assassination attempt which has
earned him the unenviable position of being public enemy number one
with a huge bounty on his head. In May 1999, our Dragon’s mind took
control of his alternate timeline’s body and he has begun his own quest
to depose CyberFace from power.
Over the next few years,
Dragon proceeded to gather together a resistance movement that
consisted of abandoned Vicious Circle members, the Underground Freaks
and other freedom fighters. Dragon led an assault upon the White House
which prompted CyberFace to flee upto the starship of Vanguard’s but
was unable to hide from his arch-enemy.
Dragon confronted his
foe, leading him to the isolation booth that once housed the Possessor,
neutralising his powers. This then allowed the hero to free Vanguard so
that they can gas CyberFace, leaving him locked away in case his
incredible abilities are needed to save the Earth in the future. He
could still access remote units under his control such as Wally who
shot the villain dead rather than turn into his loyal slave.
