Cyborg mercenary, V.I.L.E.-1 (Virtually Indestructible Life Exterminator) is a deadly combination of genetically engineered flesh, high-tech cybernetics, and the mind of a bar brawling psychopath metal-head. His mission: Fight for the highest bidder, kill for the highest bidder, and have fun doing it. He frequents underground super-human bars, just looking for fights that can test his skills. He secretly desires to become the most powerful being on the planet, or for that matter the universe, and seeks a chemical he overheard about the existance of when he intercepted an alien transmission called the "God formula". Vile-1's loyalty is greatly dependant not only on the finances of his employer, but whether or not he feels they can bring him closer to his goal.

He gained his first step in the right direction when he discovered a weapon called the sword of the god formula, but when he attempted to use it in battle discovered the weapon to only be able to harm those who have caused horrific pain to others. Rendering it useless against most of his enemies.

Vile-1 in his early days established a partnership with fellow mercenary Midnight Lantern, a partnership which ultimately led to his introduction to Mighty Magneto, a deadly villain who led a group the master of magnetism thought the One Man Army would be perfect for, The original Vine Villians, Egan was put through a series of tests to prove himself elite, and was not only successfull in his endeavors, but managed to imprees Mighty Magneto to the point where he was put in charge of a training team for the VV alongside his friend Midnight Lantern, known as Psycho Society, a team that had many promising students including the Vampire named Trauma, the deadly Morte Rapida, and the psychotic Jigsaw, all were put through their paces by the taskmasters of PS, Egan and ML. But as fate would have it, VV would fall on hard times, many members of the criminal team would leave for solo endeavors or other teams, and ultimately Egan found himself to be all but the last man standing in the group, and though ETV1 and a few other former VV members tried to rebuild the old VV under a new name Lords of Destruction,this proved to be a failure, and Egan chose to leave the red behind and go in a differant direction.

For a very short time the Tin-Maniac became a hero, fighting alongside Cly in the skirmish known as Operation Extermination, his victory over a possessed Mr. Happy freed that hero from the evil that consumed him, Egan's formerly hated weapon the sword of the god formula had actually proven usefull, and Egan began to feel he could become a hero, but at the same time, desired the same action he always had as a merc.

That was when ETV1 met Ruin Cross and his Bladed Angels, Egan proved to be a good fit in the group, and made a lot of friends among the team, Egan fought at the side of the Bladed Angels loyally for a time, but when Egan heard that the Vine Villians had been reborn, he had a longing to be with his original team to the point that he chose to leave Bladed Angels, opting to only be a reserve member, and return to the VV.

But Egan's return to red didnt go as he expected at all, ETV1 began to feel not just unwanted by many of his team-mates, but downright hated, Egan was miserable in a place he that used to bring him great joy, he became bitter, angry, disgruntled, and very soon quit the team for good, burning the bridge behind him.

Egan was soon approached by a former team-mate from the original VV, the man called Gambler, who made ETV1 an offer the cyborg couldn't refuse, membership in Les Assassins Silenciuex, not only did Egan accept, but proved himself to the point of rapidly rising in the teams ranks and becoming the Fourth Chair in LAS. Egan The Vile-1 remained in LAS until it was disbanded by Gambler, and then formed the Blood-Hunters, that team lasted for a time, but ultimately fell apart, leading Egan to return to his neutral roots and join The Elite Order


Height: 10'6
Weight: 2 tons
Eyes: Green
Date of Birth: 4-15-1983
Birthplace: Red Hook, New York, USA

 

Weaponry powers and tech

Head: Lock on targeting sensors, infra-red, X-Ray and thermal visual sensors, proximity radar

Right arm: Shoulder mounted heat seeking missile launcher, wrist mounted gattling gun

Left arm: shoulder mounted UV spotlight, wrist mounted thermal cannon, concealed laser blaster in palm

Body: Force-field generator, Holographic projectors, Cloaking shield

Front: Concealed Napalm Cannon, machine gun banks, electric pulse generator

Back: Concealed UV spotlight, retractable spikes, deployable jet thrusters

Legs: Hip-mounted energy sword holsters, hydraulic knee joints allowing enhanced speed and jumping ability

Vile-1 is made of a metal that is heavily resistant to extreme temperature, hot or cold Called Thermantium, combined with Adamantium and Vibranium.
Egan is capable of lifting up to 98 tons, and can fly at sub-light speeds


Extents and limitations of powers:
Teleportation: Egan can execute short range teleportation (1 to 100 feet) but needs to charge his energy to teleport any farther unless it is to one of his bases.

Armor: Thanks to the Adamantium/Vibranium/Thermantium Egan can absorb major impacts, is virtually Unbreakable, and can withstand extreme temperatures as hot a moltan lava and as cold as deep space, however, some of his joints can be damaged far easier by extreme impact then his body and armored areas.

Power Cell: For his basic tech the nuclear power cell of ETV1 has a near limitless ability to create energy, however Egan has been known to "dump" energy from his powercell into a massive attack, however, Egan can quickly restore power to his cell by making it less responsible for maintaining his systems by absorbing other forms of energy, most notably electricity, thermal power, and solar power. But while absorbing other forms of power Egan can not raise his energy shield.

P.T.E. (Pute): The Personal Tactical Engine or Pute' as Egan calls it is an intelligent form of software integrated into Egan's cybernetic brain, it constantly adapts to suit it's users needs based on their style of fighting

Thermal Cannon: The thermal Cannon is capable of creating Magma hot bursts of heat, or frigid temperatures to the level of absolute zero

Speed: On foot Egan can run as fast as 40 M.P.H. but in flight is where the cyborg truly becomes a speed demon, capable of going from 0 to Mach 1 in 5.4 second, and capable of entering Hypersonic speed within 12 seconds.

Physical Strength level: Capable of lifting 50 tons with ease, and having lifted with some difficulty a maximum of 98 tons (196,000 pounds) Egan is extremely strong, utilizing  advanced hydraulic which amplify his strength nearly a hundred fold.

Weaknesses:

Magnetism: As a being made of metal, ETV1 has an obvious weakness to extreme magnetism, however Egan's force-field can protect him for a short time, about 10 minutes before giving out. And Egan carries six tanks of liquid nitrogen, which can briefly render him a super conducter and thus anti-magnetic when the nitrogen covers his metal body, though thanks to the radiation eminated from his power cell, this technique only offers the machine about 2 minutes of protection per container of Liquid Nitrogen.

Current battle: Metal Web: Arach-Knight VS Egan


Added by eganthevile1 on Sept. 28, 2009


Just a few thing I've learned that may or may not help you 
 
Juggernaut Teams: Bruisers: Juggernaut, Hulk, Thing, Venom, Ms. Marvel, Luke Cage X-men (should be obvious) 
 
Bishop boss fight: Part 1 fight Bishop until he runs low on health and retreats to recharge at the power generator, then quickly run behind the generator and attack the yellow lit tubes, they will turn red and after enough damage will explode, the generator will then explode in Bishops face making the rest of phase 1 of this battle simple. 
 
Part 2: Three generators are now in play, as well as an electrical field overhead in the center of the battlefield, fight Bishop in the same way as before with one minor change in strategy, Bishop now unleashes an attack that sucks in all your heroes and throws them across the screen, this is easily spotted when the ground beneath Bishop glows blue, at which point get away from him as fast as you can. Weaken Bishop until he runs to a generator to recharge, then quickly move to one he isnt recharging at: Deadpool is great for this as his teleportation and jumping sword slash make this pretty simple: Teleport behind the first generator Bishop is not recharging at and attack it quickly, then teleport to the sewcond generator Bishop is not recharging at and repeat, the quicker you pull this off the less health Bishop recovers.  (targeted fusions are the best to use on Bishop while he is actively fighting you)
 
Part 3: Bishop will move into the center and try to recharge, this is your chance to end the fight: If you followed my advice and are using Deadpool, simply double jump to trigger your teleportation to quickly get behind each generator and use your jumping sword slash (RT+B on an XBOX360 controller) to quickly take out all three generators, timed correctly this strategy will turn Bishop from one of the games most formidable bosses to one of it's easiest 
 
The never run out of health trick: When your characters have some breathing room and are not being attacked, switch characters low on health out for Wolverine or Deadpool, the healing factors of these characters will recover whatever slot they are assigned to fully,  and you can do it as often as you need to!

Extremely entertaining parody by someone who is obviously a dedicated fan, the Greatest Fan Film of all time never stops providing laughter at every turn, and also provides surprisingly addictive action scenes.. But why take my word for it, after all it's free to watch whenever you want! 
 
http://www.comicvine.com/forums/gen-discussion/1/the-greatest-fan-film-of-all-time/390977/

 
and if you like it, or like interviews, keep reading, beacause my interview with the films creator is printed below 
 


Larry Longstreth is a rising independant filmaker, best known to us comic book fans as the man behind the animated features "The Greatest Fan Film of All Time" and "Batmans gonna get shot in the Face" He agreed to answer a few questions for me, and the result is something I am proud of 
 
1: What made you decide to get into filmmaking? a particular director or movie?

   My step-father had an enormous library of old films.   That was back in the day where each VHS tape held 3 movies.  From "King Kong" to "Indiana Jones", we grew up on the classics.   On the flipside, our real father would pick us up 
on his weekends and my brothers and him would stay up really late and watch sometimes horrible horror films.  In no way were they acceptable for children so young, but it became a weird sort of tradition.  Those definitely both influenced my love for film, but creative writing as I got older is what really attracted me.   

   Slightly off topic and just for the sake of memory, I can remember one time during one of these bad films, there was a topless woman on the far side of the screen.  She turns away so that her breast was just barely visible and her back was to the viewer.  I remember looking over at my little brother, Brandon, as he leaned further and further to the right, as if he was going to see AROUND her shoulder.  It cracks me up.  Little kids had no business watching that stuff.  

2: You have done both live action and animation, which do you find most challenging?

   Live action, without a doubt.  With our cartoons, I just write it, schedule some voice recording sessions, cast the parts, voice direct, and basically hand the wheel over to our animator, Jacob Drake ( JacobDrake.com) and he takes it from there.  With live action, there is way more work involved.  Everybody has to be "on".  For example, we drove to NYC to film our werewolf short, "The Wimp Whose Woman Was a Werewolf".   I paid the rental costs, the hotel rooms, etc.  We filmed in legendary director Lloyd Kaufman's house!  The home of the New York Film Commissioner.  It was pretty insane.  You can imagine my frustration when something went wrong with the camera and we couldn't turn the exposure down, thus making the scene extremely white and unable to be fixed.  We were on a tight schedule so we had to shoot it as it was.  All of that build up and travel and just one little thing goes wrong and it's all screwed.  With animation, if something's wrong, you just reanimate it.  With live action, you don't always get a second chance.  

3: Is there any character you wish you had put in "The Greatest Fan Film of All Time" in hindsight?  

 I don't have any regrets, but Optimus Prime originally had a part that was cut.  So did "Minute Man" from the film "The Specials", and he was actually going to be voiced by James Gunn, who played him in the original film.   No regrets, though.  Things happen the way they happen.  

4: You made a short animated feature titled "Batman's Gonna Get Shot in the Face".  What real life person would you replace Batman with if you remade it as a historical comedy?

   (Laughs) What a bizarre question.   I think the whole point of "Batman's Gonna" is that there's this guy who has been extremely exaggerated to the point of perfection when, in reality, he's very vulnerable and sooner or later that's gonna show.   So, in real life... I'd choose somebody equally hyped and maybe even over-rated.  William Wallace?   Yeah, that would work.  They painted him as a God who could do no wrong and who cried "Freedom!" as he died heroically.  

In reality, he was a big, bald, murdering bastard who died way, way, way before the war was over.  "Gonna Get Shot in the Face" basically translates as "Reality Check" so yeah, Wallace.   

5: Aside from Uwe Boll, what director would you most like to avoid being compared to?

    Probably Spielberg, just because it's the most generic comparison.   People who know nothing about film meet a filmmaker and say "Oh, he's the next Steven Spielberg".  It's silly.  Somebody once met Tim Burton before he was famous 
and said that about him.  Is it true?  No, it's not even close.  It's like hearing somebody makes icecream and saying "Hey, he's making a banana split!"  It's cliche and sort of ignorant.   

6: What is the next project for Larry Longstreth?

   First off, we just finished shooting a live-action comedy sketch show called "Dolly Oxem's Traveling Video Circus".  Shot in HD, the pilot is actually purposely bad.  It's disguised as a somewhat formulaic comedy show, but if you can read between the lines it's really about a broken down, talentless, never-was and how this show is basically his last chance at any sort of fame.  It's really funny and we just released a teaser trailer for it, though it's vague and eerie.   It's right here:   http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa40i3_preview-do
lly-oxems-traveling-video_fun


   Also, we have an animated TV pilot in the works in the same animation style as "Greatest Fan Film" and "Batman's Gonna Get Shot in the Face".  It's called "Four Tanks and a Healer" and it takes place inside one of those online roleplaying games.  The team is terribly balanced and with just four warriors and a healer, they are forced to come up with creative ways to overcome obstacles that a normal team would easily overcome.  I have a meeting regarding the business aspects of that in a couple weeks but I'm really proud of the script and when it's finished, it'll be a hit.  

7: If you could direct any character in comic books live action movie who would it be?

   I know more about films and filmmaking than I used to, thanks to a few bigwigs in LA who have sort of mentored me... and I know how hard rights are to obtain even for the most prominent directors.  Even fifteen years from now, I know 
it'd be next to impossible to do a film about a prominent comic book character without being extremely lucky.  However, if I had my choice... there are a few I'd like to make.  I would LOVE to do an X-Men film and I know I could do it 
right, at least creatively.  I'd explore different aspects, though, instead of basically programming the audience to like Wolverine the most and ignore the others.  I'd also love to work with Batman and/or Nightwing and address the flaws 
of the characters as well as the strengths.  

Finally, and biggest of all... a Superman film is my dream project.  I would write it to be so epic and relevant to our times.  A lot of people hate Superman.  They say he's cheesy and that there's nothing interesting about stopping a threat simply by punching it and being stronger.  As a comic-book character, they may have a point.  He may be slightly lame and straight forward, but as a cultural icon or even in the heavier graphic novels, there's simply no character in the world who fascinates me more.  It's not about the specific powers.  It's about the seemingly infinite POWER, and how we're so incredibly lucky that he is who he is.  99.9999% of people 
would be bastards if given Superman's power.  They'd reshape the world the way they saw fit.  Clark Kent just happens to be the one true good guy... and we roast him for it and call him a "goody". There's a lot to be said with just that 
message.  It brings out our cynicism.  It brings out our judgements and cruelty.  It also makes you wonder just how much of it a man could listen to before finally behaving just like the rest of us.  The fact that he's unbreakable is 
what makes him ambitious and inspiring if you look at it with optimism.  It makes him unrelatable and cheesy if you look at him with cynicism.  Basically, it summarizes the world.  

8: I know you have tons of stuff you'd like readers of this to check out Larry, so plug away!

   Well, there's too much to just start posting a ton of links, so visit myspace.com/larryfilmmaker and click on my videos.  If you watch them from oldest to newest, you can watch us slowly grow up and mature as filmmakers.  If you don't 
care that much, then just watch "Nintendo: Oldschool Revolution", "Batman's Gonna Get Shot in the Face", and "The Greatest Fan Film of All Time".  Those are our nerd-favorites and there are even some celebrity cameos in "Fan Film".   

Finally, check out the far-less-popular-til-it's-released trailer for "Dolly Oxem's Traveling Video Circus".  It's our current project and I'm blown away by how good the HD looks.  Hope you enjoy!

My Name is Bruce is a great film for guys... But your wife/girlfriend will probably hate it. The film stars Bruce Campbell playing himself (or more accurately a broke womanizing hasbeen boozer coward version of himself) The film starts like many horror films before it, Teenagers drinking and making out in a graveyard decide to vandalise the hollowed grounds and release an ancient demon-Guan Di, the god of the dead and... bean curd!?! (remember the bean curd thing it turns out to be a big plot device later) So of course one of the teenagers survives and thinks there is only one person who can stop Guan Di, his idol actor Bruce Campbell. When we first see Bruce he is shooting a sequel to one of his many low budget films, Cavealien II (parody of actual Campbell movie Alien Apocalypse) Bruce is of course depicted as kind of a sleezy jerk, hitting on everything with two legs, treating the crew and his fans like trash, and of course is either drunk or hungover at all times. Bruce's agent who has booked him in terrible role after terrible role promises to make it up to him for his birthday, and when the teenage fan kidnaps him and takes him to the small town of Goldlick, Bruce thinks he is the star of his own personal movie, but when he realises Guan Di is the real deal he is forced to choose between being himself or like the characters he plays. 
 
Very funny performance by Bruce Campbell, as long as you get he is poking fun at both himself and his body of work. Ted Raimi is hillarious in his 3 roles especially as Wing the gravekeeper, and cameos from actors who appeared in each of the previous Evil Dead films was a great touch. 
 
My Name is Bruce is definately going to be up your alley if your a fan of Bruce Campbell, B-Movies, and slapstick comedy.  
A must see for Bruce Campbell fans, a should see for horror fans, and a film everyone else should at least consider renting.

It seemed to many fans of the manga and anime that Death Note could never work as a live action film, thankfully this Viz film is proof we were dead wrong. Now I am reviewing the English language version, so I can't critique the Japanese acting as I only understand every other word, but thankfully the voice-over actors who did the english dubs are the same cast who dubbed the anime into english, making this an easy adjustment  for American fans. While Death Note is not a gory film, mostly focussing on Kira's M.O. of giving his prey heart attacks, it is incredibly plot driven, and almost impossible to walk away from once you sit down and hit play. The demon Ryuk looks kind of cheesy and overly CGI in the otherwise realistic environment, but this is quickly overlooked as the intrigue pumps into overdrive. I'd recommend this film to any fan of Death Note as well as newcomers to the series. There are few suerprises to be had by fans of the Manga/Anime except perhaps the ending. Keep in mind this is the first installment of a trilogy, all three parts are now on DVD, in english, and totally worth watching, but the first film in particular is a must see.

Argueably the biggest bomb in comic book to film adaptations, the 90's Fantastic Four film receives snarky comments to this day, referanced in "The Greatest Fan Film of All Time" when the Stan Lee of that film says "The greatest mistake I ever made was putting Roger Corman in charge of the Fantastic Four movie back in '92" This made FF2 Rise of the Silver Surfer look like a masterpiece. Some argue it was because special effects werent ready for this movie, but Jurassic Park came out the same year. It was a genuinely bad movie, sorry for those who would stand by it, but I'll end this critique by just pointing out I was alive and watching movies constantly that year and the only news I heard of this FF was in the Bullpen Bulletin of Marvel Comics, and even they didn't promote it heavily. Sad that the FF is rarely done right, and this is not only a bad FF adaptation, but the worst since the 60's cartoon that replaced Human Torch with a robot as the fourth member of the team. Do yourself a favor and pass on this film.
