Description: Demise is on of the more lethal characters in the Wild Cards universe. He's tall, standing about 6' in height, and thin, weighing 150 lbs. He has stringy brown hair, a ragged mustache and a permanently disheveled look to him. He died from the virus but was revived by an experimental process of Tachyon's. After spending 6 months in an IC unit, he managed to recover some of his sanity. It was at this time that Demise learned of his new power, the ability to project the "memory of his death" into a target, killing them almost instantly. He can also choose to simply stun someone as well. Demise must be within a few feet of his target and must be able to see their eyes (mirror shades will stop this power). Since he usually hits his targets by surprise (most don't know what to expect), this is not usually a problem. It should be noted that Demise, having died once, has little in the way of moral restraint.

A variant version of his Death Stare could be a RKA with AVLD (Mental Defense), Does BODY, and No Range.
