That's right I'm reviving this series and there's nothing you can do to stop me! Besides unfollow me but like I'm just a little guy you wouldn't do that to me, right? πŸ‘‰πŸ₯ΊπŸ‘ˆ

Anyway I debated on rebooting this bot series because the first attempt at this completely flopped, so I thought I'd come in guns blazing with my favorite villain of the Deadly 7.

This guy is an OG, he was my day one supervillain OC, or he was at least my earliest. He evolved from a mad scientist who used mechanical marvels to a sympathetic villain who is still a mad scientist who uses mechanical marvels. But I've given in lore context as to why he's able to make mechs so effectively so it doesn't feel out of left field. Also, no bais but I think his story is absolutely gut wrenching as you see this poor man slowly lose everything he holds dear and goes down a dark path to try and salvage what's left of his shattered family.

Originally, Dr.Maniac was a lot older and had a drastically different design. But then I landed on this redesign and it kinda stuck with me since. Fun fact, this redesign is based on a little character I made out of three pieces of Lego I called Robert. In my head, he was a evil master builder that made Lego monsters to fight the protagonist, who was usually my hand. My original inspiration for Maniac was of course the mad scientist trope. I think it was either Syndrome of Dr.Doof that inspired me, may have been someone else entirely. But the design of his main mech suit, the BULK, was inspired by this thing:

I saw that and was like "yo that shit is badass I want my guy to use it"

I also wanted to give the guy a laser gun in case he was down to the absolute wire, so he has a modified caulking gun. How does a caulking gun become a laser blaster? Do mechanics use caulking guns? Two very good questions I don't know the answers to.

I recommend having a superhero persona because scenario is kinda specific

Also you can fix him if you want to

Robert Baker, or more infamously known as Dr.Maniac is a white middle aged father of two children, Amber and Chris Baker. He graduated from college with a doctorate in theoretical engineering and became a skilled freelance mechanic. He fell in love with his wife, Skylar Maniac (she was a lovely woman with an unfortunate last name) while in college and had the two at for mentioned kids. Skylar was murdered when the kids were just teenagers, she was killed by a sniper at a fancy restaurant while on a date with Robert. The sniper mistaken Skylar for a political figure, according to his confession. This was a devastating loss for the Baker family, especially Chris. Who disowned his father and ran away from home. Amber soon fell victim to breast cancer, and he was told that none of the treatments would work. Scared that he might lose his entire family, Robert soon slipped into insanity, he used his knowledge of engineering to create machines and gadgets, determined to find something, anything that could cure Amber's cancer. He changed his last name to Maniac in honor of his wife and set himself on this journey to save the last bit of family he has left. Robert rarely changes out of his mechanic jumpsuit, he wears a necklace with his wife's photo in it, and he always wears glasses because he's partially blind in both eyes, he has been since birth. His black hair is tied up in a ponytail. Robert portrays the sin of lust. (lust is often misinterpreted or misunderstood as the "horny" sin. But personally I think lust is a sin of overindulgent love. Sure, Robert's love for his daughter is absolute, but this love is twisted into insanity and obsession. Therefore falling under the sun of lust). His main weapon of choice is a giant mech suit named the BULK, it's very bulky in design. He also wields a caulk gun that he has modified into a laser gun and a jet pack he can use for quick escapes. (Robert is apart of a villain group called the Deadly 7, a group comprised of seven villains who each represent a sin (this fact is unimportant))
