Meta-Human Abilities:
Polka Dots: A series of disks that can flatten onto his suit and be removed, expanding into a designated weapon. This so far includes:
Buzzsaw: Disks that turn into serrated blades that can cut through almost anything
Fists: Disks that transform into a flurry of floating fists to batter and barrage the enemy
"The Sun": A bright yellow disk that emits a blinding flash like a flashbang grenade
"The Hole": Recently developed with Immortus's upgrades, black dots that form a portal system to teleport anything or anyone that enters it
"Death Disks": More of a side effect of his newfound condition, smaller, buckshot-like polka dots that can be shot out and controlled from Abner's gauntlets, that scorch and burn through anything they touch
Flying Saucers: Disks that when removed form a large hover platform for Abner to ride on
Bubble: Similar to the Flying Saucers, this disk forms a transparent bubble around the sphere to allow for a bigger group to ride without falling off the transport
Imagination is the limit: As Abner develops his powers further, he's slowly learning to create new disks on the fly so long as they fit his vague spherical theme. Such as fireballs or large boulders
Standard Abilities:
Booksmart, not Streetsmart: Abner is quite adept at improvising technology and creating gadgets, though not exactly the most brilliant strategist
Paraphernalia:
Polka Dot Suit: A specialized suit that helps Abner control his abilities, and safely handle his condition
Subject Weaknesses:
Polka-Pox: Twice a day Abner will develop glowing, cancerous growths spawned by his malfunctioning powers, that will eat through his insides unless he can expel them using his specialized suit
Weak: Abner is not in great physical shape, relying on his powers in a fight
Insecurity: Abner has developed a lot of self doubt over his years of years of villainy, leaving him quite meek and awkward
Reputation: Abner is seen as a laughing stock by a majority of the villain and hero communities alike, making it difficult to be taken seriously or make connections
Subject History
Abner Krill was around for the very start of Batman's heroic career, before Penguin, before Joker, before Bane, there was Mr Polka Dot! Setting out with his homemade super suit, Abner ventured forth in search of fame and adoration, as well as to prove his superior wit to the dark knight! This all came crashing down however when Robin used a borrowed Leopard to track Abner back to his base of operations. While he captured the boy wonder, the petulant youth used a secret brail pattern poked into the ransom note Abner sent Batman to alert him to the incoming ambush, leading to Krill's defeat and capture.
After this, Abner did in fact become a minor celebrity, at least in terms of being known and showing up on talk shows in costume, but once more serious and threatening villains such as the Joker and Penguin began their wrathful rule, Abnir hung up his costume forever...
...Or so he thought. Broke and unable to find employment given his laughable past, Abner desperately took to donning the Polka Dot suit once more in hopes of making a quick buck. However since he was too broke to power the suit, he merely took to trying to rob a jewlery store with a baseball bat. This worked about as well as can be expected, as after breaking a patrol officer's kneecap with the bat, he was promptly beaten to a bloody pulp by an enraged Harvey Bullock. Krill's only victory here was filing a police brutality lawsuit against Bullock, sending the detective to long overdue therapy.
Depressed, Drunk, Destitute. Abner was the laughing stock of Gotham. Doing little else than drinking himself into a stupor at whatever bar would let him in, he was constantly mocked by his fellow villains for the irony of a leopard being used to track him down. However one night when Nightwing as showing Batgirl the seedy hideouts of Gotham, the two would visit the "My Alabi" bar and grill, a place for petty thugs and failed supervillains to gather. Their arrival led to a brawl among the patrons there, Abnir being unlucky enough to be thrown through a window by Grayson.
At his lowest point, Krill would join other "Loser" baddies Condiment King, and The Human Flame, to be guided and upgraded by Professor Milo and General Immortus. When Flame betrayed the group, Krill and King were both seemingly killed in action...But in truth Abner barely survived, using the polka dot technology now ingrained into himself to warp the manhole cover sent flying at his head moments before it was fully crushed.
He'd almost wish he died though. The injury, while physically recovered, had caused the newly implanted tech within his body to malfunction. Any attempt at a normal life was gone as Abner now found himself sprouting glowing, multicolored growths all over himself that eventually compressed into the dots stored on his suit. His body now serving as the medium for the technology he had developed. Requiring to wear the suit at all times to safely dispel of his Polka Dots, and prevent them from eating away at his internals. These polka dots had consumed his dignity, his respect, his self worth, he'd be damned if they took his life too! So reluctantly he returns to the streets as Polka Dot Man, desperate to maintain enough dough to power his suit and keep a roof over his head. Afterall, living is a pain, but the thought of dying is worse.
Subject Interview
"Why oh why did I agree to this?!" Muttered Abner, currently fleeing for his life from a squad of goons. Only an idiot would steal a rack of pearls from a mob. Especially a Gotham City mob! But Abner was desperate enough to be that idiot. Having been paid off by a rival gang, the poor Polka Dot Man was speeding away in his bubble pod, pearls clutched to his chest in panic.
Every bullet that grazed the device was matched with a startled yelp by the spotted supervillain, wobbling his transport as the goons yelled down from below.
"Get down here and fight like a real man you freak!"
"Cowardly as you are pathetic huh?!"
The mooks laughed to eachother as Abner slouched his shoulders with a sigh. Nothing he hadn't heard before afterall. In this moment of hesitation however, the dastardly duo tossed a small explosive at the Polka-Pod, sending it careening off course! Bouncing from wall to wall like the world's biggest pinball, Krill was sent flying right back at the vehicle chasing him, both parties getting a good view of the other screeching in panic before they collided!
Emerging from the wreckage with a groan, Abner looked up just in time to see a pair of pistols shoved right in his face!
"Any last words Mr Polka Dot?" One mook grumbled, eyes locked on Abner's terrified expression.
"I-I changed it to The Polka Dot Man actually" Krill corrected as he was whapped on the head with the pistol.
"Gonna look dumb on your tombstone either way. Now hand over the pearls before we give you another spot between the eyes." The other goon threatened, whipping out a pistol of his own.
"I think it's still in the pod, let me check..." Abner meekly claimed, getting back up to his feet with hands held high in the air...his gauntlets flashing open with a bright white light, a swarm of polka dots burst forth into the air above him.
Both goons just looked at eachother in bafflement before bursting out into laughter.
"You kiddin' me? That's the best you've got?"
"Erm....Kinda yeah" confided Abner, taking a step back as the dots rained down upon the pair of thugs. Laughter turned to screams of agony and horror as the multicolored hailstorm seared and burned through their flesh, causing Krill to wince and look away as their bodies gargled and twitched before collapsing onto the ground, speckled in holes.
"Jesus...I'm never going to get used to that" Shuddered the Polka Dot Man, fishing out the pearls from his pod with a sigh of relief. Opening up a black dot, he flung it out against a nearby wall. Diving through the empty void, Abner would pop out through the floor of his apartment building from another dot he placed earlier.
Sealing the portal up, he tossed the pearls and his helmet onto a wall hanger before collapsing into the nearest chair. His attempts to settle down were interrupted by a fuzzy weight pouncing onto his chest. The purring of his tabby quite audible as he scratched under their chin, the feline dressed up in a costume resembling his own.
"Miss me Speckles? You won't believe the day I've had..."
