KNOWN SUPERHUMAN
POWERS: Karkas possesses various superhuman attributes apart form his superhuman strength.
His thick hide can withstand concussive forces up to those of a small anti-tank missile before sustaining serious injury.

Karkas' speed and reflexes are only about 0.75 that of the average human being. His lack of an opposable thumb
prevents him from utilizing many ordinary tools.
KRO

Kro
OTHER ALIASES:
Brother Kro, Warlord Kro, The Devil, Paul Sayden, Agent 6, Rudolph Hendler
IDENTITY:
Kro's existence is known to the general public of Earth, which, however, tends not to believe

Monarch of Deviant Lemuria
LEGAL STATUS:
Citizen of Deviant Lemuria
PLACE OF
BIRTH: Deviant Lemuria

BASE OF
OPERATIONS: Deviant Lemuria; Formerly,
the Pentagon and the Pyramid of the Winds
GROUP AFFILIATION:
The Deviants; Former leader of Delta Force
HEIGHT:
6' 5''
WEIGHT:
320 lbs.
EYES:
Red
HAIR:
Bald, with black beard
STRENGTH
LEVEL: Kro can lift (press) around 800 lbs.
KNOWN SUPERHUMAN
POWERS: Despite his Deviant heritage, Kro possesses a number of
superhuman traits characterisitc of an Eternal. Kro maintains a virtually unbreakable mental control over
the processes and structure of his body even when he is asleep or unconscious. As a result, Kro has lifespan
that has already lasted over 20,000 years and is immune to disease and aging. His mental control over his body
enables him to maintain a youthful, vigorous physical condition. Kro is not as nearly indestrctible as the Eternals.
(For example, Ikaris nearly killed Kro once by strangulation.) But while sufficient force can kill Kro, he can use
his mental control over his body to heal himself after being injured.
Kro also possesses the power of physical malleability, which is atypical for a Deviant. At will he can cause most of the
tissue of his body to become pliant, enabling him to shape it mentally like putty into different configurations. Once the
tissue is set in an altered form, Kro has only to stop concentrating and his body will retain that shape until such time
as he concentrates upon changing it again. This ability enables him to disguise himself and take the appearance of others
(with cosmetic help for skin color, body hair, and so forth). One of Kro's favorite ploys is to pass himself off among
ordinary humanity as a demon by fashioning horns on his head.
Kro has about three times the physical endurance of an ordinary human athlete. His heart is not located in the same place
as an ordinary human being's; its true location is unrevealed.
ABILITIES:
Kro is a master military strategist, a superb military commander, a good hand-to-hand combatant, and an expert in the use
of Deviant weaponry.
LIMITATIONS:
Kro cannot alter the shape of his skeleton in more than minor ways. Moreover, he cannot eliminate any of his mass while
transforming; he can only redistribute his 320 pounds of weight. Hence, he usually only uses his shape-changing power to
alter his facial features.
