The arc is coming to a close. Let me start out by thanking everyone who created a hero for this storyline. I may not have been able to use those characters as much as I could have hoped to, but I did try to do them justice.
Besides, this one had to wrap up eventually. This isn’t The Actioneer’s comic. It nearly was when I first started out, but the Claw and company will be back soon!

shock value isn’t lost, when it is revealed is
entirely up to Zappit
Powers/Abilities: Shapeshifting
DNA Absorption and Manipulation
Immortality
Immunity to Everything (except his ONE remaining weakness)
{Explanation: His unique biology allows him to absorb another’s DNA and
store it within himself, once he does he can take on their form and any
Powers/Abilities that were tied to their genetic code. He can also
manipulate/combine the DNA within him/others to grant/unlock certain
traits/forms. He currently has over 7 million DNA codes from various

immune to loud noise, then he would no longer be vulnerable to it.}
Electricity (Formerly, became immune after absorbing Electric Eel DNA)
Religion: None, Believes in God though
Fighting Style: Skilled, Creative, Pragmatic
Origin: Experiment Golem-187-Beta began as a nothing more than a pile of goop in a test tube until the Jewish scientists let him absorb their DNA, then they attempted to brainwash his new-found sentience and have him kill all Nazi’s, but he escaped after getting his hands on rat DNA and later absorbed some dog genetics he met a nice Nazi family who took him and gave
him his first taste of kindness and compassion (ironic in so many ways, isn’t it), after surviving a bombing that killed the family, he hoped on a boat to Japan where he met the leader of the Ban Ninja Clan and became his disciple, completing his training within a few years. Heading to Italy to escape the war and find work, he came under the employment of the Onorabile Mafia, after a few days in he revealed is powers to protect some of the Family’s assets, this lead to his promotion to Spy and was sent to America to infiltrate the government and in a couple of years became the widely popular President JFK, but he was discovered by some Senators and they arranged a public assassination (so that he would have play dead, or have some compromising questions raised). For his hard work he was promoted to a Captain of the
Onorabile Family and eventually he got chosen to be the next Onorabile Godfather at the 14th’s retirement party.
Trivia: 1. The Onorabile Mafia is an Anti-Hero organisation that helps those in need when they
can’t go the legal route, thus the Crime Family is involved in most form of
trafficking (they don’t do non-medical drugs), smuggling, theft, assassination and
blackmailing. They are the main force that stops the Underworld from breaking out
into a No-Holds Barred War and of keeps corrupt politicians in check. Makes
sense since Onorabile is Italian for Honorable.
2. Despite been a Crime Lord, he was always a good husband and was a good father to
[Spoiler Charcter]. He also does his best to look out for his men and is loved by
them for it.
3. The ‘wife’ of President JFK was a fellow Onorabile Family Spy, the various women he
slept with then was to gather dirt on the U.S. Government Senators, which is still
used by the Onorabile Mafia to this day. The only woman he truly loved back then
was Marilyn Monroe.
4. After Marilyn’s murder disguised as suicide. GooFather started creating a disease
to kill the murderer and eventually succeeded in infecting them with it making them
the Patient Zero of it. Today it is known as AIDS and to those who know the truth
of its origins it serves as a reminder to never harm GooFather’s loved ones. (The
blame for it origins was easily shifted cause it was tested out on a lot of
Chimpanzees)
5. GooFather has used his powers to develop cures for EVERY major disease on the
planet, but doesn’t make them public, because it would end medical science and if
he every died would spell certain doom for humanity. Instead he subtly guides
researchers in the right direction
6. He started using his Relaxation Form around the late 60s. The reason he made it
Black Hermaphrodite was a) it helped show peoples true character, before he got too
close to them and b) it is a nice combination of all his favourite human traits

I know it’s a lot but that’s just how passionate I am about this character.

Some parts of Goofathers backstory is coming true
http://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/former-member-of-jfks-protection-staff-allegedly-shared-secret-with-film-director-oliver-stone/news-story/685616353c889243ccc552ef65c27a81
By Puck Sun Jul 11th 2021 at 5:17 am
Okay, his backstory REALLY bothers me. He was created by Jewish scientists who tried to brainwash him but then given a home (and kindness) by Nazis? That’s… Really Anti-Semitic. What the HELL. Not okay, y’all.
By Justonalark Mon Aug 29th 2016 at 6:37 am
I really like the idea of the Onorobile family! And I’m amused by the idea that America’s handsomest, most womanizingist politician was actually a shapeshifting blob. But reading this story, there’s something that seriously bothers me… there have been 35 million reported dead from AIDS so far, with more dying every day. The casualties of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki COMBINED only make up one HALF of ONE PERCENT of the number of innocent people Goofather has so far condemned to a miserable, suffering death. And you say he not only tested the virus extensively, but also has the cures for all diseases. So he KNEW it would spread like this, and had the means to stop it from spreading after it killed the murderer, but he didn’t? I don’t mean any offense, but am I missing something here? ‘Cause 35 million innocent people murdered (and counting) ain’t “anti-hero.” 35 million innocent people murdered (and counting) is “greatest monster history has ever known.”
By Justonalark Mon Aug 29th 2016 at 6:40 am
Again, I’m not trying to offend you! Just surprised and confused is all.
By Gianluca Burdon Mon Aug 29th 2016 at 10:50 am
Yeah, I get it.
But look a little more deeply into it. First of all he was young at the time and was quite consumed by his anger over the murder, one doesn’t exactly make the best decisions in that state. Second, remember when I said he has “years of wisdom”, well wisdom often comes at a price and sometimes that price is really heavy. Third, as stated above he doesn’t release these cures as it would end medical science since if he releases one cure then society will make him release the rest until medically the world is ENTIRELY dependent on him. Fourth, he is trying to rectify this mistake by among other things, donating to AIDS research. Fifth, it been around helps serves as a reminder to not be reckless in his actions, thus any other diseases he has created are entirely NON-CONTAGIOUS, which is good considering one of them:
1. Increses the sensitivity of your nervous system
2. Makes all your teeth fly out of you mouth like bullets
3. Makes your heart start rapidly beating, puffing you up like a ballon and setting you on fire
4. Makes you explode, thus killing you
Overall it is one of the most painful and horrific ways to die in the Supervillainous universe
By Justonalark Mon Aug 29th 2016 at 6:44 am
As for the actual comic above, I see that the Actioneer is employing the oldest trick in the book: not using any tricks and just doing things exactly the way society asks you to. They never see it coming.
By Seros Senric Mon Aug 29th 2016 at 7:49 am
It is a sign of someone that is truly capable.
A lot of so-called heroes and villains do things in ways that are far harder than necessary because they forget this.
By Gianluca Burdon Mon Aug 29th 2016 at 10:53 am
So any other creators going to realse the original info for their heros?
By Darius Drake Mon Aug 29th 2016 at 12:09 pm
I’ll imitate Gianluca Burdon and explain Focus’s powers… and give significantly less detail than Gianluca Burdon did. Also, I’m doing this from memory, so it’s not 100% the same things I sent to Zappit.
Focus only has one power, Telekinesis. However, he has four ways to utilize this power, each with different limitations… and creating different coloured bubbles. Of course, Focus can only use one colour at a time.
Green. Green is the default, and the most versatile way for Focus to use his powers. It’s the “Jack of All Trades, Master of None” colour. He can use it to lift things, crush them, throw them, to defend and he can easily use it in multiple places at once. It’s also the only colour that Focus can Fly using. And, obviously, it’s weakness is that it’s, comparatively, weak. Oh, and, it’s defenses are similar to water, it’s better at defending against High Impacts than slow speed. So it’s easier to hit Focus with a Crowbar than with the bullet of a sniper rifle while he’s defended with this colour. Also, in the comic, we could see Focus using this colour to play with his powers for a moment.
Blue. Blue’s the defensive power. By restricting the power to close range and pure defense, Focus can withstand assaults from nearly anything. It’s weakness, however, is that this power IS purely defensive, and actually removes even the slightest Offensive potential Focus has. Basically, it turns Focus into an immobile, impenetrable wall. Showed in the Action Faction Page 7, defending against Firebug’s Flames.
Red. Red’s the offensive power. It’s a small bubble that pretty much crushes everything it passes through. Focus’s main use of this is actually in Fire & Rescue situations, cutting Steel Beams & the like, not combat. Basically because he doesn’t trust his ability NOT to kill people using it, considering his Red Bubble to be, essentially, a Black Hole formed through Telekinesis. He can change the size, but it’s never going to be much bigger than an adult’s pinky finger. Also, while using it, Focus has no Defenses, so he’s an easy one-shot.
Yellow. Yellow’s the Lifting focused power. Basically, what you think of when you think of basic Telekinesis. It’s different from Green as he can’t surround or lift himself with it, and because it has significantly stronger lifting power. At least an order of Magnitude or two. The other two focuses, Red & Blue, actually also similarly increase in powers of magnitude from their Green Equivalent, it’s just easier to describe for Yellow. Oh, and, Red concentrates the entirety of the base power and power boost into one little bubble, so it can seem exponentially stronger than what his other powers can do.
By Justonalark Mon Aug 29th 2016 at 6:49 pm
Cool! I’ve always liked the idea of multiple powers that can’t be used at the same time, like the omnitrix in Ben 10, Ultra Boy from the Legion of Superheroes, or Maxima from Grrl Power. It lends a sense of danger and strategy to every fight when a character has to choose which aspect to focus on in order to HOLY CRAP, FOCUS, I JUST GOT THAT. LITERALLY, WHILE TYPING THAT SENTENCE. WELL DONE, SIR. HATS OFF TO YOU.
By Darius Drake Mon Aug 29th 2016 at 9:35 pm
If you got the “Focus has to Focus on one thing” bit of his name, you should know that that’s not the only reason why he’s called focus. There’s other reasons. One of them is “Focus powers up by Focusing his powers on One Thing”. I do have others, as well.
By Justonalark Mon Aug 29th 2016 at 6:37 pm
Alright, I’ll join in too. Especially since Habanero Devil didn’t get much of a chance to do anything… *sigh* Oh well! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hellfire Condiments is a small company that is best known for Hellfire sauce, which bills itself as being the spiciest hot sauce in the world… you know, just like practically every other hot sauce on the market does. Where Hellfire stands out is it’s spokesman/mascot, the Habanero Devil, a superhero who claims that his incredible fiery powers are unlocked by the unrivaled capsaicin concentration of Hellfire sauce! He carries a couple bottles on him in holsters, and will often take a swig from one when he claims he needs an extra power boost. It’s clearly an amusing advertising gimmick, probably inspired by old Popeye cartoons, and most people don’t think twice about it.
Of course what most people don’t know is that the Habanero Devil isn’t just a corporately sponsored superhero. He’s also Hellfire Condiments’ founder and CEO, Anthony Clark, who spent years perfecting his Hellfire recipe before putting it on the market. And while one of Habanero’s holsters actually does contain Hellfire sauce, the other one holds a different concoction that Clark stumbled upon while working on his recipe. At the time he was experimenting with a few unorthodox ingredients, most notably the dried seeds of a rare strain of habaneros grown in the irradiated desert soil of a former nuclear test site. With these, he accidentally figured out how to create a liquid with a uniquely tangy zest that also granted the imbiber fiery superpowers for a little over six hours with each dose (6 hours, 6 minutes, and 6 seconds to be precise.) Wanting to use his discovery to help people (and to help his own profit margin,) but afraid to risk it falling into the wrong hands, Clark came up with the advertising scheme to hide the true source of his powers in plain sight.
By Justonalark Mon Aug 29th 2016 at 6:41 pm
I’ll try not to make this too much longer, but here’s a few bits of trivia:
– Clark is a foodie with a spice obsession, and can stomach and enjoy some of the hottest things known to man without breaking a sweat. Its debatable whether Hellfire is the hottest sauce in the world, but it’s hotter than Sriracha, hot enough that the fact that he does occasionally drink it straight is somewhere between impressive and terrifying.
– Although we never saw a full view of him in the comic, Habanero’s costume includes a nonfunctional barbed tail. The tail, ears, horns, and even goatee are all just for show; Anthony Clark is a clean-shaven guy with a blonde ponytail.
– The devil face on his chest is the Hellfire Condiments logo.
– Habanero’s powers are pretty formidable; if he focuses, he can get his flames plenty hot enough to melt steel, and he can make a lot of fire without feeling in any way drained or diminished. However, he has very little formal combat training or fighting experience, so in battle, he relies on his powers almost exclusively.
– While he can (and does) throw fireballs and breathe fire, Habanero’s real specialty is in SHAPING fire, creating walls of flame to shield allies and trap foes. His degree of control is fine enough that he can surround someone with a snakelike coil of flame to force them to stand still, scorch guns out of people’s hands, or create burning letters or shapes in the air.
– Yes, he can shoot fire from any part of his body. No, he doesn’t choose to shoot it out of his posterior. Until the Actioneer implied that back at Habanero’s first appearance, the possibility honestly hadn’t occurred to me, so I’m going to say that it hadn’t occurred to him either. Suddenly realizing that people may have been laughing about this behind his back all this time helps to explain why he spends the rest of the storyline so quiet and rattled.
– Normally Clark is an enthusiastic wiseacre, ESPECIALLY while in costume. He’s overconfident and impulsive, with a tendency to hog the spotlight, mostly so he can bring as much attention to his product as possible, but also because he likes attention. But his heart’s in the right place, and he’ll always choose people over profit.
By Anarchyant Tue Aug 30th 2016 at 8:21 pm
Actually I thought the Actioneer was implying he was shooting it “from the hip” (his groin area that is) rather than the back end. To be honest I think he wouldn’t have been put off from him lighting his own ass but the front end was a no no. I mean it would cut into Actioneers mickey taking time as he would be doing more to his own team than the bad guys.

I never realized he has computer mice on his wrists.
By Justonalark Tue Aug 30th 2016 at 6:21 am
I think they’re some kind of high tech brass knuckles type deals.

They also shoot smoke pellets
By Towering Barbarian Wed Aug 31st 2016 at 3:36 am
Zap,
Let the record show that I consider Actioneer a very worthy guest star while he was here indeed. And should you ever have time, energy and inclination to make a spinoff series centered on him I will be glad to read it. ^_^
By Justonalark Wed Aug 31st 2016 at 3:55 am
Seconded.

Fourthed (Walled). Would also like to know if he is actually going to pursue his “adventures” with the green skinned damsel he was drooling over.
By Drak Thu Jul 12th 2018 at 8:55 pm
Man, I’m gonna miss Germania – she seemed like a cool character… but I get it – you can’t keep cool characters in to not upstage Crimson Claw 😛
In all seriousness, Claw is cool too 😉
