Dr Drake Pennington is a genius. He's also petty, arrogant, and slightly paranoid. Thinking his genius was going unnoticed, he decided to steal as much as he could from his employer, Leading Edge Technologies, and enter the world of supervillainy. Although his arsenal of technological devices was impressive, and he scored some early success, he found that groups of superheroes could be very frustrating to his plans. This led to the creation of the Elite. He gathered some villains that he felt he could work with and released them on the world. For the most part, the Elite are in the game for respect. They don't desire to rule the world but want the world to take notice. They work as mercenaries or enforcers, and tend to obssess over heroes that defeat them.
As Overmind, Dr. Pennington is happier that he has been in a long time, he is is own boss, develops technologies at whim and has a cadre of supervillains to lead.
At this early stage in his career, Overmnind has precious few goals. He wants to be respected as a master scientist, and get enough money for unlimited research. He sees the Elite as a project, and once he as achieved the goal of making them a formidable supervillain group he is unsure as to what they will do from there.
"Your much ballyhooed intelligence seems to be less than adequate, Defender."
Supergenius intellect gadgeteer.
The Elite are serving the purpose of supervillain evolution in my campaign. The members of the Elite will become closer and closer as teammates and Overmind will use his genius to improve their gear and tactics as he gains more of a tactical sense.
