Description "Fantomas."
"What did you say?"
"I said: Fantomas."
"And what does that mean?"
"Nothing... And everything!"
"But what is it?"
"Nobody... And yet, it is somebody!"
"And what does that somebody do?"
"Spreads terror!" ----("FantΓ΄mas"- Chapter 1)

In the literary world, the character known as Fantomas marked a distinct change in the type of villains/criminals that would come in the 20th Century.

He walked a line between Criminal Mastermind and Mass Murdering Sociopath. You can see the mold from which many subsequent villains came from with this man. Putting Acid in Perfume Bottles, Unleashing Plague Rats on a Cruise Liner, etc. etc.

And to top it off, he seems to be doing it more for the sheer joy of orchestrating such acts than any monetary gain. Any rewards Fantomas reaps from the chaos he sows are just an added perk, but not what drives him. So yeah... he was "doing it for the evulz" long before guys like the Joker were even born.

Had a hard time finding a good base for the Lord of Terror, before stumbling upon an odd little game called "Power Instinct Matrimlee" for the Neo Geo. Found a character named Bristoll Weller who fit the outfit needs. In sharp contrast to most of my edits, had to add some width to him as opposed to subtracting it.

Got the head from Dhalsim.

Made two poses. Have another (a WIP) that may or may not see the light of day.

Took some inspiration from this awesome pic I found on Deviant Art [link]

Hope it looks good.

Which both remind me of Red Skull - where all 3 remind me of Destro from the live action Gi Joe movie.
