Encyclopedia Bimblesnaff: Countdown

A literal ticking time bomb.

Jack, as is the only name he gave to his associates, is a member of The Rebels, a street gang that took their anarchy to the big leagues in the ruleless future. He carries the color red, and there's little who want to challenge him for it. He and Superb joined the gang at the same time, having carried out the same ruthless destruction solo before being recruited. It did not take long for the duo to quickly ascend the ranks, whether given or taken by force.

His codename comes from his ability to explode. He can release massive amounts of energy from his body all at once, but he requires a certain amount of time in order to do so. As a sick taunt, he counts down the amount of time until he unleashes it so that he can see his enemies run in fear. It's completely unnecessary for the actual denonation, but he wouldn't have it any other way.

He bears a tattoo of a zero over his left bicep. If his bandana were ever removed, it could be seen that a similar marking rests on his forehead. These mementos are from when he was created by the Creation Rebirth Offensive to return life to the world. After he went out of control and fled, they made their experiments more tame and traceable.

History:

Countdown was my super villain. He was the guy who had the best power, the most focus, and the greatest rivalries. When being retooled for End of Eternity it was this primary focus that intermixed his origin with Red Warrior. Truthfully, this role was occupied by Superb when EoE wasn't actaully EoE yet. However, the two top dogs needed to have some conflict between each other to make them stand out a bit more than the rest, no matter how diluted it was to become amidst the other horde of cast members.
