Your challenge this week is to create one of the most under-rated characters in the world of villainy – the henchman

You know … the guy who actually took a beating from Batman and Robin while Catwoman high-tailed it or the Penguin waddled off.

Please include a brief bio of your henchman including his/her current employer.

The prize this week is my version of your henchman’s employer rendered with HM3

The premise of this contest is that over the next number of weeks we will build a team of superheroes and a team of villains. Each week I will supply you with a role, name, or list of powers of one of the team members and you will use HM3 to create the character.

The winner each week will win a version of their character created on HM by yours truly.

This week we move onto the final villain of the group - Phaedra.

Real Name: Doral Em’Lan

Age:unkown

Planet of origin: Aelurus

Powers: Doral domes from the planet Aelurus; a planet of cat like humanoids. She has night vision, is highly athletic, is famous for her hunting ability, and is a ruthless killer. She was famous on her home planet long before meeting Invidia, and does not take well to being told what to do.
