Origin:

Nungali is a normal human (though that may be stretching the term some). He's just a guy, if one with extensive combat training and a homicidal streak a mile wide. Furthermore, thanks to the Medusa Web, he's got access to one of the single most advanced arsenals of weaponry available in the world...

Known Powers:

(none)

Equipment:

Guns:
Nungali has a veritable arsenal at his disposal, thanks to the nigh-infinite coffers of the Medusa Web. He usually wields the most advanced guns available, guns that typically can inflict Remarkable (30) Armor Piercing Shooting damage per deadly hit - these are fully automatic 'lawn mowers'.

He may have other guns on hand, depending on the situation, but he does like to add custom modifications to weaponry, like silencers, infrared sights (+1 CS to hit targets and to called shots), telescopic sights (virtually line of sight strike capability), and other homicidal niceties.

Knives: Nungali also tends to carry at least two bladed weapons on his person at all times, as he doesn't like to rely solely on his guns in the event that they may fail him. He can use these to inflict Good (10) Edged Attack damage with every personal, yet lethal attack.

He can use the knives to cut through materials of at least Remarkable (30) m.s., and possibly up to Monstrous (75) m.s., depending on the materials the knives are made of. He will use those made of at least solid steel (Remarkable 30), but prefers titanium (Monstrous 75).

Armor: Nungali always wears his big, brownish-gray padded armor suit in battle, which provides him Good (10) protection from physical attack, and Typical (6) protection from fiery attack. Keeps him alive in battle with normals, typical authority figures, and less powerful paranormals.

Communications Gear: Nungali has a complete comm system in his helmet that he can use to communicate with Babel (he speaks little else besides his native Egyptian, so he doesn't bother talking to his fellows). His gear has Typical (6) range (100 miles), with audio / video transmission capabilities.

Quirks:

Attitude, x2:
Nungali's delusional beliefs about himself and the destiny of his nation lead to his having a rather bad attitude towards anything else that is breathing. People typically react to his disregard to their existence as if his Popularity were -2 CS worse than is already listed above.

Delusions: Nungali firmly believes that Egypt will be soon returning to its former power and glory, and that he's the key to that return. It's just a matter of time, of course, before he has the resources and the power to make it so... Current events don't seem to dissuade Nungali from this belief, either.

Talents:

Guns:
regardless of what kind of gun it is, whether it be a standard, semi-automatic, or fully automatic rifle or pistol, Nungali can use it to kill you - he rarely needs more than one shot to do so, actually. When firing any non-directed energy weapon, Nungali does so as though his Agy score was +1 CS in rank.

Martial Arts Types A, B, C, D, and E: Nungali is also a veritable master of hand to hand combat, and gains the benefit of all these styles of martial arts in battle. He rarely has to stoop to unarmed hand to hand combat, of course, but when he does, you'd better watch out - he's a persistent foe.

Military / Egypt: Nungali was well trained by the military of Egypt, where he gained his basics in the other skills listed here. He has also received further training from the K.G.B. in Syria, where he worked for a time in his particular trade, and from the Medusa Web itself.

Survival: Nungali is good at keeping himself alive; he's been doing it under extremely adverse conditions for over twenty years. As such, he can easily scrounge up enough food and water to keep himself going just about forever, as long as it is feasible (say, on the earth).

Weapons Master: Nungali has been a professional assassin for most of his life, and as such, has a fluid mastery of just about anything you can use to kill another person. He adds a +1 CS to all FEAT rolls that involve him using a melee weapon (improvised or not) against others.

Contacts:

Nungali is one of the more effective, if erratic members operatives of the Medusa Web. As such, were he in serious trouble, he may possibly be able to rely on the subversive organization for aid should he need it. Depending on his current nuisance level, however, they may decide they have a good reason not to...

Costume:

Nungali wears a padded body suit capable of deflecting most standard gunfire. The top is brown, the pants are gray, the boots, gloves, and belt are black. Nungali also wears a rather distinctive helmet with a large visor and microphone on it, and has enough straps and such to contain all his gear.

Personality:

Nungali is very, very sociopathic. He's the type of guy that, when you run into him in a dark alley, you really hope he's after your friends instead of you, because he actually enjoys killing people. If it's a real challenge, of course. Mind you, he'll only be after you if there's money in it for him...

Story:

Nungali Kashab, the man known to his targets as Potiphar, is a very dangerous man, as it is his job to kill people... and he's extremely good at it. He's named for the Biblical executioner to the Pharaohs, a name that helps to strike fear into his quarry - those that know the reference, at any rate.

He's been a professional mercenary and assassin for all of his adult life, and for a large portion of his time before adulthood. He's an operative of the Medusa Web, but little of his story is known before the published accounts of his time with that group - which is probably a good thing.

He was first seen when he accompanied a large number of Medusa Web operatives in their mission to capture Psi-Force in San Diego, a job that he helped to succeed by viciously shooting down Kathy Ling, that group's telekinetic paranormal, with a full auto burst from his (currently) favorite gun.

She would've died if not for her healer companion, who managed to patch up the series of holes Potiphar put in her torso. He was next seen during an odd Medusa Web operation where he was to recover some stolen nerve gas from Iranian agents, and return them to the Iraqi forces that originally purchased them.

Potiphar recovered the gas all too easily, decimating the Iranians in the progress, but when the Iraqis arrived to collect the goods, he killed all of them after he was paid; he has a thing against Iraqis, it would seem - and this was even before all that Desert Storm mess took place.

His next op teamed him with Troublemaker and Skybreaker in the recovery of Jake Travest, the current Spitfire, in order to acquire a schematic of the Mark 3 M.A.X. armor. Easily defeating Travest's Canadian jailers, the three Web agents freed him and took him to the government warehouse holding the armor.

Believing the Web men to be American agents, he gave them the M.A.X. schematic so they could help him fix it, at which point they blew up the suit, the warehouse it was being kept in, and Travest - all in order to cover both their tracks and the knowledge that they now had M.A.X. technological capability.

Potiphar's next mission saw him teamed up with most all of the Medusa Web and the paranormal vigilante known as Justice, in order to free the paranormal group known as Psi-Force from the Siberian Project, deep in the heart of the U.S.S.R.

While there, he had killed Sillatochca ('Force Point', a psychokinetic member of the Soviet paranormal strike force known as Red Sun). After this was accomplished, Potiphar joined in with the rest of the Medusa Web, Psi-Force, Justice, and Red Sun in their effort to kill Rodstvow.

After all, it wanted to kill all of them, and just about everybody else on the planet.

After all this mayhem, Potiphar helped to train the paranormals in Psi-Force in military operations, as they'd just joined the Medusa Web, and he was more than good at such things, having been trained by the Web as well as the K.G.B. in that area of expertise. His further exploits have yet to be revealed...
