"Luthor made this from nothing - and made me from nothing," she remarks and then for the first time, stops and regards him fully. "From what I understand, you have nothing."
"I have... fallen upon hard times." He runs his good hand over his hair. "There was a time when I was something important. A patriot, willing to serve Mother Russia to the bitter end."
He smiles grimly. "Does it seem ridiculous to you that I've lived here, in America, for twenty five years? I lived in the Soviet Union for only twenty one. For all intents and purposes, I am an American citizen. An irony that never fails to sicken me."
"Still, something can come from nothing." His eyes rest on the kryptonite arm.
The chair molds around him, at first comfortably, then the pressure and some sort of strange suction pulls and holds him, even his arms and legs.
"No."
((OOC: I think that works for a scene. There is no Luthor in the current game and so the arm upgrade might be a plot device later if you want one, but I don't know if you can walk into the game with it. That would be up to Sean, the supes player, and the mods. Just FYI.))
((OOC, the writing style is great. Spelling, punctuation and queue reading seem to be "on." (Queue reading is more of an art then skill.) I'd call him about on par with Parasite as a threat. More brains then the villain, but less raw power. Impression seems to be he's a guy who needs a mastermind or commander giving him orders otherwise he gets lost pretty easily. Is that what you were going for?))
It seems about right. When he first appeared in Batman comics he was supposed to be the only villain on a physical par with Batman (this was before Bane though) and he wasn't supposed to be terribly stupid. He is clouded by his political views though, and now that he's not got the KGB commanding him (and he hasn't has them for 17 years) he's got to take orders from rich criminals that can afford his services.
He would have to have some mastermind to report to. He is, ultimately, a hitman. Unless someone's giving him orders or paying him he's not much other than a particularly well-built and well-armed thug.
