Archibald Van Pratt
Archibald was accidentally blasted from an alternate Earth into Paragon City by a weird science event. He came from a steampunk Earth ruled by the axiom of melodrama. In this Earth he was a villain, the true dastardly, mustache-twirling type. He spent his time making money by teaching fencing, blackmailing rich people, cheating widows of their farms, and threatening to tie young ladies to railroad tracks. Of course, by the physics of their world, he knew he would be foiled by brave rugged Royal Mounties, and clean-cut young college boys from the pugilist clubs. But he also knew that, after a good thrashing, he would find a way to escape and start up again. But, upon coming to Paragon, he was terrified by the sheer psychopathic behavior of the criminals there. So for his safety and sanity he decided to join the heroes of the PPD.
