Enemies A to Z: Ectoplasmic Man 2.0 presents a villain ? and only a villain, there is no redemption for this character ? for M&M (2nd edition) in several power levels.

The Ectoplasmic Man is a former multiple murderer in the classic psychotic loner mode. He came from an abusive and broken home and after several prison sentences, he was again convicted on multiple murder counts and killed by lethal injection. Then, with no reason given, he returned as an evil spirit-being, capable of possessing people. The Ectoplasmic Man uses his new abilities to commit even more brutal crimes of the sort he did while he was alive.

The writeup of the Ectoplasmic Man (written up at PL 15, 12 and 10) is a very tightly constructed possessor with a set of powers to make his ?host? more dangerous. As an ectoplasmic being, he is very nearly un-killable and difficult to confine and with his ability to jump from body to body, the Ectoplasmic Man is a very dangerous foe.

Unfortunately, as a rather standard ?psycho-killer? he will kill people and do terrible things. While this is perfect for a horror game, it does not fit into many of the standard comic genres and would make the Ectoplasmic Man impossible to use in some sorts of super-heroic campaigns. However, some good plot hooks are included for games that can use him along with his standard tactics.

A solidly built character if a bit stereotypical in background (which is not really out of genre for the comics) but not usable as written in all campaigns.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Good character design.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Not a perfect fit for the super-heroic genre.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
