A transcendent genius - artist and technologist - amoral but passionate. Constructed a gigantic adaptive machine, the size of a warehouse, which folded itself away into sideways dimensions and could be worn like a suit…

Name of: Norbert Newell. He got the name `None´ (initially NoNe) when he was a graffiti artist (age 14); got arrested once whille tagging a police station and kicked out of college. In retaliation, suspended the entire school 900 feet in the air, with the words “A rule of None” written on the bottom in enormous luminescent letters.

His genius recognized, was approached by Los Vengadores and was a member until his artistic needs and egotism compelled him to leave and defeat them all in the process… final battle was on the moon, where El Capitan knocked him out. An insulting trick blow with a shield to undo a byzantine scheme.

When he returned, he defeated them all using the moon, the site of his last (and only) defeat. Proclaimed himself Emperor Norbert the Second of the USA. This grew boring after 100 days, and he set out to make art again. Eventually, he perfected dimensional jump technology, and discovered there were Avengers on many worlds, but only one Emperor None.

I have too much time on my head…
