Xerek Newton

Xerek Newton, referred to by his underlings as The Patriarch, is a criminal mastermind and “investor in chaos” who leads the Unforgivables, a massive syndicate that is secretly responsible for all of the crime in Municiberg and Metroville. He is putting together a master plan entitled “Operation Black Mirror” to use Everseer’s brain patterns to enhance the effects of Screenslaver’s technology to brainwash all of the Sister Cities into killing the Incredibles. His plan fails and he goes on the run, hiring various supervillains such as Shifty, Radio X, and the Hoarder to perform various villainous tasks for him. Fifteen years into the future, he is old and frail and seeks to use a machine to drain Stratogale’s lifeforce to make himself young again. When that plan fails, he initiates a backup plan - to use that same machine to release a wave of zero-point energy into Municiberg, empowering a new generation of heroes and villains. He succeeds in this, although he is killed when his machine crashes down on top of him, crushing him.
