Overthrow: Xerxes

Description

Xerxes is the founder and leader of Overthrow. He is also one of the oldest and longest lasting villains still active, having been around for almost a full century. He is the half-brother of Algernon Xidorn, and like him was a creation of the Promethean Council for Human Advancement's experiments with extraordinary eugenics. Initially an agent of the Prometheans against his half-brother and the duo of Malthus and Windsor, Xerxes broke away from the Prometheans after they became subsumed into the SS-Ubersoldatenkorps and struck out as his own villain. He was a frequent ally of the megavillain Malek Khan, and an adversary of major heroes like Captain Meteor and the Silver Centurion before and after the Super War and Skarn Invasion. In fact, Xerxes has either led or been a member of every single villain group to directly oppose the various incarnations of the Allegiance, and Overthrow is just the latest version of that. Though he is no longer a member of the Prometheans, he still advances their cause in spirit, with the goal of establishing an order of "superior men" to rule the world, with him on top of course. Though he regards his lifelong partner Lady Oudine as an equal, he is aware of her manipulation of him and is quietly playing her himself. It will be very interesting to see what happens when all of this internal scheming in Overthrow comes to a head.

In terms of Thunder Woman, Xerxes was one of the main megavillains to object to the nomination of Helregin to the Tarot Society. Unlike many of his fellow megavillains he directly participated in the contest to prove Helregin's unworthiness, and believes he won that wager. However, Khagan Tsan overruled him on the verdict, and so Xerxes has carried a strong enmity for Helregin ever since. The whole situation has exposed some of the weaknesses in the Tarot's membership, rifts kept from growing by Tsan's sheer force of will overwhelming the egos of the other megavillains.
