"You'll have to excuse me, the hunt has a terrible pavlovian affect on me; I think it's the taste of fear in the air" Poacher is an A+ monster of a menace in this universe. He first appeared from the wreckage of a burned out addiction center, going on to build a life hunting alt humans, sometimes for a price, sometimes for pleasure. Poacher's body creates a chemical, which when absorbed thru the skin, allows him to influence a person's actions, thoughts, and desires; it was made more dangerous when Mr Infinity granted him a blood infusion. Those under his control now also find their traits amplified, and their minds trapped deep in a group subconscious known as the mind gap. These shells of people become his hunting hounds, assisting to take down his next prey. Repeated or prolonged exposure to this chemical can devolve a person's identity and mind, making them completely dependent on his touch and presence. The worst case of this is Ring, the small but extremely powerful young woman, who can almost always be seen at Poacher's side.
