===Infinitor=== Hugh Lowsley's beloved brother Nigel also got cosmic power from the shard they touched, but his came at the cost of his sanity. Driven mad by screams and whispers from the thing he was connected to, he also learned to harness his power... and to use it to destroy all he finds out there in space. Infinitor is a villain in the mold of Plague Rat, with relatively few complex strategies offset by pure, raw damage output. Unlike Plague Rat, who goes it alone, he has an army of Manifestations on his side, evil mirrors of Captain Cosmic's constructs. They're also four-hitpoint critters, but while Captain Cosmic's are fragile and tend to buff his team, Infinitor's get built-in damage reduction from his card (and the Twisted Miscreation gets all damage dealt to it reduced ''to'' one if it goes over) and instead shit damage all over you, and in one case trap you in a slowly-closing cage that keeps you from playing cards. Worse, he's very much a solid fighter in his own right, and lots of his cards put a ''lot'' of Manifestations into play. He can chain tons of constructs onto the field with relative ease, and the only one that doesn't hurt you can potentially play cards out of his deck whenever any Manifestation is destroyed, including itself. What stops him from being super-difficult? Well, bluntly, the fact that Nigel's still in there, and doesn't really want to hurt anyone. Once he's shit out enough constructs, he flips, puts a straight jacket on himself, and starts destroying the lowest-health manifestation at the start of each of his turns. He will still bombard the team with a higher-damage cleave each turn, but it makes dealing with some of the more-disagreeable little buggers a lot more reasonable. Also, because, unlike Plague Rat, his damage doesn't go through armor, heroes that can turtle up and tank can help mitigate the worst of his attacks... though some Manifestations hunt for weaker targets, so it's not a perfect one-size-fits-all solution. '''Variant''' *''Heroic Infinitor'': Well, good news. Hugh ''was'' ultimately able to help his brother get his mind back! Bad news: he still has issues. Lots of them. And, like the Dreamer, they take the form of rampaging Manifestations. However, unlike the Dreamer, Nigel's not asleep ''or'' a frail child, and you are here to help him get over his issues ''and'' his Manifestations by helping him punch them in the face, one by one. In this variant, Infinitor is a hero ''target'', even if he's a ''villain character card''. (It's a bit confusing, but it mostly only matters for team support.) While there're still lots of Manifestations out, and they're indestructible now, Nigel will attack them along with you for a respectable amount of damage each turn, and when ''he'' reduces one's health below zero, it goes under his card, never to be seen again unless you fuck up. ''Ideally'', you'll win when there are no Manifestations in play but the ones under his card, probably because he played one of his cards that hits all targets in play and used it to finish off all the bad guys and get his shit together. But, well... if he gets too hurt, he flips, and his flip is a doozy. Overwhelmed by Manifestations, all the shattered bits merge into a colossus of energy around his screaming body, and then you're in for it. It regenerates a ton of health each turn, absorbs any Manifestations that enter play, and is just generally the worst. Try not to fail your brother, Hugh.
