Ku Tu the Eternal

Ku Tu is an immortal alien whose cosmic power sustains his mummified form. He possesses superhuman strength, durability, and intellect. In addition, he possesses a number of cosmic powers including: energy projection, the ability to open teleportation portals using reflective surfaces as anchor points, and the power to transform others into alien “jaguar men” compelled to serve him. Ku Tu’s mastery of alien technology and science also aid him in his plans for conquest.

Ku Tu is arrogant, megalomaniacal, and full of hubris. He feels he is a superior life form to any other. He is fond of grand speeches lauding this superiority and promising how one day humanity will become the slave-race whose labors will help create his new empire. Ku Tu enjoyed being treated as a living god and after surviving centuries of imprisonment and emerging more powerful than ever, he believes he’s ascended to true godhood.

Followers of Ku Tu

Ku Tu’s cosmic powers and mastery of alien science allow him access to a variety of odd servants. Chief among these are his jaguar men and stone heads. The jaguar men are Ku Tu’s foot soldiers, advance guard, and stealthy infiltrators. The Stone Heads are used as shock troops and for retrieval and capture.   Ku Tu is brilliant, but his arrogance tends to mean he uses his minions with a certain lack of subtlety and concern for their well-being. He is more likely to give them a general command and expect his foes to be unable to deal with the might of his forces.  

Jaguar Men

Ku Tu’s Jaguar Men are created using his cosmic powers to transform normal people into alien-human hybrids who strongly resemble a sort of were-jaguar. The transformation includes a conditioning process that makes the subject loyal to Ku Tu. Ku Tu can reverse this process and return his followers to normal humans, but he rarely does so. In ancient times, Ku Tu had to use a lengthy process and complex machinery to create these soldiers. Now he can manipulate human genetic material directly to achieve the same effect.   The Jaguar Men are stealthy, fast, and potent close fighters. They aren’t particularly bright though they work very well together, often using Teamwork and sneak attacks to bring down powerful foes on their master’s behalf.  

Stone Heads

Ku Tu’s Stone Heads are advanced alien technology that resemble the stone head idols of the ancient Olmecs. These constructs can fly, have a tractor beam, and can shoot deadly lasers from their eyes. Their artificial intelligence is fairly limited, but they are well suited to their role as hunter-killers and war machines.   The Flying Stone Heads prefer to stay far away from opponents, keeping airborne and attacking with their lasers. They often employ strafing runs. When called upon to steal, capture, or retrieve something they strike with their Tractor Beams alone or in groups and attempt to flee quickly.   Ku Tu relies on his minions to assist him. He would work with other villains if necessary, but only as underlings and servants.   Ku Tu has no particular enemies still living, though heroes or mystics with ties to the Olmecs might know his story and be exceptionally keen on stopping him from rising to power once more. Heroes who repeatedly foil Ku Tu’s plans of conquest will no doubt earn his enmity.
