Supervillain: Sergeant Orc
Sergeant Orc has arrived in the city to commit crimes! Back in World War II, Sergeant Luca Porchia of the United States Marines was chosen as the subject for an Allied supersoldier program. While the experiment successfully gave Luca super strength and nigh-invulnerability, it also turned him into a hulking, violent, green monster. After he was deemed uncontrollable on the battlefield, Luca (now known as Sergeant Orc) was frozen—against his will—until such time as his condition could be cured. No cure was forthcoming, and after several decades, the quest to help Luca was abandoned and his cryogenic pod was quietly ignored. In 2011, Luca was discovered by Anachronist thieves as they raided his storage facility. Freed, Luca felt betrayed and began to cause destruction with the Anachronists, sometimes selling his services to the highest bidder.

The model is from the Wargames Atlantic Landsknecht Ogres box (making it the fourth I've made from that box), but this does mean that even with the helmet and armor, he still has Landsknecht pants. Thankfully, as I was writing his backstory, I remembered the Anachonists and their love for Landsknecht costumes, so there's some decent reason "in universe" for the fashion choice.
In addition to his modern supervillainy, the Sergeant could also be used in pulp WWII games in a more heroic role.
