Mad Scientist! With combat abilities and mysterious sources of money of course. I don't know how hard you want to keep the science, but I'd get a kick out of playing a guy who's either good at mind control tech or good at making machines. That may be a little hard on the GM though.

A shapechanger. Catch me if you can. Oh, and which seagull am I? nana nana na-na! Good acting skills, better contacts, dedicated thief, assassin, beguiler, and conspirator. May be too low power for this game.

Warp Specialist. Blatant night crawler ripoff. Still would be fun to play, especially when the game is hide and seek.

A Death. One of the Heroes has cheated death himself, and done so one too many times. Death himself has assigned one of the spirits usually assigned to collect souls for the afterlife to find this hero and bring him in. Insubstantial, fast traveling, and good if specific detection abilities and virtually unkillable. And utterly obsessed with finding and bringing in his victim. May break some of the rules listed above, but we can check on that.

A Mad Scientist with mind control tech should probably buy that as the Mind Control advantage with gadget limitations. The middle two ideas sound fine (first could be powered up in various ways). With the last one, I think the key thing would be that there would have to be a reason why this is not an easy task for the Death.

"I'm sure you're wondering what this is and why I've gone to all this trouble to contact you. The fact of the matter is that the so-called "heroes" of the world present a unified front with public support. They have the governments of the world in their pockets. No matter what we do and no matter our intentions, we are always considered the villains, and no matter what they do or their intentions, they are the heroes. We are but players in a great drama shown on screens across the world, the mindless evil to provide contrast to their unwavering good. We are painted as the enemy in order to distract the public from the Great Crimes, and treated as a threat to keep them in their unwitting slavery. No longer must this be the case, though. Join with me that together we may fight against the tyranny of our oppressors!"
A pause. The screen flickers.
"Consider my words carefully. I will be in touch."

Concept: the epitome of the criminal mastermind, this villain operates through intelligence, charisma, and The Superpower of Money. His goal is to unite the villains to overthrow the established order - the one that ostracized him just to reinforce their own status. If there's a mad scientist or gadgeteer, I can tone down the invention/equipment side of things as necessary.

Ok. The more I've thought about it, the more I like the idea of playing a death dead set on bringing in one of the most beloved, powerful, and well-connected heroes. I don't know how much world building you want us to bring into your world when designing characters, but the target should be extremely hard to kill in the first place, and have multiple ways to independently return to life.

The hero first has to be re-killed, which is no small task, as the guy is any of bullet proof, extremely fast, heals quickly, and probably at least two of those. He is likely to pack a nasty punch as well.

Then his soul has to be collected before his well connected friends can summon him back into his body: and killing those friends is just as in-feasible and will result in them being brought back to life.

This Hero additionally has a soul that can fight back... The death will have to subdue it before he can bring in his target.

I also think you could make a case for "temporary disadvantage picked by gamemaster" being more than that... maybe twice the point value?... especially if you're counting on me to be mean about it. But I'd have to think about that one, maybe get some input from other people on the board.

I think the "only when unkilled" bit is for when his unkillable is not triggered, it does not aid unkillable. I tihnk.
