Default Re: [Supers] GURPS Unofficial Handbook to the Marvel Universe, Reboot Edition

AGGAMON

Real Name: Aggamon.
Occupation: Dictator, interdimensional gem dealer.
Identity: Aggamon's existence is unknown to the general populace of Earth.
Legal Status: Ruler of the Purple Dimension.
Other Aliases: None.
Place of Birth: Unrevealed.
Marital Status: Single.
Known Relatives: None.
Group Affiliation: Ruler of the Purple Dimension.
Base of Operations: The Purple Dimension.
History: Aggamon's history is unknown. It is known that he rules an extradimensional realm called the Purple Dimension, which is a mystic realm rich in gems, particularly gems in various shades purple. (Whether these gems are chemically similar to similar gems found on Earth – such as amethysts and jasper stones – is currently unknown.) Aggamon – or mages in his employ – is known to occasionally enchant gems to serve as gateways to his dimension, pulling anyone in their vicinity across the dimensions. Aggamon then enslaves these poor souls, sending them into his mines.

One such gem is known to have recently come into the possession of Dr. Stephen Strange, the new Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, although the circumstances of this acquisition are as yet unrevealed (see Doctor Strange). While he was studying the gem's mystic properties, Strange inadvertently triggered its enchantment which drew his fellow mystics Wong and Victoria Bentley into it (see Bentley, Victoria; Wong). To save them from the fate of other luckless visitors, Strange entered the Purple Dimension himself and bargained for their freedom, trading his own freedom for theirs. As soon as Wong and Bentley were returned to Earth, Strange broke free of Aggamon's shackles and dueled the tyrant for hours, pitting Strange's Amulet of Agamotto against Aggamon's gem-enhanced mystic energy rays. Aggamon was forced to break off the combat when faced with the choice between survival or mutually assured destruction. Strange then revealed that he had cast a spell preventing the restoration of Aggamon's energy unless he freed the rest of his slave force, which Aggamon reluctantly did. (Strange was bluffing.)

Aggamon has most recently been seen viewing Earth through a scrying gem for suitable slave labor.
Height: 6' 6".
Weight: 240 lbs.
Eyes: Green
Hair: None.
Skin: Green
Other Distinguishing Features: Aggamon possesses three fingers on each hand (including an opposable thumb). It is unknown if he likewise has three toes on each foot.
Uniform: Two-tone brown short-sleeved tunic with a lighter brown (sometimes red) V from the neck to mid-chest; brown trousers, black boots, purple bracers, black belt.
Strength Level: Aggamon appears to possess strength equal to that of a human man of his height and build who engages in moderate exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: Aggamon is a sorcerer who is skilled at using a number of feats. He has been shown creating mental illusions, opening transdimensional gates, scrying locations on Earth, and creating beams of energy. His magic comes both from his own energy and from the ambient magic of the Purple Dimension. He has not been seen using magic without a gem, so it is possible his magic requires using the gems he has minded as foci.

Aggamon has not been shown calling upon other extradimensional entities for power; he has also not been called upon for power himself by mortal sorcerers.
Paraphernalia: Aggamon has access to a number of magical gems his slaves have mined, most of which have mystic properties and can be used as weapons or foci for casting. Many of the larger gems can be used as traps; at least one is reputed to drain magic from members of the Faltine race.
Servants: The Purple Dimension is patrolled and guarded by an unrevealed number of warriors armed with weapons which can be used as polearms and can fire beams of magical energy. In addition, he rules over thousands if not millions of slaves drawn from Earth and other dimensions.

Role-Playing Notes:
Two words define Aggamon: "greedy" and "cowardly". When faced with the possibility of death or injury, he will always surrender instead of continuing the fight.

Design Notes:
1. The Tech Level of the Purple Dimension, like most of the Far Realms/Netherworlds, is difficult to determine because of their heavy reliance on magic instead of technology. At this time, the general thrust is being considered as TL3+5^, with magic items that do roughly the same thing as modern-day TL8^ technology, diverging from or independently developing a TL3 base without magic. Until further notice, this TL will be considered as the base of the Far Realms/Netherworlds such as the Dark Dimension of Domammu.
2. The Purple Dimension, like most of the Netherworld dimensions (including the Dark Dimension of the dread Dormammu), is a "place of power" where ecocentric magic is easier to perform than on Earth.
