  DOCTOR TECTONIC
  REAL NAME: Dr. Montgomery Horowitz
  OCCUPATION: Full-time supervillain, formerly seismologist
  BASE: A secret laboratory in the Atlas Mountains 
  Doctor Montgomery Horowitz was once a respected seis-
  mologist, concerned with predicting and defending against 
  tectonic disasters. He designed a suit of armor to act as a 
  personal deep-burrowing device. The armor was designed 
  to protect him from extreme heat, pressure, and anything 
  else the lower crust could throw at him. He also equipped it 
  with swarms of nanobots that can control massive amounts 
  of earth and stone, eliminating the need for assistants (or 
  additional suits of the expensive armor) in the field. 
  Dr. Horowitz tested his invention by burrowing deep 
  into the San Andreas Fault to conduct tests. Catastrophe 
  struck as a strange radiation interfered with his nano-
  bots and caused them to malfunction. The swarm of tiny 
  machines returned to Dr. Horowitz’s suit and burrowed 
  into him, fusing with his body and brain. The nanobots 
  twisted his mind and he began to believe organic life 
  was a plague upon the 
  Earth. His damaged mind 
  “told” him that organic 
  life, especially human 
  life, was a defect in the 
  natural order of things, 
  and that he needed to 
  do something about it. 
  Dr. Horowtiz abandoned 
  his seismologist position 
  and fled north to the Atlas 
  Mountains. Using the nano-
  bots he cleared out an un-
  derground laboratory and 
  modified his suit for destruc-
  tive purposes. He has since 
  taken the name Doctor Tectonic 
  and vowed to correct the “mistake” that is 
  organic life. He knows someday he will 
  achieve his goal of turning Earth into 
  a perfect, quiet hunk of rock drift-
  ing in space.
  PERSONALITY
  Doctor Tectonic is an un-
  stable individual with 
  a 
  damaged 
  brain 
  full of malfunction-
  ing robots. He con-
  tinuously mutters to 
  himself, holding con-
  versations with the other voices 
  in his head. He does not enjoy 
  the company of other organic 
  creatures and tends to keep to 
  himself, when he’s not trying to 
  destroy life on Earth.
  POWERS & ABILITIES
  Doctor Tectonic is a force of nature 
  on the battlefield, combining geoki-
  nesis and technology into an unstoppable 
  force. He can manipulate the earth beneath his 
  enemies to create autonomous golems, trigger 
  massive earthquakes, and shield himself from 
  harm. He wields a modified excavation energy lance

  COMPLICATIONS
  Competing Voices: Doctor Tectonic isn’t alone in his suit. The 
  nanites he uses for his geokinesis have been corrupted and 
  fused with his mind, so the good doctor sometimes suffers 
  from massive migraines and auditory hallucinations.
  Motivation—Misguided: The nanites have twisted and 
  confused Doctor Tectonic so he thinks life is a cosmic mistake 
  and he needs to rid the Earth of its organic parasites.
  There is something perfect in the silence of stone. Stone only speaks when it acts, grinding against 
  itself to create a more perfect shape. Organic life is so noisy. They run around, laugh, and cry 
  simply for the sake of making noise. That is what infuriates me most about these imperfect life-
  forms. They don’t realize that they are merely arrogant carbon, screaming out into a universe 
  whose only answer is silence. Through their extinction, I will bring peace … and quiet to this world.
  —MontgoMery Horowitz
  POTENTIAL NEMESES  
  Doctor Tectonic functions as an excellent villain for heroes that consider themselves to be nature’s protectors. He is a 
  walking cautionary tale for what happens when eco-friendly philosophies are taken to the extreme. He could also make a 
  good recurring villain for construct/robotic heroes, especially if they’re made of stone. Perhaps the good doctor believes 
  the hero could be converted to his side with the proper persuasion … or tampering.

  in melee combat to devastating effect and relies on his 
  advanced battlesuit to augment his strength and de-
  fenses. Note that while Doctor Tectonic hates organic 
  life, he’s still a normal human, so he requires sustenance, 
  which forces him out of his armor regularly to maintain 
  his health.
  ALLIES
  Doctor Tectonic usually works alone, relying on his golems 
  for assistance. He refuses to work with organic super 
  criminals on principle, but he isn’t opposed to the idea of 
  working alongside a like-minded mechanical comrade. 
  ENEMIES
  Doctor Tectonic targets urban centers in geologically un-
  stable areas hoping to cause as much damage as possible. 
  This has made him very unpopular with super heroes and 
  super villains alike, and he has no shortage of enemies to 
  choose from.
   HOOKS
  Underworld: The heroes receive a message from the Seis-
  mological Society of America. The scientists there have 
  been picking up some weird signals on their equipment 
  and believe Doctor Tectonic is making a move for the San 
  Andreas Fault. The good doctor is trying to return to the 
  fault line and trigger an earthquake that could wipe out 
  the West Coast. The SSA volunteers their newest Deep 
  Earth Pod prototype to assist the heroes, but it hasn’t 
  been field tested yet. The heroes have to brave the intense 
  heat and pressure in the experimental pod while battling 
  Doctor Tectonic and his army of Stone Golems.
  Stone City: A large earthquake rumbles through Emerald 
  City. Buildings crumble and streets buckle as the ground 
  shakes. Citizens, left without power and shelter, descend 
  into chaos. First responders are stretched thin and hope 
  seems lost. Whole city blocks have fallen into subterra-
  nean caverns, or have been severely damage. It falls to 
  the heroes to aid in the rescue efforts while investigating 
  the cause of the calamity. They find a clue at the epicenter 
  that leads them to Doctor Tectonic’s lair in the Atlas Moun-
  tains. The only issue is Doctor Tectonic claims he wasn’t 
  responsible and that another super villain set him up. 
  STONE GOLEMS
  This stat block represents a typical golem created by 
  Doctor Tectonic to assist him in combat. They’re carved 
  into a roughly human shape, but their stone bodies are 
  large and heavy. In combat they rely on their strength and 
  mass to overwhelm and separate the heroes from Doctor 
  Tectonic.

  take one extra degree of damage from sonic attacks when they 
  fail a Toughness save against them.
