Teabagger
From Encyclopedia Superheroica -the Encyclopedia of Superheroes
The Teabagger (a.k.a. "Little Bobby Tables") is yet another pleasantly villainous character. Once he was just a mild-mannered database administrator with dubious keyboard skills. There was, however, an "incident". He's since been driven mad and is now on a mission to bring superheroes to their knees.

Biography
Little is known about his life before supervillainy -other than that he was raised in the jungles of Bangladesh.
Initially a consultant with megacorporation DotCom, he seemed like just another happy I.T. drone. He was hiding a terrible secret. Eventually, of course, his secret got out and his true nature revealed. Then his girlfriend left him, he lost his job, and was forced to sell his downtown loft.
He fled to Boston. Ultimately he came to embrace the culture of rebellion there. Having had plenty of time in isolation, he'd mulled over his options and decided upon the most evil. He was reborn as... the Teabagger! And he's pledged, in the best anarchic tradition, to subvert law and order wherever he finds it.
Powers and Abilities
The Teabagger deals primarily in deception. He fosters fallacies. He is a master of bait and switch. He discovers a sensitive vulnerability, pretends to nurture it, and then he delivers a crippling blow to the ego.
He also has a line of custom-blended teas with an alchemy of toxins, hallucinagens, and mutagens. Delivery is usually accomplished by dipping his infuser in someone else's beverage when they least expect it.
Weapons & Armor
The Teabagger prefers ninjastyle to samuraistayle and so does not wear armor as he is rarely face-to-face with his victims. He is known though to swing a powerful weapon of his own: The TeaBanger! This medieval-inspired flail is made of stainless steel -brushed dull for a stealthier profile. The Teabagger has ambushed many an opponent by bashing them in the gob using these balls of steel.
