An Ultimate Universe villain, Mister Nerve has one special power - to induce uncontrallable rage in others through thought waves. Visual contact is needed and the proximity to the target determines the extent of the rage.

This is quite useful in causing mass panic and chaos as crowds tear each other apart, as Mister Nerve swoops in to collect whatever he needs. Though not physically imposing Mister Nerve can easily make groups of enemies fall on each other, using the opportunity to run away.

Mister Nerve prefers to operate from afar, wary that anger he induced could be directed at him. So he dons a helmet capable of amplifying the power of his thought waves.

Recognizing his vulnerability in one-on-one engagements with most super heroes, he has begun a 'Berserker' programme, hiring henchmen and turning them into savage beasts full of bloodlust.

His power made him an outcast, as in his youth he could not yet hone his rage inducement. He turned to a life of crime for sustenance, now thoroughly brutalized Mister Nerve has higher ambitions. He has developed a taste for theft of works of art, stowing them away to his personal gallery in his hideout.

Strengths & Weaknesses
Mr. Nerve can induce rage. This anger has ten stages, ranging from mundane irritation (i.e. missing a bus) to completely breaking a mind to the point where even scavenging beasts are more civil.

This can be of great use in manipulating others, breaking up groups and crowds and provide distractions. Nerve is also decent with weaponry and has been looking up on little torture tricks.

However in direct one-on-one confrontations with supers his lack of super-strength can show. To counter this he often tries escaping using various distractions. Nerve is also directed by greed, making his targets at times predictable.

Ultimate History
Nerve successfully robbed the Eagleopolis Museum, pursued by Zealot and Signal. As he escaped into the sewers, Signal followed suit, to be joined by Gravity Lad and Accident Boy. Gravity Lad was subjected to anger, making him turn on Signal, who in turn lit up a fire that caused an explosion that allowed Nerve to escape.

Nerve drove away from Eaglopolis to Sustan, where he proceeded to get through the cordon and again, loot the Museum. From there on, he hired some henchmen and bought a customized amphibious transport and moved to Orchid Island...
