Vandal Savage

Voiced By: Clancy Brown

Classification: Power Character

Biography: Vandal Savage has, for thousands of years, plagued the earth with crime and violence since before the beginning of recorded human history. As a caveman during the Prehistoric Era, he was exposed to a meteorite that enhanced his physiology along with his strength, stamina, and speed.

Intro: A group of three Regime soldiers lead Savage to the arena, who looks to be under arrest, but then Savage breaks his bonds, killing the soldiers and takes one of the guard's handguns, saying to the opponent "Now... Shall we begin?...", ready to fight.

Post-Round Taunt: Simply cracks his neck a bit, taking a step back, saying "Pitiful..." or gives a small, but evil laugh...

Outro: Savage says "Evolution has not been kind to you..." as he puts his foot on the dazed opponent's neck, then he raises his foot up before slamming it down, but cuts to Savage shown from the waist up, grinning evily as we hear bone and flesh being smashed, before saying "But it has been kind to me...".

Special Moves:

Savage Spear: Savage charges at the opponent, spearing them to the ground. (Meter Burn: After tackling the opponent, he grabs them by the neck and throws them into the air, open for a free hit or combo.)
Handgun: Savage fires two shots from his handgun. (Meter Burn: Savage three extra shots.)
Hammer Blow: Savage does a brutal hammer strike with his fists, driving the opponent to ground. (Meter Burst: Instead of hitting the opponent to the ground, Savage puts the opponent on their knees before doing a running sitdown powerbomb to them.)
Years Of Practice: Savage puts his arms up a bit. If he is hit with a High or medium attack, he'll parry the move before throat punching the opponent, kneeing them in the stomach and throwing them over his shoulder.
Ragdoll: Savage grabs the opponent by the leg and starts slams them on the ground two times. (Meter Burn: After the two slams, he throws the opponent in the air, making them open for a free hit or a combo.)
Stranglehold: Savage grabs the opponent by the neck, shaking them around hard before dropping them to the ground.

Throw:
Forward: Slams the butt of his handgun three times into the opponent's face before shooting their kneecap, then kicks them away from him.
Back: Slams the butt of his handgun three times into the opponent's face before shooting their kneecap, then gets behind them and pistol whips the back of their head to the ground.

Character Trait:
Perks of Immortality: Savage puts his arms out, giving a bit of a roar as he heals up, regenerating health. The longer the button is held, the more health Savage regenerates.

Super Move:
Savage Beatdown: Savage charges at the opponent, grabbing them by the head. If it connects, he'll start slowly crushing their head before dropping them with a brutal chokeslam, smashing them into ground, then he starts savagely beating their face with his fists mutliple times before stepping hard on their head, kicking them away, saying "Pathetic trash!"

Ending: Forced into a dark hole, under constant watch, Vandal Savage had been forced to Stryker's Island due to the Regime's failed attempts of killing him. Savage wasn't bothered, simply waiting for the right moment to escape. It came after the Insurgency attacked the island to save the other universe's Batman. Freed, he went and killed those behind his imprisonment before putting in his new world order...

Trivia:
- Clancy Brown has voiced Lex Luthor in most cartoon appearances of the character along with voicing Mr. Krabs in "Spongebob Squarepants" and playing the Hrugan in "Highlander"
- Vandal Savage's backstory and appearance here is influenced mostly from The New 52 "DC Universe Presents" serial killer version of him. Basically think him wearing Superman's Lockdown costume, but more suited for him, with his name on it and such.
- While only having one projectle attack, Vandal Savage is primarily a close-range fighter.
