Blackthorn is another Villain in the Shadow Axis ranks, but one who secretly serves a twisted and dangerous agenda rather than simply the accumulation of wealth and power.
Blackthorn will be joining Big Brain and other as Villains available in the Supers Unlimited launch later this year.

Mayhem (Season 1)
Mayhem adds muscle to the the Villain side in the Supers Unlimited Season 1 launch!
The men known to wrestling fans as Mayhem and Alpha Male were both past their prime. Discarded by the big promotions, they decided to form their own promotion based in Empire City. the pair called in every favour they could, investing every last dime they had, but they still knew it would be a risk. Finally came launch night and they had a packed house and local TV coverage. The final match on the card would be Mayhem versus Alpha Male, and all was going as planned. The two made their flamboyant entrances to the ring, ready to rumble.
And then their plans crumbled as Scion, the World’s Mightiest Man crashed through the auditorium roof while in combat with Battle-Engine. A stunned silence settled before the audience fled leaving only the two wrestlers, Scion and his foe, while an abandoned camera was still running. As Scion forcefully deactivated Battle-Engine, an enraged Mayhem cursed the hero, his fury captured by still-transmitting cameras. His big comeback, and his final shot was ruined by a glory-hunting hero. Without responding, Scion leapt through the gaping hole in the roof into the night sky.
In the following days, the impact of the disastrous comeback was revealed in crippling financial and public relations problems. Mayhem's verbal meltdown had turned the public and potential backers against him and his partner. The two wrestlers were at their lowest ebb when a man named Guile introduced himself as the avatar of a trickster god. He offered the two doubters a simple bargain - he would give them tremendous power, allowing them revenge on Scion, with the only price that they play the part of super human criminals as an extension of their ring personas, and that a great favour would be called in one day which neither could refuse. Mayhem accepted without a second thought, and Alpha Male soon agreed. Both were soon infused with unimaginable might. They unleashed a crime spree which led to many conflicts with Scion and other heroes. With each escape, Mayhem has begun to question why he was chosen by Guile, and what deed he will have to perform, but until then he enjoys his new life as a super-villain, playing his role to the hilt.

Blackthorn (Season 1)
Blackthorn will join the Villain ranks for Supers Unlimited in Season, unleashing his plant control powers to Shadow Axis' capabilities!
Walton 'Walt' Thorn was a scientist noted for his radical ideas on human-plant hybridisation as the means to cure illness. What few knew was the drive behind his zeal was a degenerative illness that he himself suffered. His peers rejected his ideas and mocked him in scientific journals and at conferences. With each attack, Walt's anger and bitterness grew at the fruitlessness of his experimentation. Desperate, Walt had exhausted every lead and strand of research, until a conversation with a mysterious woman who called herself Gail Land.
Ms. Land supplied Walt with maps leading to an uncharted area of rain-forest. Gathering a small crew and a portable laboratory, Walt set off. En route he witnessed first-hand the destruction of vast tracts of flora to meet the voracious demands of man, and his rage built further each day. At last his party reached its destination, and Walt found a flowering tree unlike any known to mankind. he had his prize. He quickly measured the properties of the tree and its bizarre blossom, and was certain he had found what he was looking for.
Walt's team quickly realized what he was planning to do and pleaded with him to stop, but his course was set. Injecting himself with a hastily-made formula Walt felt pain unlike any he had experienced before. As that passed he felt stronger than ever. His body quickly began to metamorphose into something part-human and part-plant. His rage coalesced into clear thought, and he lashed out at his companions, determined to silence them permanently should they reveal his secret. On that day Walt died, recreated as Blackthorn. Since then he has aligned with the Shadow Axis, hiding his secret agenda to create a green world where humankind is secondary to a new life-form, his future race of human-plant hybrids.
