Maggot

Seventeen-year old Dupree is the unofficial leader of the Youth Ward. Kicked out of his home for being a mutant, Dupree survived on the streets using his illusion-manipulating abilities to commit petty crimes. He later found a temporary home with a teen gang of wannabe super-villains called The Outlaw Posse, and earned the name Maggot, as defined as “a fantastic or eccentric idea.” The Outlaw Posse collided repeatedly with young local heroes, and Maggot quickly rose through the ranks to eventually strong-arm team leader Erik Abraham, AKA Washout, from his position. The Outlaw Posse turned violent under Maggot’s direction, leaving two victims dead and more injured during their crime sprees.
Washout, often the group’s conscience, turned to a team of heroes for help, and agreed to lure The Outlaw Posse into an ambush. Of the five captured, Maggot was the only one tried as an adult, though the federal judge eventually agreed incarceration at Lockdown's Youth Ward was the best option. Since then, Maggot has been in Buckner Ridge, gaining a following among the younger supers who idolize him for actually having street cred. With Maggot’s 18th birthday coming soon, however, Warden Creed is eager to resettle him in gen-pop where the older villains should knock him down a few notches.
Maggot likes being top dog, and while he has the right to boast as a young tough, it is hard to determine where the bravado ends and the bluster begins. When Maggot speaks, he holds court; when he walks, he swaggers; when he hangs out, he poses; when he argues, he insults. Most adults don’t buy the act, however, and aren’t impressed by the young man, but he’s all that and a bag of chips to his peers. Unfortunately, no kid is strong enough to take Maggot in a fight, which further enhances his inflated ego and sense of self-importance. When someone does take him down a notch or two, however, Maggot won’t crumble easily. And he’ll come back twice as fast and hard.
