Moneysink

Moneysink is one of the most influential and powerful 'political' supervillain in the modern United States, being the active head of the Socialist Party of the United States. He is also a veteran villain that has managed to outthink, escape or defeat many notable heroes in the past.
Despite his political platform being all but outlawed in the aftermath of the First Villain War, Moneysink's political party continues to thrive in the underground, continuing its war against the US Government through a more asymetric means.
Moneysink has all but joined the VIllain Alliance of America. While he's not technically a part of its Board of Executives, he is once again supporting the People's Liberation Front.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Despite his age and the fact that most of his job is done with his mind and words, Moneysink remains a reasonably trained combatant. As a result, his body is healthy and he can defend himself against most non-metahuman attackers even without resorting to his individuality.

Special abilities

His individuality is called Wealth Sacrifice. Moneysink can boost his physical and intellectual capabilities for about five minutes - in exchange for a destruction of something perceived as valuable by the world.
The more valuable the object is, the bigger the five-minute long boost he receives. The size limit of the offering extends all the way up to what cars and other vehicles - if he is attempting to sacrifice a larger object, only a part of it will be sacrificed. He also can't sacrifice living organisms.
How exactly the boost works depends on what was used for the sacrifice. For example, a more 'intellectual' value (works of art, antique books etc.) will provide bigger boost to his mental faculties than physical ones, while the more conventionally valuable objects (jewelery, banknotes, gold bars etc.) will enhance his physical body more.
It is unknown if his boosts have an upper limit. It's entirely possible that sacrificing sufficiently valuable object would make him - temporarily - the strongest or smartest person in the world. Even the relatively moderate value object grant him sizeable boosts, at the cost of being a notable drain on the Socialist Party's finances.

Apparel & Accessories

Due to preferring secrecy to establishing an image, Moneysink is wearing a wide varied of clothes rather than anything resembling a standardized villain uniform. Typically tends to wear slightly less formal suits (or just a shirt from it). It's not uncommon for him to simply put a bulletproof vest over this sort of outfit.

Specialized Equipment

Expect him to carry at least a single thing (if not more than that) that he can use to power up his individuality.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Moneysink was born in a family of mixed ancestry, his family including a number of former Chinese immigrants and Native Americans. He lived in California, the state that despite its defeat during the Third World War remained a bastion of support for modern forms of socialism within the territory of the United States. Moneysink was deeply invested in them from early age, becoming a lower ranking member of the Socialist Party before his individuality manifested.
His hard work continued to drive him higher and higher, until eventually taking over the Party not long before Destro's offer of alliance. With the country seen as declining - but not enough for the Socialist Party to have a shot at overthrowing it on their own - Moneysink accepted the offer and began to divert a significant amount of his Party's resources in to the People's Liberation Front.
Moneysink was defeated and arrested by Valiant in the aftermath of Destro's death, however his followers managed to free him from the prison convoy before reaching its destination. Moneysink decided to lay low from then on, focusing on keeping his Party afloat, until approached by Demagogue and Revenant, who persuaded him to help them in organizing the Liberation Festival attack.

Intellectual Characteristics

Moneysink is an experienced politician and a villainous mastermind, that managed to maintain his organization despite it being outlawed AND defeated during the First Villain War. This alone speaks volumes of his intellect, charisma and experience. He is not to be trifled with, and his individuality is terrifyingly versatile in certain circumstances - which includes the potential to make him smarter for some time.

Morality & Philosophy

Moneysink is, to be exact, less a socialist and more a communist. He is an ardent enemy of the concept of capitalism or even money as a whole (however ironic it is considering the way his individualisty works). He is looking forward to the day the end of them, as he sees that as a necessary prerequisite to the world of true equality - and he is ready to kill a lot of people it will bring that day closer.
He is exerting some genuine effort to help those less fortunate, however ever since the Party was delegalized his ability to do that is severely reduced - and when he does that, it tends to be done in order to garner more sympathy and support to his cause. He is also not against cracking open banks and stealing valuables in order to finance what's left of the Socialist Party.

Personality Characteristics

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Strengths

With valuable enough sacrifice, can combat Top heroes like an equal - or even their superior - for five minutes. Can also boost his mental faculties to equal highest class masterminds. Is also charismatic, with a large experience in the matters of conspiracy and a good organizer and planner even without his individuality.

Weaknesses

You just need to outlast him - his self-buffs don't last him long. As a result, most of battles against him are actually done while Moneysink is actively attempting to disengage before his individuality runs dry. It's what resulted in his defeat against Valiant, whose self-buff simply outlasted him. Worst of all, his individuality requires high value fuel to work, meaning that he can only use it so often.
