aNGAR THE sCREAMER
REAL
NAME: David Alan Angar OCCUPATION: Former activist, now criminal for hire LEGAL STATUS: United States citizen with a criminal record IDENTITY: Publicly known PLACE OF BIRTH: San Francisco, California MARITAL STATUS: Single KNOWN RELATIVES: None GROUP AFFILIATION: None BASE OF OPERATION: San Francisco FIRST APPEARANCE: Daredevil #100
HISTORY: David Angar, a radical social activist, volunteered
to undergo an experiment to confer upon him superhuman powers. Subjected to
technology brought to Earth from Titan by the priestess Moondragon, Angar acquired
unusual vocal powers. While Moondragon hoped to create more allies against the
mad Titan Thanos, her erstwhile partner, Kerwin J. Broderick, employed Angar
as a special operative for his own criminal enterprise. Angar's first assignment
was to destroy Daredevil and the Black Widow, but Daredevil talked him out of
becoming a murderer. Since then, Angar has used his power for personal gain,
and his schemes have brought him in conflict with Iron Fist and the original
Spider-Woman, among others.
HEIGHT: 5 ft. 10 ft. WEIGHT: 155 lbs. EYES: Brown HAIR: Brown
STRENGTH LEVEL: Angar possesses the normal human strength
of a man of his age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise.
KNOWN SUPERHUMAN POWERS: Angar possesses the ability to vocally
emit piercing screams that can create convincing, seemingly tangible hallucinations
in anyone who hears his voice. His screams sonically stimulate the chemicals
of the brain, creating natural toxins that induce hallucinations. Angar cannot
control the specific content of his victim's hallucinations. Instead they are
products of the victim's own subconscious. His power does tend to induce psychotic
and nightmarish fantasies, however.
Angar's scream will affect anyone within the sound of his voice to some degree.
The closer one is to the source, the longer one will hallucinated. Recovery
time for the average human being standing 50 feet from his scream is approximately
one hour. Recovery time for an average human being at three feet from him is
approximately twelve hours. Angar is able to scream at an amplituded of 180
deciBels (in the gigacicle range). The audible portion of his scream , which
is only a harmonic of the full range of sound produced, is around 138 dB. He
can cause permanent hearing damage to those standing too close to him.
Angar is immune to the toxic effects of his own powers. His vocal cords have
more stamina that those of normal humans, enabling him to scream at maximum
power for over an hour, pausing only for breath.
A side effect of his power is that very few people can remember
that he was hearby when their hallucinations began. How this
sejective amnesia effect work is not yet known.
