Editing Acidbath (section)

==History==
===Background===
Acidbath was a dangerous [[parahuman]], a killer of both cops and capes,<ref name="description"/> who used his acid powers to horrifically scar not just opponents,<ref name="description"/> but girlfriends and girls who rejected him.<ref name="brother"/> Even his own brother was not safe from Acidbath's impulsive acts of retaliation.<ref name="brother">I’d compared myself to some pretty horrible individuals in the past, but Acidbath was something else.  He was ''low'', barely above dirt.  He’d scalded his own brother with acid, and had gone after girlfriends and girls who had rejected him.  The attacks hadn’t been lethal, but had melted flesh and the fat or muscular tissues beneath.  I’d seen the pictures of the aftermath when I’d browsed his files, after the scar tissue had formed.<br/><br/>I couldn’t think of worse ways to hurt someone, and he’d done it in impulsive acts of retaliation.<br/><br/>If I was going to be a monster, I’d at least try to be smart about it, constructive.  To have a plan. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/speck-30-2/ Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.2]]</ref> He was one of the rare few who was sent to [[the Birdcage]] purely by dint of how despicable he was.<ref>'''Acidbath'''<br/>''One of the rare few who got sent to the Birdcage purely by dint of how despicable he was, using acid powers to permanently scar the faces of girlfriends and adversaries alike.'' - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hxYrt2d6b_LAaMPphcZEzwAruiSHQaiaBa3x2WMsGvA/edit# Playtest Capes], document by Wildbow.</ref> He managed to become a cell block leader and keep the position for three years.<ref name="laughter"/>

===[[Gold Morning]]===
During [[Scion]]'s rampage, Acidbath is released from [[the Birdcage]], to the great upset of one member of the audience present.<ref name="description">Acidbath.  Copkiller and capekiller, he’d used his power to horrifically scar innumerable opponents and girlfriends.  His blond hair wasn’t the grass-green of his mugshots anymore, and he had circles under his eyes.  He took one step away from the portal, then sat on the ledge in front of the crowd, searching for something, then settling into a stare when he found it.<br/><br/>I looked, and I saw a man, not in costume but in a suit, standing and staring at Acidbath, with an expression as though he was going to cry at any moment.  But he didn’t avert his eyes. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/20/extinction-27-3/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.3]]</ref> Rather than prepare for a confrontation with Scion, Acidbath decides to enjoy the sun.<ref>Acidbath had stayed, rather than leave to go get a costume, and was splayed out on the rock of the cliff face, his shirt off and laid out beneath him.  Soaking up the rays, insofar as they was any sun to be had. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/extinction-27-4/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.4]]</ref>

Acidbath is next seen during the rise of [[Khepri]], during the last battle with Scion. He laughs at Taylor controlling other capes while [[Chevalier]] battles Scion,<ref name="laughter">Laughter disturbed me from my thoughts.<br/><br/>“Human shields?”  A man asked, almost unintelligible with his coarse accent.  “I love it!  I was ganna shoot the bloody idjits in the backs, you’re ‘lowed to do that, ‘miright?  But some cunt might get the wrong idea.”<br/><br/>When I turned my head, all but one my minions turned their heads as well.  My fault.  I’d wanted the extra sensory input, and I’d instinctually tried to take it in with a share of my ‘swarm’.<br/><br/>It was Acidbath.  One of the Birdcage’s cell block leaders.  He had the stylings of a rock musician or punk rocker who’d spent a little too much time doing drugs and not enough time playing his instrument.  Worn around the edges, a little too full of himself.  He’d been a bit player in the real world, caught up in his vices, yet had managed to take over and rule a cell block for three years after being sent to the Birdcage.<br/><br/>He was still smirking, laughing a little, as he looked between me and Scion’s ongoing fight with Chevalier.  He danced a little from foot to foot, tensing just a bit every time Scion moved.  Not out of fear.<br/><br/>“''This'' is better,” he said.  “They wanna run and leave us assholes to do the fighting, you can say otherwise.  Pin ’em up and let Scion knock ’em down.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/speck-30-2/ Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.2]]</ref> taking over when Chevalier is defeated.<ref name="tidal wave"/> He later coordinates his attacks with [[Black Kaze]].<ref name="teamwork">Black Kaze alternated attacks with Acidbath, very proper, measured in her movements, compared to Acidbath’s flailing, reckless, hurried scramble to keep out of Scion’s line of sight.  Acidbath moved with surprising quickness, faster than a typical car might.  A peculiarity of his breaker power. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/speck-30-2/ Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.2]]</ref> Ironically, he eventually falls under Taylor's control.<ref>Was I going to be moral, or efficient?<br/><br/>Two capes fell in my awareness.  Acidbath was one.  Another was a talented shapeshifter who was in bad shape beneath their moldable skin.<br/><br/>''Shapeshifter'', I made the call.<br/><br/>One expendable asset.  At my bidding, he strode forward through the portal.  The clairvoyant retrieved a tinker device and dropped it through a portal.  The shapeshifter caught it. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/24/speck-30-5/ Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.5]]</ref>

Was reportedly dead,<ref name="II10.y">Chris snorted.  “Whatever.  Tom Moss?  Dead.  They didn’t put much effort into investigating that one.  [[Galvanate|Ricario D’Alleva]], imprisoned.  [[Black Kaze|Akemi whatshername]]?  Imprisoned.”<br/><br/>“She seems reasonably free and happy by all reports I’ve seen.”<br/><br/>“Led around like a dog, watched constantly.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/12/11 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 10.y II]]</ref> there was much rejoicing.
