Thomas Calvert was a supervillian operating in Brockton Bay.

Background

Thomas was a part of the PRT's special forces. When the PRT received reports about Nilbog, his team was sent in to deal with the situation. He was one of the only two survivors of the following incident, the other being Emily Piggot.

At some point, Thomas found out about and approached Cauldron before he bought a superpower. It was expensive, forcing him to postpone his plans and spend years gaming the market in order to pay it off.

Personality

[Coming Soon]

Appearance

Thomas is described as an unnaturally thin man. In his civilian identity, he had close cropped, coarse hair, trimmed eyebrows, thin lips and a cleft chin. He wore the body portion of a PRT uniform with an insignia stitched onto his sleeve<ref name="16.10">Monarch 16.10</ref>.

As Coil, he wore a skintight black bodysuit with a stencil<ref name="6.8">Tangle 6.8</ref> of a white snake curling around it, its head on his forehead and its tail at one ankle<ref name="5.1">Hive 5.1</ref><ref name="I8"/>. A zipper was hidden in the snake, at his ankle. The fabric of the costume allowed him to see and breathe through it, but was an opaque black-gray to outside observers in all but the brightest light<ref name="I8">Interlude 8 - Coil</ref>.

Abilities and Powers

Coil is arguably one of the most powerful supervillains in Brockton Bay. In addition to his power, he employs a variety of supervillian teams and independent supervillains; the Undersiders, the Travelers, Uber and Leet, Circus, Chariot, Trainwreck, and could hire Faultline's Crew as needed. He is also the head of a large mercenary force that he outfits with top-of-the-line gear.

Coil's power appears to grant him the ability to split the world into two timelines and then collapse the timeline he likes less whenever he wants. In truth his power allows him to simulate both timelines until he dies in one of the simulations or he chooses to end one of them.

This power allows Coil to attempt different courses of action regarding a situation and then pick the timeline he wants to keep while retaining all knowledge from the other timeline.
