Personality

A sadist and misogynist, utterly despicable, was able to bully people into following him. Utterly caustic personality wise.<ref name="playtest"/> Taylor noted that he was "barely above dirt", and had horribly mutilated those who offended him in impulsive rage. He described himself as an "asshole".<ref name="30.2"/>

He was a cellblock leader in the Birdcage by dint of his personality and powers. <ref name="I16x">Interlude 16x (Donation Bonus)</ref><ref name="30.2"/>

His combat style was described as a "flailing, reckless, hurried scramble". He danced from foot to foot before attacking. He showed no fear, laughing before the battle.<ref name="30.2"/>

Abilities and Powers

Acidbath is resistant to his own acid and burns in general, though this effect does not extend to his clothes.<ref name="playtest"/>

He could enhance his punches by transforming his fists into acid at the point of impact and create a weak spray while in human form.<ref name="playtest">Playtest Capes</ref>

History

Background

He horrifically scarred his brother, girls who rejected him,<ref name="30.2"/> girlfriends,<ref name="30.2"/><ref name="27.3"/> and "innumerable" opponents using his power. He had killed both police and capes.<ref name="27.3">Extinction 27.3</ref> Weaver described him as "a bit player in the real world, caught up in his vices" before being sentenced to the Birdcage.<ref name="30.2"/>

He managed to take over and rule a cell block for three years.<ref name="30.2">Speck 30.2</ref>

Gold Morning

Was released to fight Zion.<ref name="27.3"/> After his release, he chose to sunbathe rather than prepare for the fight.<ref>Extinction 27.4</ref> while happy to do it he was still avoided by his peers as his personality had not changed while in prison.^{[citation needed]}

At some point, he fell under Khepri's control. Even though he was a monster, she chose to sacrifice an injured shapeshifter in his place because it was more efficient.<ref>Was I going to be moral, or efficient?

Two capes fell in my awareness. Acidbath was one. Another was a talented shapeshifter who was in bad shape beneath their moldable skin.

Shapeshifter, I made the call.

One expendable asset. At my bidding, he strode forward through the portal.

[...]

The portals around Scion slammed shut, and he disappeared from my mind’s eye.

It left the shapeshifter locked in the same world as Scion. - Speck 30.5</ref>
