Butcher is the chosen name for a possessive entity which acts as the leader of The Teeth, a parahuman gang originating in Brockton Bay with cells in New York and Boston. As of the end of Worm, there have been 15 people with the Butcher title.

Powers and Abilities

Butcher Prime was the original leader of The Teeth, then a gang in Brockton Bay. Among his powers were increased strength and durability, an ranged cardic arrest and the ability to transfer a watered-down version of his power to his killer.

A succession of 14 different parahumans added their own abilities and minds to the set. In addition to granting more powers, the Butchers' minds would drive anyone insane who did not align with The Teeth (such as Butcher III, who was driven mad for being a hero).

The current Butcher, Cherish has access to the following powers:

• Cause excruciating pain at range (I)
• Increased durability (I)
• Always hits with ranged attack as long as the target is within range (XIV)
• Can cause mindless rage at short range (IX)
• Can reshape unrefined matter into objects (VIII)
• Can cause festering wounds (IV)
• Has a short-range danger sense against physical attacks (III)
• Superhuman strength (I, III, VI, IX, XI, XIII)
• Short-ranged explosive teleport (VI)
• Can see hearts, veins and arteries, even through walls (II)
• Is unable of feeling pain, possesses tough skin (XII)
• Can cause suicidal despair at range (XV)

Butcher 14

A tall, elegant, woman, with a long neck and long limbs. Her costume has an Asian feel to it, and is trimmed with razor-sharp blades. Her costume is also busy, displaying elements of samurai, headhunter, and bloddletter, but not neccesarily elements that portray her as "Butcher." Her attacks bend space to create perfect accuracy, never missing a targer within range. Among her weapons is a massive bow, requiring her inherited super-strenght to draw. Killed by Cherish in a fight against the Undersiders.

Butcher 15 (Current Butcher)

Cherish. Inflicts suicidal despair at range. Upon becoming Butcher, Tattletail hired workers to move Cherish's pod from the waters near Brockton Bay to a more remote location. Tattletale speculates that Butcher 15 will only get a chance to kill fish, and that maybe Leviathan will pass by, killing her.
