First Appearance

Created by

Vito Delsante

Origin

Xavier Exley is the world’s biggest movie star. A multiple award winner, the most sought after actor in the world, and cover boy of a dozen different magazines a week. He influences studios, heads of state, and millions of fans internationally. If he wanted to, he could probably propagate world peace, but he’s more concerned with world pieces.

However... He's the best looking movie star in history with one (fatal) flaw! Exley’s right hand is, by all appearances, dead, with a sort of necrosis that covers his entire hand. It is also the source of his power. Exley’s touch saps life energy at a slow rate, but if he punches you, he absorbs that energy at a greater rate. Don’t fight the Black Fist; you will die!
