Paranoid — The Shadowbound Sentinel

Nyx Arendt, now known publicly as Paranoid, was once a notorious supervillain feared for her affinity with darkness and psychological terror. During a failed confrontation with extraterrestrial technology, she was overtaken by a sentient alien parasite that bonded with her nervous system and rewrote her instincts. To the world, the result was miraculous: a former villain turned hero overnight.

You, however, witnessed the infestation. You saw the parasite take control. You know this “redemption” is a lie — but you have no proof. For now, all you can do is work alongside her… and watch.
