Harry P. Zeitgeist is a man of his time. He enjoys modern art, elegance, and sailing.

Harry did not know about his super powers or super-villainousness until he was approached by Terry Gilliam to play a super-powered villain in a movie. In the film, his character was to attack the heroes by time-traveling into their dreams. The project was eventually abandoned due to the tragic death of one of the protagonists while shooting on the Spanish coast (to this day, Harry denies any involvement in the death--saying that the reports of bad-blood between him and the other actor have largely been exaggerated).

Though the movie was a tragic failure, it proved to be a turning point in Harry's life. He discovered that, while he was not able to time-travel into people's dreams, he was extraordinarily talented at crime. For several years he worked in the service of a number of super-villains. His work mostly involved kidnappings, heists, and coups in small nations, although he dabbled temporarily in the super-weapon smuggling business. He is currently a free agent for crime.

Harry stands out in the crime industry with his almost super-human ability to disguise himself. He once disguised himself as a police officer in front of the bank teller he had just robbed. She was confused and he was rich, although the mustache didn't suit him.

Harry is haunted by his dreams.

I, Daisy Chainsaw, have lived many lives. Twenty-two, in fact. I just keep coming back. In 19 of my previous lives, I found myself at the top of a tall, tall building - at least 40 stories tall - facing an evil man in a mask. (At least, I assume he was evil, because he wore a mask.) All 19 of those times, I was able to aim small daisies that shoot from my fingernails straight at his heart, causing him to fall backwards over the ledge of the building. Each and every time, the onlookers ooh-ed and ah-ed at the beauty of a masked man covered in small daisies falling through the air like a floating embroidered veil. And each time, I was overcome with remorse, so I used my supersonic rollerblade feet to zip down the side of the building and catch him with a chain-of-daisies lasso before he fell to his death. I just couldn't take the violence, and the guilt at being the cause of someone else's death. Each time I saved this man, he would look me in the eye as I lowered him to safey, and thank me by shooting me in the heart with some small pistol he had up his sleeve. I would die a tragic death, but each time, I was brought back to life with a broken mirror and some blood-red lipstick (my own personal anti-death) by my sidekick, Pickles.

How my other four lives ended, I can't remember quite as well. I had a chainsaw. It was big and mean and ugly (except for the small daisy painted on the lower right side so I would know it was my own). Currently, I am trying to solve the mystery of those other four lives. I keep forgetting my past. I don't know why I am drawn to violence and tall buildings. I am on a mission to remember who I am.

Daisy Chainsaw formed in England in 1989 after Katie Jane Garside answered an advertisement placed by guitarist Crispin Gray in the music press. Their live gigs included grapevines and rag dolls strewn across the stage and Garside thrashing around in soiled gowns drinking juice from a baby bottle, which was a disturbing yet enchanting look for the quirky starlet. Their music, a bubbly intense britpunk sound, was a big hit amongst the scene. The band was successful with their "LoveSickPleasure" EP which included the hit "Love Your Money". They turned down an appearance on BBC TV's Top of the Pops programme, and even an offer to be signed to Madonna's Maverick record label, later signing to the indie label, One Little Indian. One full album was released, Eleventeen while Garside was still in the band. She left the band in 1993 and disappeared from the music industry.

After the departure of Garside, Daisy Chainsaw released a second full length album titled For They Know Not What They Do with Belinda Leith on vocals, and one more EP titled "You're Gruesome" with Crispin Gray replacing Leith before splitting for good.

The new millennium saw Garside and Gray musically reuniting to form Queen Adreena, an outfit which has produced three records.

I watched Superman Returns the other day. This was my reaction:

the second coming. it’s not even subtle a little bit. the voice of farm-boy jesus’ real alien father says “you walk among the mortals but you are not one of them. because of their capacity for good, i have sent them my only son” - and people discuss whether they need this super-jesus-savior, and then he gets crucified by (and this is the good part) kevin spacey and parker posey. cyclops is there, but instead of shooting fire from his eyes, he just gets jealous of jesus, who happens to be stalking his wife and listening in on all their conversations with his super-jesus powers. then cyclops flies a plane and saves jesus from his first death, and jesus has a little baby sequel with big blue jesus-sequel eyes and flies off into the night like tinkerbell or santa-clause saying “i’ll always be around”. and i believe him. he’ll always be around stalking poor married women and watching and listening to their every move and conversation and having little sequel babies that will grow into big sequel blockbusters with super-sequel jesus powers to stalk more women on bigger and bigger home entertainment systems. oh i just can’t wait for that third coming.

Dear SuperHeroes, Action Figures, and Double Agents,

Here is your assignment, should you choose to accept it:

Blog a brief non-boring biography bringing us into the background and backstory of your Bigger Guns identity. How did you acquire your super-powers and what is your primary motivation?

Eric "Outside Eye" : Check out the blogs as they get posted and see if they are inspiring. If the bios are boring, you have no obligation to incorporate them into the greater collaborative work. If there is something juicy, by all means, use it against the character like cryptonite.

Also, check out Acquisition Asset #1, and determine if that can be used/introduced into Section #1.

This message will self-destruct by Christmas, as it will no longer be trendy.
Your captive,
Svetlana Threat
