Villains of the Merge: Deacon Destiny

Hi there! Last week I  introduced you to Paradigm, the hero of The Merge, but what is a superhero without a supervillain? Without further ado, I introduce you to the mysterious yet deadly Deacon Destiny, one of the primary antagonists of The Merge:

Age: Unknown

Personality: Cruel and vicious, but also quite pragmatic

Powers: Can summon and control Anomalies of all Levels; appears to have super strength, speed, and teleportation as well, though the full extent of his powers are unknown

Quote: “Take your drone and leave this place. Never return unless you wish to die a truly terrible death.”

Deacon Destiny is a mysterious Level Five Anomaly, the strongest known Anomaly, and is seemingly the leader of the Anomalies as well, based on how they seem to follow his orders. There is doubt about whether Deacon Destiny is actually an Anomaly himself or not, however, as most look far more monstrous than he does.

What is clear, however, is that the Deacon’s appearance at the Destiny Corporation plant prove a connection between the Anomalies and the Destiny Corporation. It remains to be seen, however, if the Deacon will allow anyone to find out about it.

It’s a mystery why an entity as powerful as the Deacon would willingly listen to and serve a man as buffoonish as Richard Plutarch, the founder of the Destiny Corporation, but perhaps there is a deeper connection between them than meets the eye …

Deacon Destiny is a pretty frightening and intimidating villain, but the best villains often are.

So if you want to see Paradigm and the Deacon clash, then preorder The Merge #1: Unity on Amazon HERE to make sure you get your copy when it launches on Monday, March 31st!

Next week, we’ll introduce another hero, or heroine in her case, the budding journalist and streamer Alanna Lane! Keep an eye on your inbox for that.

Thanks,
