Book Worm

Book Worm is a recurring antagonist in The Immortals series - he is a mutant with the ability to manipulate reality, however he is unique in the fact he is not a human: instead he is the first (and so far only) example of a mutant animal with above human intelligence.

True to his name "Book Worm" is actually a worm, somehow mutated from birth and capable of understanding the world in ways beyond even most humans - he is both a marvel of nature and perhaps one of the most dangerous opponents the Immortals have faced due to the sheer power he holds in his tiny form.

Often manifesting as a human in order to better "play" with his "friends" Book Worm is a psychotic - due to his extremely high intelligence and power he is not treated as an animal and is considered every bit the equal to a human, for this reason when he is contained Book Worm is usually sent to a specially designed cell in a psychiatric ward, much as a human would.

The fact he is a worm also by no means makes him a laughable foe, indeed it has only served to make him more dangerous as the very idea of such a tiny creature being able to hold such power is dismissed by most in society.

Also, due to his reality-altering powers Book Worm is effectively immortal and has been crushed, burned and worse numerous times but continues to haunt the team both as a worm and in his more familar human guise.

Powers / Abilities
Book Worm is the highest level of reality-warper short of a god, capable of almost anything he wishes and being limited only by his imagination - his level of intelligence far exceeds that of an ordinary worm, being superior to many humans.

He is also capable of telepathy, which is how he communicates with others, in addition to his telepathy he is virtually immortal as his reality-warping powers prevent any lasting harm to him as any fatal encounter or mishap can be "reversed" a split-second before his demise.. giving the effect of him "reversing time".
