Name: Target Zero (or just Zero), The Progenitor of the Twisted.

Age: ???

Race: Arabic

Bio: No one knows what the original woman that is now Target Zero was called, including Milly Rose or what they did to piss off the villain, including said villain, but they became first in the long line of Twisted.

The Twisted have already been explained in another post but to recap.

Tier 3 or The Twisted: Managed to really piss her off by getting in her way. The worst fate for a Like. The original person's personality is there but is in a constant state of mental pain. They have no control over their bodies and are directed by Milly or someone she gives command over to. Their bodies stretch and twist and not in fun elastic girl way, but the “Holy Fuck, make this stop, god please” kind of way. Their body's stretch out to horrible shapes, (If you want a good mental image, think Serverblight.) They have the ability to scream out in pain but that's all the control they have as they are forced to put up with it and keep their creepy smiles. If they grab onto someone and hold onto them for long enough, that person will slowly twist and bend into one of them. Unlike tier 2 and 4 they have to be directly commanded by someone whether it be Milly Rose or someone given direct command to control them. If that person is taken out (knocked unconscious or tfed to the extreme enough) then the Twisted will revert back to tokens.

Target Zero has some differences to her brethren.. For one, She's technically a tier 4, which means that she is fully sentient. However, years of the abuse by the transformation has caused her to become docile and quiet. She only talks when it's necessary and often has a stern expression. However, that only masks the pain and insanity deep within.

In her twisted form, she still has the mind of a tier 4 with the pain of that comes from a tier 3. She doesn't like it and hates being in that form, so much so, when she is squished and squeezed into stuff in her normal form, she hates it, but is notably more happy because it means she won't be a Twisted for a while.

When she becomes a Twisted, her personality goes from extremely stoic to crazy slasher, she's constantly cackling and saying disturbing nonsense as she goes after her prey. She's sort of like Mr. X or Nemesis in that it's almost impossible to stop her. Flatten, melt, inflate, disintegrate, explode, cut to pieces, compress, even something like Bong cha's punch or Megahammer's weapon will not keep her down. Your only option is to run. With her heightened intelligence, she's also smarter than the twisted, who she is able to command.

Side notes

As mentioned before, Serverblight was an inspiration for the Twisted.

It's also sort of a joke on the elastic superhero girl concept, which is very common in the tf community. “What if I did that but played it for horror.”

This character actually appeared before in Arch Enemy. She was the woman standing in front of the door of the sauna Jaya unfortunately went into.
