Roddy Diesel is a superpowered criminal and seasoned fighter who partners with his younger brother Sammy Diesel. Both brothers share rapid regenerative healing factors that let them regrow lost limbs, survive dismemberment, and recover from near-fatal injuries almost instantly. Their resilience enables reckless tactics, such as navigating laser grids that shred their bodies mid-heist, regenerating relentlessly until the job is done.

Roddy’s brute strength is tempered by a Princeton degree in temporal physics, which drives his obsession to build a functional time machine—a project funded through heists. Despite a hulking frame and a juvenile record peppered with arrests, he prides himself on tactical cunning, applying scientific rigor to orchestrate complex crimes.

Under the alias “Professor Reichenbach,” Roddy infiltrated crime lord The Bastard’s mansion, extracting intel by schmoozing guards while teammate Kasey siphoned architectural plans from their memories. In combat, he wields stolen power gloves to demolish reinforced walls and brawls with adversaries like the superhero Gladiator, turning his relentless regeneration into a tactical edge to outpace opponents.

His dynamic with Sammy shifts between brotherly teamwork and fierce rivalry, often racing to disable security systems mid-mission. Post-job, Roddy invests his share into clandestine labs chasing time-travel breakthroughs, while Sammy squanders earnings on lavish excess.

Though frequently clashing with superheroes, Roddy approaches villainy as a pragmatic strategist, valuing survival and profit over grand ideologies. He displays selective loyalty to allies like Johnny Bolt and The Heat, yet every scheme circles back to self-interest—and a hunger to transcend the grind of petty crime.
