Crucible:Beekeeper

Real Name: Virgilio Chespirito

Background: Virgilio Chespirito was an entomologist obsessed with bees. After being stung by over ten thousand of his little so called friends, he sank into an anaphylactic coma. When he awoke, he went over the edge and decided that the bees were talking to him...and urging him to avenge the bees of the world! Building a bee suit, he took the name The Beekeeper and buzzed forth to seek vengeance.

Group Affiliation: Was considered for membership in the Vermin, but he was too strange even for them.

Status: Active, but usually locked up tight where he can't hurt anyone.

Skills: Chespirito is a trained scientist with a Ph.D. in apiology, the study of bees. He can also do the Bee Dance, but this is only useful for him to communicate the direction and distance to nearby flowers.

Technology: The Beekeeper wears a suit of battle armor that allows him to control hordes of bees remotely and use them to do his bidding. He can also fly like a bee and fire bio-electric stings. Lastly, the Beekeeper's costume can also manufacture and dispense as much tasty honey as he needs.

Awards: The Beekeeper was voted Biggest Loser six years in a row by the readers of HeroTalk.
