Lester Nupldre

Lester Nupldre is one of E.V.I.L.S.'s top students. At age 23, he has been at the school for the past four years and has acquired dozens of former students and a couple of former teachers for personal use. He has a project he’s been keeping secret for almost as long as he has been at the school, the Bio Engineering Alternating Modifier, or B.E.A.M. for short, and had a successful test he’s been keeping under wraps three years ago; he hasn't shared the details about the project with anyone yet, not even part of its name or how far his work has progressed, not even his brainwashed prizes know anything about it, he's saving all the details for his portion of the graduation ceremony. It's a minor miracle that Lester has managed not to become a target of the brainwashing process.

He's been one of the top students for almost as long as he's been a student at E.V.I.L., and has been working on his personal project since a little before he actually made it into the college. Unlike most institutions of higher learning, E.V.I.L. and H.E.R.O. have entrance exams; they assess different aspects to gauge how well prepared candidates are for the rigors of their classwork. Lester was one of the few candidates who scored exceedingly well in almost every subject tested in the entrance exam. It's no surprise when you consider all the work he put into everything, preparing to come to this school. He had planned to attend this school for years, before he even finished primary school, because he was highly ambitious and liked having something to challenge his mind. Honestly, primary school and middle school were a bit too easy for him, but he kept it interesting by deliberately making it seem like he was performing at an average level until high school, when he expected the challenges to increase. In truth, high school was just as annoyingly easy for him as middle school; he barely had to apply himself to get high grades in high school. But he needed those excellent grades as an excuse to get the gates of E.V.I.L., which he knew would be doing its best to challenge him, mainly due to the fact that they actually used an entrance exam; almost no university did that for its potential students. And while he did score high on the exam to get in, there were actually some problems he couldn't solve because something inhibited his understanding of the problem, which was all the proof he needed that the school was for him.

Lester opted for an engineering degree with a minor in social engineering. He wanted his skill set to be as applicable to the rest of the world as possible and to open up some avenues for him in the public sector. E.V.I.L.'s graduation events were always closed-door affairs, although some of its graduations had resulted in police activity due to overzealous graduates doing something foolish or ill-advised as part of their demonstration at the graduation ceremony. Getting arrested as an established super villain, respectable, getting arrested before your career can actually start, a show of ineptitude that had been masquerading as competence up to that point.
