Pnwcrs:
MYSTIC ILRCLITIN. The Shroud is
lIind, lul he possesses nyslic senses
lhal pernil hin lo perceive his sur-
roundings even vhen enveIoped in his
ovn darkness. This aliIily reaches inlo
areas innedialeIy adjacenl lo his ovn
and passes lhrough vaIIs and olher soIid
oljecls. He cannol perceive oljecls
leyond lhis one-area range.
Ta!cnts: Shrouds Reason is LxceIIenl

caled his Iife lo fighling crine, lo lhal
end he sludied Iav and crininoIogy, and
he luiIl up his lody lo peak physicaI
condilion.
IoIIoving gradualion fron coIIege,

search for lhe CuIl of KaIi, a group
repuled lo have nyslic povers. He
joined lhe cuIl and soon gained greal
knovIedge of lheir narliaI arls and

Afler seven years of sludy, his naslers
decided he had advanced as far as lhey
couId lake hin. They lranded his face
vilh lhe Kiss of KaIi, a hol iron in lhe

ings. UnalIe lo reIocale lhe lenpIe, he
relurned lo Anerica and adopled lhe

To eslalIish hinseIf firnIy as a crine-
fighler, Shroud decided lo go afler lhe
nasler crininaI Doclor Doon. Inslead,
he foughl aIongside lhe Lalverian non-
arch lo defeal lhe Red SkuII in a pIol
invoIving an orliling Hypno-Ray.
Shroud slopped lhe saleIIile ly alsorl-
ing lhe effecls of lhe ray inlo hinseIf,

IoIIoving his recovery, Shroud discov-
ered lhal lhe ray had lriggered his

currenl aclivilies, Shroud gels N

Because of lhe vivid scar of KaIi on his
upper face, lhe Shroud aInosl aIvays
vears his coslune. He uses his darkness
lricks lo escape fron lhe scene of his
crines and lo cover his salolage of lhe
aclivilies of olher crininaIs.
