I see that dark versions of the existing heroes were a popular motif in the contest, so here is my version of the Visionary's nemesis, a horrible being called "The Fatalist" who believes that the Visionarys horrible future is inevitible and unavoidable. I'm very proud of her Flip mechanic, but I didn't get very far on her deck or her flip side:
The Fatalist
Aliases: Vanessa Long
Height: 5’1”
Weight: 97 lbs
Hair Color: None
Eye Color: Violet
Birthplace: Unknown
Power Source: Science
Group Affiliation: None
Occupation: Time Traveler, Psychic Puppeteer, Prophet of Doom
Quotes:
“You dream of a better future, and I exist to show you that no possibility for such a place exists.”
"You "heroes" think that you are going to turn the tide and fight the inevitable. I'm here to show you that all of your struggling means nothing in the end. You are actively creating the very thing that you are trying to avoid."
Backstory:
When The Visionary traveled back in time, she did so to save the world from a future too horrible to contemplate. Unfortunately the alternate version of herself that came along for the ride has chosen to become the herald of that very future. Calling herself The Fatalist, this version of Vanessa Long latched onto all of the doubts and fears in the Visionary’s mind and now seeks to bring about the future that she feels is inevitable.
The Fatalist has full memory of the future that she came from, and the many futures in which the Visionary fails. She has decided she needs to bring about that future as soon as possible in order to reduce the suffering of the multiverse and prevent these “so-called heroes” from making things even worse. She is willing to go to any measure in her quest and is not above using her psychic gifts to manipulate events to their inevitable conclusion. If her behind-the-scenes scheming will not achieve her desired ends than she isn’t at all hesitant to come out of the shadows and confront any roadblocks head- on.

Psychic Puppeteer
Set Up
At the start of the game, put The Fatalist's villain character cards into play "Psychic Puppeteer" side up.
Search the Villain deck for the "Possessed" card and all "Non-Possessed" cards. Take the "Possessed" card and H - 1 "Non-Possessed" cards and shuffle them together to make the "Possession deck". Discard any additional "Non-Possessed" cards from the game.
Game Play
At the start of the villain turn, shuffle the "Possession Deck" and deal one face-down card to each hero. “Possession” cards are considered to be villain targets but are indestructible and cannot be discarded. Heroes may not target The Fatalist directly. They must instead target one of the "Possession" cards. If they target the "Possessed card", then The Fatalist takes damage from the attack. If they target a "Non-Possessed" card, the hero that it is in front of takes the damage.
All Heroes gain the following power:
POWER: Reveal one of the "Possession" cards to all players
At the start of the villain turn, remove one "Non-Possessed" card for every 10HP below maximum the Fatalist's HP has been reduced, deal damage to the hero with the highest HP equal to the number "Non-possessed" cards that are still in play, and then deal them to the Heroes as normal. If the "Possessed" card is the only "Possession card" remaining, flip The Fatalist's villain character cards.
Advanced:
The Heroes do not gain the above reveal power.
