Megumi Hishikawa’s hated nemesis and biological father, this man has been the cause of pain for the Vortex Riders from the very beginning. Originally from a different universe, Hiro joined the villainous Sacred Hegemony of Cycle Kindred Evolutionary Realm, Shocker. His discovery of a belt that made a person into an armored warrior was what made Takeshi Hongo into the heroic Kamen Rider. After various experiments with universal travel, Hiro escaped into another universe, married a woman, and produced a daughter, Megumi. He then killed the woman and tried to make Megumi survive on the streets. Haruna took her in and succeeded in the legal battle that made Megumi Haruna’s daughter and put Hiro behind bars. Years later, Vortech broke him out and used him to gather others to his cause. He reconnected with his old girlfriend, Igura, now a general of a new branch of Shocker, and fought against Megumi throughout the Vortech Wars. After Vortech’s defeat, Hiro decided to take his version of Shocker, Shocker Rift, on a quest to find the Sources of the Apocalypse and use them to gain control of Foundation Prime instead of the Foundation Elements. When that failed, he contact Megatron and Dr. Borg, suggesting an alliance, but the downfall of Sauron led to him losing his wife and unborn daughter to freed Skaro Daleks. He went insane and lost control of his alliance, prompting Megatron to step up as leader. After a second fight with Vortech, a portal above Chizara threatened to consume the multiverse and he flew a ship into it on a suicide run, having him meet his wife in Hell and being there when she gave birth to their daughter. The Author brought him and others back, prompting him to regain control of Shocker Rift and work with the newly formed Shocker Umbra under Metaltron’s command. He’s back with a vengeance and he won’t rest until Megumi is a broken mess!
Officer Thomas Williams is Captain of Beyond City’s 27th Precinct. He’s one of Emily and Joshua’s twin sons and lives with them at 2978 Angel Robe Drive, Beyond City 960792. He’s a slight supertrooper (even pulling his family once each for speeding, but only letting them off with warnings). However, that doesn’t detract from his compassion. His hands only tremble when he knows the gun does NOT have a stun setting. If it’s the standard stun gun like the one in this picture, he’s the best shot in the multiverse. If there’s an option for him to switch from kill to stun, he’s the best shot in the multiverse. Because of that, one of his hobbies is target practice. His other hobby is writing. He’s currently dating Leemii Damfel and enjoys when she wraps him in her cloud dress. His no-killing rule is about to be put to the test now that the Author’s in town.
A clone of the original Author, he broke away from Anansi’s teachings and gained control of the Tome and assuming leadership of a breakaway Borg Collective and rechristening them as the Lords. He broke several deceased villains out of Hell and now wishes to rewrite the Multiversal Timeline using the Sources of the Apocalypse and Flourishment, as well as the Master Wand, the Time Amethyst, and the Mirror of Reality, each in the respective possession of Arsha, Megumi, and Optimus. He is NOT one to be underestimated.
