#3 Mitchell Baranovich
Philanthropist, inventor, billionaire with a heart of gold, man-about -town….Mitchell Baranovich is the founder and head of one of the world’s biggest tech companies, and with his movie star looks and affable personality, he’s certainly well regarded by the people.
But it’s all an act.
In reality, Baranovich is head of a world-wide crime syndicate, with an emphasis on illegal technology transfers and arms dealing. He also has a group of superpowered “enforcers” who take care of business when clients get cold feet or do not get their payments in on time. While he is a skilled martial artist and is familiar with all small arms and military assault weapons, Baranovich is escorted by two female agents in special exoskeletons that enhance their strength and are impervious to most small arms fire.
Baranovich is a cold, calculating man who is able to project the image of a spotless, scandal-free man of wealth to an unsuspecting population. He’s perhaps the most dangerous foe Andrea Tennant–aka “Windwalker”–has ever faced.
(The name of this character was taken from two characters from one of my favorite novels, Firefox.)
About the Author (Author Profile)
Hello everyone, I'm Marc McKenzie, and this is my second year taking part in of this challenge. I've been a freelancer for the past few years, working in animation and creating commissioned work for clients including the New York Times. There have been ups and downs, but...that's life. Honestly, though, I enjoyed taking part in the challenge last year, and I hope to do my best this year...but I hope that everyone does their best and has fun! Ironically, I never really set out to do art at first. I studied something completely different in college and it was only because of an art teacher that I changed gears. Currently I'm living in Hillsborough, New Jersey, working on commissions, trying to find full-time work, and being a doting uncle to my niece.Subscribe

Very nice. He looks like a slick bastard.
And he most certainly is–and I’m glad that it shows!
