Rancid

Rancid is a thoroughly repulsive member of the ACHE faction of ACE.

Description
A hideous monstrosity of a man(?). His heavily-muscled body appears appears to be rotting before your eyes, opening up huge open sores, while at the same time elsewhere new tissue knits itself, so a sort of equilibrium is struck. The stench of this process is something appalling. He wears no mask, but then his face (if such it can be called) isn't the same from one minute to the next.

Powers
Rancid is a brick whose instant regenerative powers make him as tough as he is hideous.

Personality
Rancid has shown concern for the welfare of others, despite his gruff manner. But his hatred of aliens is unabiding. He is also extremely touchy about his looks, to the point of flying into a rage when mocked.

History
Rancid's first known appearance in Colonial Bay was shortly after the RACE/ACHE split, in Ace at the Opera, when he informed the heroes of RACE's planned attack. He was encountered subsequently fighting an alien bounty hunter.
