Marco: While I'm still trying to figure out exactly what creatures should go in the bestiary (so far, I've got Whoniverse creatures such as your Daleks and Cybermen, plus things like Sontarans and Ice Warriors....B-movie monsters...dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures...your Tremorsverse critters....some more kaiju...some Star Wars critters...and...erm...yeah. That's about it, so any requests are nice), I'll be posting Gazetteers, some here and there notes, that sort of stuff.
From the Files of New York Supermax: The Lower Levels
"I'd stay away from the lower levels at night. Or in the day. Hell, just stay away from the lower levels period."
-Unidentified New York Supermax warden
The New York Maximum Security Superhuman Containment facility (most common referred to as either NYMSS or the New York Supermax) prides itself on managing to keep some of the nastiest super-powered criminals around locked away in its state-of-the art facilities...or, at least, that's what it looks like on the surface. Dig past the sterile white walls and the force field-lined cells and one finds a completely different story in the lower levels, an area off-limits to both the public and the majority of the New York Supermax's own wardens. These abyssal reaches of the prison are filled with dirt and grime that slather brick walls and iron bars. Here, the villains that have no true powers to speak of...or at least none that require high-maintainence and the public's assured eyes resting on them...are locked away to rot in this subterranean Alternate of Arkham Asylum.
Arguably, the most powerful of these is Killer Croc, a reptilian humanoid who was first brought to the attention of the Supermax during a battle with Curt Connors (AKA "The Lizard") in the sewers of NYC. Killer Croc's raging ferocity, prodigious strength, and vicious natural weapons would have netted him a spot in the upper levels if it hadn't been for a few titanium-reinforced cells existing in the lower levels, "just in case". A smarter, more animal-shaped, and overall more egotistic Alternate of Killer Croc (from The Batman cartoon series) is still at large and is presumed to be laying low in the New York sewers.
Killer Croc may be the brawn of the lower levels, but at the same time he is definitively outclassed in terms of dangerousness, rather than power, by the various brains; indeed, if you share a cell with the Riddler and his various Alternates, you'll wonder why exactly the crew of green-clad geniuses haven't escaped yet (if you ask them, they'll most likely simply state "it's more fun leaving you guessing"). The Vulture and the Rhino are the primary (and only) Marvel-verse representatives of the lower level at the current time.
