Phillip Sterling (Earth-7045)

Phillip Sterling was a quantum physicist who used criminal funding to create a "mass displacement" ray to "disintegrate" victims without actually killing them. After falling victim to his own technology thanks to Daredevil intervening in a battle for this new gun, Sterling became trapped in the void between realities, but was able to manifest in our reality as a phantom-like figure. Driven insane and wanting revenge against the Man Without Fear, Sterling became the supervillain known as the Death-Stalker.

History

Powers & Abilities

 * Utilizes strength-enhancing equipment
 * Teleporter

Powers
As the Death-Stalker, Sterling ordinarily existed in an interdimensional realm lying close to Earth's dimension. From this dimension he could observe Earth without being seen. He could also temporarily materialize on Earth, either as an intangible "phantom" or as a solid figure. He could materialize on Earth for up to five hours but must rest in his interdimensional realm for at least that much time before returning. Sterling could also "teleport" by moving quickly through his interdimensional realm, then reappearing on Earth an equal distance away. The accident that left him with this ability also radically altered his appearance into a chalk-white skin.

Abilities

 * Super-Genius Intelligence: the mere fact he's invented a gun that sends people to what is essentially limbo is enough to warrant this.
 * Quantum Physics
 * Engineering

Weaknesses

 * Insane

Weapons
Sterling also designed a pair of cybernetic death-grip devices which he wore underneath his gloves. He needed to be in solid form and touch his victim to bombard the victim with microwaves, effectively killing him within seconds.

Trivia

 * Because of his nature as Death-Stalker, the world thinks Phillip Sterling is well and truly dead.
 * The use of Limbo from the UK portion of Marvel's The Transformers comic here is a reference to the fact that it was where people from a time traveler's destination are sent as to not destroy the universe (referred to as "mass substitution").
