Description:
The Human Roach is literally what his name states, a larger-than-human sized anthropomorphic roach. He is always met with revulsion and disgust, and even more horrible, he often has a number of regular-sized roaches found on his body at any given time. His voice is a disturbing alternation between a screech and a hiss.
BACKGROUND
Before becoming the Human Roach, he was known as Samuel Reed, a dedicated soldier in the United States Army. Samuel had a strong sense of duty and was known for his resilience and bravery in the face of danger. His exemplary service record made him an ideal candidate for a top-secret project being conducted by the Office of Strategic Defense Initiatives (OSDI). Dr. Symantro, a renowned scientist working for the OSDI, led an ambitious project aimed at creating a super-soldier capable of surviving the most extreme conditions and physical traumas. Samuel volunteered for the experiment, motivated by the promise of advancing scientific knowledge and enhancing national security. Using a combination of genetic engineering, advanced biochemistry, and Q-implants, Dr. Hudson initiated the transformation process. Samuel’s DNA was merged with that of several resilient insect species, including cockroaches, known for their incredible survival capabilities. The process was excruciating and left Samuel in a state of constant agony as his body underwent a drastic metamorphosis. The experiment was deemed a success from a technical standpoint, but the result was a grotesque human-insect hybrid. Samuel emerged as the Human Roach, a human-sized creature with a chitinous exoskeleton, segmented limbs, and multi-faceted eyes. His new form endowed him with extraordinary durability, rapid regenerative abilities, and an immunity to most toxins and environmental hazards. During the course of the experiment, Dr. Hudson underwent his own transformation, becoming Dr. Symantro. The Q-implants he had used to enhance his mental capabilities had awakened a dark side within him. Now driven by a desire for domination and control, Symantro viewed the Human Roach as both a testament to his genius and a powerful tool for his future plans. When Dr. Symantro fled the OSDI, he took the Human Roach with him, seeing the creature as an invaluable asset. To ensure Samuel’s loyalty, Symantro infected him with a bio-agent specifically designed to deteriorate his health gradually. The only way to keep the bio-agent at bay was through regular doses of an antidote that only Symantro could provide. The Human Roach became an enforcer and operative for Symantro's newly formed Whisper Alliance. Forced to comply with Symantro’s commands to receive his life-saving antidote, Samuel carried out numerous missions, utilizing his enhanced abilities to execute tasks that no ordinary human could survive. Despite his grotesque appearance and the horror he instilled in others, the remnants of Samuel’s human consciousness remained intact, creating a constant internal struggle. Within the monstrous exterior of the Human Roach, Samuel Reed’s humanity persisted. He despised the atrocities he was forced to commit and yearned for freedom from Symantro’s control. The bio-agent was a constant reminder of his enslavement, and his primary goal became finding a way to neutralize the agent and escape Symantro’s grasp. The Human Roach is a tragic figure, a once noble soldier transformed into a creature of nightmare through the unethical ambitions of Dr. Symantro. His enhanced survivability and regenerative abilities make him a formidable force, but it is his enduring human spirit and desire for redemption that define his character. As he continues to serve under the threat of Symantro’s bio-agent, the Human Roach’s internal battle between his monstrous form and his human soul rages on, driving him to seek a way to break free and reclaim his humanity.

Special Commentary
The Human Roach was created by a non-governmental underground program and abandoned, or escaped, from his confinement and creators. He operates on a near primal level, but he is excellent at hiding in urban environments because he can communicate and control roaches, a strategy he has often used to distract hunters or attackers. At heart, he is subservient and submissive to stronger personalities.
