Toonman Archenemy: Rancora (Patreon)

Hey Patrons! We're giving you guys an exclusive first look at a brand new supervillain for Toonman: The Animated Ace! This here is Rancora, the Cartoon Devil!

ORIGIN

The mysterious yet diabolical cartoon known as Rancora was a strange one. While most citizens in Toontopia had a sense of when, where and who was making new cartoons, Rancora was something of a bad omen that appeared with very little warning or origin in the 1990s. What was known was that she was as powerful as she was apparently malicious, claiming she had arrived to forever torment the citizens of Toontopia for apparent slights only known to her, though no cartoons ever knew why. To that end, Rancora possessed one of the most powerful abilities of any cartoon character- the manipulation and control of the 4th wall barrier, which granted her powers akin to space-time manipulation within the universe of Toontopia, allowing her to bend the various in-world animated plains to her whim and make life a living hell for all cartoons. It was only through the combined efforts of all heroic cartoons and carelessness on Rancora’s part were they able to defeat her and lock her away forever, leaving her a bad memory and tale of warning to all future cartoons.

Despite being bound in magic chains, a small sliver of Rancora’s power was able to seep out. And in her imprisonment she began scanning Toontopia for a foolish character she could easily manipulate into freeing her. In time, one stood out the most- a 1920s, rubberhose animated character named Tom Foolery, who had spent a hundred years in Toontopia after his pilot failed and had become increasingly desperate to reclaim his purpose by any means. Rancora had found her sucker, and though manipulating Tom’s righteous heart wasn’t easy, she had managed to trick him into believing he could grant him his wish by freeing one of her arms in order to use her power to do so. When Tom agreed, she immediately turned on him and sent him spiraling through the 4th wall into the human world, afterwards she was able to free herself and use her power to enslave Toontopia, this time successful. Now free and with all Toons at her mercy, Rancora reigns supreme putting many cartoons through humiliating and torturous tribulations for her own amusement.

Rancora does not realize that her deal with Tom has shown many Toons it is possible to cross over into the human world and that some are taking their chances in doing so, nor does she realize that this has alerted the one who freed her who now seeks to return and set things right.

Powers/Abilities

• All Powerful cartoon Goddess/Devil able to manipulate the 4th wall barrier to her whim
  • Space, time and reality manipulation within Toontopia.
  • Able to create portals and crossover between worlds if she chooses.
  • Able to rewrite the rules of Toontopia and bring the concept of Death into the world.
• Wields powerful cartoonish blue hellfire.
• Has a secondary “true form” in the shape of an imposing Easter Animation-style colossus.
• Seeks subjugation, oppression and humiliation of all cartoons.

Normally, we don't like to compare, but Rancora kinda fills something to Toonman's Darkside or Apocalypse in his Rogues Gallery, similarly to that of Superman and the X-men. 

We'd love to hear what you guys think of this character, so drop some comments below!
