Candle Man

Candle Man is a Heroes Unlimited character. He appears to be a living construct of plastic with glowing hot wax underneath. He was animated by a wizard who then died, leaving Candle Man to finish his last command. No one knows what it was, but the thing has gone on a killing rampage. It is a formidable magical construct.

How to Get It:

Wow. It's fairly immune to reasoning, and it will keep on fighting till utter defeat, so reasoning or beating are out of the question. However, not all hope is lost. First of all, reviving the mage and convincing HIM should be enough to bring Candle Man back in line. Mind control or a Control Automaton spell could also be successful, except for his immunity to mind attacks (but this can be overridden). It'd be easier to change him if he was "deactivated"; a powerful Negate Magic, Anti-Magic Cloud or long-term Stasis Field/Maelstrom could buy the party time. It's difficult, but worth it.

25.

Fire Molten Wax: This wax does a pretty good amount of damage, but it inflicts x10 normal on superbeings! The wax continues to burn for 30 seconds. Candle Man regenerate this supply.

Reviews:

Yipes, this guy is cheap. He's not that good against tech-types, but against mutants and superhumans, he rules. However, the difficulty involved in getting him does put a damper on him... - Fred
