The Dealer

The Dealer is a poker-themed super villain from Freedom City who has the ability to control probability and fling deadly razor-tipped playing cards.

Probability Control
The Dealer has the ability to affect the outcome of not just card games, but any occurance around him.

Razor-Tipped Cards
The Dealer has the ability to summon razor-tipped playing cards (as well as normal playing cards) out of thin air. Upon throwing these cards, they fade back to wherever they came from.

Poker Theme
Not so much a skill or a power, Quinton Brown prefers to brand everything he does with his particular theme: poker. His thugs, called 'suits,' wear white suits with black or red shirts and gold cufflinks referencing a suit of cards. His women, likewise, are dressed to play the part, but he never has more than one of each suit at a time. Rumor has it that when The Dealer is tired of a particular woman, she is never seen from again and is quickly replaced.

In addition to the visual and naming themes, Quinton is obsessed with poker-related puns and sayings.

Origin
Quinton Brown got into the mob in Freedom City at an early age. He was smart and proved himself as a con artist, but he was much better at having someone else do his dirty work than doing it himself. Using his intials, one of the other guys started calling Quinton "the Quarterback." Eventually, after their poker games, they began to call him that in reference to his low bets and how poorly he played.

However, in his free time, Quinton also had developed an interest in the occult. This would lead him down a dark path. Eventually, he ended up, through some associates, contacting a "dark god" associated with fortune. Making some sort of arrangement with him, Quinton was given power. From that moment on, he would call himself "The Dealer." In secret, he would pay tribute to and worship the dark god... and, when need be, do his bidding.

Since then, The Dealer has become something of a mob boss himself.

Black London
The Dealer escaped from Liberty Super-Security Prison along with several other Freedom City villains. He followed Shadowbender to London, where, using the money taken from an American bank, they were able to set up an HQ in the basement of a restaurant. It was turned into a casino and storeroom.

The Guardians of O.R.D.E.R. managed to get the best of The Dealer and his goons in an incredibly brief struggle.

Karma
When Quinton's luck starts to pick up, so does everyone else's.

Power Loss - Probability Control
When his foes start to have more sucess in the things they do, Quinton's ability to control probability starts to fail.
