A.N. — There's another shared birthday tomorrow, and has been my habit, I have moved the villain off the date. I'll explain the reasoning tomorrow. But for today, it's all about the showmanship displayed by the League of Villains' resident magician. Happy early birthday to Mr. Compress!
280. Atsuhiro Sako/Mr. Compress
Masks were symbolic of an actor, yet Atsuhiro's marks kept falling for his performances.
Sleight of hand and deceiving dialogue were Mr. Compress' fortes, honed by years of plying his tricks on society's fringes. One day, Atsuhiro hoped to have the robust audience his talent deserved, but for now he'd be a bit player for the larger role the League as a whole had to play. The supporting cast often stole the show, and Atsuhiro had a lot of experience with flawless thefts.
With his larger-than-life stage presence, Mr. Compress made sure his tiny marbles — the true star — went unnoticed.
