Lucius Foxworth

Lucius Foxworth is a fictional character in the Graffiti series, created by David Ragin.

One of the main antagonists of the series, Foxworth was a businessman and CEO of Foxworth Enterprises, who was secretly a superhuman with immortality and the ability to forcibly negate and remove the powers of other superhumans. His desire to put an end to the entire superhuman race put him at odds with Dylan Johnson, Melrose Hawthorne, Evangeline Carter and Switchblade.

In film, Lucius Foxworth was portrayed by Emmanuel Riggs, appearing in the post-credits scene of Graffiti: Dreams & Knightmares (2013), and reprising the role as the main antagonist of Graffiti: Welcome to Foxworth Enterprises (2015).

Background
Most of Foxworth's history is shrouded in secrecy, and lost in detail. Since the dawn of time, he has taken many names, fought in numerous wars, and has had his hand in many of the world's most notable events in history.

In 1985, Lucius would establish Foxworth Enterprises, and over time, the company would grow to conglomerate status, having subsidiaries centered around different industries. It was during this time that he would hire Dr. Carter and Jonathan Maxwell to his board, with the latter notably becoming his protégé. After a lengthy process, Foxworth would then work with numerous superhumans in secret to establish a private division dedicated to utilization of superhumans in a non-superhuman world.

Powers and Abilities

 * Power Absorption / Negation: Secretly a superhuman, Lucius Foxworth was born with the ability to absorb, cancel out or remove the powers of other superhumans semi-permanently. When removing the superhuman ability, he apparently retains the energy in his body, and can return the power to its initial user whenever he decides. It is currently unknown if he also has the ability to bestow power to non-superhumans, utilize the abilities he absorbs or even give additional powers or abilities to other superhumans.


 * Energized Body: Upon activation of his power, Foxworth gains the ability to absorb energy and improve his bodily functions. In doing so, Foxworth increases his strength, speed, stamina and durability. It is unknown if there are any limits on his ability, though his body appears to glow upon activation of his power.


 * Enhanced Durability: As a superhuman, Foxworth's body has the natural ability to sustain numerous blows of external assault, though his inner body can take damage if struck hard enough.

Weakness

 * Emotional Instability: Foxworth's history of living through periods of war has made him very reactionary and mentally uncontrollable.


 * Limited Range: His energized body had a limited range of absorption, including touch only.
