BACKGROUND: If you intend to use M.M., you have two choices:
1) Make him a real villain; in this case, I recommend you
look up his background in various sourcebooks for the DC
HEROES roleplaying game. 2) Play him for laughs. I mean,
he is a gorilla, right ... a gorilla who likes chess and can
figure out technology you and me wouldn't even know how to
switch on, but still a gorilla. Of course, he is deadly with
his SMG and deadly serious about his work. Use him as a member
of a team of rather inept villains and make him their private
mastermind. Then you can give your adventures titles like
"Monkey Business", "Apewatch" and "Affentheater" (if you speak
German) with gay abandon.

POWERS AND SKILLS: Monsieur Mallah comes from a hidden city
somewhere in Africa where the jungles are chock-full with treasures,
elephant cemeteries, temples of green stone and the like ... it's a
miracle people still get lost there. Anyway, in this city lives a
race of super-intelligent gorillas, some of whom have plans for
world domination (names like Gorilla Grodd come to mind - now don't
you look at me, this is strictly DC pre-crisis stuff). It says
Powers and Skills, right? Uh, he has a submachinegun (sub machine
gun? submachine gun? who cares?), knows how to punch someone's
lights out and plays a mean game of chess.

CAMPAIGN USE: See above. Don't go to the trouble of implementing
Option 1.

THE CRUSADERS CAMPAIGN: Back at home, Mallah worked with slightly
less ridiculous villains like Killer Bee (taken from the Superworld
box), Powerhouse and Icicle (both from Champions 4th) in a plan to
deep-freeze a nuclear reactor (some of you will recognize this plot:
Crisis at Caliente from the Superworld product Trouble for HAVOC).
