Name: Fabio Vingerita

Super Name: King Cuisine

POB: Venice, Italy

Age: 32 years

Gender: Male

Species: Red Fox

Nationality: Born Italian Citizen

Height: 5’6”

Weight: 350 lbs

Eye color: Brown

Hair: Black, worn in a ponytail

Physical Appearance: A wide red fox of medium height, fur pattern is red with white fur over the “underbelly” area covering the upper chest, stomach, and crotch. Legs below the hip/crotch area and arms below the shoulders are solid red until the “socks.” Black “socks” along the forearms and lower legs complete the pattern. Hands and feet end with four digits apiece.
Weight is primarily concentrated in the abdomen, with a considerable “thigh-length” gut. Hips and thighs are appropriately broad to support the rest of his girth, but his paunch holds most of his body fat.

Occupation: Part-time supervillain and celebrity TV chef

Areas of Operation:
- Silicon City
- Rubenville
- Central Europe (with a particular focus on Italy, France, and England)

Powers: None, Fabio’s abilities stem from use of gadgetry and high-tech culinary weapons. His signature device is a contraption known as the “Pressure Cooker”, a self-heating backpack-mounted tank hooked up to a stainless steel pneumatic air gun. This weapon is capable of spraying liquids of a variety of viscosities from pureed tomato sauce all the way up to thick chilies. The tank itself is compartmentalized, allowing him to carry a variety of heated sauces and liquids into the fray.
In addition to the Pressure Cooker, he carries a utility belt filled with the same variety of chemicals and drugs used by Rump Roast and the Dough Girls. However his skill at applying them and his ability to brew them leaves a bit to be desired, leading these compounds to be weaker then usual.

Strengths:
- Incredibly meticulous planner and vicious ambush fighter, surprisingly adept at hiding himself despite his considerable girth.
- Phenomenal sense of taste and smell even compared to other members of his species, coupled with his memory for scents he is able to see through most disguises. Despite his relative ease at “unmasking” heroines he actually prefers to avoid taking advantage of this information as it would “ruin the game.”
- While not super strong, adversaries are often surprised by the amount of “stout strength” he has, his body possessing a reasonable amount of muscle underneath his lardy exterior.
- Excellent cook with a mastery of the Italian and French classic styles.

Weaknesses:
- Mortal with all the implications that implies.
- Dislikes supermodels and positively despises fitness gurus, prolonged conflicts with them (or heroines he perceives to be like them) tend to frustrate him. Tries to avoid coming into conflict with male supers or males in general.
- A perfectionist to a fault; while his tactics are less aggressive then more conventional villains, the longer a fight wears on the more likely he is to go on the offensive out of frustration.
- Lack of chemical skill compared to other super chefs means his compounds are generally weaker and easier to recover from.

Outfit: Consists of tomato red stretch pants, a whitish-yellow elastic shirt with sleeves that cover down to his wrists, and black gloves and boots. Face is covered by a bright red cylindrical chef’s hat fashioned into a full hood not unlike his baker counterparts. An enlarged utility belt is worn over his considerable waist while his pneumatic gun is usually slung over his shoulder next to the obsidian-colored “Pressure Cooker.”

Bio: To say Fabio Vingerita has it all is something of an understatement. Born into a family of chefs who owned several restaurants, he went a step further by taking his own culinary career to television. Translated into four different languages and broadcasted across Western Europe and the United States, “Cooking with Vingerita” is quickly becoming the number one show to watch…
Charismatic and comfortably wealthy, one would have to wonder why he remains single. In truth, the male who would become King Cuisine manages to have nothing while having everything. A “big boy” for as long as he could remember and an affectionate lover of finely padded females, Fabio had spent much of his life no stranger to prejudice against either. Coupled with a closet feeder fetish and it is perhaps not much of a surprise that something inside him would eventually snap. Quietly he commissioned the creation his costume and signature weapon before assuming the mantle of King Cuisine, declaring a private war on what he secretly loathed for so long.
While boasting a considerable rap sheet for vandalism and minor assault, KC is not often considered much of a threat by the rest of the superfur community. More serious superheroes tend to ignore him unless he becomes a particular annoyance while his peers, even those who feel the same way he does, tend to avoid associating with him as his tactics tend to make the fight a bit closer then they would like…

Personality: Charming with a personality that could sell snow to a Siberian, one almost cannot imagine this man being a villain. Indeed, part of the secret to Fabio’s success as a TV chef is that he is an exceptionally charming and happy-go-lucky person both on and off the camera. Unfortunately it also masks years of bubbling resentment, sexual frustration, and an almost pathological loathing for proponents of Western standards of beauty.
