Victor has learned to harness pain, shocking himself with '''[[Victor#Jumpstart|Jumpstart]]''' to get his adrenaline rushing and his faulty heart pumping. He welcomes incoming damage with open (albeit mismatched) arms, channeling it into his '''[[Victor#Pain Battery|Pain Battery]]''' and granting enemies a taste of the pain he endures.

After waking up on a mortuary table with no memories, Victor wants nothing more than to find out who made him and from whom he is made of.


Victor was released on [[Update:August 29, 2025|August 29, 2025]] as the final hero of the [[Update:August 18, 2025|Six New Heroes]] update.

=== Ability Changes ===
<!--For fresh data see [[Deadlock:Street Brawl Ability Changes]] -->
In addition to [[Street Brawl#Heroes|global changes]], Victor receives the following modifications to his abilities:


=== Lore ===
==== {{AbilityIcon|Aura of Suffering|no-link=true}} ====
Victor is made out of dead body parts.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Victor|hero2=Ivy|number=2|hero_quote1=Victor|quote1=I'm in chronic pain, and my body's stitched together from corpses I can't Identify.}}</ref> Though he has been searching for a while, he has yet to find the origins of any of his body parts.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Victor|hero2=Infernus|number=3|hero_quote1=Infernus|quote1=You figure out where any of you came from yet?|hero_quote2=Victor|quote2=No.}}</ref> Because he doesn't know where pieces of his body come from, he hasn't replaced or discarded any limbs.<ref name=":1">{{ConvoCite|hero1=Victor|hero2=Bebop|number=2|hero_quote1=Bebop|quote1=I'm not trying to be rude but... How much of you is... Original you? Well not original per se, but-|hero_quote2=Victor|quote2=I see where you're going. No. I haven't had to swap out parts yet. Probably should. My left arm keeps popping off. But it doesn't feel right to discard it when I don't even know who they were.}}</ref> It's implied that Victor's physical condition is deteriorating, and his left arm keeps falling off.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":1" />
* Radius {{#invoke:StreetBrawlAbilities|change|Aura of Suffering|Radius}}, from {{DataProp|Aura of Suffering|Radius}}m to {{DataProp|Aura of Suffering|Radius|streetbrawl}}m.


Victor's in constant chronic pain, with the only relief being from [[Viscous#(2) The Cube|The Cube]].<ref>{{PageRef|name=Victor}}'s in-game [[Victor/Quotes#Allies|voice line]] (Clutch Cube): ''"I... I don't feel pain!"''</ref>
=== Item Draft ===
{{HeroStreetBrawlItems|Victor}}


Victor's willing to do anything for answers on his origins.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Victor}}'s in-game [[Victor/Quotes#Aura of Suffering|voice line]] (Upgrade Aura of Suffering): ''"There's no price I'm not willing to pay for answers."''</ref>
== Backstory ==
 
{{Fates_Tale|frank}}
== Character interactions ==
* Victor is often seen by the other heroes as sad or pitiable.<ref name=":0"> {{PageRef|name=Victor}}'s [[Victor/Quotes#Enemy Heroes|enemy hero interactions]]</ref>
* Victor is considered attractive. {{PageRef|name=Infernus}} calls him "a pretty good looking corpse",<ref>{{PageRef|name=Infernus}}' in-game [[Infernus/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Victor): ''"All things considered: he's a pretty good looking corpse."''</ref> and {{PageRef|name=Silver}} refers to him as the "prettiest corpse on Manhattan".<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Lady Geist|hero2=Silver|number=3|hero_quote1=Silver|quote1=Geist, keep running your mouth and you'll be the prettiest little corpse on Manhattan. Well... second prettiest, Victor's kinda got a lot going for him.}}</ref> {{PageRef|name=Paige}} tells Victor never to put on a shirt,<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Paige|hero2=Victor|number=1|hero_quote1=Paige|quote1=Never put on a shirt.}}</ref> and {{PageRef|name=Mina}} offers to properly sew his body together if he'll work as a clothing model at one of her shows.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Mina|hero2=Victor|number=2|hero_quote1=Victor|quote1=Then fix me up after the ritual.|hero_quote2=Mina|quote2=You walk one of my shows, then sure.}}</ref>
** {{PageRef|Ivy}} attempts to ask Victor out to dinner.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Ivy|hero2=Victor|number=3|hero_quote1=Ivy|quote1=So, Victor. I'm not sure what your plans are after the ritual (...) I was talking about dinner.}}</ref>
* Victor often asks other characters for any leads on his origins. He asks {{PageRef|name=Mo & Krill}} if he can search the New York sewers to see if any body parts down there match his own.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Victor|hero2=Mo & Krill|number=1}}</ref> He also asks {{PageRef|name=Dynamo}} where Columbia College gets their cadavers for their medical program.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Victor|hero2=Dynamo|number=2}}</ref> Victor asks {{PageRef|name=Abrams}} if any of his past cases included "a mad genius who lost one of his creations".<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Victor|hero2=Abrams|number=3}}</ref>

And Johann is one of the best in New York. I'll introduce you when this ritual business is concluded.}}</ref>
** Lady Geist calls Johann her son. It's unclear if this is a mistake or a lie by Lady Geist to hide her age.
* {{PageRef|name=Mina}} offers to stitch up Victor's wounds if he stars in one of her fashion shows.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Victor|hero2=Mina|number=2|hero_quote1=Victor|quote1=Then fix me up after the ritual.|hero_quote2=Mina|quote2=You walk one of my shows, then sure.}}</ref>

* {{PageRef|name=Yamato}} is offended by Victor's existence.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Victor|hero2=Yamato|number=1}}</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Yamato}}'s in-game [[Yamato/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed Victor (translated)): ''"His existence offends me."''</ref>
