Ramsey Deacon

"Call me Kilg%re."

- Ramsey Deacon

Ramsey Deacon, self-nicknamed Kilg%re, was a meta-human with the power to control technology, and a former computer programmer in Silicon Valley.

Biography
In 2013, Deacon created an application out of his garage, Kilg%re, along with Tim Kwon, Kurt Weaver, and Sheila Agnani. On January 17 of the following year, Deacon was honored at the 21st Annual Quasar Award Banquet in Keystone City. However, Deacon's three partners decided to make it something bigger, stealing his idea and selling it for billions, leaving him with nothing.

In late 2017, Deacon rode a bus in Central City. During the ride, the bus was hit with dark matter from a portal opened to release Barry Allen from the Speed Force. This dark matter transformed everyone on the bus into a meta-human. Discovering his powers and wishing to gain revenge, Deacon first went after Kurt. He hacked into an elevator in which he was riding, causing it to shake him about before plummeting to the ground, killing him. He then went after Tim, attempting to control his computer-enabled car. However, his attempt was thwarted by the Flash. After Tim was taken to Central City Police Department, Deacon followed him, controlling a bomb disposal robot, grabbing a grenade to kill Kwon. Kwon was again saved by the Flash. Deacon followed up by going to Sheila's house, where he found both Sheila and Tim. He technopathically controlled Sheila's insulin pump, putting her into insulin shock. However, she was saved by Kid Flash. Deacon then took Tim to a warehouse, where he chained him up and streamed him confessing to stealing Kilg%re. He then proceeded to kill him, only to be stopped by the Flash once again. Deacon, now calling himself Kilg%re, began to play with the Flash's suit, realizing it had large amounts of technology in it, including knocking out Kid Flash. However, the Flash was able to speed away, causing Kilg%re to focus his attention back on Tim. He decided to kill him manually, shooting him. The Flash arrived in time, grabbing the bullet and injecting Kilg%re with a compound to revert his power. Deacon was soon locked up in a triple-padded cell in Iron Heights Prison with signal-dampening walls. He was subsequently visited by Detective Joe West and Barry Allen, who attempted to question how he got his powers. Deacon refused to say and mentioned that he wasn't the only meta-human of his type, implying that others like him would come to Central City.

After being in prison for a while, Deacon was being put to be sold along with Barry, Mina, Sylbert, and Becky by Wolfe and Amunet Black. He didn't believe that his situation would really change until Barry told him that Amunet's clients were among the worst and they would turn him into their personal living weapon. They escaped their cells after Barry got the supplies he needed to tamper with the locks. Deacon didn't want to trust 'a cop' like Barry but it was pointed out that he didn't have a choice if he wanted to be free and safe from Amunet.

They went underground into an old unused prison wing that was buried underneath the new meta wing. Barry went to point out that if any of them went back into crime then The Flash would simply put them back in prison and Deacon stated that he would be going into legal crime by playing the stock market to the obvious bafflement of Becky Sharpe. As they journeyed through the tunnels, they came upon a maintenance man and they jumped him. Barry argued that they didn't have to kill him but Deacon claimed they didn't have a choice if they wanted to avoid getting caught. Before Ramsay could hit the man with a pipe, Barry punched him to knock him out and said that they could just tie him with some duct tape and be on their way. They came to a locked door with a keypad that Barry recognized as one used outside of the meta-human wing, meaning that if they get through the door, they should be able to use their powers. Deacon proceeded to tinker with the lock allowing them to open the door and escape.

After getting through to the other side, he quickly felt his powers returning and could tap into all the tech around him. He and the others thanked Barry before they were caught by surprise by Wolfe and his men. Deacon disabled the security systems around them while he went to confront Wolfe with Mina and Sylbert. However, Wolfe told them that if they wanted revenge then they should start with Barry as he the Flash and the one that imprisoned them to begin with. He and the others (excluding Becky) decide to to kill Barry, who Becky protects from the rest of the meta-humans as well as the guards, inadvertently killing Wolfe's men. However, the Thinker shows up and attacks all of the metas in the prison yard, absorbing their powers excluding Becky, into whose body he transferred his consciousness, and Barry. Ramsey was killed in the process.

Personality
It is presumed that Ramsey had a better friendship with his partners, but after having his credit stolen by his former work partners, Ramsey turned bitter and enacted a plan of revenge after gaining his powers; although his anger towards his former partners is justified, it still did not given the right to commit murder.

Before being imprisoned it is shown he admired the Flash and his work saying it himself also saying that controlling him with his suit made it feel like he had his own action figure.

Shortly after being in prison imprisoned, Ramsey initially displayed arrogance towards Joe West and Barry Allen respectively, believing he would get out of prison as stated that is always technology, and that he was not the only individual on the bus infected by dark matter, believing these said meta-humans would indirectly get revenge for them on his former partners, however, after months of being in imprisoned, he not only realize that he would never get out of prison, but he would never get his revenge as well.

After being imprisoned Ramsey didn't atone for his past sins and crimes, during his and his cellmates attempted escape from Iron Heights Prison, he was willing to kill an innocent guard in cold blood, he had no guilt or remorse for this attempted vile act of his.

Ramsey is vengeful to the point of holding grudges, as he opting to kill Barry Allen his fellow prison mate after learning the latter was the Flash, despite Barry genuinely helping him escape from a fate he claimed that was worse than death.

Powers

 * Meta-human physiology: After Ramsey was struck by the dark matter energy given off when the Flash was released from the Speed Force, this altered his DNA and cells, enabling him to access his newfound powers.
 * Technopathy: As a meta-human, Ramsey has the ability to control any form of technology, overriding it with his own encryption which changes and mutates like a biological virus, and can make it do whatever he desires. He also seems to be able to sense technology in his surroundings, since when he fought the Flash, he mentioned that he could smell technology in Barry's suit.

Abilities

 * Genius-level intellect: While lacking drive or direction, Ramsey is known to be a proficient programmer, who was able to create an effective software application in his garage. His work was great enough to earn a cover shot on a magazine and a Quasar Award. Not only that, but he was also able to hack into a security door with a numbered password lock without his powers.

Weaknesses

 * Power-outage: Ramsey cannot manipulate technology that has no energy source or is too damaged.
 * Limited range: Ramsey's powers can only work on technology that is within a close enough proximity of him, as the Flash's suit would be limited to malfunction and not total control when he got far enough away from Ramsey.
 * Virus: Because Ramsey's powers work similar to a computer program, if injected with a biological computer virus, he will be immediately incapacitated.
 * Power-dampening tech: Despite his ability to control technology, Ramsey's powers can be neutralized by using power-dampening tech.
