Amethyst Technologies, following the ousting of Michelle Hong, their superheroic founder and CEO, decided to exploit her technological research, starting by using her software and technological designs to create a new line of cutting edge self-driven smartcars. But, to their shock, the 6 prototypes, upon activation during a publicized field test, proceeded to combine together to create a gigantic robot, dubbed Pileup after being described as "the 6 car pileup that walks like a man", which then proceeded to follow its assigned course through the city. thankfully, Ms. Hong was able to step in on the disaster before any real damage beyond the Silicon Alley campus, but in the process made Pileup self-aware. seeking escape, Pileup split into his component vehicles, each fleeing into the city, lost amid the traffic

Eliza mornay was a professional theif and industrial spy, hired to break into even the most secure facilities. Unfortunately for her, while casing a Grant Biopharma lab, she wound up covered with a symbiotic mutagenic 'living ooze', which bonded to her flesh and not only turned her amphibious, but gave her a collection of eel-like heads for hair. fleeing and finding the strength of will to retain most of her sanity, she resumed her larcenous ways as the villainous Moray

first appearing in the penultmate episode of RWBY, volume 1, Penny is a very strange young lady and totally-not-a-robot-you-guys-she is-a-normal-meat-person, representing the Academy, military and kingdom of Atlas in the upcoming Vytal Festival, butfirst brefriending Ruby Rose and helping her search for her friend and teammate, Blake Belladonna, and smashing a smuggling operation by recurring villain Roman Torchwick. In volume 2, Penny reveals to Ruby that she is in fact a sophisticated prototype android, the only one of her kind to possess aura, one of the proofs in-setting of having a soul. Sadly, Penny meets with misfortune in season 3 when she's seemingly destroyed, but given her nature, it's not unlikely Penny 2.0 will appear sometime in the near future, as conflict with Atlas looms heavy in the plot

a buttonman for the Falcon, a Phoenix Bay crime boss, Quinn Matthews got a little too big for his britches when he started seeing his boss' mistress. In response, Falcon tipped off the cops on his payroll to one of Quinn's next jobs at a chemical plant, and Quinn seemingly met his end in a shootout and plunging into a vat of toxic chemicals

but he didn't die. instead he emerged from the toxic muck as a hideously deformed, vaguely clown-like creature of superhuman size and strength. dubbed the horrorquinn, he cut a swath of terror for his defeat. but the irony is? he found almost certain death to be a liberating experience. and now? he's a whole lot happier
