Dr. Mundo

Dr. Mundo is the main reason plenty of people in Zaun keep their doors shut after dark. He didn’t work at the undercity’s most infamous asylum; he was a patient there, and that history explains everything about the way he now calls himself a physician. Every procedure he performs is one he endured first, strapped down on the table.

Once he overpowered the staff who had treated him, Mundo took over the abandoned wards as his own clinic and kept carrying out the same reckless procedures on anyone who stumbled inside. He holds no medical credentials, just a cabinet of chemicals and a seemingly endless tolerance for the consequences. Each dose leaves him bulkier, purpler, and more grotesque, and that’s the whole idea: he doesn’t simply endure pain, he devours it and gets stronger.

His abilities carry the same self-experimental streak:

• Goes Where He Pleases lets him ignore the first immobilizing effect that hits him, at the cost of some health, and leaves behind a chemical canister he can pick up again later.
• Infected Bonesaw is a thrown blade that slows and damages a target in proportion to their current health.
• Heart Zapper is a self-inflicted jolt that damages nearby enemies and banks energy for a later burst.
• Blunt Force Trauma adds bonus attack damage scaling with his max health, and his bag swing hits harder still.
• Maximum Dosage, his ultimate, is an immediate chemical rush that restores a portion of his missing health, grants bonus Move Speed, and keeps regenerating some of his max health over a long stretch.

Nearly everything he does scales off the health he keeps stacking. Timing his ultimate well can lure an overeager enemy into spending damage they can’t really finish him with, though anyone who applies an anti-heal right as he activates it can cut into much of what he recovers. Either way, an unlicensed doctor with no training is still one of Zaun’s most dangerous residents.
