Using his powers for [[RageAgainstTheLegalSystem revenge on the court that sentenced him]], Boris would drive his victims to commit brutal murders and [[PsychicAssistedSuicide suicides]], including forcing a judge to chop up his wife with an axe, and later an attorney to burn his wife and [[WouldHurtAChild 9-year-old son]] to death. When a reporter confronts him and asks why he didn't try to escape, Boris gleefully admits he plans to stay in prison so he can continue spreading death and mayhem from the comfort of his own cell.
3** Issue #288's "The Piper at the Gates of Hell": [[AntagonistTitle The Piper himself]] is a [[ScarySkeleton cruel skeletal demon]] who has kept the [[TownWithADarkSecret seemingly blissful town of Anyville]] under his thrall for decades. Every 20 years the Piper would keep the evil and sin of the townspeople locked away, [[DealWithTheDevil in exchange for one innocent villager]] he can torture and corrupt in his realm forever. Failure to keep this tradition would unleash the imprisoned evil spirits on the town. When Adam Caulfield defies the Piper to save his friend [[KindheartedSimpleton Simple Joe]] from being the latest sacrifice, the Piper taunts the young man that in doing so, he's condemned Anyville to ruination as the town's spirits unleash horrific carnage and chaos among the formerly peaceful townspeople.
