History: Doctor Sun Li was a scientist in the employ of the People's Republic of China who was the mastermind behind "Project Mind", which would remove a living brain and connect it to a computer, permitting the computer to think like a living being rather than in just a binary format. While Dr. Sun experimented on higher primates – most notably chimpanzees – he somehow offended one of the generals in charge of the project, who had him arrested on trumped up charges and sentenced to death. This general, however, decided to use Dr. Sun himself as a test subject for Project Mind, and Sun's brain was removed from his body and transferred to a case tied to the project's computer systems.
However, Dr. Sun's colleagues who performed the surgery failed to remove the portions of Sun's brain that held his consciousness and memories. It is possible that this was done on purpose, either as part of an experiment to see if the consciousness would remain, or as willful negligence on the part of the scientists and doctors performing the surgery, as a form of rebellion against the general in charge. Sun has stated that it was standard practice to remove the chimps' consciousness centers in the trials he oversaw.
As part of the project's computer system, Sun discovered that he had obtained unlimited access to the Internet and the Chinese government intranet, which he used to falsify records erasing his previous existence and arranging for the general that destroyed his life to be arrested and executed for treason. Following that, he began making plans to conquer first China and then the world.
Still desiring a body, however, Sun ordered a factory to produce a series of humanoid robot bodies built to his specifications, and then had his brain capsule transferred to one of them, keeping the other bodies in reserve.
Learning from the Internet about the faster-than-light flight which turned the crew into the Fantastic Four, Dr. Sun decided to study them to see if their altered physiologies could be adapted to suit his purposes. To this end, he sent them an invite to visit a colleague who lived in Hong Kong, then trapped them in a series of seeming deathtraps he'd devised under the city, separating them while his tests explored their limits. Posing as their nemesis Doctor Doom, he then appeared as a hologram to "congratulate" them, but Dr. Richards quickly determined that he wasn't Doom because he didn't monologue enough. He then appeared and took psychic control the Human Torch, but the Torch was freed when the Thing broke the robot body's brain case.
It was later revealed that Sun's brain was actually encased in the robot body's chest, not in the vulnerable glass casing where the robot's head would be. Having determined that the Fantastic Four would be of no use to his plans, Doctor Sun was last seen viewing a listing of a number of superhumans – hero and villain alike – to determine who would make suitable pawns. Where Sun will appear next is anyone's guess.
Age: Indeterminate.
Height: (robot body) 7', original human height unknown.
Weight: (robot body) 1,500 lbs, original human weight unknown.
Eyes: None.
Hair: None.
Uniform: None.
Strength Level: Doctor Sun possesses a humanoid robot body with superhuman strength that can lift/press around two tons.
Known Superhuman Powers: Doctor Sun's robotic body, built from a gold-titanium alloy, possesses superhuman strength and durability, and his hands are sharp enough to be used as claws. Contrary to those who see him, his brain is encased in the body's chest; the brain-under-glass on his shoulders is purely for show. His chest is capable of withstanding high-powered police sniper rifles, and his limbs are able to withstand typical police gunfire. The optic sensor on his chest is able to see in both the infrared and ultraviolet spectra as well as the normal visual spectrum. His brain still requires oxygen and nutrients to prevent cellular decay.
Doctor Sun also possesses a modicum of psionic power, most notably the ability to scan surface thoughts and to control the actions of others.
Other Abilities: Doctor Sun is a brilliant scientist with a solid grounding in primate physiology and psychotronics.

Role-Playing Notes:
Dr. Sun is amoral, interested more in the science than any ethical considerations surrounding it. That has not ended despite becoming the victim of his own science; if anything, he figures he has a unique perspective on the outcome that he couldn't get from studying chimpanzee brains. Despite this, he still wants a replacement human body; he just hasn't found a suitable replacement. Yet. The existence of his psionic powers intrigues him.
