Claim the Sky
This 40-foot (12 m) tall alien predates many other living beings in the universe. Despite its long perspective, Cataclysm seems oddly angry with Earth and similar worlds in the universe that host a strong concentration of superpowered beings. Whether it takes such places as a potential threat or some kind of personal affront, Cataclysm periodically arrives at these planets and attempts to destroy them. Possessed of celestial power, it has successfully managed the feat many times on other worlds.
In fact, it tried and failed to destroy Earth on at least one occasion decades ago, requiring many of the world's heroes to engage in battle to defeat it. The International Space Station was destroyed in this conflict, but thankfully work has finished on a newer, even larger space station.
Many people worry that Cataclysm will attack again. A few—Cataclysm cultists—think a visit can't come soon enough.
Motive: Destroy planets with superpowered beings
Environment: Anywhere in the universe
Health: 100
Damage Inflicted: 20 points
Armor: 15
Movement: Long; interstellar distances between two points when calling on its celestial power of travel
Combat: Cataclysm can attack every creature within long range with a detonation of energy composed of equal parts electricity, fire, and force. If it focuses on a single target with a very long-range beam of celestial energy, its attack is eased by two steps, the target takes double the normal damage on a hit, and on a failed Might defense roll, the target descends one step on the damage track (or some other effect determined by Cataclysm, such as being turned to glass, teleported to another location, or becoming enamored of Cataclysm's goal).
Interaction: Cataclysm can speak and understand almost any language. It generally ignores lesser beings. Getting its attention probably requires damaging it, at which point it may explain why it has selected a given world for "renewal."
Use: The Church of Renewal, a minor sect of evangelicals, is responsible for the theft of several multidimensional communication devices, and it turns out that they want to use the items to draw Cataclysm back to Earth.
Other Equipment: Cataclysm carries several alien devices, including an artifact quite similar to sphere 23 and a stellarex crystal.
GM Intrusion (group): Cataclysm uses its stellarex crystal artifact o regain all health plus a 30 percent bonus (130 health in total).
