Once Wicked: Labs Closed

Doctor Ambrose Finch was the world’s most dangerous supervillain—until he disappeared.

Now living under a false identity on a remote frontier planet, Finch just wants to be left alone. But he's not here to farm. Beneath the surface of Arventis Prime, he’s building something, a hidden lab, an orbital network, a second chance. And at the center of it all is a stolen genetic archive containing the DNA of every hero, villain, and power-wielder Earth ever produced.

Armed with cutting-edge tech and a hostile AI with a superiority complex, Finch is done playing by anyone else’s rules. He’s rewriting the game quietly, methodically, and with no patience for capes, cowls, or the delusions of justice.

They thought he was dead.
They were wrong.

Once Wicked is a sharp, high-tech sci-fi tale of secrecy, survival, and a villain who refuses to stay buried.
