Steve (Maximum Ninja)

Steve is the main antagonist of the Maximum Ninja series. He is a mysterious figure who leads the Sguard and opposes him. He has numerous supernatural powers, including reanimating people as zombies, which he gained from absorbing a green gem. Since the main protagonist, the Ninja, also possesses a gem similar to his, Steve seeks to kill the ninja so he may remain unchallenged.

Steve seems to have a massive god complex. His name tag on his desk refers to him as "Your God" and all throughout his base are famous religious paintings with him inserted into them.

Pre-Maximum Ninja
Steve was originally in debt to the leader of a bank robber gang named David Corsen. When David went to collect his payment, Steve shot him and one of his goons and stole the green gem around his neck, which granted Steve supernatural powers as soon as he touched it.

Maximum Ninja 1
After the Ninja killed Arashikage and rescued John Kingston, Steve reanimated Arashikage to kill the Ninja.

Maximum Ninja 2
After the Ninja and John went to the airport and made their way through the remaining Asian Mafia Grunts, Steve appeared to confront the two, armed with dual pistols. Steve shot both of the protagonists, shattering the Ninja's mechanical visor and killing John before teleporting away.

Maximum Ninja 3
The Ninja swore revenge on Steve for killing his friend and, after getting a new look, went to attack Steve's Base. Steve was notified by several of his minions that the Ninja had made his way to the courtyard. In response, Steve reanimated several of the Sguard members that the Ninja had killed as zombie. However, the Ninja fought his way through and defeated the zombie Sguards. Eventually, the Ninja made his way into Steve's office. Steve ordered his guards to exit the room so he could fight the Ninja one-on-one.

Since Maximum Ninja 4 has not been released yet we do not know the outcome of the fight.
