The picture and character depicted was part of an rpg I GMed called Thunder. A synopsis of the campaign can be found in this thread here ...

The guy in the picture appeared in the arc that comprised, Thunder "issues" 27 and 28 of that thread.
Basically, similar to the evetns of Uncanny X-Men 230-somethings, a Brood ship that crashed in northern Canada and began infecting a small town. A team of Epsilons was sent in, and despite a hectic adventure, managed to elminate the Brood threat as well as secure a number of human hosts carrying embryonic brood ... a queen amongst them.
This happened back when the brilliant geneticist Dr. Alfred Stone was still employeed by Depart. H. And his research into the Brood DNA greatly aided his production of a line of "clone-templates", not yet individuated out of a generic mold. The most advanced of these clones, developed after he left Department H was the Thunder synthoid.
When Stone founded GenTech he secretly continued his research into various applications for Brood DNA, developing various gases, agents, and viruses to various limited degrees of success.
Some of these brood-by-products were stored in an underground installation beneath GenTech's HQ in Toronto, and a number of the containers were accidentally damaged during an attack on GenTech by a religious fanatic called the Puritan (aka the Crusader).
The strange mixture of gases that filled the underground installation had little effect on most of those exposed. However, somehow, the genetic stuff of the brood contained in the various gases, et al. was so tenacious that it began to rewrite the DNA of some of those exposed. For most, this change was only slight ... causing mouth and finger mutations and homicidal rages. For Farhill however, the alteration was far more significant .. perhaps as a result of concentrated exposure. He effectively became a "half-brood".
As a result of this transformation, the half-brood began to pick up on subtle "telepathic" whispers from the brood-queen embyro still being held in stasis in a secret installation near Uranium City on northern Saskatchewan. This same installation also houses a number of superhuman "clone-templates".
Unfortunately, when Thunder was exposed to the gases, he suffered a drop in power, and during this time he was kidnapped by Arcade thrown into Murderworld and, well, murdered, so the campaign never got around to revealing alot of this ... or the fate of little Brent, the kid who was Thunder's #1 fan and whose mother the superhero was scooping for in his civilian identity.
