Why is power so lustful? Is it because people in power can create wealth for themselves? Is it only desired because of greed? Or is power even more than money? People with money can have power. But people with strength can influence and influence is also power. People with strength can take down people with power.

It is hard to build a bad guy. Here is one one of the bad guy's henchmen. The main antagonist is named Horvil (horrible+evil). The henchman is Master Crandall. He used to be a college professor until he helped Horvil develop the serum that in addition to being addictive, gives extreme strength (both muscular and skeletal). Master Crandall is better known by his nickname: Callous. Anyone with the serum addiction who has the musculo-skeletal deformities is called a Faker-Body. The Faker-bodies make up the armies of Horvil in his pursuit of power.
So much more to explain. I guess you'll just have to read the book.

Just as a follow-up, I'm not trying to re-create or re-invent the motives for the ultimate bad guy. But somehow, his motives need to seem fresh. It is hard to make greed seem like a fresh idea.
