  • Complete Monster: Hayman Vasher is an aerospace engineer who is a big admirer of Robert Oppenheimer, especially how he progressed from socially-awkward to world-renowned. For Vasher, who after being humiliated on a date dropped out of society, this involved building a device which can hack into airplanes and control them. As a "test", analogous to the Manhattan Project's Trinity test, Vasher makes a plane crash in a sparsely populated area, resulting in over 150 deaths, including the woman who he had dated. As his Hiroshima, Vasher takes control of a plane with over 300 people and plans to crash it into a populated area. He agrees to let the plane land if the BAU calls off fighter jets which have scrambled to shoot the plane down if necessary, but once this happens, Vasher tries to crash the plane anyway, before he and his device are both shot. Vasher was also looking at other flights, meaning that there might have been still other crashes had he not been stopped. Driven only by his need for attention and enjoying "playing God or some other deity", Hayman Vasher, profiled as "a mass annihilator…who wants to eradicate life on a large scale", is one of only a few unsubs to successfully have a triple-digit body count.
