Biography

Robert Keen was a Senator in the United States Capitol, extremely critical of Noriko Null’s rise to power.

After one of her experiments threatened to blow up New York City, he was part of an official investigation when the Capitol was attacked by the Empire Of Shadows. Noriko saved his life, but he remained a very vocal opponent in the media.
After the Guild invasion and the failure of the previous administration to manage several superhuman crises, Keen successfully won the presidential campaign and succeded an unnamed president.

Despite his effort to diminish the public perception of Noriko Null, he was hurt politically by the way he handled the Earth invasion by the Winter King.

He did not win re-election. Refusing to concede and vowing to remain a pain in Null’s side, she forced him to retire completely from politics by using her Golden Eyes.

He was replaced by President Warden.

Notes

• His first name wasn’t revealed until his election
• He has unnamed wife serving as the First Lady
• Several details of his election (he did not win the popular vote, his opponent was a woman with close ties to the previous administration, and there was a scandal about her involving emails) mirror the 2016 US Presidential Elections. His presidency replaces that of Donald Trump, who did not become President in the Beyond The Impossible universe.
• Keen has accused Noriko to have falsified her birth certificate. While this is a lie, the actual birth certificate is indeed false since it doesn’t show Leiko Tanaka as her mother
