Killer Poke is a supervillain who commit crimes by inducing physical damage on a machine and/or its peripherals by the insertion of invalid values.

In a typical bank robbery Killer Poke uploads ("pokes") a bespoke computer virus into a memory-kidnapped bank teller.

When the teller is at work the next day, involuntary micro-tremors cause the teller to tap out instructions on keypads, nervously tremble back-and-forth while touch the dial of a combination lock, and so on.
