That's how he works in the Teen Supers game: He starts off by converting stray animals to repair himself (and keep one as a companion), then he started preying on the homeless. But, America has organized law enforcement, so he has to be more careful as a cop can't simply vanish without attracting attention. And, even though he's TL10, he's not combat-TL10--he doesn't stand much chance against law enforcement. In Teen Supers he's only got a DR of 5, and his most powerful weapon does 4d cr dkb.
For IST he's learned the lessons above and knows not to do things in technologically advanced, computer-infrastructured areas. Hence the move to Africa and South America (that also makes him IST's problem as he becomes international). And, oh yes, he's "bribing" the drug cartels, but, in IST, he's a TL10 Combat Android, upgraded to Boss level. He is also an adherent to certain points of the Evil Overlord List (#199, specifically: I will not make alliances with those more powerful than myself. Such a person would only double-cross me in my moment of glory. I will make alliances with those less powerful than myself. I will then double-cross them in their moment of glory). The moment he gets any of them alone, he overpowers them and turns them into Fabricants as well.
He's afraid of supers. They don't play "fair." His technological advantage only puts him on an even keel with them. It doesn't give him the advantage he's used to. So, he really wants to make Fabricant-slave Metahumans.
As for getting from point A to point B without drawing attention: Radar Stealth and Invisibility Net (UT pg 100).
