GENERAL INFORMATION

NAME: Hal Jordan

CODENAME: Green Lantern

ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Good

AGE: 25

ABILITIES: Power Ring

CIVILIAN JOB: Guardian of Sector 2814

LOCATION: Coast City

BIOGRAPHY

At a young age, Hal Jordan witnessed the death of his father, Martin Jordan in a flight test. Completely devastated and wanting to live up to be like his father he joined the United States Air Force and flew planes. At an unknown point he joined Ferris Aircraft's as a test pilot for new and advanced aircraft. He also began dating the company's president Carol Ferris.

At some point during a flight test, Hal was forced to eject from his F-16 after an unidentified aircraft narrowly missed him and crashed in the desert. He landed not far from the crashed craft, which turned out to be a spaceship belonging to Abin Sur, a member of the Green Lantern Corps. Hal then pulled him from his spaceship, but Abin Sur was fatally wounded in the crash. He then explained to Hal about the Green Lantern Corps and that his ring had chosen him to be his successor. 

As Abin died, his ring left his hand and slid on Hal's finger, creating a Green Lantern uniform and mask for him, fully inducting him into the Green Lantern Corps and becoming the protector of Earth and space sector 2814. At some point, he was called to Oa to meet with the Guardians of the Universe making him Green Lantern.

PERSONALITY

Hal is incredibly sarcastic and makes many sarcastic quips, to his comrade's annoyance. He doesn't think about the consequences of his actions, being more concerned with how to deal with the problem at hand, this part of his personality later mellows out as he became an integral part of the League.

POWERS & ABILITIES

The power ring is the source of power of a Green Lantern and the most powerful weapon in the known universe. It is powered by the user's will and grants them the ability to fly, fire energy beams, and create hard light constructs of anything that he can imagine. Hal also has a energy connection to the ring, able to will it back to his finger should he be separated from it. Green Lantern's power ring allows him to create holograms or hard light constructs of anything that he can imagine such as a dragon, chains, a train, a giant fist, and even large, imaginary machines such as a large, tractor like vacuum. It also allows him to project beams and blasts of green energy. The power ring allows Hal the ability of flight with the use of green, force field-like aura around him. The power ring's force field aura around his body makes durable enough enough to be completely bulletproof and survive Superman's attacks or being thrown into an exploding fuel tank without injury. Only Darkseid's strength and Omega Beams, as well as Ocean Master's trident, could harm him, with the former managing to break Hal's arm by gripping it. The Green Lantern power ring can scan anything, and tells the bearer what information it has in its vast database. It was stated by Hal to Batman, that the ring knows everything the Guardians know, and they know everything. Hal used his ring to scan a Mother Box, though there were no results.

NAME: Xander Sandsmark

CODENAME: Wonder Boy

ALIGNMENT: Lawful Neutral

AGE: 19

ABILITIES: Demigod

CIVILIAN JOB: College Student

LOCATION: Coast City

BIOGRAPHY

Xander Sandersmark is the second hero to be called Wonder Boy. He is the son of Dr. Helena Sandsmark & the God of Thunder, Zeus. Xander spent most of his time at his mother’s place of work, the Gateway City Museum of Antiquities, where he had a penchant for getting into trouble. He quickly befriended his mother’s new employee, Wonder Woman, and was eager to help her. During a fight with a Doomsday clone and another battle with Decay, he created a costume and used magical acquirement (the Sandals o Hermes and the Gauntlet of Atlas) to help Wonder Woman, much to his mother’s horror. 

Sometime later, Xander had the opportunity to ask his father Zeus for a boon. He requested genuine superpowers rather than the magically endowed gear he’d been using. Zeus granted his request, but gave Dr. Sandsmark the ability to deactivate them. Dr. Sandsmark, however, reluctantly accepted her so’s wish to be a hero and rarely, if ever, used the ability. Apollo was assigned to be his teacher. Even without his power, Xander was a problem child, and frequently had to change schools. Throughout his teens, he attended Holliday School for Boys, Brewer High School, Dennis Peterson High School, Gateway City High School, and eventually the Saint Elias School for Boys.

As Wonder Boy, Xander joined Young Justice due to his crush on Superboy. He became close friends with Arrowette, Robin, and Empress. During his time with that group, the dark god Oblivion caused Wonder Woman's Wonder Dome palace to destroy Gateway City. Artemis ordered Xander to help with crowd control instead of wasting time putting on his Wonder Boy disguise. Agreeing with her, Xander revealed his secret identity before news cameras for the first time in his superhero career. Xander eventually became the leader of the team, after beating Robin during an election for command. His secret identity was again publicly revealed when the second Silver Swan attacked him at his high school.

POWERS & ABILITIES

Wonder Boy has Olympian flesh & bones that are about one and a half times as dense as mortal tissue, giving him superhuman strength & natural immortality. He also possess superhuman speed, durability, reflexes and flight. Xander is an expert swordsman & a powerful hand to hand combatant. Like his sister, Wonder Woman, Wonder Boy wields a lasso. Unlike his sister’s lasso, which compels people to tell the truth, Xander’s lasso was a gift from Ares & channels the power of Zeus’ lightning.

GENERAL INFORMATION

NAME: Sean Storm

CODENAME: Invisible Man

ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Good

AGE: 25

ABILITIES: Light Manipulation

CIVILIAN JOB: Scientist

LOCATION: New York City, NY

BIOGRAPHY

Sean Storm was a genetics research scientist working for Victor von Doom. This Invisible Man’s powers are powered by strong emotion, and his normal clothing doesn't turn invisible when she does. He was in the middle of a love triangle between Reed Richards and Doom, who proposed to her. After he gained his powers he spurned Doom. When Mr. Fantastic proposed to him, he agreed to marry him.

Sean and Reed were going to be married on the roof of the Baxter Building, until finally, Silver Surfer came because he sensed the Cosmic radiation sensor which was created by Reed Richards. Johnny Storm attempted to stop the Silver Surfer, but Silver Surfer was stronger than Johnny and defeated him. Because of contact between himself and Silver Surfer, Johnny could exchange his powers.

The Civil War split the team. Mr. Fantastic & The Thing supported the Superhuman Registration Act, while Sean and Johnny joined the resistance, horrified over how the Thor clone killed Goliath. Nick Fury provided both of them fake IDs as a husband s, much to their chagrin. During the final battle, however, Mr. Fantastic shielded Sean from a bullet fired by the Taskmaster and was severely wounded. He retaliated by using a force field to pound Taskmaster into the ground. Sean helped clean up New York in the aftermath of the war and, along with the other Secret Avengers, was granted amnesty. He reconciled with Reed and together they took a short hiatus from the team to work on their marriage, though the two remain separated.

POWERS & ABILITIES

The Invisible Man received his powers when cosmic rays bombarded his body. Mr. Fantastic suspects that Sean Storm somehow taps into hyperspace when he uses his powers. As yet, the only limit seems to be his own reserve; he is reluctant to stretch his powers until absolutely necessary. The Invisible Man has the mental ability to manipulate ambient cosmic energy for a variety of effects, including the rendering of himself and other objects invisible, and the construction of solid, invisible force fields. In an as yet unknown manner, cosmic energy interacts with the cells of his entire body in such a way as to produce a new form of energy with unusual properties. By a simple act of concentration, he can cause all wavelengths of visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light to bend around him without distortion; he also somehow directs enough undistorted light to his eyes to retain his full range of vision while invisible. An observer, unaware of the peculiar path light takes around his body, would have the sensation of seeing through him. While the cells of the Invisible Man’s body produce a certain energy manifestation, the cells of his brain produce a different, more potent manifestation. Through concentration, he is able to project a field of psionic force which he can manipulate into a number of relatively simple forms: rectangular planes, cylinders, globes, domes, cones, etc. The complexity of the shape is limited by his ability to imagine a particular form and keep it in sharp mental focus: not even he is able to see the forms he creates.

GENERAL INFORMATION

NAME: Reed Richards

CODENAME: Mr. Fantastic

ALIGNMENT: True Neutral

AGE: 28

ABILITIES: Elastic Physiology

CIVILIAN JOB: Scientist

LOCATION: New York City, NY

BIOGRAPHY

Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, is a member of the Fantastic Four. Brilliant mathematician and physicist, Reed Richards is a humble genius and gifted idealist. Reed always reached for the stars and would have done anything to fund his lifelong dream of an experimental space mission — including cutting a last-ditch, no-win deal with Victor von Doom. But one tiny miscalculation turned into tragedy when a brutal cosmic storm battered the spaceship and its crew. 

Accustomed to being pulled in different directions, Mr. Fantastic worked to realize his potential as boyfriend to Sue, scientist to humanity, and leader to the Four. As the Silver Surfer raced around the globe wreaking havoc, the Fantastic Four unraveled the mystery of the Silver Surfer and confronted the surprising return of their mortal enemy, Dr. Doom.

During the Civil War, Reed Richards was one of the leading figures, along with Iron Man, on the side favoring the Superhuman Registration Act. Reed's true motive for supporting the registration act was due to his development of a working version of Isaac Asimov's Psychohistory concept. His application of this science indicated to him that billions would die in escalating conflicts without the presence of the act. He speculated that this would lead to conflict with his wife, which came true when a clone of Thor, created by him and Iron Man, lost control, killed Goliath and nearly killed all the rest of the Secret Avengers as well until Sue stepped in and saved them.

Soon after, Sue left Reed, along with Johnny, to join the Secret Avengers in hopes that it would drive Reed to end the conflict quickly. In the final battle of the war, Reed was shot by Taskmaster as he was saving Invisible Woman's life.[33] He survived, however, and Sue returned to him in the aftermath of the battle, having been granted amnesty. With their marriage in jeopardy, Reed and Sue agreed to “take a break” from the Fantastic Four to focus on each other though the two remain separated.

POWERS & ABILITIES

Mr. Fantastic is gifted with superhuman powers by cosmic rays bombarding his body. Reed is, arguably, the most intelligent man in the world causing him to make several revolutionary breakthroughs in the fields of science & technology. Fantastic possesses the ability to convert the mass of his entire body into a highly malleable state at will. How his body's respiration and circulatory systems function at these distorted extremes is as yet unknown. Mister Fantastic can alter his form in a matter of seconds, often much less (depending on the complexity of the shape), and revert to his normal humanoid shape within a similar time. The greater the distance he stretches or the more extended the size of the object he becomes, the weaker his overall strength becomes. Mister Fantastic's transformation to a malleable state is reflexive and nearly instantaneous: if he was at his normal form and taken unaware by machine gun fire, his body would still absorb the bullets' impact through radical deformation. In fact, it was revealed that it was Mr. Fantastic, despite being in a weakened state, who protected all the heroes other than Hulk from the impact of the 150 billion ton mountain falling on them before the Jade Giant caught the mountain, although the strain caused him to pass out. Mister Fantastic's skin is virtually impervious to laceration or punctures unless he willfully relaxes his reflexive control over small areas of his body. In that case, scalpels and ordinary needles can penetrate his skin.

GENERAL INFORMATION

NAME: Raymond Roth

CODENAME: Omen

ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Good

AGE: 20

ABILITIES: Demon Physiology

CIVILIAN JOB: College Student

LOCATION: Jump City

BIOGRAPHY

Omen is a half-human, half-demon son of the inter-dimensional demon Trigon the Terrible and the human woman Arella. His birthplace and home realm is Azarath. He is a prominent member of the teams Teen Titans and the Justice League. 

20 years ago, during a Satanist group ceremony, Trigon appeared to the cult as a man. A woman named Arella was selected to be his bride, and was later impregnated. But after she learned the truth about Trigon, she ran away. Eventually, a group of people from another dimension saved her and took her to their realm, Azarath.

Raymond was soon born and raised there. But due to his parentage, he didn't fit in. Eventually, Ray came to believe that if he knew more about his father, he would be able to make more sense of himself. One day, he accidentally summoned Trigon, and he destroyed Azarath, presumably killing Arella and the monks in the process, and took Raymond back to his realm.

As the years passed, Raymond could hardly bear the horrors of what he saw there. Ge learned that Trigon wanted to conquer Earth, but needed a powerful conduit to open it to his control. Ray, being Trigon and Arella's son, was half-human/half-demon and could function as Trigon’s way in. But Trigon underestimated Raymond’s magic. He trapped Trigon within a crimson-red crystal, and formed a towering structure around it. Eventually, he escaped to Earth where he was taken in by the Titans. He adopted the codename Omen and has been an active superhero since.

BIOGRAPHY

Omen is quiet, troubled, brooding, grim, studious and also sarcastic. As much as he may seem slightly distant and pessimistic, his teammate Robin has described him as the “ most hopeful person I have ever known”. Omen is often the most restrained person in the room, needing to keep control of his emotions to manage his magic. If his emotions become out of control, his powers can become erratic. 

POWERS & ABILITIES

As the child of Arella and a supremely powerful inter-dimensional demon, Omen possesses great powers, both psionic and magical. His psionic abilities, granted to him from his father, include: Empathy, Telepathy, Demon Sensing and Telekinesis. Omen is also capable of Flight, Teleportation and Portal Creation. Omen uses circles and symbols written in the ground for ritualistic magic, calling on the spirits of Azarath for strength and protection. He also meditates while in this ritual, levitating above the ritualistic circle. Omen can also regress in his true form. Omen’s skin can turn red and his face becomes like that of Trigon, which enhances his magical abilities and allows him to access extra reserves of power. While in this state, Omen’s magic usually retains its signature purple tint, but by tapping into Trigon’s power from within the gem on his forehead, Omen can summon his power and surround himself in a glowing red aura. His magic is significantly more powerful while drawing upon Trigon and he can use his magic to preform more feats. Paired with his innate magical abilities, Omen also has a deep understanding of various magical rituals and spells from his time studying on Azarath.

NAME: Kyle Rayner

CODENAME: Green Lantern

ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Good

AGE: 24

ABILITIES: Power Ring

CIVILIAN JOB: Guardian of Sector 2814

LOCATION: Oa

BIOGRAPHY

Working as an artist for the Daily Planet, Kyle Rayner was chosen by the ring of Abin Sur to become the new Green Lantern of Sector 2814. With the help of Superman, Kyle defeated rogue Green Lantern, Sinestro. Sometime afterwards, Kyle was transferred off the planet to be trained by Katma Tui by John Stewart's request as John took over the sector for him, but he became a bad student. As time went by, Kyle would be part of Oa's defensive squadron of Green Lanterns.

During a transmission which determined if Kyle would trade places with John for a short time due to recent events in Stewarts personal life, the android, Amazo, shot towards Oa with amazing speed. Kyle and the defensive team were unable to stop the android before it slammed into the planets surface, seemingly destroying it. After recovering from injuries, Kyle and the team headed for Earth, Amazo's destination, to find the wreckage of dozens of Justice League javelins, and injured Justice League members, such as John Stewart and Superman.

John Stewart led the rest of the Green Lanterns to Lex Luthor's hideout, built specially in case of the androids return, due to their history, only to be stopped by Doctor Fate. Luthor was able to calm the android and walk away unharmed. It was discovered that Amazo did not destroy Oa but simply moved it to another dimension, which was quickly moved back.

PERSONALITY

Kyle Rayner is a man that you would want at your side when the world was ending. A situation that he's found himself in multiple times during his career as a Lantern. Kyle is passionate about what he does, and about the ideals that he stands for. He is the type of man that would defy the odds when told that something was impossible. He believes that through sheer force of will, anything is possible and any problem can be overcome.

But this was not the case early in his career. He took his duties as a hero lightly, often prone to whimsical actions and not really all that confident in the abilities that his power ring granted him. When told by Gathet that was supposed to save the universe, he felt overwhelmed by the responsibility and at first shunned away from it. It wasn't until his girlfriend was murdered that he found the will and the drive to do what he was always meant to do. It forced him to take his role as a hero seriously, so that no one else would have to feel the pain and suffering of loosing a loved one. As a result, he strove to become the best Green Lantern he could be.

POWERS & ABILITIES

Kyle possess no innate superhuman abilities, however he does have a power ring given to him by the Guardians. The ring provides the abilities of flight and limited invulnerability. As with all other Green Lanterns, the ring is a weapon of the mind and powered by will, therefore only limited to the wearer’s imagination. Like all Green Lanterns, Rayner’s personality affects his ring’s creations, giving them an artist, modern quality.

NAME: Sir Justin of Camelot

CODENAME: Shining Knight

ALIGNMENT: Lawful Good

AGE: 34

ABILITIES: Magical Endowment 

CIVILIAN JOB: Knight (formerly), Vigilante

LOCATION: Washington, D.C

BIOGRAPHY

Sir Justin, alias the Shining Knight's career as a hero began in the 6th Century when he rode to Camelot, hoping to become a Knight of the Round Table. On the way there, he happened to rescue an old man from peril. The old man turned out to be Merlin, the famed court magician to King Arthur, and in gratitude, the old wizard enchanted Sir Justin's equipment, enabling his sword to cut through almost any kind of matter, rendering his armor nearly impervious to any kind of damage, and bestowing wings upon his horse, Victory. With these advantages, Sir Justin easily gained a place at the Round Table and served quite well, up until he was sent northward to fight an ogre. During that ill-fated battle, both Justin and the ogre fell into an icy crevasse. Unable to escape, Sir Justin was frozen for over 1300 years.

In 1941, Sir Justin's frozen but still living body and steed were discovered by Professor Moresby, an archaeologist and historian employed by a museum in New York City. Finding difficulty adjusting to his circumstances, the knight became a vigilante, deciding that his vows to uphold justice and defend the innocent still applied even though the organization to which he made those vows (The Knights of the Round Table) had long since dissolved. He took on the moniker of "Shining Knight."

Following the war, Justin was called back to Camelot by Merlin, but decided that the modern world need his services more, though he would make periodic trips back to Camelot to aid his fellow knights. On one such trip, he and the other knights were sent on a quest to retrieve the legendary Holy Grail to defend their kingdom against Morgan LeFay, but although they finally gained the grail after much tribulation, Camelot fell.

POWERS & ABILITIES

Sir Justin does not possess any super human abilities. His enchanted armor, gifted to him by Merlin, is impervious to almost any kind of damage. While wearing it, Justin is effectively immortal as he managed to survive 1400 frozen in ice while wearing the armor. In addition to his enchanted armor, he also has an enchanted sword than is capable of cutting through nearly any material. Enchantments aside Sir Justin is an expert leader, swordsman, and equestrian. His horse, Winged Victory, acts as his main mode of transportation.

NAME: Real Name Unknown

CODENAME: The Joker

ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Evil

AGE: 24

ABILITIES: None

CIVILIAN JOB: Mob Boss

LOCATION: Gotham City

BIOGRAPHY

The Joker is a serial killer and a super-villain, a dangerous madman who dresses like a clown and commits violent crimes. He is often recognized as Batman's greatest enemy, living in and terrorizing Gotham City, although he spends most of his time in Arkham Asylum. In addition to being a deadly and unpredictable physical combatant, he is a brilliant and ruthless criminal mastermind. His crimes require no motivation other than his sadistic desire to show people the meaninglessness of life through pain and death, and the narcissism to see the world remade in his own image. He is constantly adapting his personality and his psychosis to respond to the world around him, sometimes a harmless trickster and at others a brutal mass-murderer. Batman is his only worthy opponent, and although he has passed up multiple opportunities to murder the dark knight, he has no such problems with killing Robin or crippling Batgirl. Although his origins remain unclear and shrouded in mystery, it is also known that prior to the chemical accident that scarred his mind and body he was the small-time criminal Red Hood. He has also been a member of the Injustice Gang and the Injustice League.

My iteration of Joker will be focused on his early stages. Still building his gang, only having faced Batman once or twice, and still making himself known throughout the criminal underground.

POWERS & ABILITIES

Joker is not superpowered in any way. Due to his chemical submergence, Joker’s already compromised mental health became full blown criminal insanity. This chemical bath also altered the way he processes physical pain, making him nearly immune to pain. Outside of physical alterations Joker does have a genius level intellect. He equips his knowledge into creating clown themed gadgetry, mastering escapology & mastering disguises. The Joker is an advanced hand to hand combatant as well as a expert weapons user. He’s used his genius to create a lethal poison called “Joker Venom” which forces people to smile unnaturally wide & laugh until they die.

NAME: Johnny Storm

CODENAME: Human Torch

ALIGNMENT: Lawful Neutral

AGE: 25

ABILITIES: Pyrokinesis

CIVILIAN JOB: Scientist

LOCATION: New York City, NY

BIOGRAPHY

Johnny is the impetuous and immature brother of Sue Storm. Although highly intelligent, Johnny never really 'grew up' as academics and work always came so easily to him that he never developed the maturity to cope with what he could accomplish.

Johnny eventually joined his sister in Reed Richards's spacial project. When Johnny got hit by the cosmic radiation that gave the rest of the team (Sue, Reed, Ben Grimm and Victor von Doom) super powers, Johnny gained the power of fire generation and flight. Enjoying his transformation, he went to make himself the unofficial public face of the 'Fantastic Four', to the extent that he gave his teammates 'code names'. However, after facing near-death at Victor's hands when he tried to kill the team, Johnny accepted the greater responsibilities of his new role.

Johnny played a pivotal role in helping the Silver Surfer defeat Galactus & save the planet from certain death. Once the world was safe from another threat, Johnny continues to be an active member of the Fantastic Four as well as a reserve member of The Avengers. The super-human Civil War split the team. Johnny was beaten into a brief coma during a visit to a nightclub, sparked by anger over the Stamford disaster. When he finally awoke none of his teammates were there to greet him due to their duties of helping Iron Man's pro-registration faction. After the death of Bill Foster during a battle between the two factions, Johnny went with his sister, Sue, to join Captain America's "Secret Avengers". Through Nick Fury's connections, the two were given new identities as husband and wife, which they accepted (with understandable reluctance). At the end of the Civil War, Johnny and Sue returned to the Fantastic Four. Johnny and the Thing continued to serve on the team again, but this time with the Black Panther and his new wife Storm filling in while Reed and Sue took some time to reconcile.

POWERS & ABILITIES

The Human Torch possessed the mental ability to control ambient heat energy and the physical ability to transform his entire body, or portions of his body into a fiery, plasma-like state of will. The cells of a normal human body convert energy from foodstuffs into a form of energy usable by the body, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Among other mutagenic changes, the cosmic ray bombardment triggered a specific genetic code rearrangement that caused the Human Torch's ATP production sites to generate a new form of energy containing molecule. (Reed Richards has dubbed this molecule adenine ribo-heptaphosphine, AR-HP.) This complex molecule not only provides ordinary bodily energy but contains large stores of latent chemical-bonding energies. Another favorable mutagenic change is his cells' ability to utilize this extra energy by converting it into a moderate-density, plasma-like state that is regulated by a subconscious mental field and can be modified by an act of will. When sufficient quantities of energy are consumed, the Torch unavoidably reverts to his solid state.

NAME: Zack of Exxor

CODENAME: Downpour

ALIGNMENT: Lawful Neutral

AGE: 21

ABILITIES: Hydrophysiology

CIVILIAN JOB: College Student, Vigilante

LOCATION: Gotham City

BIOGRAPHY

On the planet Exxor, Fonab and Rua gave birth to twin children, Zack and his brother Jack. Due to a recessive hereditary trait in Exxorian biology, both twins were born with the mutant ability to alter their physical form. Even as infants, Zack demonstrated his power to transform into a liquid state.

While they were still children, a great plague swept across Exxor killing hundreds of innocent civilians including Fonab and Rua. The orphans Zack and Jack were taken to a special center, but the administrators knew that no surviving Exxorian family would adopt mutant children. Instead, they released the twins into the care of a carnival owner named Dentwil. Dentwil placed the children on display and amused customers with Jack’s ability to transform into Exxorian animals, and Zack’s power to turn into waterspouts.

As Zack & Jack grew into adolescence, they grew disenfranchised over the fact that they received nothing from Dentwil aside from food and shelter. They approached the circus owner and demanded payment for their services, but Dentwil refused – citing that he owed no legal obligation to them, as they were his private property. Finally, the twins had had enough and they used their shape changing powers to force Dentwil into relinquishing his hold over them.

Shortly thereafter, Zack & Jack stole one of the many starships that the carnival used for their interplanetary circuit. Taking Gleek the elasti-monk along as a companion, they rocketed free of Exxor leaving the carnival behind them forever.

Once on Earth the twins became members of the Justice League. Zack adopted the moniker of Downpour & Jack became Shifter. Together the media dubbed them The Wonder Twins. Batman arranged for the alien twins to reside with Dr. Carter Nichols in Gotham City. 

PERSONALITY

Zack is an immodest young man, believing that he could be the most popular kid in school. He has also shown himself to be very competitive. Zack often portrays a laid back demeanor, not taking threats such as Mister Mxyzptlk seriously, even though he could destroy the universe in an instant, a fact that Zack knew. Zack often shows off to anyone he can, coming up with nicknames and catchphrases for himself.

POWERS & ABILITIES

Zack possesses the ability to alter his biological structure to take on the form of water, ice, or air. On occasion, he transforms himself into liquid nitrogen. While in his altered forms, he can increase or decrease his mass and volume to accommodate the proportionate size of the form he is attempting to emulate. He can also condense his liquid volume without affecting his overall mass if he so desires.

CODENAME: Hotspot

ALIGNMENT: True Neutral

AGE: 21

ABILITIES: Pyrokinesis

CIVILIAN JOB: College Student, Vigilante

LOCATION: Jump City

BIOGRAPHY

Isaiah Crockett is a human & H’San Natall hybrid hailing from Morocco. For a long time, he worked as a solo hero until he was yanked off to another dimension by the Master of Games, to compete in a "Tournament of Heroes". He was pitted against Robin and lost, and was sucked into the Master's ruby amulet, which enabled its wearer to employ its captives' powers for himself. However, Robin managed to defeat the Master and release Hot Spot along with the other heroes. Robin then thanked Hot Spot and all the other contenders and granted them Honorary Titans.

Sometime later, during the events leading up to the Final Crisis, Isaiah relocated to Jump City to work with the Titans full time. This only lasted for a short time, as Isaiah has always preferred to work alone. He moved back to being a part timer after enrolling in local college courses.

PERSONALITY

Hot Spot is probably the most short tempered member of the Titans. He despises when people tell him what to do, and is one of the more independent Titans, preferring to work alone. He hates to power down, and gets angry when people suggest he do so. When fighting, if too much stress is placed upon him, he will hit a point where his rage can't get bigger, and he causes a fiery explosion.

POWERS & ABILITIES

Hot Spot has the ability to convert his body's flesh into an unknown fiery substance. Upon concentration, he can actually generate flames from his hands, which he either hurls offensively (as fire blasts or fire balls) or employs for flying or enhanced jumps by directing a continuous fire burst towards the ground. Hot Spot also is quite agile and has fast reflexes. Hot Spot also has some level of superhuman durability and endurance as he has survived being smashed and slammed into buildings with superhuman force and tossed around by Madame Rouge like a rag doll. When irritated or angry, Hot Spot creates a small flame on his head which creates immense heat that shifts the temperature around him while illuminating dark areas. This also allows him to go "Nova"; which causes him to be surrounded by an intense sphere of fire and heat that he can then throw at his enemy, causing a large explosion and demolishing anything hit by it.

BIOGRAPHY

Eddie Brock was once an investigative reporter for the Daily Globe, before his habit of going off-script and making accusations without substantiating evidence led to him being fired and unable to find employment. He eventually found employment in San Francisco, where Eddie was hired by the MNBN broadcasting network and became the host of a vlogging show where he helped expose corporate corruption and unethical practices. During his interview with Drake, Eddie went off-script to confront him with the allegations, citing Anne's e-mail. Drake immediately terminated the interview, and Jack fired Eddie when he refused to divulge the source of his accusations.

Six months later, Eddie spent his days struggling to make ends meet, living in a cheap apartment and frequenting a convenience store owned by Mrs. Chen. One night, Eddie was approached by Dr. Dora Skirth - a disgruntled Life Foundation scientist. Sneaking Eddie into the Life Foundation's lab, Dr. Skirth explained that the Life Foundation had recovered amorphous extraterrestrials called symbiotes, which could bond to and augment a compatible host organism. While Dr. Skirth distracted a security guard, Eddie snuck into the lab and obtained photographic evidence of the Life Foundation's unethical experiments. Recognizing Maria - a homeless woman who sat outside Mrs. Chen's convenience store - Eddie tried to free her but triggered an alarm. Maria pounced on him and attempted to strangle him, a symbiote transferring from from her body into his and killing her in the process. Eddie fled the facility, pursued by the Life Foundation's security team; displaying superhuman strength, speed, and durability.

Since bonding with the symbiote, Eddie has relocated back to New York and become a frequent adversary of Spider-Man, though they’ve often shown up on the same side.

Following her losing her job because of Eddie's violation of her privacy, Anne Weying described Brock as pathologically self-absorbed, stating his ego requires constant attention and that he is "stubborn as hell." Despite becoming jaded after losing his job, Eddie decides to help Dora Skirth expose Drake's crimes, leading to him bonding to the Venom symbiote.

Despite being disgusted and frightened by the Venom symbiote's bloodlust, Eddie quickly grows to revel in the power it gives him, and is offended and outraged when he discovers that it has been consuming him from the inside-out. Following their reunion Eddie was initially still bitter towards it; and after the defeat of the Life Foundation he makes sure to stipulate that the symbiote cannot eat whoever it wants, but can only target bad people.

GENERAL INFORMATION

NAME: Ben Grimm

CODENAME: The Thing

ALIGNMENT: Lawful Good

AGE: 29

ABILITIES: Terrestrial Transmutation

CIVILIAN JOB: Scientist, Vigilante

LOCATION: New York City, NY

BIOGRAPHY

An old friend of Reed Richards, Ben accompanied him in finding funding for his research into the cosmic rays. While placing samples outside the space station for research, the cosmic storm hits the station while Ben was still outside, resulting in him being exposed to the cosmic cloud with even less protection than the rest of the team inside the station. Reed promised that he would do whatever it took to cure Ben.

With Reed having developed a chamber that could duplicate the cosmic storm but lacking the power necessary to control the radiation generated, Victor tricked Ben into using the chamber so that he could drain Ben's power to increase his own mutation. However, after learning what Victor had done, Ben entered the chamber to expose himself to a new 'dose' of cosmic radiation, restoring his powers and appearance. Although Reed offered to work on restoring the chamber, Ben decided to accept his condition. Later, Reed was able to develop a mechanism that would allow Ben to shift in and out of his rock-like state.

After accepting his new state, Ben founded the Fantastic Four alongside Reed & Sue Richards and Johnny Storm. Initially in the Super Hero Civil War, Ben was a reluctant member of Iron Man's side, until the Thing witnessed a battle on Yancy Street where Captain America's forces tried to rescue captured allies held by Iron Man's forces. Old Fantastic Four foes the Mad Thinker and the Puppet Master tried to escalate the battle, using a mind-controlled Yancy Streeter to deliver a bomb. The young man died and the Thing verbally blasted both sides for not caring about the civilians caught in the conflict. He announced that while he thought the registration was wrong, he was also not going to fight the government and was thus leaving the country for France. While in France he met Les Heroes de Paris (The Heroes of Paris), and perform a few missions with them.

PERSONALITY

The Thing is often depicted with a gruff, tough exterior and can appear grim, but is actually very kind-hearted and often well liked among other heroes. Stubborn and sometimes hot tempered, although that often turns out to make him very determined, enthusiastic and brave, rarely, if ever, gives up a fight.

Despite his tough and gruff attitude and personality, he has at times, although seldom, shown to lightly tear up during extremely touching moments, proving he does have a sensitive side beneath his hard disposition. He is also often sarcastic, quick to throw a wise crack.

POWERS & ABILITIES

The Thing received his powers when cosmic rays bombarded his body. He is extremely strong and durable. Nick Fury's intel classified him as power level 8.The Thing possesses a smooth, orange, rock-like hide as a result of exposure to cosmic rays. The mutagenic process caused his musculature, bone structure, internal organ composition, soft tissue structure, and skin to greatly increase in toughness and density. Reed created a device that allows him simulate a human appearance, though it is only visual.

The Thing's primary superhuman power is his great physical strength. Initially, he was only strong enough to rate as a class 5. Over the years, through rigorous training and further mutation, his strength dramatically increased to the point where he rated as a class 85 (the rating system is only for comparing characters with each other, and should not remotely be taken literally). His latest rating put him as class 100. His feats include successfully holding back a giant alien spacecraft from jettisoning from Earth,[60] lifting an oil rig and stopping a multiple story building (weighing roughly 30,000 tons) from falling over and lifting it back into place. He also possess superhuman stamina, durability, sensory adaptation and natural immortality. He is immune to natural death but he can still be killed.

CIVILIAN JOB: Former Singer, Justice Leaguer

LOCATION: Opal City

THEME: Rednecker — Hardy

BIOGRAPHY

Greg Sanders was born in Wyoming near the end of the first World War, the son and grandson of noted frontier lawmen. Choosing to become a singer and songwriter (the "Prairie Troubadour") rather than follow in his father and grandfather's footsteps, Greg nevertheless learned to handle a gun and a lasso as well as Sheriffs Sanders ever had. When his father was killed by bandits he had been trying to apprehend, Greg took up his guns and avenged him.

He swore a vow on his father's grave to dedicate himself to the path of justice, and donned the mask of the Vigilante. In the early 1940s, he became a member of both the All-Star Squadron and the Seven Soldiers of Victory. A few years later, he and the other members of the Seven Soldiers faced the monstrous Nebula Man, and were transported through time to various periods in history (in Greg's case, the American West in the 1800s). He and the other Soldiers were eventually rescued by the time traveling members of the Justice League.

While very little time had passed for them, they had been brought "back" to a period decades into their own future. Having to adjust to life in the present day, Sanders took a brief break from crime fighting only to realize the world needs more heroes, not less. He accepted an open invitation from the Justice League & continues to work with them full time.

POWERS & ABILITIES

Vigilante does not posses any supernatural or enhanced abilities. In his original time, the 1940s, he was equipped only with two six shooters, lasso and his signature, bright red Indian Chief motorcycle. Since coming to the present day Greg has had his tech enhanced just a bit to better aid him. His six shooters have been upgraded to stylized plasma canons & his motorcycle placed in special storage to maintain it’s glory. He now rides into battle on a 2019 Indian Chief Vintage, the same shade of cherry red.

GENERAL INFORMATION

NAME: August Moone

CODENAME: Incubus

ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Evil

AGE: 26 / Unknown

ABILITIES: Mystical Vessel / Black Magic

CIVILIAN JOB: Interior Designer

LOCATION: Washington D.C

THEME: Bad Intentions — Niykee Heaton & Migos

BIOGRAPHY

August Moone was an archaeology student who started to hear the voice of an ancient deity in his head during his first field expedition in 2010. Fearing the development of schizophrenia, Moone took a brief leave from his studies and recounted never fully recovering from his psychological condition. Years later, while exploring a site in Peru, he fell down a shaft into a cavern containing a tomb. He found and opened a container, releasing the spirit of the malevolent deity who spoke to him named Incubus. Incubus then possessed August's body, inhabiting his normal self until he says the word "Incubus", upon which his normal consciousness is overtaken by the spirit. Incubus is an immensely powerful mystical being hailing from an unknown mystical plain. He and his sister, Enchantress arrived on Earth a millennia before the war of the gods and were worshiped by the early humans as their gods. This changed when both beings were defeated by mages and sealed away in containers, tombed within the Tres Osos Caves of Peru.

Sometime later Madame Xanadu was able to separate August from Incubus. Without August, Incubus became mentally unstable and his magic began wreaking havoc across the Earth. At the same time, the distraught and terrified June sought Deadman for protection. Xanadu, knowing that Incubus want to rejoin with August, organized the Justice League Dark to stop him. Meanwhile June & Deadman tried to escape from Incubus's rampage, but they were attacked by one of Incubus's husks. August & Deadman escaped the motel & Shade attempted to portal them to safety but was only able to rescue Deadman, leaving August to Incubus’s magic.

Fortunately, Constantine was nearby, having created a magic circle that could protect both himself and August from Incubus's magic. Deducing the spell that Xanadu used to separate August from Incubus, Constantine began to repeat it, deciding to sacrifice August’s life for the safety of the world. The rhyme would merge the two into a single being, although August desperately wanted to be independent of the entity. August and Deadman begged him to stop, but Constantine completed the rhyme, and the Incubus and August were merged once again. Although the crisis ended, Incubus had no idea of what happened, so Xanadu sent him to a place where he could heal.

After an extended recovery time, Incubus & August became an infrequent member/ally of the Justice League Dark and an involuntary member of the Suicide Squad after coming into contact with Amanda “The Wall” Waller.

PERSONALITY

August, independent of Incubus, was a mild mannered intellectual more content to spend hours in a library than minutes with another person. Incubus, on the other hand, basked in the glow of mortal adoration for unknowable spans of time before becoming trapped in the containers. As a merged entity the two beings water each other down. Incubus, somewhat tamed by August, and August, wildly emboldened by Incubus, creates an abrasive exterior that most find hard to digest. August has maintained his scholarly nature though he doesn’t have time to pursue the doctorate degree he desperately wants due to his commitments with the JLD & government draft.

POWERS & ABILITIES

Despite Constantine merging the two beings, Incubus is still one of the most powerful beings in the cosmos. He is capable of manipulating magical energy for a number of effects. He possesses these abilities whether he is an independent entity or whether he is acting through the body of his host. These powers include Bio-Fission, Energy Projection, Eldritch Blast, Energy Construction Creation, Flight, Molecular Reconstruction, Necromancy, Possession, Psychokinesis, Atmokinesis, Elemental Control, Reality Alteration, Resurrection, Telepathy, Empathy, Illusion Casting & Teleportation. Despite his immense power, Incubus is tethered to his host, August Moon. Without August's influence, Incubus goes completely insane.
