Background: From the time she was very young, Janna was different. She was always a little taller than her classmates, and a little stronger. She never had a broken bone, never even got sick. And at the age of 19, she was hit by a drunk driver. Not only did the crash not hurt her, it didn't even knock her down. Since nothing extraordinary had ever happened to her, she figured she must be a mutant.

The truth was something else entirely.

For the past fifty years or so, Zeus had been contemplating a comeback. Sure, those mortals he left in charge when he took his leave of Earth were never too bright, but this was just too much. Those impudent mortals had come to deny the need - even the existence - of any of the gods. And a few of them, superheroes and supervillains, as they called themselves, had even begun claiming to be gods - or at least acting like gods, which was no better. Something had to be done, and Zeus was just the god to do it.

Of course, for maximum effectiveness, Zeus realized that he needed an avatar (read: flunkie) to fight his enemies and carry out his plans while he schemed and plotted. Heracles and Ares had always served adequately in the past for such things. But Heracles no longer seemed interested in conquest, and Ares had become too treacherous and bloodthirsty to be trusted. He'd just have to get an avatar the old fashioned way....

For reasons unfathomable to any but himself, Zeus chose a rather average Chicago housewife, Stacy Allen. He abducted her husband George, a construction foreman, and gave him a one-day case of amnesia. Then, shapeshifted to resemble George in every particular, he appeared at Stacy's door with a dozen red roses and a bottle of wine (provided by Bacchus) guaranteed to increase both her desire and her fertility. Stacy was shocked to see such a display of affection and romance from her husband (or so she thought), and the rest, as they say, is history. Stacy still remembers that night fondly, and George still believes he hit his head on a steel I-beam the following morning, resulting in a concussion and slight memory loss.

Janna, of course, knows nothing of this. She just knows that she's got talents beyond what is normally considered 'human'. She never went into athletics, much to the chagrin of her school's basketball and volleyball coaches. She didn't think it would be fair. She was a cheerleader one year, but gave it up when it became apparent that she and the head cheerleader had a 'personality conflict'. So she tried to fit in, as best a girl of her height could. And she did quite a job of it.

Janna finished an average high school career, graduating somewhere in the top half of her class. She went to a local business college and got a particularly ordinary job as an administrative assistant at a real estate agency. She lives in a typical apartment, drives a nondescript car, and has a rather boring social life. To all appearances, Janna Allen is Ms. Average.

The truth is something else entirely.


Powers/Tactics: Like her many notable half-siblings (Heracles, for example), Janna is half human, half Olympian god. As such, she has extraordinary strength, endurance, and toughness. She is resistant to mental attacks, and she is immune to most terrestrial diseases and toxins, and can survive in almost any environment. She is effectively immortal.

She also has abilities that appear to be unique to her. When she strikes a target using her strength, she is able to impart additional kinetic energy above and beyond the force of her blow. As a result, she can knock her opponents tremendous distances. She is also apparently able to absorb a portion of the kinetic energy of an opponent's blow, and consequently is resistant to being knocked down or knocked back herself. (Note: Double KNB on her STR, as well as some KNB Resistance.)

Momenta has been in the superhero business long enough to have picked up some fighting tips from other heroes. She has received some martial arts training and is an above average hand-to-hand combatant.

In combat, Momenta fights pretty much like a typical brick. She doesn't use a lot of typical 'brick tricks', however, because she's not quite as strong as a lot of other bricks. She's not likely to try to cause shockwaves or throw buses at the opposition. Insted, she prefers to wade right in and mix it up one on one. She likes to try to hit an opponent so that he'll fly into a wall or something similarly damaging. Momenta tends to leave a lot of property damage in her wake.

I'm reminded of an exchange from Justice League Unlimited:

Huntress: So, what are you wearing?
Question: Blue overcoat. Fedora.
Huntress: You really stink at this.
Questions: Orange socks?
Huntress: <hangs up>

The Question was probably my favorite second-tier character in JLU. Jeffrey Combs was perfect to do the voice work for the character.

The Awesome Android

[The Hawk God]

This is PowerGlide, a PC of mine from my early teens. Generated in the Old Marvel Superheroes game he was a wonderful collage of powers and abilities thrown together as only a random hero generator could.

With abilities that benchmarked at a strength roughly equal to the Beast, agility just slightly less than Spider-man, a constitution of near-God levels, and a mastery of fighting that placed him as Captain Americas equal. Moreover, his powers of Adaptation, meant that he rapid adjusted to new situations and grew more powerful as time went on. His wings came from being dropped from an airplane to his doom and are only one of the many adaptations he developed.

His side ability to generate kinetic thrust (hence "Power" in PowerGlide) enabled him to overtake military jets, and perform powerstunts like hurl his knives and other small objects at supersonic velocity. This was all way before Gambit was even sketched out natch.

He also has regeneration that works amazingly fast, for those that know it was rated at Unearthly, and meant that he was almost unkillable, and very difficult to put down for very long. His first outing was to find a subdue the Abomination. He lost...barely...Abby knocked him back about a 1/2 mile and leaped away. Still surviving *many* turns with an Unearthly 100 STR opponent cements your reputation.

I gotta do a HERO verison of him soon.

[The Hawk God]

PowerGlide's very rough character sheet. Remember this is a conversion of a very powerful, and very experienced hero from a game system with the possibility of very high capabilities w/o thought to cost. So he has a vast number of MA maneuvers and new abilities gained through mastery of relatively cheap power stunts .

The Hawk God,I hate to point this out,but Aid being an 0 END power,isn't supposed to be put into Elemental Controls.Wouldn't two Succors,both bought to 0 END,be a better representation of the character?
Furthermore,you can't have a 50 point Power (the second Aid) in a EC with a 35 point base.
