A closer look at my universe

[Crackerjacker]

First off, a superteam

 

The Sworn Protectors: Originally Outsiders, beings from another place and time, the crew of the starbreaker ship "Infallible" became stuck on earth when their ship shifted planes of existence and wound up partially submerged in the earth outside of Geneva. These "aliens", as they were initially thought to be, quickly became accepted due to their human features, colorful coustumes that fit in with this planets own supers, and dedication to the basic code of "serve and protect". The famed superteam was recently convicted of insurance fraud dealing with initiating superbattles in and around bussinesses they had purchased billions in stocks in. As part of the sentence the United Nations confiscated their grounded ship, which they had been using as their base of operations, and made it the new meeting place of the Supreme United Nations Council (SUNC). Obviously the scandal has had a negative impact on the team and their public image.

 

members-

Marshall Creed: captain, team leader, wears uniform (coustume) under a duster and cowboy hat.

Doc Hallower: ship's medical officer, second in command, wears medic uniform and glasses.

Calamity: ship's science officer, wears service jacket over uniform

Sampson: ship's military officer, wears a service jacket and combat gear

Judge Jaspers: ship's chaplain, wears ordinary and somewhat antiquated clothing.

 

On their home world Creed was a star athelete, but here he's considered superhuman, able to lift, crush, outrun, and get hit by cars.

 

Hallower was a normal man, but their jump through so many different realities (including the transdimensional plane, which is a nonreality) left him with the 0 factor, a primal control over order.

 

Calamity was back on their world, and still is, a medium level telekinetic, unable to concentrate her powers into blasts of force or as a physical tool, instead only able to lift and push objects, but to a great capacity, at a great speed, with great force.

 

Sampson is pumped, which means he has sever biomods that grant him increased strength, ferocity, and combat effectiveness, as well as several other mods.

 

The Judge, who is not really a judge at all, met a demon that came aboard the ship as it jumped through the transdimensional plane, and now has a working relationship of cooperation with it.

Next up: A supervillain team, Der Ubermenschen

 

The Nazi supervillain Meister-Verstander, the last surviving German superhuman, has had countless cover identities in America since the end of WWII. He infiltrated Reagan's superteam, the Minutemen, as the perfect human Utopian, and under the identity of Simon Stand was one of the founders of the west coast Legends superteam.

 

Recently, having lost his last deep cover identity, Meister-Verstander (The Master Mind) has ressurected three other Nazi supers, the most powerfull of the least fanatical. This of course excluding the infamous Thundergods, arguably the most powerful Nazi superhumans ever. Instead in his line up is Waupen d Gott (Weapon of God), who controlled the Eastern Front, Der Keigel (The Brick), who was his bodygaurd in the Western Front, and Der Frosch (The Frog), whose mission was the never completed full invasion of the British Isles. Together they have formed a supervillain group out not for Nazi fanaticism, but Goldenage villains out for money and power.

 

Meister-Verstander: is technically a norrmal human, or once was, but is perhaps the most intelligence human being who ever existed. He has survived the ravages of age and illness through cybernetic enhancements. The Master Mind is not only a technical genius, but master of disguise and deception as well.

 

Waupen D Gott: is an industriomancer, who constructs mechanical minions out of ambient materials, with the power of his mind.

 

Der Keigel: is a homonoculus, a simple minded servant made from living stone animated with a thunderbolt.

 

Der Frosch: Der Frosch is a Deep One hybrid, whose devolution into an amphibious creature was halted by serious mechanical replacements of existing biological parts.

 

None of the Ubermenschen were ever seriously deluded into beleiving the ideals of Nazism, isntead being mindless soldiers (Frosch, Keigel), or selfserving masterminds ready to shift allegiance when is beneficial (Meisterverstander and Waupen d Gott).

The Killing Joke (a supervillain)

 

Formerly a commando in Vietnam and later working for the CIA in South America, Johnny "Jester" Cole was a low-level psychic able to project hallucinations into unsuspecting victims, usually communist guirellas waiting in the jungle to bushwack him. As the CIA's own psychic assassin he was given the freedom to complete his missions however he saw fit, allowing him to excercise his growing dementia and love of violence.

 

Inexplicably after four months of being tortured in a guirella encampment, Jester escaped with his power increased 100x, and razed the place to the ground, burying all his captors (most victims of each other or themselves while under hallucination) in a mass grave, leaving his dogtags there as a marker.

 

The insane but thought to be controllable ex-CIA commando was too much of an asset for President Reagan to ignore, and was reassigned to detail in the president's group of enforcers, The Minutemen. His formal nickname was "The Joke" but all his team-mates and his superiors called him the Killing Joke, often to his face, to his inane delight.

 

Jester played along with his full capabilities when Justice, the morally upright sentinel and leader of the Minutemen was convinced by the Utopian (another member of the team, actually the supervillain Meister-Verstander in deep cover) to lead the group on a righteous crusade. The world's most powerful superteam went powermad and enacted a crazed mission to confiscate and destroy all the world's nuclear weapons. Justice attacked the USSR, the NightWatcher nearly killed the President, the Hood took on the US airforce, and the Utopian masterminded it all from a safe location. Jester's part was to seize a nuclear weapons launch facility in Arizona, which he accomplished but later abandoned his post 24 hours later when The Hood was killed and Justice was reported to of fleeing into outerspace.

 

Recently the shadowy Nightwatcher, Justice, and the Joke met at a secret location to discuss their next move, after over a decade of waiting. Their plan is to steal access codes to the now defunct Reagan-era nuclear base, the Juggernaut and hold the world hostage. They would also like to get revenge on that "communazi traitor" the Utopian, or as he's better known, the Master-Mind (Meister-Verstander).

Re: A closer look at my universe

 

The Sworn Protectors are powerful, distant from humanity somewhat, and very international, making them somewhat akin to the Authority.

 

The New Minutemen are the JLA of my universe, now that I think of it.

 

The Legends are the Avengers with the explorer/scientific family nature of the Fantastic Four and the social acceptance issues of the X-men

 

My "batman" (each universe needs one) is the Black Tabard, crusading vigilante of Detroit.

 

New York's topdog vigilante is the Narc, a Blue Beetle type trained normal gadget hero.

 

Each however has their own hook in the tone of my universe. The Sworn Protectors are Outsiders from another dimension, and were involved in a massive insurance scandal, the New Minutemen are a fakey propaganda team, the Legends have ties to a Nazi supervillain, the Black Tabard's brother Says Simon is his archenemy, and the Narc is almost an ordinary guy, making New York fairly low-scale superwise in comparison to in most supers-verses.

Re: A closer look at my universe

 

The people of earth are aware of the Eroneans (good aliens) who have a advanced civilization spread across a system of planets on the other side of the galaxy. They are also aware of the Rid Vore (bad aliens), but most are unaware that the Rid Vore are actually cultists in exile from the Eron Republic, which has a diverse mix of different sentient species in it's citizenship.

 

People know that the Supreme United Nations Council keeps them safe as a whole and provides neccesities of life and human rights to all of earth's peoples. What they don't know is that the main purpose of the SUNC is to represent earth in case of a hostile alien or Outsider invasion, and that supers and SUNC peacekeepers have been used to spread democracy in other worlds.

 

Most people are aware that events of note that have effected the entire globe, and the experiences of certain supers, have proved to some degree the existence of other worlds. Most think of this as other dimensions, different vibrational overlaps coexisting in the same space, which is part of it, but note the entire truth. It is a lesser known fact that it is speculated that a "space outside of space" called the Transdimensional Plane exists, but if you told an average Earth citizen that this is the place where gods, demons, and angels reside they would think you are nuts.
