Background/History: Born into a working class London family, Janine Jones life was unremarkable until September 11, 1940, when the German Blitz left the 15 year old orphaned and homeless. The next terrible months passed in a blur to the devastated girl, as she did the best she could in a city that shared her horror.

 

Then came December 29, when the Second Great Fire of London signaled Janine's rebirth. Surrounded by flames, Janine screamed up at the heavens, and the heavens answered. Rains poured down, the fires faded, and Janine did the impossible. Born upon the winds, Janine rose up into the air.

 

Janine didn't know how she had come by these strange powers to call upon the storm, and she didn't much care. Riding the winds, she filled the night skies of London with heavy fogs and wild tempests, crashing scores of Axis bombers and saving the lives of thousands of Englishmen. Quickly His Majesty’s Extraordinary Operatives contacted and recruited the young girl, giving her a colorful costume and the code name Storm Child, and charging her to continue the task of protecting London's skies.

 

She dropped the "Child" from her code name almost immediately.

 

Now Janine, code named "The Storm", serves as a key Extraordinary Operative, manipulating the weather to foil Hitler's air war and make life difficult for his troops on the ground. While the Axis has dispatched many of their own Ubermenschen against her, The Storm's most frightening enemy has proven to be Donner, a German Super soldier whose powers mirror her own.

 

Personality/Motivation: Janine Jones is brave, honest, kind, and just a little broken. She pours her pain into the war against the Axis powers, and into protecting ordinary people against her family's fate. If she survives the war, she'll have to deal with the guilt of having killed, and without the training of a professional soldier.

 

The Extraordinary Operatives have taken Janine as a little sister, and she has come to view them as a surrogate family.

 

Quote: I've got to come up with a good quote and I just can't. It's hard to come up with something catchy whenever you want.

 

Powers/Tactics: Janine avoids hand to hand combat when she can, holding herself far back from and above the battle and using her lightning and wind powers to confound the enemy. When fighting alone, she's fond of calling up a thick fog; her own vision remains unimpaired, while the enemy finds it almost impossible to attack her.

 

Janine is able to fly by calling up powerful winds, but is only able to do so out doors or in areas with excellent ventilation. The resulting local wind storm can be very disruptive. Many of her powers become almost useless in sealed, enclosed spaces.

 

In addition to her ability to control the weather, Janine has demonstrated improved eyesight, vastly accelerated reflexes that border on the superhuman, and levels of genuinely superhuman durability. She also seems able to recover quickly from virtually any injury that doesn’t kill her. As a side effect of her accelerated healing, Janine has begun to display levels of athletic development that rival those of Olympic athletes.

 

Campaign Use:

 

Appearance: A very attractive young woman with dark brown hair and blue eyes. In battle she wears a modified airman's uniform without rank insignia but with a patch designating her status as an extraordinary operative. Her face is partially concealed by heavy goggles. In public relations appearances she has worn a variety of costumes, most of them designed to show off her feminine attributes while retaining some modesty. Janine still appears to be in her mid teens.

Background/History: Douglas White joined the Army wanting to help his
country overseas, but when he got hurt during basic training he thought
his dream was over. The Army still offered him a chance to Help if he would
Voulenter for some Medical Experiments That would make him Faster &
stronger, A SUPER SOLDIER. Being the Patriot he was he Readily Agreed.

The Injections werent to bad, the Chemicals Baths & brief doses of 
Radioactive Materials were tolerable. But when his Back started to develop 
two Humps,well now that Hurt. The scientists were Baffeled, till the Morning 
they heard Doug screaming in his Room, they ran in just intime to see his 
Wings Break Free. Stumped by this new development they shelved the 
Formula with notes of it's side effects. besides the wings they formula did 
work.

Over the next few weeks his body grew stronger, faster, and his Eyes 
became Sharper and Clearer,he could see flaws in everything, That made it 
easy for him to strike at the weak points. And Best of all he could Fly . 

The Army Outfitted him with an Armored Flag Suit and a Pair of Armered Gloves.
He Bacame The American Eagle

Personality/Motivation: A true american hero, ready to stop the evil that is 
the Axis enemies, and good ole boy.  Doug is easy going and easy to get 
along with he finds is Powers a complete rush, and using them for his country 
even more of a rush

Quote: For America!!

Powers/Tactics: The Experiments preformed on Doug made him Stronger, 
faster and tougher, but they had a few effects that the scientists were not 
expecting. Doug Sprouted Wings, and could use them to Fly & Glide, and 
made his eyes Sharp, he was able to see the Flaws in things, to spot the 
weak pionts. It has helped him take down a tank more than once. THe 
gauntlets the Army outfitted him with make is punches all the more 
devestating, and allow him to deflect most ranged attacks.

In Combat it depends on what he is Fighting, against tanks and heavy 
machinery he will sit back and try to find weakness before he engages. On 
Humans or Supers he will wades in Armored Fists Flying, he will generally only 
find weakness on them unless they prove to be to tough for him or have a 
reputaion as being super tough.

Campaign Use: 

Appearance: 5'11" and 190 pound of lean muscle, Blonde hair and blue eyed 
he could amost pass for one of Hitlers Youth, that is if he didn't have Huge 
Wings on his back. As The American Eagle he wears his Armored Flag Suit, 
Gauntlets, and a Pilots leather helmet & goggles

Re: Golden Age Supers from my Wold Newton campaign

 

A homage to Storm ?

 

Not exactly. The player wanted a weather controller, and the closest I could find by looking at Golden Age and pulp sources were a few characters with some of Thor's paraphenalia, the Captain Marvel family, and some supernatural monsters from Pulp and Victoriana that looked like they could call up storms or lightning strikes. So, we built a region and era appropriate back story and didn't give a specific source for her powers in the write up. Her deep back story was that she was a daughter of Wotan.
