Background/History: Jeremiah Spottedhorse is the son of a Cheyenne father and a Seminole mother. He spent his early years on a reservation learning the history of his people. After graduating high-school he attended Florida State University . While in college he learned that the super villain group, Terror Inc., had attacked his reservation, stole all the money from the casino & killed everyone. Jeremiah swore to see Muerte and his band brought to justice. Using his newly aquired education, he constructed his bow, trick arrows and costume. He then traveled to his mothers home in Florida, where he had heard of the group of heroes, the Forces of Nature. He had heard that they fought Terror Inc quite often. He has since joined the forces and earned the hatred of Terror Inc, especially Fuer who dislikes his extenguisher arrow.

 

Personality/Motivation: Seminole is very proud of his heritage and if you insult that you are likely to piss him off. His major goal as a hero is to see Muerte locked up forever for his crimes.

 

Powers/Tactics: Seminole generally keeps his distance in battle, but if drawin in to H-H combat he will use his bow like a staff.

 

Appearance: Seminole is well muscled and lean. His hair is long and he wears a costume that looks like street close. He always wears his boot moccasins with the built in enhancements.

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

Now i'm not an American so I hope this doesn't sound too cliched but' date=' for Alaska, how about a super strong, tough guy with tunnelling named "Wildcatter" who formerly worked in the oil industry in the state ? His origin could involve local mysticism, or an industrial accident or whatever.[/quote']

But can he see Russia from Anchorage?

Nice idea. I like the look of the guy. He's clearly not someone to be messed with.

 

You know what would make him even more impressive? If he were carrying a really big wrench....

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

New York - Subway (or possibly Mass Transit, Maybe "The 6 Train")

 

They say that if you can make it in the Big Apple, you can make it anywhere. For Vincent Scalletti, there wasn't a lot of choice, what with him being born there and all. Vinnie (to his friends) grew up comfortably in New York City's little Italy, the son of a hardworking family that had owned the same restaurant for as long as anyone could remember. The family history even said that the menu had been the same back in Sicily before they came over to the United States.

 

Vinnie was always extremely proud of his heritage, both Italian and American. As a native New Yorker, he considered the world his oyster, and roughly encompassed by a twelve mile island. But New York is a pretty cosmopolitan city, and Vinnie was constantly exposed to new cultures, ideas, and beliefs. His family had long taught him that you should be willing to listen to what someone else has to say, and respectful of their beliefs. After all, how would Vinnie feel if a stranger dismissed his ideals out of hand?

 

All in all, Vinnie grew up to be a pretty level headed person. He was most of the way through his Senior year at NYU when it happened.

 

Now it would be a cliche to say that Vinnie wandered into the physics labs looking for his professor so that he could inquire about an extension on his final project and somehow got lost in an area he knew very well, only to emerge into the room where the phased tachyon emitter array was about to be fired for the first time.

 

Call Vinnie a cliche.

 

His body bombarded by Tachyonic energy, he somehow absorbed it and promptly disappeared from the room. He reappeared on Ellis Island, confused, and in line for the tour.

 

Since that day, Vinnie has taken the simple respect his family instilled in him for all others, and made it a vocation. As Subway, Vinnie is the mass transit specialist for USA 50, as he can bend the tachyon energy at his command for a variety of uses, not the least of which is transporting the entire group to almost anywhere on the planet. This is tiring in the extreme, but it does mean that when the group absolutely, positively has to be there, Subway can deliver.

 

In addition, he can use the energy offensively, generating blasts that knock things just ever so slightly out of phase, and damaging their structure. He's loath to use that at anything remotely like full power on another human, so he spent some time learning self-defense from the guardian angels. He still patrols NY city and state, but he always keeps his ears open in case the team needs a lot of people moved somewhere fast.

 

Appearance: Vinnie understands the whole spandex thing, he just doesn't think it looks right on him. His normal garb wouldn't look too out of place on the streets of NYC; A Tan trenchcoat ("You can carry a lot of stuff in the these pockets, they are huge! Look, a ream of paper, no joke!") Blue jeans, Red Chuck Taylor Converse, a simple shirt, and red tinted glasses ("To match the Chucks! See, I can accessorize.") His one nod to his new job is a kevlar vest under the shirt. While he can usually make sure he isn't around to hit, or that the attack just passes right through him, he has to know it's coming or already be out of phase. A surprise gunshot could really ruin his day.

Thank you kindly. I added a bit about his description, so that I could put some of his voice in there as well. I just had a small brain-tsunami, and out popped Vinnie.

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

Washington State - Orca

 

Donnie McCloud grew up watching the waters of Puget Sound. He'd always felt at peace with them, even when things in his life weren't at their best. His family were big proponents of activism and working for the good of the community, and as members of the Puyallup Tribal Council, they had worked tirelessly for the betterment of their people. His father had worked closely with those that had managed to get the Puyallup reimbursed for the land grab by the Port of Tacoma. You could say that the idea of fighting for the little guy was in Donnie's blood.

 

His great uncle had chuckled when the multi-million dollar settlement was announced and told Donnie "Thses things, this money, it means nothing. Look to the world around you to provide for you on a much deeper level." Donnie nodded, but thought the old man was half deluded. Money could buy everything after all.

 

As Donnie entered high school, things changed. He was less sheltered, and he found the full extremes of social cliques, running from open armed welcomes to derision and exclusion. Somewhat stunned that this was aparently the way of the world, he was in for a bigger shock when his great uncle was mugged on the streets of Tacoma.

 

Helping to nurse the old man back to health, Donnie spent all of his free time at the reservation. His great uncle begged Donnie to turn his back on the money and profit so easily offered and to seek inside, that which could bring him true peace. Partially to humor his ailing relative, Donnie followed his instructions.

 

A week went by before anyone saw Donnie again. His great uncle made a complete recovery, and would just smile knowingly, saying "The boy will be back when he's ready to come back. He's fine."

 

It's been difficult for Donnie to keep his new dual existance a secret. You see, on that fateful night, Donnie embraced the spirit of the sea. His people's totem of the Killer Whale personified this link, and Orca was born. In addition to popssessing vast superhuman strength and durability, he has the ability to function underwater for hours before needing to come up for air. His body has adapted to the ocean, and his swimming speed has been clocked at nearly 70 knots! In addition to these impressive physical gifts, Orca has some command of water itself. He can seemingly generate it from nothing in the form of blasts, or even a light freshwater trickle for a civilian on a hot day. He also can shape it a little, but this seems ot be a developing area of powers.

 

His costume seems to be part of him, appearing whenver Donnie transforms into the massive 9 foot tall Orca. In his normal form, Donnie looks like your typical 15 year old kid just trying to get through High School. He keeps his ID secret to the best of his ability, and the massive disparity in appearance is usually enough to throw folks off the trail.

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

At last! It took me a long time to get him done, but here he is . . . The Mountaineer! (Complete w/pic and background story for thiose who may have missed them the first time.)

 

He went to war a fresh-faced boy of eighteen years. Just a few weeks later he found himself wounded and alone, the rest of his unit dead or retreated. He lay on the cold, muddy ground, rain and darkness surrounding him, and waited for the end to come.

 

Three days later he awoke, weak, cold, and hungry, but alive. He found a friendly unit and joined up. Over the next three years he fought in numerous bloody engagements, including some of the key battles of the war. He was often injured, sometimes seriously, but never fatally. He always recovered.

 

He was there when the final shots were fired and the surrender orders were signed. That was in 1865, in Appomattox.

 

After the war, he returned to his hometown of Mill Creek, now in the newly formed state of West Virginia, and settled down. He married, raised children, ran a successful farm, and saw his children grow up and have children of their own. As he saw his wife, his children and his friends slowly growing older, he came to realize that he was hardly aging at all.

 

He grew a beard to hide his youthful face and tried to hide his unique condition as best he could. When his wife died, he decided it was time to move on, so he engineered his own ‘death’ as well. He moved to a new town and started a new life. It would be a pattern he’d follow several more times over the next 120 years.

 

He’s been doing this for so long that he doesn’t even remember his real name any more. Since the death of his wife, he’s fought in six major wars and more than a dozen smaller conflicts around the world. He’s fought at San Juan Hill, the Argonne, Iwo Jima, Incheon, Quang Tri, and Baghdad, as well as other locations in the Balkans, Africa, southern Asia, Central America, and the Middle East. But he’s recently decided to fight in a different kind of war—the war against crime, corruption, and terrorism. With his vast experience and apparent immortality as his main weapons, he’s taken up the fight for justice as the native son of West Virginia: THE MOUNTAINEER.
