Atomic City Sentry!- Claiming to come from Oak Ridge, home of the A-Bomb, Atomic City Senry certainly looks it. His eyes glow with strange atomic energies and he can produce devastating bursts of force, heat, and radiation. He wears an orange costume with strange plates like body armor. Whether that's JUST a costume, or something meant to help him control/contain his energies is as yet unknown. Most folks feel uncomfortable standing near him but he takes it with surprisingly good humor. The US govt has more than once considered bringing him in for study, but have had little luck.

 

His battle cry?

"Gone fission!"

Appalach

 

A Earth and Plant Controller who named himself after the Appalachian Mountains. There are many theories about his origin, from "illegal experiment broken loose" over "druid hermit" too "ancient Indian Magic". He himself has not given any clue to wich one is right, only saying that "this secret will reveal itself, as the Valley is revealed by the River" (aka Erosion).

Mockingbird- is actually M'kn Br'd, an alien from the other side of the galaxy trapped here by a warp engine breach. M'kn , like many of its people, is a natural shapeshifter and can transform down to the cellular level. M'kn's people don't always stick to one sex, and because of this, many in the state believe there are two Mockingbirds, one male, and one female and no one realizes Mockingbird is an alien. The truth is it just depends on what mood Mockingbird is in that day which sex it takes. While it can be a prankster, M'kn has truly grown to love its new home and is happy to be a hero to it.

Mr. Nebbish has the power of social invisibility. While not actually invisible, he sends out a powerful psychic message that equates to "ignore me," "I was never here," or "nothing to see here." As one might expect, he was able to turn this into a fairly successful criminal career. He found that unsatisfying, though, and decided that maybe using his power for the right side of the law might give him greater personal fulfillment. He doesn't fight, though, so it would have to be just the right situation. As a member of Mask, Inc. he found a purpose. He learned to extend his field to others which he uses as an extractor, somebody to get people out of tight situations.

Wipe is a very limited Cyberpath. He doesn't control machinery or computers, but he can clear their programs, wipe their memory, and so on until they're essentially blank slates. Even the best computer experts can't seem to retrieve the info as it is simply no longer there. Unless you're an AI, this isn't a very frightening power. So Wipe has also studied a bit of hand to hand, and has become an excellent second story man and lock pick so he can get to the machines that hold data on the heroes.

"You say you had to duck out in the middle of Dr. Kiloblast's attack on the offices of the Daily World?  To return an overdue movie rental?  (pause)  Okay, seems reasonable."

 

"You're a freelance photojournalist who somehow always gets pics of Arachno-boy.  Including pictures that look like they were taken upside-down from up in the rafters.  (pause)  Wow, what incredible luck and photographic skill you must have!"

 

In each case, Daydream Believer simply stood off to the side and smiled at a job well done.

 

Debbie Verlander has been a mentalist since she was a teenager.  She can't read minds, or create mental illusions, or make people follow her commands.  She can, however, make people believe that what they're told (no matter how unlikely) is the God's-honest truth, and can also make people ignore the seemingly obvious.  Of course, as a teenager this came in very handy, and helped Debbie avoid a lot of groundings and other trouble from the 'rents.  However, it didn't help her at all when she was nearly killed by falling debris during a super-battle at the local mall.  Only the quick actions of Quarterflash saved her from getting squashed flat.  Unfortunately, his mask was ripped loose and he was knocked unconscious by falling debris.

 

As the villain escaped, people gathered around, snapping cell phone pictures and video of the fallen hero.  Debbie thought quickly.  He had saved her life, and now it was her chance to save his.  "Wow, it's a good thing the real Quarterflash was around!" she said.  "This kid in a homemade Quarterflash costume tried to save me, but the real Quarterflash saved both of us!"  She pointed toward the other end of the mall.  "I think he went that way!"  As everybody looked away, she helped a stunned Quarterflash get to this feet and spirited him away before anybody could begin asking questions.

 

Ever since that day, Debbie knew that her powers, though not impressive, could help others continue performing heroic activities without fear of reprisals.  She took the name Daydream Believer, letting people speculate that she can create mental illusions of some sort.

Occassinally a hero needs to retire his alterego, which means he has to live as his masked identity until he can set something else up. Imagine what would happen if everyone knew who Quarterflash was. He would lose his scholarship at WFU, have to quit his job, lose everything.

 

The Financier sets up a real identity somewhere else and makes sure the hero has a civilian job that he is suited for in his new identity.

Harvey Gilvory came across a blueprint of Binder's clasic glue gun. He studied it for industrial use, but he realized that with a little tweaking he had the basis of a weapon system where he could fire packs of glue that would immobilize any opponent. Calling himself the Gel Pack, Harvey joined the Pens as fire support.

James Ardent didn't expect much when he and his friends went on vacation in the desert. He certainly didn't expect to fall into a cave and find a great archeological site. At least that's what they told him it was later on. He didn't see anything to get excited about. Some old broken pottery, a stone sort of like an altar, a stone table, and an old stone chisel laying on top of it. It struck him as odd there was no dust on it, So he pocketed it before leaving.

 

Later he imagined himself as one of the first primitive writers using it, and playfully tapped it on the bench he was sitting on. The bench immediately shattered. He soon found that anything that wasn't stone could easily be broken by it. Stone wasn't shattered, however an even odder thing occurred when he tried it on stone. He wrote the word dog, and suddenly the image of a dog appeared. Thinking it was a nearby dog, he wondered if he could find it by doing it again. This time a hand appeared pointing off. James followed it, and found a dog. Though it wasn't the same one from before.

 

Now with the ancient magic of the chisel the Word is ready to write a new chapter in the book of  justice.

The Easter Brigade 5 members

 

Many people thing Dr. Malos is a madman. Their right. Dr. Malos thinks he's a genius. He's right. So it would surprise no one when he poured a bunch of chemicals on a rabbit. Exposed it to the strange radiation of a meteor, and zapped it with a lighting bolt. Then he made it bite him. Convinced he would soon gain superanimal powers he waited for the supersences, superspeed, and super libido. But nothing happened. Blaming the rabbit he sold it to a restaurant. It never arrived.

 

The creature that was the rabbit broke out of the truck enroute. Growing to the height of 4 feet counting the ears, it also morphed its paws to semi human fingers. Confused and frightened it hopped off, and ran into a group of kids. One of them asked if he was the Easter Bunny. Not knowing what that was but needing a place to hole up he said he was. Over the next few days he learned about the world around him. And he decided to stop telling the kids he was the Easter Bunny. But he didn't want to disappoint them too much so he told them he was the Easter Bunny's bodyguard Bouncer.

 

One of the kids asked if that meant he beat up badguys. Bouncer said yes, and that was how he found himself using his super speed and powerful hind legs to beat up people in the local gang bangers hideout. After this Bouncer mentioned he really should have some weapons, and the kids presented him with his basket of weapons. Of course Bouncer was more hoping for guns or a flamethrower. Still the brightly colored eggs can blind people, the jelly beans can trip people up, and truth be told he rather enjoys ramming a rotten egg on someones nose.

 

Overtime he ran into others who agreed to work with him. He wanted a team name more along a the lines of the Murder Death squad, but when a six year old girl looks like shes gonna cry if you don't take her suggestion what can you do. So the Easter Brigade was formed, and now when Peter Cotton calls the bad guys are sure to hear. "You are so getting bounced."

Oh I'm not picky. As the team name is Easter Brigade you should err on the side of Easter, but unless someone objects I see no reason not to let another bunny slip through.

[Badger]

Ooh, ooh I have to do a "bunny".

 

Known just as Bunny, she was formerly one of those playboy bunnies from the early 60s era.  One day when someone got fresh, she discovered she had a superpower.  Super strength actually, when she slapped him through the wall.

 

Using her "outfit" as her superhero costume she fought some local supervillains for a few months.  Until one with a time travel motif accidentally sent her into 50 years into the future, when he hit the wrong lever and blew his own machine up.   (She and him were thought destroyed, until she popped up in present day. One wonders if he will sometime, but time travel mishaps are funny things)

 

Somewhat oblivious, she decided to just take up her adventures in the present day.  Advice to the lechers, both hero and villain: Dont get fresh!  Really, just dont!

[csyphrett]

I wanted to do a bunny. Guess I have to go with Easter.

 

The Egg Man joined the Easter Brigade with his special power of breaking open and unleashing a spray of molten shrapnel at a target. They usually use him to blow up vehicles, and cut their way through barriers.

Well, I was just quicker on the draw.  I'm not sure what playboy bunny has to do with Easter other than the bunny motif.  But, I am sure the teenage fanboys wouldnt complain.

 

By the way, I got another egg-themed one coming up.

 

 

Dr. Cadbury isnt a little insane.  He is a lot insane.  Nevertheless most mad scientists turn to villainy.   But, he devoted his insanity to good, using his creations to help the people.  What does the good doctor do?  Well, he has created drones the size and shape of Easter eggs (and colored like Easter eggs, he had to have the Easter flair, you know).  He controls them via cybernetic implant in his brain.   In battle, he will usually bring a minimum 6-8 with him (and depending on the severity of the threat and campaign as many as 20).  The egg-drones abilities include laser fire, various entanglements (netting, cables, sticky stuff).  And 3 or more can unite their abilities to provide points to an energy shield to protect him or a teammate.  They also can provide some reconaissance whether in battle or outside of it. So dont freak out if you see an Easter egg fly by....unless you are a criminal of course.
