Here's another superteam from elsewhere on Champions Earth -- Sabra Force, a group of native-born
Israeli metahumans who protect their homeland from supervillains and terrorists. The three known mem-
bers of the group are, from left to right:
 
 

 
 
Samson, the leader of the group, possesses superhuman strength (more than enough to lift 100 tons)
and -- due to an energy field generated by his body's cells -- virtual invulnerability to most forms of damage;
Delilah, a young woman who has the power to "seduce" others (men only) into doing her bidding, through
the use of mind-control pheremones; and Golem, a man who has the power to transform himself into an
eight-foot tall humanoid composed of "living granite" possessing incredible strength and resistance to
damage.
 
(EDIT: yes, I know that, strictly speaking, the original Delilah wasn't an Israelite, but a Philistine; given the
particular power set of Sabra Force's sole female member, however, Delilah was the only code name
that made sense.)

The Home Guard, a superhero team for the UK of the Champions Universe:
 
 

 
 
From left to right, the membership of the Home Guard is as follows:
 
John Bull, the leader of the team and a mystical embodiment of the British Isles; Lady Brittania, a woman possessing
superhuman strength, speed, and the power of flight; Paladin, a technological genius who wears a power-armor battle-
suit of his own design and wields a sword capable of generating an energy-field around itself; Harrier, a young woman
possessing the power of winged flight and retractable claws of an unknown alloy that can slice through virtually any
known substance; and, finally, Arcanis, a master of the mystic arts and occult lore of the British Isles.
 
The Home Guard also has a counterpart which exists on the alternate Earth known as British World.

A creepy-looking superhero for Champions and Dark Champions campaigns -- the Dhamphir:
 
 

 
 
Like a certain other "daywalker", Dhamphir has all of the powers of a vampire, but none of the
weaknesses -- which makes it even easier to scare the bejesus out of the criminal element of
his home city.
 
And he's one of the good guys...

Speaking of Egyptian World, here's the newest superhero for that alternate Earth -- Bennu:
 
 

 
 
Like Sekhmet, Bennu is a victim of one of the Black Pharoah's twisted genetic experiments --
in this case, to create an anti-Sekhmet weapon -- but the psychological conditioning which
was supposed to make him completely loyal to his creator failed, instead making him yet
another enemy of the Black Pharoah.
 
In addition to flight and the ability to project flame-like energy blasts from his hands, Bennu
has one other power which was completely unexpected by his creator -- the ability to heal
any injury to himself nearly instantaneously, even if that injury results in his death. That in
itself makes him a subject of great interest to the Black Pharoah, who still seeks to reclaim
both of his creations.

Here's another superhero of Egyptian World, one that the people of that alternate Earth don't
even know exists -- Doctor Ptah:
 
 

 
 
Possessed of extraordinary mental gifts -- both mundane and psionic -- Doctor Ptah is the reason
that both Sekhmet and Bennu are not only free, but still alive as well (the Black Pharoah had put
self-destruct devices in both of them which could be remotely triggered; Doctor Ptah was able to
remove them using his powers, as well as to undo their psychological conditioning). He is also the
secret mentor of those superheroes who oppose the Black Pharoah and his schemes for world
domination, as well as being a master of the sciences.
 
His archenemy is an evil extradimensional being who is the secret power behind the Black Pharoah,
a being that has taken the appearance of one of the ancient Egyptian gods -- a being who calls
himself Lord Set. It is because of Lord Set's presence on Egyptian World that Doctor Ptah has kept
his existence a secret from its people; as long as neither Lord Set or his "client" know of his exist-
ence, they can't take steps to counter his activities against them (there's also the fact that his small
physical stature isn't really suited for physical combat, and wouldn't last very long in a fight if his
psionic abilities were unable to stop an adversary).

The Ultimate Soldier battlesuit, Mk.III:
 
 

 
 
The most advanced version yet of a battlesuit originally created during WWII, the Ultimate Soldier Mk.III
bears only a faint resemblance to its predecessors. Where the original and Mk.II versions relied mostly
upon larger hand-held versions of autocannons or single-shot light artillery pieces which were used
much like submachineguns or rifles (and, in the case of the Mk.II, shoulder-mounted rocket launchers),
the Mk.III makes use of palm-mounted plasma projectors. The projectors' plasma bolts can be set for
any power level required by the suit's operator, from a non-lethal stun blast (at minimum power) to a
bolt capable of destroying a Main Battle Tank (at maximum power); these can also be used against
metahuman opponents.
 
The suit's secondary weapons are the twin shoulder-mounted missile launchers, which hold a total of
four missiles each in a ready-fire mode; an additional four missiles per launcher are carried and can
be loaded and ready to fire within a short time, once the first set of missiles have been fired. Each of
the missiles carries an antiarmor warhead equal to that of a TOW missile, and rely upon laser guidance
either from the suit's operator or a soldier with a laser designator.
 
Another weapon used by the Mk.III is a hand-held, multi-round rocket launcher with a total of 50 rockets;
these rockets can be fired in salvos of ten rockets each, and represents the suit's primary long-range
offensive capability. The laser designator which is used to "paint" targets for the antiarmor missiles is
mounted on the rocket launcher.
 
The Mk.III also has an impressive set of both active and passive defenses, of which the primary active
defense is its ECM suite, which scrambles enemy targeting systems, making it difficult to hit the suit
with guided weapons. Its passive defenses include its ceramic/metal armored shell, as well as a pair
of "hot smoke" generator/projectors mounted in the suit's legs. These projectors work by surrounding
the suit with a cloud of smoke, in which burning white phosphorous is suspended; the heat generated
by the white phosphorous creates a zone of heat around the suit that prevents IR-sensitive visual gear
from detecting it by its own thermal signature.
 
The suit also has enhanced sensory capabilities, allowing the operator to see in infrared and ultraviolet
light, as well as having low-light vision; ultra-sensitive auditory sensors allow the operator to hear even
the faintest sounds.
 
Its life-support system is capable of functioning for six hours before needing to be replenished, and is
NBC (Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical) environment-capable.
 
A built-in flight pack allows the suit to bypass terrain that would otherwise be impossible for it to traverse,
even with the great strength that the suit's actuators provide it (enough to lift 50 tons under optimal con-
ditions).

Antares, a Russian cosmonaut turned superhero:
 
 

 
 
Antares has the power to grow from his normal 6' to a height of 60' in a matter of seconds; his strength
increases as he grows, enabling him to lift up to 200 tons at his maximum height.
 
He considers himself a patriot; accordingly, his costume was designed to resemble the Russian flag,
with the addition of a large, 8-pointed red star on the chest panel.

Her outfit's probably different from the original design; unfortunately, while I probably have
the original design on my laptop, I can't access it to compare the two.
