G.A.I.A. (Genetic Alteration Imitation Adenovirus)- a self aware virus designed by Greenpeace to terraform the world and infect those humans not immune to the virus (like Greenpeace of course) by turning them into plant/tree hybrids.
 
Of course G.A.I.A. has other plans...

Some heroes fight Crime for a sense of Justice. To protect the innocents. To avenge a past wrong. Because they think that with great power comes great responsibility.
Reeda Gianta, aka the Crimson Women, always fights villains with a smile. Because she just loves a good fight more then anything else.
 
She has the competetive, outgoing and challenge seeking mindset of a martial Artist with Red Energy blaster powers.
A lot of people think she is a bit too agressive towards villains and she seems bored with fighting any mooks (unless they proove challenging). Some people even think she is close to becomming an Anti-Hero, but so far all those predictions prooved wrong. While civilians are not the first thing on her mind, she still tries to keep fights away from them. If only so she can cut loose more, wich might result in more property damage.
Her powers also include a more then healthy appetite and aside from combat she seems a bit dense and naive at times, wich gave her the moinker of a "female Son Goku". It sticks around. She just ignores all request to make the "Kame-Hame-Wave" using her powers.
 
This is largely based on these two interpretations of power girl:
 
 

How about this young lady?
 

Master Disaster was the kind of scientist who thought that it was a good idea to experiment on his infant daughter, Ava to empower her with vast destructive abilities to generate heat and explosive shockwaves.  He had turned her into a living breathing disaster.  Sadly the government's approach to handling the threat was less than optimal and when she finally broke free of the drugs and restraints she went on exactly the kind of rampage they feared as Ava Destruction and has fought California Girl several times.  

Star Force--Juliet Riley is the great-grandaughter of Bradford "Buzz" Bradley, better known to the world as the legendary hero Super Star.  Why the "Might Of Antares" chose to manifest itself in Juliet after skipping the previous two generations is unknown, just as is the reason why Bradley was chosen to bear the power originally.
 
Able to move and fly at exceptionally fast speeds, Star Force is also capable of wielding "red giant energy" for offense and defense (energy beams, energy shields, etc.)  She also possesses "star-sight"--the ability to see clearly over tremendous distance.  She has recently discovered she can turn intangible when moving at high speed--something her great grandfather theorized (but never attempted) could mean she is able to fly faster than light itself.

Of course it does, it's my high school yearbook picture. 

Is it just me or does this guy look vaguely familiar ..?

Ordered some commissions from Jacob Blackmon recently. First up is the brother/sister duo of Zip & Zap:
 

Next up is Bobcat, followed by Leech:
 

Got a few new things to share. First up is 3 images from Joe Singleton. First is The Torch, a public domain villain who fought The Black Terror:
 

 
Kestrel, an alien hero:
 

Last, but not least, the scumbag pi with telepathy known as Eavesdrop:
 

I'm working on a group of golden age villains. Take the basic idea of a sentai team (ie each member wears a costume of a specific color), have their costumes be zoot suits, and have them wear lucha libre style masks. The first member is on page 203, drawn by Anthony Green. I doled out the other 4 to 2 other artists, Dan Houser and Juan Paolo Manitata. Dan sent me sketches of his two pieces yesterday:
 

Recolored Kestrel:
 

 
His enemy Vulturo:
 

 
Cataclysmus:
 

Eh, it tastes good and makes life a little happier for a moment. You can eat nothing but tofu and wheat grass but you're still not going to live forever. It just might seem that longer

She reminds of Madame Rouge. You don't see many "serious" stretching types. Her multipower has a really nice suite of power stunts. A very flexible character...

At least we die happy.

mmmmm librarians....

made from real vegetarians

Thank you!
 
For the next round:
 

The Rules: First one person posts an image that is or could be a superhuman. Then others submit a name, powers and basic background. This doesn't have to include Champions mechanics or be in the Champions universe.
 
Once three submission are done or a week has passed then the person that posted the original image picks the best description.
 
Then that poster can post an image or pass it on. Then the first person to post an image takes their turn.
 
Hopefully this will be fun and provide some inspiration for NPCs if nothing else.
 
First Image
 

I'll give it a go:
 
Name: Elf-shot
Secret ID: Vri'mrrah
Origin: Dimensionally-displaced Alien
Powers:
Innately small size.
Long lifespan.
Extremely fast winged flight.
Capable of speed bursts, blurring into near invisibility for short periods.
Weapon: The Thorn, fires "elf-shot," which has varying effects depending on where the target is hit:
Head: memory loss
Heart: effect similar to a love potion
Arm or Leg: paralysis of the extremity
Anywhere else: deep, deathlike slumber
 
Vri' is a rebellious adolescent of a long-lived race that occupies a concordant but higher-vibrational dimension which overlaps our own at certain loci, many of which have been marked in ancient times with stone monoliths, earth mounds, and the like. She recently fled her home dimension to avoid an arranged marriage, responsibility, and bill collectors.
 
She met her super team while out one night making crop circles using the wake of her flight. She hit it off immediately with the adventurers (who were investigating said crop circles), and joined their team. She provides support and creates chaos on the opposition's side of the battlefield, as well as scouting.

Name: Lady Morpheus
 
No one knows who she is and where she comes from but her one woman crusade of punishment is unlike most heroes and vigilante she doesn't attack physically but strikes in the mind, haunting her target's deepest dreams and darkest nightmares. They are drawn into a psychic landscape where Lady Morpheus seems to have absolute control and subjected to harrowing tests that take them to edge of  sanity. Those that learn the lessons the Lady teaches return, shaken, often wracked with crushing guilt and regret for their sins usually turning themselves in to the authority though some of have committed suicide, usually publicly and in a gory painful fashion as if seeking penance, crying out to the Lady for forgiveness which is the main reason the world even knows of her existence. Others are driven permanently mad.
 
Lady Morpheus' exploits aren't without question though. Some of her targets don't seem to be truly guilty at least not of anything worth suffering they endure while others seemingly much worse seem to have little effect. Petty thieves may immolate themselves in atonement while con man that have left families destitute and homeless may only seem to suffer some sleepless night. Exactly what criteria the lady uses is unknown.  Her target profile favors those who abuse others: violent thieves, domestic and child abuse and violent sex offenders, pimps, pushers, those that prey on others but sometimes her targets include prostitutes, addicts, etc, the victims of who she usually punishes.
 
Her powers invoke the manipulation of dreams and memories. She can draw sleeping targets into what amount to an illusionary world where she can make almost anything happen but usually draws on subjects and material from her targets made for inspiration. The one thing she can't seem to do is make more than cosmetic changes to her target such as making younger or older, even as much as gender sway but their essential self remains the same. She also has a physical form in the dreamscape which is quite powerful but can be physically assault and while possessed of sharp senses and supernal means of awareness isn't omniscient;. She can be fought but is more than a match for her essentially normal, mortal targets. Her capabilities in the real world are completely unknown.
 
Notes: Lady Morpheus is a mutant, a psychic vampire that feeds on guilt. She can sense a person guilt and draws on it while she torments them in the dream world. In reality she is demure mousy women that wouldn't drawn any attention, frail and withdrawn that works in a bookstore. Though she tries to use her abilities to do some good her power is also a curse She needs to feel on guilt and she will die. Normal food does not sustain her and the more she holds off the more her hunger grows, sometimes causing her to lash out at people she wouldn't normally target out of desperation. This starting to wear at her sanity and her conscious to the point she may snap entirely but perhaps she can still be saved.
 
Edit: Not the best, but I wanted to at least make an effort.

Okay, let's see what people come up with for this instead.  (Or is she some established character too?)

Its funny I'd have no problem with the outfit as a superhero costume but it just feels so gaudy as a "uniform".

The Abominable. A 100' ft creature made up of nanite infested snow and the absorbed consciousnes of several Australian mountain climbers.
