  1. Oskolok When a meteor landed in the Ural Mountains a group of scientists were dispatched with a military escort to investigate. Amongst the soldiers was Corporal Marat Tsurov. The group discovered the meteor was a sphere of metal. As the scientists began to study it, the sphere suddenly began to shift and change shape before sending out metal shards that killed everyone except for Tsurov. He barely survived and after he was evacuated to a hospital a splinter of the metal was found to be lodged in his brain. As the medical staff attempted surgery to remove it, the metal expanded from the wound and formed protective armor around Tsurov and he quickly dispatched all those around him. The days that followed saw Tsurov clash with the military and Russian super team the Protectorate. He managed to hold his own with his nearly indestructible armor and ability to shape and control it into weapons. He would later begin terrorizing Eastern Europe under his new name Oskolok. His consciousness appears to have merged with the alien substance and is no longer fully human. He seeks to conquer those around him and recover the metal object that part of him emerged from. During his exploits he clashed with other members of the Eight in their activities and was bested by the hero several times. He reluctantly allied with the others and sees them more as pawns and means to an end than true allies.
  2. Ed Grim the Undead Detective Ed Grimaldi was a homicide detective working a case involving a series of ritualistic murders in New Orleans. He was betrayed and killed by his partner who was secretly in service of the killer they were investigating named Baron Kriminel. Kriminel then raised Grimaldi as a zombie servant. He acted as an undead soldier for Kriminel until a voudou bokor named Brother Semdi freed his soul. Ed stayed in control of his body as he still had the will to fight evil in this world instead of passing on to the next. He now acts a sort of private detective dealing with cases involving the occult. He has tangled with the likes of the Romany Witch Lavinia, the Cajun cannibal Crowe clan, Kristoff the Lycan King, and the grave robbing ghoul Rictus. He has learned to mitigate the complications that come with being an animated corpse through various magical techniques, but it is still a struggle. He faces these problems with a snarky attitude, gallows humor and wry wit.
  3. Bee Czar Graham Hawthorne III was born into wealth, largely due to the variety of products produced by the Hawthorne Honey brand his family created. However tragedy struck when a tainted line of product led to damaging lawsuits and a worse reputation to the public. Hawthorne was devastated by this both financially and mentally. He had paranoid delusions that competitors had sabotaged the company and began a twisted series of revenge attacks that were honey and bee based. Soon he would make his new villainous identity known to the world. He had some success building a small empire and acquired his girl friday in the form of Honey. However he would find defeat at the hands of his heroic rival over and over. Joining forces with his fellow villains seemed like the solution and he believes it was his master plan all along, despite the lack of facts to back that up. He is looked down upon by most of the Eight as a bit of a fool, but he has proven effective with his various honey traps and swarm of killer bee drones. Honey is actually believed to be the more dangerous and cunning of the pair, and is watched more closely by the rest of the team for the possibility of a takeover attempt.
  4. New team: Curse Breakers Minimum: 4 Individuals who have been cursed, but have managed to deal with it in some manner. They now dedicate themselves to helping others who have been cursed and battle evil curse users or creatures.
  5. Thunder Thighs Babette LaFleur was participating in a lumberjack competition in Montreal when she was caught under a falling tree and had her legs crushed. The superhero Mighty Mountie was making an appearance at the event and had attempted to save her, but was too late. While she was recovering she was approached by the Mighty Mountie's nemesis Doctor Sigmund Fiend. He twisted her mind into believing Mountie was to blame for her injuries. He promised her the chance for revenge and she took him up on his offer. Fiend replaced her legs with powerful cybernetics and she gained the ability to perform strong kicks, earth shaking stomps and to leap high in the air for a devastating dive bomb attack. After tangling with the Mountie unsuccessfully on many occasions she decided on a change of scenery and relocated to the United States. She worked solo for a short time before being recruited by Phantom Limb as one of the Legs for his team.
  6. Nice to see he is keeping busy after the Venture Bros cancelation. 😀
  7. I don't have an active campaign so these are just some general musings. Miss Innocent would be introduced after mind controlling an associate of one of the heroes. This would play out with the heroes eventually seeing her as someone to be reformed and turned to the side of good. Winterblade would be a minor villain that is bested by the heroes while committing a robbery but would develop into a rival of one hero in particular, especially if they are a speedster. He would keep popping up to antagonize the hero and their team possibly joining forces with other villains for strength in numbers. Professor Hyde would be a major villain in the campaign with Blackhead acting as his henchmen. He is responsible for other creations that plague the heroes over time or an epidemic in the main city where his drugs turn the population into monsters. He would also inflict one or more of the heroes with his drugs after capturing them, leading to a quest for a cure.
  8. Somehow that didn't occur to me. I could change it...but nahhh. 😀 Maybe that refers to a mission where she was accidentally swallowed by someone and her subsequent exit was unpleasant for both parties.
  9. I.B.S(Itsy Bitsy Spider) Rani Kapoor owned a small electronics firm that was driven out of business by Millstone Mechanical Systems. She broke into one of their facilities to commit sabotage, but ended up stealing plans for a protype four armed exoskeleton. She modified it and began a campaign of revenge against MMS. Satisfied after damaging the company she became a thief known by the name Steal Spider. One of her jobs for the criminal organization The Commission saw her acquire a size changing device. She decided to keep it for herself and incorporated it into her exoskeleton. The Commission did not take kindly to this and she ended on the run for her life. She joined Nursery Crimes to give her safety and strength in numbers. She can shrink herself down to the size of a small spider and was this renamed Itsy Bitsy Spider, a name she loathes. She acts as the team's infiltration expert and spy. Her exoskeleton has cable launchers, can climb walls, have great strength, and a variety of other gadgets to aid in her operations.
  10. These really hit the nostalgia button.
  11. Blood Rush Tommy Yuen was just trying to find an aid leading up to his college exams. Hyde gave him a drug that boosted his adrenaline output. It enhanced his senses, speed and strength to near superhuman levels. It also greatly increased his aggression. His addiction to the drug and his personality change drove away his friends and family and led him back to Hyde and his growing crew of underlings. He usually wears a black tracksuit with red stripes down the arms and legs and black fingerless gloves. When he is at his peak power the whites of his eyes go red as his blood vessels expand. He is usually the first into combat using his gymnastics background to flip around the enemy and land fast powerful strikes. He then gets clear so Blackhead can attack with his projectile blast on a weakened target. Unbeknownst to Yuen, one of his former friends made contact with the masked martial artist vigilante Shadowmoon to try to track him down and help him reform and get clean.
  12. Spring Shoe O'Sullivan A crackpot inventor and flimflam man who sold his "miraculous" gadgets and gizmos to the citizens of Clown Town. His gimmicks always end up failing in dangerous ways and would require KO Klown to come to the rescue of the poor suckers tricked by the conniving con man. He was inspired partly by the legend of Spring-heeled Jack and medicine show shysters. He was considered a minor character and only made one appearance in the shorts and returned briefly in the comics. He still managed to somehow break through the weakened dimensional barrier, but was easily defeated and hasn't been seen since. O'Sullivan wears a garish emerald green suit, bowler hat, a loud orange vest and bow tie. He is thin and sports slicked backed red hair and a handlebar mustache. As his nickname indicates his main gimmick is his spring-loaded shoes that allow him to leap great distances, but he would eventually lose control and careen around chaotically. He had other contraptions that were often Rube Goldberg type machines that ultimately performed mundane functions.
  13. Grimstone Miles Stone was a struggling actor attempting to make it big in Hollywood in the the 60s, but he never did. Instead he would find success as a producer and eventually started a successful studio in Milestone Pictures. A string of box office bombs in the mid 80s led him to make a gamble. He leveraged his remaining assets in create a suit of power armor and used it to create a hero to build a franchise around. He cast a young up and coming actor and former stuntman Cameron Cross in the role and Silverstone was born. Cross had some success against some low level street crime, but he needed a worthy nemesis. Stone had a similar suit of power armor made and wore it himself as Grimstone. He loved getting to use his acting skills as the over the top character and it fed his ego. He committed some minor crimes to build up his reputation before setting up a battle with Silverstone. Unfortunately the armor Cross wore malfunctioned and he was killed. The entire ruse was exposed and Stone was ruined and arrested. His reputation was destroyed. After serving his time he spiraled into depression and this became anger. He used some connections he had made in prison and set up a heist to retrieve his confiscated armor. He operated with mild success at first, but ultimately fell to various heroes. He ended up a bitter broken man when Timelapse made his offer. Now young and granted a second chance he created a new identity and returned to Hollywood to once again rule the industry. However, the game had changed. He was lost in the current world of entertainment, a young face, but a head full of old ideas and ideals. He was crushed. He turned back to the only thing he knew he could still do...play the villain.
  14. That is a pressed for time entry? Wow. 🙂👏
