    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.

    Dr. Helena St. Thomas was a volcanologist working in Italy when she got a little too close to a steaming-hot caldera, slipped, and fell in.  Her horrified colleagues tried to save her, but were unable to even retrieve her body.  Their theory was that her body must have gotten pulled under a rocky outcropping, but the truth was that Dr. St. Thomas was literally boiled alive and her life energy absorbed into the volcano. 
     
    She emerged months later, but she was unrecognizable.  Calling herself Pyroclast, she takes the form of a pyroclastic flow - a fast-moving cloud of hot gas and rock that can reach temperatures up to 1,000 degrees C.  She can also take a more diffuse, larger form (pictured) that, while not nearly as hot as her more compact form, is still plenty dangerous.  The agony of her ordeal has driven her insane, and she seems intent on causing widespread death and destruction wherever she can.

    These things are relative.  Barry's mother was killed, just about right before his eyes and his father was unjustly convicted for that murder and is still in prison.  Most of his opponents kill several people before Barry even gets on their tail.  Once he gets them, he commits kidnapping and holds them illegally in a private black site without even a toilet.  Except for the murderers he decided to just let run free as long as they didn't reveal Barry's secret identity, which was only a secret to his foster sister, who he is going to marry.  In pursuit of this noble cause he has been working respectively with another murderer (who was in fact the man who killed his mother), the man who built the weapons for the 3 murderers Barry let go, and a woman who is destined to create a few bodies of her own.  He was inspired to take up the cause by his friend from a neighbouring city who has made a career of out of murdering people who should live and not killing anyone who should die.   In pursuit of the cause he lured his father figure into being complicit in his numerous felonies.  Next episode he's going to fail to save his mother via time travel.  Don't whine about spoilers, we've already seen him fail.  
     
    That may not be as dark as Arrow, the series about the second-worst superhero in the world, a man who ruins everything he touches, but it's substantially darker than the character from a chick-flick who one day says "Y'know, I haven't been living up to my full potential.  In fact for some reason I'm wearing glasses I don't need just to look less attractive even though I haven't been a superhero yet and thus don't even have a secret identity to protect.  I think I'll save a few hundred lives before going back to my job working for one of the ladies from Sex and the City".

    The most mysterious of the superhero Minotaur's foes is Muerto, who counters Minotaur's strength with his own power to turn intangible.  He tends to attack unexpectedly while ranting about the way Minotaur's death is "overdue".  He does a fairly good job of pretending to be a supernatural personification of death.  Actually he's just a guy in a skull mask that contains mental controls over his intangibility circuitry, a deranged scientist seeking to avenge someone who died in the accident that transformed Minotaur.

    Humming to herself, Mirabile walks into police headquarters, her multi-coloured hair blowing in a wind that isn't there.  Once upon a time, being here would have worried her, but that was before she'd been exposed to the custom-made designer drug that could unlock her hidden potential.  One cop tries to intercept her, but gets distracted by those bugs under his skin.  She leaves him scratching furiously.  She's here on the business of The Cause after all and Everywoman wouldn't be happy if she didn't make it to the meeting.  
     
    Upstairs, fat old men are getting together after all to decide the fate of those people in the streets.  They're afraid they'll be thrown down, and they're right to be afraid.  So they'll call out the cops and soldiers, the guns and the tanks.  A little slaughter to "restore order".  Well not all of us want your "order".  There are two guards on the door.  One of them decides his clothes are on fire so he takes them off of course.  Another starts talking to an invisible friend.  Daytripper smiles and steps inside.  She has some fat old men to loosen up.  The cops will be back to their normal fascist selves in a few minutes.  The ones who call the shots will take rather longer to come down.  They'll still be chasing the imaginary butterflies tomorrow.  That should give The Cause plenty of time to do it's work in this city and others.

    <transcript of conversation recorded from a bug in the earphones of a Galactic Arms Inc. spy in Combined Defences Inc. we do not believe he managed to pass on the information to his paymasters, nor that CD is aware we have this tape> S: "So they're going to do it.  They're going to attack Planet 616 with their new suits.  After they conquer it the Emporer will pretend that the attack was his idea, just to add territory and pretend he's in control." M: "But that's treason!  Surely Galactic Arms can't just start wars to sell it's buggy, overpriced powersuits?" S:  "They've staked so much on this contract, and the Nine Gods know that the more tests are done the more the new Demigod suits will be shown to be slower, harder to maintain and have less endurance than our Streetfighters.  Combat against a low-tech world like, what was it called 'terra'? is the only test it might pass with flying colours." X:  "What if they faced stiffer opposition?  If they got a bloody nose they'd have to admit their suits are rubbish, and the Empire would finally select the better option." M:  "If you mean these 'superheroes' I doubt there are enough of them to make a difference.  Besides if they did lose to them, they'd just claim the superheroes weren't a fair test, that they were too powerful." X:  "But what if they lost to our Streetfighters, particularly in the hands of untrained natives?  Our suits are intuitive enough that even without training they are effective.  These creatures have a natural talent for extreme violence.  They will be facing, Guard units, famous for selecting only the most politically connected incompetents.  Even outnumbered, our suits would still have a chance." M:  "While the Streetfighters aren't judged good enough for the army, we'll never be allowed to sell them to others, particularly not a world that hasn't even achieved starflight.  Besides they couldn't even use  the automanual." X:  "There are several 616ers in mercenary or bandity units amoung the starlanes.  The automanual can use over 6 million forms of communication 'English' the most common language on 616 is one of them.  Presumably that's why the raiders who broke in here took them, because they could sell them to people on their homeworld." M:  "Are you insane?  Nobody will believe that raiders broke into a facility like this, took 3 prototypes and didn't even kill a single guard." S:  "That reminds me, I have to go now.  Those birds I was telling you about, the ones that cost me sleep ever night?  I've found their nests and I'm going to shooting." M: and X: together "Good hunting then.".   <footsteps, then sounds of high energy weapons fire and several screams.  One of the screams is from the wearer of the earphones, transmission is then cut off>   In September 20__ a group of soldiers from the ____ Empire landed on Earth with the intention of causing an incident to justify war and demonstrate the usefuless of the new Demigod powersuits.  Their officers were bribed by the Galactic Arms corportation.  They attacked a small township and military base and were achieving easy victory.  Several of the townsfolk resisted with hunting weapons, naturally these were ineffective.  However three prototype powersuits emerged from a nearby cave, walking under automatic mode.  Each approached one of the resisting townsfolk and offered a "Free Trial" of the new technology.  With these suits the Demigod suits were defeated, although it was a close run thing.     Military officials then demanded that the suits be turned over.  The suits however only recognised their users as legitimate owners.  The townsfolk argued that the powersuits counted as "weapons for efficiency or preservation of a well-regulated militia".  Since one of the things that militias are supposed to do is repel invasions and since the suits in the hands of a local militiamen* did this, clearly the qualify.  The local military commander decided he didn't want a firefight, which the townsfolk were clearly edging towards.  He pretended he had no idea who had the suits or where they went.  This despite one of them clearly being his cousin.  Thus was born "The Iron Militia", consisting of "Hardhead", "Fastshot" and "Sniper" or Ed, Harry and Cletus as they're know around town.     The suits have limited self-direction abilities.  They can follow simple commands like "Hide", "Come here", "Suit up", "Shoot the guy in red" etc.  They can run about 200 kph, are relatively stealthy, firepower and armor are about twice as good as a modern Earth tank  and they have good jumping capability (500m+).  They do require some maintaince but are capable of synthesising their own spares from base metals and plastics.  Full instructions on how to maintain them are in the automanual.    The IM has so far not done too much crimefighting, but have fought with several villains that came to the area to steal from the army base or lie low.     *  Technically all ablebodied males between 18 and 45 are part of the militia in the USA.

    He calls himself "Captain Star".  But most other people call him "Sucker Punch" because of how he made his debut, walking up to a supervillain and laying out the criminal with one unexpected punch while the bad guy was still laughing at the kid.  Captain Star/Sucker Punch has the most vanilla power set imaginable, with boosted strength and durability (and a phenomenal leaping ability from his strength versus his weight), gained from a brief close encounter with aliens dumping their garbage before leaving.  But he makes up for it with attitude and his incongruous appearance.

    Monsieur Vaillant, aka Mr. Valiant--Jacques Moreau, an All-American super-patriot from an alternate reality where North America was largely settled by the French.  The Americans declared their independence from King Louis in 1776, and with British aid the revolutionary armies led by Georges Beauchamp won their freedom.  When Napoleon's armies tried to reconquer the continent in the War of 1812, the Americans fought with all their might and defeated Napoleon, leading to his downfall.  Ever since then Les Etats-Unis have stood as a beacon of freedom, giving hope to all who would resist tyranny and oppression.
     
    Possessing the strength of twenty men, immunity to all but the greatest of harm, and "the courage of America's teeming millions,"  Monsieur Vaillant is the embodiment of America's esprit de combatif, and wherever innocents are threatened, whenever liberty is endangered, he is there to protect the innocent, destroy those who would bring them harm, and set wrong to right.
     
    Liberté!  Egalité! Justice!  Vivé Monsieur Vaillant!

    Reaver:  George Temple was nothing more than a barely out of high-school museum security guard until the new acquisition from a battlefield archaeological dig began talking to him, telling him how much power was there for the taking...  Since he stole the eerie red sword, he has crossed blades with Jack Riddle, Scarborough Fair and the Brides of Adrian Messenger but so far has managed to retain his link to the sword while working as a super-mercenary.  
     
    Powers:  Bullet and beam deflection, Regeneration of other injuries (but with an accompanying compulsion to draw blood), psychic link to his sword so he always knows where it is and can use it with expert skill, limited precognition, armour piercing melee attack.  He also wears some body armour.
