LANCE ROSS

Lance David Ross was always the center of attention not only for his looks, but also for his voice.
He was a celebrate student in Concert Choir in high school. Girls would follow him everywhere
and swoon over him like a Hollywood celebrity. During high school graduation when he got to the
podium to take his diploma he shouted, “Everyone get naked!” in the microphone. Nine-five
percent of those in attendance did what he told them to do. Lance fled scene. It wasn’t long
before G.I.G.M.A. and U.S. S.C.R.E.T. were looking for him. Michael Thorn found Lance living on
the street, supported by homeless underlings. He cleaned Lance up and introduced him to his
band mates but it was Harmony and Melody who that really caught his attention. They taught
him how to use his voice and his other gifts. The moment Lance took to the microphone and
performed before an audience, he was hooked. Now Lance thinks he’s a gift to all women. He’s
self-centered, feels superior to others, and wants others doing his bidding. He believes someday
people will worship him like a deity and make statues of him. He sees other super beings as a
threat to his divine status if they don’t bow down and behold his glory. Michael is the only one
able to check his ego and he knows it.

ELECTRO

Electro doesn’t talk about his past. He simply came to the meeting after being discovered by
Michael Thorn. The other band members were not comfortable with him at first, until he started
playing his electric guitar. The riff he could play on his guitar was extraordinary. He also revealed
why he went by the name Electro. It didn’t take long for Electro to warm up to band mates.
However, his anger was something to witness. He also proved to be excessively cruel, living a
fight, and enjoy hurting people, especially police and authority figures. His static powers are one
of the bands highlighted special effects. Electro is notorious for his hard partying and being a
lecher. Micheal Thorn on several occasion has warned Electro to stop with the rough stuff,
because not everything can be solved by Lance’s powers of persuasion or Mack’s magic.

MACK BLAKE

At 51 years old, he’s the old man of the group. During his youth, he was a super villain who
fought many super hero and heroine using his magic to cause mischief and mayhem. Many made
the mistake of thinking his instruments were the source of his magic. In truth, all he need was to
sing or make music out of anything to cast his spells. After being retired for nearly 15 years,
Michael Thorn found him and convinced him to join his band. Abe liked their music and came up
with various ideas to conceal the band’s real identity. He also loved Lance’s vocals and Electro’s
guitar playing. While he’s not a young man anymore, he still loves to play and hang out with the
younger guys. He also loves to seduce young pretty woman. Every so often he breaks out the
fiddle and once again takes on his super villain persona which requires Michael Thorn to interfere
to prevent him from making the fans be forced to dance.

Real Name: Abe Randal
Alias: Professor Leo Amati, Giggle Fiddle.
Occupation: Electric bassists for Sound Collective
Alignment: Aberrant
Power Category: Mystic Study (Wizard)
Experience Level: 9th level
Hit Points: 52 S.D.C.: 30
P.P.E.: 300
Appearance: For a man in his early 50s, he is very tall and has a graceful build. He has
deep-set eyes the color of amethysts. His luxurious, straight, gray hair is very short and is worn
in an attractive, impractical style. His skin is ruddy. He has a weak chin. His wardrobe is odd, and
is mostly purple and green. He wears wire-rimmed glasses.
Attributes: I.Q. 20, M.E. 16, M.A. 22, P.S. 12, P.P. 15, P.E. 13, P.B. 17, Spd. 18.
Age: 51, Sex: Male, Height: 6 foot, 3 inches (1.9 m), Weight: 197 lbs
(88.6 kg).
Insanity: Power by Association. Mack can only cast spells while he’s playing music or
singing. It doesn’t matter what instrument he plays or song he sings. His spells are cast in the
form of music or song. He cannot simply utter an incantation.
Wizard Abilities: Astral Projection (6 P.P.E.), Familiar Link (Parrot/Maestro), Sense
Enchantment 90 feet (27. 4 m) 69%, Sense Supernatural Evil 90 feet (27.4 m), and Sense Magic
120 feet/36.6 m (4 P.P.E).
Spell Magic: Agony (20), Animate Object (15), Befuddle (6), Blinding Flash (1), Blind/Mute
(50), Charm (12), Cold Wall (15), Compulsion (20), Constrain Being (20), Crimison Wall of
Lictalon (5000!), Energy Disruption (15), Escape (8), Extinguish Fire (4), Faeries’ Dance (55),
Fear (5), Fuel Fire (5), Hallucination (30), Havoc (50), Id Barrier (600), Increase Weight (4),
Levitation (5), Life Drain (25), Love Charm (40), Mystic Shield (10), Paralysis: Lesser (5), Repel
Animals (70), Summon and Control Animals (125), Summon Fog (140), Summon and Control
Storm (240), Trance (7), Weightlessness (6), and Wisps of Confusion 40).
Draw P.P.E. Special: When he needs to, he will draw additional P.P.E. from his band mates
who willing donate it (up to 70% from an individual, or 50% from each band member while
everyone is performing). During a concert, he can draw from the audience and for a very short
period, hold and use 50% more P.P.E. than his normal maximum 13 melee rounds. He can also
use the audience to channel ever greater amount of P.P.E. (up 5400) by using himself as a
connecting conduit to re-channel the energy to power a spell (ritual) that requires immense
mystic energy, provided he does so quick-within one melee round (15 seconds). Such a
channeling of mystic might requires the band to do a complete song (at least two minutes or
more) during which time Mack is completely helpless and unaware of anything but the magic he
is trying to complete. In the case of this magical concert, the entire song is designed to gather,
build, draw upon and focus the P.P.E. for one specific purpose (magical result/effect). The energy
builds and builds until the crescendo (end) of the song, at which point the gathered energy MUST
be used for the intended purpose/result. If Mack uses the energy for any other purpose, even the
casting of a minor spell to protect himself, the magic is ruined and the energy dissipates
harmlessly in a flash. Likewise, if Mack is knocked out or slain, the “ceremony” is broken and the
energy fizzles away without the intended result.

DAVEY "DAZZLE" JONES

Dave Jones arrived on planet Earth to be free of his home world’s prejudice and persecution
of his type of music. As a musical entertainer, Davey only wanted to play music and bring joy to
people, to ease them from being fearful of an invasion by the Atorian Empire. Earlier in his life,
he’d join young resistance fighters looking to quell civil unrest and protect dignitaries.
Unfortunately, with little or no formal military training, this group was nearly killed on their first
mission. Davey switch his stance that the FAR should concentrate on being at peace and his
music career reflected this. His home world rejected this stance and his music. Arriving on Earth,
Davey thought he could bring his type of musical style to a planet who inhabitants might
appreciate his talents. He started his career by going to Century Station only to encounter the
alien bias and scorn, and that angered him. He met with Michael Thorn who convinced him to join
his criminal rock band. The others welcomed Davey with open arms but insisted he change his
name. In the beginning, he wasn’t sure about being a legitimate band but committing villainous
acts against the same people who came to hear him sing and play music. Yet the more time he
spent on Earth, the more he began to dislike its people and relished abusing them. Davey is the
lease approachable member of the band and the one who finds it difficult to “pretend” to care
about regular people. He still enjoys playing and making music but he’s especially likes the super
crime aspect even more so. Michael has to remind him constantly to keep up the charade. Note:
Davey has recently met with member of the Dark Tribunal. When the sonic hypnotic amplifier is
finished along with the latest tour, Davey plans on leaving the band and joining up with the alien
organization to inflict some serious harm upon the human race.

PERCUSSION

Like Electro, Percussion likes to keep his past a secret. He especially hates the city of
Century Station, becoming increasingly violent the moment he steps foot in the city. Percussion
has a deep passion for music but also for hurting people and breaking bones. He is quite brutal
when it comes to police and law enforcement. It is also obvious that Percussion has been mute
since his childhood and has used sign language, writing notes, and hand held speaking devices to
communicate with people for nearly all his life. He is hot headed, quick-tempered, and emotional,
but a devoted friend to his band mates, and swift to come to their aid should they need him. His
one fault is the feelings he has toward Melody but she (and her sister) are attached to Lance.
When he needs too, he acts out his frustrations and desires on the various female groupies
hanging around the band. Nothing brings a smile to his face faster than a light skirt. Since joining
the band, he is quite protective of Michael Thorn and relishes the moments between super crimes
more so than playing on stage. That being said, he takes his drumming very seriously. Anyone
who makes fun of his feet doesn’t live very long.

THE SIREN SISTERS
Harmony & Melody

Michael Thorn encountered the Siren Sisters during his teens on a family Caribbean vacation.
They seduced him but decided to allow him to live. Years later after starting his super villain
career, he encountered them again, only this time he was impervious to their vocal charms. He
thought about taking his revenge and instead decided to introduce them to the world of mortal
men and women. The Siren Sister left their aquatic home to walk the streets of Century Station.
Both girls took a liking to the world of mortals, especially performing karaoke in the various bars,
restaurants, clubs or lounges. This is how they went about learning about the world by seducing
men and disposing of them afterward. CSPD regarded the duo as public enemies, but could never
bring them to justice. Years later, Michael returned to Century Station and introduced the girls to
his makeshift band. Right away, the girls took to Lance Ross becoming “his girls” but both girls
have left their marks on the backs of each band member, Percussion being the most enamored
with Melody. When Michael invited the girls to join the band, they were delighted as they found it
increasing difficult to avoid encounters with various independent super heroes and Sector 10
undercover agents. The girls changed their looks and now appear on stage with no one from
Century Station the wiser. Today the girls limit their siren ways to only a few men a year
choosing instead show their limitless affection toward Lance. Harmony is more inclined to seduce
her victims and leave them alive, while Melody likes to brutalize them in the midst of a flesh
session.

MICHAEL THORN

Michael Thorn loved to listen and play music as a boy. He dreamed of being a famous
musician like his idols. He loved to sing in choir as well. However, his father (who worked for the
Cyberworks Network as an engineer) wanted him to have tangible friends, namely computers and
electronics. Michael was a genius who had a special gift for building and designing high tech
communication devices, but his were mostly things to broadcast music. During a family trip in
high school, he was seduced by the Siren Sisters, who taught him that sound could be used in a
hypnotic manner to control the minds of others. This influenced him later one when he went to
Copernicus University in Century Station where he got his B.A. in electrical engineering. Later he
went on to MIT where he got his Masters. During his college days, he designed and built various
speakers, microphones, and amplifiers that he sold to musical performers. His father put a stop
to it and got him a job at Cyberwork Network.
One day he was going through various files when he stumbled across the lost notes of Zane
Carter (Soundwave) and his sonic cannon. Intrigued by it, Thorn decided to develop his own sonic
cannon to the delight of others at the company. But the villain Soundwave soon learned about
this ‘copy cat’ stealing his tech and took his revenge. He attacked Thorn at his home and used his
own sonic cannon on him. The weapon caused permanent damage to Michael Thorn’s hearing and
some brain damage. He was now totally deaf in both ears.
Losing his ability to hear music, much less his own voice or his guitar drove Michael mad.
He would go to concerts, clubs, and theaters and see the people having a good time but he
couldn’t hear a thing. He finally decided if he could not enjoy music than no one else should.
Michael turned his sonic weapon into a guitar and became the super villain Sonic Rock. He also
designed himself some high tech hearing aids. He became a public enemy in Century Station and
only through dumb luck, he avoid capture. He once again met the Siren Sisters and introduced
them to the world of mortal men. Michael left Century Station for Ultropolis where he took on the
villainous persona of Mister Noise, this time using his Sonic Vocalizer to commit a number of
super crimes. During this period, he brought about the deaths of independent super heroes
Granite and Skye. He decided to abandon his super villain persona and go legit, choosing to
become a mentor and manager for local talent in the Ultropolis area that played all of the local
colleges and nightclubs. In the end, he used them all as stepping stones, to build up his own
reputation for booking gigs for bands and handling their finances. Some of the money he keep for
himself and some he gave to Fabricators Inc to pay back various loans and arrangements he had
with them. He also continued to redesign cybernetic hearing aids and bionic ears that he would
pay them to implant in his head so he didn’t have to hear the music of the bands he was working
for.
Once he was able to start his own agency, his became the place to be for regional recording
artists to get gigs for college shows and large concert venues. Using his contacts within
Fabricators Inc he was able to go out and recruit various super powered individuals and put them
together to form a rock band. Thorn told them he would make them the biggest band in the world
in five years. As their reputation grew and their first record sold well, Michael Thorn revealed his
so-called secret purpose for creating the band in the first place, to turn them into super villains
whose goal was to punish normal society with their rock and roll. The villains like the idea
especially when he introduced them to the Siren Sisters. Michael continue to enlist the help
of top-notch music video directors, and was having the band make numerous appearances in
television, movies, video games, major festivals, and the like, helping to win over music fans, all
the while loathing every moment of it. It wasn’t long before the band had release four albums
that sold a combine 16 million in the United States alone, and got them nominated for Grammy
awards, and various Video Music Awards. All the while, they were also committing various super
crimes across the nation with no one the wiser stealing technology and slowly accumulating the
tech Michael Thorn needed to build his ultimate sound weapon.
Michael Thorn stands ready to unleash his sonic hypnotic amplifier which will magnify the
Power of Command of Lance, Harmony, and Melody into a powerful mind control that will not only
affect the audience in attendance but those listening on the radio or watching/listening on their
television, smart phones, portable devices, etc. Victims will do whatever the song tells them to do
without question, even if it means attacking their friends, allies, and family members. The
broadcast will not just affect the city but with any luck the entire world. Rock and Roll will be the
ultimate downfall of the human race if Michael Thorn has anything to say about it.

THE TINY TERRIBLE TERRORISTS

The Tiny Terrible Terrorists (TTT) is a ruthless band of super powered terrorists and assassins who all possess the
power to diminish their size. They sell their services to any criminal or political organization wanting demolition,
assassination, investigation, surveillance, or covert operations without the chance of being discovered. The TTT are
motivated by two things: money and intimidation. Because of their unique powers, they can enter almost any compound
undetected, this allows them to torment the subject who begins to wonder where the voices are coming from, or whose
leaving tiny notes on the bed telling him he’s about to die.
TTT reputation is international, yet few have ever seen them. Law enforcement agencies have to work diligently in an
effort to discovery any trace of their presence, because the TTT all use shrunken weapons and equipment. The damage of
their weapons is negligible and their range a mere fraction of the norm, however, when used in unison and in great number
can kill just as easily as they would at normal size.
No one is safe from the harassments of the TTT. After they broke into the office of the Fabricator and left him a note
saying he needed to hire better security, he proclaimed Fabricators Inc would never do business with them again, no
matter the circumstances. This of course doesn’t bother the TTT because they raid Fabricators main headquarters almost
daily!
The TTT base of operations is in the apartment of Sydney Vanderbilt, on the 40th floor of the Byrne Building in New
York City, which is Fabricators Inc Central Office and Home Base. Sydney is a Fabricator Liaison who is unaware that the
TTT have been living in his apartment for the last three years. Sydney operates primarily in Europe and only uses his
apartment three weeks out of the whole year. The TTT devised a special trap door (an air vent) that allows them access in
and out of the building from the outside. Furthermore, they roam throughout the building stealing various weapons and
pieces of equipment which all goes unnoticed (surveillance cameras cannot detect them because of their size). Engineers
are usually at their stations scratching their head wondering what they just did with their screwdriver they just laid down
on the table a second ago. No one not even Daimon Lazarus is aware the TTT operate in this manner, and the TTT intends
on making sure the secret never gets out.
The TTT are listed as the most wanted terrorist organization in the world, although the Unnatural Disasters took their
#1 spot away in America after their attack against U.S. S.C.R.E.T. The TTT pride their selves as being the most fear
terrorists of all time. It’s only a matter of time before they hatch a scheme to take their #1 spot back.

Note: Attempting to combat individuals capable of reducing their height to a mere 6 inches or less is extraordinary difficult. These penalties are accumulative:

-6 to hit with projectiles (firearms, energy weapons/blasts) or missiles/throwing weapons.
-3 to strike with a melee weapon or punch and -4 to hit with a kick
-3 to strike if running/moving or flying under 50 mph (80 km), -1 to strike for each additional 50 mph (80 km) of travel,
an additional -1 to strike if they taking evasive actions (zigzag, leaping behind for cover, etc).
-6 to strike if flying faster than 50 mph (80 km).
-3 to hit if they are 30 feet (9.1 m) away.
-6 to hit if they are 50 feet (15.24 m) away.

There are two ways to avoid these annoying penalties. One can attempt to make an aimed and called shot (with just a -5
penalty) or get them within point blank range, i.e. the barrel of the gun is touching them. Hardware: Weapons and Ancient
Weapon Masters can reduce the penalties by one-half.

The TTT Arsenal

All the shrunken weapons of the TTT inflict 1/10 their normal damage and their range is measured in inches, yet the total
will be indicated in feet/meters. This is a general list of their most often used weapons.

9 mm Pistol, Range: 12.5 feet (3.81 m), Damage: 1 point.
9 mm Sub-machine gun, Range: 55 feet (16.76 m), Damage: 1 point for single shot/1D4 points of damage from short burst, 2D4 from long burst.
Explosive Grenades, Throwing Range: 8.3 feet, Damage: 2D4, Blast Radius: 1.5 feet (.4 m).
Rocket Launcher, Range: 300 feet (91 m), Damage: 1D4x10, Blast Radius: 4 feet (1.21m).
Light Machine gun, Range: 300 feet (91 m), Damage: 1D4 for short burst/2D4+2 for long burst).
Bomb of 6 oz (168 g) of plastic explosives, Damage: 2D6, Blast Radius: 1.2 inches (4.26 cm).
Bomb of 3 oz (84 g) of stable chemical explosive, Damage: 1D6x10, Blast Radius: 2.5 feet (.7m).

Each member of the TTT carries at least one of these weapons on his person.

Equipment

With their headquarters inside Fabricators Inc, the TTT take full advantage of the easy accessible “free” high-tech gadgets
and equipment held in storage or lying around on a workbench. All of these items continue to function as normal in their
reduced state.

A dozen W-120 Electranet Pistols and FW-220 Electranet Rifle
14 FS-34 Stealth Boots
6 WS-12 High Velocity Mini Jet Packs
Three FA-70 Standard Ultra-Lite Flexi-Steel Body Armor

2D6 riot armor (A.R. 14, S.D.C. 180)
3D6 Vibro-Knives
1D4x10 automatic pistols
3D6 sub-machineguns
A dozen light machineguns
2D6 rocket launchers
2D4 standard laser pistols
2 standard laser rifles
1D6x10 clips for any standard weapon per weapon
1D4x10 grenades per grenade type
50 pounds (22.7 kg) of plastic explosives
2 gallons (7.57 l) of stable chemical explosive
10 Multi-Optics Helmets
12 Hand Held Communicators
8 Ear Mike Radio Receivers & Transmitters

They have over $1.5 million dollars in surveillance equipment, telephone bugs, and other surveillance devices.

Vehicles

Besides those listed for each character, TTT has in their tiny garage the following:

A one ton Chevy aluminum step van
1998 Ford F150 conversion van
Three automobiles (whatever they decide to steal)
1 Bellanca Skyrocket Airplane
1 Lake LA-250 Renegade (a light STOL utility amphibian airplane)
Two Avtran Skybikes

THE GNAT

The Gnat has been a super villain for some time, yet almost nothing is known about him. He also keeps much of his
life concealed from his teammates. The former ally of the original Prof. Fraction had no qualms about joining forces with
Vito Basso to form a new partnership, which eventually led to the creation of the TTT. Unfortunately Gnat brought a host of
super beings he’d made enemies of, one being Soundwave. He interfered with one of his robberies, which almost resulted
in the villain’s near capture by the police. Gnat then swiped his stolen merchandise. The Gnat tries to keep his solo criminal
past behind him, but every so often the itch to go out and do something on his own eats at him. Prof. Fraction has given
him a harsh warning not too otherwise there could be consequences that could put the team’s secrets in jeopardy if he
were to be caught.

PEBBLE

This miniature mountain loves to cause damage. He loves a good fight, especially when his strength gives him a clear
advantage and his opponent’s assume he’s a mutant. He came to Earth to be free of his own world prejudice’s which found
those capable of shrinking intolerable as appose to those who can grow. Finding Vito and Gnat was the greatest thing for
him because he at last found company to share a common bond. However, Pebble’s joy for being vindictive and cruel tends
to get the better of him. Prof. Fraction usually has to remind him of their mission’s ultimate goal in order to keep him in

MR. LILLIPUT

Hugo Toppersmith was a professional cat-burglar scientist. He wanted to be a doctor or chemist after he graduated from high school, but his grades were not all the good. In
fact, in order to pass most of his exams he had to cheat, and when he couldn’t do that, he break into the teacher’s office or house and steal the answers. At some point he decided
why not take a few things while was in the house as well. One day though he broke into the wrong home. One of his first year college professors was obsessed with genetic medicine
and cloning. When he caught Toppersmith breaking into his mansion, he decided to use him as a live test subject for his next bout of experiments. He did manage to clone
Toppersmith all right, but not in the manner that he expected instead. His body split apart into three duplicates about 6 inches (15 cm) tall. The three mini Toppersmith’s escaped
from the scientist house and made their way to the back alley. Eventually the three merged back together and Toppersmith found himself back to normal. For the next few days,
Toppersmith learn to control this strange ability. Eventually he learned to put it to good use. A few months later he broke into a house only discover his body turning into stone.
When the lady of the house suddenly appeared, she herself was made of stone. She charged after him, he separated into several mini-selves. The swarm of tiny stone beings
attacked the woman and eventually beat her down with her own abilities. Toppersmith finally understood the entirety of his powers and from that moment decided to call him Mr.
Lilliput based on the tiny people from the book Gulliver’s Travels. A year later, Toppersmith received a phone call from an individual called the Gnat who he partnered with one
several occasions. The Gnat asked him if he’d like to join a group of super powered beings who possessed the ability to reduce their size. Realizing the potential of powers he could
mimic, Toppersmith jumped at the chance. Toppersmith’s has proven to be the key individual that allows the TTT to be the threat that they are today, and because of his abilities,
has aided Professor Fraction in building their shrunken arsenal. Toppersmith also plays the role of team cheerleader, he’s not interested in returning to a life of crime on his own, he
will do anything to make sure the group stays together and works out any personality conflicts that might come up.

PROFESSOR FRACTION (The Second)

Professor Fraction is the name of a legendary super villain that everyone has heard of, and every major superhero in the last forty years has encountered. Agents of S.C.R.E.T.
are still trying to figure out how this infamous villain has managed to hang around all this time, without any super powers, just relying on his genius and his amazing array of
shrinking technology. The truth is the man who first called himself Professor Fraction is dead and the man who killed him took up his mantle.
Eduard Weiss was an inventor obsessed with discovering new applications for atomic energy because he believed the potential was there to make new discoveries that no else
had made. However, he theorized that in order to understand atoms, one had to be closer to them. He invented technology that would reduce the size of person and objects, and
restore them to their normal size. During one evening while existing at the size of a minute speck, thieves broke into his lab and stole some of his equipment, including the means
for him to return to normal. For forty-two days in his lab, the scientist spent in his shrunken state, for the most part unable to do the simplest things, and spending a lot of time
avoiding insects and one annoying mouse. Eventually he found a way to get up to his workshop bench and work on some other secondary inventions that allowed him to restore
himself to his normal size. The traumatizing experience made Weiss consider destroying the technology, but instead he decided to keep it. He also thought of the men who robbed
him, how easily it would be for a thief to steal things if he could shrink himself into an establishment or shrink the item to the size of a toy and walk out with it. Inspired by his
ordeal, Weiss spent months redesigning and retooling his shrink technology, eventually he developed the Reducto-Gun that could do it all. He could shrink himself, others, or objects.
He also made hand grenades that exploded releasing what he called “shrink dust” that could shrink people and objects as well. Donning a colorful costume for himself, Weiss
embarked upon a new career-as the tiny thief known as Professor Fraction.
For thirty-five years, Professor Fraction fought many super-heroes and committed hundreds of crimes. He stole enough money, precious gems, and valuable property to turning
himself into a multi-millionaire, yet it was never enough for him. He began delving deeper and deeper into the nature of his shrink technology, eventually creating more complex
devices that would allow him to shrink entire buildings, so he could literally pick up a bank and walk away with it (of course he dump out all the people inside for he had no use for
them).
Finally getting on in age, Prof. Fraction felt the time had come to find an assistant. His first one Rhea Haterstone by sheer coincidence had her own shrink powers. For over a
year she worked alongside the good doctor, but eventually she turned on him when he was about to brutally murder several schoolchildren and their teacher (the teacher’s aide
happen to be Mary Garson/Pulsar of the Omega Team). She was the one that got Rhea to turn on him. Prof. Fraction managed to escape while Rhea ended up joining the Omega
Team. Weeks later he chose a young man he read about who been expelled out of his first year at MIT for building a homemade Taser gun in one of his engineering classes and
testing it on a fellow student. Vito Basso recognized the opportunity of working alongside one of the greatest criminals of all time. For two years, he aided the villain battle it out with
his super hero enemies and came up with strategies for even bigger crime capers, some that operated out of the norm of the Professor’s modus operandi. Then one day Vito awoke
from his sleep to find himself one inch tall. He wondered if the professor has used his technology on him in his sleep. To his complete surprise the countless exposures to shrink
technology granted him the powers to do it all on his own. He concealed this from the professor for several weeks. Then one day, the Professor was barely able to escape the custody
of the police and a super hero duo hot after his trail. Vito decided the time had come for his mentor to retire. He tried persuading him, but Weiss refused saying he may be sixty-two
years old, but he hadn’t lost a step. Then Vito insisted he do so. This alarmed Weiss so he used the Reducto-Gun on him, only it didn’t work. Basso super powers made him
impervious to the weapon. He pulled out a 9mm and emptied the clip into Professor Fraction. Basso shrunk Weiss’ body to six inches and tossed it the ocean. He returned to the lab
cleaned it up and assumed the mantle of Professor Fraction. As the day went on, and Basso continued to use his abilities, his body began to change in appearance, but he didn’t give
it a second thought.
Weeks later, the Gnat, a partner of the Prof in numerous crimes, came by for a visit. Basso lied and said that Weiss had died of heart attack, so he’d buried his body in a hidden
location, and decided to take his place. He then asked the Gnat to form a more permanent partnership with him. To forge something that would not only equal the longevity of
Professor Fraction’s career, but also make it even more infamous. The Gnat agreed. Basso then contacted a former ally, the criminal thief known as Mr. Lilliput and invited him to join
them as well. Before long the trio found great success together. Basso coined them the Tiny Terrible Terrorist. When the other members joined in, Basso decided, they needed to
evolve beyond being petty thieves and criminals. The time had come for them to move to an even bigger stage. This eventually led them to making their headquarters inside
Fabricator Inc, where they have access to the greatest criminal technology of time.
As the reputation of the TTT grows, Basso has considered his own fate. Will one day a member of the TTT try to take him out as he did Weiss. He doesn’t know, so far he has
no reason to suspect anyone is plotting to take over his role as leader, especially since he is the only one who knows how to use the Reducto-Gun and most of Weiss’s shrink
technology, but Weiss under-estimated his ambitions, could he be doing the same too in regards to TTT.

ALEX PAIN

Alex Valentine is the son of a wealthy woman who runs the Sands Hotel in Los Vegas. He grew up a rich, spoiled kid who insisted that the world cater to his every want and
need. Around the age of sixteen, he developed psychic abilities, specifically ones that allowed him to learned people greatest fears and their most painful experience. He started to
use his new talents to help him rob guests staying at the hotel or to blackmail/con them into giving him money. Shortly after turning, eighteen his mother told him if he wanted to
continue living at the hotel, he had to earn a college education. Alex enlisted at the University of Nevada, Los Vegas, yet decided to pull one last burglary at the hotel. Unbeknown to
Alex, the man he targeted was not just a high rolling gambler, but also a retired “cleaner” for the Russian mob. Alex snuck into the man’s room and discovered his photo albums of
the dozens of victims he tortured and mutilated over the years. Fascinated with all that he saw, he waited for the man’s return. Alex tried to convince the killer to tell him more about
his past and lifestyle; instead, the man attacked and stabbed him with a knife. Severely wounded, the man tied Alex to a chair and prepared to torture him. Using his mental
abilities, he learned the man’s suffered from musophobia (fear of mice), but what good did knowing such a fear do for him. That’s when his true power manifested itself, the ability
to create life like illusions. The man suddenly saw a giant rat (the size of a dog) on his bed. The panic-stricken sadistic killer became so terrified that he decided the only way to
escape was to jump out the 10-story window. The police and hotel security eventually found a nearly unconscious Alex still tied to the chair.
After recovering from his injuries, Alex went on his own killing spree, experimenting with all sorts of ways to torture people with their greatest fears and painful experiences. He
never enrolled in college, yet he spent hours in the college library studying about the human consciousness. Before long, his life followed the career of the sadistic Russian assassin.
He’s traveled the world selling his services to whomever paid him, but he’d only take the job if he’d learned his target could be torture by their own worst fears and painful
experiences. Alex Pain still calls Las Vegas home, and he’s managed to keep his real identity a mystery to the authorities, although the name and MO (modus operandi) of Alex Pain
is well documented by S.C.R.E.T. and the FBI. Adventure Hooks: Alex Pains spends a lot of time at his mother’s hotel, so he enjoys running many of his criminal operations there.
She of course has no idea her son is a super villain.

Baron Thought

Prince Eduard Lumark is the 2nd son of would be King Torsten Lumark of Griynia. Sadly all legal privileges and immunities of the royal and
nobility of House Lumark were abolished in 1919 (after WW I), and the royal family was no longer conferred or recognized by the Federal
Republic of Griynia. Although noble as a class is no longer recognized in Griunia and enjoys no legal or special privileges, institutions do exists
that decide matters such as lineage, legitimacy, and a person’s right to bear a name of nobility. If the Central Power had been victorious back in
WW1, Eduard’s father would have inherited the throne from his father and be the ruler of the Griynia. Eduard father serve a distinguished
career in the Griynia military, his brother was university professor. Eduard was a struggling film maker, never able succeed or catch a big break.
He would think about his lot in life and curse, by right he was a prince and should be treated like on. Where were the servants, the castle, the
royal coach, and the other accolades still be enjoyed by royal in other European nations?
When his father passed away, his brother Sander know the rightful heir decided he was going to sell what remained of the family estate,
75 acres of land and the country house that had been their ancestral home. Eduard objected, citing the house had been in their family since it
was built in 1700. Sander said he was going to sell the house and the land to an American company who planned on hold LARP torments on the
property. Outrage Eduward vowed he would find a way to stop him. Few days later Eduard was wandering the 5 acre (20,000 sq m) walled
kitchen garden beyond the stables in a drunken stupor when he came to the ugly statue in the middle of the dried fountain. He always hate the
statue, it looked like a gargoyle. He yelled at the statue and threw a beer bottle at it and screamed, “Where my crown!”
Suddenly the statue came to life and began speaking to him. It said its name was Vargug and if Eduard promised to dedicated the rest of
his life to him and further his goals, the creature would see to it that one day he wore and crown and sat on the throne that controlled Griynia.
Eduard agreed. The creature broke off one of his horns from his head and told Eduard to imbed it into his skull. Eduard suddenly transformed
into a dark, mysterious count, with pale skin, a muscular body, and long fingers. Calling himself Baron Thought, Vargug lead him to a grave. He
digs it up and finds a wooden coffin. Inside is the body a demonic looking thing and a black coin purse. Inside are black coins made of material
called noirurite. He is told give a person a black coin which he can use control people as long as they keep the coin on their person. Ask how
many coins in the bag, the demon opens the pouch in his hand and out comes 30 coins.
Eduard allow his brother to sell the estate but he with his new found abilities manages to take over the LARP events, which attracts 5000
players from around Europe. Eduard oversees the events, looking for those he can manipulate, handing out black coins and then giving them
“quests” to perform. Later they dress in their LARP gear and commit various crimes. However, the coins do more than control their thoughts
they give whoever has them random energy expulsion abilities (spells). Now with a mind controlled “gamer army” at his beckon call, the Black
Coin can show up anyplace with 2D4 players (regular people) with super powers commit also sorts of fantasy RPG based crime (kidnapping
single women from tall building, stealing precious stones/artifacts from museums/galleries, attacking military or political leaders at their homes,
etc.
Besides his Black Coin underlings, Baron Thought has his loyal henchmen, who have been given other magical artifacts that were buried
on the property. How many more of these magical artifacts there are Vargug has yet to reveal. Baron Thought has so conformed to his “Game
Master” persona so much that the in-gaming terminology has taken over his vocabulary. Meaning when he speaks to a minion, he talks like a
G.M. would.
The Black Coin has become arch-rivals to the All Crusader Squad. Lightstone is very familiar with the demon Vargug. She insists the
demon must be destroyed, imprisoned, or sent back to Hell. Fighting the Black Coin lieutenants and Baron Thought is one thing, but the Black
Coin gamer minions are mind control servants doing exactly what they told and with energy expulsion power to back it up.
Baron Thought has recently used his powers to kidnap his nieces and nephews. He wants his brother to renounce the throne and make
him the new King of Griynia. Even if his brother did, it wouldn’t change anything. Major Thought has come to terms with this realization yet,
but it is part of his contingency. If he must he will use his minions to take over the Griynia Parliament Building and crown himself King. Note:
Major Thought and his lieutenants have no idea they have made into the rank and file of the Minion War taking place on Heroes Unlimited
Earth.

made of a metal found in Hades called noirurite. Anyone who receives a “mind controlled” order (super power, psionic, or magic, even drug
induced) and then receives a Black Coin, his or her mind control duration has no TIME LIMIT until the orders/instructions given are completed.
Such orders depending upon their wording could be time sensitive (“You will get up on July 4 and do…) or require specific conditions to be met
(“If you see anyone wears a “certain sport’s team” hat, you will call them a loser.”), or an assigned task/set of instructions to be completed. The
Black Coin once it’s give to someone, it is near impossible to pull loose or remove by force (attaches to the flesh if don’t have pockets). It takes
an Extraordinary P.S. or greater to remove the coin from the affected person’s body (removing doesn’t cause any physical damage). Once
Baron Thought hands out a coin, and the mission gets completed, the Black Coin disappears. Baron Thought’s coin purse contains 30 Black
Coins. After all 30 coins have been given out the purse will “magically” produce another 30 coins, but only if a person with the coin has been
successfully mind controlled. There is no limit to how many coins can be produced. A simple exorcism (by an ordained minister/clergy of any
good alignment faith) can remove the coin thus releasing the person from their mind control obligation. Negate Magic or Anti-Magic Spell will
also remove the coin/mind control, but does not work on Baron Thought’s mind control without the coin. Any Spirit, Crusader, or Creature of
Light can also pluck the Black Coin off a person’s body.

modern living altogether. She move out into the wilderness and tried to “live off the land.” Several times she had to be taken to the hospital because she’d eaten
something she shouldn’t or didn’t cook it right. During one LARP, she meet and actual real life knight, Sir Jolan Cureau. She fell in love with him and as was required of
her character became his slave. When game ended, she continued to be in character and swore to be his slave. She went back to the country of Griynia to live with him,
well to live on his property in the backyard. When Prince Eduard needed to recruit “lieutenants” to join his Black Coin, he knew Sir Deathcide and his “barbarian” woman
would not only willing join, but could be counted for their loyalty. Upon receiving her magic war club and sling, Elinor lost all ties to her former life and is no 100% She
Devil. Is it doubtful she could ever be return to the real world. She hates the Elf Lightstone of the All Crusader Squad and believes she must kill her to keep her from
seducing Sir Deathcide.

Sir Deathcide

Jolan Cureau was knighted by King Torsten Lumark of Griynia for his contributions to the Griynia parliament and for being something of a local celebrity when it
came to Griynia television. He also loved being a gamer. He became good friends with the King’s son Prince Eduard. One day, Eduard asked him if he would like a real
magic sword. Thinking he was joking, Jolan said sure. Eduard took him to a spot on his family grounds and after lifting up a rock, revealed a rusty long sword. Edyuard
said this was the legendary magic sword Misteltein (Mistletoe), the magic sword that killed the god Baldar. Jolan went along with him and picked up the sword, suddenly
transforming into a magical knight. This wasn’t LARPing this was real! Whenever Sir Jolan decided to join a LARP he took his magic sword with him. One day his
character received a Barbarian slave named She Devil. It didn’t take Jolan long to realize she stopped playing in character and fully embraced being She Devil. Jolan
took her back home with him. This was the final straw for his wife, who insisted he had descended into madness. Jolan got so mad at her he struck her with his magic
sword, cleaving her in half. At that point, Jolan gave up everything to become the criminal Sir Deathcide. He was joined by his barbarian bodyguard. When Prince
Edmund asked his friend to join him as a member of the Black Coin, it didn’t take much convincing. Now Sir Deathcide serves his majesty Baron Thought in any capacity
he needs him too. Sir Deathcide is always eager to duel Bladesword of the All Crusader Squad in hopes of proving once and for all who is greatest “knight of the realms.”

Big Jack

Duncan Scully spent most of his life getting into fights, especially in school. As soon as he was old enough he left school to become a professional boxer. During his

Eduard Lumark on his family royal estate when he told him, his family where actual keepers of ancient magic treasures. Duncan told him to prove it. So Eduard took him
to a special fish pond and said if he caught the fish it would cough up a magic ring. Duncan dove in and brought up the fish. It indeed coughed up a ring. When Duncan
put it on, it turned him into a Dwarf but also gave him great magical powers. Weeks later Duncan lost his first major fight in the first round after 30 seconds. Humiliated
he swore to get even. Days later he found the fighter, put on the ring, and beat him senseless. When Prince Eduard asked him to join his Black Coin, Duncan was all too
eager to abandon his old life and join a group of super powered gamers armed with magical objects. Duncan loves being a professional criminal and beating up (and

Guy the Bandit

Gavin Ames is a professional thief. Stealing is as natural to him as breathing. The bigger the challenge, the more he is willing to try the caper. His other favorite
hobby was gaming (always playing the thief/rogue). One day while in the country of Griynia, he joined a LARP that had “Prince” Eduard Lumark in it. After the event, his
majesty noted how accustomed Gavin was at playing a thief. Gavin said it was second nature to him. So the Prince took him to his family estate and showed him a
wardrobe. He said inside was a cloak that allowed thieves to hide things inside of it. When Gavin put it on, he discovered the cloak contained a wooden ladder and a
magic knife. Gavin asked him what did he have to do to keep the cloak and knife, and Eduard said to be the best thief he could come up with. So Gavin had his girlfriend
at the time design him a Highwayman costume and declared himself Guy the Bandit. After performing numerous capers across Great Britain, Gavin returned to Griynia
to join Prince Eduard’s Black Coin and become a true super villain. While he is not a stone killer like others in the team, Gavin is still out for himself and the Black Coin

The Wizard Bellows

Paullor is the ultimate gamer geek. His maturity has not changed any since he was 12 and he’s devoted his amazing intellect into proving magic is real, much to
the dismay of his parents. Any place he went in the world, he tried to recruit others into playing RPGs or LARPing. He spend hours researching magic for no other reason
than to incorporate realism into his characters. During one game session, he was in a castle in the country of Griynia, when his group had to go into the library and find
a hidden book. While searching the room, Paullor found a book of magic that had nothing to do with the game. He flipped through the book and noted a passage that
seemed like some sort of incantation. He said the words aloud (as best he could) and misspoke them, which summoned a Greater Demon! It killed everyone but himself
(holding the book protected him). Horrified over what he’d done, Paullor fled with the book. He eventually got back to England where devoted his life to studying the
book until he became a true wizard. He returned to Griynia with the notion of finding the demon and either killing it or sending it back to Hell. When he reached the
castle, he drew a magic circle and waited. The Great Demon came at him and penetrated his circle (it wasn’t strong enough). Fortunately for Paullor Sir Deathcide and
She Devil were also tracking the demon and slew the beast. Paullor thanked the knight and offered his wizardry services. Sir Deathcide introduce the wizard to Baron
Thought and his Black Coin. Since joining the group, the Wizard Bellows has grown in confidence, increasing his spell knowledge, but he fells hampered in his power
(P.P.E.). While he has learned to draw P.P.E. from others, it’s still not enough. He has learned what blood ritual will grant him additional power and there are talisman he
can draw strength from as well. He has yet to commit to using kidnapping super power beings and fellow magic practitioners as human sacrifices but if he wants to
increase his power this is what he might have to do. His principles have already become dark enough he feel nothing if he must kill certain people under the right
circumstances. But he doesn’t want to turn into the demon that terrified him so long ago. He does however consider the All Crusader Squad a major menace to his and
the Black Coin future plans.

I will be posting my original superhero team created way back in the mid 1980s during my wanna bee comic book writer days. When I got introduced to HU this
was a great way to give my guys "life" in a way that otherwise they couldn't exist. Although I found myself unable to play them because I wanted to play them the way
they acted in their unpublished comic books. Their powers seemed limited (HU Revised edition). So I shelved them and stop playing them. Two decades later I dusted
them off and gave them a new lease on life. They been sitting in limbo while various super villains and other super teams have found their way into Rifters and/or here on
the boards. I jealously guarded them, hoping one day they might see themselves in HU cannon book. Well the wait is over. Mega Team is coming to the boards. Now these
guys are going to be POWERFUL. But that's to be expected. They're Mega Team after all. A little later their arch enemies Thomas Dane and the Dane Brigade will be
appearing as well.

OMEGA TEAM

The Omega Team is one of the most renowned teams of super beings on Earth. They offer their services to anyone free of charge. Their mission is to function as a peace
keeping force dedicated to protecting the people of Earth from all threats to its safety. Although they never said so specifically, the Omega Team’s primary concern is
defending Earth from alien invasion. Unlike the Sentinels of Liberty and Justice and the Centurions of Century Station, Omega Team is not under the supervision of the
U.S. government or any law enforcement agency. However, its members would gladly assist any lawful nation or legitimate law enforcement organization if they asked for
it. Omega Team is not a private corporation, they are simply a band of freelance super beings defending humanity from those who would do it harm. That being said, the
team has received recognition and sponsorship from the United Nations, enabling them to function as an international peacekeeping force in all countries belonging to or
affiliated with the United Nations. Most of Omega Team’s operations involve visible public activities, although they have in the past engaged in covert missions if such a
visible role will inhibit its chance of success. It has never been Omega Team policy to usurp the role of any nation’s armed forces by engaging in warfare on enemy soil.
Such matters are jointly coordinated, with Omega Team generally taking the auxiliary role.
Omega Team does not receive U.S. government support or access to privileged or classified information. They are super beings fighting without U.S. government
approval and outside the confines of the law. However, they are NOT considered outlaws, because the team has always cooperated with the U.S. government over the
years as a private corporation, owned entirely by its founding members. Nonetheless, Omega Team enjoys the perks of a “grandfathered privileged status” seemingly
unattainable by any Legionnaires or Freelance group of super heroes, much to the chagrin of the U.S. S.C.R.E.T., G.I.G.M.A., MTF, the Sector, Project Tyche, various
Super-Ops Teams, and Government Superhuman Taskforce (The Sentinels and Centurions), and a minority of politicians in the federal branches of U.S. government and
the military. Conversely, Omega Team enjoys a massive popularity (82-84% approval rating) with the U.S. general public, and even higher in Europe, Africa, and
Australia, They enjoy huge support from the various Legionnaire groups across the U.S. and not just those in Century Station, Victory City, Ultropolis, and Gulf Coast
City. Members of the various U.S. armed services, agents of the alphabet agencies (especially NASA and Project Secure). G.I.G.M.A. agent Scott Benter operates as
“secret” liaison between the agency and Omega Team, offering the “covert” assistance whenever possible (“whoops where did I put that file on Doctor Fright?).
How has Omega Team managed to achieve such celebrity status, by defeating various alien threats and invasions, stopping rogue nations from invading their
neighbors, defeating super powered criminals (like Thomas Dane) from taking over the U.S. government and saving the lives of millions. Omega Team also enjoys the
means of space travel enabling them to reach various locations throughout the Ilta Quadrant (often encountering the TMC) using FTL and Point to Point Travel. Rumor of
the super team operating in the Ilta Quadrant has reached the FAR who simply regard them as a bunch of misguided vigilantes or pirates. The Atorians know nothing
about them. Omega Team has crossed swords with the Toogarth and Tarlock on two separate occasions.
Omega Team has no authority to judge or punish criminals. Anyone they confront they turn over to the appropriate authorities; however those deemed too powerful
(meganoids, supernatural threats, aliens, and giant robots) will be “dealt” using non-standard confinement practices, which always caused a heated debate among the
various members (conflicting alignments). Still, the Omega Team can make a citizen’s arrest of anyone found in the act of committing a “felony”, but the group could face
possible lawsuits or criminal charges like false imprisonment, unlawful restraint, kidnapping, wrongful arrest, assault and battery with super powers—especially if the
wrong person is apprehends or the victim’s civil rights are violate. For this reason, Omega Team focuses their efforts on supercrimes, war zones, natural disasters, alien
invasions, or major mayhem threatening major loss of life. In these situations Omega Team receives lots of cooperation from civilian, public, and law enforcement
authorities. They can take charge of these situations, and EVERYONE obeys, sometimes S.C.R.E.T. and G.I.G.M.A. operates get relegated to crown control until Omega
Team defeats the super villain or saves the day, much to the annoyance of high authorities.

REDFIRE

He is the son of renowned wildlife expert Felix Gordon and his wife Dyana. They traveled the world together promoting environmentalism and conservation of
endangered animals and land clearing. Everywhere they went their young son Rick went with them. At an early age, Rick showed signs of being a wildlife warrior. He
loved to trap and track wild animals. He tranquilized and radio tagged his first elephant at the age of nine under his dad’s supervision. By the age of twelve, he was
hitting targets 1000 yards away with a rifle as if he’d been trained all his life. When he turned sixteen his parents moved from Australia to South Africa, where they
worked at Addo Elephant National Park. However, his father’s world fame began to agitate those involved in the illegal animal trade.
A few weeks later, the family was flying in their private airplane when both engines exploded. The plane went down. Rick woke up in the medical wing of Ojore
Bokaza, a ruthless African Warlord who been deposed by his own people, and was force to live in exile. He claimed not to know who was responsible for the plane crash
but he urged his personal assistant Howard Chase to look into the matter while Rick recovered. Weeks later Bokaza told Rick he knew the location of the mercenaries
responsible for killing his parents, but it would be impossible to prove in a court of law. Rick vowed to kill them himself. He started to train himself to become the perfect
warrior. During this time, he noticed numerous physical changes with his body such as increased strength, endurance, and resistance to injury, yet in general, he didn’t
feel any different. During this time Howard Chase demonstrates his amazing invention, the Humonger Harness, a device he built that enabled him to turn into a monster.
When Rick asked him why he needed such a device, Howard said to combat the threat aliens pose to human civilization. Five months later, Rick and Howard came across
the mercenary camp in the Kalahari Desert. Though outnumber the two men took out every single individual in the camp. Upon returning to Bokaza home, Rick felt guilty
over what he’d done, knowing his parents would not have approved. Howard Chase then revealed that it was Bokaza who issued the order and the mercenaries where in
fact his. Rick confronted the elderly warlord and snapped his neck. Afterward Rick vowed to avenge his parents’ senseless death and to protect the lives of all innocents
on Earth by waging a war against all hostile threats against the people of Earth. Traveling to a secret location in Montana where Howard Chase owner private property,
Rick trained to be physical and mental perfection. Finally, he gave himself a red costume to symbolize his burning hatred for evil and thus Rick Gordon became Redfire.
For four years, the duo traveled the world confronting villainy wherever they found it, from a ruthless dictator of a rogue nation to petty jewel thieves. However,
despite their best intensions, law enforcements around the world considered them outlaws and vigilantes. When Rick turned twenty-one, he began to contemplate if he
and Howard were truly making a difference. The world seemed to be ruled by anarchy, cruelty, and conquest. What chance did humankind have against such menaces;
furthermore, he watched on television the events transpiring around the globe that threatened to destabilize human society. Howard of course blamed aliens especially
when the events in Century Station occurred. He then suggested Rick create a team of super heroes to help him defend the planet from aliens and all domestic threats to
human civilization.
Over the next few weeks, Redfire got in touch with three recognized super heroes from New York, Chicago, and Los Angles. He asked them to join him on his
mission to protect Earth and thus Omega Team was born. One month later, the quintet defeated Thomas Dane and his brigade of evil from kidnapping the U.S President
when they assaulted the White House. Four months later the heroes stopped Dane from laying siege against the United Nation building. This amazing rescue made
Omega Team international champions. Soon nations from all parts of the globe called upon them in times of crisis. When two Middle East countries went to war, Omega
Team stepped in-between holding off both armies until a ceasefire could be called and peace talks began. Countless times the heroes performed acts of bravery and
selflessness, never once knowing any sort of defeat. Eventually Doctor Vibrates’ niece joined their ranks, and she was soon followed by Microna and Momentum. Their
youthful presence and amazing abilities only added to the team’s formidability. Six months ago, the Omega Team defeated their arch nemesis Thomas Dane once again
in their greatest battle to date when the criminal mastermind conjured an army of demons to march onto Washington D.C.
Shortly after returning home from their battle with Dane, the group met the alien mercenary Scrambler who was on the run from the Covenant for selling alien
weapons to non-starfaring civilizations. Rick took a liking to her and her spacecraft. Howard of course, was paranoid and extremely jealous of the friendship they
developed. After expelling Momentum from the team, Rick invited Scrambler to join them thus allowing the group the use of her space ship and experience. Three
months later Rick decided to do what he’d been contemplating even since he started a romantic relationship with his longtime girlfriend Julie Walsh. He asked Scrambler
if she would like to take the reins of Omega Team. Rick wanted to retire so he and Julie could marry and raise a family. Scrambler said she think it over. After helping the
Omega Team take down a band of evil mages seeking to take over the British Parliament, she agreed. Rick and Julie left the next morning for a long extended vacation.

TRUTH: Howard Chase has been unwilling to reveal the truth that he’s kept from Rick for the last fourteen years. Rick is no longer human, but an android. His
injuries from the plane crash were to severe for his body to recover so under orders of Bokaza, Howard built an ultra sophisticated android that perfectly resembled his
original body and transferred his consciousness into it. Rick and Julie are unable to raise a family because Rick lacks the ability to reproduce. Howard is terrified if he
reveals the truth that Rick’s mind will snapped. Rick has turned himself into the world’s greatest superhero. He’s not certain what will happen once he learned he is no
longer human.

SUPERFIST

Markus Fox is the son of Black Warrior, a superhero who protected the poor living in the slums of Chicago. He battled all sorts of criminals throughout the city. He
also tried to promote a variety of community programs to alleviate poverty and illness. Eventually he unmasked and went public during an interview with the city’s mayor
in an effort to draw attention to the issues in the black community. His political goals were often overshadowed by his confrontational and militaristic tactics, and his
suspicions regarding the police and the U.S. government. Despite his best effort to draw attention to the plights of the poor, Black Warrior was viewed by most people as
a criminal and extremist. His confrontations with the Chicago Police Department escalated as he sought to oppose alleged police brutality through neighborhood patrols.
One day he followed a group of officers known for their racial prejudice and brutality. It ultimately led to a violent confrontation, resulting in the death of 15 officers and
a dozen injured. Realizing what he’d done, Black Warrior surrendered to S.C.R.E.T. and is now serving ten life sentences in a maximum holding facility.
Markus grew up admiring his father’s deeds and hoped one day to promote his father’s real message, helping those in need who are neglected by those with
wealth. When he started noticing his own mutant powers during high school, he thought about following in his father’s footsteps, then after witnessing his father being
led to jail by S.C.R.E.T. he decided to conceal his abilities from everyone, including his mother. After graduating from high school he left Chicago and went to Hollywood,
Ca hoping to become a stunt man. His mutant abilities made him a perfect candidate for training. Before long he appeared in a dozen films, and started receiving rave
reviews by people in the movie industry. He even started to take acting lesson hoping to eventually star in his own feature film.
Then one evening he received a telephone call from his mother. His little brother Oscar had been killed by enemies of his father. Markus returned to Chicago with
revenge on his mind, but instead of killing those responsible for his brother’s death he brought them to justice. It was then Markus decided the time had come to carry
on his father’s legacy. Two days later a hero calling himself Super Fist, he took to the skies. Within two years time he earned the total respect from every person living in
Chicago and enjoyed the cooperation of the mayor and the entire Chicago police department. Years later Redfire met him on patrol and asked him to join him in forming
a team of champions to protect not only Chicago, but the entire world. Super Fist knew of Redfire and wasn’t entirely sure if he should align his good name with the likes
of a vigilante. In the end, he decided justice for the world was worth the loss of a few brownie points with the locals. In a short while, he developed a strong friendship
with his teammates, particularly David Gordox. Before long, the fame he sought to erase the past deeds of his father came like an avalanche. Today people in Chicago
barely recall the villainous Black Warrior, but everyone knows and cheers for Super Fist.

HEAT RAY

David Gordox was a young college physicists working at the Orwell Nuclear Facility. He and a group of scientist were experimenting with a new nuclear reactor that
was suppose to produce ten time more energy than any reactor ever before. Yet for reason unknown the reactor became unstable and exploded. Everyone in the facility
was vaporized accept for David. He was turned into an energy being. For days, David wondered the countryside unable to return to a body of flesh and blood. Finally, he
decided to end his life by flying into outer space. To his utter amazement, he survived. Fascinated he decided to head toward the moon. Suddenly he spotted NASA’s
newest space shuttle having trouble. He flew to the ship and found it slowly descending into Earth’s atmosphere. Looking inside he could tell the shuttle’s crew were
unconscious. David managed to get inside and once he got to the cockpit, to his amazement he regained his flesh body, although he looked anything but normal. He
radioed NASA and told them about the situation. They talked him thorough the landing procedure, which allowed him to bring the shuttle safely to Houston. When he
emerged, everyone thought him an alien, which frightened the crowd and alarmed the media. David returned to his energy form and fled the area.
For the entire week, the country wanted to know what had saved the crew of the space shuttle. NASA and the astronauts simple wanted to thank the alien for
saving their lives, and preventing the destruction of the shuttle. Deciding that their thanks might be sincere and that their scientists might find a means to cure him,
David made a special trip to NASA, just in time to stop the mad scientist who planned the shuttle’s destruction in the first place. This time he not only received praise
from NASA, but from the then President of the United States. When asked if there was anything NASA could do for him, David replied no. He decided he could spend the
rest of his life being a superhero and decided to call himself Heat Ray.
A year later David moved to New York City hoping to make an even bigger name for himself as a super hero. A female reported name Patty Balbin asked to
interview him after he rescued a family from a burning building. David said he would allow it if he could buy her dinner. Two months later, the two were dating. A year
later, they were married. One the eve of their honeymoon she asked him to give up his hero ways. David argued what else was there for him, especially with how he
looked. She told him he had to if he wanted to be around long enough to see his children grow up. For his wife David gave up his super hero career and in time became
the proud father of twin boys Paul and Peter, whom were born completely normal.
David went to work for NASA who welcomed his return. For seven years, he kept his word until an anti-alien group tried to take over NASA. One of their vehicles
contained a hidden bomb. David managed to destroy the truck before the bomb exploded. Having saved hundreds of people once again, David felt the call of being a
hero once again. To his amazement, Patty gave him her blessing. David left NASA to patrol the skies of New York. Three months later, he met up with the vigilante known
as Redfire who asked him to join his group of Earth protectors. Seeing this as an opportunity to do even more good, he agreed. Although Patty wasn’t thrilled at the idea,
his boys adored the idea of their father being a champion for the entire planet. David soon became friends with his teammates, especially Super Fist. Family obligations
sometimes got in the way of being a super hero, but David found a way to make his two lifestyles work.

DOCTOR VIBRATE

Hall Garson was a student at USC who was always late for class. His chemistry professor finally told him, if he were late one more time, he’d fail his class. Worried
about the consequences of being late, Hall decided to find a means to move at faster speeds. After several weeks, he invented a belt that gave him the power to move at
superhuman speed, and attain a velocity equal to the speed of sound. Before long, Hall could arrive anywhere on time. He kept the knowledge of his belt a secret, but
the temptations to use it to impress his girlfriend Jane Winters, soon caught the attention of his college chemistry professor. He’d desired the belt for other reasons,
namely as a means to eliminate those he owe money too. He broke into Hall’s room and stole it. After destroying his enemies, the professor decided to use the belt to
satisfy his criminal urges for money and power. Feeling responsible for the crimes his professor committed, Hall decided to go after him with a spare belt, but this one
continually gave him problems. An all out fight broke out between the two speedsters. Finally, they were racing neck and neck when Hall grabbed his teacher by the belt
causing it to snap in half. No longer protected by the belt’s protective aura, the professor seemingly disintegrated. All of sudden Hall’s belt shorted out and exploded,
causing a disturbance in his body’s atoms and molecules.
To his amazement, Hall could now move at supersonic speed without the use of the belt and he controlled the vibrations within his own body and in the air.
However, he could no longer move at normal speed. Everything he did occurred at sonic speed, even the simplest movement or hand gestures. For days, he tried to
repair the belt and undo the side effects, yet nothing worked. He came to realized he needed something to cover his entire body, so he built a suit to give him control
over his physical movements. The suit worked, he reestablished normal control over his body, yet he could still move at supersonic speed, only now it was by choice. The
suit also gave him super fast reflexes and the ability to complete tasks at a faster rate. Unfortunately, if he wanted to live a normal life, he’d have to wear the suit
permanently. Hall debated what to do then one day while depressed and watching television he saw the local news report that the super villain team called the Fun
Bunch (not the current group) was causing havoc on Interstate 20 in Texas resulting in a massive 80-car pileup. Hall figured if could have been there, he might have
been able to apprehend those criminals. Right then and there, he decided to dedicate his life to ending the reign of terror super powered criminals brought to the nation.
Calling himself Doctor Vibrate, he crisscrossed the country bringing sonic speed justice.
Though he spent many years fighting crime coast to coast, Hall concentrated most of his efforts in and around the Los Angeles area where he became a major ally
with the LAPD. At the age of thirty-six, Hall considered retiring until he met Redfire who asked him to join his team of super powered champions. At first Hall rejected the
idea, but his 16 year old niece Mary talked him into it (namely because she was a big fan of Redfire and hoped to meet him). A week later Hall accepted Redfire offered
and joined the Omega Team.
Hall still regrets that Mary’s found one of his prototype speed belts and turned herself into a mutant. Nor has he ever like the idea of her joining Omega Team, even
though she has proven herself on countless occasions. Hall simply cares for her so much and has a difficult time seeing her partake in a life he never wanted for himself
much less her. With Redfire departure, Hall is questioning if should continue on as a champion of justice.

HOWARD CHASE

Howard Chase, the world’s most brilliant man is an alien from the planet Anuhoz. The vast major of his people are brilliant scientists
and inventors. Howard wanted to differentiate himself so he left his world and find one very primitive with its technology where he alone
could be considered the greatest mind in the universe. Unfortunately, Project Tyche shot his ship down and its crashed landed in the plains
of central Africa. Howard recovered but he ended up working for Ojore Bokaza, a deposed, ruthless African Warlord surviving solely on his
illicit animal trade. Ojore demanded Howard built him various weapons and gizmos to be sold in the criminal underworld. Howard obeyed
and began to make him lots of money, but still he wanted more. He wanted to regain his position as President for Life, but that would only
come about if he become so powerful no one would dare oppose him again. Furthermore, at the age of 57, his health was not what it used
to be. Howard built a perfect human looking android body to transfer his mind into. The only problem Howard needed to test the robot body
to ensure Ojore survival.
Rick Gordon survived the plane crash that killed his parents, but his body was so badly damaged, nothing could be done to save it. So
Howard transferred his mind into the android body them sculpted the physical features to perfectly match his old one. When Rick recovered,
he was none the wiser. Ojore became sort of a mentor for Rick and advised him to become a ruthless hunter to seek out the assassins
behind his parents’ death and kill them. At first, Howard found the irony amusing, than it sickened him, so he decided to assist Rick by
inventing the Humonger (Human-Monster-Generator) Harness. Within a year, the two friends found and slaughtered the mercenaries Ojore
employed. Fully satisfied with the test of the android body, he ordered Howard to remove the boy’s mind and replace it with his own.
Howard revealed to Rick it was Ojore who ordered his parents’ death. Rick turned his vengeance on the warlord. Afterward the duo left
Africa for the United States, where Howard purchased some private land in the Montana wilderness to construct a fallout shelter to ensure
their survival should the planet ever be invaded by aliens. Perhaps heightened by his fear of being discovered as an alien himself, Howard
concerns develop into a full-blown phobia. All the while, he and Redfire battle an assortment of super villains, ruthless dictators of rogue
nations, and alien menaces.
For four years, the duo protected the world. Howard Chase anti-alien paranoia continued to plague him. When the Covenant arrive and
remove the alien responsible for Project Daedalus at Century Station, Howard turned even more paranoid and convinced Rick he needs to
form a team of heroes to better fight the potential alien invasion. Rick agreed and Omega Team was born. Over the next ten years, Omega
Team protected Earth from all sorts of hostile threats, and slowly Howard’s alien paranoid started to wane, that is until the arrival of
Scrambler, the Arismal smuggler looking for asylum on Earth from the TMC. Howard wanted nothing to do with her, for he believed it was
just a matter of time before the alien police came looking for her (and himself for that matter), but what he really resented was the close
platonic relationship she and Rick developed. Howard felt he’d been replaced. Then for no explainable reason Rick decided to retire and
marry Julie Walsh. Howard knew full well Rick and Julie would be unable to start a family but he chooses to remain silent.

PULSAR

Mary Garson is the niece of Hall Garson (Doctor Vibrate). Her father Roger Garson works for the U.S. government’s S.A.T.A.R.
(Superbeing Acquisition, Training, Assimilation and Rebirth) program and is a good friend of Senator Robert Fitzgibbons. Try as he could,
Roger attempted to conceal the purpose of his job from his daughter, but Mary’s curiosity and inquisitiveness made her seek out the truth,
especially when she figured out her father was lying too her about what he really did. One day she hid in his closet while she listened in on a
heated conversation between her father and uncle. Her dad wanted her uncle to join S.A.T.A.R. and perhaps lead a team of super beings
similar to the Sentinels of Liberty and Justice. Hall refused stating he liked being alone and in a year or so he was thinking about retiring.
Mary suddenly stumbled out of the closet. Her father and uncle made her swear to reveal nothing about what she learned that day.
From that moment on, Mary paid close attention to everything her uncle was doing. She tried to get involved with his super hero
career as much as possible (sometimes using her knowledge of his secret identity to convince him to tell her more). It was Mary who
convinced him to join Omega Team, namely because she was a huge fan of Redfire and she hoped to meet him. A few months later for her
seventeenth birthday, Mary got her wish when Hall invited her to stay the night at Omega Team’s headquarters. Her father didn’t like the
idea, but he felt she could function as his spy and keep tabs on the Omega Team’s whereabouts and operations.
While the team was away on a mission, Mary went exploring. With a little luck, she figured out the code for one of his electronic safes.
Inside she found one of Hall’s prototype speed belts and decided to try it out. For two hours, she raced around the state of Montana
enjoying herself. The moment she returned, her uncle was there waiting for her. She gave him back the belt and to her amazement,
discovered she could still move/run incredibly fast and possessed the ability to fly at supersonic speeds. Somehow, the belt affected her
atoms and molecules but not exactly in the same manner as his. Hall knew he couldn’t send her back to her parents as a mutant, so he
asked that she stay for the summer. Soon he was training her to control her new abilities. He hoped by fall to send her back with the ability
to keep her powers a secret, instead she asked Redfire to let her to join the team. He asked that she prove herself. She went out and tried
to take on the villains Aggressor and Onslaught by herself. Although unsuccessful (she nearly got killed), it impressed Redfire enough to
allow her to stay. Hall was not happy with the decision. Mary persuaded her parents to let her stay with her uncle. She sewed herself a
costume and called herself Pulsar.
Over the next three years, Mary developed additional abilities and proved to be a valued member of Omega Team. When she
graduated from high school, Hall insisted she go on to college (hoping to persuade her to quit the team). Mary accepted a scholarship at
Montana State, which allowed her to remain close to her teammates. Although she found it difficult to be a full time student and a
superhero, Mary was making it work.

MICRONA

Rhea Haterstone was born to an abusive alcoholic mother who hoped one day to make it big with her singing career. Rhea spent most
of her life traveling around the country while her mother sang at karaoke contests or danced at sleazy nightclubs. Eventually her mother
came to Miami and became involved with a drug dealer name Jock Karr. Fearful of the company he kept, Rhea took to living on the streets
and staying over at friend’s houses for as long as their parents would have her. Eventually someone called social services. Rhea wasn’t home
at the time. When she finally did come home, an intoxicated Jock attacked her and knocked her unconscious.
A bloody and beaten Rhea woke up in a garbage dumpster. From that moment, she stayed away from home and wanted nothing more
to do with her mother. Life on the streets was rough. She avoided dangerous situations whenever possible, but at the same time, she did
whatever she had too in order to survive. One day she stood in line with several individuals upon hearing a man would pay out $500 to
anyone willing to donate some blood. Rhea and thirty other people showed up. The doctor and his associates not only took blood but also
injected their “test subjects” with an experimental drug that was supposed to make them physically stronger and healthier. Instead, it
turned twenty-nine of the individuals into rampaging lunatics. They ended up destroying several city blocks and causing the death of dozens
of people. Police in riot gear were called to restore order. They ended up killing half of the crazed-maniacs and those they didn’t seemingly
disappeared within two hours after being subdued and contained. Rhea was the only person who stayed sane and became physically
stronger, to the point she could lift a car over her head. Her skin became as hard as steel, she could hover/fly at will, and reduce her size to
one-eighth of an inch, yet retain her mass and strength. At first, she didn’t know how to control her powers and spent several days at her
shrunken size. However, the moment she mastered her abilities, the world became hers to do with as she pleased.
One day she tried picking the pocket of an older business looking man. He grabbed her arm. She lofted him up in the air. He suddenly
produced a mysterious gun and shrank himself to one inch in height. Rhea did the same. Amazed the two struck up a conversation. The man
turned out to be Eduard Weissor, the original Professor Fraction. Calling her Particle Girl, Rhea became his assistant. During her time with
Prof. Fraction, Rhea became a wanted super villain, having numerous encounters with super heroes and S.C.R.E.T. However, Rhea never
killed anyone nor did she do anything too inadvertently to cause the death of anyone. Her boss on the other hand had no qualms about
killing people, especially hostages. Rhea started questioning her goals and choices in life. Did she want to end up being just like the
Proffessor? That question was answered when he decided to hold an elementary school hostage for 100 million dollars. Using his shrink
technology, he shrank an elementary school to the size of a dollhouse with all the teachers and kids inside. One of the teacher’s assistants in
the school just happened to be Mary Garson. A shrunken Pulsar and Rhea battled for an hour. Eventually the exhausted heroine convinced
Rhea that her boss was not going to let the hostages go. When Rhea confronted Professor Fraction, he admitted it. Rhea turned on him. He
managed to escape while Rhea stayed behind to help restore the people. Rhea expected to be led away in handcuffs. Pulsar invited her to
come back with her to Omega Team HQ. There she persuaded Redfire into letting her join up with them. Redfire decided to give her a
chance, if she changed her name, but he wouldn’t allow her to stay at the mansion. She had to live in town and meet up with them if they
called her. After several successful missions, Redfire agreed to allow her into the mansion. Rhea has only been with Omega Team for just a
year and few remember that she use to be a super villain.

SCRAMBLER

Danteria is an Arismal like her brother Jarion only she adored a life under military leadership. Yet her father Zenys Flask, the Captain
of one of their surviving Leviathan-Class Battleships, refuse to believe his daughter had what it took to be a commanding officer. Danteria
always worked harder and did whatever she had to prove him wrong. Yet her father refused to recognize her potential. When Jarion left,
Danteria felt abandoned and wished he’d taken her with him. With his son gone, it allowed Danteria the chance to prove her worth and the
honor she could bestow upon the family name. Quickly Danteria rose to the rank of Lieutenant Commander but she began to hear the
stories of her brother’s exploits as a pirate. Growing increasingly envious of her brother and bored with the rigid command structure of
serving the military, Danteria asked her mother what she thought she should do. Her mother told her to follow her heart. The next day
Danteria stole an experimental stealth transporter and left the Arismal fleet. She eventually became a smuggler, selling high tech weapons
to non-starfearing worlds, a policy heavily frowned upon by the TMC. It didn’t take long before Danteria became as wanted as her brother.
Before long Danteria felt the galactic police breathing ever so closely down her neck. She decided to lay low for a while, choosing the planet
Earth to hide herself. By sheer coincidence, she picked the mountains of Montana to land her spacecraft where she was captured by the
Omega Team. At first, they interrogated her, believing her to be a spy, but it soon became apparent she was not of this world. Redfire found
her fascinating and invited her to stay with them. Before long Danteria earned the trust of the entire team accept for the paranoid Howard
Chase who envied the close relationship she developed with Redfire. A few months later, Redfire did something unexpected; he offered her
the mantle of leadership. He wanted to retire so he and his girlfriend Julie could marry and start raising a family. At first Danteria rejected
the offer, feeling she wasn’t up for the task. Later after successfully leading the team against their enemies, she agreed too. Now the Omega
Team is being lead by Danteria who is extending the teams status by having them perform numerous missions in the Ilta Quadrant which
has them often running into the TMC, but already countless worlds know the name Omega Team.

MOMENTUM

Becky Sharp grew up in Las Vegas the daughter of a stage magician Stephen Sharp (The Great Phantasmo). For most of her life, times were
tough for them. Becky’s mother, Lily, a Vegas showgirl died of brain cancer when Becky was ten. But it was her father who was the true love
of her life. He taught her most of the tricks of the trade, but it was her love of dice that really made her a standout. By the time she was
thirteen, Becky was a natural at a craps table even though she was very underage. When she turned fourteen, she was allowed to work
backstage to help her father. One night during a performance, her father was attempting to escape from a guillotine like device, when
something went wrong. The blade suddenly came down. Seeing it Becky suddenly screamed and the device stopped in mid-air. Her father
escaped the device unharmed but upon seeing the stunt the hotel immediately fired him claiming they didn’t want to showcase a
superhuman. She and her dad began to experiment with her powers. The trick became making it not look like she was doing anything so
they decided to sneak her into the audience. For a while, it worked and her father became a renowned escape artist/illusionist. At the age of
eighteen, Becky was getting tired of playing the “secret assistant.” Using a well-crafted fake I.D., she managed to sneak onto the casino
floor and start playing her game. She was wining a great deal of money until she went up against Alexander Valentine (Alex Pain). He
recognized the fact she was a mutant and decided to make her pay for cheating him. A few days later while her father was doing his famous
guillotine act, Pain was in the audience and used his illusion power to make it seem the blade dropped on top of him.
Everyone including Becky and her father thought he was dead. As a result, the emotional trauma put him in a mental hospital where he
remains to this day mentally scarred for life and unable to function in a normal everyday life. Becky soon received a letter from Pain
claiming he was responsible and that she should never cheat at craps again. Becky swore to get even. When Omega Team came to Vegas,
she sought them out and asked to be trained as a member. She lied about everything about herself including her age, history, wants and
desires, etc. The only thing she truly wanted was to be trained well enough to hunt down Pain. Redfire believed her and agreed to let her
join the team as the heroic Momentum. Within a few weeks, Redfire himself was beginning to feel a close bond with Becky, at the feeling
seemed to be mutual. Then an encounter with the Dane Brigade allowed Sapphire the opportunity to get up close and personal with Becky.
She knew the truth about her and her father, proclaiming it before Redfire and Doctor Vibrate. After defeating the Bane Brigade, Redfire
wanted answers. Becky revealed the truth about herself. Instead of feeling sympathy or compassion, Redfire felt only betrayal He expelled
her from the group and proclaimed he never wanted to see or her from her ever again. Now that Redfire has left the group, the question
some have wondered should Becky be allowed back on the team.

THOMAS DANE-Would be World Conqueror

The criminal mastermind known as Thomas Dane used to be a Demon Lord named Nybras. For thousands of years he was the chief
vendor of pleasures for the provincial rulers of Hades. He ensured whatever pleasures they desired would be meet. However, he grew
envious of those he served as their rank and status continue to grow, while his remain stagnant. Therefore, he made secret offers and
alliances with various Demon Lords in an attempt to put himself in a position of power. This infuriated the Ruler of Hades and he banished
Nybras for an indeterminate time to Earth. However, to add further insult he was given a humanoid body permanently paralyzed from the
waist down, forever confining him to a wheelchair. Police found the fallen demon lord naked and ranting about what the Ruler of Hades had
done to him. Thinking him a helpless homeless man, they took him to the Arthan Voorhees Psychiatric Clinic. There he continued to proclaim
himself a Demon Lord and that all should obey his demands. This led to solitary confinement and lots of drugs to keep him sedated. As time
went on several psychiatrists tried all sorts of therapy to convince him that he was a mortal man, and they nearly succeeded as Dane fell
further into despair. Then one day while sitting in his wheelchair in front of the pond in the back of the grounds, a duck perhaps sensing his
unearthly presence continually quacked at him. A boiling rage erupted from his lungs as he envisioned himself crushing its neck. Suddenly a
gigantic disembodied hand appeared and crushed the poor creature. Within a few hours Dane realized he’s regain only a tiny fraction of his
former abilities. Nevertheless, he believed they were more than enough for him to take over the world. Within a few weeks, he seduced his
therapist Crystal Deville, who became enamored with the idea of having power and ruling the world by his side.
He asked her to choose a number of psychiatric patients that would make good and loyal servants. Under her leadership, he sent them
to steal a secret book of magic out of the Pierpont Morgan Library. Reading the book provided the Demon Lord the instructions to perform a
black magic ritual; however, it also required the sacrifice of a dozen victims. Dane used several doctors and nurses from the hospital. After
completing the ritual, Crystal and the other psyche patients were infused with super abilities. Dane now used the hospital as his secret base
to launch his first plot at world domination. His first plan was to kidnap the President of the United States. The Omega Team was able to foil
his plan, but all the members of Dane’s Brigade managed to escape. Next Dane had the Brigade lay siege on the United Nations Building.
Again the Omega Team stopped him. Recently, he decided to use the black book to call forth an army of lesser demons to destroy
Washington D.C. Yet again, the Omega Team defeated him.
Dane’s remains a patient at the hospital and Crystal Deville is still his therapist. However, he’s become a model patient (although
everyone still believes him to be hopelessly insane) and he will continue to play the charade until it’s become a liability. With the
aid of Crystal (and his magical powers), he’s been able to conceal his and the Brigade’s criminal operations from the staff of the clinic.
Anyone who comes close to finding out the truth “disappears” (the hospital’s employment turn over ratio has increased since his arrival)
never to be heard from again. Note: Thomas Dane will attempt to align himself with any heroes to oppose Doctor Wilhelm Vilde to
prevent the forces of Dyval from controlling the planet Earth. Heroes should be leery, but open to the idea of
working Thomas Dane for the greater good

Money: So far, he has secured fifty million dollars. However, Dane is a gambling fanatic and it’s doubtful he’ll be able to maintain his
wealth.
Weapons: None, his powers give him all the protection he could ever need. He only learned how to use a gun in order to duplicate it
with his energy powers.
Equipment & Vehicles: Dane gets around in a specially made electric wheelchair. It can travel up to 10 mph and sustain that speed for
3 hours before needing recharging. The wheelchair needs only to be plugged in for 15 minutes for its batteries to be recharged.
The Book of Deuce: This medieval book of black magic not only provided Dane’s the means to bestow super abilities to his
servants, it also contain dozens of ritual spells within its pages. Dane can only cast these spells by reading them out of the book and
performs the ritual as instructed (must use the books P.P.E., not his own). For the purposes of simplicity, it’s safe to assume that all ritual
spells and spell incantations from levels seven and higher (must be cast as rituals) in Heroes Unlimited™ G.M.s Guide can be found in the
pages of the Book of Deuce. The book itself is indestructible. P.P.E.: 270. Performing blood/ritual sacrifices within 30 feet (9.1 m) of the
book, allows it to draw upon the victim’s doubled P.P.E. for 1D4 hours. The Book’s P.P.E. is influenced by ley lines and it can draw upon the
P.P.E. of others (specifically the Dane’s Brigade).

THE DANE BRIGADE

The Dane Brigade is composed of patients from the Arthan Voorhees Psychiatric Clinic. Every member of the brigade suffers from a
pre-existing mental condition or insanity. They are also criminals who were declared insane and not mentally responsible for their actions.
So to avoid having them incarcerated with hardened criminals, they were sent to the Voorhees Clinic for care and diagnostic services. Using
the Book of Deuce, Thomas Dane called upon evil supernatural forces to infuse them with super abilities. Although the magic turned these
low life thugs into super beings, it did nothing to remove their mental disorders. However, this is to Dane’s liking, because they are far
easier to control and less likely to betray him.
Crystal Deville, Dane’s therapist at the clinic, specifically chose each member of the brigade (they are all her patients). She knows
each of them well enough that even without Dane’s intimidating presence, she can get them to obey almost any request or order. She knows
exactly which mental buttons to press to get them back into line if they try to disobey or betray her and/or Dane. Even if she were not
Dane’s lover, she’d make the obvious choice as team leader since she is the only sane one of the group.

Note: The Arthan Voorhees Psychiatric Clinic is a voluntary facility that provides state-of-the-art mental health services and related
research and education programs for the New York University Medical Center. It provides diagnostic services and care for acutely ill
adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Specialty clinical programs have been developed to meet the needs of patients and families. Services
are offered for a wide range of diagnostic categories, including affective disorders, psychotic disorders and dual diagnosis. Few would
suspect that this facility harbors one of the world most dangerous super villains and his band of warrior who are ready and willing to do
whatever he asks.
