NIGHTLIGHT

The girl known as Nightlight is not a “human girl” at all but a humanoid from the dimension
known as the Realm of Shadows (See Rifter #20). This shadow world is one of danger and
total darkness. Shademen are the favorite prey of the monsters known to inhabit the
dimension. This particular Shademan was drawn to a mysterious dimensional gateway that
open before it while it fled from a Greater Shadow Beast. It went through the dimensional
portal and arrived on the dark streets of Detroit. Before it a man dressed all in white,
surrounded by street punks, and a 18 year old girl tied up to a pole. The man in white was
siphoning energy from her body to power some kind of ritual spell. He suddenly became
angry and took his knife and stabbed the girl in the chest. He and his entourage then left
the girl to die. The Shademan prowled up to the girl, feeling some kind of strange
connection to her. He grabbed her by her throat and choked the last bits of life out of her.
He then tore open her skull and devoured her brain. This caused him to transform into a
human of flesh and blood, in fact he took on the girl’s physical form and acquired her
personality, alignment, memories, etc. It still remembered its life as a Shademan. It knew
this body would only exist for three days so it decided to make the best use of it. To its
astonishment, the body possessed a host of shadow abilities, including turning itself into a
living shadow. Using these powers, the Shademan went after the villainous wizard and his
henchmen. One by one it killed them all until only the wizard was left. Drawing all her energy
she summoned a bolt of darkness that blew a hole the wizard’s chest after she encased him
in a Wall of Shadow. Having avenged herself, the girl wandered the streets of Detroit
exploring and looking for a possible new victim for the body would revert to its Shademan
form after three days, but the third day came and went. Before long it was a week, then a
month, then three. It appeared for whatever reason the girl’s DNA and the Shademan
permanently bonded together so know they were one and the same. The Shademan became
Nightlight completely and the memories of its life in the Realm of Shadows have become
merely a dream as she is now completely immersed in Nightlight’s memories. Nearly a year
later, she was drawn into a battle in the darkness of Africa with Judge Knight. He
appreciated her help and asked her to join him again. She agreed curious to know more
about this mysterious man and if he held any connection to the wizard. He did not but she
soon grew fond of him and his ability to take her to any place on the planet. Having little
else to do but survive, Night Light is never inconvenienced when summoned because during
the day she is avoiding direct sunlight and at night she prowls the streets looking to inflict
harsh punishment onto anyone who dares bring bloodshed or misery to her city streets. If
Nightlight were once again made to remember what she really is, she would do whatever
she had to avoid going back to the Realm of Shadows, where she likely revert back to her
Shademan existence.

LEROY BLAZE

Whenever the Sector wanted a psychic or super being taken out, they call Leroy Blaze.
Leroy was a Marine Gunnery Sergeant and a Scout Sniper. He was a dead shot with a sniper
rifle, earning numerous medals and commendations overseas. He was eventually contacted
by a Sector agent who invited him to serve his country for a mission that requires the
greatest patriotic sacrifice. Leroy agrees to it. First the Sector arranged it for him to be
honorary discharged from the Marine core (he leaves with 19 awards and decorations). He is
taken to the Sector headquarters in Freedom, New Mexico where he undergoes a radical
experimental procedure. The finally result makes him a super being who is virtually
impervious to psionic attacks. Overjoyed with the results, the Sector further trains Leroy
into a hunter killer of super beings especially rogue psychics. Leroy takes to his task with
full gusto, racking up twenty kills in three years. The more Leroy worked the less
compassionate he felt toward other super beings. It wasn’t long before Leroy started taking
out various super beings that were not targeted by the Sector. A few where heroes, some
were villainous, but most where individuals non-involved with the world around them. Leroy
started to recognize that he was turning into a serial killer. He took a leave of absence to
readjust his thoughts. Then one day he found himself among several other super beings led
by Judge Knight. Reluctant to participate, Leroy found himself forced to obey a person
whose will was greater than his own mental resistance. Afterward the Judge sent Leroy
home. He returned to the Sector, only this time he hoped to have a chance encounter with
the Judge. Two months later that opportunity came. Leroy tried to resist the mental
commands, and succeeded. He shot Judge Knight in the head. Hours later the Judge
summoned Leroy and the Judge made him pay with humiliation. Afterward the Judge swore
to Leroy that from this day forward, Leroy was going to be his little puppet. Days later,
Leroy was summoned before the Judge who was calmer and more at ease. He offered Leroy
a chance to redeem himself for his crimes against his fellow man. Humbled Leroy agreed.
Despite his extreme use of lethal force and killer instinct, Leroy is among the most loyal and
outspoken members of the Fate Battalion. One could argue he is the 2nd in command and
definitely the tactics leader. There is no question it’s because of Leroy Blaze that Fate
Battalion is so successful in their endeavors.

Real Name: Leroy Blaze
Occupation: Former Marine Gunnery Sergeant and Scout Sniper. He is still a Sector Covert Operative.
Alignment: Aberrant
Power Category: Experiment
Experience Level: 9th
Hit Points: 140 S.D.C.: 176

reddish hair and blue eyes. He wears various forms of body armor and is always loaded full
of weapons.

Side Effects: Chemical Resistant
Minor Super Abilities: Healing Factor, Impervious to Psionics, Extraordinary P.E., Iron
Will, and Psychic Disruption (special).
Psychic Disruption: This power is very similar to Mental Stun only its works
more effectively against those possessing psychic abilities. In this case, the more powerful
ones psychic abilities, the worst the affect as one’s own mental energies are disrupted and
play havoc with on one’s ability to concentrate, speak, and perform higher motor functions.
It effectively gives the subject a terrible migraine and causes blood to leak from various
orifices on the skull. The more mental energies one has, the harder it is to resist. Master
and natural psychics need a 16 or higher to save (M.E. bonus vs. psionics can be applied),
Minor and major psychics need a 13 or higher. Non-psychics need a 10 or better. Victims
lose 1 attack per melee round, -4 to initiative, and are -1 to strike, parry, and dodge.
Reduce Spd and all skill performance by 20%. The subject takes 1 points of hit point
damage per melee round. However for psychics if they succeed in making the saving throw,
they will find it difficult to use their abilities, for all psychic powers for the next 1D4+1
melees will required 50% additional I.S.P. to activate and their range, duration, damage,
penalty, and effect are reduce by 20%. If the psychic should fail his save, it’s like having
radio static blasted in both ears. All psychic abilities currently activated will cease/turn off
(Telekinetic Force Field, Summon Inner Strength, Psi-Sword, etc). All psychic abilities that
require less than 8 I.S.P. to activate will now require 16 I.S.P to activate and those that
require 10 or more will need DOUBLE their normal I.S.P to function. The duration, damage,
range, effect, and penalty are reduce by 50%. To activate any psychic ability requires two
attacks/actions and to maintain their duration requires half of one’s total actions for the
melee round. The duration of this terrible effect on psychics is 2D4 minutes.
Range: 60 feet (18.3 m) or by touch.
Damage: 1 point of hit point damage per melee round, see above for additional effects.
Duration: 1D4+1 melees if fail the save. For psychics if they fail the save 2D4 minutes.

WILD HEART

John Redeye grew up on the Crow Reservation in Montana. He spent most of his life
listening to the tales of his grandfather Robert Redeye. Robert always told stories of the
past and what it was like during the old days. Robert Redeye operated a convince store
that was regular visited by tourists. John after school helped out as much as he could. Days
after graduating from school, John was supposed to work at the store but he said instead
he wanted to be with his friends. On that day a vicious motorcycle gang road into area and
went into the store. They harassed the old man and made him give out free gas to them.
Then with pure hatred they assaulted him. They sprayed gasoline all over the store and set
fire to it. At that moment, John Redeye was called and told that his grandfather’s store was
on fire. John rushed over to see the store in flames. John rushed in flaming building. He
emerged unharmed, but his elderly grandfather was covered in three degree burns. His final
words were, “Do our people proud, I will be watching.” and he died. John got in his truck and
drove around trying to hunt down the motorcycle gang. He found them and went after them
with a near murderous rage. He found himself imbued with great strength, the power of
flight, and resistance to injury. He defeated the motorcycle gang but was gravely injured
(from bullets and knife wounds). In time he did recover but vowed to do what his
grandfather said. A week later, John Redeye was in costume as Wild Heart protecting not
only the Crow Nation, but all people in the region. Then he was summoned to Seattle to
help defeat a band of escaped mutant animals attacking a zoo. John agreed to be a part of

NIGHT STICK

Florence is a 71 year old grandmother who enjoyed spending time with her five children, 13
grand children, and two great grandchildren. Her husband Arthur died 15 years ago and she
still misses him to this very day. Arthur like her was a guard at Mountain View Unit, a
woman’s prison in Texas. Florence went by the name Nightstick because she could twirl hers
like it was a baton. Florence was a good person, but get on her bad side and she wouldn’t
think twice about putting you down and her fist down your throat. Many female prisoners
learned this first hand. Four years after Arthur died Florence retired and lived a quiet, joyful
life at her home in the country. In her later years she tried to remain active and do what
she loved best, but her health started to deteriorate. Then three days after her 70th
birthday she went into the hospital with pneumonia. While in the hospital her health was so
frail they decided to give her a blood transfusion. Unbeknown to anyone, weeks earlier, a 19
year old female decided to give blood for the first time at her local college. This girl was a
minor mutant with extraordinary strength and physical perfection. Five minutes after her
blood was put into Florence’s body she started to change, becoming healthy, beautiful, and
youthful. She also became tremendously strong, endurable, and highly resistance to injury.
She checked herself out of the hospital in the middle of the night. When she got home her
eldest son Ulysses and his daughter Maxine were there. They couldn’t believe it was her.
She made them swear to keep it a secret. The hospital called but Ulysses lied for her. She
went for a walk to try and clear her head, when three guys jumped her to try and take her
purse. She beat them to a bloody pulp. Afterward, she knew exactly what was going to do.
She made herself a costume and started out caring vigilante justice. She was having a
great time doing it. One day she was summoned by Judge Knight to deal with terrorist
threatening to destroy a large damn. Though inexperienced, she proved very capable. After
sending her home, she hoped to be called again by the Judge. She was in fact. Today she is
an outspoken member and the tough no-nonsense speaker of the group. She will get into
Leroy’s face and put him down. She also can talk to Robin and put her mind at ease when
she talks about the concerns she has for her family. Florence biggest worry is that one day
the power of the blood might wear off and she goes back to being an old, frail woman again.
Nonetheless, if it ever did happen, she could at least say she had a hell of a time kicking
butt and put some right in the world.

PSIMAN
(Simon)

Douglas Albert is a wealthy business tycoon and his wife Rose comes from old money. Their
son Vincent was expected to follow in his father’s footsteps. But at the age of 13, Vincent
started revealing psychic abilities, most notable the ability to effect the biological functions
or conditions of living things. He could also create devastating psionic energy bolts. All of
these powers Vincent concealed from his family, but he utilized them whenever he could to
get ahead in his private school. Despite his gifted intelligence, he amused himself by
tormenting his teachers and classmates. It all came to ahead when during his senior prom
when he used his powers to turn a girl he wanted to date against her boyfriend. She
decided to dance with Vincent just as he planned (and somewhat foresaw with
precognition), but he didn’t see the same boy sock him in the jaw. The boy tried to leave
with his girlfriend when Vincent struck him with an intense feeling of pain. The anguish was
so bad the boy eventually died after screaming for 25 minutes. Vincent was devastating
when he learned he’d done this. He swore never to do it again. Vincent head off to Yale
supposedly to become a doctor, yet although he excelled in science, he was still unsatisfied
with his life. Then a girl he knew was murdered. The police were not sure who done it. Using
his psychic powers, Vincent learned who did, but he couldn’t tell anyone. So he came up
with a brilliant plan to get the murder to confess. He dressed in a costume and forced the
killer to confess. Afterward Vincent found he liked wearing the costume. So he went around
becoming a vigilante around the campus calling himself Psiman Months later Judge Knight
came to the campus to do battle with another mutant student. Vincent offered his services.
He is only member of the Fate Battalion that was not initially summoned. After defeating the
mutant, Vincent agreed to help Judge Knight whenever possible. Vincent is still having hard
time concealing his powers from his roommate Nathan Lamb, his teachers, classmates, and
of course his parents. He wants to tell them the truth but he is so afraid too. So he keeps
running into close calls. He and Velvet have started to “date” one another and her bad
behavior is only encouraging his bad side which is easily swayed. He and Leroy do not get
along at all. But there is nothing he can do against Leroy and that scares him.

MANTIS

The woman known as Mantis has the most difficult life among all the Fate Battalion. She
started off as Robin Telly. She was girl who knew what she wanted and was determined to
get it. She used her looks and charms to play with men. She was a cheerleader for most of
her life as well as a star gymnast. During her senior year she started dating football
quarterback Brad Heart. They became close and intimate. Brad went off to college at Gulf
Coast University. Robin attended the same school majoring in nothing in particular. Three
weeks before the end of her freshman year, Robin learned she was pregnant. Becoming
pregnant started to have a mysterious effect on her. She didn’t really need food or
sustenance per say, but fed on the life force energy of living people. She dropped out of
school while Brad stayed in. While Brad slept she ventured out into the night to feed on
others. A couple of times she was assaulted by thugs and they quickly learned the price of
doing such a thing to her. Then one day a man in a suit Doug Shades offered her a real job,
working for Fabricators Inc. She was six months pregnant and needed money so she took it
despite the risks. Calling herself Vampira, she served as a Drop Team Operative for the
company. Some didn’t like the idea of working with a pregnant girl then she revealed what
she could do. Fabricators Inc gave her a special costume to wear to protect her. She
continued working until the day she went into labor. After her son David was born, she
thought her powers were fading instead she developed a new ability to accurate sense
living things. This only added to her hunger. Between taking care of David, dating Brad, and
being a super villain, Robin barely had time for herself. The jobs were also becoming riskier.
Then Brad took a hard hit on the field and suffered a near fatal brain injury. Her incredible
powers allowed her to heal herself but not others. Brad survived but it was the end of his
football career, but the coach agreed to have him work on the field as an assistant and still
attend the school. Robin also learned she was pregnant again. She continued her dual role
until Nancy was born. Following her birth, Robin developed the ability to control the super
powers of other beings. Using this long range power she became more of an asset to Drop
and Elimination Teams. As a result more money started to come into their lives. Robin hid it
all. Soon she started to hate Brad and her children because they were holding her back.
The power was corrupting her. When three year old David recognized it, Robin decided to
quit before she hurt the ones she loved the most. Heartbroken Doug (whom she been
having an affair with) allowed her to return to a civilian life. Secretly Robin started using the
money she made to support her family and pay for Brad’s schooling so he could finish
college. Robin resented it a little that he would finish and she would not. Three years later,
Brad graduated and the family moved to Ultropolis where Brad got a job as a teacher at
Aaron Cade High School. Yet Robin continued to feel the need to be her super villainous
self, but she held it in. For several years life was good, then Robin became pregnant again,
and as before she knew her powers would possibly grow again. After Reg was born, Robin’s
likeability and personal charisma became intensified. She could seemingly convince Brad of
anything she said, making him believe in any lie she told him. When Reg was six months old,
Robin was with him at the grocery store when she was suddenly summoned by Judge Knight
to arrive in Mexico to foil the assassination of the President. Robin was an emotional mess
demanding to be sent back to take care of her son. Judge Knight agreed but she gave out
her name to him. Days later in the middle of the night, the Judge summoned her again. This
time she did agree to help him. Robin delighted in the opportunity to be her true self again.
She agreed to find a way to commit to both lives. Today Robin tries to juggle it all. David is
12, Nancy is 10, and Reg is 2 years old. She continues to serve as a member of the Fate
Battalion whenever she can, using her amazing M.A. to convince/deceive Brad that she
really does nothing but stay at home and take care of the house. David and Nancy know
the truth what their mother does and think its way cool. Nancy hopes she develops super
powers real soon. She still sees Doug Shades who wants her to return to Fabricators Inc
(and to his bed again), but Robin wants to keep her marriage. She loves Brad but she loves
being what she is as well. She doesn’t know what she do if he or her family (and in-laws)
ever learned the truth.

STRAFE

Kyle comes from a large family. He has three older sisters. He is the baby of the family and
receives the most attention. His parents (Mitchel and June) believe he can do no wrong. His
sisters Alice, Kate, and Nichole (26, 24, 22) can’t stand he gets whatever he wants. When
Kyle was twelve years old his parents went camping. Kyle wandered off in the woods and
came across a pond full of unlabeled toxic waste barrels. He puts his hand in the orange
glowing water and it burned. When his family asked him how he got 2nd degree burns on his
hand, he said he stuck it in the fire. Three days later Kyle started become faster. Before
long he was breaking the sound barrier. He possesses astounding agility; heighten reflexes,
and an amazing sense of balance. To hide his powers he found himself doing anything to
burn off his need for speed. He joined gymnastics like his sister and outshined them all
winning numerous championships. In fact Kyle purposely did stuff so he would come only in
2nd or 3rd place. Kyle also decided with these amazing powers he was required to do
something to benefit mankind. So he made himself a cheap costume and started patrolling
the city (he didn’t sleep much during the night anyway). He started calling himself Kid
Quick. It wasn’t long before he was making a pest of himself with the Victory City Sentinels.
He struck up a close friendship with Firestrike who was 16 at the time. He fell head over
heels in love with her but she was older than him and saw him only as a young kid. Chester
Zane wanted him to stop hanging around. Paladin, Psyche, and Gale considered him their
junior member. This last for quite a while until the day the Slaughterhouse Seven attacked
the city. The VCS tried their best to stop the villains but they were no match. Kyle watched
helplessly as Double Speak killed Firestrike. Kyle’s legs where broken by Headstrong. If it
were not for the All-Crusader Squad and the Peace Keeper league, Kyle and the rest of VCS
would have died that day. While Kyle recovered, he was visited by Paladin and Gale. He
decided he no longer wanted to be a super hero any more. Four months later Kyle was just
getting out of physical therapy when he was summoned by Judge Knight to help him take on
a giant mutant (Growth, Extra PE, Hardened Skin, and Power stomp) from crushing a small
town in Iowa. Kyle was reluctant but soon joined in the fray. His confidence restored Kyle
told the Judge he would be happy to help at any time. Kyle was also glad to see the VCS
return to action as the Watchguard, but after Paladin and Brute were transported along
with Kyle to help with a mission in Iraq, the group became ever hostile toward Judge Knight
and his controlling behavior. Kyle is sadden by it but now considered himself an official
member of the Battalion, and changed his name to Stafe. He’s not sure what to do if he
graduates. Part of him wants to be a full time member with the Judge, part of him wants to
join the Watchguard, and part of him wants to do something else with his life. He is still
haunted by Firestrike’s death and he avoids forming a close female relationship with anyone.
He also finds it ironic that both groups have a person named Retread in them, although the
one with Watchguard was killed in action and he is nothing like Eric.

SHADOW WATCHER

The unofficial 14th member of the Fate Battalion has never been seen by anyone by Judge
Knight, although he spoken to them all at one time or another. The reason is he speaks to
them in their dreams. The story of Shadow Watcher’s punishment began 2000 years ago
when the young godling wanted to impress his father Shamash by retrieving a necklace from
the bedchamber of the goddess Ishtar. Zeusio completed the task and showed what he did
to his father. Instead of being proud of his son’s accomplishment he became angry with him
and decided to punish his son. He banished him from the reality of the material world,
forever denying him contact with anyone. He was worst then a ghost, he was nothing. The
centuries pasted and Zeusio was still pleading for forgiveness. He begged his father to
release him. Shamash claimed that until his son proved himself an advocate for law and
justice he would spend the rest of eternity D-phased from reality. Instead of trying to make
amends Zeusio flew into a rage and made no attempts to do anything. This last for over
1000 years until his bitterness and loneliness reached a breaking pointed. He begged and
pleaded for his father to release him, but the gods did not answer. Zeusio soon realized that
the influence of the Babylon/Assyrian gods was no more. They departed from the realm of
men. He was alone in the world. For several centuries Zeusio wandered the world looking for
anyone to communicate with. Soon he realized he could communicate with people in their
dreams. For while he enjoyed the conversations, but old habits die hard and before long he
was being his usual cruel self causing people to suffer terrible nightmares and sleepless
nights. Then one day he was drifting when he was met by Gary Jaxon. Gary explained his
mission and Zeusio realized this was his chance at proving himself. Zeusio serves as Judge
Knight’s ultimate spy going place that no one else can. He invades the dreams of member of
the Fate Battalion to observe their behavior without them knowing. He does whatever is
asked of him hoping that some day it will release him from his curse, however he continue to
fall back on his bad habits of amusing his own interests more than helping others, especially
when it comes interacting with people in the dreams.

lbs (123.75 kg).
Vulnerabilities: D-Phased from Reality (special). As part of his punishment, Shadow
Watcher has been D-phased from reality. This means he kind of exists as an ethereal being
(similar to an astral traveler), however he essentially does not coexist on the material plane
or in the astral plane. He doesn’t exist in actuality at all. He’s a true phantom, trapped
between dimensions existing as an unseen observer of the material world incapable of
interacting with it and none can interact with him. He cannot be seen by those who see the
invisible, psychics, children, supernatural beings, etc. He cannot be detected by any
supernatural or natural means. Nor can he be harmed in any manner by any power (natural,
magic, psychic, etc) that exists. Not even a greatest rune weapon can touch him because
he does not exist in this reality. All he does is simple observe. His magic does not work
either. The only person who can see and hear him is Judge Knight and the only reason he
can is because Shadow Watcher is the son of Shamash and Judge Knight receives his power
from Shamash.

Dream Travel (aka the Dreamstream). The only place Shadow Watcher can
actually interact with people is in their dreams. When living beings (including the
supernatural are asleep, Shadow Watcher can enter their dreams and communicate with
them in this non reality. Here he reigns supreme. He can manipulate the very reality of a
dream and utilize his powerful magic as well. He is fully capable of making a person’s worst
night seem real. In truth he usually speaks with the dreamer in an attempt to persuade
them to change their thinking. Note: For those wanting to play the full potential of Shadow
Watcher, read Nightbane™ World Book Two: Between the Shadow. Shadow Watcher enters
the Dreamstream as per the power Dreamdance: Superior (but it cost him nothing). While in
the Dreamstream, he has the same S.D.C and form as he would normally possess if his body
was existing on earth. He can Dream Manipulate with a +8 combat/manipulation bonus,
Dream Attack, Create Dream Objects, and utilize his spell magic and have it function just
as it world normally. Instead of spending I.S.P. he spends an equal amount in P.P.E. His
summon and banishing rituals will not work.

Time for a new villain group. Again these are some old characters I've dusted off, did some
tweeking too and updated them to 2nd edition. Use them if you like.

VENGEANCE FOR HIRE

Whenever you feel like getting even with someone these are the people you call. Vengeance for
Hire is a group of super beings/mercenaries who sell their services to anyone who can pay the
price. Originally they worked as a subsidiary for Fabricators Inc before striking out on their own.
They have achieved great success, enough so every member is wanted by G.I.G.M.A/U.S.
S.C.R.E.T., as well as the S.C.R.E.T.s for Canada, Great Britain, Israel, Australia, France, and
Russia. They are wanted by MTF, Interpol, SIS, MOSSAD, FBI, CIA, and dozens of other
agencies spanning the globe. Unfortunately their member changes so frequently that even if a
member is captured someone is quick to replace him or her. No single individual knows enough
about the organization to bring it down much less reveal the identity of its leader.

Regardless of the type of vengeance requested by a client, the price is fixed at $10,000 in cold
cash for non-lethal punishment/harm and $100,000 for lethal punishment/assassination/or killing
of significant other/family members. They only work with American currency with unmarked bills,
no jewelry, precious stones, gold, etc. Anyone who gives them counterfeit money will be found
and killed as will immediate family members. Do not cheat them ever. The VfH guarantee their
work. If they fail, there are no second chances. The client will not only be completely refunded
but receive an additional $50,000 compensation from each individual involved in the botch
mission and/or from Marvin Lord himself if those involved where captured or killed.

VfH retain a close relation to Fabricators Inc. In fact both organizations refer to one another if
the mission calls for their particular talent more so than the other. All Fabricator liaisons receive
a commission fee whenever they refer a client. Marvin Lord and Damon Lazaris share a close
business relationship, not just because they are both psychic, but Marvin has agreed to throw
his support to Lazaris if he successful takes over Fabricators Inc. That being said, Marvin also
shares a close relationship with Voltaic, who has participated in a number of VfH missions as
have several freelance operatives who serve on Fabricator Drop and Elimination Teams who have
not signed an exclusive contract with Fabricators. Marvin does a careful balancing act throw
support behind both so regardless if Lazarsis is successful or not, VfH will maintain its good
standings with either side. Fabricator himself has only met Marvin Lord three times since the
conception of the organization. As long as VfH proves a successful covert partner, they will
maintain a friendly/open relationship, but should VfH falter in any way or if Marvin Lord’s identity
or his secret life become compromised, he will order an Elimination Team (led by Voltaic) to take
out Lord, every VfH members and reduce their headquarters to unidentifiable ruble. Lord knows
this thus the reason he is more comfortable in dealing with Lazaris who “claims” he is more than
willing to provide whatever aid is necessary to ensure Lord’s protection should such a need
come about (none for the rest of the VfH members).

VfH besides the aid from Fabricators Liaisons have numerous liaisons and hirelings working just
for them as well. None of these operatives know the location of the headquarters or of Marvin
Lord identity or even have direct contact with him. The entire vengeance operation may take an
entire month to complete with most of the time spent on ensuring the legitimacy of the client
and his/her true intent. So far no spy or infiltrator has learned a single piece of evidence that
names Marvin Lord or the location of their base of operations and Lord intends on keeping in
that way. Employees and freelance operatives who are captured will be found and executed or
they take their own lives, thus ensuring their family and/or love ones do not come to immediate
harm. As a result, those who join VfH rarely do anything to attract attention to their selves and
do not engage in criminal activity outside of VfH. Few people in the criminal underworld know
even the code names of VfH most prominent members, and their turnover rate is so high most
never make it longer than six months. Lord insist on a 110% loyalty towards the company and
the price is too much for most individuals, thus the reason the most successful and long last
members are aberrant, with very few miscreant/anarchist and almost never or diabolic.

The only good thing about being a target by VfH is they are more than willing to turn against
those who hire them if the victim/target is able to pay them a counter fee (doubled of course)
but they have to have the money on their person right then and there. No going to the bank, or
back to their house to write a check, or giving them their million dollar gold ring, Cold,
untraceable cash is all they will take, however if the person has an account with Fabricators Inc
then an exception can be made. In fact Lord always does a throughout background check
(usually with Fabricator Inc assistance) to give its clients and/or employees a chance to
discover if they are the target for vengeance, hence the reason neither the Fabricator nor
Lazaris could ever use VfH against each other. In Marvin Lord’s wisdom, bribe money is just as
good as any other kind of money.

VENGENCE FOR HIRE CENTURY STATION HQ

Located in Avalon (home to the “old money” residents) the VfH operatives work unnoticed to
the eyes and ears of everyone around them. The former home of Marvin Lord and his wife
Elizabeth Ada Holloway, the Miles-Joan Mansion is a three story wooden mansion built in the
Federal style is the oldest mansion in Century Station and among the most iconic historical
homes of the Avalon district. Days after Marvin Lord bought the house, he had Fabricators Inc
expand the mansion on all sides, but more importantly built the super secret sub-basement that
serves as HQ for VfH. After Marvin Lord moved to Ultropolis to ensure his direct separation from
the organization, he had Virgil Hebert (EEL) take over the mansion and run the above ground
daily operations. The yard, doors, and windows have numerous surveillance systems to
determine the identities of anyone visiting or snooping around the grounds. The garden and
patio in the backyard have sufficient foliage to afford the VfH a high degree of outdoor privacy.
The main floor contains nothing that would indicate the truth about the residence of the
mansion. The first floor is open to the public for social functions. Private quarters comprise the
entire second floor. No member is allowed to keep anything that would reveal their criminal
lifestyle in their room. The third floor has a full equipped gymnasium, sauna, and steam bath.
There is also a recreational room full of video games and a cinematic 3D theater with surround
sound. The sub-basement is where all operational meetings are held and the emergency medical
facility (with a full time, professionally trained medical staff). It is also where the VfH house their
computer system which contains all their operational records and security data. The mansion’s
nuclear power supply, weapons, underground garage, and gear are held in this location.
Fabricators Inc also installed a total independent support system, a superior, automated security
system, a sophisticated identification system, and conventional defense and weapon system.
Ninety-percent of the full time staff working at the mansion has no idea that Virgil Hebert (the
mansion caretaker) and his friends are super criminals. VfH members live a normal life above the
surface. It is only when they descend below ground to the mansions sub-basement does the
truth become all too apparent. Under no circumstance will a VfH member (freelance or full time)
walk on the grounds in full costume. No one is allowed to be costume or gear within 100 yards of
the mansion. The underground garage has two tunnels that lead to two garages at two different
mansions just down the street (more full time staff live at these locations to keep up the
charade). On three separate incidents members of the Centurions, higher ups of Sector 10,
CSPD, Mayor Zardona, most of the City Council and the Council of Industry have attended social
functions at the mansion without knowing the truth about who lives and works at the mansion.

MARVIN LORD

Marvin Lord is the son of Nigel and Abigail Lord. Nigel Lord was the Chairman, President & CEO of
Stevens Business Holdings, the largest publicly-traded holding company; it owns numerous
insurance companies, manufacturing businesses, retailers, and other companies. Young Marvin
at the age of seven demonstrated psychic abilities, far superior than those of his mother (a
minor psychic). The psychic secrets of the family were kept very private. Two days after Abigail
Lord’s 41st birthday, she and her sister were killed in a botched kidnapping attempt by unmanned
terrorist group. Heartbroken Nigel Lord retreated from public life, allowing Lynn Gordon Hines (the
Vice Chairman) to run the company. At the time, Marvin was 16 years old, and becoming quite
the amateur tennis player. A few days after the funereal, while playing Gordon Hines at the
family’s private owned tennis court, Marvin shook Gordon’s hand in doing soon acquired the
memory of Gordon contacting the terrorist group to try and kidnap his mother. Hines was hoping
to random Abigail for tens of millions of dollars. Enraged Marvin swore revenge. When he turned
eighteen and his father still refused to return to public life, Marvin used his newly acquired trust
fund to contact people in the underworld who eventually put him contact with Fabricators Inc.
He asked for Gordon’s entire family to be murdered in public. He was told Fabricators wasn’t in
the “assassination” business, but a liaison put him in contact with people who were. It took
nearly half of his trust fund but Lord was able to pay professional killers to brutally gun down
Hines family while on vacation in Hawaii. Lord went off to Harvard Law School, where he was a
member of the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau, without an undergraduate degree. He eventually
graduated with a Juris Doctor magna cum laude, he founded and worked as a real estate
attorney at a law firm that had offices at Century Station. It was there that he watch the
destruction of the city. With all the suffering and tragedy, he couldn’t help but feel the same
way he did when his mother was brutally murdered. He remembers his thirst for revenge and
thought others might want to partake in the same endeavor as he did. Contacting the same
Fabricator Liaison, he had constructed a secret chamber beneath his house and he arranged a
meeting with numerous professional killers. He announced the creation of Vengeance for Hire, a
secret underworld organization who sell their services to anyone who can pay their minimum
$10,000 service fee. At the beginning they worked with the assistance of Fabricators Inc until
they were able to branch out on their own. Members came and left, yet Marvin Lord continued
to run the operation. Eventually he left Century Station and moved to Ultropolis to work as the
CIO for his father’s company since his father decided to return to public life and was more than
happy to have his son by his side. No one not even Marvin’s life Elizabeth and their young son
Aabel know what their dad does as a second job.

THE EEL

Virgil Hebert is a brilliant inventor but his eccentricity kept him from ever receiving recognition he
so badly wanted from his peer. No matter what he developed, no one could ever see the
practical application. One day while visiting an aquarium he stood several minutes watching in
fascination at the electric eel. He began to do research on the animal and became convinced
that artificial cells could be built that not only replicate the electrical behavior of electric eel
cells but in fact improve on them. Artificial versions of the eel's electricity generating cells could
be developed as a power source for medical implants and other tiny devices. As a means to
make it possible for paralyzed person to walk, he built a suit that used artificial electricity
generation cells to power it. Unfortunately the artificial cells made the suit take on a bright
green tint that could not be altered. So when he went before panel of five wealthy
entrepreneurs. The panel was known to evaluate and negotiate investment proposals from
entrepreneurs. When Virgil appeared before him in his power suit, he was immediately laughed at
and heckled. He tried to explain what the suit did, but he couldn’t get a word in from all the
laughter. Humiliated he walk out of the room and made his way to the roof. He was just about to
jump when he was struck by lightning causing an unexpected phenomenon to trigger in the
artificial electric cells that enabled him to become intangible yet be fully electrical. That night he
followed one of the entrepreneurs to him wealthy home. While he was in bed with his Virgil
“phased” into his room and walk into the middle of his bed. Seeing the successful businessman
smiling with his beautiful wife made something in Virgil snap so he turned on the electric field and
killed them both. He then stole all their jewelry and robbed their safe. He used the stolen money
and goods to make better improvements to his suit. Now he was calling him the villainous Eel.
His targets became the wealthy and pompous elite. He enjoyed making them suffer and using
technology (electricity) as a means to bring about their violent death. On several occasions he
did battle with various inexperienced Legionnaires, and caused the death of at least three. It
was long before he made the wanted list for G.I.G.M.A./S.C.R.E.T. Looking for some extra
backing, he learned about Marvin Lord’s group from a contact with Fabricators Inc and decided
to join up with the VfH organization. Right away he established a positive working relationship
with Marvin and proved to be a loyal and valuable member. When the team was nearly captured
by the Sentinels of Liberty and Justice for a botch assassination job against the CEO of the
Cyberworks Network, it was Virgil who managed to save half the team at the price of nearly
losing his own life. After his recovery, Micheal Lord announced he was leaving Century Station
and was putting Virgil in charge of the daily operation of the Miles-Joan Mansion as it caretaker,
a position that required him to meet with tourists, wealthy business people, and the upper
echelons of Century Station. The quirky inventor taking the sophisticated alias Colin Hardin not
only managed to convince these people of his aristocratic flair, but that he wasn’t a killer who
enjoyed killing wealthy people. He was hobnobbing with socialites as if he been one all his life. In
his mind it’s a necessary evil, but nothing thrills him more when he get an assignment to take
one of them out. Net to VJ he is the most loyal and consistent member of the VfH thus the
reason he enjoys so many perks from Mr. Lord. Virgil is hoping one day to get the go ahead to
take out Mason Blodgett. He simply can’t stand the man who seems to have parties at the
mansion at least once a month.

LEAD FOOT

He has only been with the VfH for six months and he’s proven himself a worthy addition. Despite
the low intelligence and the inability to remain focus on the task at hand, Lead Foot has already
taken out half a dozen police officers and one ARV when the VfH needed a quick get a way. He
doesn’t talk much about his past. Apparently he was born a very big boy, so big he killed his
mother during the delivery. His father always took it out on him. He was raised by various baby
sitters and his alcoholic aunt. He avoided a life on the streets because he took up in a Boy’s
Club where he learned to fight (boxing and wrestling). In high school he tried to go out for
football but grades where always an issue. Eventually he did make the team and during the
senior year, he ran over anyone that got in his way. He led his team to a state championship. He
was recruited to go to college at Nebraska. However, two months into the school year, he
overheard they learned that he was a mutant and by school policy he was ineligible to
participate in any college or professional sports. G.I.G.M.A was coming to talk to him. So Burl
ran away. Need money to survive he became a bouncer at a tough, no-nonsense bar in Motor
City. One day while in the bar a huge fight broke out with rival biker gangs. Burl put his foot
down and caused half the ceiling to collapse. He fled the city and made his way to Chicago.
There he was discovered by former VfH member Laser Ray. He was brought back to Century
Station and given a through look over by Eel. They decided to give a trial run and when he took
out the police and the ARV he was elected to full status. Last month Laser Ray was killed by
Hardhand of the Gridrunners. Now Leadfoot wants revenge, but VfH only performs contract
killings. Leadfoot is strongly ready to do what he has too in order to get even after all they are
all about revenge.

KILL GLOBE

Kelvin Hobbs was glad to get a job build in the West Texas Project. The Electric Generating
Station was going to be the newest and largest nuclear power facility in the nation, capable of
providing clean energy to two million Texas homes. Construction occurred without problem or
delay. On the day however the nuclear rods were supposed to be brought, agents of the Dark
Tribunal struck trying to steal the rods. Fortunately S.C.R.E.T. and Sector operatives were on
hand to stop them. But despite all the heroics, Kelvin found himself exposed to the deadly
nuclear rods. Instead of being killed instantly the radiation turned him orange. All his hair fell off
and his eyes glowed. Before long he was radioactive. Kelvin was taken to a medium secure
S.C.R.E.T Hold Facility where they started conducting numerous test on him to figure out why
he turned out the way he did. This did nothing but anger him. He wasn’t a lab rat he was a
American citizen who been cursed with a terrible infliction. After several weeks of incarceration
the Dark Tribunal attacked the holding facility allowed Kelvin to escape. However he had no
intention of joining up with alien beings and fled the area until he was found by a radial arm of
the Mutant Underground. Members with money and influence managed to contact Fabricators
Inc who designed him a special suit so he could walk among normal people without poisoning
them and being detect by radiation detectors/Geiger Counters. The first thing he did was taken
revenge on those who hired him. He attacked the West Texas Project and made sure the project
would forever be closed and never started up again. Marvin Lord was very impressive with his
outing and with assistance from Fabricators manage to have a conversation with Kelvin and
talked him into joining the VfH group. Kelvin spends most of his time locked way in the
sub-basement where he answers calls, relays messages to Marvin or Eel, and keeps an eye on
the affairs of the mansion beneath the surface. He like to be on the surface more often, but he
enjoys the chances he gets participating in a VfH operation. Nothing pleases him more than
taking advantage of someone who’s got it all. Whenever it’s poisoning them with enough
radiation to cause cancer or incinerating them to ash, Kelvin enjoys it all the same.

while they are pressed up against/holding his opponents. This point blank attack almost
guarantees radiation poisoning or death to his opponents.

RED SCORPION

Jerry Harper loves technology ever since he was a little kid. He simply had a knack for it. He was
always building things when he was young, but not with wooden blocks but with things that
requires nuts, bolts, screws, and wires. This passion followed him all his life. In college, he joined
up with a Professor Max Mercer who wanted to device a telemental helmet that would allow
disabled people to have a full automated home with everything functioning for them with but a
single thought. Jerry and Professor Max proved quite a team together, enough so they won the
Gulf Coast University Science Fair. The U.S. Air Force was very interest in the helmet and it’s
amazing application. They were willing to fund the project but it had to have military application.
Mercer wasn’t too sure on the idea he wanted the civilian aspect to take priority. Jerry who just
recently graduated with his degree was looking at the big fat contract and the money more than
aid he be doing for others. Within a couple of months they modified the helmet and got it to
function universally for any aircraft in the U.S. Air Force fleet. One helmet enabled anyone to
pilot the aircraft. As a demonstration Jerry who was a certified pilot would take up an F-16 (the
aircraft at the time). Jerry took off with the upper echelons and generals of the U.S. Air Force
watching. For the first five minutes of the test everything went perfect then an act of sabotage
occurred within the plane’s avionics. Jerry also found himself experienced a high level of stress
trying to control the plane, despite his best efforts the plane was a flat spin and he could not
recover it. At that last possible second, Jerry tried to eject. He ejects directly into the
jettisoned aircraft canopy and knocks himself unconscious and shorts out the helmet. The plane
crashed and explodes. Jerry awakens days later in the hospital. The entire project is scraped by
the Air Force who wants nothing more from either one of them Jerry become determined to
prove it was sabotage, but Mercer want him to leave it alone. In the days that follow, Jerry
soon learns he has developed a strange affinity toward machines and that he can actual merge
with them or cause them fall apart. Using these powers he is able to get back on the Air Force
base and observe the logs of the flight. Sure enough he learns it was indeed sabotage, but to
his horror he watches a video tape of Professor Mercer being the only one capable of pulling it
off. Enraged he later confronts his mentor about what he did. Mercer doesn’t want to hear it
and tries to drive away. Jerry causes the cast to malfunction and slides right into oncoming
traffic. Mercer is killed. Days later a E-3 Sentry starts to take off when a man sneaks on the
base and just as the plane lifts off over head. He does something to the plane that causes it to
crash half a mile down the runway killing everyone on board. Jerry manages to escape. So start
his Techno Terrorist careers as the villainous Red Scorpion. He uses his powers in an instance
that allows him to kill with technology. His worst act was to causes a chemical truck to jack
knife on Interstate 5 in California causing a massive explosion and a 37 car pileup that kills
dozens of people. Days afterward he was contacted by Marvin Lord who wanted to hire him from
VfH. Jerry agreed without question. Red Scorpion has over the years proven to be one of the
most dangerous members. Content to follow the rules as long as it suits him, Red Scorpion looks
for an opportunity to increase his position within the group. Perhaps there is a way to trick Eel
into giving up information on Marvin Lord which could create a domino effect, however he knows
the full effect of the Fabricators warning and he not about to risk his own life just to raise his
own status.

SLASH

Since she arrived in this country seven years ago, Slash has cut her way through the
underworld. Her reputation as an assassin crisscrosses the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. Well
known in Japan as the Killer Geisha. Anyone who confuses her with being a “lady of the evening”
quickly finds out that she is anything but “a streetwalker.” She has her own honor code. She will
not kill unless in her “assassin attire” and nothing short of death will make her break that roll.
Marvin Lord considered it a pried honor when she came to Century Station three years ago to
ask to join up with the VfH. Her initial reason for coming was because of her mysterious
relationship with Hitomi Masamune (Head of the Century Station Kagemusha Ryuujin). What kind
of relationship neither will say. She now spends her off time walking around Society Hill blending
in with normal every day people. When it’s time for a mission, she spends the hours dressing and
preparing to do what she does best, to kill with knife and/or sword. She descent English but has
little to say to anyone. However, she can be a non-stop talker to anyone who speak perfect
Japanese.

Real Name: Unknown
Occupation: Assassin, professional criminal, and mercenary.
Alignment: Aberrant
Power Category: Mutant
Experience Level: 8th

an athletic young woman. When she is in her assassin mode, she wears a black kimono and
imitates the look of a traditional geisha. The white makeup on her face is severe contrast to the
rest of her appearance. In fact it almost looks like mask over her face. Her wardrobe is adorned
with throwing knives. She is never far without her katana. She wears a flat-soled sandal (zori)
outdoors, and wears only tabi (white split-toed socks) indoors. In inclement weather geisha she
wears raised wooden clogs, called geta.

hands with long slender fingers.

to throw).
Weapon Master: This unique ability allows the owner to pick up and master any
hand held weapon. This includes guns, knives, swords, rocket launchers, and other melee or
range weapon, ancient or modern. When held by the person with this power, he or she gains the
W.P. of the item at 15th level of experience with the owner receiving all the bonuses that come
with it. It takes one melee round to master a weapon. The only limit this power has is the
number of hand to hand attacks the character might have. However once the weapon is set
down, after 15 seconds (a full melee round) all knowledge of that weapons disappears. Of
course pickup the weapons against restores the bonuses, but again it will take 15 seconds. With
this power there is no real need to learn a W.P., however it takes 15 seconds (one full melee
round) to become a true master of the weapon. Paired Weapons can be taken, but it requires
the same (or similar) item to be held in both hands, for example two sais can be held or a katana
and a wakizashi, but not a gun and a nunchaku. Only one weapon at a time (unless paired) can
be mastered at any given time. Note: The power only works if the weapon is held in the hands.
It cannot be carried on their person or held in some kind of packaging (backpack, purse, etc).

NIGHT CAT

A TMC prisoner transport craft was bombed right as the craft was entering a gateway. The TMC
released all their prisoners in escape pods along with themselves. Night Cat’s pod traveled
through the gateway and ended up in coming out of the gateway outside of Jupiter orbit. The
craft eventually crashed landed on Mars. Night Cat used her emergency life support suit to
sneak on board an Earth capsule returning to Earth with soil samples. When the craft came into
Earth atmosphere she utilized her anti-gravity ring to land safely at Earth. She prowled the
streets of Motor City until the dangers became too great for her. She fled and made her way
during night and hiding it the day until she reached Chicago. There she found aid with the
Mutant Underground. She stayed with them for several months with them before deciding to
make a living for herself as she was back home on her home world, an assassin. One mutant put
her in touch with a Fabricator Inc Liaison. She did a number of freelance jobs before he
recommended her to VfH. She and Eel hit it off right away. In fact he took a liking to her.
Eventually she met with Marvin Lord. She also liked her as well. Unfortunately she lacks some of
the discipline that they both like, nonetheless she proved to be a valuable member. She takes
risks, particularly by flaunting her unusual looks in public, especially at dinner parties at the
mansion. However, these same risky flirtations have allowed VfH to acquire several contracts
and easy access to wealthy individuals with sub-par surveillance of their home, particularly after
Night Cat has disabled their alarms systems after having a night cap with the owner. She has no
problem sinking her teeth in the neck of a victim and tearing out their throat. She plays her
flirtatious attitude with Lord when she gets the chance, thinking it might earn her some special
favors. Virgil Hebert is not amused when she does.

YELLOW DEATH

Joshua went to school to study nursing because he wanted to help people. Years later he found
himself caught in a hospital system that founded upon male nurses, dealing with hundreds of
yards of red tape, and exhausted from doing all the leg work for doctors. The only thing that
made things better was when he took time to do his other hobby which is archeology. Instead to
some dry desert, he did most of his archeology in England. He joined with an old college who
learned about an unusual grave found at a construction site near the original location of the
North Gate in London. In the grave they found the skeleton of a man with a strange crack in his
skull. What was truly remarkable was a pristine golden Gladius (a Roman short sword carried by
the legionaries). It didn’t take the two archeologist long to figure out that this corpse of Nennius
of Canterbury, a prince of Britain at the time of Julius Caesar's invasions of Britain. The sword of
course was none other than Crocea Mors, the sword of Julius Caesar himself. According to
legend, the sword was forged by Vulcan (Mars) and bestowed upon the Trojan prince Aeneas by
his mother, Venus (Aphrodite). The sword was lost during the years of the Roman Republic but
was found again by Caesar in his youth. When he came to conquer Britain, he brought with him.
Nennius of Canterbury happened upon the legion Caesar himself was commanding. Nennius and
Caesar came to blows. Hoping to kill his opponent with a single blow, Caesar raised his deadly
blade down with all his might but Nennius' shield met the blade, which deflected onto his helmet.
The force of Caesar's blow planted the blade into the helmet with such force that Caesar could
not retrieve the blade, and he was forced to abandon it as his forces were routed. Nennius
managed to pry the blade from his helmet (not to mention his head) and employed it against the
Romans, killing many. But his victory was in vain. Fifteen days after the battle, Nennius died from
the wound inflicted upon him by Crocea Mors. The sword was laid with him in his tomb, and now
the tomb was discovered. Joshu was fascinated by the weapon. According to legend, whoever
wielded the weapon would rule his world. The temptation became too great. He snuck into the
museum in which he and his partner were working at and took the sword from its scabbard. The
moment he did he was transformed into a Roman Legionnaire. Using the powers of the sword, he
escaped the museum and depart to parts unknown. Months later he resurfaced in the U.S.
calling himself Yellow Death, a super villain not looking to make himself king, but a professional
thief using the power of the sword to steal whatever he wanted. Eventually he heard about
Durandal. He was determined to possess the most powerful sword in the world, so he challenge
the Centurion to a dual. They battled over the city, with Durandal proving the victor. Joshua
escaped and went into hiding. Months later he reappeared at Koan Memorial working as a nurse.
He was merely bidding his time waiting to attack Durandal again when he ended up saving the
life of an injured Virgil Hebert. The two of them got to talking and he agreed to work the
mansion, not only as their paramedic, but as Yellow Death as a member of the VfH. However,
despite all the good deeds and close association he has developed with his companions of the
years, the main thing on his mind is taking another crack at Durandal. He wants both weapons
or to at least destroy Durandal so his blade of legend will be the only one in existence. Note: If
someone showed claiming to have Excalibur, he go absolutely ballistic.

VJ

She is mean, she is sexy and she loves to kill. Her name is Veronica Jones or as she is unknown
by her trademark VJ. A former Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corp, she fought valiantly to prove
herself worthy of receiving training in the infantry, artillery, armor and pilot/air crew. Despite all
her attempts change did not occur. To prove herself, she intensely trained in the use of modern
weapons, becoming a superior designated marksman, a demolitions experts, and self taught
special ops soldier. Instead of proving herself among her peers, she was frown upon. One day
while working her rifle, someone did something to the gun causing it to explode in her face,
destroying her right eye. Because of the injury she was “forced” into an honorable discharged.
Her case did not go unnoticed, she was picked up immediately by G.I.G.M.A. who like the idea
she was self-taught. Given a cyber eye, she was trained as a field agent and sent to work.
However, instead of going out to collect a warrant to arrest super beings or contacting
S.C.R.E.T., VJ bought herself a sniper rifle and various other weapons and killed the target
herself. Clean and effectively with minimal or zero casualties. This immediately put her into hot
water with her associates who didn’t like the idea of a field agent going above federal law. VJ
didn’t see anything wrong with it at all. When told to cease with her actions or face criminal
charges, VJ agreed. Three days later her home agent boss was killed from 900 yards away with
a shot through his head. From that day forward, VJ became an independent operative working
for anyone, yet within a week she was hired by Fabricators Inc. On her first mission, she worked
with Voltaic himself. When the mission was over they became romantically involved. The
relationship last for two years, when VJ decided to call it off since he was unwilling to share the
details of its involvement with the Fabricator. Still good friends, VJ hooked up with Marvin Lord
and Virgil Hebert. VJ was the first VfH to make an official kill for group. She consider herself to
be the original and longest serving member. She above all follows the group to its core values
and belief system. Anyone who disobeys she will kill herself. She is responsible for killing more
VfH members than any hero, law enforcer, or villain. Most supers do not given her the pause she
deserves. She maybe not be strong enough to take on a super physically or mentally, but that
doesn’t mean she can’t use her cunning to kill an opponent in an unconventional means. Some
speculate she has killed more supers than any single individual in the United States.

Fabricators Vibro Sabre and Knives,
VJ Det-Gum, Every year since her 24th birthday the infamous Doctor Dynamite (7th
level Mad Scientist and Tinker Gizmoteer) has been sending her a 20 lbs (9 kg) block of an
explosive tropical fruit gum. The gum is completely harmless to VJ. When she sticks a piece of
gum in her mouth, her salvia activates the chemical reaction that causes it to explode. As long
as VJ continues to chew the gum, blow bubbles, etc, the gum will not explode. If she takes the
gum out of her mouth and waits 45 seconds (3 melees) it will explode equal to 2 ounces (56 g)
of plastic (1D4x10 damage to a localized or 1 foot/30.48 cm blast radius). The gum of course
can be utilized just like ordinary bubble gum the only difference is it’s an explosive, detonating
shortly after it’s adhered to nearly anything. VJ has developed a 101 different uses for the gum
and they’re cunning and/or lethal. Anyone else who puts the gum in their mouth can expect the
gum to explode in 30-45 seconds, doing quadruple damage direct to their hit points and even if
you head doesn’t explode, you’re missing teeth and your tongue is in shambles.
Armor: She wears a variety of full suits of modern armor, typically hard or class 4 armor.
She also owns two suits of Fabricators Inc FA-70 Standard Ultra-Lite Flexi-Steel Body Armor

infrared vision, and telescopic vision 1600 feet/488 m).
Vehicles and Equipment: VJ has full access to all the equipment and gear used by the
VfH. As a freelance operative for Fabricators Inc she has limited access to their equipment. She
also has the following with her that she utilizes a lot.
FS-34 Stealth Boots
WS-12 High Velocity Mini Jet Pack
VJ owns a black 2007 Ferrari F430 Spider. The car has been modified into a Souped-Up Car by
Fabricators Inc (see Secret Operative).
FATALITY: Sniper shots to the head or using her chewing gum in devilish means. She will
use any explosives or any kind of fiendish trap that kills her opponent.[/b][/b]

You pay VfH $10,000 for a non-lethal vengeance and they will come up with something very creative for you. They only do lethal vengeance for $100,000. This is listed in the info section about the group. Glad you like them. Hope they find some use in yours games. They specialize in
revenge and it can take whatever form their evil minds come up with or it may depend upon the
will of the client

Wouldn't you know it. I completely forgot in Villain Unlimited 2nd edition (hate calling it that)
that an alien race called the Krit are mentioned in the section of the Toogarth Aliens. They are
mentioned but not given any detailed information. So here they are.

KRIT

On the planet Kritana (slightly bigger than Venus) in the Titrana Quadrant the insectoid aliens
call the Krit can be found. These black ant humanoids spent centuries a primitive race (Agrarian
Age) perfecting the use of archery in their immense forests. Eighty percent of Kritana is covered
in giant red wood forests. The wood possesses twice the strength and durability that it does
here on Earth. The Krit lived in peace and harmony with their fellow kin. Then the one hundred
and fifty years ago, the Toogarth invaded their home world. It took them only a week to
completely conqueror their planet. The first thing the Toogarth decided to do was cut down the
trees and start building large military bases while in their skies overheard they built refueling
stations for their fleets of air and space craft. Before long one-third of Kritana was deforested
and heavily minded for its mineral wealth. The Krit were made into a slave labor force. Despite
their high resilience to injury, the chemical weapons the Toogarth used against them they had no
defense against. The chemicals also made seventy percent of all females sterile. The Krit
realized they were know a dying race, and with most of their people being used as front line
soldiers for the Toogarth to utilize in their continue expansion. On three separation occasions,
Krit have tried to rebel against their oppressors, but all they have ever done is succeed in
getting the brightest and most able body leaders killed because of such actions. As a result
most Krit have resigned to their fate and won’t lift a finger to do anything for their people but
willing follow the orders of their oppressors no matter how cruel and intolerable they are against
their own people. However, there is an ancient legend written four centuries ago that foretold
the Krit would one day become an enslaved race but a band of heroes would one day arrive from
another world and lead them to freedom so they once more might know peace and prosperity.
There are some who hope there is some truth to the legend, others are already to broken
hearted to care and merely await the day when the last Krit takes its breath of air, and then
and only then will their suffering end.

The JP Gang after all needs to find some way to keep Mr Hero and Mrs Florence Nightingale off their butts so they can make money.

It's really appalling how lazy they were in doing Villains Unlimited to just add that little bit of material and not update anything else. I'm just saying...

I know Cardiac the creator of this thread did Evil Eye and the two Toogarth however he didn't
provide stats for their actual alien races. So in the true spirit of this threat which is to update
things to 2nd edition, I'll give the races and update as well. Oh and I haven't forgotten Gaby's
challenge either. May take a bit but I'm up for the challenge.

ZYLIK

The Zylik came from a low gravity planet the size of Venus called Vodos. They were a Metropolis
Age race without space travel. After being incorporated into the Toogarth Empire, they started
to acquire more advance technology namely from their masters. The Toogarth eradicated every
living Zylik on Vados. Now the remaining two thousands Zylik are on the run, hiding throughout
the galaxy (accept in Les Iban/Atorian Empire). They have trouble finding allies for most races
especially the FAR, TMC, TGE, even the Dark Tribunal on Earth want nothing to do with them.
They are so mistrusted most races are inclined to turn them for the reward credits (75,000 alive
or dead) issued by the Toogarth, although the Toogarth themselves are more than eager to seek
out the Zylik themselves then pay reward money to others.

R.C.C.: Alien
Alignment: Any, but tend toward evil.
Attributes: I.Q. 3D6+6, M.E. 3D6+12, M.A. 3D6+12, P.S. 3D6, P.P. 3D6+4, P.E. 3D6, P.B. 2D4, Spd. 3D6.
Experience Level: 1D4+3 on average
Hit Points: P.E. attribute + 1D6 per level of experience.
S.D.C.: 1D4x10+20. Additional S.D.C. can be gained by selection of physical skills.
P.P.E.: 6D6 + P.E. attribute score.
I.S.P.: M.E. attribute x3, plus 2D6x10. At each new level of experience, add 12 I.S.P. per
each level of experience, starting at level one.
Appearance: A tall, lanky humanoid with blue skin broken by patchy pale orange
splotches and blue hair. One huge eye (size of an orange) takes up most of the head. On each
hand (three fingers and opposable thumb) there is an eye in the palm.
Age: 120 years on average, Height: Females: 5+1D6 feet (1.82-3.35 m),
Weight: Varies on different planets, 230 lbs (103.5) is average weight on Earth.
Originating Alien Environment: Low Gravity
O.C.C.: Any, however most of the remaining Zylik are either Military Specialist or
Rogue/Smugglers. All Zylix receive a +5% bonus to the following skills if they possess them:
Barter, Performance, Public Speaking, Wardrobe & Grooming, Interrogation, Anthropology (any),
Business & Finance, Law (General), Research, I.D. Undercover Agents, Language, Literacy, and
Seduction.
Natural Abilities: Supervision: Angular Vision (See Powers Unlimited 3, page 21), although
Zylix have a single eye on their head, they can still see normally, with full depth perception. The
eyes on the palms can function like their main eye. However, whenever a Zylik wants to hold
anything with its hand, the eyelids on the palm close. The eyelids themselves unlike regular
eyelids are a bit thicker and harder/denser than normal (NAR 11). This enables the Zylix to utilize
their hands without damaging the sensitive eyes in the palms of their hands. By closing the lid
(reflex action, just like those of a normal person), the Zylix can punch, slap their hands on a
table, shoot a gun, clap their hands together, juggle, palm a basketball, etc without difficulty or
injury to the eyeballs. If all three eyes are open (open palms), Zylix have the equivalent of
Supervision: Circular Vision (See Powers Unlimited 1, page 45). Because they have three eyes,
Zylix are difficult to blind and almost impossible to sneak up on.
Natural Psionics: At first level, Zylix possesses ten powers selected from any of the three
combined lesser psionic categories of Healing, Physical, and Sensitive. In addition, Hypnotic
Suggestion, Psychic Omni-Sight, and Remote Viewing, plus one additional Super Psionic powers
is possessed in each hand/eye (total 5 super psionic powers). Psionic powers progress as
indicated in Heroes Unlimited 2nd edition (page 190).
Attacks per Melee: Depends upon what hand to hand combat is learned.
Combat Bonuses: +1 to initiative and dodge. If all three eyes are open (palms open),
receive the usual bonuses and penalties for Supervision: Circular Vision. These are in addition to
possible bonuses from other attribute, skills, natural super abilities, and Hand to Hand bonuses.
Saving Throws: Need a 10 or better to save vs. psionics, +5 to save vs. possession and
+3 to save vs. horror factor and mind control. These are additional bonuses in addition to
attributes bonuses, skill proficiency, and hand to hand combat.
Combat Skills: Depends upon hand to hand combat skills.
Language: Read-Write/Speak Zylix and one of the Titrana Trade Languages (Dar’ Etsch or
Roo-tahm). 85% of all Zylix know the Toogarth language.
Weapons: Starting player characters select special alien weapons as indicated in HU 2nd
edition (page 97-99) or Aliens Unlimited Revised 16-17). NPCS can have just about any alien or
earth based weapon depending upon availability.
Money: Being psychic has its advantages so many Toogarth were able to “precog” the
future slaughter of their race, so many were able to prepare for the assault on Vodos. Psychic
news also travels fast and those not on Vodos were also given an advantage warning. Because
of these factors Zylix were able to prepare their finances well in advance. Being master con
artists and persuaders, player characters starting off enjoy 4D6x$3000 credits as starting money
or trade value in precious metals and/or stones.
Armor: Any, however many of the remaining Zylix (40%) were able to acquire the special
lightweight, molecular body armor designed by the Toogarth. Those who do possess a suit
(usually only one) are not likely ever to get another one. A.R. 15, S.D.C. 200. The armor is
highly laser reflective and has the ability to deflect a beam strength of 4D6 damage or lower
(inflicts no damage). Beams of 5D6 or 6D6 do only half damage. Higher energy beams inflict full
damage.
Equipment & Vehicles: Starting player characters select special alien vehicles as indicated
in HU 2nd edition (page 99) or Aliens Unlimited Revised (page 17-18). NPCS can have just about
any alien or earth based vehicle depending upon availability.

As part of Gaby's challenge I give you the following female criminal (sort of)

PENNY DREADFUL

Penny was a plain ordinary girl who lived in Ultropolis. Penny always felt very plain looking and
insignificant. Her parents came from lower-class families who had to work for everything they
ever want. Penny’s true passion was playing the piano which she started at the age of four. She
wrote her first piano ballad at thirteen, and started to perform at open mike nights by the age of
fourteen. By the time she entered high school, she tried out for anything that would allow her to
be center stage. Although she commanded a stage performance, her appearance always caused
her to be looked the other way. Then one day she came down with a terrible respiratory
infection that required her to be hospitalized. While in the hospital, as a means to pay for her
treatment, her parents agreed to allow her to subject to a new kind of drug therapy. Although
the powerful drugs did cure her, they turned her skin and hair start white and turned her pupils
green. Horrified at what had been done to her, Penny seemingly disappeared for several days.
Later she turned up wearing the ugliest make-up and wigs in an attempt to hide her
appearance. Yet she was filled with a new determination to have her looks not be overshadowed
by her appearance. Penny soon discovered her voice now possessed amazing qualities to it,
including the ability to command others to do her bidding. Penny also found herself very popular,
in fact everyone loved her and liked being around her. She was nominated and elected Prom
Queen by nearly everyone in her school. Penny also enjoyed the affection and attention dozens
of boys (and a few girls) where giving her as well. After graduating, Penny went to Ultropolis
University School of the Arts where she became something of an instant celebrity when she
started singing at nightclubs (even though she was underage at the time). It was about this
time she met with songwriter and producer Renaldo Sexton. It was long before he was working
on her record deal. Penny soon developed a Gothic look to herself in an effort to quite hiding
behind so much make-up. She dropped out of college during her sophomore year to focus
entirely on her musical career. Her living expenses became difficult so Penny started using her
powers to “fund” for herself while Renaold worked on getting her a gig in a recording studio.
Before long Penny was earning a living a professional criminal stealing from people by just asking
them to give her their wallets (purse) etc. It was by this time she started going by the name
Penny Dreadful. It wasn’t long before she recorded her first album. The album became number
one on various record charts. Penny Dreadful was an instant celebrity but at the same time a
criminal as well. It has also been documented that 10% of anyone who listens to her songs will
act out according to whatever she says. This sent up red flags to G.I.G.M.A./S.C.R.E.T. who are
constantly watching and monitoring everything she says and does. Penny is well aware that she
is being watched and monitored so she doesn’t use her abilities on a large scale or even at a
concert. However she still does numerous criminal operations which include burglary, art theft,
and the selling of pirated music, movies, and television shows. All of this, she does while being a
major celebrity who walks the red carpet and sings on MTV and various music award shows.
There are many in G.I.G.M.A. and criminal organization waiting and eager to expose her as a
mutant. Note: Her manager Renaldo (8th level Ordinary Person) has no idea she is a mutant or has a criminal.

ADONIS

Wayne Bentley was a small kid all his life and when he got to college he was tired of being
inferior to everyone else. So he dedicated his education to solving this problem. After three
years of research along with dozens of trial and errors projects he finally developed a pill that
would change him physically. Calling them the “Perfect Pills” Wayne tried them out and managed
to change himself into a handsome, hunk of a man, a perfect specimen. However, the effects
wore off after 70 seconds. Luckily he made a huge batch of pills. He started using his pills to
appear in body building contest, which most of them he won. His strength was not that
spectacular but it was his look that gave him such appeal. He started using his prize money to
pay off his expensive loans in going to Victory City University. Then one day some ticked off
jocks who bullied their way although high school started using their intimidating presence on
students to extort them for grades and money. Wayne decided to test his powers on them. Not
only was he successful in defeating this gang, he got his picture in the paper. This began his
part time job as a super hero. Mind you he doesn’t have a car (uses public transportation) or
any money to fund his career; nonetheless Adonis has made a name for his himself in the super
hero community. Enough so the Victory City Sentinels (now known as the Watchguard) are
thinking about recruiting him. OF course once they realize he is not what he appears to be, they
are likely to reject him unless of course he can truly prove himself as a true hero and not a
bumbling, just win by the skin of his teeth kind of champion.

TOM FOOLERY

Linwood Porter was raised around the circus. His partners where George and June Porter, the
Fabulous Fliers, a trapeze act known for its incredible stunts and acrobatics. At the age of
eight, Linwood joined the act. Four years later, he was becoming as big of a star as his parents.
Unbeknownst to him and his mother, his father acquired some gambling debts and the lone shark
was getting frustrated that his father hadn’t paid yet. So he decided to send a message. A few
days later, Linwood came down with a terrible head cold so his parents wouldn’t let him perform.
Linwood watched from the grand stand as his parents performed. Then all of a sudden someone
shot his father just as he caught his mother. This caused them both to fall from the trapeze
without a net killing them both. The shock of witnessing his partners die snapped the psyche of
young Linwood. Weeks later the circus owner asked Linwood if he felt like performing. Linwood
said yes, he wanted to carry on the legacy of his parents. But when Linwood tried to practice
he kept reseeding the image of his parents falling and couldn’t perform. Irate that his top stars
where gone and he was left with their useless brat, the circus owner made Linwood a clown.
Putting the makeup on just added to the emotional trauma Linwood suffered. The other clowns
performers were not kind at all to him. Two years later, Linwood completely snapped after being
hit in the face with a cream pie in the face was also full of elephant dung. Two days later
accidents started happening around the circus, the human cannonball cannon explode with him
inside. Tiny weights were added to the knife thrower knives causing them to wobble off balance
and killed his assistant. A pill was put into the water and made the big cats go crazy and turn
on the lion tamer. This and many more accident eventually caused the circus to close down.
Linwood still wearing his clown makeup disappeared into the night. Weeks later he sabotaged a
Ferris wheel killing two-thirds of the people on board. Days after that he put an explosive device
on a test of strength device and a guess your weight game. Since then the evil Tom Foolery
continues to play havoc with the circus world and amusement parks all across the country. He
enjoys killing people and taking away their happiness at the moments they should be the most
greatful. S.C.R.E.T. and G.I.G.M.A. are not after him because he is not considered a super being,
but he is wanted by the FBI and the Sector.

CRUNCH

When coach Burns wanted someone to break down the offensive line and sack the
quarterback, he turned to his defensive lineman Cedric “Crunch” Sherman. Sherman was
always a big kid with a big appetite. It was nothing for him to eat three lunches in the school
cafeteria. He packed on the pounds then run them off on the grid iron. He was also smart
and well liked, as big hearted as he was big in the belly. Then one day he learned his father
died of a heart attack. After the funereal, he vowed to lose weight. But nothing he tried
seem to help him any. Then one night feeling depressed he eating a tub of ice cream when
he saw an infomercial about a new fancy diet supplement. The salesman on T.V. made an
impression on Cedric so he made a phone call, used his mom’s credit card and bought the
product. A week later it came and Cedric began taking the pills. To his surprise instead of not
wanting to eat, he wanted to eat more, but he wasn’t gaining any weight. If anything he
was getting more energized. He wasn’t losing the weight but he seemed full of vigor. Soon he
was eating everything, literally everything in sight. Realizing this new found appetite and big
mouth had to be a result of something phenomenal Cedric decided to put this new found
power to good use, just as his dad would have wanted him to do. So Cedric put together a
collection of football uniforms and shirts together along with his nickname on the back. Now
he was a super hero to take bite out of crime. Only the bullets hurt after getting shot. Yet
overtime, he figured out the good and the bad with being a super hero, plus it also helped
out when he got tips from his idol Constitution from the Sentinels of Liberty and Justice.
Cedric is a minor hero but his heart and courage is just about as large as his appetite.

Okay this guy is my latest favorite.

HANGMAN

Napoleon Ennead was counting up to one hundred by age three. He was also reading the
dictionary and writing down words that he liked, but they were always big words like
claustrophobia. At age five, he use to play his favorite game with his parents hangman. He
give the word and they had to solve it. He loved it when he got to hang a person, which he
almost always seem to do because he picked the biggest words he could think of. He was
too advanced for kindergarten so he went immediately to middle school. In three short years,
he was doing college level education. He was also making a circuit of appearing in every
spelling bee that his parents could get him into and winning them. He was also fascinated by
games of chance like chess and checkers. But what always drove him was playing hangman.
One day he built a contraption after watching a violent movie on T.V. that just fascinated
him about a deadly game show that killed in contestants. He based his on the concept of
hangman. He tried the device on his friend. The friend failed to spell the word
“arithmomania” and he was hung. Napoleon having watched enough T.V. knew how to hide
the body and make it look like a suicide.

At age fifteen, Napoleon appeared on a popular TV game show that allowed him to spell. He
mastered not only how to “spin the wheel” without losing money and getting the highest
total always. He made a ton of money as a junior champion. Later he appeared on other
game shows trying his luck. He was becoming and enjoying the reality T.V. phenomena he
was becoming. Before long people started accusing him of cheating. This made him angry and
he vowed revenge. He searched out those people and using his “hangman” contraption (it
grew more elaborate as the years passed by) and made them play. He always vowed to let
them go if they won. But he continues to choose words nobody “normal” could guess so he
hang them. By age twenty-five he was a self made millionaire. Unable to play any more game
shows, he went to Vegas and clean-up there. Then he was off to Atlantic City and Motor
City where he made even more money. Soon he was enemy #1 with all casinos. However he
was not a mutant or psychic so they had difficult ground barring him since they couldn’t
prove he was a super being cheating. Private eyes and detectives started looking into his
life. He always found them and made them play his hangman game (no more elaborate than
ever). Soon he devoted part of his life to battling the wits of people trying to solve him,
especially so called super heroes like Troubleshooter or anyone else he could match wits
against. More and more elaborate traps involved with spelling and mathematical numbers
became involved. Would be challengers died by the dozens. Today no one knows the truth
about the evil villain known as Hangman. They all see Napoleon Ennead as a self made
millionaire who made his money on game shows. His next target is the American Lottery. He
plans on paying off enough people (or killing enough good people so he can put his own
pawns into place) that allows him to rig the system so the jackpot reaches 1 billion dollars.
Then he will be the one to win the largest jackpot ever. Anyone who gets in his way, he will
hang by the rafters unless they can figure out how to spell

Still working on my non-Palladium project and an outline for a short story Rifter submission. But
my group and I where joking around and came up with some vicious combo powers. This one we
had the most fun with so I had to make the N.P.C. I hope G.M.s use him in a fun and cruel
manner and players learn to fear the mad bomber.

META BOMB

Meta Bomb was created by the villainous Grand Inquisitor of the Dark Tribunal. He is the product
of the alien doctor’s experiments in an attempt to create the perfect killing machine. Reginald
has little memory of his former life before he was put in the evil doctor’s hands. Upon gaining his
powers after months of experiments, he underwent personally training with Phantom Panther and
Gemstone. Now he is considered one of their most valued operatives. Reginald's molecular
structure is unstable allowing him to assume the form of other things but he able to cause his
body to explode. Reginald uses his powers to assume the identity of other objects, such as a
one hundred dollars bill, a piece of candy, an envelope (addressed to someone), an apple, a
package, fire hydrant, etc. He then waits for the victim or any unsuspecting person to come in
his presence before he detonates himself, usually killing that person instantly. Meta Bomb likes to
use his powers on the weak and helpless. Few people take the time to notice him, and his
disguises are hardly notices for being threatening, even though he sometimes doe the obvious (a
fire hydrant in the middle of the room). His ultimate goal is to kill the President and his/her family
or anyone else of extreme importance. Already on G.I.G.M.A. and S.C.R.E.T. Top Ten most
wanted list, he intends on doing whatever he has to become number one, even if it means killing
the competition. He is unaware of the DT full plans but he doesn’t entirely care, as long as he
gets to do what he likes doing best, blowing people up. He works alone because he has a
tendency to kill his partners.

Age: 33 years old. Sex: Male. Height: 6 foot, 2 inches (1.88 m), Weight: 180 lbs (81 kg)
Side Effects: Continuous bleeding wounds (Chronic Pain). He can continue functioning
until he is at -32 hit points.
Insanity: He is a sadistic killer who has no problem using his powers without morals or
compassion. He enjoys causing as much death as possible. The more innocents that die the
happier he feels. Suffering is good. Death is good. Blowing up people is fun.
Major Super Abilities: Polymorph and Self Explosion

Carmen Bellaire created a character for his Open House adventure that was a serious Brute. In
fact that was his name, an alien mega experiment with a supernatural P.S. of 235!!! Now I tried
my best to replicate the character based on the stats on the character sheet and powers like
taking the mega power Tremendous P.S. twice ( :-? ) which is what Carmen did and still couldn't
come up with 235. Anyway because this guy was so unique and interesting I decided to
recreate him the best that I could so use him if you like in your games.

CRUSHO

Crusho belongs to a race of alien from the Ilta Quadrant called Autobrutes. Their planet is near
the border of Atorian controlled sector of the galaxy. According to Crusho, the Atorians have
sent “brain enslavers” to his planet to capture his people to take bake to do smart stuff to them
in a lab. This makes them stronger and tougher to hurt then they naturally are. Their race is
used for front liner fighters and gladiator games. His people wish others in space would keep the
lady aliens and their people away from their planet, but no one is close enough to do much of
anything in terms of aid. Crusho claims to be on board a space ship when something happen
that caused his cargo container to separate from the ship and drift in space. He doesn’t
remember how long he floated in space until he came crashing to Earth. He was found by
Project Secure and taken to secret facility to receive his alien acclimation training. He
graduated with honors and with the ability to speak English. However, he is not the sharpest
tool in the shed so he only released when they need him to take care of a problem that requires
superior brute strength. Otherwise they keep him under lock and key, well only as long as he
really wants to stay under lock and key.

fact that was his name, an alien mega experiment with a supernatural P.S. of 235!!! Now I tried
my best to replicate the character based on the stats on the character sheet and powers like
taking the mega power Tremendous P.S. twice ( :-? ) which is what Carmen did and still couldn't
come up with 235. Anyway because this guy was so unique and interesting I decided to
recreate him the best that I could so use him if you like in your games.

CRUSHO

Crusho belongs to a race of alien from the Ilta Quadrant called Autobrutes. Their planet is near
the border of Atorian controlled sector of the galaxy. According to Crusho, the Atorians have
sent “brain enslavers” to his planet to capture his people to take bake to do smart stuff to them
in a lab. This makes them stronger and tougher to hurt then they naturally are. Their race is
used for front liner fighters and gladiator games. His people wish others in space would keep the
lady aliens and their people away from their planet, but no one is close enough to do much of
anything in terms of aid. Crusho claims to be on board a space ship when something happen
that caused his cargo container to separate from the ship and drift in space. He doesn’t
remember how long he floated in space until he came crashing to Earth. He was found by
Project Secure and taken to secret facility to receive his alien acclimation training. He
graduated with honors and with the ability to speak English. However, he is not the sharpest

Talk about powerful. I've never seen a character who could really handle this character. Obviously every character can be beaten but this guy would win most fights it seems.

Intelligence doesn't necessarily equate to education though.. I know a lot of people that have advanced degrees who are dumb as posts.. And by the other token, I know a lot of really intelligent people who refused to seek a higher education..

Some refuse it because they are unaware of how to go about getting scholarships or other means to pay for it. An education costs money. They should have penalties or limits to education based on IQ, though, and how the hell would the person even have been accepted as partof an education program with an IQ so low?

I just brought it up because I sort of use Rifts Low and High Attribute Bonuses and Penalties in
Heroes. Never use it for Fantasy because it fouls to many things up. But it works great for Heroes

Actually I think I have a foreign criminal organization that I'll post. I've debating about using it for
my HU submissions and decided to instead post it here. I'll have it up sometime soon :D .

These guys are some old villains I've used for quite a while. They were referenced earlier with
the Peace Keeper League with Samurai Sun.

THE FIRE SUN

The Fire Sun is the calling name of Kikumara International, a Japanese multinational
corporation, the 5th largest integrated manufacturer of electric and electronic equipment in
the world, and the leading retailers in new technology providing high quality products. The
industrialist Ken Kikumara founded the company in the 1960s as an electrical equipment repair
and manufacturing facility. His twin sons Tomo and Naoko convinced him in the early 1980s to
start going into microchip manufacturing, this in time turned into building semiconductors,
becoming one of the largest companies in the market. This allowed KI to eventually become
chief contractor for electronic parts and microchips for the U.S. government for advance
weaponry and missiles. Before long the two brothers made KI one of the leading
manufacturers of electronics, video communications, video games and information technology
products for the consumer and professional markets.

Unbeknownst to the elder Kikumara and Tomo, Naoko has turned KI into a secret villainous
organization known as the Fire Sun. Its ultimate goal is for global domination by scientific
means. Naoka is the leader of the secret faction of KI, while his brother runs the legit multi-
billion dollar company.

The Fire Sun has created a wide variety of advance technological weaponry, but this is
nothing compared to the great strives it has made in human augmentation. Their
nanotechnology, super computers, bionics, cybernetics, and robotics are some of the most
superior around, nearly equivalent to Fabricators Inc. However, their most spectacular
creations have to be the Sun Samurai, their elite mercenaries and bodyguards. They are
trained to emulate the ways of the traditional Japanese soldiers, but there’s nothing about
them that resembles true Samurai accept in name alone. Led by the mutant Moltar, the Sun
Samurai are responsible for the capture and elimination of more super humans in Japan than
any government or law enforcement agency. Nobody knows the secret of the Sun Samurai
and the Fire Sun except for a small splinter group of government leaders who hope the Sun is
able to succeed in its global conquests. Presently, the Fire Sun is slowly attempting to
undermine the government and the Royal family.

Everything about the Fire Sun involves secrecy, namely because Naoka does not want to
alarm his brother’s suspicions that his own company is a criminal organization. Naoka tries to
maintain the jet-setting playboy persona. Until his father dies, Naoka will not make a move
toward his brother. He has no ill feelings toward his father, and out of deep respect, wants
him to live out his life. He feels the same way about his brother, however he insist that for
the goals for the Fire Sun to come to pass, his brother will die three days after their father’s
burial.
