Bio:
Anthony had no idea he was a mutant through his entire childhood. He grew up in a poor neighborhood in Mercury Mile, an infamously shady part of Ford City. But much to his mother’s delight, Anthony was able to get a scholarship to Malachi University thanks to his amazing ability int he game of basketball.But his dream of being the first person in his family to earn a degree was cut short during a basketball game. Anthony jumped to block an opponent’s shot and, though his fingers clearly made no contact with either the ball or the shooter, the shot was deflected.
An investigation ensued, brought on by the sudden insurgence of mutants across the country, and it was found that Anthony was indeed superhuman. Despite swearing that he had no knowledge of his power, Anthony was kicked off th team and his scholarship was revoked. Unable to pay for any more semesters of college, he was forced to drop out and move back in with his mother. He began work at a local gas station.
One fateful night, while Anthony and another cashier were working, an armed man entered the store and demanded money. When Anthony’s co-worker told him they never had more than $50 in the store at a time, the robber pulled the trigger of his pistol, aimed directly at the other man. Reacting at a speed that amazed even himself, Anthony was able to change the bullet’s direction to spin around and hit the mugger instead.
The criminal was apprehended and Anthony suddenly realized that he had the power to right many wrongs in the city. For a while he operated only in Mercury Mile, but soon let his presence and his power be known over all of Ford City.
He joined the Dynamos Special Forces after watching them battle the villain Mastermind and his minions.

Bio:
Avery was once a career gambler down on his luck and at the end of his rope. He got in deep with some very unsavory types, owing them an impossible debt. He skipped town and went off the grid, camping out in the woods until he could think of an escape. One nigh t he was awoken by a bright flash and a thunderous cacophony nearby. When he went to investigate, he discovered a crashed spaceship, and its sole occupant near death in the grass, wearing a bizarre golden suit. When the creature died, the suit detached, and then it sped through the air and reassembled around Avery before he even realized what was happening. After a brief moment of horrible pain, Avery began to hear a robotic voice instructing him that he was the new wielder of the suit – a technological battle armor that fuses itself into various parts of its wearer’s body and giving it incredible powers beyond human capability. Now reborn as the hero Boost, Avery has kicked his gambling habit, turned over a new leaf, and with the aid of his new suit, fights crime on the streets of Caligo. The suit gives Avery incredible strength and speed, various types of vision and hearing, and a mental clarity that allows him to come up with unique solutions to dire situations.Pictures:

Bio:
The Impossibles are a team of superheroes who immigrated from their home country of Russia recently. They had grown tired of the grayness in the streets, skies, and faces of their country’s people. Each is in his or her late twenties or early thirties, and they quickly found upon arriving in America that they had their work cut out for them. Here, in this highly commercialized, rich land, crime and villainy were abundant, and they knew instantly that they had travelled across the world for a higher purpose. In little time, the Impossibles had become one of the foremost champions for justice in Caligo.Boris is the least intelligent of the Impossibles, but oddly the most gentle-natured. He loves children and helps out doing volunteer work in the city when not heroing. But when his team members are threatened, Boris fights with a passion unrivaled by most.

Alias: Brahma
Real Name: Chris Cullom
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: part-bull DNA, with accompanying strength, size, and horns
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: Citizen Heroes League
Other Aliases: none
Status: depowered
Bio:
In 2032, the technology-based company PresCorp discovered an amazing thing. By stimulating and manipulating the right genes, they could give a normal person amazing super powers temporarily. The effects lasted for about a week.
To collect as much on this breakthrough as they could, PresCorp created a daughter company called Venture, Inc. Venture offered the process to those who would pay for it (a hefty sum), and then kept them on a compound on an otherwise deserted island. They would create adventures in which these people could use their powers. It was exclusively for the sake of entertainment and profit, letting the rich and influential people of the country live out the fantasy of being a superhero for a short time. Lengthy background checks were performed to ensure that none of the customers would use their powers for evil, as well as a cancellor gate, which would void all powers when passed through.There was a public outcry scolding Venture for making the experience so expensive and thus only for the wealthy, but no legal action could be carried out.
But then the demons arrived.
To call them demons is probably a misnomer. They were really just beings from another dimension. They had found a way to cross to our world, and when they saw that we were physically inferior, the invasion began. It soon became clear that the world’s existing heroes were not enough. Therefore, the US military declared martial law over Venture, Inc.
The “hero surgery,” as it was known, suddenly became available to anyone for free, as long as they were willing to volunteer to help battle the armies of beasts. And thus, the Citizen Heroes League was formed. Many different powers were offered, and all were given to these everyday working people. Thousands applied and most were accepted. They were each given a crash course on how to control and use their newfound powers, and then they were sent to the fray. They were divided into teams of ten, each being led by a pre-existing superhero. makeshift hospitals were set up near the battle lines so that the week long powers could be continued as long as was necessary. They fought until the menace was destroyed. Many died in the battles. The rest returned to their normal, mundane lives, but with the memory of being and doing something extraordinary.
Chris was a champion of the rodeo, breaking records almost every time he climbed onto the back of a bull. He loved the massive beasts he had learned to tame, and was always envious of their strength and raw power. He finally got the chance to become like one when he enlisted with the Citizen Heroes League. His power was customized to make him a humanoid version of a raging bull during the battles.
