Bio:
Jimmy Lang was a member of the Caligo volunteer fire department. On a call to a burning chemical plant, Jimmy was the first firefighter inside, dashing fearless through the flames. Unfortunately, he was directly adjacent to a large vat of what would soon become known as X-13, a strange chemical that can bind a human’s DNA with any material he or she touches. As the container exploded, Jimmy was engulfed in both fire and the chemical. He emerged from the building as a being composed entirely of flame. He learned to turn himself fully human again, and back to his blazing state in an instant. While in his fire form, Jimmy calls himself Firebolt and can fly and generate balls or columns of fire that he can hurl at villains. He hits the streets everyday as one of the city’s foremost superheroes.Pictures:

Bio:
In the late 2060’s, it will become evident to a few that the dealings of a shadowy company known as the Sphinx Foundation are in reality preparations for the capture and control of the United States. Because of this intelligence, a group of five superhumans formed a clandestine group called the Underground, dedicated to undermining and sabotaging the efforts of Sphinx.Steven was a firefighter who was kidnapped and cruelly and ironically tortured with fire by a ruthless gang. His right arm was burned completely off, and much of his skin was severely damaged. He was left for dead but found barely alive by the members of Underground, who worked quickly to save his life. Tech-savvy Undergrounder Psyko built Steven a life-sustaining suit, with the added bonus of a new robotic arm that could shoot a stream of fire at Steven’s will. He joined the team and has been known as Firebug ever since.

Alias: Flyweight
Real Name: Eddie Stack
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: hollow bones, making him weigh almost nothing
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: Dynamos Special Operations
Other Aliases: Leap Frog
Status: active
Bio:
The years of Eddie’s life until he emerged as a hero at the age of 23 are vague. He seems to have led a fairly normal life. Because he was born an anomaly, he didn’t even realize he was different until he hesitantly joined a local basketball team. It was then that Eddie exerted himself to his full potential to the amazement of everyone present, sailing 50 to 100 feet into the air and floating gracefully back down to the ground. Seen as a freak, Eddie’s friends stopped hanging out with him and he lived in moderate solitude for years, ashamed of what he considered a deformity. But his ability was noticed by the Dynamo Council and he was recruited to the newly formed Special Operations team. His first hero name was Leap Frog, and along with it came a ridiculous suit resembling a toad. When two of the members of the Spec Ops group died in battle, Eddie was moved up in the ranks and decided to shed his silly outfit in exchange for something a little less gawdy. At the same time, he changed his name to Flyweight. He is now the second-in-command of the Spec Ops sect of the Dynamos. Because his bones are hollow, they are also exceptionally strong, to the extent that they are harder to break than a normal’s would be.Pictures:

Alias: Forge
Real Name: Parker Payne
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: Shape metal at will and fuse it to his body
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: short metal poles
Affiliations: Dynamos Excelsior
Other Aliases: None
Status: active
Bio:
Parker is the son of Dr. Peggy Payne, a scientist in metallurgical chemistry. Dr. Payne was working on a hybrid element that could break down the consistency of metal at the molecular level, making it easy to shape. She devised two inventions to aid metal workers in welding; one was a pair of gloves coated in the new element. She took the gloves home and hid them as best she could from her twin children, but the boy twin, Parker, found them.A mutation in Parker, which had remained dormant until he donned the gloves, reacted suddenly with the gloves, fusing them permanently to Parker’s hands. By the time Dr. Payne discovered her son’s predicament, it was too late. Parker was now endowed with the ability to shape metal in seconds, as well as fuse it to his body. Priscilla found the other invention and changed in a different way. Her entire body became galvanized.
Unable to cope with her children’s changes, Dr. Payne sent them to Power House, a secret school for superpowered children. The Payne twins learned the extent of their powers while there. After they left the school, Parker and Priscilla fought crime as a metallic duo.
But when the twins were in their late-20’s Priscilla, who had started going by the mantle Iron Maiden, was turned to evil by the magnetokinetically-powered villain Electromagnus. Despite her brother’s pleas, Priscilla left his side and became Electromagnus’s assistant and apprentice. Parker tried to rescue Priscilla from the villain’s clutches, but was defeated and hurt very badly. In fact, Electromagnus was able to rip Parker’s right glove, hand included, from his arm before Parker could stab him in the shoulder with a sharpened metal pole.
Priscilla fled and Electromagnus was placed in a metal-less containment cell. Parker was able to use his body’s power to reattach the glove, but his hand would be forever gone. Though the replaced glove serves adequately as an artificial hand, it doesn’t have complete mobility like his left.
Depressed by his failed attempt to rescue his sister and the loss of his hand, Parker, now known as Forge in the superhero world, sought out the famous team the Dynamos, and was placed in Excelsior. He still hopes to find and reform his twin sister.
