Alias: Fornax
Real Name: Gabriel Brock
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: generates intense body heat
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: Heat-concentrating suit
Affiliations: Sphinx Foundation
Other Aliases: Hailstone
Status: active
Bio:
Gabriel’s body acts like a furnace, generating extreme amounts of heat. His parents kept him out of public as long as they could, but when he was a teenager his power was discovered by the shadowy organization known as the Sphinx Foundation. They kidnapped the boy, implanted a mind-control chip in his brain, and outfitted him with a suit complete with gauntlets that concentrated his body heat and fired it from wrist-mounted cannons. He wreaked havoc at the command of Sphinx until during a battle with the Green Gremlin, his mind-control chip was damaged and he was freed from their control. Unable to convince a jury of his unfortunate predicament, Gabriel was sentenced to 10 years in the Superhuman Containment Facility.But he didn’t stay very long. A scientist working at Brainstorm Industries came to visit Gabriel, and explained that he had worked out a deal with the court system that he would accept responsibility of Gabriel in exchange for him being a test subject for the newly developed Hailstone Suit. This suit, which stored cryogenic freezing systems, could not be worn by anyone other than a few people on Earth, because it would freeze them after prolonged use. Gabriel’s body, however, was a perfect fit because it was always hot. He agreed to the tests and emerged from the Brainstorm Laboratories as Hailstone, an ice-slinging hero.

Alias: Freefall
Real Name: Dave Madison
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: gravitokinesis
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: advanced tech visor
Affiliations: Dynamos Alpha Red Team
Other Aliases: none
Status: active
Bio:
Dave’s parents saw very early in his childhood that he was born a mutant. He seemed to possess the ability to mentally control the effects of gravity on objects and people, making them heavy enough to crash through the second floor and into the first, or lighter than air.They were not ashamed of their son, but they knew the world would not be understanding, so they researched extensively until they finally discovered a suitable place for him.
When Dave was 5, he was sent to live at Power House. This facility, masked as a normal boarding school/orphanage, was a place where children with superpowers could go to learn to control their mutations while getting an education.
Dave grew up relatively happy at Power House. His parents visited him every weekend, and he soon learned how to control his gravitokinesis. When he was 14, though it was uncustomary, he was taken out of Power House and placed into a normal high school. That was where he met Veronica Gables. The two knew instantly that there was chemistry between them, and began dating. They confessed to each other that they both had superpowers, which only helped to strengthen their love for each other.
After he graduated, Dave tried going to community college, but felt unsatisfied in a classroom. When Veronica graduated 2 years later, they decided to put their abilities to good use, and became a crime fighting couple. Dave took the alias Freefall. Their chemistry made them a very effective team, and they soon became known around Ford City as quite formidable heroes.
Tragedy struck one day when a dastardly group of X-13 villains, the Terrible Ten, attacked the city. Though the ten were defeated by Dave, Veronica, and several other superheroes, Dave was stricken blind by a blast of light from the sinister Luminus.
A few months later, the couple was approached by the hero Shield and offered positions on the Dynamos Alpha Red Team. Dave was given a visor which was hyper-sensitive to sound, and allowed him to “see” well enough to continue his life as a crime fighter.

Alias: Freezerburn
Real Name: Sean O’Keefe
Genre: Supervillain
Powers/Special Skills: expert in thermochemistry
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: fire and ice gauntlets
Affiliations: Brainstorm Industries
Other Aliases: none
Status: at large
Bio:
Sean was born in Dublin, Ireland and came to America with his parents when he was 9. His father became a dock worker and little Sean was thrust into an entirely new culture, often unable to have the things other kids had. He grew up resentful of his father and vowed he would never be poor like him. He excelled in school and earned a degree with honors in thermochemistry from Caligo State University. He then went to work as a lab technician at Brainstorm Industries, and quickly became head of the thermochemistry division, where he ingeniously invented both a super heat ray and an extreme cold ray. It defied what his colleagues believed, and he got an immense amount of recognition. So much, in fact, that his father, destitute and roaring drunk, who he had not seen in many years, came to him asking for money. Sean declined, and his father attacked him. Sean was forced to kill his father in self-defense, and the guilt that followed drove him insane. He stole the heat and freeze rays and made gauntlets out of them. Now, he has turned to a life of crime to support himself, using the alias Freezerburn to cover his tracks.
