Johan Wisdjin was a successful farmer in Suriname near the Julianatop Mountain. One day while tending to his fields he stopped some Surinamese Maroons from attacking a local farmer over a debt. When the Maroons came back to extract their revenge Johan fought them and was shot. This is when his GorWol trait manifested and he bio-morphed into a large stone skinned creature. The locals dubbed him Caracarcol, an ancient Arawak deity, and Johan fled into the Juliantop Mountain area. He learned to control his transformation and he lived life as a hermit having little contact with the outside world. His story came to the attention of Beacon and Power Stryke was sent to recruit him. Johan found a place within the ISF often acting as the teams damage shield so that others could finish off the target. While the media used the Caracarcol name his ISF teammates just called him Johan. He is not a particularly good fighter due to the slow speed at which he moves but he is extremely durable and he is strong (30 ton range). During one fight against some members of the Dark Cabal, Johan had his left arm severed at the shoulder by Devilblade. Unable to revert back to human form for fear of permanently losing his left arm Johan stayed in his rock form. Over time his body began to grow a new left arm and it is currently past the elbow. However Johan has spent the last 3 years waiting for his arm to regrow and has become sullen and depressed due to his need to stay in the rock form. At present time Johan left the ISF to go back to Suriname and live life again as a recluse in the mountains until his arm is fully regrown.
Torkel Valborg was a new Fireman working in the Swedish city of Gothenburg when his GorWol trait manifested. He was always taller, stronger, faster than most boys growing up but he thought nothing of it. One day when responding to an apartment fire Torkel was trapped behind burning rubble with some children. Fearing the worst, Torkel tried to lift a burning timber with all of his might to escape with the kids. His Biokinesis trait manifested and he threw the timber through a wall to the outside which created an escape route. After the fire was over and he was recognized as a local hero, Torkel began testing himself to gauge his new found abilities. Deciding he should use his new found powers for good he began adventuring as a vigilante. Exploits of a tall, strong, invincible hero running around Scandanavia brought him to the attention of Beacon who sent Power Stryke to recruit him. He is currently the muscle on ISF Team ALPHA. Mythic is a biokinetic. His body is super strong and durable. His durability is not on par with Bronco Billy or even close to Caracarcol but he can withstand low level kinetic trauma (bullets, bats etc). He can lift up to 35 tons and his legs are strong enough to leap up to 150 feet. He has chain mail hauberk made of fused osmium and a Viking style shield reinforced with osmium which boosts his durability on par with Bronco Billy. His War-hammer is fused osmium and can shatter or dent most objects. He is a good outdoors man and is becoming an avid reader of Viking history to better suit his hero image and to impress Feymage, his fiance.
Zaid was a poor carpenter, mason, smuggler and day laborer before his GorWol trait manifested. He was caught up in the civil unrest in Egypt at the end of 2018 and was shot by rogue police during a government sponsored clearing operation in his slum village. His trait manifested and he was able to heal himself and stop the rogue police from finishing their killing spree in a nameless slum outside of Cairo. He was dubbed Horus-Ra after the old Egyptian Pantheon by the media. After threatening the Egyptian President with eradication if he did not stop the civil unrest, Horus-Ra was recruited by the ISF. He currently serves as the ATL for ISF Team ALPHA. Horus-Ra is a Radiakinetic and Thermakinetic. He can generate thermal radiation energy into powerful radiation blasts, project radiation waves out from his body, and can weaken the durability of objects or make people sick with enough focus. He can project and absorb various forms of radiation energy, using it to heal others or to burn them with radiation. He needs an obdurium conductor to project his radiation with better control. His radioactive energy enhances his strength to the 10 ton range, heals him four times faster than normal and allows him to fly by projecting radiation energy. He has limited resistance to attacks, but his resistance to energy and fire based attacks is good. His Serpent Staff and parts of his costume are made of obdurium to better focus his powers.
Carla Lemos was a poor textile factory worker in Para State, Brazil. Her Foreman always made sexual advances towards her and she always avoided him. The little money she did save up she spent taking Kombato self defense classes. One day while at work her foreman tried to rape her and Carla crippled him. Scared she fled west into the Amazon jungle where she found refuge with a tribe of runaway slave decedents. They helped her expand her basic fighting skills and she became an expert in Capoeira. The tribal shaman gave her a potion to drink and that potion caused her GorWol trait to manifest. She became fast and agile with heightened senses. She fashioned an outfit after a Jaguar and she took the name Jaguara and traveled back to Brazilian civilization. There she became a vigilante crime-fighter; using confiscated money to provide charity for the poor. Eventually her exploits brought her to the attention of Beacon who recruited her. She was the ISFs main melee fighter, besting Power Stryke on many occasions. During a hostage rescue mission in Mexico against a Mexican Cartel, Jaguara was attacked by Hooligan and Scales of the Dark Cabal. She fought valiantly but succumbed to Scales venom and was killed when Hooligan held her and Scales tore her heart out. This triggered the start of the Meta War. During her time in the ISF Jauguara was in a relationship with MEGATEK. Jaguara was an excellent melee fighter blending elements of Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Capoeira, Kombato and a Jaguar style.
Meriah Neladakis was a was a poor, uneducated street prostitute in Greece before manifesting. She was beaten bad by a John and left for dead. Her GorWol trait manifested and her body healed itself. Taking this as a sign, Meriah changed her life around. She was working as a mountain village midwife healing the local sick and injured when she was approached by Power Stryke to join the ISF. She accepted and became a valuable team member for her ability to heal others in combat. She was in a relationship with Thunderstrike when he died and after his death she left the ISF and retreated back to her mountain village in Greece. Lord Psyker brought her back to the ISF a few years later when he killed Thunderstrike’s assassin. She remains the healer on Lord Psyker’s team. Pharmakon is a healer. She has the Psionkinetic ability to do empathic healing on living beings. She can heal wounds and cure diseases but she cannot bring someone back from the dead. She can also heal herself and her natural healing process is six times faster than a normal human. Pharmakon also has limited Psiokinetic offensive powers. She can direct bio-psychic energy into psionic energy blasts to damage opponents. She is not as adept at using her Psionkinetic abilities for other powers and she does not display the wide range of abilities Genie, Vikka or Lord Psyker possess.
Zach was a professional soldier before joining the ISF. He was in Ranger and Special Forces units where he was always better than his peers in everything he did, running, climbing, swimming, fighting and shooting, especially shooting. He is trained in scuba, HALO, sniping, demolitions, trauma aid, survival, SSE, small unit tactics, communications and heavy weapons. He is an avid outdoors man and is an expert in Krav-Maga. He left the military for a new challenge since tours in Iraq, Afghanistan and bush wars in Africa no longer challenged him. After hunting down some metavillains Gunslinger was invited to join the ISF. He eventually took over command of ISF Team BRAVO when Lord Psyker went AWOL following the death of Thunderstrike. Gunslinger is a minor Biokinetic. He has faster reflexes, increased agility, faster speed, and higher endurance than normal people. He heals twice as fast as a normal human. He has uncanny aim and accuracy which can be attributed to his biokinesis providing amazing hand-eye coordination. His mind analyzes his surrounding data faster and he can make quicker calculated decisions than a normal person. Even without super strength or energy based powers Gunslinger is a difficult opponent because he seems to be one step ahead of his adversary.
Blinker was an abandoned street kid in the Ivory Coast. He is mute and no one knows his real name; everyone just calls him Blinker. He possesses the natural psionic ability of Teleportation. He is able to teleport both himself and a certain amount of additional mass over an unknown maximum distance almost instantly. He was recruited by the ISF to be a reserve team member for transport. It is believed Blinker tears a hole in the fabric of this dimensions stability to move to another location. He must either visualize the area he teleports to or he must see the location. He can bring up to 5 tons of additional mass with him. He has no fighting skills and has mastered his teleportation powers to teleport out of danger at a moments notice but he can only do this to areas he can visually observe. Blinker also displays low level ability to project a psionic force field around his body. The force field can stop bullets but not much else.
Antonio DelaCortez was a research chemist working in Spain when a secret chemical formula he and others were working on spilled and its unstable nature set the lab room on fire. Antonio’s GorWol trait manifested to save him and he walked around the fire not knowing what happened. The fire raged out of control, due to Antonio’s careless wandering and soon consumed the entire research laboratory. ISF deployed a team to contain the fire when it threatened a populated area and the Spanish firefighters and emergency responders could not contain it. The teams initial reaction to seeing Antonio walking around the facility in a confused state was that he was a super villain, but after Genie read his mind it was determined he was innocent, and he was recruited into the ISF. Taking the name Torcher he participated in many missions until one mission in Uganda, during the Meta War, where the Dark Cabal helped the Lord’s Resistance Army create a thermo-nuclear bomb Torcher was the only ISF member present who could absorb the energy the bomb was going to detonate. He did so but fell into a coma. He stayed at the ISF medical ward for two years almost dying during the Dark Cabals assault on ISF Headquarters. He awoke from his coma a year after the Meta War and started to adjust to the new ISF as a reserve team member. Torcher is a pyrokinetic and can control ambient heat energy and the physical ability to envelop his entire body or portions of his body with fiery plasma without harm to himself. Torcher is unaffected by heat and flames, including his own, even when part of him is aflame and the rest of him is not. He also has good resistance to other attacks and can absorb thermal and radiation energy in limited quantities. He can project flame ranged attacks out from his body and his touch when aflame, burns upon contact. He can create simple fire weapons and can burn his immediate area. He is able to fly at speeds up to 200 mph when enflamed. He cannot control fire or heat.
Joffer Tegman was a South African Military Commando (or Recce) of Afrikkaner descent. He was a troop commander who excelled at everything he did. He was on a HALO training mission when his chute tray failed to open. As he was falling to his death out in the middle of the desert he noticed a nearby lake and tried to steer his free fall to the lake. This stress activated his GorWol trait and he flew straight into the lake with his Energy Force Shield being the only thing saving him from the impact. Since the training mission was filmed and unable to explain how he survived the fall, Joffer was put on administrative convalescence. The video of his fall made it to ISF who dispatched Power Stryke to recruit him. Major Mercury took over the leadership of ISF Team ALPHA from Stargazer just before the start of the Meta War. Major Mercury is an Ergokinetic. He can project powerful energy blasts from his hands, has slightly increased strength (1 ton range) due to energy flowing through his muscles and has increased durability. His ergokinesis provides him with an energy shield that provides good resistance to kinetic attacks, and excellent versus energy based attacks. He can create various force fields of various sizes and shapes to protect himself and others around him but he cannot attack when shielded. He can fly at speeds up to 300 mph.
Baal was once a poor Turkish goat herder in the mountains near the border of Syria. No one knows his original name after his transformation. The event occured at night while he was tending his flock. Kurdish rebels were transporting weapons through the mountain pass, saw the herder, shot him in the head and dumped him into an old and hidden Akkadian temple thinking him dead. The bullet in his skull activated his GorWol trait of Pyrokinesis and it transformed him into a fiery minatour while at the same time giving him memory loss. Escaping the temple ruins, he quickly subdued the rebels, melted the weapons and saved some peasants who called him Ba’al (an ancient title meaning Lord). He survived for a few years up in the mountains acting as a protector to some mountain communities in exchange for food and secrecy but Beacon found him and brought him into the ISF under the name of Baal. He is currently on ISF Team ALPHA under Major Mercury’s command. Baal is a powerful Pyrokinetic. He biomorphs into a large fire based form where he gains increased strength (30 tons), resistance to attacks (almost invulnerable to fire and heat based attacks) and fire melee attacks.
Justine was a sales clerk at a upscale fashion store in Switzerland when her GorWol trait manifested. This was not a stress induced event like other manifesters and Justine learned to control her cyrokinetic powers fairly quickly. She joined the ISF during their initial expansion phase, just before the Meta War. She suffered a nervous breakdown after the death of team mate Vandal in Nova Scotia and retired from the ISF soon after the Meta War ended. Lord Psyker brought her back to the ISF when he rejoined the organization and she is a member of ISF Team CHARLIE. Crystalfrost has the ability to generate extreme temperatures of cold and ice from her body. By absorbing heat from the atmosphere, she can freeze molecules of moisture that hang in the air creating a variety of effects. She is very resistant to ice and cold and can create ice weapons, icicle ranged attacks, ice shields and simple ice structures. She has displayed the ability to freeze others in place or to create a sheen of ice over an intended target or target area. She recently started to develop a relationship with Killer Bee.
T-Money was a tough street kid from the streets of Atlanta running in a Black Mafia Family set as a drug enforcer to protect his little brother who was in debt to the BMF. During a turf war with another set, T-Money was shot multiple times protecting his brother and left for dead. His brother was then shot execution style. The ISF eventually sent their Bravo Team to deal with the growing riot and civil disturbance. T-Money recovered thanks to his GorWol trait manifesting and he started hunting down the set that shot him and killed his little brother. Finding them T-Money tried to shot them but in his anger his hands discharged a force beam that broke the pistol. ISF member Crystalfrost observed this and subdued T-Money and his intended victims. Lord Psyker read his mind and found T-Money actually had a good heart, just the wrong outlets. He was given the chance to prove himself to the ISF as a reserve member. He took the offer, wanting to escape all that was bad with his former life. He eventually learned to control his power and became a valued team mate. During the Meta War battle in Nova Scotia, Vandal (as he was called) fought Dr. Dimento to save Crystalfrosts life until reinforcements could arrive. Dr. Dimento created a telekinetic bubble inside Vandals brain and caused it to expand until his head exploded. Dr. Dimento fled when reinforcements came but Vandal was dead. Vandal was an Ergokinetic and could project powerful force bolts from his fingers. His force bolts were powerful enough to overcome some forcefields with repeated hits.
Amber Anne was a small town clerk in Ontario, Canada when she visited NYC as a tourist. She went to the top of the Empire State Building to take some pictures and when a storm came into the city she was trapped alone in the elevator when the power shut off. She was alone and scared and after a mild panic attack she tried to open the door out of frustration. This is when her GorWol trait manifested and she tore the elevator doors off. This startled her and she fell down the shaft but found she could fly. Eventually she decided to leave her life behind and become a super hero. On her way back to Canada, flying of course, she noticed a sinking ship along the St. Lawrence Seaway. She rescued it just as Bronco Billy and Genie were helping out. They convinced her to return to ISF HQs to join the organization. CanadiAnne is the muscle and ATL for ISF Team BRAVO under Gunslingers command. CanadiAnne is a powerful biokinetic. She was once a 5’5†and 105 lbs weakling, but when she manifested, her body grew seven inches and gained 70 lbs of muscle. She is now capable of lifting up to 35 tons, with the possibility of getting stronger in the future. He skin also transformed and she is very durable, able to withstand tremendous kinetic damage and to a lesser extent energy, cold and finally fire based attacks. She heals three times faster than normal and can naturally fly up to 150 mph. CanadiAnne is a low level cyrokinetic and can generate ice blasts and freeze rays from her body through her hands; although she is not as adept with her cyrokinetics as Crystalfrost or Aunt Artica. She has Obdurium alloy gauntlets and belt to better control her cyrokinesis.
Noah Ballentyne was a mechanical engineer in New Zealand working on advanced scientific designs. One day while out hiking in the mountains he observed a murder and was seen. He ran away and was chased by the killers. Cornering him near a cliff the killers threw him off the edge to make it look like an accident. During the fall his GorWol trait manifested and he grew insect wings to fly and discharged an energy beam from his hands. He subdued the killers and fashioned a costume to become a crimefighter under the name Killer Bee. He was recruited into the ISF just before the start of the Meta War and during the Nova Scotia battle he had his natural insect wings ripped off by Gorilla King. Noah went back to New Zealand to recover. During his convalesnece he fashioned a set of cybernetic wings to replace his lost ones and became Killer Bee once again. Killer Bee is currently the ATL for ISF Team CHARLIE under Lord Psyker’s command. Killer Bee is an Ergokinetic. His internal energy allows him to project powerful blasts from his hands and increases his strength to the 15 ton range. He can also fly with the cybernetically connected Obdurium alloy wings he crafted. He can control the wings to stabilize his flight and they protect him from damage when enclosed around him. He has an Obdurium alloy helmet that enhances his vision and provides some night vision. He recently started a relationship with Crystalfrost.
Jonny Riverwind was an Apache tribal Shaman’s son in Arizona when his GorWol trait manifested during a tribal ceremony. He was apprenticing to be the next shaman when his father was killed by Dr. Dimento. Jonny approached the ISF and asked to join the team so he could get revenge for his fathers death. He participated in the Meta War and remains a calm, reassuring voice on ISF Team ALPHA. Koko Pelli is an Illusionist. He can project lifelike images into the minds of other people/animals. He can psionically cause others to see, hear, touch, smell, and/or taste things which to not actually exist. His illusions can usually fool all five senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Since his power only affects the mind, his illusions cannot be recorded on film or tape or by other means. However, his power works so strongly on the mind that even if his victim or victims know they are being subjected to an illusion, they will still react to the illusion as if it were real unless they can rid themselves of all suspicions that it is indeed false.
