Bio:
An X-13 attack on his power plant gave Oscar Daniels the super ability to absorb and then radiate blasts of nuclear energy at his enemies. He must work alone, because simply to touch his skin would make any person deathly ill with radiation poisoning. Hazard is doomed to live a life without physical contact with any other human, except the villains he fights. He secretly makes his home inside a heavy steel compartment deep within the confines of the plant. He has employed a team of geneticists with finding a cure for his powers and his cursed condition.Pictures:

Trip is a hard-working rancher with a big heart, and he gladly gave his services to protecting the population of his small town in Wyoming. He is an honorary member of the Protectorate, but he is only called to fight alongside them in times of utmost emergency. Mostly he helps break up bar fights and take down small-time crooks.Pictures:

James is the father of Kevin Robertson, a young hero who like his father has a pair of large feathery wings used for flight. James, though has the power to scream with destructive force, an ability not inherited by Kevin. James would prefer to have his son fight as his sidekick, so the two of them could uphold justice together, but the boy instead wants to be the sidekick of the Raven, one of Caligo’s most beloved superheroes. This has caused resentment and a rift between father and son, and prompted James to fight crime in a more savage, questionably violent manner.Pictures:
Alias: Harpy
Real Name: Gloria Gonzalez
Genre: Anti-hero
Powers/Special Skills: high-level acrobatic and hand-to-hand combat ability
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: Harpy Staff; underarm gliders on suit
Affiliations: The Green Gremlin
Other Aliases: none
Status: active
Bio:
Harpy is one of the biggest thorns in the side of the Green Gremlin, but also his most frequent love interest. She was once just the daughter of a wealthy businessman, bored with life and sick of never having any challenges. She began t push herself physically,becoming a gym rat and training to compete in a number of sporting events. She put herself into peak physical condition. And then she saw the Green Gremlin in action for the first time.She was immediately enamored by the superhero, and used her father’s money to arrange “accidental meetings” a few times, but she could never really catch his eye. So Gloria created Harpy and used her new persona to get the Green Gremlin’s attention. She often commits petty crimes just so that he’ll stop her and they can spend a few minutes fighting and flirting.
Truth be told, Gloria is a little unbalanced, or maybe just very quirky. It’s hard to tell which.
On top of her physical strengths, Harpy uses her staff and a gliding mechanism in her suit as tools to help her either fight crime or commit it, depending on her mood.

Despite his own very loud protests, three star US Army General Harold Rockford was selected to trade in his camouflage for his officer’s uniform and serve as the director of the Dogs of War, a government sanctioned team of anti-terrorist operatives chosen from all four branches of the military. Bitter about this assignment but unwilling to retire even now at the age of 83, Rockford accepted the position and now must deal with four of the most difficult men he’s ever encountered.Pictures:
The mega villain Harm relies just as much on his uncanny strategy and tactical skills as he does on his immense strength and virtual invulnerability. He is most famous for orchestrating the attack that lead to the death of Mr. Ultimate, the world’s most beloved superhero.

Real Name: Angela Spack

Powers/Special Skills: electrogenesis, electrokinesis

Affiliations: Citizens’ Hero League
Other Aliases: none
Status: de-powered
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 Citizens’ League of Heroes 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.
Angela was the adopted daughter of superhero Megavolt. She was intrigued by his control over electricity, and therefore chose to wield the same power. Angela was killed by the Incubus.Pictures:
Alias: Hardcore
Real Name: Tony Barone
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: increase the density of his body, or any one part of his body
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: Dynamos Strike Force
Other Aliases: The Bullet
Status: active
Bio:
In his mid- to late-20’s Tony was an amateur boxer and the widower father of a son, Matthew. Tony was known in the boxing circuit as “The Bullet,” because of his mighty punches and the solidity of his body. Often in fights he needed only one good punch to knock out his foe. Tony taught his son the values of honor and truth, hoping that the boy would grow up not having to fight for money.Tony’s brutal punches seemed to get stronger and more powerful over time, until the day that he paralyzed a challenger. It was then that he was asked to resign as the Bullet, as he had become such a liability.
Thrown into depression, Tony began to drown himself in alcohol, paying less and less attention to his son Matthew. Over time, Matthew fell in with a Caligo gang, becoming a criminal as a young man. One night, he was killed in a dispute with a rival gang. Awakened from his drunken haze, Tony swore vengeance on all criminals.
He learned that he had achieved such a powerful punch and thick body through a subconscious densifying of his flesh. He can cause his entire body, or just one body part, to solidify and become heavier. This helps him keep from being knocked down, avoid injury, and deliver a walloping blow with his fists. After a few months, Tony learned to consciously activate his mutant power, and began using it in the fight against evil in Caligo.
After a short solo stint as Hardcore, Tony sought out and was accepted by the Dynamos Strike Force.
