Alias: The Hanged Man
Real Name: Hezekiah Hutchinson
Genre: Supervillain
Powers/Special Skills: super strength; virtual immortality
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: The Major Arcana
Other Aliases: none
Status: at large
Bio:
Hezekiah Hutchinson was born in 1768 in a seaside settlement that would one day become the coastal town of Tucker’s Point. His absent father was the feared pirate “Demon” Dirk Hutchinson, a seafaring outlaw notorious for his bloodthirsty ways. But Hezekiah’s mother was something far worse. She was the witch Lilith Wisp, the last living sister of the Blood Moon Coven, and a practitioner of the most gruesome of black magics. You might say that Hezekiah never really had a chance to live a decent life.When Lilith was finally revealed as a witch to the people of the town, they burned her at the stake. Hezekiah was made a ward of the local government, and was raised by various members of the town. But from an early age, he began to exhibit signs of his dark heritage, leading up to one of the most horrific series of murders that had ever been seen in the area, or has to this day. When he was finally apprehended, at the age of 23, Hezekiah had brutally murdered 29 of the townsfolk. He was hanged for his crimes.
But more than blood had been passed to Hezekiah from his mother. Some of her terrible power had seeped into her son’s very essence. Although his soul traveled immediately to the depths of Hell, Hezekiah’s body remained relatively intact. He began to decompose, but at an exponentially slow rate, so that by the time he was accidentally unearthed in present day, he looked as though he’d only been dead for a month. And he is technically still alive.
Without his soul, Hezekiah can barely be called alive, let alone human. What little mind he has is devoted, as in his first life, to the murder of other people. He was captured and is now being controlled by the Major Arcana, a group of supervillains based on tarot cards.

Alias: Hammerhead
Real Name: Nina Pepperidge
Genre: Corporate CEO
Power(s)/Ability(s): (as Stiletto) expert markswoman
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: (as Stiletto) various firearms, blades, and toxins
Affiliations: M.A.C.H.I.N.E.
Other Aliases: Stiletto
Status: at large
Bio:Nina was vice president of M.A.C.H.I.N.E. before it was brought to ruins by former operative Rage. She was spared in the carnage, but witnessing Rage’s rampage changed something inside Nina’s head. She had been the voice of reason that had kept the CEO, Rex van Landingham, from making a lot of stupid mistakes with the company while simultaneously warding off the romantic advances of Rex’s man-child son Peter and keeping the morally ambiguous CFO Gordon Bellows from doing anything too illegal. But when she found herself without a job and witness to the slaughter of so many MACHINE agents, she was filled with vengeance for the anti-hero who had ended life as she knew it. She became an assassin herself, completely revamping her image and turning into a sexy, seductive hitwoman with revenge in her heart. Her alias changed from Hammerhead to Stiletto, and though she is usually found on a mission for loads of cash, she always has Rage in the back of her mind.
Like all executive level agents of MACHINE, Nina’s codename was that of a predatory fish.

Alias: Hammer
Real Name: Carl Kannon
Genre: Supervillain
Powers/Special Skills: above average strength and durability
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: two massive hammers
Affiliations: none
Other Aliases: “Crash” Kannon
Status: at large
Bio:
Carl was, for much of his adult life, a moderately successful boxer, but one infamous for unnecessary violence in the ring, earning him the nickname “Crash”. He was little more than a mad dog broken free of his chain during fights, relentlessly beating his opponents to bloody pulps even long after the bell was rung. Eventually, most of his fellow pugilists simply refused to fight him. Finally, Carl was able to book a fight with a newcomer, young and still relatively new to the sport. As usual, Carl took the fighting way too far, but this time, the kid didn’t get back up. Ever. With the somewhat accidental death of this opponent, Carl was finally ejected from the world of organized boxing. But the power he felt upon the true realization that his fists had literally murdered another person warped his already twisted mind ever more askew, and before long he had become a serial killer, beating unsuspecting victims to death with his hands. But soon even that began to bore him, until he got his hands on a pair of heavy hammers. After that, the hunt was on, and Carl had killed so many people before he was finally caught by the Raven that he had become the most famous villain in Caligo, at least temporarily. The papers dubbed him Hammer, a name that Carl likes very much as he sits alone in his cell on death row, awaiting either execution or freedom…Pictures:

America has been plunged into a second dark ages by the Sphinx executives. Anyone unable to pay the hefty price for comfortable living is forced to live in the ruins of the cities that once were, surviving on the remains. All five of these heroes were part of Sphinx’s efforts to create a superhuman, mentally controlled army. They were discarded when thought to be unable to cope with their bio-technologically installed powers.Half-Life was given extensive cybernetic implants, to the extent that half of his entire body is made of circuitry and metal. This gives him a computer-like brain as well as super strength and invulnerability on the bionic side.Only half of his body was finished because the project was scrapped before he could receive the full replacement surgery.
