Status: deceased
Bio:
Hal was the police commissioner for the CPD for a record 23 years. Despite his older age, Hal continued to serve on the police force with the same tough-as-nails, no-nonsense approach until the day he was murdered by the Hangman, a terrifying serial killer he was tracking down. Hal’s death led to a non-stop manhunt that finally saw the Hangman locked away in the Thorne Hill Mental Institution.Never one to push many pencils, Hal never let his position let him get sedentary. He insisted on being part of the action for many cases. He was a hardcase, tolerating nothing short of efficient police work by his men. His only two soft spots were for his wife and daughter, Sabrina, who turned her grief at his death into the inspiration to become the swashbuckling vigilante En Garde.

Alias: Hailstone
Real Name: Gabriel Brock
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: generates intense body heat
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: Hailstone suit
Affiliations: Sphinx Foundation
Other Aliases: Fornax
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.

The year is 2056. The world is in a turmoil never before seen. The call was made for a new team of heroes, powerful beings who could smite the darkness with powerful fury.

Like the gods themselves, they now shine as our only beacon of hope…Fletcher’s suit emits a “death energy,” which quickly breaks down and disintegrates matter of any form. He represents death, the last act of life.

Alias: Gyro
Real Name: Isaac Bane
Genre: Supervillain
Powers/Special Skills: vast gravity manipulation
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: The Sinister Society
Other Aliases: Axis
Status: at large
Bio:
Isaac’s mutant ability to manipulate nearby gravitational fields surfaced at puberty. At first, this power was far less developed than it is today. He could lower the Earth’s gravitational pull on objects to make them easier to lift, and he could make himself levitate a few feet off the ground. As he grew older, however, the more he used his power the stronger it got, much like the flexing of a muscle. He became the superhero Gyro as his power evolved to allow him to repel objects from him or pull them through the air towards him, and cause objects to float through the air, somewhat like telekinesis. He lived a happy life as a public bus driver, married his sweetheart, and started a family with her. But suddenly one day, Isaac’s entire life began to fall apart around him. First he lost his job due to the lies of a co-worker. As a result, his wife left him with their two children. As she drove away her car was side-swiped by a tractor-trailer and all three were killed. A week later, Isaac’s house caught fire and burned down. Then his brother was murdered in a convenience store robbery. And finally, Isaac was arrested in connection with the untimely death of the co-worker who had gotten him fired. Through all of these events, Isaac had lost more and more of his mind until the last, when he found himself in handcuffs and in the back of a police car, he was finally, irrevocably changed. In an instant he raised the gravity of both officers in the front seat of the car to such a high degree that they were crushed. He freed himself from the car and fled into the wilderness. Over the next few days he used hi power to construct a new home, where he began to plot his revenge on the universe itself. After months of hiding, Isaac finally emerged as Axis, with his power now at terrifyingly expansive levels. To aid him in his quest for the destruction of Earth, he began to recruit other villains, until he had under his command an intercontinental network of super-criminals which he named the Sinister Society. Axis has now become so powerful and so insanely bent on annihilation, he has officially become the U.S. government’s #1 most wanted terrorist.Pictures:

This is the transcript of the interview conducted by Caligo City Council of the superhero Guy Galaxy concerning his entry for Caligo City’s champion. All questions were asked by Council Chairman and Mayor Ralph Logan.Mayor Logan: Good afternoon.
Guy Galaxy: Good afternoon, Mr. Mayor.
ML: It’s morning, Guy.
GG: Er, so it is!
ML: Guy, were you aware that Caligo City’s colors are blue, red, and gold?
GG: I was very much aware of that, Mr. Mayor. And wodnerful colors they are. In fact, there seemed to be a lot of each in the waiting room outside….oh, crap.
ML: Yes, we would like to see our new champion wear these colors to show that he or she is a true spokesman and representative of our fair city. I have noticed that you are wearing black and yellow.
GG: And white.
ML: Yes. Anyway, can you please tell the council why you feel that you deserve to be our new champion?
GG: Well, because I really want to be. Say, are there any dental benefits that go along with this?
ML: No. What are your powers, Guy, as if it matters at this point?
GG: An excellent question, Mr. Mayor. I can project what I like to call “star fire” from my hands. It’s an energy that scientists have likened to that which is emitted by stars. It’s a powerful weapon against any and all of my enemies.
ML: I see. Are there any more questions from the council before we excuse Mr. Galaxy?
(silence)
ML: Yes, well that will be all. Thank you for your entry. We’ll let you know our decision once all interviews have been conducted.
GG: I’ve got a good feeling about this…

Real Name: Kirby Jackson
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: super stretching; near-invincibility
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: none
Other Aliases: none
Status: active
Bio:
Kirby was born with his strange ability to stretch and mold the shape of his body. He was fortunate enough to have two wonderful parents who loved him regardless of his abnormality, and they raised him to be a sweet, friendly, and honest boy. When he expressed a desire to become a superhero, his parents were somewhat hesitant to allow him to do so, but it soon became apparent that any wound Kirby sustained would immediately heal itself. Kirby was basically invincible.In fact, Kirby is one of the few people to survive an attack by the supervillain Aaron Kruger. Kruger’s ability is body part substitution, in which he can replace any of his body parts with those of superhumans and then gain their powers. Kruger used his enchanted sword to lop off Kirby’s right arm. Although the boy was able to quickly re-grow the limb, he was never quite the same smiling, warm boy he had once been.
But, Kirby is still as good as he can be, and he still uses his incredible power to protect the citizens of Caligo from the threat of darkness.
