Bio:
His face is obscured by the football helmet he wears, but he is thought to have escaped from the Thorne Hill Mental Institution. Anthony is obsessed with sports, and has fashioned himself a costume and a set of weaponry that brings his obsession to lethal life. Fanatic, as the newspapers have begun calling him, has so far baffled detectives with his murders. This is undoubtedly because he only kills prostitutes, drug dealers, and the homeless. He leaves a baseball glove on the left hand of all of his victims.Pictures:

Affiliations: Faerie World
Other Aliases: none
Status: confined
Bio:
Talvatania was a low-level wood nymph, living in the land of fairy tales. But unlike most of her kind, she had an insatiable hunger for more magical ability, which caused her to seek far and wide for ways to augment her power. Eventually this became a horrifying obsession, until she had amassed so much power that she became aware that she and the other beings in her universe were fictional characters. It was not long before Talvatania declared herself the ruler of this world, and found a way to escape it, while simultaneously manifesting it into a huge leather bound book she named the Book of Fables. She could use this book to entrap beings from the human world in the fairy tale realm, as well as walk among us, furthering her search for ultimate power. Eventually she was ensnared by the combined efforts of several wizards and witches into a binding crystal, where she remains to this day.Pictures:

Real Name: Genevieve Carter
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: physical mimicry; acquisition of memories; power mimicry
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: Dynamos Special Operations
Other Aliases: none
Status: active
Bio:
Genni’s parents were golden age actors in the movies before she and her brother Ben were born. Thanks to their pretty, famous faces, the money came pouring in. But, as is the cold hard truth with all of God’s creatures, the Carter couple began to get older, and their faces showed it. Soon fewer movie offers came, and their wild, carefree lifestyles left them suddenly wanting for money.To boost their popularity and make their way into the spotlight once more, both Megan and Aiden Carter volunteered for an experimental plastic surgery, one that could surgically attach a second, more youthful layer of skin over their faces and give them back their glamorous good looks. The extra layer was semi-organic, and could adapt to the many facial features that humans make.
For a few years, the experiment was a success. Megan and Aiden were once again America’s sweethearts. During this time, they had two children, Genevieve and her brother Ben. But sadly, negative effects began to surface. The second layer of skin on each actor began to take over, covering their faces completely in a thick layer of flesh. It still allowed them to breathe and see, and could absorb food. Then, the skin burrowed itself deeper and entwined itself into their brains. Once there, it allowed itself to be controlled mentally by its hosts. Suddenly, both Aiden and Megan could mold their faces to look like anyone they came in contact with physically.
However, the shock didn’t end there. After a time, the skin gave each host a new power. Aiden gained the ability to also gain the memories and knowledge of the person he mimicked, and Megan was able to form her hands into any object she desired.
Their children, Genni and Ben, acquired all of these traits and appearances. Genni adopted her father’s abilities, and Ben his mother’s. When the children were teenagers, both Aiden and Megan committed suicide. They were ashamed of what they had become and what they had produced.
Ben and Genn have now grown up and were much better able to cope with their differences than their parents. Ben was eagerly recruited by the CIA as an international spy.
Genn, on the other hand, turned her powers toward superheroism in their hometown of Rockford though not nearly as large as the hulking metropolis of Ford City, Rockford has its share of shadows, and Genn, under the guise of the heroine Facade, is more than capable of keeping it to a minimum. But now Genn, at the age of 33, yearns for something more. She has heard of an expansive organization known as the Dynamos, and has decided to seek them out and hopes to become a member.

His parents, believing him to be Satan tempting their trust, cast Ezekiel from their home, renouncing him as their son. But his lifetime of listening to sermons and Scripture had been so ingrained in Ezekiel’s psyche that he began to believe that he was given his powers directly from God and decided to use them to do His will. But he does not only his his abilities to fight crime. He attacks any sin committed, legal or not, often against the approval of other crimefighters.

Alias: Experiment 9
Real Name: Frank Peters
Genre: Supervillain
Powers/Special Skills: none
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: various cybernetic enhancements
Affiliations: Sphinx Corporation
Other Aliases: none
Status: at large
Bio:
Frank Peters was a senior in college when he was abducted by the nefarious Sphinx Corporation. Frank was selected to be the involuntary test subject for the Omega Man Project. Frank’s body was pumped full of cybernetic implants, giving him superhuman speed, strength, and reflexes, and making his mind more machine than man. The implants included triple claws that could retract into the backs of his hands, a robotic tail that could deliver devastating sweeping blows, and a new set of infrared eyes that could pick up various signals and sounds and display them to Frank via a helmet monitor. But the most bizarre addition to Frank’s physiology was the placement of the Nonachip inside his newly acquired circuitry. This device could revive Frank if he died via impulse to a cybernetic second heart and a swarm of nanobots which could repair any damage taken to his body. The limited power of this chip allows Frank to resurrect himself 8 times, giving him a total of nine lives. Because of this, the Sphinx Corporation scientists in charge of the surgery also fashioned him a costume resembling a cat. Now Frank, under the codename Experiment 9, is programmed to carry out tasks for the corporation, most of which include assassination.Pictures:

(Interview Transcript: Exemplar)Mayor Logan: Welcome to the try-outs for Caligo’s official city champion, Exemplar. Please, have a seat.
Exemplar: Why thank you, Mr. Mayor. And may I say you’re looking dashing today.
ML: Oh. Well, thank you.
E: And how’s the wife? Still baking those scrumptious lemon squares, I hope?
ML: Why, yes, yes she is. And she’s doing fine, thank you for asking. Now, the board has come up with a few questions they’d like me to ask you today, if I may.
E: Fire away, sir. I would never hold back for this city’s greatest leader.
ML: Of course. First off, what is it that makes you super. In other words, what are your hyper-normal abilities?
E: Ah, an excellent question from an excellent man. I’m a telekinetic sir, I move stuff with my mind. It can be as small as an atom to as big as the Moon. You need something put somewhere other than where it is, you can call on Exemplar, master of the mental!
ML: Well, that sounds pretty impressive.
E: Oh, I couldn’t possibly accept praise like that from a legend such as yourself, Mayor Logan. I am but a smear in your magnificence.
ML: You know, brown-nosing isn’t going to get you this job.
E:…Well in that case, is this going to be much longer? Because I’ve got other interviews I’ve gotta get to today, and I still haven’t eaten lunch.
ML: No, I think that pretty much covers it.
E: Friggin’ finally. By the way, I didn’t vote for you, old man.
