Bio:
Agatha was deemed a demon by her Bible-thumping parents when she was born and began destroying objects around their house simply by touching them. They would not touch her for fear of facing the same punishment.They dropped her off on the doorstep of a local church where a priest found and raised her as his own. He did not share Agatha’s parents’ feelings about her origin, but knew that she was a mutant with a strange gift. The priest taught Agatha to put her life in God’s hands, and to never use her power in greed or anger. Agatha went through a lot of clothes, toys, and other things before she was able to gain control of her disintegration power.
Agatha attended the same school as Johnny Danger, Wallcrawler, White Wolf, Dawn, and Thunderclap, and would with them form the youth superteam the Tomorrow Teens. But the priest discovered this and chastised her, claiming it was blasphemy and an attempt to play God. Agatha was forced to resign from the team. The day she graduated from high school, the priest suffered a heart attack and passed away. Somehow sensing he would die soon, he had slipped a letter into Agatha’s night table. After the funeral, she found it and read his words.
In the letter, the priest admitted he had been wrong about Agatha’s powers, that they had been a gift from God and therefore should not be hidden. With tears in her eyes, Agatha once again went out into the world of superheroes, joining the Dynamos Alpha Red Team and adopting the code name Cinder. She remains strong in her faith in God, and is often seen praying in times of need.

Bio:
Suffering from a rare disease, Jeffrey’s skin ages in a day what most people’s age in 30 years. Roughly once every 27 hours, his skin peels off. But what is most surprising is that when his skin sheds, below it is new skin, along with entirely new features. He looks like a completely different person each time. Needless to say, this makes him an ideal “get-in-get-out” kind of criminal. When he signed on with the villainous group the Swarm, he had a wicked-looking dagger crafted for him to slice and dice his enemies.Pictures:

Status: presumed dead
Bio:
As a child, George was given the charge to guard the Clock of Changes by a cosmic being called the Overchron. It gives its possessor the ability to travel forward or backward in time to any era he wishes. At first, the child was pure and steadfast in the keeping of the Clock, but as he got older, the desire to fiddle with time itself became too great. He soon became addicted to traveling through the ages, causing mischief wherever he went. He even learned how to manipulate time into an extremely destructive weapon. In a possible future, Chronos’s descent into villainy prompted the creating of the Clocksmen, a temporal force of time-travelling soldiers tasked with finding and neutralizing Chronos. It was this villain who created a tidal wave in the time stream that wiped out every clocksman except for Countdown, who must now carry on the clocksmen’s mission alone and with revenge as an added motivator. Now, completely warped by his obsession, Chronos aspires to make himself into a virtual god.During a showdown that spanned several millenia existing simultaneously, Countdown finally confronted and defeated Chronos by destroying the Clock of Changes and leaving George stranded in the year 1,472,908 BC.
George was found nearly dead by a tribe of Neanderthal men and taken into their group. He eventually became one of them and sired a strange, hybrid daughter with one of the Neanderthal women. This little girl would grow to become one of the most catastrophic forces on Earth.

Bio:
During the early half of his life, Roy grew a bizarre and unhealthy obsession with colors. As an adult, he turned this obsession into a way of life when he began a career as the masked criminal Chromo. He would only commit crimes having something to do with one or more colors. Though Roy is hardly a force to be reckoned with, he seems to have luck on his side because although he rarely succeeds at the robberies he attempts, he also always manages to escape to annoy the heroes of Caligo another day.Pictures:

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 actually 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.
Brad chose to be able to control cold, mostly because he enjoys winter but knows the impact freezing winds can have on a person. He is laid back and comedic to a point that some of his team mates get annoyed.

He then sends them in to destroy whatever he wants destroyed, despite their pleas to release them from his psychic grip. When he is finished with the current job, he generally kills those he has controlled. Chessmaster is among the Raven’s vast rogue’s gallery.Pictures:

Another of Brainstorm’s experimental endeavors was a suit that could absorb and safely store deadly airborne chemicals. Its wearer is Kevin Paulson, a former Minor League baseball player. He now wears this suit as Chemical Agent, and uses it to protect citizens from chemical attack (which occurs surprisingly often in Caligo). An added bonus to the suit is that it can also release the stored toxins at a later time, either into another storage facility or at one of Chemical Agent’s foes.Pictures:
