Status: semi-active
Bio:
Lee worked with his father at an auto salvage yard in the town of Piedmont and helped his parents take care of his autistic younger brother Seth. When ma and pa Laroquette were killed in a house fire, Lee took on the responsibility of minding Seth. His life became a living hell and his social life became non-existent, until he noticed Seth’s interest and surprising talent for stripping cars. With this bond the two brothers lived and worked together in peace and happiness until a gang moved into Piedmont and began to systematically take over through intimidation. Seth, who was a die-hard fan of comic books, tried over and over to convince Lee to do something about the menace, but Lee saw nothing he could do. But one day, tragedy struck. Seth attempted to stop a store robbery and was shot for his trouble. Now without the most important thing in his life, Lee finally felt the drive to make a difference. He constructed a suit composed of re-inforced automobile parts and became the hero Auto. Though the first few days were bumpy at best, Lee was eventually able to drive out the gang and restore peace to his town. He now dons the Auto armor rarely, when he sees a need for a hero.Pictures:

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.
Michelle joined the CHL to be close to Jason Gellar, a volunteer who she secretly had a crush on. Tired of her own quiet, timid nature, she chose to be given a super-strong voice, loud enough to push cars over and shatter steel. Once she began to gain confidence with her powers, her own personal confidence strengthened, and a new romance blossomed among the ranks of the CHL. When the Interdimensional War was finally won, Michelle and Jason went back to their regular lives, now together and in love.

Bio:
Jack was an astronaut piloting a one-man craft through the solar system to get NASA a closer look at what lies beyond the planets that revolve around our sun. He had barely reached open space when his shuttle was impacted by a small asteroid. His controls damaged and his life support systems failing, Jack was fully prepared to die, but before he could he was suddenly bathed in a bright ray of warm light. His craft collapsed around him, but Jack found himself floating through space, very much alive despite lacking a ship and his space suit. He soon found that he could also fly at amazing speeds, and over the next several days he was able to make his way back to Earth. He then discovered that he had also gained other abilities, including the power to generate and throw blasts of energy from his hands, and the power to touch and object and cause its gravitational pull to be cut in half. With these magnificent gifts, Jack became the superhero Astroman. Though he knows nothing about the bizarre energy that imbued him with his powers, Jack is convinced that it was caused by some merciful being that found him worthy of salvation.Pictures:

Status: retired
Bio:
As a child in the 1950’s Felix was, like most boys, obsessed with superheroes. He desperately wanted to be one, but he lacked any abilities other than an active imagination. He made himself a costume anyway and gave himself the name Astralad and tried countless times in vain to become the sidekick of his most favorite hero, Mr. Ultimate. Though he admired the boy’s determination, Mr. Ultimate knew that Felix would only end up injured or worse if he encouraged him to fight crime. Driven to prove himself, Felix tried fighting crime on his own, but only wound up in peril every time as a result. Mr. Ultimate would save him and scold him and Felix would promise to stop. Eventually, as he matured into young adulthood, Felix finally abandoned his dream and was content to live out his days as a civilian. He earned a law degree at Ford University and now specializes in representing superheroes in legal proceedings.Pictures:
