The Freak was once an incredibly smart scientist. He created what he thought was an elixir to excel his physical and mental attributes to the highest a human can achieve. Instead, the elixir reduced his mental capacity, leaving him incredibly stupid and the inability to speak. He also grew in height and strength grossly mutating his appearance. Giving himself the name Freak, he took to the streets as hired muscle. He is a member of the Fearsome Five.

Introducing… The Wild-Child!
Jennie Quimby came from a rich family. While on safari with her family in Africa, she was kidnapped by a band of poachers and sold to the mysterious Cult of Kantuiki. The cultists worship a great beast with the speed and grace of a gazelle, the strength and durability of an elephant and the hunting skills and courage of a lion. The cult summoned the Kantuiki and placed it inside the body of the young girl. The next thing Jennie remembered was waking up in the safari park she was kidnapped from. In reality she shifted into the form of Kantuiki, slayed her captors and fled. After being reunited with her family she returned home to England and sought the help of witch Cassie Nightchylde to rid her of her ‘ailment’. But alas, her efforts were unsuccessful. Jennie’s parents were then contacted by Beacon, offering assistance in controlling her new power if she was to attend the Academy, an offer they quickly accepted.
The Academy mentors are a carefully selected group of people, each mentor is there for a specific purpose. As well as educating and training the students, the mentors assign and assist the team on group missions.
[L-R] Cypher, Zero, Kestrel, Silverback, Shelby Kinross
Jon Fulton was a child genius and was world-famous. Through his new-found fame, Jon and his family came into wealth and moved to the rich ‘Keep’ district in Haven City. As he grew older, his computer-like mind began to develop further. He could soon connect his mind to nearby machinery, turning things on and off, surfing the internet without a computer. He also developed the ability to create hard-light structures to serve as armor, weapons or a hover-pad to travel on. He eventually came into the employ of Beacon, becoming the organisations chief technologies officer.
Zero, or Jason One, is one of the surviving subjects of the mysterious Department 0’s God-Maker program. The group would kidnap children from poor families in order to create a powerful super-soldier. Of the 200 children put through the tests only 96 of which survived. Even less survived the process of granting them powers, leaving only 20 children. When Department 0 was shut the children that were not evacuated and taken with the escaping scientists were taken into Beacon’s care. One of which was the child who would become Jason One. He was raised to be a great hero and control his powers of gravity-manipulation. He would later don the Zero costume and fight crime alongside future wife, Kestrel.
Fiona Foster was one of Beacon’s top pilots and the last surviving member of their elite ‘Blue-Strikes’ air-force. When on a mission to deliver Beacon soldiers and Zero to apprehend the villain Dr. Pi, known for his human-animal mutate minions. His experiments to create more efficient and powerful minions led him to lure them to his island and capture them to run tests on. The team were ambushed with Fiona being kidnapped. Pi spliced her genes with that of a birds, granting her great wings, but before he could brainwash her into complete obedience Zero and the remaining Beacon troops rescued her and brought Pi in. After weeks of recovery and training she became the Kestrel.
Fred Savage was once a world-class mercenary, but after suffering a spinal injury after falling from a height during a hit, he was rendered paraplegic. He was soon contacted by Beacon offering to return his mobility in return for his services. Reluctantly accepting the offer Fred donned the mechanical ‘silverback’ suit. Taking his suits namesake he served as a member of Beacon.
Trained to be cold, ruthless and apparently sarcastic, Shelby Kinross was trained by her father, Harry Kinross, to become her successor as head of Beacon. For the time-being though she was placed as head of the Super-Human (and otherwise) department of the organisation. It was her decision to establish the Academy and so became head-mistress.
