After the death of the Golden Guardian and Andromeda’s disappearance, Eddie Edwards (also known as Mr. E) essentially dropped off the face of the Earth. No-one knew what happened to him, he just vanished. Years later he would reappear as Mr. Edwards, a vicious, vindictive and violent criminal facilitator. The reaon for his drastic change is unclear, but it is obviously apparent that he is targeting his former Protectors team-mates. He sent the Oliver twins after Goliath Man’s super strength formula in order to aquire it himself, he organised the kidnapping of Andromeda’s sister Impact whilst she was travelling with Paragon and, most recently, he ochestrated the bombing of the A Division headquarters and the arson of the Outcasts home, The Hideaway.
One of the Eldar, The Muses are one being of four parts (a trait they share with their sister, the twins The Veil and The Extant). Each aspect represents a fundemental of the nature of all sentient races; with A’Ilia (yellow) representing wisdom, J’Alai (green) representing creativity, K’Iliai (blue) representing willpower and L’Iria (red) representing emotion. Together The Muses represents life and creation, just as the Eldar known as The Spectre represents death and destruction, so the two are often considered diametrically opposed, though The Eldar are more complicated than that. Whilst most would see The Spectre’s destructive nature as evil, to The Muses his existance is as nessescary as theirs is, where there is life there will always be death and where there is death, new life will come to replace it.
Once a respected archeologist and expert in theological history, Professor Damien Newark made the mistake of searching for the Akashic Records, a susposedly mythical text that contains all human knowledge, past, present and future. If he did find it, he paid an awful price. Now his body plays host to the demon Zarathos and, as the professor’s resolve weakens, the demon manifests its self through his flesh. Demonic possession is, as cliche as it sounds, hell. Two soulds are not meant to inhabit the same body, and when it is two souls from different metaphysical plains (in this case, hell and earth), the resulting struggle for dominance of the vessal is excruciating pain, akin to being burned by the fires of hell its self. Zarathos is generally indifferent to the affairs of men in his current state, but his fully manifested state is that of a demon of destruction, so he and Newark are watched closely by the SRC.

Mainy targets scientific facilities that conduct animal research, also targets game hunters and people who keep exotic pets and, sometimes, zoos. Whilst her goals are commendable, her methods are not as she often favours putting the most people at risk as possible, even if other, safer methods are possible and would achieve simular results. She often teams with Polar Bear, due to their simular ideologies and methods.

Redesign of Angel from A Division. Was never too happy with her costume or face, so I went back and repurposed pretty much everything from my Kloe character from a few years back. I’d already reused the wings for Angel, so why not the rest?
Oh and the effect on the wings was a complete accident. Looks cool though.
Discovered floating in deep space by Galactic Guard with no memory of anything that happened to her since her disappearance during The Protectors climactic battle with The Spectre, as well as increadible new cosmic powers, Maria Langley has been thrust right back into the line of duty without a moment to get a hold of what has happened to her. Now stuck with a group of aliens hunting an intergalactic, planet destroying criminal across the galaxy, she is now part of a race against time to stop Omnion from finding his prize, located somewhere one Earth.
When her sister Maria (also known as the superhero Andromeda) went missing, Casey Langley not only lost a family member, but also her best friend. She idolised her older sister growing up and when her own latent superpowers began to show (she can supercharge objects through touch, the more force she puts into the contact the more supercharged the object she is touching becomes, to the point that her punches have explosive power), she dreamed of becoming a hero just like her sister. But then her sister disappeared and Casey’s world fell apart. All she ever heard was how people where sorry and how they couldn’t talk about what happened, all she needed was closure but nothing was forthcoming. And that made Casey angry. She began to use her powers to take out her frustrations on anybody she came across who might be commiting a crime, not matter how minor or even if they were actually commiting crime or not. Of course, this got her a lot of attention, not entirely good attention. Eventually, she was approached by Paragon, one of her sisters old teammates, who offered to take Casey under his wing and teach her what it means to be a true superhero. Casey agreed as she thought it would lead to her finding out what happened to her sister, but Paragon had other ideas and now Casey is being dragged along on a road trip around the world that’s part philosophy lecture and part disaster movie, accompanying a man who is the most powerful person on the planet but who refuses to lift a finger in his own defence. Sometimes Casey wonders why she’s doing it, but as Paragon says “there’s always a bigger picture”.
The owner of the infamous Emerson City nightclub and criminal hangout, Darkness, Neon is not just a pretty face (even if said face is colour inverted). Able to absorb and manipulate light and then convert it into other forms of energy at will (most commonly sound and heat, but also kinetic energy if she so wishes, giving her short bursts of superhuman speed), she can be a formidable adversary depending on how much light she has at her disposal. Unfortunately for her, she cannot turn off her ability to absorb light and if she absorbs too much without releasing the energy she can suffer ill-effects, so she prefers to stay out of direct light as much as possible. Her nightclub is used as a front for all sorts of criminal activities, from drug dealing to hiring contract killers, Neon knows everyone who does anything bad in her city, and she can hook you up… for a price.
Born with a very striking superpower, Andrew Everetts is not only super-humanly strong and increadibly tall (standing at well over 8 foot at last measurement), he also has the rather unique ability to grow a rock-like substance across his body. Not only does this give him a noticable boost in offensive power (after all, it’s bad enough getting hit by someone who is super strong, let alone someone who is super strong and whose fist is essentially a boulder), but also gives him amazing defence as well, due to his rocky exterior being almost impervious to anything other than explosives. Everetts mostly works as muscle-for-hire for various criminal gangs and super villains, but he’s not adverse to pulling a job or two on his own, and he has notable form against a number of superheroes. He’s beaten Red Kite on a number of occasions and has fought the entirity of Team Supreme to a draw without any back-up, but most note-worthy was the time where he put King Hawk into a coma for a month, an impressive feat considering that the twins are known for having some of the fastest working healing factors of any superhero and have survived being dropped from around 100 feet up a skyscrapper before.
One of the Eldar, The Spectre is a primordial force of destruction. At the dawn of the universe, he rampaged across the stars, until he was sealed away in the ether between realities by the other Eldar. Each planet contains some form of lock to keep The Spectre imprisoned, but those planets that support life upon them also act as doorways. Should the lock on one of these planets be opened, then a portion of The Spectre’s power could escape and even such a small amount could spell doom for the planet. What is even more terrifying of a thought however, is that The Spectre isn’t even the strongest of the Eldar.The supervillain Nightstalker believes that The Spectre is the source of his own power and has made it his life’s work to free the Eldar, with one of his more successful attempts leading to the blinding of his arch-enemy, The Watchman, and the disbanding of The Protectors.
