Jana Mirtasova was a Czech jewel thief working in the United States for some quick scores. Running afoul of the police, FBI and criminal organizations Jana was found by Col. Stanislav and he sheltered her from her pursuers. It came at a price though. Stanislav drugged her and experimented on her seeing if he could find her GorWol gene. His experiments caused her Gor Wol trait to manifest and she escaped using her new powers to fight off both Col Stanislav and the police. The press named her Betty Blitzkrieg and the name stuck. She now uses her powers to continue as a criminal and even partnered with Galaxa for a time fighting the ISF. Jana is a powerful electrokinetic. She can discharge powerful electric energy bolts from her hands, can disrupt nearby machinery, absorb various forms of energy and re-direct it as electricity, create electric cages, attack the neurological centers of her opponents freezing them, magnetize metals, ride magnetic waves in the air as if flying and ride along electrical currents.
Marcello Makisig was born without legs in the Philippines but still managed to attend Charles Darwin University, Australia after his family immigrated there. He graduated with degrees in mechanical engineering, physics and robotics. He became a brilliant engineer working on advanced weaponry for the Australian Army until a co-worker stole one of Mercello’s designs and passed it off as his own. Marcello tried in vain to retrieve the designs and after being found rummaging through the thief’s office was fired under the grounds of espionage. Broke and with no place to go, a local criminal gang convinced Marcello to work for them. He helped them break into technology facilities and steal resources he needed to create his armored suit. After stealing what he needed and creating the suit, Marcello put it on, stole money from a nearby bank, gave it to the gang and left to become a criminal. His first stop was to kill his old co-worker. This brought him into conflict with Major Mercury and later Killer Bee. After a few years struggling as a solo villain, Mecha-Viper joined Galaxa’s villain group. The Mecha-Viper suit allows Marcello to fly, slither on the ground, has auto-targeting wrist blasters, a sonic cannon, a rocket launcher, provides enhanced hearing and vision, and protects him from kinetic, fire, energy, acid and cold attacks. The cybernetic tail responds to Marcello’s thoughts and he can coil it around an opponent like an actual snake.
Clarence Wittindon was a small time Canadian crook who fled Monties in Winnipeg to rural Nanuvat in northern Canada. He bumped into a Canadian robotics researcher named Darwin Leveler and got a job as a handyman for Darwin after lying about his past. Darwin was working on an artic research robot to explore the North pole when a lab accident almost killed Clarence. Feeling guilty and with the means to improve Clarence’s life, Darwin built the research robot frame around what was left of Clarence’s torso, effectively making Clarence a cyborg. Uploading files into Clarence’s brain so he could learn how to use and repair the suit Darwin intended for Clarence to man the suit into the artic to complete the research. Clarence had different ideas and after killing Darwin, escaped back to civilization not as a small time crook but as a cyborg meta villain named Iceborg. After clashing with ISF members Stormdancer and Jammer Iceborg joined Galaxa’s villain group. Iceborg has Cyrokinetic abilities. He can generate ice and cold from his body, use the moisture in the air to create ice objects, and shoot ice and cold blasts from the suit. The suit itself is extremely durable and allows Clarence to lift 25 tons.
Nancy Pitton was working as a waitress in rural Texas when her GorWol trait manifested. Feeling that life owed her and finally gave her a break she used her powers to rob the restaurant where she worked, the local bank and a nearby department store. She was detained by ISF member Nighthorn who happened to be in the area investigating another crime. Handed over to the police, Nancy was sent to prison. A few days later Col. Stanislov broke her out of prison and offered to give her a suit and augment her powers if she worked for him. Nancy agreed then took the suit and fled after Stanislov increased her powers. Nancy took the name Honey Badger and fought as a solo villain until Galaxa convinced her to join up. Honey Badger is a biokinetic. She can lift 15 tons (up from her original 1 ton), is fairly durable and a fierce combatant. She also displays some Ergokinesis but limited to generating energy blades from her wrists with assistance from the suit. She recently discovered she could shoot the blades out as energy blasts but the blasts are not as powerful as the wrist blades. Her suit enhances her defensive abilities to withstand high degrees of kinetic attacks.
Frederico Geatano was a Carabineri Special Intervention Group member when he was shot during a raid at a Mafioso compound. As he lay in the hospital ward Frederico felt abandoned by his unit and the Italian government. Following his discharge from service, Frederico retired to a small villa outside of Naples when he discovered his GorWol trait abilities. He then faked his death, walked over to the local mafia boss, beat up his enforcers and then asked for a position in the organization. He served the Italian Mafia for many years as one of their chief assassins. He eventually left when his mafia boss died and he sold his skills on the world market. This brought him into contact with other Meta Humans and he was hunted for political assassinations. He has standing feuds with Gunslinger, Powerstryke, Lady Dynamic, and Bengal. He recently joined Galaxa’s meta villain squad for more protection and help against the ISF. Darkfist is an Umbrakinetic. He can project dark/negative energy from his body to conceal himself, blind opponents, shoot dark blasts, teleport, create dark shields and see in the dark.
Mihkail Luskovich was a Belarussian Spetsnaz soldier who volunteered for a special program run jointly by Russians and Belarussians. Mihkail was poked and prodded for weeks until the scientists came up with a special serum to see if they could make him a super soldier. Mihkail took the serum and immediately died. Then he revived himself and displayed tremendous radioactive energy powers. Given the code name Warhead, Mihkail was sent to the US to steal an experimental energy converter from Cray Industries. Warhead easily broke into Cray HQs in Maryland but was stopped by ISF members Kharaman and Crystalfrost. Due to his failure the Belarussian government denied their knowledge of Mihkail and left him to rot in prison in the US. When Dr. Dimento broke Scales out after one of his captures Mihkail also took the opportunity to escape and made his way to Mexico. He worked for a time as muscle for a drug cartel but then left when the cartel was targeted by the ISF. Mihkail then found himself back in Europe working for a mysterious benefactor stealing priceless ancient artifacts. When the benefactor turned out to be Demonmancer, Mihkail ended up fighting both Mystik and Knight Rose before fleeing. Finally Dimento found Mihkail and forced him to join the Dark Cabal. Warhead is a radiakinetic; he can generate radiation energy for various effects. Radiation emanates from his body which harms foes, but empowers and shields him. He uses this energy to absorb damage, heal from wounds and debilitate nearby foes. His melee attacks also have radiation energy in them and he can weaken foes with every blow. Warhead has good resistance to most ballistic and kinetic attacks but has high resistance to energy and toxic attacks. He is super strong and can lift up to 35 tons. He can generate radiation energy behind him and fly through the air.
Holston Kurst comes from a wealthy banking family in Switzerland. He grew up with the finest tutors, attended numerous prestigious universities for degrees and was expected to come back to Switzerland to be part of the family’s banking business. Holston decided to take a summer vacation before committing himself to banking. While in the Himalayas, Holston was trapped in a snowstorm and sought refuge in a mountain cave. A tibetan monk was also in the cave meditating. Stopping his meditation the monk recognized great energy coming from Holston and they talked for hours while the storm raged on. Finally the monk touched Holston in the head and activated his GorWol trait causing Holston to pass out. Then the monk walked out into the raging storm and left Holston alone. Holston had a vision while unconscious about bringing his version of order and control to the world. When Holston awoke he left the confines of the cave and noticed the monk frozen solid outside. Taking this as a sign Holston returned to Switzerland and started recruiting converts to his new faith. When his converts became too aggressive for the likes of the ordered Swiss, Holston relocated to Providence in the US and started recruiting there. This brought him into conflict with Warmage. Holston has sent many meta powered mercenaries to kill Warmage but all have failed thus far. Holston has a modified form of Toxickinesis. This allows him to infect his foes with toxic energy. Holston seems to increase in power as his foes wither away from his toxic assaults.
Jerry Patterson was a juvenile delinquent in Atlanta where he developed a fascination with fire. By the age of 15 he was a clinical pyromaniac. He was sent to juvenile detention for burning his school down and endangering the lives of his classmates. What really happened was his GorWol trait manifested in a time of stress and he could not control the fire shooting out of his body. A few years later Colonel Stanislav heard of Jerry’s confinement and rescued him. Stanislav then conducted experiments on Jerry’s cell structure and modified his genetic code to help him gain better control of his powers. Jerry battled the ISF as Pro-Pain, using his powers to create wanton destruction and devastation. Currently Jerry is a sometime member of the Galaxa’s villain group due to his penchant for fleeing a battle when the odds are not in his favor. Jerry is a pyrokinetic. Stanislav augmented his powers significantly and Jerry can generate tremendous amounts of fire from his body. He usually likes to build it up before he releases it to create more damage. Jerry has control over the fires he starts/creates but presently he has no control over fires of other origins.
Lubva Shenynko was a Ukrainian experimental physicist working on an alternate energy source from asteroids samples found within the Ukraine. She and her colleagues were about to make a breakthrough deciphering the energy emissions from the asteroid samples when an electrical power surge caused the containment cell to fail and Lubva was bombarded with the asteroids energy. Lubva survived but the lab was destroyed in the explosion, including her colleagues. When part of ISF Team DELTA was sent to assist and investigate, Lubva, having gone a bit mad as well, attacked them thinking they came to kill her. She proved to be a formidable foe but she fled before they could take her into custody. Lubva fled into outer space thinking it would kill her, but she survived the vacuum of space and she journeyed to the moon. She encountered Golem there alone and after he spoke to her she helped propel him back to the Earth. Staying on the moon for a time, Galaxa, as she calls herself now, decided the ISF probably caused the electrical surge and she wanted revenge. She traveled back to the Earth and became a regular foe of the ISF, sometimes joining with the Dark Cabal. Galaxa is a photonkinetic; she can generate energy blasts of light, create energy shields of light, heal herself by absorbing light and make her body intangible for brief periods. She can also fly, is super strong (15 tons) and has good durability, especially to heat, fire, cold, ice and energy attacks. While she is brilliant, she is mentally unstable. She recently started gathering her own meta villains for a team to attack the ISF.
Deacon Kurst was concerned about Warmage hindering his grand design in Providence so Deacon Kurst hired a few super mercs to deal with Warmage. None were able to kill the hero but some came close. Master Merc was one that came close. Not much is known about him other than he may be British or Australian, is ex special forces from somewhere, and is a master with guns, knives, fists, demolitions and other military skills. Master Merc carries a large bore rifle and uses armor piercing rounds to deal with the increased amount of meta human heroes he crosses in his line of work. He is known to have operated in Central and South America, Africa and in Asia. Gunslinger believes his first name is Dorian since they crossed paths years ago in Asia. It is theorized Master Merc is a minor biokinetic and has increased stamina, reflexes, speed and awareness. He is a dangerous opponent.
Desmond Rickles was a spoiled rich teen living outside of Miami wasting his life away. His father was a successful land developer and held contempt for how Desmond led his life. Desmond got hooked on drugs and when he overdosed on heroin his GorWol trait manifested after paramedics revived his heart. His skin turned to metal and he generated fire from his body. Desmond got scared and took off running. He soon found himself in Georgia wondering how he had gotten there. Realizing he now had super powers Desmond took the moniker Speed Demon and committed a series of crimes across the south until he was hunted by the ISF. He eluded them and traveled to Providence to re-establish himself there. This brought him into conflict with Warmage. After losing to Warmage Speed Demon was recruited by Deacon Kurst as part of his Sinister Squadron. Speed Demon has metal skin which is hot to the touch and protects him from some attacks. He can generate heat and fire from his body, but he cannot control it. He can run super fast (in excess of 300 mph).
Not much is known about the meta villain Ruthven other than his name and his membership in the Dark Cabal. He claims to be the Ruthven from history but he does not use the title of Lord that is associated with the vampire named Ruthven. If he is indeed the same Lord Ruthven that would make him well over 200 years old. It is known that he was around during the Great War so he is indeed old. Ruthven claims to be a vampire, but not like the ones in the fiction books. He is super strong (1 ton), has good resistance to physical harm, heals faster than normal humans and can fly. He also is a limited umbrakinetic and can generate clouds of shadows. He has been known to attack the will and psyche of foes so he may possess some psionkinesis as well. What is known is that Ruthven is a dangerous opponent, is vicious and is hard to kill.
Jerrol Livingston III is a British archaeological scholar who specializes in ancient Mesopotamian cultures. He is also has an avid arcane researcher. While on a dig in Iraq, Jerrol uncovered an ancient Sumerian text outlining incantations to summon demons and cast other spells. He studied the text for years, memorizing each spell in Sumerian and consulted other sources before he attempted to summon his first demon. He summoned a fire breathing demon and just spoke with the demon for hours. Soon Jerrol was sending his summoned demons out on errands, mostly thievery, while he stayed safe in the comforts of his abode. Eventually Jerrols activities brought him to the attention of Mystik who investigated the criminal activities. Mystik uncovered Jerrols involvement in the crimes and the two fought a vicious battle in the outskirts of London. Mystik won the magical duel and Jerrol fled to Eastern Europe and was found by Dr. Dimento. Jerrol stayed with the Dark Cabal for a few months helping them battle the ISF during the Meta War. Currently Jerrol is no longer with the Dark Cabal and his whereabouts are unknown. Jerrol is a Demonmancer- he can summon demons from another dimension to do his bidding. These demons all posses super human strength and durability. Some of the demons posses other abilities like fire, ice or negative energy generation. Jerrol is also skilled in the mystic arts and can cast spells for various effects.
another hero. i had some issues with making her appear to transform so any suggestions are most appreciated.
Jurga Jukarvich was a Lithuanian bicycle messenger when members of the Dark Cabal robbed the National Bank in Vilnius. When ISF Team CHARLIE responded Jurga was caught in the ensuing battle. Trying to get an old woman off the street Jurga was thrown by Scales and she landed against a tree. Her GorWol trait manifested and she turned into a copy of a dog nearby, although larger, and she attacked Scales. After the Dark Cabal was driven off (with the stolen money and papers) Jurga passed out and shifted back to her human form. Gunslinger recognized the need to bring her back to ISF HQs so MEGATEK and the other scientists could examine her. It was deduced she is a shapeshifter. She can transform into animals and has a limited ability to mimic another person. She stayed with the ISF for a year learning how to control her powers, accepted associate membership and returned to Lithuania.
