We're starting to see some new people. So, I thought we would need a place for everyone to sign in. Put your name, superpowers, brief back story, and location. Include a pic if you've got one.

(Pin this will ya penguin?)

Name: Shockwave

Powers: Hyper-sonic flight, sonic blasts, heightened hearing, mute field

Location: Indianapolis, IN

Back story: Through a series of unlikely events, I got a ring that grants wishes. I gave my wife the ring for our anniversary. While at a gas station, we were robbed. My son, holding onto the ring, wished that we could stop the muggers like superheroes. In a flash of lightning and a crack of thunder, the family gained superhuman abilities.

Name: Psynapse

Previous Codename(s): Mindgame

Location: Tacoma, WA

Known powers:

Telepathy: Since he was a child, RJ could sense others thoughts and emotions. He would often use this to his own advantage, especially in his early career as a pickpocket. He soon discovered that he could implant thoughts and emotional states into others' minds. Unlike similar empathy, his power seems to work even over vast distances as he can communicate with others in a distance of ten miles or more.

Also, this power includes:

Illusions: Able to focus this power to allow him to draw on peoples emotions in order to make them see illusions or to make them believe they are physically impaired (being choked, blinded).
Enter Consciousness: Able to enter another's mind and even dreams to speak with the person, or even to combat them.
Telempathic Manipulation: He can manipulate other people's minds, achieving a variety of effects.
Mind Control: He can control the thoughts and actions of others by placing empathic imprints in their minds.
Heal Trauma: The ability to erase a person’s memories and to heal mental trauma through “psychic surgery,” the power to stimulate or deaden the pain and pleasure centers in a persons brain.
Induce Pain: Can psionically induce pain in others via psionic blast or send back pain waves from other telempaths.
Negate/Inspire Emotion: RJ can deaden or negate the emotions of others.
Empathic Link: He has developed a mental link with his teammates and can feel their emotional state and feelings.
Mediumship:Can perceive necroplasmic residue left behind by the death of living beings and see them as ghost-like substances. Also, he can communicate with them and even let them to speak through his body.
Mental Detection: He can sense the presence of another metahuman within a small but as yet undefined radius of himself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.
Psionic Blasts: Can focus his mental power into force bolts of a pure psychic energy, also called Psionic Blasts, and use them as an offensive weapon, to render opponents unconscious or to erase memories.She can also fire them as a psionic beam. Use also to suggest thought and empathic actions from other people.
Psychic Liberation: RJ can also use his psionic blasts to set others free of mental control.
Precognition (possibly)
Retrocognition: Can catch glimpses of the past.
Telekinesis
Psy-sword: The manifestation of all his psychic energy into an offensive melee weapon. He cannot use any of his other powers while the sword is active. Only able to effect astral, mental, psychic, or illusionary beings.

Story: Not much is known currently about Psynapse. He came from a rough family that really made it rough when they found out he was a mutant. He came to Skiffytown to find a way to put his powers to use and has made many good friends since. Currently he is trying to figure out his own true origins after being told he was a clone of an already-existing Skiffytown hero. The veracity of this statement isn't completely confirmed yet, but has some validity. Psy was temporarily taken to the Shadow Realm with Night Phoenix and healed with the energies therein. His powers have since changed and it is unknown to what extent his exposure to the Shadow has done to his powers, his mind, and his personality. RJ is potentially one of the most powerful residents of Skiffytown, but is afraid to use his powers to their fullest extent for fear of hurting others or himself.

Team Affiliations: Justice Brigade, GNM Investigations

Alright- I'll play along:

NAME: Agent Null

PREVIOUS CODENAMES: None

LOCATION: Portland, Oregon

KNOWN POWERS: None

STORY: Null began his career as a villain originally, using both his martial arts prowess and intellect to earn money as a criminal. His days of easy crimes, fast drugs and faster women came to a screeching halt roughly five years ago when he was arrested and spent the first of what would be many sabbaticals in local prisons.

Finally after a stint behind bars late in 2007, Null decided to lead a straight life. But he despaired, not having anything positive to contribute to society. Finally he decided upon hearing of the rise of heroes in the country and decided to try his hand at being a villain once again. It was during his various run-ins with other heroes that he had truly had enough of living a crininal life, and now he devotes his time towards advancing social causes and aiding those that others have forgotten.

PICTURES: There are very few pictures of Agent Null at the present time, as he himself is fiercely protective of his image being strewn all over the internet.

NAME: NOIR

Powers: Hyper-Acute senses of Hearing, Smell, and Taste... Enhanced Durability/Bullet resistance- up to .9 mm round... Sharpened Vision

Weaknesses: No color vision... sees only in Filmatic/Noir-esque black and white... 80% loss of feeling/touch due to increased density/toughness

Side Effect: Exhibits feats of super human strength due to inability to feel pain and increased density of bone and muscle.

LOCATION: Mercy City, NJ

BACK STORY: Working as a Security Guard and looking for his purpose in life, Noir spent most of his time reading old Detective and Pulp novels... During a routine night at the medical warehouse he was guarding, a break in lead to a pursuit and the eventual activation of a failed experimental laser meant to restore sight and hearing to disabled individuals using animal DNA. Now, with heightened senses and other gifts Noir has become the Penultimate detective in Skiffytown assisting where he can and chasing the Cold Cases that have been forgotten.

Name: Dragonheart

Powers: Possessor of the "Legacy Force", an ancient spiritual power of the entire race of the
Dragons of Light. The Legacy Force is soul-bonded to him and endows him with the following
powers; superhuman physical attributes, reflexive damage resistance, flight, supersenses,
elemental mastery: fire, and the ability to attune himself to magical objects and instinctively
understand their purpose and function.

Aside form this he also carries several magical relics with him at all times. Most prominent of
these are his twin swords "Veracity" and "Conviction". The swords tensile strength are equal to
steel but can grow stronger according to the strength of his faith at any given time. They can
cut through almost anything, allow him to translate any written or spoken language within 30 ft.
and allow him to transfer part of his life essence ot another creature, wounding himself but
healing them in the process. His dragon bracers can erect a powerful forcefield around him for
up to one hour a day and his costume is made of eldritchweave, a material that is a strong as light
armor but as flexible as normal cloth and can repair damage to itself so long as it is relatively
intact. Other magic items include his karmic pendant and his spikes of the storm lords.

Weaknesses: Dragonheart has a weakness against intense cold energy ( a trait carried over from
his dragon patrons due to their reptilian nature ). Cold energy weakens him and makes him more
irritable. He is also vulnerable to necronium, also called "death metal". It is made of cold iron and
the distilled essence of human suffering and while he is not weakened when in proximity to it,
necronium dampens his enhanced senses and can overcome virtually all of his reflexive damage
resistance, inflicting terrible wounds on him as if he were a normal person. Due to his enhanced
senses it is also possible to harm him through sensory overload.

Backstory: Dragonheart inherited the Legacy Force from one of his ancient ancestors named Eliazar
Esperanzas who was a knight of a noble order trained by dragons called the Order of the Blazing
Justice. During a great war against an evil group called the Harbingers of Oblivion, the Dragons of
Light instilled Eliazar with the spiritual blueprint of their races creation and placed him in a magical
sleep, far away fro mthe battle and hidden by many magic wards to obfuscate where he was. He awoke
many years later after the war had ended with the Dragons having lost but the Harbingers also almost
totally destroyed as well.The Legacy Force passes on to a random member of Eliazars progeny but it
remain dormant and undetectable. A recently uncovered prophecy stated that one day, at a pivotal
moment in mankinds history and on the eve of a great evil reemerging unto the world the Legacy
Force would awaken within one of Eliazars progeny. The prophecy also states that one of the keys to
humanities survival is for the possessor of the Legacy Force to find a way to use that power to
somehow bring about the retunr of the Dragons of Light to help destroy the great evil and lead mankind
into a new golden age of hope, reason, and understanding. The Legacy Force has awakened and
Dragonehart stands ready with his fellow superheroes to do battle at their side, protect the innocent,
and bring justice to his foes.

NAME: KYBERSTARR

Powers: The Cosmic Force grants power according to desire. For me, this is green energy bolts (alien bracers help tone them down to non-lethal levels when I'm angry, but I have since mastered myself enough not to need them), the ability to see positive or negative intention by aura and thus anticipate villainy (the alien goggles also amplify this, but in this world of clouded morals, I still need them to see auras clearly), and super-speed that I'm hoping will eventually lead to true flight.

Weaknesses: Most Kyber Crystals, which unlocked my powers from dormant D.N.A., are positive, though a few are negatively charged, and as such act as a psych-sedative, robbing me of willpower and belief, and thus, strength, even though the effects are not directly or truly physical in nature.

Location: Relocating next month to Hollywood, CA.
Occupation: Student
Group: None
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 243 lbs.

Backstory: I saw many non-human entities in my youth, which unlocked much awareness often buried too deep in the human psyche. Wonder led to belief, and belief led to ability. Finally, chance(?) allowed me to discover some Kyber Crystals, which amplify psychic strength. This was the final key to the vault of the power dormant within me (indeed within us all), and allowed me to manifest powers according to desires built up throughout my life thus far. The alien stewards of the Crystals afforded me the bracers, goggles and uniform to better use my powers (like training wheels on a bicycle). The uniform itself is part of a larger order, the alien term translating roughly into English as "Cosmic Avengers", similar in code to Jedi Knights and less like the Green Lantern Corps. (despite the green uniform and thus commonly asked question -- Jedi and Avengers are defenders and stewards, indeed spiritual in practice, while the Lanterns are more military in practice).

Role-models: Warrior (a.k.a. Ultimate Warrior), General Patton, Monkey Woman, Major Victory and Weird Al.

Final note: Not nearly as much of this story as you'd think is fiction. A good deal of it is true. I have led a very bizarre life.

Background:





Prime Penguin is a creature born from the imagination of children, a conceptual entity, and the living embodiment of mirth. The waddling warrior has the ability to detect evil and untruths. Armed with the Trout of Truth and The Guppy of Guilt (not to mention the awesome power of Fish Breath). he fights a never ending battle for truth, justice, and grilled flounder (hint of lemon). Gifted with the proportionate size and strength of a real penguin (and unfortunately the same build) the Arctic Avenger strives to promote awareness for juvenile diabetes (WWW.JDRF.ORG) and to provide example for heroic and (if possible) comic behavior.



Prime has a wicked sense of humor, and is working with the hero Dragonheart to explore the extent of his abilities. Also Prime's ever-present cigar is much more than it seems.





Weaknesses: Prime is new to this plane of existence and is somewhat a slave to his vices (cigars/brunettes/infantile humor)... he does however strive to do good.

History:


**Origin of the KnightVigil as stated during disclosure**


I was born into a small sub-urban Roman Catholic family many years ago. Like most families we got along and went to church on Sundays. I was an altar server, my dad a Eucharistic Minister, and my mom a Choir member. Innocence can only last so long though. Having gotten into a fight when I was seven and losing, I insisted that my father put me into Tae Kwon Do so I could beat up the kid who hurt me. I quickly learned that misusing the techniques I was taught was wrong and soon discovered I was different than other kids. I noticed if I concentrated hard, things appeared to slow down and sometimes stop. I didn't know it yet but I thought I was a "mutant"; gifted, damned, or blessed with the ability to slow or stop the passage of time within a small radius. In the following years, as my powers developed, I became best friends with a large kid named Bobbie and I fell in love with a girl named Kristi Hires whom I dated for the next decade. In High school, after football practice, I came home to find that Bobbie and Kristi were at her house making out. I was devastated and bolted for the mall to bury myself in grief. There I encountered a Gothic girl named Violette Skye who took me under her wing and showed me the darker side of life. I lived with her and her girlfriend Crystal for a few years never once contacting my friends or family. On a particular night, I heard chanting coming from Crystal's room. Upon entering Violette told me that she was practicing her craft, "witchcraft" that is. Suddenly, from a single candle, a huge flame shot up emitting a blood red light and a huge demonic arm reached forth attempting to grab Crystal, slashing violently. My power activated instinctively and froze the hand momentarily, allowing me to knock the candle to the ground. As the flame extinguished the demonic arm reached up and burned "the mark"unto my arm. I soon found myself out on my own after that but for some reason I can't remember why. I got into a barfight where two people died and I walked out unscathed covered in their blood. The police disagreed with my claim of self defense and threw me in prison. After a few days, I awoke to hear the jaunts and raves of the other prisoners. I tried to activate my power to get a little more rest but it didn't work. At first I thought that God was punishing me for my crimes, but I quickly found out that all mutants had lost their powers. Thats when my parents bailed me out. I was distraught and ashamed for them to have found me in such a state. They advised me to seek therapy. I went to see the shrink but his methods affected me adversely and I decided to quit in my dealings with him. One day my mother came to me to let know that Fr. Williams and old family friend and favorite priest was doing confessionals at church. I caught him just as he was leaving the confessional and asked to speak with him. I told him my story and he laid hands upon me as he prayed unto God to remove the evil from my heart. I felt a warmth enter my body and a holy glow seemed to fall upon the priest and then pass into me. I felt a great burden lift from me as the priest gave me a prayer written on a small piece of parchment. He told me to read this prayer everyday. I returned home to find my powers had returned but had changed slightly. Now when I activated my powers light would emit from my body. I also discovered "the mark" had changed as well. A small cross had appeared over "the mark". It was almost Halloween and my little sister wanted me to take her to a costume party. I didn't have a costume so I gathered the old sporting equipment I had laying around the house: my old dive suit, football shoulder pads, lacrosse chest guard, hockey shin guards, soccer shin guards, my tonfa from my martial arts training, my old Gothic steel-toed boots, and I deflated an old weight ball for my mask. I only got second place in the costume contest at the party, but when I returned home I chanced to glance in the mirror as I was taking off my costume. As the moonlight glanced off the pads, I saw a different image of myself. Remembering the news articles about the Avengers and the X-men, I decided that God had restored my powers for a reason, to give me a second chance at life. I had always been fascinated with the medieval knight and the crusaders that had fought for Christ so I chose to mimic them by painting my pads silver. On my chest I placed "the mark" so that when I looked upon myself I could see the evil I face each day. Upon my left shoulder I placed the sign of the cross, so that I would always be reminded of who was behind me, guiding me and protecting me. As for the tonfa, I chose to keep them as my stand by weapon for various reason; as a weapon it was capable of being used offensively, and defensively allowing me to decide how far to take it; its movement mimics the hands of a clock when weilded properly which complemented my temporal powers; and when turned inward and placed together, finally, they formed a wooden cross. As I stared upon my visage under the moonlight, I knew that I would best serve the light by staying in the darkness, a knight of God, a watcher under the stars. Then the name hit me like a bolt. The KnightVigil.



****updated Secret Origin****


Early on in life, I discovered my ability, which i thought was limited to manipulate, slow and stop the passage of time within a given field. Ignorant of its origin, I attributed my powers to my being a mutant. Boy, was I wrong!Ever since I was a small child, Fr.Williams had been close to my family. Having gone to church since my infancy, he'd baptised me, gave me my first communion, and confirmed me. Throughout that time frame I'd attended private school, vacation bible school, been in the church choir, and served as an altar server at mass all the while never realizing that Fr.Williams had been present within range had I ever needed him. Shortly after the death of my parents, Fr.Williams passed away. Overcome, with emotion at having another blow to my soul, I withdrew and searched for answers in my family Bible. One night after having brought a sort of peace to my mind, I fell into a deep sleep my Bible resting upon my lap. As I lay sound, a vision of Fr.Williams appeared in my dreams. At first, he looked just as I had remembered. Then as he neared, a brilliant flash surrounded him and he was transformed. Before my eyes, stood a being of pure light. As my vision cleared, I beheld the form of an angel. His dark hair danced upon his broad shoulders which bore great feathered wings of light. Within his hand, he grasped a ancient sword of searing with a white flame. When he spoke, I had no choice but to tremble in awe,

"Have no fear, for you are blessed within the eyes of God. All that you are, and all that you will become are solely by His hand. You have born a great cross, and have not sworn or spoken of the Lord in vain. Know that He has watched over you through all your dark times and it is good the decisions you have made. Let not the passing of your family trouble your mind, for they wait for you in His loving embrace. Great things await you, Sword of the line of Zion. Know, that no matter how difficult the journey, He will always be near to you."

Then I awoke, drenched in sweat. My hands still trembling I fell to my knees. As I lifted my head, it was then that I realized who Fr.Williams had been. The angel living by my side for all that time, watching and guiding me down the path of toward riteousness, had indeed been the Arch-Angel Uriel. As my mind absorbed the knowledge that same familiar glow appeared all around and enveloped me. The warmth of love and fire of the Truth flowed throughout my body empowering me. With my purpose renewed, I shed the mask that hid my identity. Without a second thought words escaped my lips from somewhere deep inside, "For from the light, I have stood against the darkness. Now, from the night, I shall bring forth the day. I am the KnightVigil and the time is now!"



*Warning: THESE VILLIANS POSE A GRAVE THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY AND ARE CURRENTLY AT LARGE AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF SUPERVILLIANS ALL INSTANCES OF KNIGHTVIGIL'S TRUE IDENTITY HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY "KV" FOR SECURITY REASONS.*

Known Arch-Enemies:



ARCH ENEMIES: currently at large

Nathaniel Gray aka Suit:

powers:

Being in direct contact with any biological compound, Suit can severely age his intended target within a matter of seconds. Though unable to directly cause death with his power, living beings are just as susceptible to the same aging process making them extremely vulnerable to attack. The effect will fade over time, depending on the length of exposure. Given time, Suit can also masquerade within the corpse of the freshly slain gaining any memories, abilities, and powers of the former being.

history:

Extremely adept at finding the best ways to get what he wants, this thug for hire was granted demonic powers for his ferocity at collecting debts. KnightVigil first encountered Suit on his first venture out as the costumed vigilante. At the time, Suit was accompanied by a pair of thugs Slimy and Spine. Arriving late to the scene, KnightVigil watched as Suit embraced one of the victims aging her in mere seconds. Taking the villians by surprise, KnightVigil easily out manuevered and foiled the trio's plot. Saving the lives of the two shop keepers, KnightVigil chased this felon down a dark alley where he thought he'd been secured for police retrieval. Upon later investigation, it had been discovered that Suit had indeed escaped. Fleeing to his demonic master, Suit was granted a new and grisly secondary ability. Using what he refered to as his "devilish good looks" Suit took the guise of the woman KnightVigil had saved enabling him to get close to him. Coming to her aide, KnightVigil was taken aback when after freeing her his body began to glow as if demonic forces were near. Suit attacked the bewildered hero, in an attempt to send him careening off the top floor of a skyscrapper. Unable to utilize his time abilities, when locked in physical combat, KnightVigil was saved by the mother of the woman Suit had infiltrated when she unloaded a twelve gauge shotgun into his exposed shoulder. Reeling back wounded, the blood of Suit's that fell enabled KnightVigil's light to penetrate the corpse's flesh and burn the villian out from within. Dazed by the brilliant light and sudden pain, Suit plunged over the edge to what appeared to be his death though his body has yet to be found.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Violette Skye aka NightShade:

powers:

Able to manipulate shadows at her slightest whim, NightShade's power allows her to appear and disappear at will or create creatures from the depths of her dark imaginings. Once formed, her shades can become insubstantial or solidify to diamond like hardness. Their mere presence can cause terror in the weak minded and their touch, like hers, can drain the life force from any living being leaving behind a grey dead husk.

Crystal Starr aka MourningStar:

powers:

Granted the mastery over mirrors and glass, MourningStar's abilities range from forming a nearly impenetrable armor of liquid glass over her body, the summoning of dopplegangers through use mirrors within her vicinity, to the projection of broken shards in a variety of ways. Being well versed in the occult, MourningStar has an in depth understanding of the black arts.

history:

When KnightVigil, NightShade, and MourningStar first met, it was in the form of a triad of roomates. Having previously dated Crystal, Violette invited the then depressed young individual to join her and her companion it their gothic abode. Upon one particular evening Crystal was practicing her craft, and inadvertently opened a doorway to the beyond. Letting out a scream as a vile hand surrounded by a red aura sppeared our hero rushed to her aide, sealed the portal before the entity could fully emerge but not before he received the scar. Violette then became obsessed with recreating the event, foolishly thinking she could control the demon, he and Crystal slept. Hearing the chanting, Crystal awoke and ventured out while our hero slept into Violette's room. Before her stood Zelestsu, lord of the seventh gate of Hell who pulled her and Violette screaming into the shadows. Their cries awoke "KV" who upon entering the doorway to the room was confronted by the charred remains and utter darkness. Sensing he should not venture forth, "KV" fled. While events transpired elsewhere with "KV", Violette and Crystal sealed a deal with Zelestsu for their souls in exchange for eternal power and to join the living damned. One catch was that they were to use this new found power to hunt down and return the "one who carried the mark". The demon gave unto them a second advantage as he was able to draw "KV"'s power out from within him. Disarmed, "KV" would have been easy sport but unbeknownst to them, his powers had been restored by a priest who had also granted him a new ability and the courage to become the KnightVigil. Trying to befuddle the newly born hero, Violette and Crystal adopted supervillian personas so that their true identities would remain unknown. In the initial clash that insued, Crystal's love for "KV" caused her to drop her guard giving KnightVigil the opening he needed. The now battle ready SuperHero proved to be a match for both of them and gazing upon the true faces of NightShade and MourningStar, KnightVigil was overcome with grief, pity, and longing. Before he could embrace his fallen lost loves, they were drawn into a deep red portal by the great demon. Peering down unto the depths of Hell, the KnightVigil's eyes met the gaze of Zelestsu. The demonic lord wailing in rage trembled the earth knocking KnightVigil from his feet as the portal closed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roth VonBader aka BlindSight:

powers:

An assassin of extraordinary skills, BlindSight has the innate ability of invisibility limited only by one's, unfortunate enough to cross his path, eyes being closed. In that instance, he is visible only as a red silouette. Even when "visible" his enhanced speed and agility make him difficult to follow hence his chosen moniker. His special chemistry also retards his aging process, being over seventy years old he only appears half that. All this coupled with his tactical genuis and a mastery of greco-roman wrestling, BlindSight is viewed as one of the most dangerous wanted men alive.

history:

One of Himmler's last experiments involving volunteer soldiers, Roth VanBader was given a experimental cyanide based compound, which had previously killed many other trial subjects. As Roth was about to die due to the injection, England began bombing Berlin and various other chemicals and equipment fell upon him. An electrical discharge in the room, sent currents and sparks flying everywhere killing off nearby scientists. As he was flat lining, a freak bolt hit VanBader restarting his heart but bonding the various chemicals to his body. Roth laid there alone, unable to move in the darkness of the hidden bunker, how much time had passed was unable to measure. As the constant bombing continued, the cries of his dead and dying fellow soldiers drove him insane.

In a rage, he tore himself loose and began clawing his way through the rubble. Finding a bit of light, he bore his way towards it only to be greeted by the headlight of an overturned jeep. As battle raged around, his body having been deprived of food for days ached with pain. He turned toward the over-turned jeep and searched through what remained of the supplies. As he realized there only remained weaponry, the scent of burning flesh caught his attention. The torn body of a Nazi lay strewn before him bits of flesh still clinging to his nails. As he turned away in disgust and began vomiting, a glint caught his eye. Eyes bulging, he grasped the name badge of the fallen soldier. As the name Leit VanBader screamed in his mind, Roth howled with the realization that the body of his younger brother lay before him.

A nearby group of Nazi's, fleeing from battle heard the howl and turned with a start as they were mere feet from its source. As the soldiers stared in horror, the blood dripping from a source unknown over the shredded remains, VanBader raged upon them. Suddenly the soldiers, started spraying bullets in every direction, no aim, no reason. Running, screaming, terrified, they fell one by one. VanBader grabbed the last, held him close to finish him off. As the soldier's eyes glazed over glass-like, the soldier's final words sent chills down Roth's spine, "at last, I see you..." . He fell back, as the soldier's last breath was stolen from him. The haunted action of the soldiers firing in odd directions, not hitting him not even aiming at him, as if they couldn't see him, replayed again and again. Sick beyond measure, mind racing, body shaking, his self-identity began to return. All his beliefs, all his hate to the Allies re-entered his thoughts. He ventured toward the German line towards no man's land. Slowly he entered the field, bullets whizzing around him. As he stood there in his uniform, no shot came near him, "They cannot see me." With a grin, he crossed the Allied line and began slaughtering soldiers near to him. Again in desperation the soldiers began firing off randomly. Laughing with delight he tore into them as the Allied planes flew over head. Suddenly,

there was a loud explosion and VanBader was over come by darkness. As his eyes opened he found himself in chains along with other Nazi's, confused he soon discovered that Berlin had fallen and the Fuhrer was dead. The chains were removed as they were given were given there freedom within the gates of a former ghetto. Stripped of all possessions, Roth was led unto the guard house by armed guard. As they began questioning him VanBader could feel his anger welling up inside. Suddenly, the guards in the room began acting strangely drawing up there weapons. Defensively, Roth charged the guards taking them out. Searching through the desk for a pistol, he came across his brother's name badge and a Nazi flag emblazoned by a griffin. Grabbing both he ran out the door just as more Allied troops were rushing towards the tower. Ready to surrender, due to their number, Roth was shocked as the guards continued past them unto the guard house. Realizing his power had returned he fled through the now open barely guarded gate. As he stood outside, breathing free air, how vowed to bring about the downfall of the Allies. He quickly disappeared and over the next few decades and perfected his art adopting the name of BlindSight. Though mainly preferring "special" targets he quickly became one of the most feared and wanted men alive. Although much time had passed, VonBader aged at a decayed rate.

KnightVigil's first fearsome encounter with BlindSight occured when "KV" was attending a function held by a nationally acclaimed scientist in Tampa, Florida. As every one in the room watched, the scientist's speech was cut short as a line of blood appeared across his throat. His throat slit every one yelled in horror as additional cuts appeared over his still standing body. The corpse, thoroughly shredded, then flew through the air raining down fluids over the shocked spectators. "KV" rushing to the body, was thrown by some unknown force through a nearby window. As the ambulatory crews arrived "KV" went to the police and attempted to describe what happened. The police brushing aside his information attributed the scientist's death to an ebola virus and mass hysteria. Returning to the scene later that evening, KnightVigil discovered a small trail of blood leading toward the rear door of the symposium. Following the trail of treadmarks outside, he discovered it led to an old abandoned paper factory in the skirts of downtown. After spending about an hour searching the place, KnightVigil was about to brush it off as false hope, when he was "blindsided" by an invisible assailant. Do to the extremity of his injuries and inability to defend against such attacks, KnightVigil used his temporal powers around him in a last ditch effort and was forced to retreat inorder to heal himself. Unbeknownst to him, KnightVigil was caught on tape. Using this information, BlindSight set about making a trap for him, picking totally at random a couple he found dining one evening. His plan in motion, KnightVigil accepted the challenge. BlindSight laid test after test before him to evaluate his skill. In the battle that raged on, KnightVigil was again on the ropes. Pummeled toward the couple, KnightVigil discovered that they were in fact his parents. As he closed his eyes, tears rolling down, he discovered that he could see BlindSight charging toward him to finish the fight. Following the villian's motion, KnightVigil ensnared him in his temporal distortion wave. Angered at the sight of his tortured parents and blinded by a deep need for vengeance, KnightVigil unleashed combination after combination of lethal attacks as the felon struggled to free himself. With a final strike, KnightVigil accidentally knocked BlindSight free of his frozen state. The assassin, barely able to move, pulled a small box from within his belt. The factory erupted in torrent of flame as BlindSight detonated a series of explosive devices, catching all within the blast. When KnightVigil regained consciousness, he discovered that his parents had died in the explosion. Holding their bodies close to his he cried. Overcome by a deep hatred, he released their torn bodies. KnightVigil dug through the rubble, but try as he might, could find no trace of BlindSight.

Zelestsu:

powers:

The full extent of Zelestsu's powers has yet to be revealed.

history:

Very little is known about the origin of Zelestsu, the master of the seventh gate of Hell. A towering being amassed with horns and claws, his very sight can cause sheer terror or hysteria. All the turmoil in the life of KnightVigil has been caused by this demon through direct or indirect involvement. Zelestsu himself was responsible for "KV"'s girlfriend cheating with his best friend, his being seduced by the dark gothic pair, branding him with a demonic mark, hiring and enhancing Suit, and altering the video tape which led the death of his parents at the hands of BlindSight. Ignoring each opportunity to kill KnightVigil, Zelestsu insists on capturing him alive. The reason for the demon's obsession with KnightVigil stems from some future or past event that has yet to be revealed.

(Because Zetaman asked the fateful question: who is Mari???)

Name: Maritimus

Location: Based in Denver, Colorado

Powers: Super strength (so far seen lifting 100 tons), Cold generation (can lower the temperature of a hundred square feet to zero Kelvin within three minutes (zero Kelvin being the point where all molecular movement ceases: depending on where you are in outer space, the temperature is around 3 Kelvin), enhanced sense of smell and hearing, he is also aquatic: able to hold his breath for nearly ten minutes, swim around 25 knots an hour and withstand depths in excess of four hundred feet.

Weakness: Without his constant generation of cold, Mari suffers heatstroke at 60 degrees or warmer.

Occupation: Pro Wrestler/ part time hero

Group Affiliation: Great Lake Guardians

Catch Phrase: “FREEZE!!!”

Height: 7’6”

Weight: 1875 lbs

Backstory: Maritimus (Mari to his friends) was created in a lab by an unknown organization who was attempting to fuse animal and human dna to form a hybrid with the intelligence of man and the strength of beasts. But in Mari they considered a failure because rather than maintaining a human appearance (essential for convert ops), the experiment who shared genetics with a polar bear began to mutate, his body seeking a common middle ground between the two forms. Discarded as a failure and expected to die as a result of his mutation, he instead survived on the streets until he rescued a local wrestling promoter and his grand-daughter from a savage gang attack. So taken in by his appearance and help saving them that the promoter took him in to his house and eventually gave him a job at his independent wrestling show where he remains to this day. He spends his time between shows doing what he can to help around the area assisting child protective services, local animal shelters and the Great Lake Guardians when the need arises.

A few notes: Don’t expect Mari to ever take off his mask. As a result of his mutation his appearance is both frightening and a little reminiscent of a Picasso portrait with a mix of bestial and human features. A fact that he is very sensitive about. There are two ways to incite the big guy’s wrath: hurt a child or an animal.
