Okay thought long and hard about this and did some quick research online and I've decided there is
enough characters in the Justice Machine sourcebook for Heroes Unlimited 1st edition to convert to
2nd edition that do not appear in anything other than that sourcebook. So I'm only going to do the
heroes and villains that did not appear in the 5 issues of Justice Machine published by Noble Comics.
I've searched various sources and discovered those I'm writing do not appear in comics as written
in the sourcebook at all. That makes them safe. I've talked about this issue a lot. The guy who
currently owns Justice Machine isn't doing anything with them. Failed a kickstarter and because of
the changes he made he ticked off fans, so the characters are just sitting in someone desk right
now doing nothing. If Palladium could get them back we could reintroduce them to the Heroes
Unlimited and build the game around them and the world around the original concept as presented
in those issues 1-5. But considering how things currently are not going to happen, so this will have
to do until dreams come true. So here we go folks.

ELASTICO

Elastico is a cowardly scumbag who craves power and riches. He’s noted for many cruel and
vindictive assaults since childhood. At the age of fifteen, he killed his parents by suffocation
because they wouldn’t let him participate in a particular activity. He’s spent most of his childhood
in schools for difficult children and reform schools. Most of his adult life has been spent in various
special restraint chambers to keep him from escaping. He's been convicted of three murders, in
addition to his parents, is suspected of several others as well as a multitude of other crimes from
burglary to kidnapping and extortion.

Emotionally, Elastico is quite unstable suffering from paranoia, sadism, masochism, and a phobia
of confining enclosures. He’s extremely insecure and reserved unless with a group or clearly in
control of the situation. At these times, he is very bold, cocky and cruel. He remains with the
Dominators because he feels secure with them as well as having a certain degree of power and
wealth. Although loyal to Vague and the others, except for Howler, he will desert or betray them
to avoid confinement.

HELLCAT

Hellcat is a fiery young rogue who’s a master of subversion, treachery and deceit. Although she
may appear to be a sweet innocent beauty (a scam she often employs in her civilian identity);
she is a merciless cut-throat of international repute. Hellcat is incredibly lithe, quick and deadly.
She has built a reputation as an expert cat burglar who has pillaged wealthy individuals,
governments and industries. Hell Cat’s origins began as the youngest child of six in an
impoverished family eking out an existence in the slums of Chicago. This has made her a scrappy
street fighter who goes for the juggler vein in a fight. She has seen all the inhumanity of
humankind: the cruelty, the injustice, the hunger. She is all too familiar with the parasites who
feed on despair; the pimps, pushers, thugs, thieves, con artists and all the rest. This is what
gave birth to Hellcat. Now she is extracting what she believes is due her. Using the tools she has
learned on the street along with those she’s sought through schooling, she has forsaken poverty
and the parasites that grow rich from the evils of being poor and helpless. She has pulled herself
out of the garbage to become the predator that will gorge herself on the riches of her victims.

HOWLER

Howler is a wildman found living in the Florida everglades. He is believed to be the mutant
descendant of a band of criminals who fled justice by hiding in the swamps. Howler has
presumably survived on his own for the greater pan of his life. Consequently, he is extremely
bestial, prone to stalking, hiding and attacking from behind. He is extremely lethal in combat,
savagely attacking his foe with the ferocity of a wild bear; always aiming to kill or incapacitate
immediately. Another unusual aspect about the Howler, besides his strength, is that he is unable
to speak; instead, he howls like a wolf (especially when angry or sad) and makes unintelligible
guttural grunts and sounds. Yet even though he cannot seem to comprehend the fundamentals
of human speech, he amazingly understands all languages with absolute clarity.
The Howler is like a savage beast among enemies, rarely sleeping, always alert, and
nervous and constantly pacing. He is controlled only by Vague who he is completely loyal too. So
loyal is he that he would sacrifice his life to save hers without the slightest hesitation. Hellcat
also has some influence over him but to a much lesser degree. Generally fearless, Howler has a
phobic terror of fire.

SPEED DEMON

The Speed Demon is a frustrated scientist who’s had one bad break after another. His finest
moment came after an experiment went awry exploding and altering his physical structure. Now
he can run at the speed of sound, coupled with incredible physical endurance. At last, he had the
leverage to do what he’d always been denied. Now he was somebody. Someone with power.
Someone who could extract his revenge on those who had always held him back. Speed Demon
is an abrasive, unlikable person; bitter, aggressive and hostile. He has no respect for others or
their goals or ideals. Rather he sees most people as his enemies and himself as the eternal
martyr. He’s so self-obsessed and filled with anger that he lashes out at everyone, especially the
scientific world. Despite his contempt for humanity, Speed Demon works well with his fellow
Dominators and is completely loyal to them all.

VAGUE

Vague is the leader of the criminal organization know as the Dominators. Physically she is very
frail as well as handicapped by birth defects that have left her blind and mute. Born without
eyes, nose, and mouth; she underwent many operations that would provide her with a slit-like
mouth and small pinhole nose that would be the focus of endless jokes, jeers and horror from
her peers. Vague’s tormented childhood has clearly scarred her, molding her into the vengeful
force of evil that she’s become. To hide her disfigurement and blindness she wears a featureless
mask. In spite of her disabilities, she gets along so well that few ever suspect that she suffers
from any handicap at all. This, of course, is the result of her clever mind and psionic abilities.
Psychic abilities that are particularly important are mental speech, telepathy, presence sense and
her sixth sense. Sensory link allows her to view the world through the perceptions of others.
Telepathy and presence sense alert her to the presence and actions of nearby individuals.
A quick telepathic probe reveals that person’s thoughts so that she knows his/her emotions
enabling her to react accordingly. The sixth sense alerts Vague to any immediate danger.
Perhaps her greatest psionic ability is that of precognition which provides her with insight of
future events. Forever emotionally mangled, her goal is to make people suffer and deprive the
people of the world of their possessions and happiness as they’ve deprived her. Vague suffers
from deep-rooted hatred, dominates all around her by invoking fear and pain; is sadistic, fiercely
aggressive and seemingly devoid of compassion. Although she, herself, avoids combat, she
shows her victims no mercy. She has a phobic fear and hatred for children, doctors, and surgery.
Professionally Vague and her Dominators are guns for hire, capable of any job from espionage
and burglary to assassination and terrorism. They also engage in independent criminal activity;
usually various degrees of theft (jewelry, industrial secrets, the whole spectrum of major theft),
and extortion.

VESUVIUS

Vesuvius is an alien life form but he’s a native of the planet Earth. He, like the lava men, is a
member of a previously unknown, subterranean race. Physically he is composed of some kind of
living mineral substance, creating a thick, rock-like skin and flesh. He accidentally gained access
to the surface when a volcano in Iceland erupted. His existence was discovered in one of Vague's
precog visions and was immediately recruited by the Dominators. Surprised by the existence of
intelligent surface creatures, Vesuvius {a name given to him by the Dominators) has decIded to
enlist these unusual creatures to aid his people in their centuries old conflict with the lava men.
Vague has promised the aid of the Dominators as well as allegedly helping him collect additional
super powered allies. In reality, this is a cheap ploy to keep Vesuvius pacified and aid the
Dominator’s in their own goals. Although a pawn of Vague and loyal to his people, Vesuvius is
not a good person. He is extremely egocentric, cruel, and domineering. He is the master of his
fate; a fate he believes will lead to his iron-fisted rule over his own people if aided by his surface
allies!

Real Name: Tirr-el
Occupation: Warrior
Alignment: Aberrant
Power Category: Alien (Mineraloid)
Experience Level: 4th
Hit Points: 37 S.D.C.: 320/+50 with aura. Armor Rating: A.R.: 14
P.P.E.: 6
Appearance: He resembles a handsomely sculpted metamorphic rock statute. He is
stocky. His rock eyes glow red.
Attributes: I.Q. 10, M.E. 11, M.A. 12, P.S. 23 (supernatural)/33 lifting or carrying off the
earth, P.P. 15, P.E. 18, Spd. 8, P.B. 12.
Age: 22 (Race lives for about 300 years), Sex: Male, Height: 8 foot (2.43
m), Weight: 430 lbs (193.5 kg).
Originating Alien Environment: Thermo World (Beneath the Earth’s Surface)
Major Super Ability: Alter Physical Structure: Fire
Minor Super Abilities: Earth Empowerment and Supervision: Nightvision.
Natural Abilities: Impervious to fire, heat, and plasma. Kinetic energy and impact weapons
(bullets, projectiles, physical attacks, falls, thrown weapons, and explosives) only do half damage
if they can by-pass their A.R. Electricity, ion beams, and lasers also inflict half damage. He is
impervious to radiation and organic attacks (toxins, disease, poisons, chemicals, drugs, etc), nor
does he need to breath or eat (survive on thermal energy). Bio-regenerate 2D6 S.D.C/hit points
per 24 hours. He can go into a healing trance that doubles the heal rate each day. Sense the
presence, general direction, and distance of a heat source as small as a campfire within a 40-
mile diameter (64 km), a forest fire or lava pool can be sensed as far away as 100 miles (160
km). He is considered a supernatural being.
Vulnerability: Vesuvius like the Lava Men can convert heat energy internally. This energy
conversion is a continually process (do not have to be conscious to do so). Vesuvius needs to be

Time for a few heroes.

THE WANDERER

The Wanderer is a refuge from a distant planet; his own planet destroyed in a natural upheaval.
His world destroyed, he is presumably the last of his race. He has at least temporarily, adopted
Earth as his home. As an anthropologist, the Wanderer spends most of his time studying Earth’s
history, technology, and societies. Although he is not a “super hero, he will help defend any
human he encounters. He is a competent combatant but a gentle compassionate individual who
loathes war. The Wanderer would much rather spend his time exploring the wonders of life and
the beautiful creations of sentient beings such as music and art (he's fanatical lover of Earth’s
Morzart).

And now a few villains

THE GRAPPLER

Sandra Kemp, code name The Grappler, was an agent for U.S. S.C.R.E.T. Her apparent loyalty
and skill as a top espionage operative made her a logical choice for the agency’s power
armor/robotics division. Agent Kemp was one of three operatives assigned to test the
effectiveness of a new prototype exo-skeleton in the field made by the KLS Corporation. After six
months of extensive use, marked with a 89% success factor, Agent Kemp subdued one of her
fellow robot operators (he was unsuited) and stole both his and her exo-skeleton. Both suits are
identical; presumably) the second suit was taken as a spare or to sell on the black market
(actually it's being kept as a spare). Sandra Kemp has avoided a discreet manhunt while building
quite a reputation as a thief of U.S. military and industrial secrets, especially S.C.R.E.T. tech. The
suit’s size and the masculine appearance works to Sandra’s advantage. Only a handful of U.S.
S.C.R.E.T. and G.I.G.M.A. agents, know she is a woman; this makes her secret identity
extremely secure. Yet in and out of the exo-skeleton, Agent Kemp is a capable, highly skilled
professional. Only fools and dead men have underestimated her because she’s a woman.

The Grappler is emotionally stable, clever and professional. She rarely acts in hate or anger; she
does not suffer from delusions of grandeur or dreams of world domination. The Grappler is an
espionage specialist who uses her training and a stolen robot suit to secure enough wealth to
retire in a style befitting her expensive tastes. Grappler can enter a conflict without trying to
killing her opponents, not that she refuses to kill, in fact she’s killed many in the line of duty or
for pay, (although she rarely accepts assassination contracts).

Real Name: Sandra Kemp
Occupation: Former S.C.R.E.T. Agent, now Freelance Mercenary and Industrial Thief.
Alignment: Miscreant
Power Category: Robot (Exoskeleton/Robot Pilot)
Experience Level: 6th

INHERITOR

The Inheritor is a young, tough rogue who’s decided to take what he wants. He’s an ambitious,
cunning, high roller willing to gamble against the odds. Some believe he has a death wish, others
feel he’s simply a psychopath. In truth, he’s neither. Inheritor has always exhibited a fearless
daring, even as a child he’d accept any challenge regardless of the danger. Indeed, he craves
danger for it is danger that gives his life enjoyment, the thrill of beating death. By the age of
fifteen he had dropped out of school, ran away from his middle-class home and was earning his
keep as an assistant auto mechanic and dirt-bike racer for a second rate racer, and a small time
drug dealer, Samual T. Lebbon. By eighteen Inheritor had graduated to stunt driver, racer and
inheritor (no pun intended) of Mr. Lebbon’s drug operation (it seems he had a most unfortunate
“accident”). Unfortunately, the thrills of fast cars faded and the Inheritor, costumed villain, was
born.

Inheritor has only begun his criminal career but has already gained a reputation for his daring,
boldness and cruelty. His crimes range from knocking over liquor stores in broad day light) to
extortion, kidnapping, burglary, and murder. Although currently working as a lone wolf, he is ripe
for recruitment as a member of a partnership, group or organization especially if it teams him
with other super villains whose powers he can mimic. He’d find the challenge of confronting other
super beings and the allure of notoriety, power and wealth irresistible. Likewise, he will not turn
down any opportunity to tackle an extremely difficult contract if the job is eliciting enough.
Inheritor thrives on conflict, going out of his way to challenge any superhero (unless he’s
operating with a group). If captured and brought to justice, the Inheritor will convincingly
pretend to turn over a new leaf while secretly causing mayhem or waiting for the right time to
make his move, whether it be escape or attack.

MAN HUNTER

The woman, Man Hunter, is a princess of a small, technologically deprived island kingdom
off the coast of Africa. Only small bits of technology, such as electric typewriters, computer
technology from 1990s, classic cars 1950s and 1960s, and some fundamental industrial
equipment and operations are available to this tiny, third world nation. Generally, the island is
overcrowded, its people poor, hungry and unskilled. The government and society is dominated by
strict male rule placing women in a clearly subservient role as less than second-class citizens are.
Princess Michabi is a militant advocate for women’s liberation which has created quite a stir
in the island’s political arena from time to time. She is outspoken, articulate, bold and
aggressive, traits the men of the island do not respect in a woman. Physically she is a world class
athlete, superior to most men in both skill and natural aptitude. Emotionally she has
overcompensated for the masculine oppression by becoming equally aggressive, uncompromising
and ruthless. She is clever, young, open to new ideas and a natural head for business which
gives her an edge over most of her male competition. Unfortunately, she has become
irreversibly prejudicial toward all men believing them to be inferior to women. A belief she often
enjoys demonstrating by humiliating and degrading men whenever possible.
Someday soon, she will become the island’s ruler, after the death of her father (the King) in
a suspicious hunting accident. At this point, her megalomaniac tendencies will be given wings,
fueled by her bitter anger, lust for revenge and fanatical ambition.
Man Hunter, favorite sport is physical contests against men. She travels the world to
arrange a life and death contest against men she wishes to prove her superiority too.

NIGHTSHADE

Nightshade was a C.I.A. operative belonging to the MTF (see Mutant Underground for additional
details) assigned to locate, study, and apprehend assigned targets. However, during his last
assignment he encountered the villainous Inheritor who caught him off guard, turning his own
powers against him. Although he survived the “Death Touch”, the shock to his system has
affected his memory. Nightshade has no recollections of his of his past or purpose. He is now
wandering and patrolling the streets (perhaps Century Station?) and he doesn’t know why.
For food, he breaks into restaurants at night or steals out of people homes or apartments.
Living on the streets has given him an excellent understanding of the city layout and its nightlife.
Simple therapy with a qualified psychotherapist (or psychologist) will bring back his memories at
which he will seek revenge against the Inheritor. Even with his memories back, he personality
will not change. He is a selfish, unsatisfied person, who could be persuaded to work for a criminal
mastermind, betray his companions (even if they were helping him), or join an evil organization.
Officially, the CIA has him listed as missing in action for the past three months.

Wow over 200,000 posts! As always I appreciate everyone who comes here looking at the vast
collection of super heroes and villains I've done over the years. Thirty years of being a writer of
superheroes and villains this year, and I'm happy to announce while me HU have been at odds for a
while, the relationship now has been reinvigorated as of late. Well enough mushy stuff on with
more villains from the Justice Machine sourcebook.

THE PROPHET

The Prophet is an extremely cunning individual. He’s an extremely good planner with a head for
details and tactics, supplemented by his psionic abilities of speed-reading and total recall. He’s
the ideal criminal mastermind, a capable strategist, tricky, and a charismatic leader. Although
ruthless and cold, he has not yet added murder to his list of accomplishments. His crimes include
theft, burglary, and extortion. He seems to have a particular attraction to precious gems and
exotic items. Unlike most of the villains, the Prophet prefers a low-key existence avoiding
dangerous confrontations whenever possible. This is in part due to his lack of physical skills and
his cunning to work behind the scene to avoid capture. His usual mode of operation is to collect a
team of criminals, often specialists in a particular area, and mold them into a well-oiled force to
accomplish a specific task. So far, he has never used the same people more than once. An
impressive list of successful mission (none of which implicated him in the least), has prompted
him to consider establishing a crack team of super villains to expand his operations. The
Stalker
, Inheritor and possibly the Grappler are likely candidates (along with
others from Villains Unlimited, Mutant Underground, Century Station, G.M. Guide, or this post).
While the Prophet may be psionic, he possesses no clairvoyant or precognition abilities, which
makes his name more symbolic than reflective of his abilities. Although physically inferior to
most heroes or villains, his psi-powers are extremely dangerous; powers that he has learned to
wield with deadly precision. By means of his bio-manipulation powers, the Prophet can
incapacitate even the most powerful opponent without lifting his little finger.

THE STALKER

David Longtree, alias The Stalker, is a Native American of Navaho heritage. Recruited and trained
by operatives in the country of Malvador (home of Emperor Danilek) he quickly established
himself as a top security enforcer. The Stalker’s abilities to prowl, track and climb made him a
deadly adversary to anyone the Emperor paid him to eliminate. Problems arose as the Stalker
began to brag and let it be known who his employer was. Emperor Danilek let him how much he
was tired of him babbling to the wrong people when he sent the Usurper to explain it to him.
Stalker’s superior training and physical endurance is the only that saved him. After a few days in
the hospital, he awoke from his coma unable to remember anything about his time in the country
of Malvador. After a while, Stalker left the hospital still missing a chunk of his memory. Stalker
took a job as a security enforcer for a major firm in the city of Ultropolis. After a while, some of
Stalker’s memory started to return to him. With more of his memory restore Stalker decided to
walk the streets, a bitter, spiteful person, burglarizing those living in high society. Any
opportunity to gain wealth, personal glory, and glorify his own personal well being, he takes it.

DOCTOR VARGOS

Doctor Vargos was the assistant to Doctor Lester K Standford, a mad scientist obsessed
with creating the perfect life form because he believes the human race as a species is flawed. In
addition to his work with “Doctor K”, he’d been developing a chemical that would control
aggression in humans. He hoped to achieve this by altering the human chemistry, certain
hormones, etc., chemically to produce a much more sedate, calm individual without dulling the
senses as most current tranquilizers and mood depressants do. His initial experiments with
animals were an overwhelming success; however, the same process seemed an utter failure with
human subjects. The experiments seemed to intensify the aggression, anger and hostility of
humans rather than calm and negate such hostility. When it was learned that Doctor K had
performed human experiments on homeless people, the project was canceled. Doctor K escaped.
Meanwhile Doctor Vargos continued to develop his serum on his own. At long last, he was sure he
had the proper elements for success but couldn’t get the facilities, money or volunteers for
testing the radically new formula. Frustrated by the lack of support and confident of the Formula’s
effects, he decided to test it on himself. The results were startling. Not only did the formula alter
his emotional state but it also caused an instant, dramatic physical transformation as well. Vargos
found himself transformed like “Doctor Jeckle and Mr. Hyde”, a small, physically unimpressive
man into a hairy, muscular giant rippling with power and primal aggression. The formula
amplified the submerged anger and frustration the introverted doctor had fearfully kept
submerged inside all his life. Now with his new, powerful body (and stimulated hostility) he no
longer had to play the submissive little man. He was now the new Doctor Vargos who would show
his colleagues that he was not helpless anymore. He was a pawn to be used and abused then
discarded. Vargos doesn’t resent Doctor K, but he does hate the scientific community who
manipulated him, thwarted his research, stole his ideas and treated him with contempt. They will
all pay. He will extract his vengeance by sabotaging projects, terrorizing people by stalking and
chasing people and then disappearing after leaving a trail of destruction. He will vandalize labs
and private residences, physical beatings, terrorizing by stalking and chasing people and then
disappearing after leaving a trail of destruction. He will also discredit fellow scientists by framing
them for crimes and indiscretions they didn’t commit. Finally, he plans to murder some of his
most hated personal foes.
Authorities such as police, superheroes, robots, or anyone who opposes him will be dealt
with quickly as an enemy or fool, although he is NOT likely to kill intentionally such people.
Doctor Vargos, even in his more primal, vindictive form, he is not a truly evil man just
emotionally twisted and bitter

WARHEAD

One day Bobby Benday was checking out his Uncle Victor’s robotics lab when he saw a four and a
half foot tall robot. He also saw a strange looking dentist chair. Bobby picked up a book and sat in
the chair unaware that he hit a button causing the chair to activate. Bobby’s mind was suddenly
transferred into the body of the robot. Bobby spent the afternoon flying and running around the
city as a robot boy. When he returned he found his body missing only to learn his parents came
home and took his body to the hospital. Listening in he went in search of his Uncle Victor. He
found his uncle working for a bunch of Nazis (Brotherhood of Armageddon) planning on taking
over the world. Bobby uses the robot to defeat the Nazis and demand his uncle put his mind back
in his real body. When they get back to the hospital, they see that his real body has died and his
parents in mourning. His uncle tries to convince him that he must never tell anyone but Bobby
wants to be with his family. When he goes into the hospital, he is confronted by security
personnel who try to stop him. Bobby’s parents flee from the “killer robot” and go into hiding.
When Bobby goes back to the lab, his Uncle Victor has disappeared. Bobby mind is now
permanently trapped in the robot body.
The transformation would be difficult thing for an adult to deal with; the effect on the young
adolescent has been doubly traumatic. The robot earned the name “Warhead” in the media
because of his temper and appearance. Bobby is extremely hot tempered and prone to violence
temper tantrums. Each passing day he grows more bitter, hostile, and unmanageable. He has
severely injured police officers and damaged a school bus when kids on the bus he thought we’re
making fun of him. As of now, Warhead is on the run, being hunted by U.S.S.C.R.E.T., but he is
also wanted by ORION Robotics (Century Station) who wants to examined him and the Dark
Tribunal who are convinced he’s more than a simple robot.

THE DIVINE

The Divine is the name of a secret order of holy, elite warriors devoted to serving the
righteous cause of the Holy Light Church, a religious instruction founded 300 years ago by six
“mystically bestowed priests” to protect the faithful from the forces of supernatural evil. Although
church membership is restrictive and exclusive, there are over 200 members from all across the
world. The church believes it has a sacred duty to prepare the world against the encroachment of
unholy evil. For centuries, the church operated in secret. No mention of it was every made public,
and those who did know anything always seem to “forget” about it later on. Since WW 2 however
many priest and sisters (nuns) of the Holy Light decided the modern world needed to know that
divine forces of goodness were on their side, that champions of the light were ready to stand
against the darkness. Needless to say, most people though the church was a fake religion,
existing for no purpose other than to satirize, parody, or mock real religious institutions. For
decades, politicians and religious leaders denounced them as crackpots. However a few years ago
after a supernatural being called the “Devil’s Knight” tried to kidnapped a U.S. Senator daughter;
some people in the U.S. government began to take the Holy Light Church seriously. Today the
Holy Light Church receives funding from twenty nations (half of them European), several wealthy
independent tycoons, and religious institutions (who wish to remain anonymous) to carry on their
fight to keep humanity safe.

Nobody knows who is in charge of the Church, yet he seems to be omnipresent. The priests
and sisters report to him (thorough intermediaries) and he releases information to them only on a
need-to-know basis. Not every member of the Holy Light Church is a super being (less than 5%)
yet the man in charge seems to know all their real names, powers, place of birth, secret origin,
etc. Some members of the Divine have been referring to him as “Lord High”.
Scattered about the world are temples of the Holy Light, each one run by a priest and a
sister. Before the Divine, it was the priest and the sister who performed exorcisms, investigated
supernatural claims, and fought with the supernatural evil (some time rather unsuccessfully).
Now that role is being filled by the Divine while the priest and the nun acts as liaisons, advisors,
and intermediaries between the Divine and Lord High and those who sponsor the church. Father
Enoch Light and Sister Astra are the priest and sister that the Divine meet with most often while
working in the United States.

The Divine was formed after Father Raphael, a mutant priest operative came across a
magical book that bestowed vast mystical power upon him and transformed him into mystical
bestowed hero. The book also “charged” him with a mission to seek out evil and destroy it.
Inspiration also sent him on a quest to find “heroes of divinity” that would assist him in his task.
Today the “Great Holy Book” is under the private care of Father Enoch and Sister Astra in an old
abandoned nunnery in near Gulf Coast City called Toborh Abby. The nunnery lies beside a ley line
but nearly all of it is protected by various Magical Alarms, Protection Circles, Circles of
Concealment, and Sanctum spells. Recently the Holy Light Church has become aware of events
taking place in Armageddon Unlimited, as a result the Divine is very much active in the fight, but
not fully aware of all the details.

FATHER RAPHAEL

Raphael Kotz was eight years old in the backseat of his parents’ car coming back from a
movie about a “vampire hunter” when something struck their vehicle and sent it crashing into
several trees. When Raphael recovered in the back seat, his father was dead in the driver’s seat
but his mother was in the middle of the road being held by a tall, dark, pale green skin colored
man who looked to be biting her neck. The vampire threw his mother aside and raced across the
street, grabbed the car door and ripped it off. He lunged for Raphael but the moment Raphael
touched him, the vampire screamed in agony. The boy’s very touch burned him like holy water.
He threw Raphael aside and fled. After the police and ambulance arrive and Raphael told his
story, everyone assumed someone tried to take advantage of the situation and pulled his mother
from the wreckage only to assault her. Raphael was insistent it was a vampire. Afterward Raphael
bounced around various foster homes, never quite fitting in and still emotionally traumatized.
Finally, he arrived at an orphanage sponsored by the Holy Light Church. There he met a priest
named Enoch Light who took him under his wing. When Raphael was thirteen years old, he tried
sneaking out of the orphanage when he heard a commotion. He went to investigate and saw a
bloody Father Enoch being bandaged by a nun. Something made him approach the priest. The
moment he touched him his wounds miraculously healed. Father Enoch and Sister Astra decided
then and there and that the story of Raphael was true. They took him to a secret lair beneath the
church where they revealed the true purpose of the Holy Light Church; they hunted down and
eliminated supernatural terrors. The orphans were all children whose parents had been killed by
something supernatural. Yet the other kids never talked about it accept to the priest and some of
the sisters. But Raphael displayed power that showed he could not only hurt the supernatural but
heal as well (mutant with Disintegrate, Healing Power, and Abnormal Energy Sense). With the
church’s permission, Raphael was allowed to go to Holy Light Temple to train to be a Warrior
Priest of the Holy Light.

At the age of 21, Raphael became an ordained priest. He immediately set out upon his task,
traveling across the globe hunting down creditable evidence of supernatural terrors, but sparing
creatures of magic or aliens whenever they were encounters. Father Raphael killed werewolves,
demons, vampires, mummies, zombies, ghosts, etc. He even found himself battling evil wizards
and magic orders (Society of the Mystic Font, Order of the Cobra, and the Bossu). During one
such encounter, the evil mage alleged to have in his possession a magical book with the names of
legendary heroes in its pages. According to his research, the book was a magical source of great
power in the name of good, and the force of darkness, chaos, and evil wanted it destroyed or
locked away. After surviving numerous pitfalls, Father Raphael eventually located the book in the
wizard’s stronghold. The moment he touched the book, he began to hear voices whispering bits
and pieces of information. Suddenly, an angelic being appeared before him asking him if he
valued justice and freedom, did he believe in the power of ideas and the sanctity of life. He was
asked would he embrace the virtues of compassion, tolerance, and goodness. Finally, he was
asked would he speak out against inhumanity, take a stand against tyranny, and fight on behalf
of those unable to fight for themselves. On his knees, Father Raphael swore that he would. At
that moment, power charged through him, reinventing him from a “simple mutant” into a
mystically bestowed champion of benevolence and order.

Father Raphael took the mystical book to the Holy Light Church and informed them he’d
been tasked to remove the threat of supernatural evil throughout the world, but in order to
accomplish the task he would have to recruit several champions to do so. The book he believed
would guide him (or send him insight) on who exactly he was to pick for the process. Father
Enoch agreed and offered him the name of a particular person and the full support (sponsorship)
of the Holy Light Church. When asked what he planned on naming this organization, Father
Raphael simple said, “It will be Divine.”

Today Father Raphael leads the Divine on their various missions to eradicate supernatural
evil from the world, but he doesn’t know exactly where to find the evil. Each week he sleeps with
head head on the Holy Book where during his dream he receives a vision that either sends him on
a heroic quests or sets him on the right path to find what he’s looking for. He also seems to know
which members of the Divine will be able to assist him with his goals. So far, the Holy Book has
never been wrong. While personalities do clash within the Divine, Father Raphael does not
question each team member’s commitment to defeating evil. Each has his own method and
ideology, but the bigger picture is to defeat the evil that intends to rip the world and its people
apart.

Sky Rider

Maryanne Lowe was a farm girl from Oklahoma who always dreamed of doing bigger and
better things with her life. While she had a passion for the animals she took care of on her
parents farm (especially the horses), she wanted to contribute to the world more than simply
being a farm girl. One day a supercell thunderstorm came across the state of Oklahoma, one that
produced 20 tornadoes. The most devastating was a massive F5 that was over a mile in
diameter. It devoured Maryanne’s parents farm and destroyed everything in its path. When her
parents left the storm shelter there was nothing left. As they surveyed the damage, Maryanne
realized her favorite horse Wild Sky was missing. Despite her parents protest she went looking
for him. A few hours later, she came upon his body beside a creek bed over a mile away. As she
approached his broken body, she noted beside him was some sort of handmade Native American
necklace, it was beautiful and it seemed so strange to her to find something like this beside her
dead horse. When she picked up the necklace, the ghostly imagine of a Native American woman
in her early twenties appeared. She told her that she was the goddess of the winds and that she
had chosen Maryanne to be her new champion because her great grandmother was a Cheyenne
Princess, the daughter of a well-respected medicine man of the Cheyenne tribe. The necklace
belonged to her great, grandmother (Ayashe) and now belonged to her. She was being reward
this “legendary fetish” because Maryanne exhibited great understanding, kindness, mercy and
wisdom. She was “blessed by the spirits” to be a healer and protector of all people! All at once,
the spirit of her favorite horse appeared beside her. She was told the fetish would summon his
spirit whenever she needed him. The spirit woman then disappeared. Maryanne put on the
necklace and at once found herself charged with magical power.

With her parents home destroyed and her old life gone forever, Maryanne set out on an
epic quest to do as she was told, to be a champion of the people. At first she wandered the state
of Oklahoma looking for injustices or opportunities to heal others physically but to bring them
happiness and joy. She soon found herself confronting the minions of a dark great spirit/god, a
being that wants to control all life here on Earth. In time, her battles with the force of evil
attracted the attention of the Divine. While Maryanne regularly participates with the Divine
whenever they need her, she feels she is not committing to the wants of the goddess of the
winds and continually questions her own worthiness. These thoughts however Maryanne has only
recently learned are being projected into her mind by the dark great spirit/god. At some point,
she will have to confront him and stop his evil from infecting the world.

Perfect 8

When Quintin was just learning to spell and write, his religious obsessive mother would
force to write perfectly, he would spend hours upon hours writing the same words over, and
over. The worst thing he would have to write is the number 8. It had to be perfect. The slightest
flaw and his mother would throw away the paper and make him start over again. When Quintin
went to school in the 1st grade he was taking forever to get anything done because he had to
write it perfectly. When the teacher urged to see his mother and realized how crazy obsessive
she was, she contacted social services. She took Quintin and fled the area in their car. She drove
like a crazy person trying to avoid the police. Finally, she lost control and crashed. She was killed
while Quintin escaped completely unharmed. With no father or family to speak of, Quintin was
taken to a Catholic run orphanage. There he met another obsessive teacher who demanded
perfection. By the time Quintin was in high school, his desire to seek perfection became
irresistible force (which is why no one wanted him as a child) and made it impossible for him to
get along with others. He however was an amazing gymnastics and begin to win all sorts of
completions for his school. When he graduated, he went to a monastery to become a monk.
There he immersed himself in what he believed to be his calling, total perfection of the mind,
body and soul. Even among his fellow religious brothers, Quintin was viewed as strange. His
desire to seek perfection seemed to have an almost noticeable effect on others. Finally one
brother could no longer tolerate his eccentric behavior, already mentally disturbed he crumbled
Quintin’s paper he’d been rewriting on for over six hours (a dinner menu) and began yelling at
him (breaking a vow of silence). He withdrew a knife and tried to stab him, but Quintin
amazingly avoided the stabs with incredible dexterity. When other brother subdued the deranged
monk, Quintin realized he had another calling in life. The following day he left the monastery.

Within a few hours he walked into a convince store to purchase some coffee. An armed
man came and tried to hold the place up. Quintin tried to reason with the man. He aimed his gun
at Quintin and fired, he easily avoided the bullets. With a quick swipe of his hand, he disarmed
his opponent just as the cops came and arrested him. He was seen on television as a local hero
and a newspaper article was printed about him. A few days later as Quintin was walking the
street, the mad monk came at him. Quintin easily dodged and parried his attacks, all the while
trying to convince the former monk to surrender. He eventually wore out the mad monk just as
the police arrived. They took him about yelling obscenities and vowing revenge.

The next day Quintin was approach by members of the Divine asking him to join their
cause. This he realized had to be divine providence, all his life he was guided to this one
moment. When asked his name instead of replying with his name, he responded with what he
most wanted out of the world, a Perfect 8.

Quintin abhors violence and does spend each day trying to persuade his companions that
there must be other ways to stop evil in this world than fighting it. When he is not helping his
companions, Quintin is out in the community doing all kinds of volunteer work (homeless shelter,
food pantry, pitching in to help anyway he can, mending a person’s fence, etc) or simply
cheering people up with prayer, stories, song, music and dances. Instead of fighting a
confrontation, Quintin will engage in preaching about the Divine and beliefs, philosophical
discussion, give a sermon, offer advice, and speak out on issues of religious and moral
significance. He is still being stalked by the mad monk who has turned to supernatural forces of
evil, with one goal in mine, to kill Quintin and destroy his desire to see a perfect and peaceful
world.

not fight or try to hurt anyone deliberately. He is adamant against fighting for any reason. If
confronted he will dodge, parry, and try to otherwise incapacitate a foe, all the while delivering a
speech against fighting and cruelty. While he does not engage in fighting and tries to convince
his fellow Divine members not to engage in violence, he does not try to stop them from
committing violence unless he thinks they will take it too far (very rarely).
Insanity: Quintin suffers from a subtype of OCD that compels him to handwrite everything
and make sure he writes all his letters/numbers perfectly. All the letters must be straight,
symmetrical, and flawless. If he makes a single mistake, he must destroy the bad paper and
start again until “it’s just right” no matter how many times he has to write it. If he is handed
anything written, he will immediately check for spell errors, grammar, punctuation, etc. He will
use one of three colored pens to make corrections. He does not correct people as they talk or
edit anything he read on a monitor/screen. His obsession only involves written material on paper.
In other words he has no problem texting and using abbreviations and such, but he can only
compose perfect sentences if he has to read/write them on paper.
Major Super Ability: Karmic Power. Note: Quintin does not include “karmic” bonuses to his
own,. He only receives them when the G.M. decides to reward him because if he has done
“something” good/positive or is attempting to do something beneficial to help others (not

Gorilla Chief

Doctor Nicholas Morgan became convinced the only way to save the Gorilla population in
Africa was to hide them in plain sight, to make them look and appear human. He went to
Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve in secret and began to do numerous experiments on several
gorillas. One particular male western gorilla caught his attention, he seem to laugh at things that
only a human would find funny. After he captured the gorilla, he before what he thought would
be his triumph experiment and managed to transform the gorilla into a fully looking human.
When the gorilla awoke, it started behaving like gorilla even though it looked like a man. Morgan
was knocked unconscious while Kuseka escaped into the wild. Over several weeks, the people of
the village of Bayanga start talking about a “wild man” running around in the wilderness living
with the gorillas. Eventually some park rangers and cryptozoologists decide to captured him.
When they do, they are astonished to see the wild man wears a nametag collar. When he wild
man is taken back to a lab to be studied it’s determined that although he looks human, his DNA
says he’s a gorilla. One scientist Grace Blacke decides to take him to the United States to study
him. Over the next three years, Grace works closely with Kuseka. Though he was a male gorilla
trapped in a male human body his mind begins to change, he takes on more human like
behaviors and mannerisms. It’s not long before he began to speak English and with that she’s
able to teach him how to read and write. Two years laters, Kuseka is mentally stable enough to
fake playing human.

Grace takes him back to Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve and he immediately begins
remembering his former life. While in the park, the Research Center is attacked, looted and
burned by a group of rebels, under the authority of Doctor Nicholas Morgan. Grace and Kuseka
track down the rebels and discover a dozen gorillas undergoing the same experiment done to
Kuseka, with two of them being his mother and sister. When Doctor Morgan sees Kuseka, he
tries to make him obey his commands, but Kuseka resists his orders and demonstrates the
mental ability to control other primates. Kuseka battles with the Doctor and his minions. The
Congolese Army arrives and begins sorting things out, until they run into people acting like wild
animals so they shoot and kill them all. Kuseka tries to stop it only to be struck from behind by
Doctor Morgan. He topples off a tower while Morgan escapes. When Kuseka awakes he’s being
arrested and taken into custody with Grace trying to explain his situation. At an American
embassy, Grace manages to convince the authorities that Kuseka is suffered from being out in
the wild too long and he should be taken back to America to recover. Just when things look
critical for Kuseka, Grace’s employers arrive to solve the problem, BIO-Spawn. Using their money
and influence, they take Kuseka back to the United States.

Kuseka is being studied at a secret BIO-Spawn research facility when it’s attacked by a
heroic group of mutant animals with ties to the Mutant Underground. Kuseka is one of the
imprisoned experiments that manages to get away (namely because of his human appearance).
Kuseka wanders the alleys and the streets trying to figure out how to get in touch with Grace and
how to get back to Africa. Tired and hungry he stumbles into a church and hides in a
confessional. He started awake when a priest begins talking to him. Kuseka spends an hour
talking with the priest who eventually tells the enlightened Kuseka to seek out The Divine. The
gorilla who looks like a man spends several days on a pilgrimage across the United States until
he arrives at Gulf Coast City and enters St. Raphael Holy Church, where he meets the men and
women who serve the Divine. Kuseka was welcomed instantly. Since joining the group, Kuseka
has tried to make contact with Grace but hasn’t been able to find her. He is also very interested
in exposing the criminal enterprise of BIO-Spawn, and no matter how long it takes, he will return
home to Africa and save his “true” people before they die at the hands of humankind. The Divine
asks a lot of him, to sacrifice his own ambitions, but he was “created” for a purpose, for the glory
of Mother Earth to heal the growing sickness caused by her former sacred caregivers (human
being), to put an end to the cruelty inflicted upon wildlife, and restore the world back to the

MISTER SAMURAI

Light of the Midnight Sky is the name of one of the famous Japanese tachi sword created by
legendary Japanese sword smith Amakuni during 8th century CE. Amakuni was able to grant
“Life” and “Will” to any of the swords that he forged granting them a kind of sentience. He did
this to ensure that no one would misuse his strongest swords or if someone were to steal them
from their owner, they wouldn't be able to wield them. Light of the Midnight Sky got it name
because its blade absorbed sunlight throughout the day and at night glowed bright enough to
illuminate the battlefield so the enemy could not hide in darkness. The sword was used by a
soldier who used it to kill those responsible for slaughter of his clan. When the battle was over,
he was appealed by the amount of death and blood soaking the earth. Unable to look at the
instrument that caused all this death, he tossed the sword into the sea. The sword sank deep
into ocean never to be seen again on the shores of Japan.

Several centuries later, Gil Dotson was an accountant whose wife Monica and 19 year old
daughter Rose were followed home by five thugs who invaded their apartment and attacked both
of them. His wife died while Rose remained in a coma. Gil soon became frustrated with the lack
of progress on the case. He was walking along the beach one day wishing he could do something
to avenge his girls. Suddenly a samurai sword washed up on the shore. Gil picked it up
convinced this strange weapon would help him avenge his family. That night he walked about the
city until he heard a strange humming from the sword. As he walks into the alley, he spotted five
thugs. The threaten him but he draws the sword out of its sheath, bathing the alley in light bright
enough to be almost daylight. The five thugs fire their weapons but none of the bullets hit their
mark. Gil uses the sword to dismember the five thugs. Suddenly he looks at himself in a
reflection is appalled at the blood covering him. He goes back to the beach and throws the sword
back into the water, only to have it wash again back at his feet. Gil takes up the sword and
begins to weep vowing he will do what is asked of him, but he will never use it to kill again or
risk becoming a killer. That night Gil Dotson fashioned a costume and began Mister Samurai.

After several year of being a lone hero, he was invited to join the group known as The
Divine. At first, Gil wasn’t sure they followed his same beliefs, but to his surprise, they believed
in pretty much everything he did. Gil has recently met a woman named Erika Lucas and is not
sure to tell the truth about his secret identity. He is also worried the same evil that took his wife
and daughter might come for the new love of his life. Since becoming Mister Samurai, Gil has
tried very hard to adopt the life of a true samurai, learning the martial art and lifestyle as taught
from Ronin Mori (10th level Ancient Weapon Master) long since retired.

Light of the Midnight Sky
Weapon of Order
Tashi (Curved Japanese Sword)

Alignment: Principled (Righteous Indignation)

Powers Bestowed to the Wielder by the Weapon of Order: The wielder of the weapon
gets the following.

*Add 4D6 Hit Points and 1D4x10 S.D.C.
*Wielder is impervious to light/lasers. +4 to save vs possession and Horror Factor. +2 on
Perception Rolls. +2 to attacks per melee round when battling creatures of darkness and night
(those vulnerable to daylight).
*The Minor Super Ability of Energy Expulsion: Sunlight (can be used to inflict sunlight damage to
vampires and other night beasts/terrors): Range: 600 feet (182 m), Damage: 8D6 or 1D4x10+8
(double damage to vampires) or blinding flash. Bonus: +4 aimed/+2 wild shot.
*The Minor Super Ability of Energy Expulsion: Light Explosion (can be used to inflict sun light
damage to vampires and other night beasts): Range: 48 feet (14.6 m), Damage: 1D4 and blinds.
*Solar Powered (Bio-Regenerate 2D4 Hit Points/S.D.C in sunlight, +50% range and damage to
all light powers, and others).
*Curse of the Blood Draw: The sword can be used in battle as long as it is not used to draw life’s
blood (Hit Points). If a sword strike causes anyone to take Hit Point damage (even if just one),
the blade makes the owner fall into a blood lust. He becomes obsessed with fighting, hurting
people, torturing, and killing. Each time the sword strikes, it guides the owner to kill (Deathblows
on unmodified dice rolls of 17-20 doing an additional 1D6+4 points of damage) and keep on
attacking. Each blow that causes Hit Point damage gives him one an additional attack per melee
(maxes out when he reaches double his normal attacks per melee round). It is important to note
that once life blood is drawn, he cannot re-sheath the sword or stop attacking until everything he
sees is dead or he cannot find anything more to kill. If he knows there is a village 100 yards
away but cannot see it, he doesn’t attack the village.

Special Powers of the Light of the Midnight Sky
: The following abilities can be called upon by
the character linked to the weapon.

Weapon Damage: 6D6 points of damage, but inflicts double damage to demons and those
vulnerable to daylight (sunlight).

Weapon Bonuses: +2 to strike and parry. The sword can be used to parry energy blasts
and projectiles but at -3 to parry.

Indestructible: The weapon itself is indestructible.

MOON MAIDEN

The alien known as Mora comes from the planet Vueyama, a Venus size world in the Iltra
Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy just on the far right edges of TMC charter territory. Her world
is a low gravity planet, but her people adapted by developing ability that allowed them to control
and manipulate space, specifically spatial flight and gravity manipulation. Developing these
powers over millions of years turned the Vueyamains into immortal beings. Free from the
confines of their home world, Thora and the vast planetary host left their home world to live
among the stars and travel across the galaxy as explorers. During one of her spatial flights, she
encountered a TMC Medium Interceptor. While attempting to communicate with the pilot, she
was fired upon. She managed to avoid getting destroyed by the weaponry by maneuvering close
to the ship. She used her powers to create a gravity well and fled into it. The ship tried to follow
but the well collapsed and destroyed the ship and all of its crew. Thora made her way from her
own gravity well through one located just inside Jupiter’s orbit. Thora recognized Earth as a place
to hide from the TMC. Shortly after arriving on the surface, she was found by people from Reach
Up, a civilian group of alien watchers. They did their best to hide Thora but she didn’t help
matters by involving herself with numerous incidents. Soon federal agents from both Project
Tyche and U.S. S.C.R.E.T. came snooping around looking for her. As luck would have it, the
Divine got to her first. It was explained to Thora that if she wanted to remain her on Earth away
from TMC she would have to pull her weight. Thus it was Thora became known as Moon Maiden,

tons (136 metric tons) or less. To use this Power Combo, she must make a successful

The Dover Boys are three mutant brothers (triplets) who have always done everything
together. Their wealthy parents Pearl and Chris provided them every opportunity under the sun.
They boys never knew discomfort or hardship. They were also spoiled rotten to the core. They
were constantly looking down on others, poking fun, or intimidating those they saw as lesser
then themselves. Things got worse when the boys turn twelve and started growing stronger and
physically powerful. Before long, they were picking up cars and hurling boulders. To make
matters worse then never believed in fighting fair, it was all three on one. The boys’ parents
hired expensive lawyers to protect them from the law. The boy joined the football and won three
straight championships, simply crushing the competition and becoming the most popular boys in
school. The boys soon found themselves loved by girls and although they return the affection,
they couldn’t stop their brutal ways. The lawyers intervened and so did the fact the boys
revealed just how strong and vicious they could be. When the boys went to Pimento University
on football scholar ships, they again tried to show up. Now they had the issue of hiding their
mutant abilities. The boys tried numerous tactics until they finally made contact with a liaison
for Fabricators Inc. He offered to help them out with the drug tests and other ways to avoid
detection in return for their services. The boys became hired muscle for various jobs (Drop
Teams and Elimination Teams). Soon their reputation began to spread among the super villain
community and among various super teams in the nation. It wouldn’t be revealed until one day
while playing football on the national television stage when U.S. S.C.R.E.T. stopped the game in
an effort to arrest the boys. They tripled teams the agents and escaped. Today the Dover Boys
are still at large, angry at the world whom they blame for taking away their dreams of NFL
careers and being millionaires. Now they work freelance and still do works for Fabricators. It
should also be warned the boys have an eye for feminine beauty and they don’t care to ask
permission. They also believe in sharing and doing everything together. Besides the typical
crimes associated with super villains, the Dover Boys have done ill harm to over twenty women,
including two female S.C.R.E.T Agents and a super heroine Dora Standpipe (aka Fighting Jade).
Should they encounter super heroes in a public place, they will attack using whatever is
available for them to use as improvised weapons (cars, wooden poles, streetlights, etc). They
also use a variety of football tactics. Whenever possible they will double or triple team a single
individual. They refuse to fight fare.

Some old villains I decided to convert to 2nd edition. Enjoy as always.

GAMMA SQUAD

Gamma Squad is the name of the criminal mutant high school students and their villainous
chemistry teacher (Bone Chill) attending Bocatello Technical High School, commonly referred to
as Boc-Tech. The school is an elite Century Station public high school that specializes in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics. Boc-Tech is considered one of the most prestigious
and selective public high schools in the nation. Thirty-thousand 8th and 9th graders take the 3-
hour test for admittance and only 1500 applicants are accepted each year. Boc-Tech counts top
scientist, inventors, innovators, CEOs and founders of Fortune 500 companies, high-ranking
diplomats, scholars in academia, literary and media figures, professional athletes, National Medal
recipients, Nobel laureates, and Olympic medalists among its alumni. The school is 14 stories
high and covers a city block.
The four mutant students all came to the high school as regular students, unaware that
their chemistry teacher Leonard Froid was looking for “volunteers” to help him with his
experiment to help him return to normal. Two years earlier, Leonard Froid was working in his lab,
when he was exposed to an experimental freezing liquid meant to preserve organic material
without destroying the cellular tissue. The liquid gave him incredible healing abilities, immunity to
cold, and cold/ice generating abilities but it also turned his skin, flesh, blood, and organs
transparent, giving him the appearance of a bare skeleton. Slowly going mad, Leonard worked
tirelessly still trying to be one of the foremost chemistry teachers in the country while
simultaneously trying to restore himself to normal. He wears lots of makeup to make him look
normal.
To fund his research, Leonard had no choice but to steal resources for his research to cure
himself. He eventually was hired by a Century Station crime boss who was always harping on him
to do more. Finally, when he thought he had a cured he decided to test it on four of his students
during an experiment. He exposed them all to his freeze chemical but instead of freezing them or
turning their skin transparent, they each mutated becoming something completely different.
Seeing that he had new recruit to help him with his crime operation, Leonard lied and claimed the
chemical “affected” him as well. He swore that someone must have tampered with his materials.
With his new allies, Gamma Squad killed the crime boss and his entire crime family. They took his
wealth for their own villain purposes.
Today Gamma Squad operates as one of the many Super Villain groups of Century Station.
The high school students graduate this year having been super villains since their sophomore
year. Bone Chill still claims one day he’ll cure them, but getting cured has become less of a
motivation for them to stick together. The group now simply enjoys committing super crimes and
terrorizing their fellow students/faculty whenever they can. So far they have escaped capture but
as they grow more bold in their crimes, it likely only a matter of time.

Watching this documentary on PBS made me dig up some 1st edition villains who were originally inspired by the Palladium Robotech Book
Lancers Rockers. Later they band became an evil rock band with sonic alien tech. Then along came the Powers Unlimited Books and they
became the super villain rock band Sound Collection. I'll be posting them soon and their evil manager. Great villains and hope inspire G.M. to
use them for some great adventures.

THE SOUND COLLECTIVE

They are an American rock band and unbeknown to the public a group of super villains who
all have various powers that are sound (and vibration) related. The group consists of Lance Ross
(vocals), Electro (lead guitar), Mack Blake (bass), Davy Jones (keyboard), Percussion (drums),
and backing vocalist, the twins Hamony and Melody. Their style is rooted in hard rock, heavy
metal, and pop rock. They have several gold and platinum albums, and one multi-platinum
album. They’re often referred to as the “Loud Boys from Ultropolis.” If however anyone took a
good look at them, they’d realize wherever Sound Collective plays a live event, that city has a
good chance of being hit with a major super crime.
Sound Collective was created by businessman Michael Thorn who himself use to be a super
villain during his youth. Later he retired and decided he wanted to use his genius and his wealth
to punish the world with music. So using his various contacts with Fabricators Inc and the
criminal underworld of Century Station, he gathered five down on their luck super powered
beings with musical talent. He harnessed their abilities and molded them into a functioning rock
band. He secured them a record deal and a promotional tour. Between their live shows and
airplay on the radio, video, and streaming, their first album reached gold status and went on to
sell three million copies. Meanwhile, Michael Torn use their super abilities to assist him in making
technological breakthroughs, stealing high tech equipment from KLS Corporation, Cyberworks
Network, and Stardustechnologies. They also did some freelance work for Fabricators Inc, for the
Minotaur in Century Station, and the Syndicate Crime Family. Currently, Michael Thorn is busy
building a powerful “sonic hypnotic amplifier” that will use Lance, Melody, and Haromony’s “Power
of Command” on a massive scale (affecting the audience and everyone listening) that will be used
to blackmail a city like Ultropolis or perhaps any of the European capitals unless they pay a huge
ransom. He even dreams of using it against the whole world.
As for the band members, they relish their dual careers as rock stars and super villains
terrorizing the world with sound. On stage, they dress in their flamboyant costumes and their
mutant characteristics (hair, eyes, etc) are thought to be makeup. As super villains, they wear
black & white stripped robber costumes with black masks and dye their hair white or black.
Thus far, no one has caught one, and Michael keeps a close eye on the band, making sure despite
their weeks of touring and fast-paced life that drug, alcohol, and other vices do not affect their
performances on stage on in the field. Each member of the band has unknowingly swallowed a
nanotech device (Bio-Comp Self-Monitoring System) that sends a signal that only Michael can
hear (ultra sonic sound) to keep track of the band members. The band has also been injected
with nanotech devices designed to respond to his voice or electronic audio commands (even
those prerecorded). He merely says the word and the nanotech within their nervous system
sends out an electrical signal that immediately disrupts their nervous systems (similar to the
super psionic power of Bio-Manipulation) with no saving throw possible. The audio signal can also
be sent by military and/or civilian satellites, which means he can target them anywhere on the
planet. There is no place for Sound Collection to hide. The signal is impervious to counter
jamming. The nanotech needs to be replaced every 8D6 weeks (which Michael puts in their food
and drink). The band simply believes Michael has some kind of mental power over them, but they
very rarely give him reason to discipline them. He’s made them rich, famous, and given them a
purpose in life. They will come to his defense if anyone or anything threatens him, especially
David and the girls.
Sound Collective rarely does concerts in Century Station (too much competition and way too
many super heroes that might interfere). Right now, their goal is to finish the “sonic hypnotic
amplifier” and their next album before testing it out on their worldwide tour.
