#12 Flame Fatale
Burn Baby Burn
Stumbling upon a long lost ancient temple in the middle east while fleeing a band of terrorists intent on stoning her to death, this rebellious woman found a mystic eternal flame burning on an altar. Drawn to it she reach out and the flame reached to her, enveloped her, and merged with her. She now wields this mystic fire. For a time she seemed to be a hero, fighting against the terrorists oppressing her people and demeaning her fellow women. But slowly she have been corrupted by the arcane spirit of the flame, and now seeks to restore dark gods to our plane of reality.
#11 Flying Fox
She’ll steal your heart, or at least your wallet…
A classy professional jewel thief. She used to date P.D.Q., but left him because he is a jerk. She has no actually powers, but she does have a gliding/flying suit and numerous skills including climbing, breaking and entering, etc.
#10 Gene Genie
Careful, she’ll give you cancer…
A teen runaway turned pickpocket who had been abducted by a band of science terrorists and subjected to bizarre experimentation involving mutagen, reverse engineered alien technology, and non-Terran retroviruses. The experiment failed (or succeeded?) when she became endowed with mutagen powers, able to temporarily realign a targets DNA. This can result from a minor effect like extreme pain to major effects like developing superpowers and/or cancer. Her effects seem to be temporary, but it is possible that prolonged exposure could lead to more permanent damage/empowerment. Escaping her captors she has fallen under the sway of a certain untrustworthy politician…
#9 Stainless Stella
A superhuman mercenary who became bonded with an alien mettle alloy. In greatly increased her already superhuman strength and also made her invulnerable to physical harm. However she desperately wants to get rid of the metal coating as the lack of tactile sensor stimulus (pleasure and pain) is slowly driving her mad. Only one man has offered to help.  If you’ve been following my other posts you know who…
The very source of her power is driving her mad…
#8 Zoraida
An evil spirit in the body of a murdered woman…
Candy Rain wasn’t her real name, but that was the name she had been “dancing” under just 3 hours before she was abducted, and then ritually scarified. She was revived with the spirit of an ages dead evil sorceress inhabiting the body. The enchantments that allow Zoraida purchase in this corpse, and keep the corpse from decaying, also place controls over the powerful undead witch. She is bound to the will of he who summoned her, the same master villain/evil political all my other characters so far work for.
#7 Serpent Lord, King of Snakes
A man possessed by the spirit of the God of Snakes…
Archeologist Dan Cartright was excavating a ruin deep in the Amazon rain forest on an expedition funded through less than savory sources. He found an ancient ring, which looked like a serpent swallowing its own tail. He felt compelled to put it on and was possessed by the spirit of Nagkata, a long lost Serpent God. Dan now fights for his soul with Nagkata, as it is only at night that the serpent lord comes forth, but he finds it impossible to speak of his condition to anyone. Dan retains no memories of his actions when Nagkata is in control. Unbeknown to him Nagkata has agreed to support my recurring evil politician character, who was the source of the funds for Dan’s expedition. Somehow he knew what the dig would find and unleash.
#6 P.D.Q.
“Catch me if you can… oh wait no one can!”— spoken right before his first arrest by a superhero…
Name: Patrick Desmond Quimby
Unlike the previous characters I’ve posted P.D.Q. was not manipulated, lied to, or forced into doing evil, he’s just a thug with powers. In his case super-speed. He can run faster than the speed of sound, run straight up wall, run across water, cause mini tornadoes by running in circles, the usual. He can also swip his arm at super sonic speeds, releasing a focused sonic boom he can direct as a blast of concussive force. He specialized in robbery. He had already been engaged in criminal behavior when the evil politician (and I will be getting to this guy, still working on specifics) came to him in prison to offer him a taste of real power. He jumped at the chance and never looked back.
#5 The Slab
Trying to save his life… he lost his soul…
A geneticist working on cancer research, Dr. Eduard Bradley came down with a particularly aggressive form of skin cancer. Using alien genetic samples taken from Riza provided by government contacts Dr. Bradley tested his new cure on himself. While it did halt the spread of his cancer, his skin thickened and harden. Left unchecked this condition would have resulted in his eventual petrification. The evil politician who provided him with Riza’s DNA comes forth with a serum that keeps his body at least partial mobile, but as he requires regular doses of the serum he now finds himself in virtual slavery, beholden to the mysterious dictates of a truly evil and ambitious man.
#4 Tempus Fugitive
I don’t have much time tonight so no real origin sketch this time. He’s bad, he stole some armor, he is from the future. He works with Black Bow, Riza and The Anomaly…
A man from the future on the run from the law today…
#3 The Anomaly
Living energy, enslaved by man…
When scientists funded by an anonymous politician (yes the same one who controls Black Bow and Riza) discovered a unique radiation wave approaching our solar system they did not expect their scans to draw the energy towards earth. Nonetheless they were able to collect and harness they energy in a an abandoned nuclear research center. Surprisingly the energy proved to be sentient. They were able to rig up a containment suit to allow the cosmic entity to interact with humans easier. Unfortunately the process of capture and containment had altered the being’s energy field, if he attempted to return to the stars he would quickly dissipate. He is now trapped in Earth’s magnetic field, depended on it and his suit for cohesion, and on energy siphoned from the electrical grid for sustenance. This, unfortunately, makes him easy to control.
#2 Riza
An alien teenager, escaped to Earth when he parents were killed for speaking out against the Empire that conquered his homeworld. Lost and afraid, living on the streets the same corrupt politician who took in Richard of Kent takes him in.  Given a holographic image inducer to disguise his alien appearance he now uses his inborn ability to manipulate electrical field to aid his supposed benefactor, unaware of his protector’s evil aims…
An alien orphan, in bad company
#1 Black Bow
Richard of Kent, an archer in the army of King Henry the Fifth of England wandered from the field of Agincourt and came upon a mysterious glowing green fog. He wandered lost in the fog for a time, and when the fog cleared he found himself in the man made canyons of New York City. Specifically he was standing in the middle of Time Square at night. Confused he came under the sway of a corrupt politician with detailed historical knowledge. Richard swears his allegiance to this dark hearted man who seeks to over throw the American system of Democracy and instate himself as a Medieval style King. Richard of Kent is dubbed Black Bow by the media when he is seen pursuing his new master’s evil plans.
2012 Challenger: Joseph Charneskie
I read sci-fi, fantasy, and comics books. I particularly enjoy tales of King Arthur, the Argonauts, super-teams, spaceship crews, etc. Bands of heroes doing mighty deeds (usually while bickering endlessly). I also run an online Marvel RPG so my aim is to use this exercise to flesh out my alternate Marvel U with some more home brew heroes and villains
