DAY 19: THE LIBERATOR III
In the opening of the 27th Century, Earth has cut itself off from its colonies centuries earlier. Those colonies eventually became a confederated united that allied itself with other alien worlds, to form The United Interstellar Conference or UIC. The UIC has maintained peace, commerce, and interplanet diplomacy for over 3 Centuries. But recently actions and conflict with The Thrallian Empire have threatened to shatter that peace. For about a decade and a half, a cold war has existed following a five year war between the UIC and the Thrall. This all changed following a series of attacks by Thrallian forces led by General Kraul on UIC outposts led to an escalation of hostilities again. One of these outposts was headed by first time Commander Lawrence DelRey, who is also a descendant of two former costumed adventurers known as THE LIBERATOR. DelRey had his ancestor’s shield and fragments of one of his old costumes in tow. DelRey was only on his first day on the job, when the station was attacked by Kraul. All but DelRey and former war hero Symane Braxis were killed in the firefight. The two escaped and eventually, through a series of events formed a team of costumed adventurers known as THE GOLUNDAN CORP. DelRey took on the mantle of his ancestors as the third Liberator and became the group’s leader.
DelRey has no special powers but is armed with the previous Liberator’s shield, which is impervious to most known forms of attack. His suit is made from a high impact synthetic which protects him even further. He is also armed with other forms of gadgetry and equipment which allow him to be an effective fighter and commander in his and Golundan Corp’s battle against the peace and security of The UIC.

DAY 18: TITANIUM BLONDE
CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY: Yvette Clare was born just outside of Paris, France in 1938. She spent her early years in occupied France being raised by her grandmother. Her parents were Resistance members who were both killed in 1944. Yvette had a passion for acting and by the age of 16 was cast in her first film. By 1960 she was a rising actress and French cultural item in the cinematic scene, when her life detoured forever. She was one night, abducted, and had her DNA altered along with 4 other individuals and returned to our world. When she awoke the next day, she only had fractal dreamlike memories of the previous night’s events. She treated them as such and went to a location shoot that afternoon. While there she manifested her powers for the first time. She found that she had the ability to turn herself into living metal. She also found a strange psychic draw to the four other abductees.
Through a series of events she found the other members and co-founded a super hero group called THE PHANTOM FIVE. For the next decade and a half she along with her teammates became some of the most beloved and regarded costumed adventurers of the era.
That all came to an end however, with the 1975 incident where Ghor The Ahnilalator invaded our world with a large standing army. He was defeated by Earth’s heroes, villains, metas, and standing armies. But at a high cost, with thousands of military, civilian, and meta deaths, including all but one of The Phantom Five. Titanium Blonde was buried in France at   Père Lachaise Cemetery.

DAY 17:
CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY:Â THE SHADOW MINISTER
Character Biography: The Shadow Minister is cloaked in mystery as the foremost criminal overlord of the United Stellar Conference. Reports of his origins range greatly. Some say that he was of lowly birth who was a mere petty tech and cyber criminal who slowly made his way up the ranks. Others tell of disenfranchised aristocrat who formed his own syndicate after being exiled by a hostile rival family. Some others say that he is some sort of freak cyberspace program that gained sentience and invaded our world. In any case the Shadow Minister is the head of the most powerful organized crime front known as THE BLACK DIAMOND. Members of his organization are branded with a chip, that allows him to monitor any and all of his underlings from any point in known UIC space. If someone crosses him, he simply can eliminate them from light years away. As a matter of fact its this and other high tech uses that has allowed him to never be caught by the authorities. He has never needed a central base of operations. His brain has been highly augmented along with his body with massive amounts of cybernetic and computer implants, that allowed him to operate from any location. He is cold, ruthless, and devoid of any sympathy or compassion. This has enabled his to eliminate his competition and raise an element of fear among his enemies and competitors, and raise him to be the most well known crime lord of the early 26th Century. Recently though, a rebirth of costumed heroes and adventurers have started to put a dent on his reputation, specifically the group known as Golundan Corp and especially The Juryman have stood in his path in many instances. But this has only strengthened his resolve to maintain his iron grip on his Black Diamond Empire!

Paradox became known to our world roughly in the early 1950’s, when he came in contact and conflict with the costumed adventurer group known as The Alliance. He met up again with them and other super beings from the 1950’s through the mid-1970’s. After the Ghor Event of 1975 Paradox disappeared from official record until a few years ago, when he began to resurface in London, New York, and DC. His activities have been muted and somewhat under the radar, but rest assured will become known in the fullness of time…
