#21 Swap Meet
Swap Meet is the most unusual of all of the members of the Collection Agency, his store of Collectibles defies usefulness or reason. He will also stop randomly to spout off about fair market value and to argue about price. His weaponry often looks like something out of a pawn shop and he usually wears some kind of bizarre sunglasses.
21 – Wild Bengal by Beausephus
CHARACTER NAME: Â Wild Bengal
DATE OF CREATION: Â 1992 or 1993, the 92-93 era thereabouts…
CONCEPT: Â A master thief builds himself a suit of armor, but then is killed by an assassin hired by his rival. Â The assassin takes the exoskeleton and uses it to enhance his natural skills. Â He takes the name WILD BENGAL and acts as contract assassin with a heart of gold who only takes on targets that fit within his personal moral code.
_________________________
Objectively, dressing in colors in the orange range might not be the best garb for an assassin. Â Nevertheless, the character Wild Bengal went through various permutations and origins before falling strictly into the criminal/anti-hero role.
Since the armor the character wears was developed by a thief for thievery, it is lightweight and absorbs shock/impact/energy. Â The costume is highly flexible, perfect for a trained assassin in either covert activity or hand to hand combat. Â Wild Bengal modified the suit with claws and stylized equipment more in fitting with his name.
Looking at the character now, I like the concept but would take the character in a direction akin to the Pierce Brosnan assassin movie, THE MATADOR, a hired killer reexamining his hallow life and searching for meaning by developing standards and morals…except with more spandex clad super characters and hi-tech espionage.
Thanks for checking out my stuff…

#13 Lip Service
Lip Service :status: hired assassin
Lip Service uses his neovidual ability to project destructive sound vibrations at various levels to carve out a formidable reputation as a hired assassin in criminal circles. Preferring a method of focussed sound waves to vibrate the vital organs of his targets his assignments are often carried out quickly and without warning (save the strange echoing sound that is the by product of using his powers). Without anyone realizing who was responsible he is often successful in his missions and is rarely ever seen. Much like a marksman Lip Service prefers a sniper type method of using his powers in which he is never identified by eye witnesses. Those who employ him appreciate this level of stealth & secrecy. However, when face to face conflicts with neovidual heroes occurs Lip Service reacts with sound blasts emitting from his dual tongued mouth. These sonic blasts can punch holes in tanks is if they were tissue paper. His power originates from the vibrations of his twin tongues. When Lip Service speaks there is a constant , erie , echo type stereo effect to the sound of his voice.

#20 – The Occultist – Sorcerer & Summoner of Demons
Excerpt from Dark Star Rising: Meanwhile, Thornton Oswald III completed his summoning ritual with the King of Netherbeasts. Grimmammon took the form of a great cat of immense size.
“Grimmammon, I invoke your service as in the pacts defined by my ancestors.â€
“Bah, mortal, why should I bother with your family’s ancient pacts? You have been notoriously lax in your relationship to us. Where are the rituals of blood and souls as in the past?â€
“Spare me your pathetic bargaining, hell-beast. Without me and mine, you and yours would have passed into your final existence decades ago. Our world stopped worshipping your kind hundreds of years ago. Look around you. Ask where Lord Arioch and his brethren have gone. Provide your services and enjoy the benefits of our continued relationship.â€
“Show me why you summoned me.â€
“Look, oh Great One. Tell me what you see.â€
Grimmammon looked over the edge of the roof, and his demonic mien grew more stoic. “Our pact ends at the edge of this world, sorcerer. That is an eldritch being from beyond our world.â€
“And evidently frightening enough to remove most of your bluster. Tell me more, Great One. Who or what is that creature?â€
“A Chaos god from before the time of Arioch, from before time as you measure it.â€
“You lie. There were no gods before that time.â€
“Silence, pup. There are secrets even the gods keep. These creatures were imprisoned here in an age before yours. You are not the first masters of the Earth. Did you think you were? Ha.â€
“Imprisoned?â€
“By the First People. They could not destroy them, but they could lock them beneath the Earth, or the Sea, or in Fire. It is said even the very Air imprisons one. I will have no truck with that one, no matter what the price you offer. Its powers likely dwarf mine, the same way mine dwarf yours.â€
Oswald thought about what Grimmammon told him, and realized they were out of their depth. Even if Shango and Kali were here, this was a threat greater than they could manage on their own. Since neither of them were here, it was likely they were working on this menace in their own way. “So we will do what we can until they arrive.â€
“I know you can see the boy in that conflagration. Bring him here; deposit the flames on the creature. Then you can take your leave. We would not want you to be injured before I can make use of you again. You are weakening with age; perhaps I shall call your rival Shunmaburan instead.â€
“As you request, so shall it be. But if you seek to wound my pride, you will find no demon has pride when its survival is at stake. But by all means, if you wish to call Shunmaburan today, and he were not to survive, I would be in your debt. Farewell.â€
The old demon stood at the edge of the roof and the flames rose from the crater in the street. The flames swirled as if they were a fire vortex and flew from the crater to surround the otherworldly invader with the terrible fires. The Kid disappeared from the crater and appeared on the roof next to Oswald. Oswald saw the daemon link the fire to the creature, and realized the fire would only last a few minutes before exhausting its fuel. Once surrounded, the creature stopped moving forward, and this bought them some time.
Grimmammon turned away from the roof’s edge. He looked at the boy and said, “Tough, that little one is. A parting gift.†And with that he nodded and stepped back into the gateway in the floor of the roof.
Oswald was not happy with Grimmammon’s parting words. No good comes from gifts from demons. Looking down at The Kid, he saw the boy’s amazing recuperative powers rebuilding him, and in less than two minutes, he sat up, looking angry.
“Wait. We need to talk. There are things you need to know.â€

#12 Moonclad
Moonclad: status: villain
Extreme strength and resistance to harm and illness is Moonclad’s core neovidual ability. To his foes, his additional ability proves most disconcerting. Moonclad is a type of living breathing miniature moon. Like Moonwill, Moonclad can effect his density at will, but on an opposite scale. Where Moonwill can decrease his mass at will he cannot increase his mass beyond that of the normal state his body would naturally be. Moonclad can increase the density of his body , but cannot decrease it past it’s natural state (while in “moon” form). By focusing the increase of his density in a way that is not fully understood Moonclad possess his own gravitational pull which he uses as a tractor beam. By doing so Moonclad can pull his foes directly into his hands at will before throttling them with his cratered fists.

Born as a low level psychic, Arizona is able to emit a weak pulse of hypnotic suggestion, not even strong enough to make an individual blink. But if there are enough minds near, she can use the “nodes†as mirrors and amplifiers. The more people around her, the stronger her control becomes, until she can control great mobs of people. In a lurch she can switch to controlling insect colonies and flocks of birds, but she prefers the human crowd. She promises her friends she would never use her powers for evil, but they worry.
