COUNT MALOCCHIO

Count Bernino Malocchio is the thirteenth of an infamous line. His predecessors were part of the cutthroat politics of the medieval Italian city-states, and his grandfather was a fascist collaborator and Axis agent, who used the powers of the talisman known as the Evil Eye. The eleventh Count Malocchio met his end in a rockslide in the Alps, but his infamy did not perish with him. Bernino sought out his grandfather’s final resting place, daring the treacherous peaks and valleys of the Alps. There he unearthed the = Evil Eye, and claimed its power for his own. Sacrificing a childhood mentor to seal a blood pact, he unlocked even greater power than previous possessors of the Eye imagined. It was not long thereafter that the twelfth Count Malocchio suffered a fatal “accident” and his son assumed the mantle of leadership.

THE CREEPER

Carl Wessler did janitorial and groundskeeping work at the Botanical Gardens, where scientists from the University were working on a variety of new fertilizers and fast-growth formulas. Carl was not supposed to sample the fruits (and vegetables) of the botanists’ labors, but they looked so good, and what was the harm? It wasn’t long before they discovered what he had been doing. The university was prepared to fire him, and Carl got angry. When he got mad, the plants listened. They grew, spilling out of their beds and creeping along the floor, at Carl’s command! He left the review board bound up in vines and left menial work—and Carl Wessler—behind forever. He was no longer just ordinary Carl, he was ... the Creeper!

GILA-MASTER

Gil Lonescale was always a bit of a snake, but Tom Crow, the medicine man of his tribe, saw potential in him and tried to untwist Gil’s path. When Tom’s other student, the slow-witted Daniel Morningstar, became Saguaro, Gil was consumed with jealousy. He went out into the desert himself, seeking power and the favor of the spirits, and got the bite of an irradiated lizard. The venom and sinister spirits he called upon transformed him into a reptile-man able to spit poison, and he swore the Gila-Master would destroy the “Chosen of the Spirits”!

GRUDGE

Parnell Tarrant wasn’t loved, or even liked, but he was respected, a capable scientist and researcher, but a man who knew how to hold a grudge, and repay every slight. He spent most of his time working in his field of radiation and its effects on cellular mutation, and cataloging the list of people who he’d show up one day. Then the accident: fired up with anger, careless with rage, and exposed to his own radiation bombardment, his cellular makeup transformed. Dr. Tarrant didn’t just hold a grudge, he was Grudge, and he would show them…show them all!

SPEED DEMON

Eduardo Dacascos had wealth, but craved excitement. He became a race driver and nearly lost his life in a fiery crash. A blood transfusion saved his life, or perhaps it was Eduardo’s delusional “deal with the Devil.” The blood transformed him, able to move so fast the air ignited around him. He burned down the clinic and all records of his survival, allowing the world to believe he was dead when, in fact, he was reborn, as the Speed Demon. He embarked on an ever more daring life of crime: a courier, smuggler, and thief almost impossible to catch, with a roguish truly “Devil-may-care” attitude.

TROLL

Twelve feet of claws, horned, leathery green muscle, Troll was once Carter Cassidy, a hard-bitten mercenary, until one of his employers, a villainous mastermind with plans for conquest, used Cassidy as a subject for his newest “super-soldier” formula. It tapped into the merc’s “killer instinct” but manifested his darkest inner nature on the outside. Cassidy became the monster he truly was. In a rage, he destroyed the lab and escaped. Since then, he has become one of the most in-demand (and expensive) mercenaries in the world. Troll’s Growth is a permanent part of his Strength and Damage Resistance levels, without it there are “merely” Incredible.

ULTRA-MIND

Evolutionary biologist Victor Slan developed methods to rapidly “force” evolution, bypassing millions of years of natural selection. When his project was cancelled, Dr. Slan broke into his lab and used his genetic accelerator on himself, transforming into a hyper-evolved “Ultra-Mind.” The forced evolution atrophied his body and Ultra-Mind developed a life support tank to house his disembodied brain. Ultra-Mind seeks to increase his own power, either through artificial enhancements or by further evolving to what he believes will be his ultimate state: a godlike being of pure mental energy, unshackled from physical existence altogether.

WARBRIDE

For centuries, the Sisterhood has chosen women to be champions of civilization, Brides of Battle, invested with a mystic power that makes them invincible warriors. On occasion, the vessel they have chosen has been wanting, but never before had she been truly mad. Not until Alethea, the Warbride. A survivor of war, raised and strengthened by the Sisterhood, she became the greatest of them, but turned away from their traditions. Invested with their power, she stole it for her own ends. The weak did not need defending: like a disease, they needed to be cut away, and she would be civilization’s razor-sharp scalpel.
