This makes it possible for him to regenerate parts of his body rapidly, transform his size, shape, and structure - even into non-biological components. He also has the capability to absorb and project energy of various forms in both small and mass quantities. Finally Apocalypse has a very advanced mind, granting him several forms of telepathic power. He has a vast knowledge of science that goes far behind current human understanding, knowing the details of ancient and celestial technologies.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Apocalypse's blood is also extremely powerful and has the ability to heal mutants and superhumans. His blood has always been fatal to humans - and is the primary ingredient in his newly developed 'Judgement' serum. He has modified his blood with genetic research to the point that a small percentage of humans survive its injection and become transformed into superhumans by developing a new set of powers and abilities that has been laying dormant in their own DNA.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Apocalypse benefits from thousands of years of experience, as he is completely immune to aging. He has survived throughout the history of Earth since it's earliest recorded beginnings - even pre-history. He is widely recognized as the first superhuman/mutant born of this world. That being the case, he has spent centuries learning and utilizing his abilities and has hundreds of years of combat experience. He has also been instructed and self-taught virtually every known form of science - especially those known to man, some even beyond them.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He was also the very first member of SHIELD long before it's modern conception that we know it as today. He was one of the earliest protectors of Earth and over the ages now sees it an ancient friend. He seeks to bring her to a new state of glory and to advance and cultivate it in the same way he is able to adapt and change his own body. His perspective of existence is vastly different from any other living being - thus his plans and motives always appear highly extreme to even the average mutant or superhuman. The average human being fears him beyond measure and labels him as some form of god, alien, or nightmare come to life. <br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Apocalypse's history has stretched throughout the ages. Though he is widely believed to have been born during the strength of the Egyptian empire, some believe he existed long before it ever rose to power. His earliest known history starts there among regular human beings. He eventually encounters other superhumans, as well as alien lifeforms and begins to learn their technology and adapt himself to interface with it. Over the course of his long life he has a wide range of technology he can emulate with his body (as he can transform parts of his body into mechanical and computerized devices, as well as more advanced celestial technology. He eventually learned how to put himself in suspended animation (even though he doesn't age) to sleep until an era when the earth was ready for his return.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He has awakened several times before now, but every time the earth was shocked by his appearance and designs and was not even close to the next age of the earth that he had envisioned (based on his own personal powers and abilities). He has created many global conflicts during those times - many of which have been lost in myth or gone to legend and attributed to some other explanation - as he has purposely seen fit to erase himself from historical records. Each new time that Apocalypse awakens, he tests the earth to see if it is ready for the next step. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Finally, he believes the time is actually right. His previous awakening (during WWII) saw that the Earth was close, but not quite ready to realize the evolution of a new world and a new race of beings. Humans still weren't quite ready... but next time they would be. Now nearly 75 years later he has come again and seeks to fulfill what he believes his his destiny: to push the inhabitants of Earth (and Earth herself) into a new level of existence. To a stage that may even surpass his own ability. <br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://www.cinema.moviemax.it/upload/gallery/from_paris/John_Travolta_in_FROM_PARIS_WITH_LOVE_(2).jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Apocalypse has few physical or mental weaknesses, but the fact that he is so physiologically and psychologically advanced is a weakness in and of itself. En Sabah only understands his version of the future and struggles to comprehend the current state of the Earth's people. Because of this his relations with Allies are extremely strained - to the point of near-slavery. He also comes off as wildly extreme and threatening and has in all of his previous awakenings only garnered hate and resistance to his vision. Although he is extremely powerful, he is still only one man. All of his previous schemes have fallen due to allies turning against him, or being overcome by insurmountable odds. He hopes this time will be different.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Apocalypse is also emotionally stunted - having never experience any in his age-old life that he can truly relate or empathize with. He has never had an outlet for processing his inner thoughts and feelings and thus has developed a very cold, calloused, and bitter personality - making it difficult to find friends and allies that he would ever actually trust. His unstable state of mind causes him to still make rash mistakes despite near-perfect planning and execution of his schemes.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Apocalypse has come yet again as a feared threat and has reignited the world into a state of war that has far outshined any war the world has ever known. Complete cities lie in ruins after his first shocking assault and every global organization that hasn't been decimated has retreated into hiding and is seeking some way to overcome the his unstoppable army and designs. This rag-tag group of humans and superhuman/mutants are known as "the Resistance" and are an extensive underground network of people striving to gain some form of foothold that they can strike back from. Apocalypse is determined to stomp them out and exert his will upon the face of the world and change it completely.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The Earths population has nearly been halved since his arrival (half through warfare and half victims of failed 'Judgement' serums. In order to counter the resistance Apocalypse as named and called upon his force horsemen to hunt down those superhuman/mutants who would dare to resist Earth's glorious fate. His four horsemen are:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Death</strong> - <em>Psylocke</em><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Pestilence</strong> - <em>Plague</em><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Famine</strong> - <em>Black Queen</em><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>War</strong> - <em>Carnage</em><br>This public proclamation has incited a vicious response by these well-known villain's greatest rivals of Deadpool, the X-Men (the few that remain) and Spider-man.</span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://25.media.tumblr.com/c35bead46cb1a3c268cb45d4ba0951f0/tumblr_mhxjmvzBbz1rooo17o1_250.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>WAR</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Max Eisenhardt<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> Magneto, Erik Magnus Lehnsherr <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Battlefield Leader, Terrorist, Horseman of War</span></span><br><br><hr><br><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Magneto is a mutant with the power to manipulate the Earth's electromagnetic fields to achieve a wide range of effects. The primary application of his power is control over magnetism and the manipulation of metal - ferrous and nonferrous. He can affect a very large quantity of metal at one time. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;For example, he has levitated objects as heavy as a 30,000 ton nuclear submarine and has used his power to move large asteroids several times. The maximum amount of mass that he can manipulate at one time is unknown, but his powers extend into the subatomic fields as evidenced during the Secret Wars, when he pulled ambient molecules of metal out of the surrounding atmosphere into a metal comb for Janet Van Dyne. He can manipulate a large number of individual metal objects simultaneously and has assembled complex machinery with his powers. He can also affect non-metallic and non-magnetic objects to a lesser extent and frequently levitates himself and others.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Another way in which Magneto frequently uses his power is the projection of force-fields which selectively block out matter and energy. These fields are strong enough to withstand the detonation of multiple thermonuclear weapons; hence Magneto is invulnerable to most harm when surrounded by his shield and can survive in deep space thanks to it. He can also generate electromagnetic pulses of great strength and generate and manipulate electromagnetic energy down to photons.Magneto has been consistently and frequently depicted as able to resist all but the strongest or most unexpected of telepathic attacks.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In addition to his powers, Magneto has many other skills. He is a genius with competence in various fields of advanced science, especially in genetic manipulation, particle physics, engineering, and other fields of technology. He has engineered advanced weaponry, space stations, superpowered humanoid lifeforms, devices that generate volcanoes and earthquakes, devices that block telepathy, and devices that can nullify all mutant powers except for his own. He has reconstructed computerized devices from memory. He is fluent in many human languages and once single-handedly deciphered the unknown language of a lost civilization. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He possesses extraordinary skill in "reading" the microexpressions on others' faces and sensing what they are thinking and feeling, whether they are lying, fearful, etc. a skill which he refers to as "taking your enemy's measure." He also is a master strategist and tactician with extensive combat experience, and has often been successful in single-handed combat against entire groups of superhuman adversaries. He also has some military training in hand-to-hand combat and has been shown to be effective with his fists, but he prefers to use his powers when in combat situations.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/Punstarr/Magneto.jpg)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; After witnessing the brutal murder of his family by the Nazis, Max Eisenhardt, was sent to the Auschwitz death camp where he served in the Sonderkommando, the squad of Jewish men forced to helped their Nazi masters operate the gas chambers, ovens, and fire pits of the camp. While in Auschwitz, Max met a gypsy girl named Magda. Max and Magda survived the Holocaust, and later were married. They had a daughter, Anya. Max first consciously used his mutant powers when his family was trapped in a burning house. Unable to rescue his daughter from the blaze due to his inexperience, coupled with interference from a hostile mob, he angrily unleashed his powers to vengefully slaughter the humans. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Terrified, Magda left him, and months later discovered that she was pregnant. Magda presumably died after giving birth to mutant twins at Wundagore Mountain. To shake off his pursuers, Max had master forger George Odekirk create the identity of Sinte gypsy “Erik Magnus Lehnsherr.” Max eventually made his way to Israel where he worked as an orderly in a psychiatric hospital near Haifa. He befriended Charles Xavier, with whom he shared lengthy debates, hypothesizing what would happen if humanity were to be faced with a race of super-powered beings. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The pair ultimately revealed their true natures to each other when they prevented Nazi war criminal Baron Wolfgang von Strucker from obtaining a large cache of Nazi gold. Causing a cave-in that seemingly killed Strucker, Max realized that his and Xavier’s views on mutant/human relations were incompatible and left with the gold. Fearing another Holocaust, he took an aggressive and lethal stance against humanity. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Max has often expressed the belief that mutants, whom he calls Homo sapiens superior, will eventually be the dominant life form on the planet, and has wavered between wanting to exist in harmony with humans, wanting a separate homeland for mutants, and wanting to enforce his superiority over all humanity. Calling himself Magneto, Max banded together a group he dubbed the Brotherhood of Mutants, later referred to as “Evil” by the media. Among the assembled members were his children, now the mutants Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Magneto soon found himself opposed by Xavier and his own group, the X-Men; a group which he has had confrontations and battles with numerous times through recent history as each pursue their own goals and agendas. That being said, Magneto is very familiar with every member of the X-Men, as well as their allies and other enemies.<br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Magneto is a very proud and stubborn man who thinks he is doing the right thing even when others stand opposed to him.&nbsp; In the end he wishes for nothing more than for mutants to get the respect he feels they deserve by the humans, forcibly if necessary.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Magneto had a confrontation with Selene in Moscow recently, and was taken by the woman's guile to the end of taking him before Apocalypse himself in Cairo.&nbsp; Try as he may to have bested the millenia old mutant, he was overtaken and injected with Apocalypse's judgement serum.&nbsp; The serum and other special treatments have ensured that Magneto's mind has been subjugated and his power has only increased.&nbsp; He is, for now loyal to his new master... Apocalypse, and will soon serve him as the Horseman War.&nbsp; Somewhere, deep inside the man, a stray thought lingers... a hidden thought that swears that Apocalypse will rue the day that he sought to enslave the Master of Magnetism.</span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://www.glancemagz.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Mila-Kunis-glance.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>PESTILENCE</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Solara Judie<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases</strong>: Plague<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Catalyst, Horseman of Pestilence</span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Solara has the ability to adapt to and overcome any biological virus or disease, and spread them via touch. She can even adapt a non-fatal disease and make it more lethal. Her specific mutant gene that grants those biological powers also has slightly enhanced her speed, strength and durability. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Apocalypse has since augmented her powers and added a cybernetic implant inside her forehead that converts electronic data into brain signals - giving her the ability to interface directly with computers via touch and make similar adaptations and changes to computer coding and signals to create digital viruses of varying degree. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The ancient mutant has also given Solara the ability to corrode and decay materials by touch (like rust, mold, etc). The only material immune to Plague's touch is Adamantium; everything else can become decayed, corroded, and weakened by her touch (which is controlled by will and not everything she touches inadvertently); however once she breaks contact, the corrosion and decay stops immediately and only continues at whatever usual rate it normally would have.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/jotunusmc/pestilence2.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Solara's only equipment is her body - scantly clad by a suit of armor, and a crescent-shaped adamntium blade that she can channel her powers through (corroding enemies weapons on contact, as well as applying diseases when it wounds). Apocalypse has shared some of his technological knowledge with her, but only to the extent that she may better corrupt the world's communications and technology infrastructure with her new technological power augments.<br><br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Plague grew up in New York City as a child. Both of her parents were Morlocks, and it was only natural that she become a member as soon as she was old enough. Solara was one of the earliest members of the Morlocks as her parents were founding members nearly a century ago. She has interacted with several superhumans and mutants over her lifetime, and has been a subtle thorn in their side for decades. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Not overly ambitious, Solara has chosen a discreet and quite life - only occasionally getting into conflicts with superhuman organizations over the years. Although she has never been inherently opposed to regular humans, she has never been able to see her powers as helpful in any way - she heavily considers them a curse and over the years has grown very bitter and calloused because of it. Over the last decade in particular Plague has become increasingly active causing problems and headaches for humans and superhumans alike. Because of the nature of her abilities - it is easy for her to cause an outbreak and be nowhere in the vicinity by the time it is realized. Thus she rarely gets into direct combat, but has done so on a couple of occasions and doesn't shy away from it.<br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Plague is an extremely bitter adversary, calloused over the years of being cursed with a power that does nothing but destroy. She sees little hope in anything but Apocalypse plan and even sees little use for herself after he has accomplished it. Because of this she is very emotionally unstable. She also is very loyal to Apocalypse for his generous gifts and tends to blindly believe in his plans without putting extreme thought into them. She learned over the years of her life not to think to hard about things, since she sees little meaning in her own purpose in life. This outlook makes her susceptible to giving up easily if she is cornered or outnumbered, hence why she prefers to cause her damage and be gone long before the cavalry shows up. <br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;When Apocalypse came, Solara was already old and passed the end of her prime (as she had aged slowly over her 90 years of life). None the less she was almost a century old and wasn't getting any younger. Apocalypse, however, saw her as strong - and not weak - as having a personality and will forged over decades that would make her a powerful ally. He was able to convince Solara that despite her age - now was the time of her destiny. By injecting her with some of his blood, Solara's longevity became renewed and she looked young again, strong, back to her prime. Apocalypse augmented her abilities and inspired her to become the the greatest catalyst of his master plan. Tearing the world apart so that he could rebuild it. Every technology Apocalypse saw as invaluable - every species that no longer played a part, she would destroy them all one corrupted touch at a time.</span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kLLdU2ojdG4/TejUCzwxwsI/AAAAAAAAFV8/37z7SY97q60/s1600/Lucy%2BLawless%2B05.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>FAMINE</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Selene Gallio<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases</strong>: Black Queen<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Assassin, Diplomat, Horseman of Famine</span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Selene is a "psychic vampire" with the ability to sustain herself by psionically draining the life force of other human beings into herself. If she drains a person's entire life force, the victim dies and crumbles to dust in seconds. Through unknown means Selene can also cause a human being to become a psychic vampire like herself, but be subordinate to Selene's own will. <br>By using the absorbed life energies that sustain her, Selene can enhance her physical strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and durability to superhuman levels. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The amount of energy she has retained from her victims does seem to correlate somewhat with her physical strength and resistance to injury. If she's absorbed enough energy, Selene does appear to be immune to most forms of conventional injury; having survived both a knife wound and a crossbow bolt to her heart with no apparent lasting effects (though neither were silver-tipped). While not indestructible, she once survived and recovered completely from molecular discorporation, though it took considerable time to reconstitute herself.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/1/15776/1115241-selene_super.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Selene's most direct weapon is the telekinetic power to animate and/or levitate inorganic matter on a molecular level, by projecting part of her absorbed life force into it. She can affect nearly anything within her line of sight, and can warp and alter the molecules of inanimate matter to her whim, causing objects to wrap around and constrict others, creating lifelike humanoid structures to combat her opponents, or simply reducing objects to dust. She can use this power in more standard ways, such as creating powerful force fields around herself, and can levitate herself and others but cannot truly fly. Selene can also control and manipulate fire in a variety of ways, though she cannot create the fire herself; whether this is a facet of her telekinesis or a separate power is unclear.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;As a Rider of Apocalypse she has been gifted with an ancient celestial weapon of power. The blade is made of almost pure adamantium and has an ancient technological device inside it (similar to super-tiny tesseract) that is constantly producing energy that can be called to the surface of the blade (usually in the form of fire or electricity). Given Selene's ability to manipulate inanimate objects, as well as fire... this shape of this sword can be changed at will, and Selene can draw upon it's fire-source as fuel and flame to manipulate.<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Her name derives from the ancient lunar deity Selene, daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia. Claiming to have already been old when mankind was just emerging, Selene was born 17,000 years ago. Her tribe's elders recognized her for what she was and commanded the entire tribe, including her own mother, to sacrifice their lives to feed her. Selene came to reside in Rome during the height of its empire. She approached Eliphas.(Eli Bard) Selene offered him immortality in exchange for helping her kill and absorb every soul in Rome. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In relatively recent times, Selene was trapped for centuries in the Amazon in the Romanesque town of Nova Roma. She was worshiped as a goddess and worked to maintain the isolation of the town so she could maintain control. Selene directed her worshipers to undertake tasks that eventually allowed her to leave Nova Roma, where Selene made her way to New York City. With help from one of her worshipers, Selene made contact with the Hellfire Club and forced the group to take her on as the new Black Queen. Selene's time with the Hellfire Club was a turbulent time, due to her contempt for Sebastian Shaw and her quite open desire to rule the Hellfire Club as its sole leader. <br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Selene's youthful appearance and vitality depends upon her absorbing the life forces of one or more people on a regular basis. This restores Selene to a youthful and healthy appearance when she has been injured, or when she over-exerts her other powers, and sustains her centuries-long life. A side effect of this process is that Selene remembers the life of anyone she absorbs.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Selene can momentarily move at superhuman speeds of around 175 miles/hour, though this requires a heavy expenditure of energy and can cause her to age rapidly and require more life energy immediately. It is not known how often Selene must drain a human's life force in order to survive. Great expenditure of power causes Selene to age rapidly, but she can rejuvenate herself by absorbing more life force.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Having established her capability of rule over the Hellfire Club in New York, Selene eventually decided to expand the operation, and moved to Moscow, opening another division there where she had complete control. For the longest time it was the most popular and opulent Club around, until Apocalypse made his appearance. Her personal goal of world domination was thwarted. Her Power, so immense normally, was proven to be nothing against the might of Apocalypse. It was either join him or perish. What choice did she have? So it was she took on the mantle of Famine, realizing that siding with the devil was the best for her own selfish means. Hellfire is no longer the hangout for the rich and powerful that sought world dominance, but was now a safe haven for Apocalypse's soldiers, as well being a supply center.</span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/ed/CletusKasadySquare.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>DEATH</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Cletus Kasady<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases</strong>: Carnage<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Terrorist, Destroyer, Horseman of Death</span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Superhuman speed, agility, strength, durability, stamina, and regeneration.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Wall crawling, immunity to disease and “spidey-sense”<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Camouflage<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Constituent matter generation (tendrils &amp; webbing) &amp; manipulation (solid blades &amp; spikes).<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Truly enjoys killing people<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://iphonewallpaperclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Carnage-iPhone-Wallpaper-Download.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Carnage symbiote "suit"<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Expertise with bladed and projectile weapons (self-generated)<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- No formal combat training<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Cletus was already a psychopath with a long history of violence when he bonded with the alien symbiote offspring of Venom's symbiote suit.

Dragons, thunderbirds or even a sphinx are a possible form for him the effect has also gifted him with near superhuman strength. He might not be able to stand toe to toe with other superhuman strong characters, but he is somewhat useful for clearing rubble at times.

Plus the standard exo-suit that is handed out to every soldier in Apocalypse's army. <br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/7d/Marco.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Ragnar Lodbrok is a direct descendant of the famous Viking king of the same name, of which he'll be the first to gladly share with anyone. After school he became a mercenary always siding with whoever could afford him while becoming a black belt Maui Thai martial artist. His more famous alias came from the fact that Ragnar would prefer to take on his opponents in hand to hand and become covered in their blood. Although from time to time some of it would become his. While he would never be a big name like say Wade Wilson, Ragnar became accomplished in his own right.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;His last job had Ragnar being hired by a mobster as a bodyguard for his daughter Christina, because he didn't trust any of his family to protect her. As time went on the two eventually became lovers away from the prying eyes of her father. One day when they were out on their weekly shopping trip, also happened to be the day when Apocalypse decided to strike. Try as he might Ragnar was overpowered and taken along with Christina and subjected to the Judgement Formula. He tried to protect her one last time, but only succeeded in have her die in his arms. Ragnar himself hovered on the brink of death for days afterward before finally growing more healthy and making his first shift into a hellhound. Almost succeeding in escaping he was brought back and subjected to more before the mind controlling agent kicked in making him a part of the army.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A little known fact about Ragnar was that he tattooed a rune on his body after a successful mission. He also still worships the Norse gods even claiming Tyr as his patron god. In this fact even under mind control he will not lift a hand against a member of the Norse Pantheon... <br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Myth is only able to shift into creatures that he has knowledge of. To this effect he is always trying to learn as he never knows when one might come in handy. He also gains the weaknesses of the creatures he changes into as well as their abilities. In Ragnar's mind his one greatest failing was when Cristina died in his arms. To this effect he has become withdrawn and fights with a recklessness as he doesn't care of injuries that he sustains in battle. Always ruthless when fighting this has also increased as well.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ragnar was technically with the Scarlotti crime family working as a bodyguard for Christina Scarlotti in Italy when Apocalypse began his takeover push. Now after being indoctrinated into the army Myth spends his time doing whatever is asked of him and in a most vicious manner.</span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n265/TwiztiedStickboy/RP/devon_aoki_2.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>BLINK</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Clarice Ferguson<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> Starchild - given by Apocalypse<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Messenger, Insider, Jumper</span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Blink has the ability to create teleportation portals that can move objects or groups of people short or vast distances. Her limit is not known, but she has teleported as far as from Earth to the moon. She uses her powers offensively by focusing her teleportation ability creating spears which she can throw with high accuracy. The spears will expand into portals at her will, teleporting an enemy, object, partial object or merely stunning them and she usually keeps a quiver of spears on her back. She is very skilled with her teleportation powers, and has on several occasions defeated much more powerful opponents by redirecting their own powers back at them. Her teleporting makes a characteristic 'blink' sound, this is how she got her name..<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She has proven to be a very skilled hand to hand fighter, having honed her skills by training with Black Queen; She is also extremely agile. Also, she has become a skilled technician at nearly all forms of hand-thrown weapons - preferring this type of weaponry since her powers gift her with nearly unlimited ammunition. <br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Blink is a descendant of Apocalpyse, the daughter of a son he fathered during his last appearance between WWI and WWII. When she first used her powers, Clarice was knocked unconscious. When she awoke, she found herself in a pool of blood. At the time, she vowed to never use her powers against another living being again. Her first notable exploits were as a member of the Hellfire Club after The Black Queen replaced Sebastian Shaw. As Selene started to gain hold upon Clarice, she was&nbsp; groomed into a teleporting mutant who could kill at will. After only a few months of being under Selene's tutelage, Blink had began to grow adept at using her powers, and would kill without hesitation.&nbsp; Her determination and strength had grown incredibly, making her a capable lieutenant of the Hellfire Club. Wherever Selene needed to take a fight, Blink was usually leading the first wave, leaving a path of destruction in her wake.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n265/TwiztiedStickboy/Untitled-6.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Clarice can be impulsive at times, which can cause her to make mistakes if she gets in situations where her confidence takes too much of a lead. She is also very fond of Selene despite her current distaste for the woman's actions - she's like a mother to her. She might be swayed to think or act differently if she feels it would impress or - on the flipside - anger Selene. Finally, being a true blood-descendant of Apocalypse tends to give her an instinctive resistance to working against him, since he's the only real family of hers that still exists, it's an internal battle she fights constantly. Her affection for Selene and bond with Apocalypse are probably the only two reasons she didn't defect from the very beginning.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;After Apocalypse arrived and honored Selene with an appointment as one of his horsemen, Blink actively went on scouting and death squad assignments alongside her mentor and the other three horsemen: Carnage, Plague and Psylocke. These took place in locations all around the world, and Blink escorted Apocalypse and his horsemen instantaneously around the globe. Clarice did not particularly care for Carnage or Plague but would tolerate them for Selene’s sake. As time went on, Blink became Selene and Apocalypse’s head scout as well as transportation for attack squads or assassins. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This meant the teleporter knew all the bases of operation quite well; not to mention the areas that were favored the most to coordinate the plans. To keep Clarice in line they assured her that after Apocalypse controlled the world that the remaining humans would be integrated peacefully. She believed them with all her heart as they had not lied to her before; at least not to her knowledge.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;As she helped further The Vision's agenda, Blink watched every center of power and communication get hit. Strongholds and safe havens were annihilated on every continent. She watched as the major cities of the world crumbled and fell, near-demolished. Blink shortly afterward came to find out that every human POW was being injected with Apocalypse’s “Judgement” serum and many were dying. That was when Clarice started to second guess Selene and Apocalypse. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Having been blatently lied to by the two people she trusted the most... Clarice became furious. The mutant, however, decided to just go along with what she was told to do for now, but sometime in the very near future she would make her break. Hoping to defect to the Resistance and those who would stand up against the heartless violence and tyranny.</span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://img547.imageshack.us/img547/4937/spjtehnoochness.png)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>SPRING-HEELED JACK</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Jack Trenton<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> Spring-Heeled Jack, Spring-Jack, Terror of London, Demon of Dalston and Hellion of Hammersmith<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Thief, Saboteur, Scout, Brawler</span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>Jack’s jumps:</em>&nbsp; Spring-Heeled Jack has the ability to leap incredible heights and distances even from a standing position. He can use this athleticism to quickly scale buildings in but a few bounds. His body has grown to withstand the incredible pressure the g-force exerts when doing so, and as such Spring-Jack has enhanced durability. After a few years of playing around with this, SpringJack has also developed a certain amount of gymnast ability also – he can bounce between walls and even across/onto moving objects such as trucks with ease in an enhanced parkour manner. His reflexes, whilst not preternatural like Spiderman's, are sharper than your average.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>Jack’s claws:</em> Whilst his hands are normal, at will Spring-Jack can sprout small claws from his finger and thumb tips, allowing him to cling to the walls of nearly all buildings. Whilst mainly a climbing tool, he can also use these claws in combat.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>Jack’s breath:</em> Due to a mysteriously mutated extra saliva gland, SpringJack can exhale a cloud of bluish-white gas from his mouth in an immediate five-foot radius. This saliva-toxin has a dual effect; when used on humans, it can confuse and disorient them, hampering the senses. When used on electronic equipment, it causes it to glitch, crash, or otherwise break temporarily. SpringJack has only really used it to break past basic security systems and bypass security cameras, he sincerely doubts it would have any effect on a cyborg, or any powerful effect on a suit of armour such as Iron Man’s.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Apart from his on-the-job training and pseudo-parkour abilities, due to his somewhat hedonistic lifestyle, Spring-Jack doesn’t really train. He’s adept at breaking into things and running battles with the police, but never really had any strict training regime.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;His equipment consists of his suit, mask, and boots. In the heel of the latter there is a compact density rubber, allowing him to fall from great distances, land on his feet, and not break any bones. His suit is partial armour but mainly designed for flexibility, and such is various layers of strengthened rubber and spandex. The helmet, key for Spring-Heeled Jack’s identification as the legend, covers part of his head and the eyepieces glow a dull red.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://img547.imageshack.us/img547/4937/spjtehnoochness.png)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Always nihilistic and destructive, Jack Trenton was a torment to himself and others at university. Between playing cruel practical jokes and getting into fights, it was a wonder that he ever finished his history degree, but finish it he did with a dissertation on London urban myths, the central focus being Spring-Heeled Jack. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A year after his graduation, living alone and mostly in front of a computer screen, Jack cottoned onto the fact he was being followed, both in real life and online. A mysterious benefactor was tracking him and leaving him enigmatic clues. Jack’s naturally curious and sharp mind took to the task of discovering this mysterious watcher greedily, and hunter soon became prey. It took a week and a lengthy chase through the streets of Soho for Jack to finally come face to face with his stalker. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;However, to this day he couldn't tell you who it was - despite spending most of the day with them. He couldn't tell you what they looked like, what they wanted, or why they had spent so long looking for him. Neither could he tell you much about the following months, either. Spent in a daze that one could try to pin on inaccurately on his semi-habitual drug habit, Jack has a poor memory regarding this time in his life, and much of that is because of his “awakening” mere weeks after that fateful meeting. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Slowly he became aware of a change in his physical nature. He noticed he was slowly beginning to gain a few new-found abilities. These changes both intrigued and worried Jack, because his new skills mirrored the focus of his university dissertation almost identically. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In a world where there are superheroes in every country, however, it wasn't long before Jack endorsed his own powers and took gleefully to them, using them gingerly at first, before testing their limits more and more; using them for his own personal benefit. He stole his way out of his university debt and even began turning upto or gatecrashing parties in his new costume, showing off his powers to all the Shoreditch stylies and becoming a cult figure just like the legend he'd studied.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jack was careful, but still he wrought the attention of the police upon himself. He tried to never commit a crime so big as to draw the attention of Captain Britain or other native superheroes. A petty thief he may be, but to commit murder was both not within his interests and also not good for his health in the long run - he knew that. Instead we worked on becoming a street-level rockstar icon and amassing a very small fortune by breaking the law for purely selfish reasons. The new Spring Heeled Jack remained a very minor villain on the streets of London. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Until Apocalypse.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;That was when Jack's world was turned upside down. His memory of that first mysterios stranger - the curious meeting that always seemed to slip from his memory was revealed. That man was Mr. Sinister. One of Apocalypse's first villain recruits. Sinister was tasked with administering a special "drug" to people of various nationality and ethnicity - as well as different states of physical and mental health. Jack was selected as one of the trial subjects for the first version of the Judgement Serum. He and the other original serum survivors were monitored for a couple years, unaware of what had really happened to them... or of what was yet to become of them.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jack was swept up into the fray immediately as one of Apocalypse first "shock-troops" during the initial assault. A latent chemical had been injected in that first serum and remained dormant until the hour of Apocalypse choosing. That was when he called all of his "soldiers" to battle. They took up arms against their own friends, family, and the heroes they'd grown to love over the years. It all happened so fast. It was almost like a dream... or nightmare.<br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Having no real training and operating completely on his own, Spring-Jack has some bad habits and some strange ideas regarding teamwork. Spring-Jack’s certainly no Magneto. He could have been, and almost certainly could still be, but having never had the drive, ambition or training to become either a super-powered protector of London or the nemesis of England. He’s still in the minor leagues. Also, his general health is pretty poor not only after a youth spent hedonistically but also after his painful schlep across Europe.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jack was injured in the first wave of assaults - he was knocked off a building during one of the first battles against the world's superhuman forces in Britain. Due to his bodies ability to withstand lethal G-Forces, he managed to survive - barely. He was knocked into a short-term coma for nearly two days. When he awoke he found himself to be relatively unharmed besides several serious bruises and a splitting headache. London - and every other urban UK complex was in ruins. Unaware of the global devastation outside of the UK, he figured his best hope of survival and a continued future was in mainland Europe.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; He's spent the last two days trying to find a place not torn to shreds by the very forces he was once fighting for - albeit unwillingly. Currently, he’s in Moscow, terrified at the size of the place and desperately hoping to find some friendly metahuman node still functioning against Apocalypse... Because, as of now, the young man known as Spring Heeled Jack really wants to turn his life around. To do that, he needs a world to do it in.</span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd394/Vithe_rothe/Domino/raven%20queen/the_raven_queen_by_frestro79-d1hqeys_zps2bd09ab5.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>THE RAVEN QUEEN</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; <strong>Real Name:</strong> Jessica Roberts<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> 'Cold Hearted Bitch' <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Scout, Leader, Support</span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>Peak Physical Fitness</em> - Jessica is not superhuman, but has peak physical fitness for a regular human female.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>Heightened Reflexes</em> - Her inherent abilities have sharpened her mind to no small degree, allowing her to have heightened (though not preternatural) reflexes and agility.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>Enhanced Vision</em> - In human form, her eyes are as sharp as a Raven's.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>Razor-sharp Claws</em> - Jessica's fingernails have hardened considerably, making useful weapons of them when she is not able to shift into her mutl-bird form.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>Multi-Raven Form</em> - Finally, she is capable of splitting her form into a small flock of ravens. Although the extent of this power is yet unknown, she is currently able to maintain at least a dozen ravens simultaneously. The beaks and claws of her ravens are unnaturally strong, able to scratch and gouge traditional steel, as well as most other common metals and rocks. The ravens can operate independently or in a group, however, the more individualized the actions - the fewer forms she can maintain at once. Aside from the quantity, the ravens must remain within a couple of miles range of each other - as venturing too far causes the form to become unstable and rupture.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;While in her mutli-raven form, Jessica is technically immune to damage. Her ravens can be killed off as easily as one might kill of any other giant bird of prey; however, when a raven is eliminated it's essence rejoins the remaining ravens, making them bigger and stronger. This process continues until she gets down to a single human-sized raven. Once she has been reduced to a single giant raven, any damage she takes will be reflected in her human form and must be healed the same as anyone else. She has no superhuman durability outside of her claws, beaks, and fingernails (human form).<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jessica had some informal Martial Arts training when she was younger, and is relearning these skills with her newly strengthened body - but it will take time to master her old skills, as well as her new body. She is familiar with handguns - having been certified to conceal-carry for her own protection; but has rarely ever needed to use one - thus, inexperienced. Jessica's career path has encouraged her to learn multiple languages. She can fluently speak English, French, and Spanish, as well as communicate with and understand most Arabic and Russian.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd394/Vithe_rothe/Shadowrun/shadowrun2/ravenqueen1_zpse68b35e7.jpg)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jessica Roberts was clawing her way up the Wall Street ladder. She had a goal to be the best and would not let anyone or thing get in her way. Jessica used every thing she could to get ahead, from fucking the boss and blackmailing him to lieing and double-crossing. She wanted to be one of those that shook the world and stood above everyone else. Even though she was still only in her early twenties, she had already clawed her way into the upper tier of a industry-leading corporate investment company. Her goal was to become a senior VP and shareholder by the time she was thirty. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Sex was something she used to get ahead, to her it was just another commodity that got her closer to her goal. She had always been focusing on her own needs and wishes so when Apocalypse attacked she was caught by surprise. She fought to survive the Judgement Serum, and by luck or by fate - came out the other side alive. Her first transformation and reforming was a loophole that eliminated the mind-controlling chemical inherent in the serum, however, she decided it was in her best interests to set new goals within the confines of Apocalypse's plans. She believed he would eventually succeed in his plan - and, well, she wanted to be high on his list of "favorites".<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jessica can be over confident and rash at times. She is very intelligent, and has already begun figuring out her powers and ways in which to use them; but that hasty experimentation costs her at times. In her human form, or when down to a single raven, she can be hurt the same as any normal person or animal. When she reforms she is naked unless one of the ravens brings her something to wear.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Apocalypse's goals appeal to Jessica and she plans on being at the top of his army even if she has to kill everyone else to do so, or seduce them. Her new gifts unleashed her from the rules and morals of the human world and gave her a feeling of power unlike anything she had ever felt. She plans on surviving, even if that means others have to die. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;While she has committed to assisting Carnage in New York (as is currently required of her), she finds the alien-clad serial-killer cyborg to be lacking in everything she relies on: intelligence, planning, tact, and long-term goals. It seems like the only thing he desires is to hunt down and kill that damned Spider-man. At least she can appreciate his passion and drive, until of course she finds the opportunity to take his place as the Horseman of Death.</span></span></div></div></div>

As the first test-subject to receive a genetic implant of Wolverine's powers, it all went horribly wrong, or right. The more severe the injury, the more active his healing factor becomes - making him extremely difficult to kill. More innate powers Wade received as part of a Weapon X experiment is superhuman speed, strength, stamina, agility, and reflexes, as well as extended longevity.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Outside of that Wilson doesn't possess any other superhuman trait other than his immunity to telepathic assaults... but this is probably due to the fact that he is clinically insane and his brain doesn't quite operate the same way as most individuals (or ANY individuals other than himself). He is sometimes believed to have multiple personalities, ADD, OCD, and a handful of other more-serious mental illnesses. He is also able to break the "fourth-wall" of his reality and pull information and facts from an unknown time and place that most who hear it label as psycho-babble; or simply-put he knows that he is a character in a story, but considers it "just another form of reality".<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Deadpool is extremely well trained in most martial arts and has an extensive knowledge of physical anatomy. He is also a master swordsman and marksman and is well-versed in the art of "demolition-engineering". He also has a wide range of combat experience - having been working constantly as a mercenary for the majority of his known life. He usually carries twin katanas and at least a pair of sidearms, but can occasionally be seen with multiple rifles, machine-guns, and various explosive devices.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Probably Deadpool's most notable equipment is the teleportation device on his belt. When activated, it operates quite similarly to Nightcrawler's teleportation power, though he must physically activate the teleportation and cannot do so by thought alone as Kurt can. The device has its limitations as it must be recharged and is also vulnerable to becoming damaged in combat.<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Wade was one of the early members of the Weapon project after being kicked out the the US Special Forces. With the Weapon program Wilson participated in a wide variety of missions and exercises, and was one of the program's most prominent and talented operatives. After discovering he had also contracted cancer (like his father before him), Wade volunteered to be implanted with Wolverine's healing factor in an experiment - hoping it would cure his illness. Instead it the healing factor and new DNA only bonded to his cancerous cells and made his spread rapidly across his body - which cause his skin to look horribly scarred and disfigured. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; He was eventually ejected from the Weapon program after killing one of his teamates: Slayback. From there he was sent to the 'Hospice' - where all Weapon program failures get sent for rehabilitation, except that the doctor in charge of the operation - Dr. Killebrew - instead performed inhumane and grotesque experiments... most always resulting in a fatality. Workers at the hospice had a weekly gambling pool that hedged bets on how long each patient would survive - called the "deadpool". Having a difficult time killing Wade and keeping him obedient to the authority figures, eventually they targeted his hospice friend: Worm, killing him slowly in front of Wilson. Wade went on a rampage and annihilated nearly every worker in the hospice and setting all of the remaining patients free. None of them ever collected the pot on Wilson - hence him taking the name Deadpool as a reminder. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Since then Wade has been flying solo as a mercenary to whoever is offering the most cash. He has been affiliated with several different teams and been all over the world as a result. His time in the hospice has made him even more deranged than he had previously been - even having life-like hallucinations and falling in love with the entity of death. Wade's mind is about as unstable as they come. That being said, he is one of the more unpredictable characters in the Marvel Universe and tends to follow only his own random mind and instincts. He has shown flashes of good in him, but generally is motivated my more material goals.<br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Deadpool's greatest strengths are also the cause for his greatest weaknesses. His potent regeneration causes him to overestimate his durability and get into situations he can't possibly win. Also his supreme knowledge of combat tactics causes him to underestimate opponents and leads him to "toy" with them at times when he should really be pressing an advantage. Finally and most imporantly, Wade's mental instability causes him to get lost and distracted in trains of thought - even in the middle of combat. Also his unique enjoyment at the expense of others via insults, jokes, and pranks cause him to have a lot of enemies and practically zero allies - interestingly enough... he enjoys these odds.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Deadpool happened to be down in columbia at the time of Apocalypse's assault. He was down there acquiring some... "recreational" supplies, direct from the manufacturer. Once the attacks hit everything went chaotic. Deadpool - always the curious one - made his way towards the biggest concentration of forces in his area to investigate: at Buenos Aires. There he discovered Apocalypse quarantining the city and gathering up humans by the masses and crowding them into camps and storehouses while they awaited their "turn" at the nearby science facilities. Wade noticed the heavy influx of superhumans in the area and has been skirmishing on and off as he tries to survive and continue figuring out what's going on. He has evaded detection for the most part - but has gotten into encounters several times - mostly on purpose. After all, who can turn down a good old fashioned fight?<br></span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u133/kokotigress/Elliquiy/Marvel%20Character/tumblr_ls7ida4yeo1qbuxoro1_500-1.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>ELSA BLOODSTONE</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Elsa Bloodstone<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> Ellie Bloodstone<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> <del>Smart Ass</del> Monster Hunter </span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Elsa seems to have inherited most of her father's powers naturally, however, they were dormant until she found herself in the possession of the Bloodgem shard. Later she also underwent chemical enhancement while working for H.A.T.E that further boosted her natural abilities; it also seems to have had the side effect of making her far more aggressive and even volatile. She possesses superhuman strength, speed, stamina and durability, agility, senses, and an unknown degree of regenerative powers (it is assumed she is near immortal like her father but that has never been tested). Her blood contains regenerative properties that make her immune to conventional diseases, as well as allow her to destroy vampires. It is possibly that this could cure a newly turned vampire by returning them to their previously human state but older vampires die as their bodies succumb to aging. She is also capable of distinguishing humans from non-humans on sight.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She is a natural gymnast and fighter, taking to both disciplines as if she had been trained though she has not, and is an expert marksman. She also seems to benefit from her father's experiences, often recalling through hazy dream-like memories the proper way to respond to situations despite never having encountered such before. <br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Elsa's training all comes from her experiences (as well as her father's in dreams). She has not had any extensive training in any one particular martial art or weaponry. Her style of fighting is highly acrobatic and instinctual rather than learned and involves a fair amount of improvisation. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Her Bloodstone Choker is what originally activated her powers and even amplifies them to a degree. The Choker attaches itself to her, but can be removed at her will and the Bloodgem itself can repel or even kill vampires unless she wishes to allow a vampire to bite her. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Other equipment typically seen in her possession includes: a magic lamp (complete with djinn/genie) that lights up as a warning of supernatural/mystical activity and can transport her to the site of the trouble, a staff that doubles as a shovel when triggered, ultraviolet flashlights, and guns. Lots and lots of guns.<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Elsa Bloodstone is the daughter of famous monster hunter Ulysses Bloodstone. After her parents broke up, Elise, her mother, took her to Britain away from Ulysses and his monster hunting so that she would grow up without knowing who her father was or what he did. Still, despite not knowing anything about the man, she was plagued by dreams about vampires and other creatures. Shortly after Elsa turned 18, Ulysses died and left the Bloodstone House to his daughter and her pregnant mother along with all of its contents. Once there, Elsa would meet Adam, the Frankenstein monster and the caretaker of the house. It was he who would reveal her true heritage, offering her the mystic Bloodstone Choker which bonded with and activated her powers. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Elsa would also be given other items from her father's collection, including a mystic lamp that contained a captured djinn ("genie") and served as an early-warning detection system. Some of her first adventures involved encountering Dracula in Bosnia and later helping the Living Mummy defeat the resurrected Egyptian necromancer Rakses. Following that she would become involved in a Nosferati vampire plot to infect pureblood vampires with a virus that would turn them into an eternal source of nourishment for the Nosferati. Elsa confronted Nosferatu himself and when he tried to bite her, her Bloodstone Choker destroyed him.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; After those events, she and her mother decided to stay in Boston (her mother none the wiser of course), the Bloodstone House becoming a curiosity shop run by her mother while Elsa continued to learn more about the legacy left to her and hunt monsters in between college classes. Only a short while later Elsa was recruited by Dirk Anger of H.A.T.E. to fight Unusual Weapons of Mass Destruction (UWMD) alongside Monica Rambeau (Photon), Tabitha Smith (Boom Boom), Aaron Stack (Machine Man), and The Captain as a Nextwave operative. Shortly after being recruited, Tabitha stole the business plan from Beyond Corporation and discovered that it was actually a terrorist organization, one that was funding H.A.T.E., their current employers. After that the team went rogue, using the business plan to destroy all the UWMDs that Beyond Corp was testing. Elsa and her teammates managed to take down the corporation and would then go their separate ways.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Elsa got back to her monster hunting full time, her time with H.A.T.E. and Nextwave having changed the once bubbly blonde irrevocably. She continued to keep her activities a secret from her mother and half-brother but Elsa (sometimes called Ellie) took up her father's responsibilities so the name Elsa Bloodstone has become far more recognizable. After leaving her Nextwave team mates, Elsa joined up with Iron Man's Fifty State Initiative and signed the Superhuman Registration Act. Afterward she once again resumed her monster hunting, mostly working alone or with the occasional pairing. She has joined up with the Legion of Monsters a few times when their missions have aligned and remains on decent terms with them. <br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u133/kokotigress/Elliquiy/Marvel%20Character/n1186082173_97045_6399.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Despite her somewhat innocuous beginnings, Elsa had gone from feisty blonde co-ed full of one-liners and frequent pop culture references, to a rather brash, cocky, and sometimes mouthy redhead full of one-liners and the occasional pop culture reference thanks to her time with H.A.T.E and whatever it was they did to her (she's still not 100% sure). Her adventures in monster hunting and all the things she's seen in her time have also greatly contributed to the shift of her personality. She views her legacy as a heavy burden, one that she refuses to ever pass on, and bears it with a sort of grim determination. Unfortunately that outlook has made her more than a little snarky and she can't seem to help but make her rather superior attitude quite clear. She can be loud and overly aggressive to the point that she may sometimes seem a bit crazy, especially with her fondness for hitting, shooting, or blowing up stuff. Frankly, Ellie tends to rub people the wrong way, quite often making cohesive team work a very difficult thing to manage when she's included. She has few real friends. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Elsa has inherited her father's allies, enemies, and general notoriety. Pretty much anyone who would have had reason to know Ulysses' name now knows hers. Often times she is recognized on sight.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Elsa dislikes engaging humans in combat to the point that it may cause her to hesitate initially.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; After receiving her PhD in Archaeology, Elsa began traveling as a sort of archaeologist for hire specializing in circumstances that involve monsters or mystical activity. Occasionally she invites her former Nextwave teammate, Boom Boom, to accompany her since the two have formed an odd sort of friendship now that whatever H.A.T.E. did to them has settled some, but most times she ventures out alone. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; In the days before Apocalypse's arrival, Elsa had been off searching through the Amazon for a fabled tribe that was said to be guarding an artifact that could protect the wielder from demons, giving them greater mental fortitude against influence and protecting them physically from harm. While moving through the jungle and doing her best to locate the nomadic tribe, her lamp began to glow so brightly she thought it might explode or something. Concerned, she wished to be transported to where she was most needed and for several seconds nothing happened. Later she would realize it was because there were far too many locations that could use her help but finally the lamp would transport her back to New York, dropping her straight in the middle of a war zone. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Confused but more than ready to put up a fight, Elsa jumped into the fray against Apocalypse's men. She did her best to stand with the other superheroes of New York but eventually, as the heroes were all forced to retreat or were defeated, Elsa made the decision to concentrate her efforts on hiding those she could. Moving carefully she began transporting people (injured heroes, villains, and humans alike) first to the mini-base in Harlem that she'd inherited from her father, then eventually to her mansion in Boston which had its own magical protection that kept it from being destroyed. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In the days since the world exploded Ellie has been doing her best to protect those she can, transporting resources to pockets of survivors while keeping her ears perked for signs of the Resistance, not to mention using Apocalypse's army as target practice whenever she can. She had managed to briefly reunite with Boom Boom and the two had worked together, but her friend has since gone off in search of the Resistance and Elsa hasn't yet heard back from her. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;For now Elsa and the survivors she harbors remain safe in her mansion but she knows it is only a matter of time before that safety disappears. Her purpose has been to protect humanity from the monsters that plague the world. As of now, seeing Apocalypse and his forces annihilated has become her top priority. </span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/2c/IMArmor2A.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>IRON MAN</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Anthony Edward Stark<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> Tony, Shellhead, Golden Avenger, Jackass<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Leader, Avenger </span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Tony’s biggest asset is his extreme intelligence.

Dani has training in a unique guerilla style-native american-Tae Kwon Do, but only enough to defend herself from regular attackers and fight in close spaces if she needs to, hand to hand. Her ability to use a bow and arrow is what keeps her in the fight among super humans and super villains.She usually has a large knife on her right thigh.<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>Dani was haunted in her teen years by an imaginary grizzly that had made itself so powerful through her mutation, that it became tangible and killed her family. Her grandfather felt like he had to take responsibility for this child, she was half french, and half Cheyenne tribe. Her grandfather, Black Eagle, who was entirely of native blood, saw a gift in her power, where she only saw a curse. Struggling with depression and the urge to kill herself, Black Eagle taught her to confront the bear, and harness her gifts. It took many years, but after intense discipline, she fought out of her own mind and learned to access the fears and desires of others around her. Having the help of Professor Xavier in her early adult life didn't hurt either, and he taught her to focus her energy and create her devastating psyche-mirage-arrows.<br><br>This intense training regiment that was put to use for over a decade has turned Dani into a focused machine.

I think she would get along great with Rogue, Storm, Cyclops, Beast, The Professor himself, and other like-minded do-gooders.

Disfigured by powers that seem a random grab-bag of abilities he seems to gain little for the problems he receives in return.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Working from the least tactically significant power and working upwards, first power of note is that Kurt has a fully prehensile tail at the base of his spine. This tail seems to be about as long as one of his legs and strong enough to carry at least his own body weight.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Next comes his hands and feet. Noted to have only three fingers on each hand and two toes on each foot, Kurt does seem to stick to surfaces in a manner similar to Spider-Man- though not as well.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Next comes his skin and hair, as he seems to be covered in a thin indigo coat of fur. A striking mutation, this does give him the distinct advantage of giving a high degree of stealth in areas of poor lighting. So much so that it was theorized, but until somewhat recently unconfirmed, that in poorly lit places he could literally turn invisible.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Finally comes his trademark power, as Kurt Wagner is known in many circles to be one of Earth's top teleporters. His range and the amount of mass he can take with him leaves something to be desired- between 3 and 5 kilometers depending on orientation of the teleport and about as much extra mass as another adult human- but he's developed advanced tactics and tricks to really take advantage of his power in combat, rescue, and recon missions. The BAMF sound may not be a noise quite as feared as SNIKT among the enemies of the X-Men but it's a dreaded sound none-the-less.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;When he was with the Bavarian Circus, he was The Incredible Nightcrawler- and between the adaptations present in his spine for his tail and a lifetime of training he wowed audiences as one of the world's finest circus acrobats and trapeze artists. His agility and acrobatics skill is at LEAST on par with Olympic gold medal winners and might qualify as superhuman.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Something else that started with the Circus and honed by training from the X-Men is that Kurt is a world-class swordsman. Exactly how he compared with World Masters is unknown, mutants were barred from competing against normal humans, but the common opinion among the professional swordsmen and women of the world was that he was at least as good with a blade as any of them. Something made all the more startling when you realize that there's talking about Kurt handling one blade- with the X-Men he's mastered being able to use three swords at the same time, one in each hand and a third with his tail.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Kurt also has an old Image Inducer laying around, a device worn on the wrist that projects a holographic disguise of a normal human over his appearance. He admits that he used to wear it often when he was younger and wanted to hide what he was- but those days left a while ago. Still, it comes in handy now with the Rise of Apocalypse. Arguably you could also include Kurt's Faith here. Devoutly believing that there is a God and an Afterlife, he's drawn from that a level of courage that seems the stuff of legends in these days- or the stuff of death wishes.<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Ah, the lives of mutants. Such strange and wonderful things sometimes. Sometimes not so wonderful. For example- Mystique. She figured out very quickly after getting her powers that she could take forms that looked male. Of course, what she discovered along with her then teammate/lover Destiny that sometimes those forms don't just look male but they are male when Destiny got pregnant. A little weirded out to say the least; and perhaps understandably so, especially since the baby boy had blue skin, pointed ears, fangs, and a tail; they ended up giving the baby to Margali Szardos- a sorceress and gypsy queen posing as a circus fortune teller.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Raised among the Bavarian Circus, Kurt would become a star acrobat and trapeze artist leading a surprisingly blessed life. It helped that those who knew that he wasn't wearing a costume were circus people who knew a few other 'freaks' as well. He'd taste stardom, adventure, love, and drama for the first time under the big top and never get enough. Unfortunately the circus would get bought up by an American Millionaire who, among other things, began chaining up and drugging Kurt so that he'd be part of the sideshow and not one of the main acts. Released by a young boy, Kurt would threaten the owner into being a better Circus owner then run away. He'd be introduced to the larger world of superheroics when he managed to stop a serial killer with magical powers, but the witnesses saw his demonic appearance and believed he was the killer. The resulting manhunt would end up with Kurt meeting Charles Xavier and joining the X-Men.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Nightcrawler has been an X-Man and a member of a British team called Excalibur as a sort of modern day Swashbuckler. He even tried being a Priest for a while but discovered that the Nun who presided over his vows only did so because she hated mutants and she wanted revenge on the Catholic Church for covering up the fact that she was raped by another priest. Intending to get revenge against both Mutants and the Church in one fell swoop by exposing Kurt as 'Satan'- Kurt would eventually foil the plan but because of her motivations he'd learn that his vows didn't count. Between the conflict and his growing unease with the child abuse scandals, Kurt Wagner would eventually decide to not try to renew his vows. He hasn't lost his faith in God, but he had lost faith in the Church.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Not that he was that good of a Catholic anyway. A Swashbuckler who loves adventure at heart, his luck with the ladies has been joked at as another power. One not quite as funny now, in one such adventure he met a time travelling super-heroine from the future code-named Nocturne who claimed that at some point in the near future he would impregnate the Scarlet Witch. Considering Nocturne also had yellow eyes, blue skin, and a tail he wasn't about to ask for a DNA test. Now that he doesn't know if Wanda is even alive or dead, that seems more cruel then funny.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://www.philippalmer.net/wp-content/uploads/nightcrawler.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Physically, the obvious bit is that Kurt's appearance is bizarre even by mutant standards. Not only is he an obvious mutant but he looks like a gloomy demon from hell. This has led to particularly notable mutant social drama, and more then once people have thought he was the villain of the situation.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Emotionally is the greatest weakness however. A faithful, if not always the most observant, Catholic- Kurt's Faith is being tested like nothing ever has before. He believes, but it's hard to see how anything like this level of death and destruction could be part of God's plan. Even he wonders if what he's doing isn't so much Courage as a Deathwish.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Powerwise, his teleportation range and carrying mass are both on the low end of the scale- between 3 to 5 kilometers and only about enough mass to bring one other adult or two children with him. And his passengers have often complained about nausea and fatigue from the trip.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Kurt Wagner is a member of the X-Men in good standing and as such knows very well and has worked with the other known surviving X-Men; Rogue, Gambit, and Wolverine. Rogue is actually his half-sister by adoption. He's also fought Magneto on multiple occasions, but accepts that they're on the same side in this conflict. Possibly a bit too much actually, Kurt does try to see the best in people and is often the first to point out that Magneto's motivations are not only completely understandable but in many ways completely respectable- it's Magneto's methods that left something to be desired.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;While the X-Men and the Avengers don't have the deepest of relationships, for the most part there's nothing but respect for the other team. As such Kurt pretty much knows the Avengers characters if not well- Black Widow, Nova, Iron Man, Diamondback.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Kurt has had the unfortunate luck of meeting Deadpool. Pity is the word he'd use to describe his impressions of the man.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; He has however met Spider-Man and has nothing but good things to say about the man, with the possible exception of being a little envious that he's so agile without the training Kurt underwent.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Most of the rest, Kurt's never met. It's possibly for the best for some of them. Blade, Loki, Elsa Bloodstone, Black Cat. [And if Jane Foster's player is okay with it, maybe Kurt managed to come to the rescue of her and others like her- at least after Judgement in her case.]<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; As for Apocalypse and his Four Horsemen, Kurt sees villains that need to be stopped in all honesty. He does acknowledge that it's possible that Apocalypse is controlling at least some of them- but he knows the Black Queen, she'd do something like this if she had the power Apocalypse has granted her as Famine. He doesn't know Cletus Kassidy, but he does know that the man who would be War was a serial killer- can't imagine Apocalypse's influence had to go far there either. He doesn't know enough about Pestilance to make such a call.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; He does believe that Death can be saved though. Betsy was a friend and a fellow X-Man. There's no way she's doing this of her own free will. The idea is too horrible to comprehend.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Since Apocalypse began his attack, Kurt has leapt into the fray- literally trying to save as many lives as he can. With his abilities he's actually been doing a pretty good job as a one-man raiding party on Apocalypse's camps. He likes to think he's becoming something like a new Zorro, a Swashbuckler who boldly stands up for what is right. He wonders sometimes if what's really going on is that he has a deathwish but doesn't want to commit suicide so that he can ask God why he let this happen.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; He also remembers from past adventures that according to the occasional time traveler from the future his eye for and luck with the ladies had resulted in timelines where him having multiple children (often with multiple women) was surprisingly common. Among his future would-be children, he got to know a super-heroine code-named Nocturne who claimed [believably if not confirmed by DNA] to be his daughter with Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch. He hopes that at least some of his future possible-offspring are still going to happen, and honestly hopes that the mothers of his future children according to the future timelines are still alive. Though sometimes he does wonder if it's a good thing that he knows what he does about the future.</span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://www.youngmalecelebs.net/galleries/walker/Walker009.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>MID-KNIGHT</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Jacob Wheatly<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong>Mid-Knight<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Assassin, Fighter</span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Darkness manipulation-he uses the darkness and shadows to create constructs that allow him to defend himself in the form of armor and form weapons [swords, shields, whips, mace, etc], shadow phasing-he can morph in and out of a shadow form, making his whole body in turn shadow allowing him to move along surfaces and even in the darkness and shadows of others. his weapons and eyes have a purplish soft glow to them.

The time it takes to "charge" an object with kinetic energy is relative to the size of the object, small objects being near instantaneous while large objects could take minutes or even hours. The power of the "charge" is also relative to the size: a playing card holding the kinetic energy of a hand grenade. When an object is "charged", it often ends in explosive results, though Gambit can also use the energy to accelerate an object, an example of which being his charging his bo staff to hit with enough force to level a house.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Another example of his control of kinetic energy is the constant creation of bio-kinetic energy in his body. Due to the constant flow of bio-kinetic energy inside him, his strength, speed, reflexes and reactions, agility, flexibility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance are all at peak or above peak levels.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The last of his abilities is a constant "static" that disrupts psionic attack and detection, as well as a hypnotic charm. The charm is enough to make those around him believe what he wishes them to, though not enough to influence them outside of what they would do or want normally.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Gambit has created a martial arts style that fully utilizes his increased agility and acrobatic abilities formed from French Savate, bojutsu, and street fighting. He often using quick strikes and acrobatic leaps to attack and defend rather than power blows and blocks that are often seen used by his friend and drinking buddy Logan. He also utilizes a custom built retractable bo staff made of strong and resilient metals that can withstand the use of his "charging". As a master poker player, Gambit is extremely skilled in the art of the bluff, as well as his signature card-throwing that makes up his primary combat method. He is also one of the most skilled thieves the world has seen, having been the patriarch of the LeBeau Clan Thieve's Guild.<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Rémy LeBeau was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was kidnapped from the hospital where he was born, then raised by the LeBeau Clan Thieves' Guild, and given to the Antiquary as a tribute.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;They referred to the child as "Le Diable Blanc" ("the White Devil") and believed he was prophesied to unite the warring Thieves' and Assassins' Guilds. Soon after, Rémy was placed in the care of Fagan's Mob, a gang of street thieves who raised the child and taught him the ways of thievery. After living as an orphan on the streets, a 10-year-old Rémy attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, then patriarch of the Thieves' Guild. Jean-Luc took the boy off the streets and adopted him into his own family.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Rémy's bio-kinetic charging abilities manifested early in his teens, although he kept his powers secret from his family and friends, practicing his powers away from prying eyes. When he was 15, he accompanied his cousin Etienne Marceaux on his "Tithing", the ritual initiation test of the Thieves' Guild. However, it went awry as they were assigned to steal from the powerful immortal mutant Candra, who quickly captured them. Candra recognized Rémy from an encounter that had taken place in her past but in his future (due to a time travel mission to the 19th Century Rémy would take as an adult) and sold them to the deformed mutant gangster and child slave trader known as the Pig, who planned to sell them and others their age to HYDRA as boy soldiers. Rémy used his powers to escape their holding pen, but the physically enhanced Pig quickly caught up to them. Rémy discovered his signature attack when he picked up a playing card that Etienne had dropped, charged it, and threw it in the Pig's face, taking out his eye. Finally escaping his cliff top headquarters by diving into the sea, Rémy was ultimately rescued by the Guild; Etienne drowned. Later during his teen years, Rémy was first hired by Mr. Sinister, then in disguise of Dr. Nathaniel Essex. Essex wanted his stolen diaries back from the Weapon X program. Rémy and the Thieves' Guild accepted the mission and sent out Rémy to retrieve said diaries. Standing in the cold, scouting the Weapon X facility, Rémy couldn't bear the cold and swore he would steal a long, stylish jacket in New Orleans after the mission, which he did. Upon entering the facility, Rémy witnessed Wolverine escaping from his adamantium procedure and found the diaries. However, deeming them to be too dangerous for Essex to have them, as Rémy didn't fully trust him, Rémy burned the diaries. He headed back home, only to find a disappointed Thieves' Guild and Essex.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Later in his life, Rémy found his way to the X-Men by way of Storm. Helping the then de-powered mutant escape the clutches of the Shadow King. In return Storm brought the thief to Xavior, who took him in after Gambit had assisted the X-Men battle the Genoshans. While the new life was far different from the one he knew, Rémy took to it in stride as he found a reason to hang around in the form of Rogue. The two quickly developed a bond that turned into an on again, off again relationship, though they both know his affection for her even in troubling times. However, one major turning point in their early relationship was the discovery of his involvement in the Morlock Massacre. Forced out of the X-Men, Gambit returned to thievery to stay alive until the team sought him out once more to rejoin the team.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; With the return of Apocalypse, Gambit narrowly avoided being drawn into the role of Death by a sudden intervention and subsequent transformation of Psylock. Rémy has a strong wish to free Psylock from Apocalypse's grasp, and fights valiantly against the world ender.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://www.xmen-supreme.com/images/Gambit.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The first weakness Gambit has in regards to his powers is the most obvious, the fact that his charging takes time. Due to this, he often limits the size of the object he charges, though he also does this to limit the damage caused by the explosive force of impact. Another weakness his powers have is that if one knows of his charm, they are not affected by it. He also has to speak or do something to cause the subtle implantation of his charm.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Rémy is quite the flirt, which has caused him more trouble than it has ever assisted him. The only true success of his flirtation is Rogue, and even then it has caused her to smack him upside the head on more than a few occassions, which is quite painful physically with her super strength.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Another issue he has is his habits of drinking and smoking, though never quite to excess. However, that doesn't mean he hasn't been on a wild night with Logan in the past, once ending up naked outside Rogue's window with a boombox covering his manhood playing Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up. He still has the scar from where the curling iron hit him next to his eye.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Gambit is often seen with the X-men, though he formally worked with both the Marauders and the LeBeau Clan. He has since fully instituted himself with the X-Men, though he still has nightmares of his past actions to this day. As far as relationships are concerned, Rémy is very close with Logan, often acting as wingman and drinking buddy. The two are often teasing in a brotherly way, though it usually ends with a punch to the arm and a laugh. Romantically speaking however, Rogue is Gambit's one true love, though they have both had issues that have kept them from fully commiting to a stable relationship.

This was to compliment the abilities he had gained from the spider bite. He made his own costume, and ebcame teh vigilante known as Spider-Man. Over the years he has made many friends and enemies, even one time had a relationship with the Vigilante known as Black Cat. Eventually there was an event that "completed" his mutation, allowing his web to come naturally, no longer needing to make it on his own.

He also ages quite slowly, but he is mortal, subject to the ravages of time eventually. Along with his enhanced attributes, he has greater sensory capabilities. This power all stems from his vampiric heredity, however minor. These attributes, although much greater than that of the average human, aren't at the same sort of level as another superhuman, for example, Spiderman or Colossus. The extent of his abilities would be classified as superhuman at the lowest level, that being said, covering a broad range of enhancements.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Blade is a master swordsman, his favourite being his signature Katana. But in terms of combat skills, he isn't limited to just swords, he is also an master in hand-to-hand and an expert in marksmanship. He is also trained to use throwing knives. His list of equipment is extensive, but when Apocalypse hit, Blade lost a significant number of his weapons. He has his Katana (which he has on his self whenever possible), throwing knives, throwing glaives and a single large revolver, in other times used to fire retrofitted silver or UV bullets. His uniform includes a black trenchcoat, complete with black body armour and clothes. <br><br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Blade is a very unique case when it comes to his origins. He was born in a brothel in London England, to his mother Tara Brooks, a prostitute there. She had severe labour complications and a doctor was called in, who in actuality, was Deacon Frost, a vampire, who during his birth, attacked and killed his mother. Through this, Blade was given his pseudo-vampiric attributes, including his lust for blood. Growing up, he assisted an old man on the streets who was being attacked by vampires, the man, as it happened, was a vampire hunter and a musician. He taught Blade about vampires, music and the fine art of slaying, passing on an expertise in edged weaponry and making him a capable vampire hunter. As time passed and Blade aged, he gathered more and more experience, also encountering many a fierce opponent. He travelled the world hunting his nemesis, Dracula and along the way, met many prominent figures, like spiderman and Doctor strange, frequently allying with the latter to combat supernatural forces. Along the way, he solidified his reputation among heroes as an unusually dispassionate and ruthless combatant, killing without much hesitation, the reputation aided by his barbaric methods and pathology when not applied to vampires. Though he had many a good time and grew from his experiences all over the world, meeting people and going many places, he also lost many close friends. The man who trained him, his girlfriend, his partners and friends. It made Blade hate anything that would kill humans, going beyond just the vampiric.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/70QCU.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Though Blade's powers are numerous, along with his many talents, his weakness comes in the form of his powers not being extremely potent in any one way. His super strength will never be more than slightly greater than human, the same being true for all of his enhanced attributes. Along with this broad impotency, Blade still has the vampiric thirst for blood and must take a serum to surpress and sate it. On the more psychological side, Blade has an extremely bloody and tragic history with human relationships, leading to pathological need to protect regular human beings from harm, having seen too many, important or otherwise already die. Besides his need to protect the ordinary, Blade doesn't tend to get along well with many superhumans, having hunted the supernatural all his life, his externally abrasive personality only adding the problem of getting along with others.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Blade has only had run-ins with a few of the other more famous superheroes out there. Among them, Doctor Strange numbered as the one he allied with most frequently, as they shared a distaste for the darker side of the supernatural. Besides DS, Blade has fought Spider-Man a number of times, as Spidey had allied with one of Blade's most hated enemies, Morbius, on the odd occasion. The battles left Blade with a somewhat unsavoury opinion of the web-crawling hero, especially since he consorted with a "vampire". Besides those two, Blade was previously allied with other slayers, including the Night Stalkers and other solo hunters.&nbsp; </span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/e1lLC.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>XAVIN</strong></span></span><br><hr>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Real Name:</strong> Xavin<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> N/A<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Support, Brawler</span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Xavin is a Super-Skrull in training and has all the perks that come with it.

As a former prince she has also received an excellent Skrull education, which is of limited use on Earth. All of her equipment has been lost or destroyed, she once had a pretty fancy UFO.

Xavin grew up pampered and alone, forbidden from having any friends or even acquaintances. Despite (or maybe because) she didn't know anyone closely she grew up loving peace and believing that all peoples living in harmony was possible. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The marriage of Karolina and Xavin was to bring the two alien races together and stop a war. About a year before the rise of Apocalypse, Xavin traveled to Earth and found Karolina and proposed, and was ultimately accepted after shifting his assumed form to female to conform with Karolina's sexual preferences. The time the two spent together was hectic and full of trouble, but Xavin learned a lot about herself and grew to truly love Karolina. Whereas Skrull genders are nearly meaningless, Karolina was insistent that Xavin's inner self was female. What began as nothing more important than changing hats became a significant part of who Xavin thought of herself as. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Nearly six months ago, when interstellar politics shifted, Xavin was expected by the Skrulls to help capture Karolina and turn her in for punishment. Xavin refused because of her love for Karolina and was declared a traitor for it, essentially cut off from her people ever since. Without anywhere else to go, Xavin stayed on Earth with her lover and helped protect her from both the Skrulls and the Majesdanians who were hunting her. These experiences made Xavin do an almost complete reverse of her previous position about peace and harmony. She now harbors a lot of resentment and distrust towards most intelligent species. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ten days before Apocalypse's attack, Xavin and Karolina had their first really big fight. After a lot of screaming, name calling and blaming, Karolina decided they needed to take some time off. She felt like Xavin took her for granted and had the wrong sorts of ambition and showed no real growth or spiritual development. Xavin screamed back that she was the one being taken for granted and that nobody had ever asked her if she wanted to be in this relationship and maybe she didn't want to any more than Karolina did but at least she understood duty, which is something Karolina with her free spirit attitude would never understand. After a rather tense standoff, Xavin being too young and proud and thickheaded to apologize and beg her fiance to stay, Karolina returned to Majesdania making very sure Xavin understood she considered herself single for the time being.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Rather than act sorry, Xavin has vowed that she is going to have so much fun that Karolina is going to come crawling back to her. An earth invasion isn't something Xavin take extremely seriously. Earth may be the only home that Xavin has but her racial pride doesn't allow her to take any threat from something that isn't a Skrull army that seriously. Also, her loyalty to the resistance is more of a whim than anything else. She is not entirely convinced that the rule of Apocalypse would be a bad thing, she is more resisting him because she gets the feeling that's what Karolina would do.<br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>* Inexperience, Xavin hasn't lived long in reality, spending most of her childhood as a pampered prince, and her plots and theories usually resemble fairy tales more than workable ideas.<br>* Aggressiveness, Xavin is a 'transform into the Thing and kick ass first and ask questions later' sort of girl.<br>* Emotional Insecurity, Xavin hates herself for abandoning Karolina and still has some doubts about her decision to betray her people for her love. <br>* Abrasive, Xavin tends to be a bit too comfortable pointing out other people's flaws.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Xavin is currently single, with her and Karolina deciding to take time off to work on their issues. Xavin is determined to use this time to show herself and Karolina that she is a completely desirable and powerful young alien prince that Karolina was lucky to ever have. She has spent the last few days carefully trailing Apocalypse's forces, staying invisible for most of it. </span></span></div></div>

His senses have been enhanced very greatly, as with his reflexes, but still not to the more pronounced levels as other heroes. Along with these enhancements, he grows to be a towering ten feet tall, with a six foot tail, hardened scales, regeneration and razor sharp teeth and claws. His regeneration is extremely potent, even regenerating limbs and healing bullet wounds quickly. With a combination of specialized scales and claws, he can scale walls and ceilings just like a gecko, frequently chasing his arch-nemesis Spider-Man up the sides of New York buildings or sewer tunnels.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;When not transformed (rarely nowadays) Curtis is a genius in almost every field of science that he applied himself to, but most specifically in biology and genetics, his experiments being the ones that generated the wave of animal-human cross genetic superheroes, including Spider-Man and himself, along with many others. He is also a minor engineer, capable of constructing several pieces of technology, some of which quite advanced, himself. After years of fighting Spider-Man over and over and over again, Curtis has developed a lot of tactical experience against superhuman opponent, including members of the fantastic four, the Avengers and even the X-men, making him a formidable opponent in the face of seasoned and powerful superhumans.<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Curtis Connors was born in Coral Gables, Florida and grew up in a well educated, loving middle class family, schooling extensively in fields relating to biology, genetics and medical. He graduated as a surgeon and enlisted in the military, helping to treat wounded soldiers after being sent off to fight. He received a near-mortal wound from an explosion and lost his right arm at the elbow, ending his career in both the military and medical fields. He returned to civilian life, determined and dangerously obsessed with the idea of regrowing his lost limb via the dangerous route of cross-species genetics. The serum he concocted with reptilian DNA worked wonders, regrowing his arm in minutes, but coming with dangerous side-effects. He turned into the Lizard, his dangerous, primal, superhuman form, which showed a completely different set of repressed personality traits, seeking the deepest, darkest desires that Connors didn't even knew he had. Every time he got too stressed, he would turn into the Lizard and commit terrible crimes, all to try and further his goals, whether it be stealing something or trying to turn all of New York into ravenous lizards. He and Peter Parker, when not transformed into a terrifying, giant lizards, take on odd roles, Connors having acted as an almost surrogate uncle, as he was close with Peter's late father, but after one too many attempts at murdering him, have grown distant. The inner battle always rages on between the split personalities of Curtis's, but in the more recent years, Connors has won out, gaining control of his changes, his alternate personality, and to some extent, the primal urges that always seize him when he is changed into the monster.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRBl8s0ILAlyPNPusSEp7-JpLXAxz2weC_Go08ZHQjmv_6JNl1CZ_3hckKquA)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Curtis's greatest weakness, while human (which is rarely the case), is that he is incredibly weak and ordinary, just another intelligent scientist. When turned into the Lizard, his physical weaknesses are only manifested in changes in temperature, due to his cold blooded nature, but he has more than a few psychological flaws. When transformed into the Lizard, although controlled, he has a considerably lowered intellect and is prone to primal urges, sometimes harder to control than others. His greatest weakness, however, is in his rather twisted pathology. Conners never believes that what he is doing is wrong, or evil, a warped arrogance one could call it. Though a good, true man at heart, an adult life of pain, loss and crushed hopes has left him prone to acting on good intentions alone, whether they're actually good or not.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; You cannot mention the name of the Lizard without mentioning Spider-Man. As mentioned before, Curtis, as a human, is close to Peter, almost like a surrogate uncle, but the two have fought as hero and villain hundreds of times across New-York, Conners being one of his most frequent and deadly enemies. Along with the web-slinger, Curtis has battled the X-Men, including Rogue, Storm and Wolverine, The Fantastic Four and on a few occasions, even the Avengers. This places him in the unique position of getting along with previous villains and nearly nobody else. Though as Connors controls his form and psyche, he isn't as aggressive or angry towards the heroes, especially in these most dire of times. Also, has experimented on a number of villains while they were temporarily in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody, including Carnage, probably earning him significant distaste in the eyes of the newly empowered villain.</span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/8b/IW001a.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>INVISIBLE WOMAN</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Susan Storm Richards<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> Invisible Girl, Sue, Susie, mom, <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Scout, support</span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Invisibility. Sue is able to manipulate the light waves around herself or around another object/person and render the target completely invisible to the human eye. She still gives off a heat signature, and she will still make sounds, though the latter can be muffled with her secondary power. <br>Psionic Force Fields. She can also create force fields with her mind and her will. She can create whatever shape she can imagine and focus upon. Her force fields are essentially indestructible, but can be diminished. <br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She is very intelligent, but not on the level of super genius or anything. She is usually calm, very cool under most pressures. She has received hand to hand combat training from Iron Fist and She-Hulk, but she still has normal human strength. She is also a capable actor and was once a model. Sue has also worked as a substitute teacher. <br>Her costume is crafted from what is known as ‘unstable molecules’. The molecules of her costume will align themselves with her physiology, so when she turns invisible, her costume does also. This was necessary when her powers first manifested, but now she has enough control over her abilities that she can manipulate the light waves of anything she is wearing. <br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Sue was very young when she met a young genius named Reed Richards. She was infatuated with him from the first. While at Columbia, Reed was working on an experimental space craft, but failed to get government funding. Reed’s best friend Ben would pilot the ship for Reed, and Susan convinced Reed to let her and her brother (Johnny) help them. He agreed, and the group successfully left Earth’s atmosphere. It happens that around that time a freak cosmic storm passed through the solar system, and the group was caught in it. They crash landed back to Earth, and found their genes were mutated. Susan had gained the ability to turn her body invisible, as well as create invisible force fields. <br>She eventually married Reed, and they had formed the supergroup ‘Fantastic Four’, along with Ben and Johnny. For many years they were one of the predominant hero groups of Earth, on the same level as the Avengers. <br>Much of her energy in the group’s early days was spent keeping them all together as a group. But over the years she has become more and more of an integral part to the team in the field, as well as an effective leader. <br>Sue has had 2 children, Franklin and Valeria. Franklin is now 9 and Valeria is 6. They currently live in New York, in the Baxter Building. It serves as both their base of operations and their home. <br><br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0c/SS001.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Sue can sometimes be too compassionate, at this juncture she doesn’t seem to have that ‘killer instinct’. She can become very distracted in matters involving her family. <br>Her powers are all anchored in her concentration and focus. Her force fields can be impenetrable, but they will cease to exist if she stops focusing on them. <br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; Sue is a founding members and co-leaders of the Fantastic Four. <br>Some consider her the first publicly known female superhero. Her team is world famous, and even known on other worlds and other dimensions. They are closely affiliated with most of the Earth’s defense forces and teams, including the Avengers and the X-Men. <br>At the moment of Apocalypse’s attacks, she is visiting an old friend of her’s in Bueno Aires with her children.

Which translates to Nobody. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> None yet<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Unknown at this time</span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Fitting with his Nihilist philosophy, Nobody is a phaser able to pass through force barriers and physical matter as if he didn't actually exist. Psychics report that he has similar psychic defences- it's like he doesn't have a mind at all. It's theorized that along the same logic he's immune to many metahuman abilities- it just seems like he doesn't actually exists. Extremely sensitive electrical equipment has been known to experience interference- including biological electrical circuits like the neurons in the brain. Because of this it's strongly believed that phasing part of his body into a living, sentient being causes extreme psychological trauma and often permanent insanity. That's one theory anyway, the other being that Nobody's just that manipulative- and likes using his persuasion to hurt people.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;While officially he's had no official training, Nobody is the son of two criminal psychopaths who loved their son- in their own ways. He's said to be freakishly good with knives and when combined with everything he's learned about psychology from living his life in an insane asylum he's a top tier manipulator.<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Some people, they say, just never had a chance. The son of two criminal psychopaths who believed that identity should be chosen, he's never accepted any name and believes identities should be earned - not given. While the news didn't get much press outside of Russia the Honeymoon Killers were quite the tabloid fodder. He was the Kremlin Cannibal, she was the Vampire Woman- two Russian serial killers whose grisly crimes were only topped in the news stories about them when they announced to the world that they met during group therapy sessions at their insane asylum and they were in love. That is, until together they escaped adding a bizarre angle of romantic love to their murders. By the time they were recaptured, their body counts had risen and the mystery was solved as to why they had been eating more and more of their victims. In a bizarre way, it seems like they weren't just psychopaths who thought they were in love- they really were. And in their time on the run they had a son.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Which is, needless to say, incredibly fucked up. Psychological Evaluations done on the nameless boy, it was pretty much universally accepted among professionals and experts that he was just as psychologically deranged as his parents and sane people just got lucky- they had found themselves a serial killer that they just happened to catch when he was too young to actually have killed anyone himself.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Now a young man, 'Nobody' was just another lost name in the system when Selene brought the Vision of Apocalypse to Russia. Unfortunately, when they found hundreds of criminal maniacs locked up in one space they brought Judgement with faith that the survivors could be controlled. It seemed that there were no survivors of Judgement though so they left. How they missed Nobody is a bit of a mystery, maybe they just didn't count the dead bodies close enough. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Funny thing though, the rumors keep surfacing that someone is still living in that old Asylum. Lights, Movement from the Windows- almost like the old place is Haunted. Selene did send a squad to the Asylum to try to get to the bottom of what's going, and the ones that returned had nothing to report but general unease and a feeling of being watched- but only about half the squad actually made it back. . .<br><br><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;While a fairly standard human physically, it's easy to think otherwise given his powers. There has been secret research that has been done by officials in the Russian government that suggests that he may not be able to phase through some highly radioactive materials but this doesn't seem to have been tested and most, if not all, of the research seems to have been lost since Apocalypse came to Russia.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It's mentally in which Nobody's real weakness lies. In some ways it's his greatest strength, born and raised a complete psychopath raised by a pair of gruesome serial killers he's pretty out there even by the standards of psychopaths. Between that and his powers, there's no denying that the only reason a lot of people are still alive is that Nobody ultimately believes that there's no real point to existence or any action, except possibly to spread the gospel of nihilism and that's iffy.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Not very many actually. The fellow inmates are all dead, the staff either killed right there or under Judgement - even what few clues were left of his identity have been wiped clean. Nobody is more akin to a booby trap someone left in an insane asylum on the way out, just waiting for someone to come by and trip the trap. . .</span></span></span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/77/Black_Cat.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>BLACK CAT</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Felicia Hardy<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> Felicia Harmon, Felicity Harmon, Leesh, Party Hardy<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Infiltrator, Saboteur </span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Probability manipulation<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Superhuman sense of smell and night vision<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Grapnel hidden in sleeves<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Expert martial artist with excellent gymnastic abilities<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Expert burglar<br><br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/68/Black_cat_02.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The Black Cat's father was a world renowned cat burglar who, before his arrest, encouraged her to never settle for second best. If she loved basketball, she should work to become a basketball player and not just a cheerleader. During her freshman year in college, she had gone to a party and was nearly raped by a drunken student in a bathroom, when she was saved by another student, named Ryan. Felicia and Ryan became close friends, spending most of their time together until one night Ryan demanded that it was time for their relationship to become physical. Felicia's protests were in vain. Hating the idea of being a victim, she decided that she would murder her rapist despite the consequences. She put aside her studies and began training in various fighting styles and acrobatics. Finally, after months of preparing, she set out for revenge, but before she could find him, Ryan was killed in a drunk driving accident. Furious that she was denied the chance to steal the life of the man who had stolen hers, and feeling reckless, Hardy decided to utilize her new skills to follow in the footsteps of her father. After amassing a fortune in stolen items, Felicia chose to adopt a costume identity. She first donned the Black Cat costume in order to break her father out of prison. On the same night, she met Spider-Man. Despite her antipathy towards men, Felicia felt a kinship with this lone hero. Spider-Man was the first man she felt she could trust and she grew to love him. Felicia looked for a way to earn his trust and continued with the Black Cat persona as a misguided attempt to attract his affection. Seeing the good in Felicia, Spider-Man made every attempt to have her criminal record expunged. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The Black Cat finally found the opportunity to prove herself after learning the Kingpin controlled an incredibly powerful detonator. The Owl planned to use the weapon to hold New York City hostage. Doctor Octopus, however, planned to use the weapon to destroy the city altogether. But the Black Cat was able to use her abilities to steal the item first and protect it from all parties. She gave the detonator to Spider-man and became the target of Doc Ock's revenge. Although Spider-Man was able to tear off his mechanical appendages, Octopus was still able to mentally control them and hold the Black Cat still while his men opened fire. Spider-Man barely got her to the hospital in time and as they operated on the dozens of bullet and knife wounds, Peter realized just how much he cared for Felicia. After she recovered they began a relationship and soon Peter revealed his identity to her. But Felicia had great difficulty accepting the fact that Peter was just a man beneath the mask and couldn't understand his need for a civilian life. Peter was hurt, but continued the relationship since it was the first time he didn't need to hide his life as Spider-Man. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Initially, the "accidents" which seemed to befall those who crossed the Black Cat's path were merely well-planned stunts and traps. After her near-death experience, Felicia feared her lack of superpowers made her a liability for Spider-Man. She was terrified that his overwhelming need to protect her would eventually kill him. So when Spider-Man disappeared during the "Secret Wars", Felicia sought out a way to make herself Spider-man's equal. After being rejected by the Avengers and the Fantastic Four, Felicia was offered an opportunity to undergo a process similar to that used to create the Scorpion and the Fly. After learning the machine only had enough power to alter one more human, the Kingpin chose to use it on the thief who had stolen from him. Scared and ashamed, she kept her new abilities secret from Peter. Her newly-gained 'bad luck' power was infectious and began to permanently jinx Spider-Man, which was exactly the Kingpin's intent. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Feeling a wall of secrets growing between them, Spider-Man broke up with Felicia. He soon realized something was amiss with his own luck and enlisted the aid of Doctor Strange to remove the "hex" on him. But doing so altered the hex's source and changed the Black Cat's powers in the process. She soon found a heightened strength, agility, balance, vision, and retractable claws. <br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Emotional issues related to her own past and loss of friends and family. <br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Her main partner in crime-fighting has been and still is Peter Parker AKA Spiderman. In the days since Apocalypse’s attack, Felicia has been laying low and trying to get in contact with any surviving superheroes, knowing that she will have little chance at success going up against Apocalypse on her own.</span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af134/MNBlend/Jeanine%20Mason/DarkHair.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>CRIMSON DYNAMO</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Khutulun Karpitskaya<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> Crimson Dynamo<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Brawler </span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Low Body Temperature, Mild Healing Factor via Digestion and Hibernation, Immunity to Most Diseases, Pain, Poisons, Biohazards, Temperature Extremes etc.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Trained as a pilot in the Russian Air Force including SERE training.

Born in the Amur province, early on she showed an insatiable mechanical aptitude and thanks to the liberalization of Russia by the downfall of the Soviet Union, found an avenue to escape the low income plight of her family as she excelled in schooling largely based on her mechanical aptitude and a growing fascination with flight. Due to her families low income however, she was unable to afford proper schooling after secondary school and thus decided to volunteer for the Russian Air Force. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;After several years of training as a pilot and flight officer, she was assigned to become a pilot of an SU-25 Attack Plane. Due to her mechanical expertise, after serving several months with her squadron, she was reassigned to becoming a test pilot for more advanced aircraft and equipment. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;After the initial strikes by Apocalypse crippled the Russian militaries leadership and front line military units, Khutulan took it upon herself to scramble a unit of pilots to defend Moscow. During their execution of a low level ground attack mission in the vicinity of Moscow, her plane was downed and Khutulan suffered from the effects of a life draining psychic vampiric attack before being captured and having Apocalypse's judgment applied to her.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She expired almost immediately, her body added to the growing mounds of corpses being stacked like firewood. But later, inexplicably, she woke up from being dead for several hours and after an uncomfortable period of digging her way out from stacks of bodies, managed to extricate herself from the situation.<br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Khutulan Karpitskaya is an impetuous young woman who is passionate about the things she believes in which include a love of her country and its people, and a very well established and pragmatic sense of right and wrong. Thus, she can be very focused and yet quite dispassionate as well as assertive and aggressive if the mood or temper strikes her. Also, despite being exposed to Apocalypse's judgment and surviving, she is in a perpetually 'deadended' state as she likes to call it, as if she's in a state of constant mild sickness. <br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A legacy of the Soviet era when a vast majority of mutants were euthanized and superhumans in general were closely monitored and controlled, Khutulan, like many Russians, has very little involvement or experience with superhumans and thus her main opinion about mutants specifically has been formed in the wake of Apocalypse's attacks. It's not a very positive one. She especially has a score to settle with an eccentric lady named Selene.</span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/SettyJenesequah/RP/SheHulkAvi.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>SHE-HULK</strong></span></span><br><hr><br><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Real Name:</strong> Jennifer Walters<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> The Baddest Babe in the Universe, Shulkie&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Brawler, Avenger</span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>-Superhuman Strength, Speed, Agility, Stamina and Reflexes.<br>-Body is superhumanly durable and nearly impervious to force, pain and disease.<br>-Enhanced healing – able to heal from extreme wounds, even impaling, within minutes.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; Training with an alien race has allowed She-Hulk to swap powers and physiques with other human women, however; she will always maintain the green skin pigmentation.

Helicarrier. This radiation exposure had a drastic effect on Jennifer: She could no longer transform back into her original human form. However; this was an agreeable turn of events for her, since she prefers being She-Hulk.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/SettyJenesequah/RP/Sexy-She-Hulk.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>-When exposed to excess Gamma Radiation, her body goes into an overloaded state. She has control over her body and can speak, but acts on emotion only.<br>-Exposures to certain wavelengths of radiation, only at very high doses, can sometimes temporarily inhibit or override her ability to transform (as previously mentioned above, she is currently unable to transform into her normal, human form).<br>-Since she is, in fact, a woman, oftentimes her emotions get the best of her.<br>-In human form, as Jennifer Walters, she is just as vulnerable as an average human and loses her superhuman abilities.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; She-Hulk, in all her green glory, was in Buenos Aires for trial, papers strewn about her hotel room while she prepared for a lengthy day in court. Entirely engrossed in her work, she was caught off-guard (as most heroes are) when the first attack hit. And, man, did it hit.<br>&nbsp; The hotel building she happened to be staying in had been located dead-center in the city, collapsing within itself and taking the green-skinned attorney down with it. How long she remained unconscious, she couldn’t be certain. She is certain, however, that having loads of cement, brick, and mortar fall down on top of you is <em>not</em> the best way to get on a lady’s good side.

This phenomenon can be anything from an enemy's equipment failure to hitting just the right switch with a stray shot to shut down an overloading nuclear reactor. <br>&nbsp; This unconsciously controlled talent is triggered when she is in a stressful situation (such as fighting or escaping). This effect constantly emanates from her body at all times and is completely subconscious. However, it is also largely participatory - in order for the luck to take effect, Domino herself must engage in an action whose chance she can affect. Although Domino cannot consciously control her ability, she can activate it by putting herself in a position in which she could be harmed. The full extent of her powers is still unknown.<br>&nbsp; For example, if debris falling from the sky was about to hit her in the head, she would still be hurt if she stood still. However, if she tried to avoid them, she would move perfectly to avoid each and every piece about to hit her. In addition if Domino where to stand before a hail of bullets she would be a bullet-ridden corpse. Instead, she must take action; in attempting to avoid the gunfire, she will miraculously bob and weave just right to avoid every single shot.<br>&nbsp; As a byproduct of her probability abilities, Domino's cerebral cortex emits a current of bio-electric pulses down her spine to instinctively guide her movements during such situations, which has the added effect of augmenting her natural reflexes and agility to near-superhuman levels.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatleft">(http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd394/Vithe_rothe/Domino/DominoX-Men.jpg)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Domino is also a superb marksman with various firearms, highly skilled athlete, excellent swimmer, and adept in use of explosives. She has extensive training in various armed combat techniques and the martial arts, with Olympic-gold level athletic and acrobatic ability. She also seems to be fluent in multiple languages. She has also been trained in the use of Knifes and daggers and carries several of composite material. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Domino's equipment was&nbsp; made by the mutant X-Man, Forge, and utilizes the bio-electric pulses her cerebral cortex emits: Her outfit enhances her strength to approximately 3 times normal and protects like light body armor. It also stores the bio-electric energy from which she can shoot out a powerful laser beam, the suit stores enough for 3 such beams but she can also channel the bio-pulses into additional beams but doing so slows her enhanced relaxes and agility; The eye lenses she wears has several functions all controlled by a series of blinks, light enhancement, night vision, anti-glare, telescopic and magnifying; The staff she carries extends or contracts from 1 foot to 8 feet in length, it also holds enough energy from her bio-electric pulses to shoot 10 laser blasts. It also has various sensors and can be linked into a commuication setup to give the gear extra range. The staff is strong enough to used in combat as a weapon. Neena has been trained to pilot various aircraft, though is not considered a 'hotshot'.

He has been on many incarnations of the team, but has recently gone on an extended hiatus to explore other venues of his life. <br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/89/Jkhjygk.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Piotr is often classified as the quintessential gentle giant. He has vast power and strength, but often hesitates to use it in a fight or to harm others. He is very compassionate, even in regards to his enemy. Some have used this as an exploit against him. <br>While he has great resistance to temperature extremes of hot and cold, extreme heat followed by rapid super-cooling has been shown to cause extreme damage. He is vulnerable to the anti-metal vibranium in his metal form, his body instinctively shifting to human form when faced with a vibranium weapon. <br>Piotr is extremely powerful in his armored form, but vulnerable in his flesh form. While he is still stronger and in better physical condition than the average man, he isn’t superhuman. <br>He is vulnerable to telepathy and magnetism powers, the latter having been used against him a number of times. Including to force him to attack his own allies. <br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>It has been a number of months, almost a year since Piotr has been amongst the X-Men. He has been dealt many losses in his life, and he felt like he needed to step away from the misery and depression that had been weighing more and more on his mind. So he took a leave of absence, in order to pursue other ventures. He has mainly been working as an illustrator for a small independent website (one that specializes in the equality of all people). He has also taken some work as a substitute teacher, specializing in the arts and social sciences.&nbsp; </span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3e/CarolDanvers.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>MS.&nbsp; MARVEL</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong> Real Name:</strong> Carol Danvers<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> Ms Marvel<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Beta type Brawler-Powerhouse who is willing to try talking before going full out into a battle rush.</span></span><br><br><hr><br><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Carol is superhumanly strong and is typically able to lift about 70 tons.

Through it all she has seemed to retain a portion of all of them, though none of them quite as powerful as when she would have possessed it at it's peak. All of her powers are primarily manifested through her mind.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;First, she has a fairly potent grasp of telepathy - though not quite as broad in scope as Xavier or Jean Grey. She has the capability of creating small mental illusions in an individuals mind, as well as the ability to read people's thoughts and communicate telepathically at a moderate distance (less than 100 yards). <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Second she has a firm understanding of Telekinesis - though it is very focused in nature. While she does have the ability to push a person or large object around with significant force... she is not able to accomplish actions like carefully manuevering small objects skillfully. It's almost more of a reflexive surge that she can direct. She is also able to slightly modify her strength, speed, and agility with her mind (actually moving her own body). She has also shown the ability to teleport herself and others over short distances - though this expends a great amount of her energy to do so.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Finally she has the ability to physically manifest psionic energy into real concentrated matter. She is so skilled in this art that she can actually create dense psionic blades that can effortlessly penetrate a person's armor (without doing damage to it) and stun them with the psionic energy of her blade on the other side of it. The potency of this power has diminished somewhat though, and she can only maintain one weapon at a time, not dual wield anymore.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://x.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/i/mg/1/c0/4e98469f28473/detail.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Psylocke is a highly trained assassin, martial artist, and weapon duelist. She has been trained in several forms of martial arts and close quarters combat nearly rivaling the Black Widow in her ability and talent. She is an exceptional melee fighter and also has&nbsp; some training with sidearms and other ranged weapons. She usually doesn't carry much equipment on herself other than maybe a blade that she can enhance with her psionic energy. However, in her past her eyes were transplanted with cybernetic ones, which instantly adjust to any level of light - preventing her from being blinded. <br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Betsy was born with precognitive abilities and over her young years developed her affinity for telepathy into potent powers. Having started using her abilities at a very young age she quickly began using them for work - ditching her modeling career in favor of mutant aspirations. It didn't take long for her to realize her forte as a spy and informant and she was soon trained in hand to hand combat should the need for it arise. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Not too far into her life she was captured by Mojo and implanted with cybernetic eyes, which prevented her from being blinded but were also cameras Mojo could see through. He used her for several missions before she was rescued by the X-men - whom she stayed with to recover and also receive more training from. She spent a lengthy amount of time with the X-Men, helping them defeat several foes before she finally was pulled elsewhere.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Betsy hopped and skipped around different superhuman teams that benefitted from her widely-applicable skillset. On several of those stops Psylocke went through grand transformations where certain aspects of her power were greatly intensified to 'class five' levels. Eventually she always ended up reverting to her normal self, though she retained many of those exotic abilities in a more decreased aspect.<br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Psylocke's biggest weakness is her infatuation with her male teammates. Over the course of her life Betsy has had various relationships with men in her units - sometimes even telepathically manipulating them into being attracted to her. Her most notable relationships were with Tom Lennux, Cyclops, Archangel, and Sabertooth.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Though she is a powerful telepath and highly trained combatant - she can still be fatally wounded rather easily... having only a telekinetic shield to defend against powerful attacks (which will drain and fatigue her mind rapidly if she is forced to sustain that defense for more than several seconds).<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;TBD</span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/Punstarr/Thor-Movie-Chris-Hemsworth-5.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>THOR</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Thor Odinson<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> None<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Brawling God of War and Thunder</span></span><br><br><hr><br><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Thor is the son of a Skyfather and an Elder Goddess, and thus his body is more dense and far more resistant to injury than a mortal.&nbsp; His body is also resistant to temperature extremes and virtually immune to radiation and disease.&nbsp; Thor only physically ages one year for every 100 years.

Mjolnir can also absorb great amounts of energy that are directed at Thor as well as allow Thor to travel between worlds - such as from Midgard to Asgard and back.&nbsp; Only one who is worthy may lift Mjolnir.&nbsp; Physical strength is moot if an unworthy being attempts to lift it; even The Hulk has struggled to heft it at the peak of his strength.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/Punstarr/Blake1.jpg)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Thor is at least 2,000 years old. He is the son of the Skyfather of the Asgardians, Odin, and an Elder Goddess, Gaea, though she is known to Odin and Thor as Jord. Because he is a union of Asgard and Earth, he has powers far beyond the natural abilities of other Asgardians.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;When Thor was "eight", he was sent by his father to Nidavellir, the land of the dwarves, so that he could have a special weapon forged. This weapon was Mjolnir, which would one day become Thor's, but only after he had performed a number of good deeds. It was during the next ten years that Thor would strive to become worthy of the hammer, often foiling the plots of his foster-brother, Loki. Thor considers this one of the happiest periods of his life.&nbsp; When Thor was "eighteen", Thor finally earned the right to wield Mjolnir, when the young goddess Sif was captured by Storm Giants. Thor grabbed Mjolni and rushed to the Storm Giants' fortress. There he learned that the Storm Giant King had given Sif to Hela, in return for immortality. Thor rushed to rescue Sif, and volunteered to give up his own life for Sif's. Hela was so impressed by his selflessness, that she chose to release Thor and Sif.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Thor quickly rose in rank in Odin's army, and came to lead thousands of warriors. His prowess in battle led him to become overconfident and arrogant.&nbsp; During the age of Vikings, Thor was placed in mortal form by Odin, where Thor was known as Siegmund, and later Siegfreid. The legends of these heroes from Norse mythology were in fact based on Thor's exploits.&nbsp; Thor actively sought the worship of the Vikings, until he learned of the atrocities some of his more fanatical followers committed in his name. It was then that Thor allowed the worship of his race to die out.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In recent times, Odin learned that if Thor was not kept safe from harm for several years he would die. This would cause Ragnarok, the end of the world, to have a worse outcome than had been foretold, and no new race of gods would rise from the ashes.&nbsp; Odin chose to place Thor in the mortal form of Donald Blake, so that he would be safe, and he would also learn some measure of humility. This strategem was successful, but has caused Thor to become very attached to Earth, in part due to his mother.&nbsp; Thor no longer has a mortal form, per say, though he does use the identity of Blake Donaldson when he does not wish to be readily recognized as the god of thunder.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Over the past few years, Thor has done many things for Midgard and it's mortal inhabitants, serving as a protector in times of need.&nbsp; Odin dislikes that Thor splits his attention between Asgard and Midgard, but allows his son to do what he must, for now.<br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Thor fears becoming weak and unable to help those that he feels need his protection.&nbsp; He fears for his father, Odin, who is vulnerable once a year during the Odinsleep.&nbsp; Despite all the lessons he has learned, he can still show signs of overconfidence, especially in battle.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Thor has been defending the realm of Asgard from the threat of Ymir and his frost giants and now returns to his beloved Midgard to find it all but conquered by a nefarious villain!&nbsp; What has become of his friends and allies, the Avengers?&nbsp; How could so terrible a thing have happened so quickly?</span></span></span></div><br><hr><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4378/xmenl35.jpg)</div><br><hr><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 20pt;" class="bbc_size">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>ROGUE</strong></span></span><br><hr><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Real Name:</strong> Anna Marie<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Known Aliases:</strong> Rogue<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Role:</strong> Brawler, Pilot, Command</span></span><br><br><hr><br><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Powers and Abilities:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Rogue's primary defining consists of the draining of the life energy, powers and memories of anyone she touches.&nbsp; She has no control over this power; it comes without an off-switch. She is incredibly tough and resistant to injuries, possesses&nbsp; super strength and stamina as well as the ability to fly. She can withstand great impact, blasts and falls, and to a lesser extent: bullets, poisons and shifts in temperature.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Rogue has had the benefit of training with the X-men which included a wide array of training scenarios. Specific, extensive training has focused on: martial arts, strategy, leadership and survival. Rogue is also an expert pilot who at times operates the blackbird for the X-men. <br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/1771/rogue5.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Rogue grew up in Caldecott, Mississippi. When her mutant abilities manifested her childhood sweetheart Cody was hospitalized as a result. Guilt ridden, Rogue ran away from her home to be taken in by Mystique from the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. At Mystique's instigation Rogue permanently absorbed the powers and memories of another super hero; an action which later came back to haunt her. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;For the second time in her life Rogue ran away. She was taken in by Professor Xavier who helped her deal with the trauma the event had caused. Rogue gave up her former life and dedicated her powers to Xavier's ideals and benefit of human- and mutant kind. Rogue now despises the evil Mystique had wrought and believes the woman only cared for her because of her powers. This makes her relationship with her adopted brother, Nightcrawler, an ambiguous one. While Rogue cares for Kurt and empathizes with him, he also represents an episode in her life she'd rather forget.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;During her time with the X-men Rogue forged friendships with many of her team mates: Jean and Storm in particular, but also with Wolverine and Beast. She is often seen as a mentor to younger mutants and is highly protective of them.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Rogue has an on/off relationship with Gambit, and although she wants to smack him on the head more often than not, there is just no denying the Cajun means the world to her. Since she cannot ever touch him she keeps trying to push him away. And if that isn't enough to hamper any relationship, the duo is plagued by trust issues. Rogue suspects Gambit hasn't been entire straightforward about his past -the Morlock incident as one example - and she too carries her own set of demons. <br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Rogue cannot touch another human being without draining their powers and energy. This makes her very uncertain in relationships, especially where Gambit is concerned, her one true love. She is constantly reminded of what she cannot have by those around her (Scott and Jean as a prime example). As a result she sometimes turns away from her friends to battle the green eyed monster on her own.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Rogue had been on a mission to California for the X-men when Apocalypse's attack shook the world. She immediately notified Charles Xavier and -based upon her report- it was decided that Rogue would stay in LA for now to aid the survivors. While Rogue is worried for her fellow X-mem she has pushed those worries to the back of her mind to devote her efforts to the survival of innocent people in LA, and fighting Apocalypse' forces.</span></span></div></div>

It has no will, but is bonded with Streak's nervous system. Streak can mentally command it to change it's physical shape to mimic any clothing or costume that he desires. Being a part of him, the costume has taken on some of the properties of Streak's powers, such as Invulnerability and resistance to the elements. Note that this does not confer any additional protection to Streak. It merely ensures that his costume is as hard to damage as the man himself is. When not needed, the eufiber retreats into Streak's body, dissapated until called forth. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br><br>Kevin Tyler was born in Seattle, Washington on the planet Earth in a dimension quite similar to Marvel Earth, and yet quite different as well. His world was home to it's own superheroes, albeit different than the ones you, true believer may be familiar with. Kevin's birth year was 1974, and he grew up one of 3 brothers in the culturally rich district of Ballard, his family of a heavy Scandanavian descent... his parents weren't rich, but not in abject poverty either. He had some nice things growing up, but was not even close to being spoiled. He and his brothers graduated high school within the same 4 years, and Kevin's goal was to become a police officer. However, as so often is the case in stories such as this, things didn't quite work out as planned.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Kevin planned to train at the academy after taking the summer off... he and his girlfriend had gone to a Seahawks game and were driving home one night in her car when a weasely man stopped them at gunpoint and told them to get out of the car. Kevin got out and tried to wrestle the gun away from the man, while telling his girlfriend to take off and go for help. As she drove off in a panic, the man pistol whipped Kevin on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. Little did Kevin know, the man was connected and was quite desperate. Sam Geral had gotten himself in over his head with the local mafia, and was marked for death if he didn't do a job... go out and grab a healthy "volunteer" within one hour and bring him back to their pharmacuetical research facility. Thus was Kevin brought before these shady "doctors" and Sam Geral was murdered for his efforts.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; When Kevin awoke, he was strapped to a table with an IV in his arm. He was told that he was the test subject of a new kind of poison, meant to kill a healthy man within seconds and leave no trace of any foreign substance for an autopsy to find. Despite his shouts of protest, he was injected with the poison as his murderers watched in rapt fascination. Kevin did not die, however... in fact, the poison would indeed have killed a normal man, but instead, the trauma triggered his latent mutant genes, and his powers erupted in a spectacular fashion. Tearing himself free with ridiculous ease, Kevin made short work of his captors. The destruction attracted the attention of the police, who had been trying to find him after his girlfriend had contacted them... they arrived in time to save most of the criminals' lives, and to take Kevin into protective custody.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Kevin was of course frightened and in shock, but fortunately for him, there were programs run by existing superhumans to help new blood to learn how to use their powers responsibly. He was adopted into Seattle's premier supergroup, the Defenders and he took the moniker of Streak. He quickly befriended a wisecracking super speedster named Bolt, and their friendship grew over the years. Streak came to be well loved by the public of Earth... he helped to save the world too many times to count, and for once he was truly happy. He could help people, but on such a larger scale than as a cop. That all changed one fateful day when without warning, a pale, gaunt creature calling himself the Grim Reaper attacked the Defenders' HQ. He was utterly merciless, and slaughtered the heroes like cattle before his deadly touch... nothing they dished out seemed to even scratch this silent being, and all seemed lost. Streak had landed blow after blow on the Grim Reaper, all for naught... knocked back, Kevin looked up to see the deadly being standing over the terrified form of Bolt, reaching out to deliver the icy embrace of death to his friend. Giving a shout of pure panic and rage, Streak flew in a blur to intercept the Reaper, locking hands with him... suddenly they were both enveloped in a bright light, and in a flash, they were gone. The few surviving Defenders saw the Earth's greatest hero sacrifice himself... they could only assume him to be dead.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/Punstarr/StreakLineArt1color.jpg)</div>&nbsp; &nbsp; <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">From Streak's perspective however, the bright flash subsided, and the Reaper was nowhere to be found. A bleak landscape stretched out before him, and he heard a voice... faint but very clear. It told him that he had been chosen to be a guardian to the multiverse. He would never call any world, any dimension home... instead he would be taken where and when he was needed, to protect the lives of the innocent, to fight injustice... to keep the forces of evil and corruption in check, never knowing when he would be transported to his next destination. He would be a beacon of light in the darkest times, and wholly removed from the cycle of life and death... immortal but unable to concieve. Thus did Streak begin his journey, and did indeed fight many evils in that world, before he was taken to the next, and the next, and the next. Sometimes he stayed in one world for mere hours, sometimes he stayed more than a century... for several thousand years (possibly more, possibly less... he finds it difficult to keep track) he has been a traveller, all the while becoming more and more hardened. He has loved and lost many times, each time more painful than the last... now he rarely even lets people get too close, for fear of the hurt when he either outlives them or is taken away. Yet through it all, he remains steadfast in his belief that he exists for the greater good. He is weary but he fights on... after all, he has little choice. He is Streak. He is a force of the Universe. Evil beware.<br><br><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br><br>Epilepsy: Due to an old injury, when confronted with bright, flashing strobe like lights he can fall into a brief epileptic stun.<br><br>Reduced Senses: Due to the experiment which originally gave him his powers, Streak possesses absolutely no sense of smell or taste.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>Streak has not yet come to Marvel earth, but he will arrive shortly, taken there by whatever force he is unwittingly beholden to.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </span></span></span></span></div></div>

While the majority of the instructors' curriculums were simplified for training the Allied Forces, it is possible that they trained Rogers in the more complex techniques because his body was already developed for them and because the majority of his combat knowledge (including his gymnastic-based techniques) was already established prior to his awakening by the Avengers. As a result, Rogers is well versed in Boxing, Judo, Jujitsu, Historical Fencing and Wushu. It is also possible and likely that he studied more disciplines in the present after being discovered by the Avengers and working for S.H.I.E.L.D. but it has yet to be proven. He has utilized all martial arts techniques from physical combat to chi manipulation. Rogers is one of the finest martial artist earth has ever known. <br><strong>Master Shield Fighter: </strong> His years of training and experience with his unique shield, as well as its physical properties, allow him to accomplish amazing feats with the item. Aside from bashing foes and blocking incoming attacks, he is able to throw it with nearly perfect aim. Rogers can hit multiple targets with the same throw by means of ricochet, and could even achieve a boomerang-like return effect, allowing him to strike enemies from behind or retrieve the shield without objects to ricochet from.<br><strong>Master Tactician and Strategist:</strong> He is an accomplished strategist. He had been widely considered one of, if not the greatest, tacticians on the planet, both on and off the battlefield. He is able to formulate battle strategies and his brilliant tactical sense allows him to alter any strategy to fit the changing need of the situation. <br>Advanced Military Operator: Rogers is well-versed in all Armed force disciplines including intelligence gathering, escape arts, assassination, demolition, survival tactics, hunting, swimming, mountaineering, march or drill skills, map making, map reading, decoding cipher and other secret code messages, reading and making wood craft signs and other secret code languages, disguising, interrogation, computers, explosives, communication systems, vehicles and electronic appliances used in armed forces. <br><strong>Master Acrobat: </strong> His years of training and experience have made him an expert acrobat, gymnast, and aerialist. <br>Indomitable Will: Rogers is a very strong-willed person. He is able to overcome most forms of temptation and resist the effects of extreme pain, drugs and toxins to a great extent. Rogers accepts his own mortality, and refuses to rob any sentient creature of its freedom. During the Forever War, he destroyed the Forever Crystal, deciding it was too dangerous to exist, despite the many benefits of its power. Rogers is also capable of resisting all forms of mind control; only the strongest willed individuals have a chance of enslaving him. <br><strong>Professional Sketch Artist: </strong> He has great artistic skill which he developed from childhood. He often worked as a freelance illustrator and sketch artist even loaning his skills to the NYPD for a time. Rogers enjoys drawing and does so with his free time.<br><strong>Expert Marksman:</strong> Rogers can throw most projectile weaponry with great aim and is well-versed in the use of firearms, though he prefers not to use them. <br><strong>Weapons Proficiency:</strong> He does not typically utilize weapons other than his shield, but in desperate situations he wields additional weapons to ensure victory. He is proficient in wielding swords, daggers, throwing knifes, staffs, sticks, tonfa, axes, maces and clubs and even firearms. <br><strong>Multi-lingual:</strong> Rogers is fluent in English, German, Russian, Japanese, and some Italian. He might be lingual in other languages. <br><strong>Expert Vehicular driver:</strong> He is proficient in driving cars, motor cycles, Trucks, jets, Tanker, helicopters, motor boats, sub marines, and some types of trains and utility vehicles.<br>The Super-Soldier Serum (SSS) metabolized and enhanced all of Rogers' bodily functions to the peak of human potential. Dr. Reinstein described this potential as being "the next step in human evolution", while still remaining completely human. The secret of the SSS formula was lost with Dr. Erskine's death.<br><strong>Artificially Enhanced Physiology:</strong> Rogers has no superhuman powers, although as a result of the Super-Soldier serum, he was transformed from a frail young man into a "perfect" specimen of human development and conditioning. Rogers is as intelligent, strong, fast, agile, and durable as it was possible for a human being to be without being considered superhuman. Although the SSS is definite, he maintains an overall healthy lifestyle including a regular exercise regimen and a balanced diet.<br><strong>Peakhuman Strength: </strong> Rogers' physical strength is enhanced to the very peak of human potential. As a result, he is as physically strong as a human being can be without being classified as superhuman. Captain America had been seen bench pressing 500 kg (1,200 lbs) which is consistent with his strength level, as benching is easier than military press lifting. He can snap steel handcuffs and chains, and is capable of breaking through wooden walls and steel doors with a single kick.<br><strong>Peakhuman Speed:</strong> He can run at speeds of up to approximately 48 kilometers per hour (30 miles per hour), and has on occasion run a mile when under duress mile (1.6 km) in 73 seconds (49 mph/78 kph).). <br>Peakhuman Stamina: Rogers' body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing chemicals in his muscles, granting him exceptional endurance and lung capacity. He can exert himself at peak capacity for a hour without any rest and before showing any signs of fatigue.<br><strong>Peakhuman Agility:</strong> His agility is greater than that of an Olympic gold medalist.He can coordinate his body with balance,flexibility, and dexterity. He also has the ability to leap 50 yards out in a single bound and 20 ft into the air without a running start.<br><strong>Peakhuman Reflexes:</strong> Rogers' reflexes border on superhuman level. His reaction speed is 20 kph, which makes it possible for him to dodge gunfire even in point blank range from multiple gunners at the same time. <br>Peakhuman Durability: His bones and muscles are denser and harder than normal, to the highest human potential, which makes him very durable compared to a normal human. He is durable enough to the point that if a person beats him with a thick wooden stick, the stick would eventually break and Rogers would show little discomfort. This level of durability is how he survived other forms of extensive punishment throughout his career such as falls from several stories like when he landed on a car from 200 feet with no discomfort.<br><strong>Peak Human Healing:</strong> Rogers' healing speed and efficiency is at the highest limits of human potential, which means he can heal faster than most humans. The white blood cells (WBCs) and the SSS in his body are efficient enough to fight off any microbe, foreign body and others from his body keeping him healthy and immune to most if not all infections, diseases and disorders, also Rogers cannot become intoxicated by alcohol, drugs, or impurities in the air and is immune to terrestrial diseases. He is also highly resistant to hypnosis or gases that could limit his focus.<br><strong>Peak Human Mental Process:</strong> His mental performance has been greatly enhanced, allowing his mind to operate in the most efficient and rapid manner possible. One manifestation of this is his tactical genius; the ability to quickly process multiple information streams (e.g., threat assessment) and rapidly respond to changing tactical situations. Rogers also possesses an eidetic memory, meaning that he never forgets anything and has perfect recall. This enables him to remember any military tactic and apply it to any situation.<br><strong>Peakhuman Senses:</strong> Rogers' senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are at the highest possible limits of human potential. He once said that he is able to dodge bullets because he sees faster than them. <br><strong>Peak Human Longevity</strong> The SSS dramatically slows Roger's aging due to extensively healthy cells. Sersi once stated because of this it is possible that he may indefinitely maintain his youth.This would presumably also include Isaiah Bradley and Josiah X, two others exposed to the Super Soldier Serum. This is true in the case of Isaiah Bradley, who has been shown to be in peak physical condition for someone being between 60 and 70 years old. <br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>Captain America's only weapon is his shield, a concave disk 2.5 feet in diameter, weighing 12 pounds. It is made of a unique Vibranium-steel alloy that has never been duplicated. The Shield was cast by American metallurgist Dr. Myron MacLain, who was contracted by the U.S. government to create an impenetrable substance to use for tanks during World War II. During his experiments, MacLain combined Vibranium with an steel alloy he was working with and created the disc-shaped shield. MacLain was never able to duplicate the process due to his inability identify a still unknown catalyst that played a role in the metal bonding (an experiment to recreate the process resulted in the creation of Adamantium). The shield was awarded to Captain America by the government several months after the beginning of his career.<br>The shield has great aerodynamic properties: it is able to slice through the air with minimal wind resistance and deflection of path. Its great overall resilience, combined with its natural concentric stiffness, enables it to rebound from objects with minimal loss of angular momentum. It is virtually indestructible: it is resistant to penetration, temperature extremes, and the entire electromagnetic spectrum of radiation. The only way it can be damaged in any way is by tampering with its molecular bonding.<br>Uniform: As Captain America he wears a water and fire retardant costume, which is made of kevlar, nomex and light weight titanium. The costume also offers a medium level of resistance to electric shocks and force impacts i.e., falls from 30 mts height and The suit cannot be pierced by normal conventional sharp edged materials like sharp wood, glass, iron, copper and aluminum. The suit also gives some resistance to high temperatures. He carries a voice-operated, wireless communicator in his left ear, which has its frequencies blocked making it highly difficult to trace its call.<br>Utility Belt: Rogers wears a utility belt containing mission-specific equipment such as a first aid kit(containing tweezers, antiseptic gel coated band aids, bone and muscle pain reliever spray cans and antidotes for some toxins.) and others.<br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>Steven Rogers was born July 4, 1922, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City, to poor Irish immigrants, Sarah and Joseph Rogers.&nbsp; Joseph Rogers died when Steve was only a child and his mother, Sarah, died of pneumonia while Steve was a teen. By early 1940, before America's entry into World War II, Rogers is a tall but scrawny fine arts student specializing in illustration, and a comic book writer and artist, a career he willingly set aside upon his transformation into Captain America. Despite some forays into graphics, Steve Rogers never created another character.<br>Disturbed by the rise of the Third Reich, Rogers attempts to enlist, only to be rejected due to his physically frail body. His resolution however allows him to be noticed by U.S. Army General Chester Phillips and "Project: Rebirth." Rogers is used as a test subject for the Super-Soldier project, receiving a special serum made by "Dr. Josef Reinstein", a code name for the scientist Abraham Erskine.<br>Erskine refused to write down every crucial element of the treatment, leaving behind a flawed, imperfect knowledge of the needed steps. Thus, when the Nazi spy Heinz Kruger killed him, Erskine's method of creating new Super-Soldiers died as well. Captain America, in his first act after his transformation, avenges Erskine.<br>Unable to create new Super-Soldiers, and willing to hide the Project Rebirth fiasco, the American government casts the now-powerful Rogers as a patriotic superhero, able to counter the menace of the Red Skull as a counter-intelligence agent. As such, he's supplied with a patriotic uniform (designed by Rogers himself) a bulletproof shield, a personal side arm, and the codename Captain America, while Steve Rogers himself poses as a clumsy infantry private at Camp Lehigh in Virginia. He forms a friendship with the camp's teenage mascot, James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes.<br>Eventually Barnes learns of Rogers' dual identity and offers to keep the secret if he can become Captain America's sidekick, being trained himself to act as the perfect partner. During their adventures, Franklin D. Roosevelt presents Captain America with a new shield, forged from an alloy of steel and vibranium, fused by an unknown catalyst, so effective that it replaces his own firearm.<br>In late April 1945, during the closing days of World War II, Captain America and Bucky try to stop the villainous Baron Zemo from destroying an experimental drone plane. Zemo launches the plane with an armed explosive on it, Rogers and Barnes in hot pursuit. The pair reach the plane just before take off. When Bucky tries to defuse the bomb, it explodes in mid-air. The young man is believed killed. Rogers is hurled into the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. Neither is found, and both are presumed dead. It is later revealed that neither character actually died.<br>Years later, the superhero team the Avengers discovers Steve Rogers' body in the North Atlantic, the Captain's uniform under his soldier's fatigues and still carrying his shield. After he revives, they piece together that Rogers had been preserved in a block of ice since 1945, surviving in such a state only because of his enhancements from Operation: Rebirth. Rogers accepts membership in the Avengers, and although long out of his time, his considerable experience both in individual combat service and his time with the Invaders makes him a valuable asset to the team. He quickly assumes leadership, and has typically returned to that position throughout the team's history.</span></span></div>

Frost has been cited as a "World-class telepath". As a result of undergoing a body-wide secondary mutation, Frost now possesses the ability to transform her body into a flexible organic diamond form. In many ways, this is similar to Colossus' organic steel form. She must transform all parts of her body, rather than selectively transforming certain areas and can remain in this form for an undetermined amount of time. If she is rendered unconscious, Frost's body will automatically transform into its normal state. This transformation also alters Frost's personality, causing her to become rather cold-hearted and to lose her empathy for others. Emma does not have access to her telepathy while in her diamond form.<br><br>In her diamond form, Frost's physical strength is increased to superhuman levels. At her peak, she is able to lift approximately 2 tons. While transformed, Frost's muscle tissue becomes infinitely more efficient than the organic musculature of normal humans, or most other organic beings for that matter. Her muscles produce almost no fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting her almost limitless superhuman stamina, or at least until or unless she is forced to resume her normal state. <br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Emma Frost is an above average athlete and has had some training in hand-to-hand combat. During a training session in which Emma did not have access to her powers, Banshee attempted to make an example of her. Emma quickly, efficiently, and easily dispatched Banshee, much to his embarrassment.<br>Emma Frost is highly skilled in electronic theory and electronics and has learned how to build devices that can amplify psionic energy and utilize psionic energy for various effects.<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>Emma Grace Frost was a leading member of an old Boston mercantile family, which arrived from England in the 1600s. The second of three daughters, Emma also had an older brother, named Christian Frost, who had turned to substance abuse as an escape from the drudgery of his life. Emma was always considered the black sheep of the family.<br>She went to boarding school and was very unpopular and ended up having a affair with her teacher. Emma`s telepathic powers manifested and she was put in a mental institution by her family. Emma used her powers to escape, she quickly lived out on the streets of New York and eventfully made her way into the Hellfire Club. Emma rose from&nbsp; dancer to the White Queen when Sebastian Shaw realised she was infact a mutant. Emma became hooked on drugs and drink. She had affairs with men such as Tony Stark and Namor . Eventually she came into contact with the X-men and fought them.<br>Emma opened up her own school with her students the Hellions. Tragically they were mostly killed, Emma ended up in the care of Charles Xavier. He ended up trusting her to teach his younger students with Sean Cassidy. Emma gained the trust of&nbsp; Xmen and eventually became a teacher at the main school. While there she dealt with her secondary mutation and an expansion of her powers. She started an affair with Scott Summers who was married to Jean Grey at the time. When jean was killed Scott and Emma officially started dating and she became headmistress of the School.<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://ent.timedg.com/attachement/jpg/site1/2011-05-31/1411033267950435192.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br><br>While in her normal state, Frost has all the physical frailties and vulnerabilities any ordinary human has. While she is much stronger and more durable in her diamond form, her body can be shattered if she were to be hit in a certain area that has a flaw, much as an actual diamond will. Also, while in her diamond form, Frost is unable to access her telepathic abilities.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>Emma was with her boyfriend Scott Summers when the attack started. She is helping to recruit young mutants across the globe and bring them to Charles Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters.

Through ritual magic, many powerful things can be done. <br><br><em>Rituals</em><br><br><strong>Sciatháin na Preachán</strong> (Wings of The Crow) - <br>This is the ritual version, to properly complete this she will have to have several components. She will have to have time to complete a circle of power, a sacrifice of her own blood, and ten crows feathers. These will be combined to create a stronger, longer lasting, set of wings. Strongest on the New Moon, as that is the moon phase closely associated with The Morrigan (The Crow Goddess). If performed normally, the wings will last a few days, if performed on a New Moon a week or so at most, if Performed on Samhain they will last a few months.<br><br><strong>Gheataí Tír Na nÓg</strong> (Gateways of Tir Na Nog)-<br>This is a mass 'transportation' spell, but it has as&nbsp; many bonuses as there are downsides. A sacrifice of blood from each wishing to travel, a sacrifice of something precious (either possession or memory of something), as well as a vow of abstaining. The circle must be cast, and each has to enter the circle, to enter the gateway. If the circle is broken, or the circle is defiled, the spell could backfire with massive downsides. <br><br>This spell opens a gateway to the realm of the Celtic Gods, the hallways and gateways that can be used to traverse worlds. The sacrifice of blood, is to show that you are serious. It will require only a small bit, to be applied on the 'catalyst' for the circle (which will likely be a stone). The Sacrifice of something special, whether a possession or a memory, is to pacify the realm you are entering. The Vow to abstain, is a vow to not eat or drink of anything in that realm. Because to drink or eat of 'Fairy Fare' will permanently lock you in their realm (unless you can make a deal).<br><br><strong>Téigh go dtí Saol</strong> - (Bring to Life)<br>This is a VERY powerful ritual, that Morrigan will teach Retribution (eventually, when Admins are ready), that will make Retribution capable of bringing ONE person back to life. It will require many components and items in effect. It can ONLY be performed on Samhain or Lammas. The soul of the person has to agree to return. The body must be in full condition. Other components are needed, such as crystals and a perfectly formed circle. This will cost Retribution a lot, and she will be unable to cast spells or rituals for three months.<br><br><strong>Tadhaill Maighdean Ar</strong> - (Maiden's Touch)<br>This is a powerful Ritual, where Retribution can apply a 'mark' to the people she is protecting. This mark, will be a catalyst for her to reach them if they are in need of help. The ritual requires a blood bonding, and a full moon. If not performed on a full moon, she has no ability to reach them quickly when needed. If it is performed on a full moon, she has the ability to 'teleport' to them using the connection. In reality it's just using a weaker version of Gheataí Tír Na nÓg, which will only transport her. It's also similar to a 'tracking' beacon, so if they are close by she can just fly to them using the spell or ritual version of Sciatháin na Preachán.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ambient Magic: This is a more dangerous form of magic, it does not require incantations. This draws on the natural energies around her, and inside of her own body. It is a less refined form of magic, based on pure natural energy. <br><br><em>Spells</em><br><strong>Tadhaill Cneasaithe</strong> (Healing Touch) - <br>Retribution is capable of laying her hands upon a person, and healing a non-fatal wound. Contact is required, as this is a 'healing touch'. Stronger than Teocht Cneasaithe, since it involves direct contact and energy use.<br><br><strong>teocht cneasaithe</strong> (Healing Warmth/Temperature) -<br>Retribution exudes an aura that heals those in the vicinity around her. This is not something she can be selective with, unless she applies someones <em>true</em> name into the incantation. Weaker than Tadhaill Cneasaithe, since it involves spreading out her energy in a wider array. <br><br><strong>Laochra Tadhaill</strong> (Warriors Touch) - <br>Retribution can lay her hands upon an ally, and increase their fighting capabilities. It will not make them a better fighter, but will increase their ability to last out a fight. This will also increase their natural capabilities; speed, strength, balance... etc. Stronger than Laochra Tease, as it is a direct versus passive.<br><br><strong>Laochra Teas</strong> (Warriors Warmth) -<br>Retribution exudes an aura that increases the fighting abilities of those around her. This is not something she can be selective with, unless she applies someones <em>true</em> name into the incantation. Weaker than Laochra Tadhaill, because it is passive - and aura based - versus direct. <br><br><strong>Fuinneamh Bíge</strong> (Energy Pulse) - <br>Retribution uses this incantation to produce a pulse of energy. This can be focused further, with clarifying incantation components, to target someone in particular, or just use a wave that knocks aggressors (towards her) off their feet. The stronger the opponent, the more energy she will have to use to knock them over.<br><br><strong>Oíche na Péine Endless {or}&nbsp; Nox'Excrucio</strong>&nbsp; (Night of Endless Pain) - <br>Retribution uses this spell to call upon a persons darkest fears. The name is a bit deceiving, as it doesn't last a whole night. But it seems that once the spell fades, it has lasted for ages. The spell draws on the 'darkness' (Night) of a persons mind, and the Pain is drawn from the fears made reality upon her opponent. This spell requires extreme focus to cast properly. The stronger an opponents mind, the harder it will be for them to be effected. <br><br>Nox'Excrucio is the Latin version, where as Oíche na Péine Endless is the Irish Gaelic. If she needs to perform it quickly, she will use Nox'Excrucio (and it will be invariably weaker than the other version).<br><br><br><strong>Thoghairm Lann</strong> (Summon Blade) - <br>Though it says 'summon', in the reality of it it's just an incantation to manifest a blade. She must have the image of the blade, in her mind, and the energy to summon it. <br><br><strong>Anáil na Beatha</strong> (Breath of Life) - <br>Retribution can use this spell, only if she can come in contact with another person. She uses the incantation to gather 'life' into her lungs, a form of energy that can be used for healing major wounds. It requires she kisses the person who has 'fallen', and she pushes the 'life' into their being. Thus giving them the 'breath of life'. <br><br><strong>Bain Cúrsaí</strong> (Remove CurseSeal) - <br>Retribution can use this to remove a curse from another person, or herself. If a curse is in place. This includes 'seals' that are restricting someone. This is a highly complicated spell, and it requires someone sharing their <em>true</em> name with her. <br><br><strong>Sciatháin na Preachán</strong> (Wings of The Crow) - <br>Retribution can use this spell to manifest a pair of crows wings, this can only be used for short distance flights. They dissolve as soon as they have been released, but she can only use them for a maximum amount of thirty minutes. This is the spell version, there is a ritual version.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Morrigan's Touch: <br>This marking is a tattoo that appeared on her body after a vision. Labeled 'Morrigan's Touch', it showed that she had been chosen by Morrigan. Through the touch, Ciera is able to draw upon visions, memories, and knowledge of Morrigan herself - specifically in the areas of magic and combat, though other areas are sometimes shared. Ciera is also capable of seeing the souls of those who have passed. Through certain Rituals, she is even capable of helping these trapped souls pass on.<br><em>Enhanced Physical Traits:</em> <br>Her senses are acutely enhanced. She can smell, see, hear, and taste, things that she previously couldn't. Her reflexes and natural graces are also increased by her Fae nature as well, as well as heightened strength, speed, and balance.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ciera has been raised according to Druidic beliefs. It is something her family has believed in for many <em>many</em> generations. They have passed on the knowledge of druidic ancestors through word of mouth; their songs, their rituals, the passing of the seasons. This training is what taught her the basics of her Ritual based magics. No one in her family has unlocked any true magic in a <em>very</em> long time. Their bloodline had thinned out too much, and not many faced such a situation as the serum known as 'Judgement'. This knowledge was mostly just handed-down rituals, incantations, the knowledge of the Gaelic Language, as well as the knowledge that encompassed the worship of the Ancients, the Gods and the mythologies of their people. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Other Training Ciera has, is the completion of four years of college. She specialized in Ancient cultures, and also spent time learning two languages. She was raised on Gaelic, and is fluent in both the Irish and Scottish Dialect. She unfortunately has yet to learn the Norwegian Dialect. The other languages she knows are Latin, and Russian<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She was trained in basic hand to hand self-defense, as well as some wrestling techniques. She can use a dagger rather well, and knows how to handle a bow; she's no Hawkeye, but she's good at it... for a 'human'.<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ciera Morrigan Baine was born on the 21st of December, right as her mother and father were getting prepared for the 'Midwinter' Festival that the family held every year. She was born the middle child of nine, all of her siblings being boys. It was an interesting way to grow up, she learned to be competitive from her male relatives. She was never much of a girl, despite her aunts and female cousins attempts. Her mother had never been much of a girl either, so they figured that was where it came from.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ciera's parents moved to America when they were just freshly married. They loved the country so much, they got citizen ship. A few months later, they had their first pair of twins. Two years later, another child was born. This was the pattern they followed, until Ciera and her twin brother Derrick were born. Then there was a year of separation between the remaining children. It made for quite a large family, especially with there only being one female child. A female child that constantly got hurt, and into trouble for trying to compete with the boys. She succeeded on many of her attempts. Much to the chagrin of the males in her family. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;From the time she could walk and talk, her family began training her in the old ways. She was told about the Ancestry her mothers family believed they had. Her mothers maternal line, believed they were descended from a female child of Morrigan. Hence why every so often, a female child was given some form of the name. Ciera happened to get it as her middle name. As time went on, it was believed to just be a story, how wrong they would turn out to be. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She had a pretty normal childhood, she didn't really get into relationships much. She believed in 'saving' herself, for when their family found another group that has as strong of a tie to the old ways as them. She is still a virgin, yes, at the age of 30. She has taken on the role of 'maiden' in her family. Her mother being the 'mother', and her grandmother the 'crone'. Her youth was normal, so was her life all through college. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Then her family decided to take a group vacation, a vacation that would change the course of their lives forever. They made the choice of a giant 'reunion'. Where the direct family members, their spouses, children, and closest friends, would fly to a location to all gather. They picked Beunos Aires, and that was a large mistake. Actually, it wouldn't have mattered where they were, their lives would have been changed anyways. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;When the darkness rose, and Apocalypse struck, their entire group was swept up into one of the camps. Ciera and her family was forced to watch the process of injections, on each other. She was then forced to see the subsequent deaths that happened. Each day she survived...was a day she wondered why she was still alive, why she was watching her family die. She was unaware that a handful in her group survived, some of the spouses and some of the family friends that had come. She is not aware that most of them either vanished, or decided to turn over to the side of evil. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Her body changed, the serum called 'Judgement' ripped open genetics buried in her bloodline. When she started to change she had a dream, where a woman in a feathered cloak(who she assumed to be morrigan) appeared to her. The woman touched her over her womb, and a crow flew from her fingertip on to the girls skin. When she awakened she found the same mark upon her flesh. She also discovered some odd changes in her body, as well as other things she would have never expected. Some of the incantations... she had been raised with... taught her whole life... actually started to have <em>effects</em><br><br><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Her magic requires a certain level of focus, and energy. Either way, she can only produce a spell as strong as the energy or focus being 'used' for the spell. If she is doing a larger ritual, like say a summoning or a banishing, if a single thing is out of place... the entire spell could backfire on her. Since she has no real training in ambient magic, it is more chaotic and dangerous. It's just as likely to hurt her or her allies as it is the enemy. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;One of the other weaknesses is tied to the tattoo. Occasionally Ciera will receive a vision from Morrigan so powerful that her tattoo will flare with burning energy, possibly igniting the clothing she is wearing. During these potent visions, her voice is not her own, nor are her thoughts. If she tries to fight the vision she experiences sharp, disorienting pain. They basically render her completely vulnerable - but the information she gleans usually makes up for this debilitation. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;And if that is all not enough, all of her magic slowly eats away at her lifespan. The more potent or far-reaching-effect of the magic, the more heavily it taxes her. She also suffers from post-traumatic stress, related to events in her past.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She has one surviving older brother, she is not aware that he survived. He was not with the group when they were snatched (As his wife and child were ill at the time), so thus was not at the same 'camp'. She is not aware he is alive, as she has lost contact with him. She is currently in one of the Serum Camps, and still trying to figure out the changes in her body. Learning her magic, and trying to stay alive. Due to the personal touch of Morrigan - the mind-control effect of the Serum has been banished or otherwise suppressed, allowing Ceira to pursue her own agenda... or Morrigan's.</span></span></div>

Time may not be what enemies have when fighting him for the mutant can self-destruct anytime and anywhere. The level of devastation caused by his explosions depends on the time he spends building explosive potential. The more time he has to charge, the deadlier and larger the explosion. The explosive philosophy that surrounds his existence also manifests within his abilities. His every strike can be charged to blow an enemy's head right off his shoulders upon contact. His opponent's resilience being the only determinant whether they would survive a round with the Demolisher or not. His explosive energy can be applied to his physical capabilities, allowing him to perform superhuman feats such as lifting objects that weigh a ton (only briefly), leaping great heights, inhuman dexterity, and speed.<br>&nbsp;<br>The Judgment serum converted Hendricks's insides into energy so chaotic that his body was forced to adapt to the new conditions or erupt. His muscles are thick and sturdy, built to contain his burden, although the energy is more than eager to escape any chance it gets. The serum has given Hendricks two forms: Normal and Live. Normal explains his usual human appearance in which he can perform his inhuman feats; and Live is a form Hendricks takes when he plans to use his energy for detonation purposes. In his live appearance, his eyes seep with yellow energy and his veins will light up, gleaming down his arms and legs, and up to his neck. Within his mouth, it looks like a bright furnace.<br>&nbsp;<br>Besides being an explosive, using his Live form, Hendricks can absorb the explosions of devices or as a result of another mutant's abilities. If the bomb is small enough, he could also physically consume the explosive device without consequence or even indigestion. This makes him essential for disposing of lethal explosives. In live form, Hendricks is immune to any form of explosion. He also cannot be harmed without his opponent harming him or herself.<br>&nbsp;<br><em>Further information is explained in "Strengths and Weaknesses."</em><br>&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp;<br>Hendricks has Special Forces combat training. He is proficient with most militaristic weapons and has worked with explosives from C4 to grenades. From his experience running operations, Hendricks has been able to forge his own style of self-defense that best works with his combat philosophy. His style is designed to quickly disable his opponent so that he can keep on moving.<br>&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp;<br>Hendricks had just returned from an operation overseas and was stationed at Miramar, awaiting the confirmation of his leave when Apocalypse's minions attacked. The Marine was on guard duty when the base collapsed into chaos. Several Marines were killed in the invasion, while the survivors were captured and taken to a lab to be experimented on. Hendricks was forced to watch his fellow Marines mutate. Some shifted into monstrous behemoths before they died, while others melted into an organic sludge. When it came time for his injection, never would he have imagined surviving. His mind had repressed the agonizing memory of his mutation that all Hendricks remembers is opening his eyes and moments after, making his explosive debut. He destroyed a portion of the lab. His detonations were out of his control, triggering from his panic and confusion. It was until after several chain explosions that Hendricks fainted. His body had exhausted itself and strained it beyond its limits. Without a moment to spare, he was detained, imprisoned beneath a steel container designed to give him no room to move, smother his detonations, and to shock him if ever he was thought to be dead. All he could do was gaze out the slot for his eyes at his fellow Marine, Nathan Braly. Unlike his buddy Hendricks, Nathan had easily been converted to Apocalypse's regime. Every day, Nathan tried to persuade Hendricks to join him, but so far every day, his buddy refused.<br>&nbsp;<br>As a prisoner, Hendricks is fed only enough to keep him alive rather than healthy. His mind is constantly challenged by thoughts of hopelessness, anger, sorrow, and throwing his pride away to actually join the enemy. Whatever allows him to see his family and girlfriend again right? But it is his pride and patriotism to his country that has not only kept him imprisoned for so long, but an honest hero. He only hopes that someone, even God, will free him from his torture.<br>&nbsp;<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(https://imageshack.us/a/img560/386/photo62454.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Strengths and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp;<br>Hendricks is vulnerable like any human in his normal mode. He can be shot to death, stabbed, or simply murdered. He is however immune to toxins, poisons, and diseases due to the hot, fiery energy that often courses through his veins. The only superhuman feats he is capable of are what he can do when he applies his explosive potential to his average human capabilities. His explosive potential is broken down into three main levels. <span class="bbc_u">Each level requires a charge and results in a consequence. You can perceive the "charge" as a casting time and the "consequence" as a cool down before the same attack can be used again. But still, he will have to charge to use the ability again.</span><br>&nbsp;<br><strong><span class="bbc_u">EP Level One</span></strong>: Hendricks can run up to speeds of 45mph, he can dodge objects traveling at speeds of 95mph [which is the speed of a professional fast-pitched baseball], leap 24 ft [two stories], his strength is Class 1, giving him the ability to move, flip, or deflect objects weighing 1 ton or less. Because his abilities are "explosive" thus short-bouts of power, Hendricks cannot carry, hold aloft, or apply continuous Class 1 strength to an object. The actions are as brief as they are performed. His Class 1 strength allows him to deliver Class 1 force to his opponents with crippling strikes. <br><span class="bbc_u">Charge</span>: No turns required <span class="bbc_u">Consequence</span>: None<br>&nbsp;<br><em>95mph is the max for his ability to dodge objects no matter what level he escalates to. However, this can't be said for Level 4.</em> <br>&nbsp;<br><strong><span class="bbc_u">EP Level Two</span></strong>: At level 2, Hendricks is Class 25 and only tends to ascend to this level when he needs to overturn, toss, or repel something 25 tons or less, reach an 96 ft summit [eight stories], or get out of Dodge at 75mph. Unlike, level 1, he has to be wise with how he uses his energy in level 2 for once he uses it for one feat, he would have to charge it again to perform another feat. His Class 25 strength allows him to deliver 1 Class 25 attack to his opponent.<br><span class="bbc_u">Charge</span>: 3 turns <span class="bbc_u">Consequence</span>: 3 turns; physical weakness and exhaustion.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong><span class="bbc_u">EP Level Three</span></strong>: At level 3, Hendricks is Class 75 and only tends to ascend to this level when he needs to overturn, toss, or repel something 75 tons or less, reach a 192 ft summit [16 stories], or get out of Dodge at 125mph. Like level 2, he has to be wise with how he uses his energy for once he uses it for one feat, he won't have the stamina to perform another. His Class 75 strength allows him to deliver 1 Class 75 attack to his opponent.<br><span class="bbc_u">Charge</span>: 5 turns <span class="bbc_u">Consequence</span>: Unconsciousness until properly conditioned to handle this level.<br>&nbsp;<br></span></span><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">EP Level 4</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong><span class="bbc_u">EP Level Four</span></strong>: Hendricks is physically and mentally unable to reach this level on his own. Unless he was to undergo a second mutation, or if affected by powerful outside influences, this level is unachievable. At level 4, Hendricks is Class 100. It is unknown how his physical abilities are affected or what the consequence for reaching such a stage could be.</div></div> <br>&nbsp;<br><span style="font-family: times new roman;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">Live</span></span><br>&nbsp;<br><span style="font-family: times new roman;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Hendricks's most popular form. In this form, the EP levels are the same except they are accompanied by a fiery explosive result. Live is very destructive if not used carefully and can harm others around him who are susceptible. Hendricks's resilience also escalates in this level, allowing him to take a beating from most super heroes of Class 25 strength. However, if his body was to be punctured by anything in this form, shocked, or heated, Hendricks will detonate outside his control. In this form, Hendricks can be beaten into unconsciousness without an explosive consequence, which will have him revert back to normality. Otherwise, Live is an immortal form. The power behind his detonations are explained in the EP Levels below:<br>&nbsp;<br><strong><span class="bbc_u">EP Level One</span></strong>: Standard EP 1 detonations give him the power to destroy a common two-story house, blow the door off a safe, or destroy most aircrafts.<br><span class="bbc_u">Charge</span>: 3 turns <span class="bbc_u">Consequence</span>: 3 turns; he reverts back to normal mode and tries to recuperate.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong><span class="bbc_u">EP Level Two</span></strong>: Standard EP 2 detonations give him the power to shatter the foundations of a skyscraper or sink a cruise ship.<br><span class="bbc_u">Charge</span>: 5 turns <span class="bbc_u">Consequence</span>: Be out of the fight for a good 5 turns to gather his breath and strength; he reverts back to normal mode.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong><span class="bbc_u">EP Level Three</span></strong>: Standard EP 3 detonations can have him destroy a block, sink 3 war ships if dropped from above, or...you get the idea.<br><span class="bbc_u">Charge</span>: 10 turns <span class="bbc_u">Consequence</span>: Unconscious until conditioned to handle such a detonation; he reverts back to normal mode.</span></span><br>&nbsp;<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">EP Level 4</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong><span class="bbc_u">EP Level Four</span></strong>: The level Apocalypse was dreaming of. He was curious to see if Hendrickson could ever reach such a level. To destroy a city, or to escalate higher, level 5 to destroy a country. Fortunately, the Marvel Heroes may never let him find out.</div></div> <br>&nbsp;<br><span style="font-family: times new roman;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Hendricks in live form is very susceptible to being frozen. It slows down his electrons so that he can't detonate to free himself. Imprisoned beneath a sturdy container, as Apocalypse's henchmen have found out, with no room to move or his energy to expand smothers his detonations. Not only with a container but a resilient super hero could also tackle the mutant and smother his detonation with his or her body. Just like getting rid of any dangerous bomb, depositing Hendricks where he cannot hurt anyone: desert, open water (ocean or lake), arctic wasteland, or open air is another alternative.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp;<br>Hendricks is currently imprisoned in one of Apocalypse's lab, undergoing manipulative training.</span></span></div>

It can take from a few seconds to 5 minutes for the transformation to be complete, depending on the initial stimulus. It has been theorized though that the transformation is more psychological than physical. <br><strong>Superhuman strength:</strong> As the Hulk, he can lift around 90 tons. But that increases substantially depending on his anger or stress level. <br><strong>Superhuman leaping ability:</strong> When calm, he can leap about 3 miles. But when enraged, his jumping ability increases also. <br><strong>Superhuman stamina: </strong>The Hulk's body counteracts fatigue poisons that build up in his muscles during physical activity. In an enraged state, the Hulk is capable of exerting himself at peak physical capacity for several days before fatigue begins to affect him. However, much like his physical strength, the Hulk's stamina does increase as he becomes angrier.<br><strong>Superhuman durability</strong>: In addition to great strength, the Hulk's body possesses a high degree of resistance to injury. The Hulk's skin is impervious to conventional blades, adamantium and vibranium being among the very few metals that are capable of piercing his skin. The Hulk is capable of withstanding high caliber bullets, powerful energy blasts, pressures extremes, falls from orbital heights, maximized heat without blistering, maximized cold without freezing, and great impacts.<br><strong>Regenerative healing ability: </strong>Despite his high resistance to physical harm, it is possible to cause the Hulk injury. However, the Hulk is capable of regenerating damaged or destroyed areas of his body (what include limbs, internal organs, and even his head), with greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human.<br><strong>Superhuman Speed:</strong> Regardless of his size, Hulk's superhumanly strong legs allow him to run at speeds that are far beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete (about 700 mph). Nevertheless, this does not grant him any enhanced reflexes or agility as smaller foes exploit his size and use it to their advantage. However, he has been fast enough to catch mortar shells shot at him.<br><strong>Resistance to Psychic Control: </strong>In many instances and occasions, the Hulk has demonstrated great psychic resistance as side-effect of his rage and the multiple personalities inside his mind<br><strong>Astral Form Perception: </strong>The Hulk has the unique ability of being able to see "astral forms"--or ghosts<br><strong>Gamma Radiation/Energy Manipulation and Emission:</strong> Not usually a power associated with the Hulk, but there is enough evidence that Hulk possesses at least a limited ability to manipulate forms of energy, particularly gamma radiation. The Hulk's body works like a "gamma battery" by creating and radiating gamma energy.<br><br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>Dr. Bruce Banner is a genius in nuclear physics, possessing a mind so brilliant that it cannot be measured by any known intelligence test. According to Banner, he is one of the eight smartest people on the planet. When Banner is the Hulk, Banner's consciousness is buried within the Hulk's, and can influence the Hulk's behavior only to a very limited extent. However, recent facts indicate that Banner subconsciously restrains the Hulk's full power.<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>Banner's molecular structure was transformed due to gamma radiation and trauma passed down by his father, and because of the gamma bomb which Bruce built, that exploded when he raced out onto the testing site while saving the life of Rick Jones.<br><br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://[url=http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/06/Hulk452012A.jpg]http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/06/Hulk452012A.jpg[/url])</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br><strong>Gamma Radiation Draining: </strong>In the past Hulk was frequently vulnerable to gamma radiation draining by sufficiently powerful energy manipulators.<br><strong>Adamantium and Vibranium Blades:</strong> They have been shown capable of piercing Hulk's skin<br><strong>Adrenaline Suppression:</strong> Adrenaline inhibitors can be administered via syrings constituted of adamantium and vibranium, objectifying to revert the transformation into the Hulk. Amplified quantities can accomplish this purpose successfully.<br><strong>Rage Nulification: </strong>The Hulk's rage also can be suppressed; this is exemplified by Betty Ross or the Sentry successfully calming him down in several instances. Telepaths with vast empathy potential can theoretically emulate this effect.<br><strong>Gas Inhalation: </strong>Great doses of gas can temporarily detain the Hulk. However, it's not an insurmountable obstacle, since Hulk can dissipate the gas with a powerful thunderclap, destabilizing the opponent with the resulting shockwaves.<br><strong>Strength Increasing Factor:</strong> The Hulk normally doesn't achieve full strength in the first moments after his transformation. Unless there is an substancial and uncommom event that triggers far superior amounts of adrenaline in his biological circulating system.<br><strong>Extreme Conditions:</strong> Finally, he can be hurt or even killed by cosmic entities or extraordinarily powerful individuals, and under some conditions be psichically manipulated by exceptionally powerful telepath<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Bruce was in the process of leaving the country. He was in Washington state visiting an old friend. When the attack happened, he found himself abandoned in California. <br>At this point, no one has heard from or seen the Hulk.

The mechanics involved having most of the mass of the nucleus of each affected atom convert into energetic particles which take up orbit around the nucleus - thus, although gravitons do not affect these particles, the mass of the original volume remains intact.<br><br>This means a punch delivered by the half-inch high Ant-Man would feel like the blow of a normal-sized man. Ant-Man's reducing particle has no time limit to its potency.<br>Ant-Man, when he is shrunk, still has normal human strength. Lang takes advantage of this when enemies often times scoff at his size, or even use it as a sudden, unseen force.<br><br>Lang has demonstrated the ability to change sizes without application of Pym particle gas.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Helmet: Originally designed by Henry "Hank" Pym as part of the original Ant Man suit, this helmet lets him communicate with Ants and other higher incest species. It also has a voice amplifier so people could hear him as if he was a normal sized human when shrunk, it also has its own oxygen supply.<br>Wrist gauntlets: Similar to the stingers of the Wasp, Hank gave Scott these "stingers" after Scott showed a serious commitment to Hero work with the suit<br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Scott Lang was an electronics expert who could not support his family doing repair work, so he turned his talents to burglary. Apprehended, he served his prison sentence and was paroled for good behavior. During his time in prison, however, his wife divorced him. Lang had furthered his studies of electronics while in prison and was soon hired by Stark International to work in its design department.<br><br>When his daughter Cassie was diagnosed as having a serious congenital heart condition, Lang sought the aid of surgeon Dr. Erica Sondheim, whom he believed to have been held prisoner at Cross Technological Enterprises (CTE). Desperate to help his daughter, Lang decided to resort to burglary. Breaking into the New Jersey home of Dr. Henry Pym, Lang stole his Ant-Man uniform and shrinking-gas canisters. Unknown to him, Pym observed the theft and in his guise as Yellowjacket, followed Lang, curious to see what use he would put the paraphernalia. Garbed as Ant-Man, Lang broke into Cross and discovered Dr. Sondheim was held prisoner by Darren Cross, (later, the super-villain Crossfire) president of CTE, who needed Sondheim to correct his own heart condition. Rescuing Sondheim and defeating Cross, Lang was relieved when Sondheim was able to save the life of his daughter.<br>Lang intended to return the Ant-Man costume to its owner and turn himself in, but Henry Pym offered to let him keep them, provided Lang put them to lawful use.<br><br>In his career as Ant Man, his first major team he was a part of ended up being the Avengers. He also spent some time as a temporary member of the Fantastic Four. In this time, Reed Richards was able to see Scott's leadership capability, and offered him to be a founding member and leader of the Future Foundation, a team designed to be a group of free thinkers that would help work and strive to a better future<br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4015/4314804576_25224b0944.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; While it is not a combat weakness, Scott loves&nbsp; women, probably much more so than most. Even having made risky moves on Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk in the past, its arguable that it could be detrimental to his health in that light. Under his suit, he is a normal human sporting all the vulnerabilities that any other human would have. If his helmet is damaged, a large part of Ant Man (namely the ants and other insects) becomes inaccessible until the helmet is repaired. The helmet can take substantial damage though before becoming inoperable<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The Future Foundation was caught off guard by the attack on humanity. Scott was quick to Donn the Ant Man suit once more to help respond to this. He had hoped to hear his Avengers comm light up with Stark's voice <em>"Avengers Assemble!"</em> Unfortunately, he watched in near horror as Iron Man was seemingly destroyed above the New York skyline. The members of the future Foundation were all over the globe, and their communications seemed shot. The last thing Scott heard was his daughter on the phone, crying in terror before a scream, and static. He didn't know how he was going to do it, but someone, something was going to pay for this. His daughter was quite probably dead, and someone was going to bleed for it.<br>(information pulled from the Marvel Wiki)</span></span></div>

Her skeleton has been artificially laced with molecules of the metal Adamantium, rendering her bones virtually unbreakable. Deathstrike is able to cybernetically interface her consciousness with external computer systems, allowing for direct data access to her brain's memory centers and granting her the ability to remotely operate such systems. Deathstrike’s cybernetic systems also include a self-repair and reconfiguration program, allowing her to automatically repair damage to her cyborg body. The more damage she endures, the longer her reconfiguration program will take to repair her body.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Deathstrike's fingers have been replaced by five 12-inch (300 mm) long adamantium claws replacing each finger of each hand. Aside from being as indestructible as her skeleton, these talons are capable of slicing through virtually any substance, other than adamantium itself and Captain America's shield. She is capable of telescoping these claws to twice their usual length. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Apocalypse upgraded many aspects giving Deathstrike a Class 25 strength allowing her to lift 20 tons with no effort and giving her very powerful attacks. Her self-repair systems were enhanced to be on par with the healing of Wolverine. <br>&nbsp; Finally Apocalypse enhanced her brain which allows her to project a blast of cyber-energy that acts as a super taser on all within the blast area, overloading the central nervous system and causing intense pain. Unfortunately she can only use the blast a limited amount [appox 5 times] without damaging her systems. The range of the blast is 100 feet and covers an area 30 foot in diameter.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>Lady Deathstrike is a supremely skilled martial artist, considered an expert in the art of Kenjutsu and other samurai warrior skills. She is an accomplished pilot of various aircraft and seacraft, and is fluent in both Japanese and English. She is a trained assassin and is skilled in a variety of Asian martial arts.

Deathstrike suffers from mental instability; she is an unbalanced fanatic, a condition worsened by her transformation into a cyborg.<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Deathstrike was being held at Rikers Prison when the attacks came and used that to escape and kill many on both sides which lead her to face Apocalypse.</span></span></div>

Zarda possesses superhuman strength, enabling her to lift around 20 tons.<br><br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>Zarda is an excellent combatant, having been trained in multiple forms of hand-to-hand combat and weaponry due to her extended lifespan. Zarda is also extremely intelligent, possessing a near genius level intellect. She is also fluent in Delphinese, the language of dolphins. Zarda carries a transparent, almost unbreakable, shield composed of an as yet unknown material. Zarda can use this shield in much the same way that Captain America uses his, such as deflecting bullets and blocking physical and energy based attacks. She can also throw the shield in much the same manner as Captain America. However, given her superior strength, combined with the durability of her shield, Zarda can use the edge of her shield to cut through most materials, including many types of metals.<br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>Princess Zarda hailed from the denizens of Utopia Island that were very peaceful and took on the name of Utopians after building what they considered a perfect society free of poverty, injustice, sexual discrimination, war, and crime. They had been experimented upon by the Kree to be powerful beings and normally isolated themselves from humanity. One day, Zarda encountered a shipwrecked sailor named Howard Sheldon. Recovering, he explained to her that he was an American sailor and told her about World War II, which was occurring around at that time. Subsequently, Zarda joined the Golden Agency to help the Allies, where she met Blue Eagle and Professor Imam. <br>The development of atomic weapons during the war frightened the Utopians, so they decided to leave Earth by converting their city into a starship. Zarda chose to remain on Earth and vowed that she would be an ambassador and spread their ideals. Humanity was less than receptive, but accepted her as a superheroine. She joined Hyperion, Amphibian, Whizzer, Nighthawk, Doctor Spectrum, and Skymax in the Squadron Supreme. <br>Zarda married Howard, though the fact that he was growing old while her immortality kept her young bothered Zarda greatly. For a time after Howard's death, she grew attracted to an evil Hyperion, unaware that he was an impostor and was responsible for her aged husband's death. When the real Hyperion returned and killed his evil counterpart, Zarda was torn about her actual feelings for the real Hyperion. Eventually, the two began a true romantic relationship. They continued to be on the Squadron Supreme. <br><br></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130204024011/marveldatabase/images/5/5f/2499240-pp.jpg)</div><span style="font-family: andale mono;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br>&nbsp;Zarda is completely susceptible to mind Control and all types of Magic.

A confrontation with the Avengers left her stranded when the Scarlet&nbsp; Witch closed the portal to Zarda`s Earth.

Her human body was forever changed with enhanced strength, speed, agility, reflexes, durability, stamina and coordination that no normal human could possess. Her sense also mutated, leaving her with enhanced eyesight, hearing, and night vision. As well as her body her mind also took a drastic turn for the better with eidetic memory as well as advanced learning skills that allowed her to catch onto difficult tasks with easy and retain key information for further use. <br><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong><br>Due to MJ’s past relationship with Spider-Man and her job as an actress and model, she has found herself in danger many times. She learned of the risks and was unwilling to be dependent on others for her safety. Her intelligence and tenacity make up for her lack of superhuman abilities at the time before the attack by apocalypse.<br><br>Mary Jane has training in self-defense as well as many forms of martial arts, she’s very strategically smart when fighting her enemies. Since her change her fighting style has improved to a master’s level making it even easier to bring her opponent down. Later on she started to carry a gun with her for extra protection, mastering shooting and weaponry in times of great need. She isn’t too fond of guns and is often saying “Its my plan Z” rather fighting in close quarters then shooting a firearm. Since her abduction Mary Jane has been subject to push herself to learn more about her new powers and try to enhance and control them.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Background and History:</strong><br>Mary Jane was Peter Parker’s (AKA Spider-man) childhood and high school crush and only sweetheart. At the time, she was dating the high school bully, Flash Thompson, but broke up with him at their high school graduation ceremony. Desperate to escape her abusive, alcoholic father, Mary Jane began to pursue a career in acting, but she secretly waitressed at a diner after being rejected at an audition. Peter's friend Harry Osborn was her first boyfriend after leaving high school, but when she was rescued by Spider-Man when attacked by the Green Goblin, she was attracted to him. After he later saved her from several men in an alley, the two shared an iconic kiss. She grew distant from Harry, and closer to Peter, when she realized how much he cared for her. After Harry saw Peter and Mary Jane holding hands, he grew angry and broke up with her. After being saved by Spider-man, Mary Jane tells Peter that she loved him and they kiss. Peter, who decided that for her protection they cannot be together, gently rejects her. She was heartbroken, but as he leaves she realizes that her kiss with Peter reminded her of the one she shared with Spider-Man, and suspects that he is the superhero.<br>But when Apocalypse attacked Mary Jane was caught off guard as well as most of the world. She fought back when the humans were being taken but was no match for Apocalypse’s followers. Waking up in an unknown room with other humans did she learn about the serum and what it did and what the super mutant had in store for Earth. Frightened she wished for Peter to be there, but knew there were many others in need of help and hoped that she would get the chance to see him again. Once she was injected with the serum did the change take place, and she felt powerful. Yet as she watched others dying as their body rejected the “judgment” did she feel powerless as well. Determined to escape the imprisonment she set out a breakout taking a few others who had survived the serum. Once they were free the party separated to find their own families and survival. MJ wondered where she was and what to do?&nbsp; Anger built up as she remembered all the lives lost in the camp and vowed to avenge them.

MJ's powers can be revived through external means: either through the food supplement, tryptophan, or by drinking a glass of milk. Unsure if it can be reversed she keeps a bottle of the medicine on her at all times so she is not caught off guard.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br>&nbsp; Mary Jane is a former girlfriend of Peter Parker AKA Spider-man.

The Exiles ended up leaving her behind in that time and Talia was about to go back to visit her father when she was intercepted by Exodus who made her another offer. A few months later, Nocturne showed up as a member of Exodus's Brotherhood in an attack on Philadelphia. While her teammates were mostly homicidal, Nocturne did her best to keep civilians out of harm's way. The X-Men defeated the Brotherhood, prompting Exodus to attack the X-Mansion, using Juggernaut as his ace in the hole. Juggernaut recognized T.J. as a hero and seemingly beat her to a pulp. In fact, T.J. told him she was trying to figure out Exodus's moves and Juggernaut told her he was undercover. When the fighting actually started, Nocturne was able to stop Black Tom Cassidy, the most dangerous foe, long enough for him to be swept into the black hole in Xorn II's head. Unfortunately, Nocturne was swept into the black hole too. <br><br>Nocturne and Juggernaut apparently ended up on Mojoworld, where they were sold to Mojo himself.
