Power Girl

Born to then-budding programmer Zane Starr and painter and designer Allison Starr, Karen has always felt alone. Even in the company of peers who shared her aptitude in programming, she'd always felt like she didn't belong - an outlook that only intensified at the onset of her powers during her mid-teens. The natural development of her powers could only mean she was a mutant, and thus she did her best to hide her 'condition' from everyone, even her parents. Her curiosity, however, would lead her to experimenting with her newfound powers whenever she could – lifting junked cars, leaping ever-greater distances, and the like. The development her body underwent thanks to her powers – and perhaps because of her 'strength tests' as well – would serve to further fuel her insecurity, forcing her to resort to hiding her unusually-enhanced physique under ever-baggier clothes and deepening slouches.

At 20, while off at college, her parents were caught in a car accident and did not survive. Karen was distraught, wondering if with her powers she could have saved them if she was nearby. Now feeling more alone than ever, her mourning never really ended, even when she eventually moved to Brooklyn in New York to pursue her career as a programmer. She all but shut herself off from other people, interacting with clients primarily from behind the anonymity of a computer screen. Still, she continued her experimentation with her powers whenever she could, her curiosity about them never really sated.

It was later on that she heard of various other 'metaheroes' appearing, using their powers to aid in stopping crime, assist in disasters, and combat their 'metacriminal' opposites. A part of her told herself that she was doing this to try and ensure that nobody else would suffer the same tragedy she did... but another, selfish part of her thought of it as the ultimate rush; the ultimate escape from her loneliness. She would be a figure with seemingly nothing to hide; a 'hero' who people would remember, rather than just another face that would blend into the background, to be forgotten. Thus, after several botched (and rather embarrassing) debuts, Power Girl appeared: a tough, headstrong, sometimes-hammy metahero who endeared herself to the populace (though her occasional collateral damage annoyed others to no end; she was all too happy to return and help rebuild, though).

Only one person discovered – and now keeps – her secret: Nicholas Cho, a fellow programmer. The young man inadvertently stumbled upon her when he came to visit her on a sick day - in reality, she had just-then developed her heat vision, and ended up causing damage to her apartment trying to get it under control. At first wary of her powers, he soon grew to consider her a close friend, especially since he had heard of her exploits as Power Girl – and the introverted Karen grew to trust him as well. Their close bond would become much more integral over the course of several more years, as Nicco would aid Karen in keeping her secret, and on occasion even help her at her 'other job' whenever he could via investigation, hacking, and even procuring materials for her current costume.

• Rapid-Fire Typing: Does it impressively while helping Tony and JARVIS defend against a virus attack.

Raven's mother, the first Rachel Roth, was originally from the same Earth as everyone else. One day she was kidnapped by a group of cultists and given up to their lord, the demon known as Trigon. He took her to the dimension of Azerath and impregnating her, forcing her to give birth to Raven. Once she was born, Raven was trained and groomed to be a servant of her father, just like her many other half-siblings. Her mother had other plans though. Rachel taught her daughter about the world she came from, telling her stories about what life was like there and all the heroes that lived there. She tried to instill a sense of good in her child. Once Raven was old enough, She worked with her mother to get Raven to the Earth, to try and get help in stopping Trigon from taking over reality. Now that she was here, Raven had to familiarize herself with a whole new world and seek out anyone that could help the coming storm.

Rocket Raccoon

Rocket Raccoon is a member of a race of genetically altered wildlife that was given both bipedal movement and sapience to become workers of their planet turned insane asylum by advanced robots who were the original caretakers up until their creators left the planet and isolated it from the rest of the galaxy (long story, don't ask). Rocket himself was formerly the head of the planet's security bureau, protecting the inhabitants not only from threats of invaders but also acted as the head of police on the planet as well. He was also the hero of the planet's greatest civil conflict, the Toy Wars, a massive conflict between the corrupt CEOs of two rival toy companies that sold toys to the humanoid charges of the animals, affectionately called "Loonies", and both of whom wished to obtain the planet's Holy relic, Gideon's Bible, the psychiatric diary containing all the knowledge and finding by the planet's original inhabitants, called the "Shrinks." Rocket managed to stop the plans of both sides, even after they teamed up to kill off the raccoon.

After the war, Rocket and his friend presented the Bible to the robots, whom still provided the animals with the equipment and materials needed for their jobs, and the head robot used the knowledge and power gained from the relic to create device that managed to permanently cure the mental ailments of humanoid charges. The former Loonies, forever grateful for their years of services, offered Rocket, his people, and all the robots to be their assistants and entertainers as they planned their future.

While some stayed behind, most of the animals and robots decided to leave their home planet and explore the universe, forging their own destinies. Rocket Raccoon himself decided to become a bounty hunter and mercenary, and quickly built up a reputation as one of the best and most efficient, making him somewhat of a rival to the infamous Czarnian bounty hunter Lobo. His latest commission though takes him to some backwater blue planet by the completely "original and imaginative" name of Earth. Normally Rocket would not think twice about turning down a commission like that, but it came directly from the Guardians of the Universe, the Leaders of the Green Lantern Corp, and under the recommendation of Green Lantern Chip Squirrel, a friend of Rocket. He also became interested when the Oans directly told him the details of this mission...

Rogue

"Um, just so you know, I-I don't like being touched."

Rogue was living in Mississippi when her mutant power activated while she was kissing her boyfriend, Cody Robbins. After leaving Cody in a coma, Rogue ran away from home, eventually ending up in New York. She doesn't have any idea where she is going, but she believes she wants to be left alone. She would be more outgoing if it were not for her power. She acts withdrawn around others, wanting to keep them at arm's length so she doesn't accidentally touch them. She is also confused and a bit frightened at what she has become

• Near-Rape Experience: She survided one by Cletus Cassady.The poor girl, rather than angsting, keeps fighting and even defends a girl from Masque.
• The Runaway: Ran very far away from home after accidentally putting her boyfriend in a coma.

Storm/ Ororo Munroe

Born to N'Dare and David Munroe, Storm lives in New York, where she was orphaned at age 6 by a terrorist attack. Almost crushed under the rubble, she developed severe claustrophobia, and therapy at a foster home has only diminished the fear a little. Her powers manifested a few years ago, and she was recruited to the Academy at the age of 14.

Quiet and stoic. She has a softer side and feels it her duty to protect people; her strong power (in her opinion) can give her a tendency to try to handle things on her own when she really would need backup.

---

• Tsundere At least so far as Tony is concerned.

Werewolf by Night

Jacob is fundamentally a nice person who cares for all innocents of the world, especially those who are cursed or monstrous and who others might spurn and be prejudiced against. However, he also has a very notable dark side which has built up as a result of past experiences and will use heavy violence whenever necessary. He has a dark and jaded view of the world and sometimes doubts his own ability but overall considers it his duty to protect the innocent and punish the guilty. When it is unleashed, the beast is a wild and feral creature and tends to go to utter extremes with its violence but it has been touched by Jacob's experience and is no simple beast. It doesn't have the complex world view or contemplative thoughts of the man but the beast itself is a force for good, a primal defender of the innocent and hunter of predators.

Regarding his origins: A long time ago Gregori Russoff was bitten by a werewolf and although the curse was passed down to his descendants, as his children were already born when he was bitten it was dormant. A long time later Gregory Russoff, a Transylvanian baron, attempted to use the power of the Darkhold, a book of powerful but evil magic. This reactivated the curse in Gregory and his two children, Jacob and Lissa. While the children did not start transforming until they were older, Gregory became a werewolf and sent his family away to keep them safe before he was eventually killed by an angry mob. Jacob and his sister were raised by his mother and step-father, the family taking the step-father's name of Russel in Los Angeles. While his childhood had unpleasant events within it and he was always aware that his step-father was not his actual father, his childhood was overall fairly happy. Eventually the children grew up and when they became eighteen, started turning into werewolves three nights a month around a full moon. The beast was savage but as Jacob fought to control it, he eventually brought the curse under his control. While Lissa had her curse removed by a sorcerer, Jacob gained the ability to control his wolf form and transform at will, changing back to his previous name when he finally accepted the beast within him, experiencing dark parts of the world as he tried to become a hero but ultimately emerging as a champion of the supernatural and defender of the innocent.

• Agent Peacock: His costume consists of a "speedo" and a feather boa and he often acts in a camp manner but he still kicks ass.

Iron Man

Tony was always an obvious genius and mechanical prodigy, taking after his father, Howard Stark. He was groomed from birth to take over the family business, Stark Industries, a weapons and technology development system, and after the loss of his parents as a teenager, did so without a thought when he was of age. A couple years later, while presenting his latest missile upgrades in Afghanistan, Tony's convoy was attacked and he was severely injured with shrapnel caused by his own weaponry. His life was saved in something of a last-ditch effort via installment of an electromagnet to keep metal shards from ripping apart his heart, and he was held prisoner with another inventor, Ho Yinsen, who helped Tony create the arc reactor to save his life, and the prototype Iron Man armor that was to help them escape, if Yinsen had not been killed by a stray bullet in the attempt. Upon returning home, eyes open to the horrors of war for the first time, Tony immediately shut down his weapons division and made it his life's mission to improve peaceful technology, while working himself to bring peace to the world via steadily new and improving Iron Man armor.

Bastion Mckenzie

Only a few really get what has to be done.

Bastion was the young son of a multi-millionaire, only seventeen, and already heavily indoctrinated by his father's hateful anti-mutant speech. He was taken around purely to show that young people were involved in the anti-mutant cause and that it was popular. However, one day, he had an accident in which he was locked in the room with a typically "defective" Master Mold, who combined a Sentinel design involving Nanites with the young man. The result was a technological being, and one of the first "human Sentinels" in the project. This experiment was not documented, and it seemed to fade for a while...until after the Music Meister's campaign. At this, Bastion moved into New York to begin his plans.

A plan involving fake clinics, tagging and a targeted Sentinel campaign which is certainly not supposed to remind you of anything.

---

• Bishounen Line: As Sentinels get stronger, they look more human. Bastion, the strongest of them, is a handsome young man in this iteration.
• Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Ever since he became his father's agent, he has expressed worry that he's losing himself.
• The Dragon: Technically, to his father, though he is a vastly more prominent figure.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Other mutant haters might be doing it because they want to satiate a grudge or to profit somehow. Bastion genuinely thinks he needs to do all that he does.

Majestic

Personality: Good hearted, soft-spoken, and somewhat naive, Jacob fears he will never feel fully comfortable in the modern world. Yet, believing God gave him powers and put him on Earth to help people, Jacob soldiers on.

Origin: In all the endless history of this living Universe (excluding creatures such as the Dark Elves, who lived in the Time of Darkness, or Galactus who lived in a Universe before ours, or Eternity and the Living Tribunal, who have existed since the dawn of any creation), there is said to be no race older than the Guardians of Oa. This is true, though there are many that come close. The Gods of Immortal Asgard and Olympus, The Celestials, and The Immortals are just a few examples. But there was perhaps none greater among these ancient worlds, these first races, than the Kherubim of Khera. Blessed with fantastic powers under their Golden Life-Giving Sun, the Kherubim lived in peace for hundreds and thousands of years, creating, discovering, and inventing, hoping to shape the future.

Hinting she might know more than she lets on.

She believed herself to be human, as the bracelet she had been wearing, had been suppressing her memories from krypton. That is until the arrival of some Kryptonian criminals began to unlock them...

Nevertheless Kara is an optimistic, friendly, loyal cheerful playful if a bit insecure teenager. While Kara is far from being as morally right as Mary Marvel or both of her cousins.
