Characters: PS238
The characters of PS238.
     Staff of PS 238 
Herschel Clay (a.k.a. Mantium)

Dagnab Cytocorp hardware! If I found out who's been ordering from that cheap-wad supplierĶ I might as well make my own eprom chips if we're going to use this junk!

  • Almighty Janitor: His job is quite a bit more than 'janitor', but he doesn't come across as 'teaching staff' normally.
    • He's the maintenance guy for PS238. Along with the guy that designed and built it.
  • Gadgeteer Genius
  • Reed Richards Is Useless: Averted, he modifies NASA equipment and is rich from selling some of his stuff via Clay Corporation.

Alfred Cranston, Principal of PS238

Even when you think you're doing the right thing, you might be going about it in the wrong way.

Doctor Positron

  • Do-Anything Robot: Subverted when he has trouble fighting off aliens without the weapons in his combat body.
  • Me's A Crowd
  • Uncanny Valley: Normally, Doc P appears pretty much human, but (at least when interacting with his other selves) can lapse into Uncanny Valley-ness pretty badly. The other teachers tell him to knock it off because he's so unconvincing it's creeping them out.

Vashti Imperia (a.k.a. Spell Syrin)

Only you see my true appearance. To everyone else I look like Vashti Imperia, J. Crew patron.

Coach Rockslide (a.k.a. Maximilian Krutz, Rockslide)

I think that's our cue. Let's go stomp some aliens.

  • Gentle Giant
  • Nigh Invulnerable: He's been driven something like four feet into concrete flooring by a blow to the head. It doesn't seem to have done much more than stun him briefly (and leave him stuck).
  • Shapeshifter Mode Lock: Max may be a massively strong, stone-tough bruiser that's more than seven feet tall, but he's pretty much stuck that way, which isn't much fun. He doesn't fit through doorways very well, can't move very fast and he can't even wear shoes, since they just kind of... burst.
  • Super Strength

Cristina Kyle (a.k.a. Micro-Might)

The Human Alloy (a.k.a. Wayne Miller)

I've faced down military-level ordnance, fought beings with laser-beam eyes, taken on the worst the underworld has to offer... but [teaching] scares me worse than Doctor Von Fogg's legion of mole-warriors on a mushroom bender.

Other Staff:
  • Dr. Isadore Newby: School doctor, superpowered healer and mundane medically trained.
  • Alice Oberon: Teacher of the Rainmaker classes. Canonically completely powerless- why she's in charge of the Rainmaker students remains unexplained.
  • Roland Wooster: former Battle Butler for the defunct Union of Justice (a.k.a., most of the current teaching staff).
     Students 
American Eagle (a.k.a. Jenny Adams)

Age: 10

I'm in favor of blue - it's the same color of the skies, limitless and free, just like America.

Bernard Brenner

Age: 7

Bernard Smash!

Captain Clarinet (a.k.a. Mo-Ron "Ron" Peterson)

Age: 8

I wasn't sure I wanted to do this saving people and stuff. It felt good to help, but I still want to make my music.

Tom Davidson

Age: 10

84 (a.k.a. Julie Finster, F.I.S.S #84)

Age: 7

I'm sorry my powers aren't special or anything.

Emerald Gauntlet (a.k.a. Kevin Kramer)

Age: 7

Let's blast it!

The Flea (a.k.a. Alejandro Torres)

Age: 8

Is now when you tell me to "stay out of trouble" and "go back home" and "it's too dangerous" and stuff?

Guardian Angel (a.k.a. Ambriel Valentine)

Age: ?

You can't touch me, you can't hurt me, and the more you try the worse it's gonna be for you.

Malphast

Age: ?The son of a demon and an angel.

To be honest, I didn't know I could do it. It sort of "happened." I think I need to learn more about what I am from Ms. Imperia.
  • Captain Ersatz: Looks like Spawn. Has the origin of Genesis. Acts considerably nicer.
  • Power Incontinence: Accidentally summons a tentacled... thing while listening to music.
  • Reality Warper: Among others - part of his remit is that there hasn't been a demon/angel hybrid before, so no-one knows what he can do.
  • Me's a Crowd: Mentions that he built "a homunculus out of cafeteria food."

Absolute Powers a.k.a. Toby Marlocke

Tyler's former remote-control clone body, given autonomy by the actions of the forces of Order and Chaos and adopted by his parents. In the process, Toby gained quantum-based Reality Warper powers.

To get what I wanted,I had to give up something: the best friend I could have.

Tyler Marlocke (a.k.a. Moon Shadow)

Age: 8

A normal boy with two very famous heroes for parents. They wonder why he hasn't got any powers, but he is sent to school "just in case".

Look, I can't do any of the stuff you do. I don't have... you know... powers.

Murphy

Age: ?

I am acquainted with all stories form this world and others as they form the tableau of what you quaintly call "reality." The dreams of all sentient beings come together to shape what we see when we walk apart from the realms of sleep, and the whimsical novels of which we speak give their small contribution to making whole that which we see as the universe.

Polymer (a.k.a. Poly Mekkis)

Age: ?

One time I grabbed our mailbox when Mom was driving to the mall, and when we got there, my arm was-

Prospero

Age: Unknown

This is a sample of DNA that came from what you call a "cafeteria". It has evolved several times since I constructed this device. I have concerns for those consuming it.

Angie Sinthousy

Age: 11

Ha! Never fails! You got owned, Dude! Now let's finish da Acessorizin'.

Suzi Fusion (a.k.a. Suzanne Finster)

Age: 6

Doctor Positron says my internal body temperature can melt lead!

USA Patriot Act (aka Dillon Fillmore)

Age: 10

The Defender of patriotism has arrived! And he's here to hone his skills and fight injustice!

Victor Mycroft Von Fogg

Age: 8

Join Von Fogg or be vaporized from space.
  • Big Bad: It's what he's striving for)
  • Enemy Mine: Without asking, even. "So yes, we saved the planet. Again. Do I get a t-shirt if I do it a third time?"
  • Gadgeteer Genius: Though not on the same level as some of the others.

The Whiz (a.k.a. Franklin Springer)

Age: 8

Let's play kickball! Me against everybody!

Zodon

Age: 5

My brain is going to hemorrhage. If I wasn't given the chance to do independent study in the labs, I'd go caroling ape-beans.
     Others 
Charles Brigman (a.k.a. Underguard Greyhound)

Age: 12-13?

Cecil Holmes

Age: 8

Dr. Philippe Von Fogg

What kind of world is it where a man who can build a zeppelin-mounted death ray can't even operate a simple camcorder?

Alexandra Von Fogg

Von Foggs do not humble themselves.

Harold Nelson (a.k.a The Rainmaker)

The government wants to know how superpowers work, so they poke and prod the folks with powers that can't fight back. Like us.

The Revenant

I sometimes think access to cash is the greatest superpower of all.
