"The average man wakes up in the morning worried about being late for work, but when your an average man living in Millennium City -chuckles- You have to worry about Superpowered threats and City finally calming down by the end of the day" -

James Tyler (After becoming Bugg)

Background

Jimmy "James" Tyler was born in Detroit, Michigan as an anti-social outcast who was often treated like a bug always getting stepped on. In high school he had troubles with getting dates, making friends, and being extremely gullible. After school Jimmy would always go home in City Center where he lives with his 45-year old grandma, Alicia James. She was getting up in age and Jimmy always made sure he was there to look out for her; he thought him and his grandmas as both "widows" since Alicia's husband died of lung cancer and Jimmy's dad never seen him a day he was born. So the only woman he had in his life was his grandma.

Appearance

As James Tyler: James stands a height of 5 feet 5 inches. He wears his hair in a sloppy, unkempt design and he can often be spotted wearing his favorite short-sleeve green dress shirt with a white long-sleeve thermal underneath.

As Bugg: When James is spotted as Bugg he is an inch higher standing at 5 feet 6 inches and is wearing his notable brown and orange costume with long 3 inch antennas spouting from the top of his mask with green two-way mirror eye lenses.

Personality

Bugg as an empowered superhuman is very confident and cocky about the things hes capable of and can be very immature at times. He is both sarcastic and a wise-cracking superhero with a knack to always piss of opponents in hopes of them messing up and cause themselves to do the dumbest things, but his smart-mouth can be a bit harsh and actually cause himself to let his guard down and make him vulnerable to surprise attacks. When Bugg is in his civilian identity of James Tyler he acts often shy and sometimes a little sarcastic to further separate his personality as Bugg and keep people from making the assumption that James is actually Bugg (primarily due to a spike of YouTube showcasing Bugg and how jokey and smart-mouthed he is).

Bugg: Point of Origin

The media is always talking about seeing aliens, crop circles, and "little green men" everywhere, but this alien was NO joke! One day the nice sunny afternoon went from light to dark and it started raining fire. Alien spaceships then started popping up all over the city and landing in the surrounding neighborhoods, The Champions reported it was the alien race, The Qularr and they were looking for something having "scavengers" search nearby buildings and streets. Jimmy happened to be walking home from school when this was all going down, a force field went up trapping the Qularr in one place but sadly civilians were trapped inside the field with the Qularr. Jimmy didn't know what to do but hide so he ducked into a nearby alley.

Jimmy ducked inside they alley and hid behind a dumpster hoping that he would be safe from the invading aliens. Jimmy was so scared that apparently he didn't feel a "Firebug" land on the back of his neck its giant needle-like horn and jabbed it inside Jimmy's neck injecting him with a poison that caused him to pass out. Jimmy's unconscious body was retrieved by the Logistical Emergency Assistance Foundation (LEAF) and was taken to one of their makeshift clinics where he quickly recovered and got well again. Jimmy was transported back home to his Aunt Alicia and they were told to stay indoors until this invasion is over. After a whole 24 hours The Champions made a public service announcement saying that the Qularr are retreating and Earth is safe. Everyone cheered so loud it could be heard from outside everyone except Jimmy whose neck started to feel like it was set on fire.

Week after week Jimmy has experienced 8 blackouts, horrific neck pains, achy bones, and massive sweating. Jimmy doesn't know whats wrong with him it feels like right after being bit by that Firebug caused Jimmy to feel like he was hit by a bus. He thinks he should see The Champions or some voodoo doctor because he surely knows this isn't normal, but finally after three months Jimmy recovers and starts to feel a lot better so much better that he decides to go for a run something Jimmy never does. He notices that he possessed the speed and agility of an Olympic athlete and was able to run and jump like a parkour runner when Jimmy was almost hit by a Narcola truck his quickly jumped out of the way where he noticed he was sticking to a wall like an insect. He took one hand off the wall and looked down at it where he saw spike-like claws that acted like suction cups, Jimmy losted focus and fell off the wall this was where he generated retractable wings and begun to fly. Flying through the city like a human helicopter Jimmy put the facts together and realized by being bitten by the Firebug gave him the powers of a Qularr alien.

After weeks of power preparation Jimmy went to Carl's Gym where he learned basic hand-to-hand combat he started going there everyday after school and told his grandma that he was at the library. Jimmy also putting together a bug-themed suit as well just as a way to sign up for luchador wrestling, this was quickly scraped when a demon calling himself, Morbane was attacking his school in Westside. Jimmy noticed he finally had a chance to use his new powers in action throwing on his costume Jimmy attacked Morbane trying to get him away from the students, grabbing his leg Morbane throws Jimmy out one of the windows in his school and Jimmy ends up in a warehouse where hes nearly beaten to a pulp but later defeats Morbane by using a live electrical cord to weaken him. Morbane escapes and the police later show up at Westside and the warehouse he was at. Jimmy gets back to the school in time to change clothes and get back in his civilian identity.

Jimmy quickly recovered from his wounds and picked up a newspaper Saturday morning only to find that HE was in the paper saying that "an unknown vigilante with a bug-like appearance saved the students of Westside High' Jimmy later thought that maybe he was destined to be a hero, maybe there was a reason why that firebug bit him.. So Jimmy knew he was destined for greatness and he knew that maybe he can make a change in the world as this new "bug" hero so he later goes in his room and digs out his mask from his bookbag glaring into the lenses saying "a bug hero, eh?" Jimmy then puts on his costume and flies out his bedroom window screaming "I AM BUGG!!"

Becoming a School Journalist

James Tyler A.K.A Bugg, has been through a lot in his new career as a costumed crime-fighter and has been coming up with a lot of poor excuses for why he seems to disappear when a fight between Bugg and another super-powered foe unfolds. James has decided to become a journalist for his school, James knew that even though a school journalist usually prints articles about school-related topics like sports, clubs, etc. but recently James' school at Westside High has promoted that the kids may print articles relating to superhuman activity as long as they remain monitored by law-enforcement of any kind, that was James thought that being a journalist can make a perfect cover-up for his strange disappearances.

James and the rest of students have thought of the winged avenger known as, Bugg as the school's hero and protector and luck James he seemed to be a perfect fit for reporting any of his actions with superhumans due to him being always being a "Bugboy". James immediately accepted the position being that it would easy for him to report Bugg's latest activities in Millennium City (being that James is actually the masked insect, Bugg). That was when James became a school journalist, reporting super-powered activities in Millennium City especially those caused/or prevented by Bugg.

New Suit

Bugg has made his mark in the world by getting tiny articles and pictures in recent issues of SuperWorld! magazine and in the Westside High school newspaper. James Tyler A.K.A Bugg overheard many students and friends say its time for Bugg to change his costume saying his old one looks: "ugly" James refused to let these comments get to him and continued to wear the old outdated suit his first appeared in.

James one day heard a ARGENT roaming the parking lot of Dynamic Labs stealing weapons and equipment, suiting up James now Bugg springs into action and fends off the ARGENT agents. Bugg is outnumbered and outgunned but refuses to be defeated and uses his insectile powers and fire manipulation to defeat all the ARGENT agents however a Cyborg corners Bugg and ambushes him with gunfire and explosives which completely obliterates Bugg's costume, he manages to deactivate the Cyborg and flee the scene before the cops come and realizes that he really is gonna need a new suit.

Tired of constantly restoring the suit's armored features James tosses the old Bugg suit for an orange and brown all-cloth/fabric uniform sewn by James himself. He later submits an article into the Westside High Tattler newspaper club with the headline reading: "Bugg: New and Improved. The Winged Avenger's New Look". James gets an "A" for his studious article and story and has everyone in school fall in love with the new suit he now wears.

Powers and Abilities

• Superhuman Strength: Jimmy's insect physiology allows him to lift up to 10 tons and throw things that are quite bigger then him with ease.

• Superhuman Speed: Not at fast as a speedster but Jimmy can run at a the pace of that of an Olympic track runner.

• Superhuman Agility: Quite rare in Qularr history, Jimmy has the agility of a cat making him quite untouchable.

• Superhuman Durability: Bugg's durability is probably the best thing about him. Bugg is capable of being thrown through a wall and walk it off likes its nothing. He once took a punch from the Omicron-powered Ripper and barely had his ribs broken as well as walked it off with only a minor bruise which healed in about 24 hours.

• Superhuman Stamina: As a side-effect of the Firebug venom, Bugg can physically exert himself for a full 24 hours until fatigue from certain toxins and poisons begin to set in.

• Superhuman Flexibility: Bugg's flexibility rivals that of a gymnast's. He can achieve and pose imaginable and even squeeze through the tightest of spaces, except those that only a mouse can fit through.

• Superhuman Equilibrium: Bugg possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow. He has developed a unique fighting style that made full use of his agility, strength, and equilibrium.

• Superhuman Leaping Ability: Much like a grasshopper, Bugg can jump at tremendous heights. This is done by Bugg using his power of Superhuman Strength to push against the ground and perform and mighty leap.

• Form of the Insect: Bugg has developed a unique fighting by combining his superhuman strength, agility, equilibrium to best his opponents in hand-to-hand combat. He has bested Shinryoku, Master of the Burning Chi technique by using his unique fighting style thus thanks to the intelligent mind of Shinryoku he named it, Form of the Insect.

• Fire Manipulation: After being stung by the Firebug in the alley that day gave Jimmy the ability to control fire. Bend it, Project it, and Control it

• Flight: With the help of his retractable wings, Jimmy can fly at supersonic speeds.

• Wall-Crawling: Jimmy has little prick-like spikes on the palms of his hands which allow him to crawl on walls. But this requires complete concentration or he could fall.

• Regenerative Healing Factor: Jimmy's new powers allow him to heal at a super fast rate, he can heal from bullet wounds in under 2 seconds. He has difficulty regenerating from plasma and particle-based damage, but other than that Bugg can heal from wounds within 24 hours.

• Super-Hearing: Jimmy has expert hearing since the Qularr lack the perfect eyesight to see everything but using their advanced hearing as substitutes.

• Symbiotic Exoskeleton: Jimmy also has a retractable exoskeleton which enables him to be invulnerable against bullets and lasers, but not completely invulnerable.

• Retractable Claws: Much like a cat Jimmy has retractable claws which he uses as an offense weapon.

• Hyper-Vision: For when his danger-sense is on the fritz. Bugg possesses a "Hyper-Vision" that allows him to slow down time (through his eyes) and quickly evade attacks. The only limitation is someone, or the attacker has to be in front of Bugg in order for this power to work, but due to Bugg's enhanced hearing he is capable of turning around quick if an attack came from behind.

• Bugg-Sense: Bugg possesses a danger-sense that allows him to evade danger in a matter of seconds. Tiny hairs cover his body and when they sense a threat they send an impulse to Bugg's brain telling him to dodge that surprise attack.

• Genius-level Intellect: James is very smart for being only 15 years old. As Bugg, James has created the "Bugbots" accidentally by just playing around with some components he found in his grandma's basement and he has also enhanced the effects of the Hex-Shield by also making it extremely resilient against missiles and energy blasts.

• Qularr Metabolism: Bugg being that he is a hybrid between human and Qularr he possesses a Qularr Metabolism that makes him immune to strange pheromones, toxins, and poisons.

• Understanding Qularr Knowledge and Language: Seeing how Bugg is half Qularr now he can understand all Qularr knowledge such as their weaponry and understand and speak their fellow language.

Weaknesses

• Insecticides: Ironically possessing the physiology of an insect has its disadvantages. One is that Jimmy is vulnerable to pesticides like RAID! this can severely weaken him and possibly kill him. Since most people wouldn't expect this as a weakness its unknown to most and never worries about a villain armed with a can of bug spray on them

• Qularr-Cide: Thanks to Bugg's half-Qularr DNA he is vulnerable to this special chemical that is hazardous to the Qularr.

• Secret Identity: One of Bugg's TRUE weaknesses. Bugg wears a full mask for reason as much as he love to wear a cowl for when a lovely lady were to lay a smooch across his lips, he can't. If his identity were to be revealed he would be devastated. His friends and family would know who he was and he was blamed responsible for the death of a friend's parents.

• Lack in Self-Confidence: Bugg maybe willing to help and protect others but secretly his true weakness is lack in self-confidence believing that he doesn't have a place in the hero world considering that most adults would say the same.
  

  

  Bugg. Ready for Duty

• Power-Dampeners: Power-Dampeners can completely/or temporarily dampen Bugg's alien DNA and leaving only the dormant human gene alive and active, rendering him powerless for the time being.

• Plasma and Particle Damage: Bugg's healing factor works at tremendous rates but when he is faced with laser swords or any use of plasma/and or particle attacks, it takes Bugg awhile to heal from these attacks. When he was first sliced with a laser sword of a VIPER agent it took 15-20 minutes for Bugg to heal from the attack since it left his skin boiling and blistering from the attack.

Equipment

• Set of Qularr Energy Pistols: Jimmy has a pair of Qularr Energy Pistols his keeps in a desk in his Grandma's basement. He rarely uses them due to vowing never carry or use a gun of any kind. Unless COMPLETELY necessary.

• Bugg Antennae: The Antennae on Bugg's cowl aren't just for design purposes but they have special psychic inhibitors which block off the use of mind control and hypnosis of most psychics and mentalists, these were built shortly after Bugg's run-in with PSI which left him with massive headaches and migraines he soon healed from.

• Cell Phone: Mainly used to keep in touch at home or with allies of any kind.

• Camera: Just in case an investigation comes up Jimmy carries a miniature camera in his utility belt.

• Bugbots: The Bugbots are a recent addition to Bugg's arsenal. These miniture heroes may be small but carry alot of firepower.

• Camcorder: When out of costume, James Tyler carries a camcorder for any sorts of investigations that requires him to be "heroic" without the use of a insect-themed brown and tan costume.

• Holo-Hex "Honeycomb" Shield: Bugg recently acquired an energy shield from a crate of VIPER weaponry in Westside. The shield is labeled and branded as "Holo-Hex" Energy Shield, which Bugg often calls the "Honeycomb" shield, due to it being composed of 12 or more holographic hexagons.

The Sky Buggy

On a Tuesday night January 15th 2014, Bugg receives a call from PRIMUS that now is his time to prove himself as a superhero and is given permission to go to Monster Island. Monster Island is the "savage land" of man-animal hybrids that roam the plains of special island thats located not far from Asia, their creator is no other than Dr. Moreau, a mad-man that infuses human DNA into animal test subjects and thus causes the creation of many monstrosities that need to be contained, the alien race known as the Qularr have also been camping out north of the island on an isolated beach where they work on their flea-shaped ships and start working on numerous experiments and devices. Bugg is given a special PRIMUS-issue "Grav-Bike" that he can use for quick transportation which is faster than his "bug wings". The bike is outfitted with a cloaking device, missiles, and force fields. With this bike Bugg can always be on the prowl and vigilante ready to get to a crime in a speed of light.

• Force Fields

• Missiles

Nemeses

Swarm Queen

The Sward Queen was commonly known as, Rachel Carpenter, an expert spy in espionage, covert operations, and undercover operations. She was contracted by Dynamic Labs to kill Bugg and get a sample of his DNA. Clearly underestimating the Winged Avenger, Rachel was defeated and was ordered to analyze his powers, abilities, skills, and equipment to see what makes him so strong. She later fought Bugg again this time to get a sample of his DNA allowing Bugg to "defeat" her. Going back to Dynamic Labs she learned Bugg's true identity and also finding out that he is the first "successful" breed of human and animal, Bugg's DNA was considered unique due to most humans turning into "Manimals" when injected with animal DNA. She later used Bugg's and other Qularr DNA samples to turn herself into hybrid of insect and human, thus naming herself, Swarm Queen, possessing powers that consisted of:

• Telepathy over all Insects

• Flight

• Biological "Stingers" that emit Venom

• Bio-Electric "Wasp" Blasts

• Enhanced Strength, Speed, and Durability

The result was Burt meta-morphing into a humanoid-Anglerfish with large amounts of superhuman strength, durability, claws, and a super regenerative healing factor. He is rumored to live amongst the other Bleak Ones in the underwater city of Lemuria.

Bloodleech

Bloodleech is a creature of unknown origin he is often tied to magic-related events. He is background is unknown but all that is known is he is capable of draining heroes and villains of their powers and abilities WITHOUT gaining their weaknesses as well. He met Bugg during his escape from Westside Penitentiary. The only well known information on Bloodleech is that he was once a worker at VIPER who fell into a tank of genetically-altered leeches and he slipped on some nearby water and fell into the tank where the leeches bit him and drank his blood to the point that his DNA soon adapted to the strange chemical enzymes mutated his body entirely by having his Metagene activated and turn him into a humanoid monstrosity known as, The Bloodleech and has wrecked havoc ever since he even made Bugg retire from superheroics for short time due to him draining Bugg of all his powers at one point.

Hollow Man

Michael Turner was a scientist who worked with the military in creating a special invisibility serum which would render its user the ability to turn invisible and no be seen by the naked eye, due to it being a secret project only the government knew about, Michael's resources were very limited and tested the serum on himself and it turned out to be a complete success until Michael found that he couldn't turn visible again and was left with special powers which dealt around sound allowing him to manipulate sound waves and even bend them to turn other things invisible and create force-fields, Michael then turned to a life of crime due to how he could pull off anything and get away with it because he could no longer be seen. He was shortly apprehended by Bugg (who used his enhanced hearing to catch and defeat Michael) and turned over to the local police who then sent him to Stronghold where he was given a ridiculous costume so security guards could see him, he eventually broke out with the other inmates and is rumored to be back in Millennium City watching and lurking for the one kid who sent him to the hell that is Stronghold.

Dr. Slug

It has been said that there is an ancient DNA in humans that was placed eons ago and when activated can transform said humans into slugs. Unfortunately for Dr. Henry Thomas he was kidnapped by the Elder Worms and had that "hidden DNA" activated and transformed into a slug with strong levels of psionics he then set out to use his new powers on the new hero, Bugg.

Halloween

John Dothan was a billionaire who had it all, he owed his own corporation named, DothCorp and he had a loving wife and son. There was always one thing John hid from his family and employees and that was he suffered from Bipolar Disorder. John showed that instead of shifting from happy to sad or from crying to angry, John in fact would shift mainly between insane and crazy to serious and intimidating. John stressed himself out day and night creating a "Performance-Enhancer" super serum that would make an ordinary man a super-soldier with peak human conditioning and abilities he later used the well known VIPER drug, Draysha which enhanced his peak conditioning and gave him superhuman strength, speed, durability, and a regenerative healing factor. John later found out the Draysha and the Performance-Enhancer caused his Bipolar Disorder to go "haywire" and he later became completely insane "Mad as a Jack-O-Lantern" John once stated and thus decided to use his new power to become the villain known as, Halloween. John had a "Bag of Tricks" that mainly contained Toilet Paper Grenades, or TP Bombs for short. These bombs would have the guise of toilet paper but the "tissue flap" would be lit and cause an explosion of fireworks or confetti. Halloween debuted sometime near the end of the Blood Moon event in 2013 when Bugg soon found out Halloween's true identity, he tried to save him only to get probably the "sanest" thing John Dothan ever said and that was: "You Can't Save a Man Thats already Dead". That was John's last words before jumping off the roof of DothCorp, but rumors are speculating that Halloween is still alive and hiding out in Vibora Bay.

Coldfront

Isaiah Masters was once a heater repair man for Dynamic Labs, he was looked at as a nobody. Isaiah idolized Bugg mainly for it being amazing for a young man risking his life to save others with his amazing bug powers he also idolized Bugg because he saved Isaiah from almost being hit by a tanker truck who had his brake lines cut by an unknown person. One day at Dynamic Labs Isaiah was told to stay after to repair a broken heater unit in the ceiling, what Isaiah didn't know was that unit was located over top a tank of liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen boils at −196 °C (77 K; −321 °F) and is a cryogenic fluid that can cause rapid freezing on contact with living tissue. Isaiah's foot happen to slip after fixing the heating unit and fell into the liquid nitrogen tank, Isaiah felt his entire body freeze over and within seconds the tank exploded freeing Isaiah from his frozen chambers. Isaiah awoken with cryogenic powers or ice powers for short, he went on a rampage downtown where he was subdued by Bugg and fellow friends it was after this Isaiah became known as, Coldfront and now despised Bugg for betraying him as a role model and "fan" friend.

The Buzzard

The Buzzard stays true to his name, being that he is an aging man around the age of 50+ this man was once an ordinary citizen named, Anderson Seigel. He is responsible for creating a street drug called, Buzz, this drug was actually a super-soldier serum that was never used or patented after finding out that it granted limited levels of superhuman abilities. After the military decided to take away the formula Anderson used to create Buzz, he finally decided to take the time and finish working on a cybernetic exoskeleton that would provide the ability to fly at supersonic speeds touching himself up with the last remaining sample of Buzz, Anderson adopted the name The Buzzard and set out to kill the military scientist ordered to destroy his leftover super-soldier serum only to have his plans thwarted by none other then the insect himself, Bugg.

Insectoid

Jason Crause was a fellow scientist working for ARGENT examining the latent gene in Qularr DNA which led to the creation of Bugg. Jason eventually created the Insect Q1-N1 serum, this serum was created by combining Qularr DNA with the drug created by VIPER called, Draysha, a steroid of some sort that morphs the physical attributes of the human body. Jason decided to use the new serum on himself which led to disastrous consequences and caused Jason to transform into a monstrous creature named, Insectiod, he has since become a thorn in Bugg's side being that he is now morphed into a Qularr drone.

John was soon nicknamed, Bull and became the Muscle Man of VIPER until leaving to pursue better opportunities like catching and killing superheroes, Bull later crossed paths with Bugg after he foiled his attempts of robbing Millennium City National Bank. Bull has since becoming one of the most powerful nemeses within Bugg's rogues gallery.

Onomatopoeia

Sherman Watts was a low-life crook who found himself always robbing mom-and-pop stores and sometimes banks and he would always get caught and sent to prison by the brat known as, Bugg. One day Watts was sent but was quickly bailed out by an anonymous person who supplied Watts with the proper tech needed to squash the insect and that was a brown briefcase with a insulated black-and-white leather suit that had a sound-wave insignia on it as well as a mouth piece that would allow Sherman to scream and yell with a sonic shriek and finally a note reading "You are now Onomatopoeia. With this equipment you shall serve as a worthy threat against "Bugg" now go show me what you can do". Sherman Watts then became Onomatopoeia, a villain with a sonic scream that is capable of overpowering Bugg with much ease and little action.

White Rabbit

White Rabbit is a young girl named, Alicia Carter. Alicia adopted the identity of White Rabbit after discovering her mutant ability of Pheromone Emission and Control, she later adopted the look of a rabbit topped off with bunny ears and a tail, she then realized that her White Rabbit costume also made people think she was an actual rabbit, cute and playful while under the control of her pheromones which she now nicknamed, Bunny Perfume. White Rabbit met Bugg after catching the hero unmasking in a alley after stopping a previous crime from earlier, she then grew attracted to the hero after (from what she claims) catching a glimpse of his "abs". White Rabbit soon met Bugg again after she used her powers to rob a jewelry store and tried to use her "bunny perfume" against Bugg which proved ineffective being that Bugg's metabolism rendered him immune to the pheromones effects after that Bugg later turned her in to the police. White Rabbit has remained a neutral enemy to Bugg mainly only showing up at random, the public also believes the two are a couple being that photographers caught the two teens kissing on several occasions. (Bugg got his first kiss from White Rabbit, but shhh don't tell her that!)

Low-Level Nemeses

Tartrapper (Alex Warner): Alex Warner was a small-time employee working for VIPER in their R&D department. When Bugg infiltrated a VIPER base to rescue a kidnapped girl named, Jessica Langsdon, Alex developed a special "tar gun" to trap the bug. He eventually evolved to become a small-time crook named, Tartrapper using his newly created Tar Gun to trap those in a boiling tar-like substance that proves inescapable allowing him to (sometimes) pull off the perfect heist.

Equipment: Tar Gun - The improved Mark II version of this weapon attempts to coat targets in a boiling, tar - like substance that substantially reduces all forms of movement (even teleportation; the extra weight excitable molecules of the goop prevents you from popping out!) and reduces your ability to dodge and avoid attacks. Blocking is no protection against this goop!

Johnny Jumper: Johnny Carson is nothing more then a wannabe super-villain thats out to make a name for himself. Using a new gravity manipulating suit, Johnny becomes Johnny Jumper, often named in the local papers as "Leapfrog".

The Insidious 7

The Insidious 7 is composed of lesser known villains in Millennium City. These villains have all crossed paths with Bugg and decided to form a group that would combine their natural skills and powers to take out the bug. (no pun intended)

Members:

• Swarm Queen: Swarm Queen is the team leader of the Insidious 7

• Vengeance: Background is unknown but has a great range of Telekinesis. Being capable of projecting a force field the size of a door.

• Green Dragon: Villainous kung fu master who's an anti-Western bigot. Nemesis of Redsnake and Bugg

• Herculan: Originally from the faraway planet of the Fassai species, he gained fame as a gladiator on the decadent planet of Malva. However, much like Ironclad before him, he was disgusted with what he saw as the further moral decline of the gladiatoral arena. So he, too fled and found his way to Earth. Once there, however, his extraordinary strict ethical code did not mesh with the natives. He will punish anyone he considers a criminal and will take (or steal, as the Earthlings say) anything he thinks he deserves.

• Torment: Torment is the most reluctant of the PSI operatives. She doesn't actually want to hurt people or take over the world. What she does want, however, is to avoid the excruciating pain that torments her (and is the source of her name). She was born with a disorder that caused her intense pain that would fire at random in different parts of her body, and that didn't respond to any known medical treatments. Dr. Sebastian Poe figured out it was a result of psionic abilities and developed a drug to treat it. Now Psimon and Medusa use that drug to force Torment to serve them.

• Scalpel: An on-again-off-again member of the team who has two hates and two loves: Hates: Magic Girl and Bugg. Loves: To kill Magic Girl and Bugg.

• Electric Eel: Genetically-Engineered supervillain created by VIPER with a humanoid appearance and powers of an electric eel.

Bugg's Motivation for Being a Hero

Often questioned for whats the "real" reason Bugg became a superhero, Bugg never knew the exact answer himself but only being a hero for two years has left James Tyler (Bugg) with the real answer. All throughout James' life he was bullied, alone, sad, depressed, and worst of all not having anyone there in his life, of course there was his grandmother but he spent too much time trying to take care of her instead of the other way around. As Bugg, James gets a chance to be a role model to others as well serve the perfect teenage hero for other teens to look up to and when James thinks really hard on it, he believes he also became Bugg to be there for others since he never really had anyone there for him and he does this by using his power to help and save citizens of Millennium City.

Trivia

• Bugg was created by combining concepts of Spider-Man, Blue Beetle(Jaime Reyes), and The Ant from 2002 PC game, Freedom Force

• When Jimmy created his outfit he was originally going to name himself Insect-Man, but it sounded too comic book-like

• Bugg's favorite is the 1986 remake of the movie, "The Fly". This has been his favorite movie both before and after getting his powers although he does have nightmares of him transforming into a insectoid-creature.

• The name "Bugg" was actually a mistype when it was printed in the paper, so this inspired Jimmy to adopt this as his hero name.

• The Spider-Man concept of Bugg comes from how hes bitten by an animal of some kind to gain his powers, The Blue Beetle part comes from his powers being from alien origin, and The Ant concept comes from Bugg being an insect-themed hero and his lack in self-confidence.

• The Qularr are an alien race with the appearance of a person-sized bug-like creatures; much like a combination between an insect and a lobster, but being that Jimmy was bitten by a firebug and not an actual Qularr he gained only bug-related powers.
