| | The Liberators was originally a group founded in 1981 during the height of the Cold War by a heroine named [[Vortex Storm]]. The original purpose of the group was to assist in sabotage and underground efforts against the USSR in an nationalistic effort to combat communism. The Liberators reached the peak of their existence in 1989 when they participated in the ongoing revolutions by the Soviet Union's satellite states to break away from the controlling socialist regime. From their inception, their primary goal was to spark and fan the flames of revolution, to influence said countries to accepting a more capitalistic society with the possibility of joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The group was largely independent and operated covertly to aid efforts to undermine the Soviet Union's power; the Liberators was aptly named by Vortex Storm who believed that it was an American duty to fight and release territories of the Warsaw Pact from the Soviet sphere of influence. This was partly influenced by the fact that Vortex Storm was a young Chinese woman whose grandparents had participated in the Chinese Civil War of 1927-1950, on the losing side of the Republic of China, which was overtaken and defeated by the communist People's Republic of China in 1950. Her grandparents and and parent's cultural legacy stemming from it resulted in an utter hatred of all things communist, which eventually culminated in her patriotic suit and cape, as well as the primary objective of the Liberators. | | The Liberators was originally a group founded in 1981 during the height of the Cold War by a heroine named [[Vortex Storm]].

The Liberators was originally a group founded in 1981 during the height of the Cold War by a heroine named Vortex Storm. The original purpose of the group was to assist in sabotage and underground efforts against the USSR in an nationalistic effort to combat communism. The Liberators reached the peak of their existence in 1989 when they participated in the ongoing revolutions by the Soviet Union's satellite states to break away from the controlling socialist regime. From their inception, their primary goal was to spark and fan the flames of revolution, to influence said countries to accepting a more capitalistic society with the possibility of joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The group was largely independent and operated covertly to aid efforts to undermine the Soviet Union's power; the Liberators was aptly named by Vortex Storm who believed that it was an American duty to fight and release territories of the Warsaw Pact from the Soviet sphere of influence. This was partly influenced by the fact that Vortex Storm was a young Chinese woman whose grandparents had participated in the Chinese Civil War of 1927-1950, on the losing side of the Republic of China, which was overtaken and defeated by the communist People's Republic of China in 1950. Her grandparents and and parent's cultural legacy stemming from it resulted in an utter hatred of all things communist, which eventually culminated in her patriotic suit and cape, as well as the primary objective of the Liberators.
The Liberators was somewhat controversial during this time period, largely due to their secretive operations. In addition it is debatable how much exactly the group contributed to the dissolution of the Soviet Union later in 1990 (The year that the third leader of the Liberators, Swift was born), but it is known that it briefly gained extensive media coverage for its participation in the Romanian Revolution. The original Liberators experienced flak for responding violently against the Communist Romanian tanks and infantry stationed there, although it may have been justified with the violent nature of the revolution itself, the Liberators reacting to rumors of genocide and the fact that many military vehicles fired on the civilian population.
With the official dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1990s, the original Liberators became less relevant. Vortex Storm continued to assign the team missions, but her like-minded teammates began to express displeasure and even nostalgia at the lack of a unified, organized opponent to subvert. The Liberators' mission then changed to a mercenary layout afterwards (their primary sponsor dropped them after deeming them no longer needed) in order to make ends meet, and moved to Millennium City to continue its operations; their primary purpose was to serve the hero community and tackle organized crime, a mission that is still one of the core objectives of the Modern Age Liberators today.

Despite this he is a formidable warrior skilled in swordsmanship and martial arts.

- Powers -Electrical energy manipulation.
- Likes - Science fiction movies, cars, Italian cuisine, drinking milk(despite being lactose intolerant)
- Dislikes - His former allies, anything to do with liquid other than beverages.

He is an emotional and somewhat insecure man, very prone to losing his temper easily when provoked. His increasing desire to get himself noticed as valuable left him vulnerable to being controlled by a sinister energy known as the red lightning. After the massacre of several villains and the destruction of parts of the city directly caused by him, The Liberators expelled him and deemed him a major threat. He is currently in hiding.
- Weapons/Powers - Fire manipulation, firearms, flight
- Likes - Having allies, people treat him well, The Liberators
- Dislikes - His failure at following orders, getting Swift imprisoned, his own life
- Basics - Al was a former member of The Liberators before his his misbehavior and temper tantrums lead to his expulsion. His location is currently unknown but he has been popping up around Caprice occasionally. Be wants to rejoin the Liberators, but doubts if he is ready to do so.
- Weapons/Powers - Missile launchers, power armored kendruim suit.
- Likes - Being in the spotlight, women, farm animals, practical jokes.
- Dislikes - Eggplants, being 'only human', not being able to save someone.

- Powers - Hex and Charm Casting, Reality alteration, Weather manipulation, Soul and Time Magic
- Likes - Working with the Liberators, Reading ancient scrolls, visiting places of historical interest, working as a Mystos Guardian.
- Dislikes - Being bored, Confrontations amongst heroes, magic used for dark purposes, DEMON, VIPER and ARGENT.
Basics - CharmCaster is a mage from an alternate dimension who has recently arrived on Earth, and assists the Liberators in their struggle against the forces of evil. She is good natured and enjoys learning about this dimension. She is quick to calm a situation using her interpersonal skills and sometimes her magic. She has a very strong sense of justice and is always willing to assist where she can.
Conditions Of Withdrawal - CharmCaster realized that her duties as a Mystos Guardian and as a teacher at The Summerstone Academy were putting large strain on her relationship with her fellow Liberators and as a result she had lost touch with the group. Despite her intentions to withdraw from the group, CharmCaster hopes this action does not impact the group negatively and has requested to remain allies with them, able to help them in times of need. Although not yet official, CharmCaster hopes her letter to The Liberators does convey her desire to discuss the conditions of her withdrawal in the near future. As of the 16th of February 2014, her membership was suspended at her request, pending official withdrawal in the near future.
UPDATE: Her withdrawal was made official after meeting with Swift on the 2nd of March 2014.
- Powers - Technopathy, Metal Manipulation, Super Intelligence
- Likes - Robots, Computers, Technology, Inventing
- Dislikes - Bad guys, improper use of science, Mechanon
Basics - Techna Ology is an alien from a highly advanced planet far away from Earth, known as Xen or Xen-2. The inhabitants, Xenians, are a humanoid species and are naturally super powered. Techna moved to Earth along with her sisters Mentella and ForceGirl and operates as the CEO of ForceTech Industries. She joined the Liberators along with her fellow Sisterhood member CharmCaster. Techna's resourcefulness, intelligence and brilliance with technology far outstrips that of her nearest rival, making her a force to be reckoned with, just like her sisters.
Conditions Of Withdrawal - Techna Ology withdrew from The Liberators based on the lack of interaction she was having with the group. Her responsibilities as the CEO of ForceTech Industries and Head of Mechanics and Engineering for The Summerstone Academy, meant that she was slipping away from the group as time went on. She sent an official letter of membership termination (her resignation) on the 2nd of May 2014 and has returned the Liberators com-link.
