Protectors of the World

OOC Notes

The Protectors of the World (or known simply as The Protectors) are a super group in the same vein as The Champions, a coalition of heroes who are tasked with taking on world scale events. They have an extensive variety of different skill and power sets in order to deal with conflicts as they arise. Their missions take them from covert operations in faraway countries to fending off large scale, Earth threatening villains. When the stakes are high, it is the Protectors that are called to the scene. This super group takes cues from teams such as THE AVENGERS and THE JUSTICE LEAGUE. It is very much a 'capes and tights' organization with a modern spin.

The roster of the Protectors is composed of charter members who are permanent fixtures in the Protectors. There are in addition Honorary members and Reservists that help out when possible. Charter members are the main force of the team. Each one has the ability to access the Protectors communication hub and utilize the Barlowe Building for every day tasks. Some members even choose to live there. Honorary and Reserve members are utilized in a more support capacity, dependent upon specialization and need on any given mission. Reservists have access to the communication systems, however Honorary members do not. Honorary members are also not limited by their involvement to any other super group they may work for.

As it stands, the Protectors are not looking for applications or actively recruiting unless otherwise posted somewhere. When we wish to add to our ranks we typically look for more established players who fit the tone of stories we enjoy telling. Most of our team is comprised of individuals who are already comfortable with each others' play style. We also have in place a soft cap of around twenty individual players with a 'no alts' policy in place barring Honorary status. This ensures that everyone can participate and never quite feel out of the loop of the goings on internally within the Protectors (or who is playing what character, what story lines are going on, etc etc)... as is often the case with large super groups. Players who are not part of the team may from time to time join in Protectors of the World adventures as Honorary Members, which is always a great way to meet new people and share in the fun.

History

The Protectors of the World were created when the heroine Sparrowhawk, seeking to create a more proactive strike force of seasoned heroes, came to UNTIL to request the ability to begin such a team with their backing. With the assistance of her partner, All-Star, the two began the arduous task of reviewing both notable and up-and-coming heroes that would mesh well both personality and power wise. Bringing in an assortment of super heroes who were close associates, friends and even relative strangers, they began in earnest to forge a team that would be a force to be reckoned with. Some of the early members included African Violet from South Africa, Katsuo from Japan, the robotic C.O.P. from America, Canadian legend Thundrax and even former teenage ingenue Dobergirl. They set up headquarters in Millennium City's downtown Barlowe Building, occupying the uppermost ten floors.

The first year of the Protectors was extremely busy and quickly tested the mettle of the newly formed group. They were taken to task before their headquarters were even completed and the roster finalized by the 175, which was the number of secret identities compromised during an attack on PRIMUS. This was followed up by battling everything from African gods to World War 2 villains with a score to settle against old foes. The Protectors earned a sterling reputation for these successes. Hailed as heroes across the globe, UNTIL ensured the Protectors were on the first lines of defense when situations would arise. New heroes continued to join their ranks as their team expanded, such as the well known heroine Razira and the mystical aquatic hero Seadragon.

The beginning of 2014 was marred by the apparent betrayal of the team's own leader, Sparrowhawk. In actuality she was captured, tortured and then brainwashed by members of the Apotheosis Project, an organization established to ridding the world of super human influence. They used to her to attempt to turn public opinion against super powered beings under the guise of an anti meta heroine named Virago. After an assault in which Sparrowhawk single handedly defeated most of the group, the Protectors were in in a state of shock and tried to quickly rebound. Problems further intensified as All-Star, taking on leadership of the team, suggested they kill Sparrowhawk, not aware of her current state. This created a rift within the Protectors, causing Thundrax to question the morality of All-Star's methods and resulted in him leaving the team. There were other challenges as well. From Canadian Fist losing her powers and going on a mission to restore them to discovering a gene bomb that could readily kill off most of the Earth's super beings, the Protectors persevered. Founding member Black Sigil sacrificed himself to save the lives of the Protectors and Xanthe was taken out of commission by an attack from the villain Cassowary. After Sparrowhawk freed herself from the mental thrall she was under, she joined her friends just in time as a monster known as Leviathan attempted to destroy Millennium City. The collected forces of Protectors both charter and honorary faced him down, and both he and the Apotheosis Project were toppled, though at a great cost.

The events of the last few months being known as The Eugenics War, the Protectors struggled to stay together as internal strife and distrust ate at them. All-Star took a more proactive role in leadership while Sparrowhawk took it upon herself to bring the rest of the Apotheosis Project to justice. Katsuo upgraded his armor as Canadian Fist took the new identity of Artifist. The Barlowe Building was renovated and upgraded even further after Leviathan's attack. The alien heroine Voreen was brought into the fold as a new member, helping to revitalize the sense of camaraderie just as Sparrowhawk returned to the team as active leader. They fought such enemies as the Children of Prajna and stopped a multidimensional device from tearing apart time and space itself.

It was months later that All-Star was killed fighting an old adversary of his with the aftershocks leading to Sparrowhawk taking an unannounced extended leave from the team. The Protectors, losing both their main driving forces, focused less on the Protectors and several of their members went to other endeavors as the Barlowe Building grew silent. It was months later when Sparrowhawk chose to return, determined to re invigorate the team and rally them once more. The first order of business was to add new blood to their ranks. Members were inducted such as veteran powerhouse The Peacemaker, second generation hero Stonemason, the tempestuous aquatic heroine Fathom and the effervescent Cosmic Glory. Zwein found himself working alongside both the Protectors as well as leading a group of Westside heroes as Honorary Protectors. A memorial was held for their Field Leader, All-Star, while passing the baton to Razira to continue his work, essentially moving from the old to the new.

Their timing could not have been better. More recent events have proved their most challenging yet. The cosmic cult known as the Almagest and the return of the bizarre Kaptain Komics were just two of their new battles. The Protectors clamored to save the world and civilization from being destroyed by a terraforming, near planet sized space ship and then took on the responsibility of keeping said planet safe as it harbored millions of life forms aboard. Razira became both its protector and custodian. Cosmic Glory dealt with graduation and the move into adulthood only to find her secret identity compromised. Sparrowhawk briefly became owner of the German Shepherd and Protectors mascot Thunder, Thundrax's pet before he perished. They have found themselves working undercover to retrieve DNA samples of super powered beings to dealing with the evil designs of the villainous Captain Conquest. New recruits such as gunsmith Armory and PRIMUS hero Captain Adamant have joined the fold. Most recently, they defended and saved Millennium City against the threat of an ancient vampire named Adrian Arkwright.

The Protectors stand together as one of the world's most accomplished and respected crime fighting teams, ready to battle anywhere that they are needed.

The Barlowe Building

The Barlowe Building serves as the current headquarters for The Protectors. The building, primarily an executive hotel, has had its uppermost ten stories redesigned to accommodate the super team's needs. The headquarters is run by an artificial intelligence known as Mother, a more intuitive version of the program designed by Sparrowhawk for herself to aid in crime fighting which was co-created by UNTIL contractor Simon Reynolds. Mother handles every day tasks as well as more specialized functions, such as controlling PORTAL (see below).

The upper floors contain the following:

• Living Quarters. The residential facilities of the Protectors is composed of twenty four 900 square foot residential suites. These are for reserved for the active members of the Protectors of the World and constitute two of the lower floors that the Protectors utilize at the Barlowe (the lowest floor actually is home to their security network). Some members use these as full time living quarters; others are used intermittently by certain members when in town or merely as a home away from home, decorated as they wish. Certain rooms are tailored towards an individual's specific needs. Seadragon, for example, once had a large water tank in his personal quarters.

• Common Room. Wide and expansive, the Protectors of the World common room possesses a flat-screen satellite television, numerous sofas and chairs, a warm fireplace and access to a variety of media from movies to video games. With a direct link to the dining area, it acts as the main social hub for the Protectors of the World when they're on and off duty.

• Dining Area. With a fully stocked kitchen with access to a wide variety of supplies and a table large enough to accommodate most of the team, the dining area is one of the main social hubs for Protectors spending time at the Barlowe Building.

• Gymnasium. Outfitted with all the finest exercise equipment and facilities to help the Protectors tune their bodies and minds, the gymnasium of the Barlowe Building caters to humans, meta-humans and extraterrestrials looking to get a good work out. With an Olympic-size pool, a sauna and studios for acrobatics and dance, the gymnasium has everything you could need to stay in shape -- and then some.

• Rec Room. Much like the common room, the rec room of the Barlowe Building was made with socialization and easy entertainment in mind. With a fully-stocked bar, a pool table, a media center, an arcade, a state of the art sound system and a library of books and files, the Protectors are free to kick back, relax and enjoy their free time in luxury.

• Crime Lab. With enough top of the line equipment to put the FBI to shame, the crime lab offers the Protectors ready access to all the fixings they need to tend to the investigative side of their work, be it autopsies, crime scene investigation or substance analysis. Though, for all intents and purposes, it can very well act as a regular lab for more scientific Protectors, calling it the 'crime lab' just makes it sound cooler.

• Medical Center. Attached to the crime lab, the Barlowe Building's medical center is a facility equipped to deal with the medical emergencies of even the most esoteric members of the team. With medical equipment and supplies suited to human and alien biology and flash-freeze storage for the dead and the unconscious, it serves the Protectors well when things take a turn for the worse. The Medical Center is overseen by the Mother AI.

• Mystics' Room. An area slightly off the crime lab and medical center, this room houses a number of trinkets and books which benefit the more mystically inclined Protectors and is equipped with supplies which would benefit any mystic from an alchemist to a dimensional wayfarer. It has been specially warded against intrusion and scrying, safeguarding it against any particularly sneaky magic-types. Mostly used by Artifist.

• Tech Room. An area beside the Mystics' Room that serves as a hub to repair, creative or investigate items of technological origin. Various schematics are available of numerous devices villains have created and used from UNTIL files. Prototypes and other interesting things are about the room in various phases of construction. A service Bay for C.O.P., as well as his own quarters, are off this main area.

• Counseling Office. With the obvious stress entailed by a life full of combat and high stakes, a counseling office has been set up in the Barlowe Building This provides a safe location for the Protectors to vent their worries, frustrations and hang-ups to the team's resident counselor, Aura.

• Briefing Room. A moderate circular room containing a large table with a holographic display in the center of it, the briefing room acts as the main rendezvous point for the Protectors before and after missions. Here, they make ready use of their access to a relay of worldwide news and events to brief and debrief on upcoming missions, organize strategies and assign roles. Lockers containing primary and spare costumes/gear allow the Protectors to suit up before charging in to battle.

• Training Room. A hi-tech facility which makes use of a combination of hard-light, holographic projections and more traditional mechanical systems, the training room is outfitted with advanced combat simulation technology which allows it to mimic the dangers and intricacies of actual combat scenarios withing a .001 margin of error. From the control tower, scenarios can be programmed and fine-tuned via a user friendly command interface overseen by the Mother AI and data from the the Protectors' various field missions and training sessions can be analyzed and implemented to keep things challenging.

• Hangar. An expansive hangar which stores the Valravn and the various vehicles the individual Protectors regularly make use of. Access to a large supply of tools needed to maintain said vehicles is also a given.

• Mission Control. Usually manned by Sparrowhawk, the mission control room acts as the communications and observation hub for the Protectors of the World. From here, all the technological facilities of the Barlowe Building can be controlled and scrutinized and access to satellite transmissions allows the Protectors to maintain visual and audio coverage across the world via the Mother system. When an outside party wishes to contact the Protectors directly, this is where they're usually put through to.

• PORTAL, or Photonic Operated Remote Teleportation Arrival Link. The PORTAL system is a large, arch like device located off the main meeting room. Maintained and operated by the Mother program and activated by voice command, Portal uses orbital way-points keyed to the Protectors of the World's holo-badges to allow for instantaneous teleportation to most locations of interest across the world. The PORTAL system can therefore grant the Protectors the ability to respond almost instantly to the global threats they often find themselves facing. Despite its efficiency, however, the PORTAL system is both expensive to use and prone to causing nausea and dizziness in some. As such, the Valravn is the more economic choice when time isn't of strict importance.

• Defensive and Offensive Systems. Due to its very public location and the value of many of its interior facilities, the Barlowe Building is outfitted with a number of offensive and defensive countermeasures and apparatus to help keep the enemy out (or, in some cases, in). With powerful weaponry and defensive systems courtesy of both some of the most brilliant minds on Earth and some even not of this Earth, the Barlowe Building is more than capable of holding its own.

• Trophy Room. A stretching hall full of glass cases and displays, the trophy room is home to the collection of trophies, souvenirs and gifts the Protectors have received during their missions. With security measures put in place for the more dangerous items, the trophy room offers a nostalgic walk down memory lane for any Protectors in the mood.

• Thunder, the Wonder Dog: Formerly known as both Leo and Hobo, Thunder is Sparrowhawk's pet dog. He is a mostly pure long haired German Shepherd canine that lives in the Barlowe Building alongside the Protectors. Thunder is less of a guard dog and more of an overly zealous, face and hand licking best friend to the group. Sparrowhawk acquired him from Thundrax after he had the dog in his possession a week before he apparently met his demise, finding herself listed as the emergency contact via the shelter the dog was rescued from. Thunder is perhaps a bit too comfortable around the building and can be found sprawled out wherever he can catch a nap, mostly by the large windows catching some sun or in front of the elevator to greet people. He seems to be highly motivated by food and attention (but definitely more so food) and has taken well to training courses, showing himself to be quite intelligent.

The Valravn

The VALRAVN is the Protectors' personal state of the art jet and primary mode of transportation when PORTAL is not necessary or available. Initially designed on a prototype designed by Alex Harper and her friend Simon Reynolds and called the Peacekeeper. This was used by the team until its destruction during their mission in Savage Beginnings, Finale. It went under further enhancements with the assistance of Zelara and Voreen by integrating various alien tech in its weaponry and defense systems. All the Protectors are trained in its basic use though it has a built in user intuitive interface to aid those whose experience in flying may be a little less informed. It is responsive to all current charter and honorary members of the team. Typically the Valravn is piloted by Razira, Zelara or Sparrowhawk.

Capabilities include:

• VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) capability

• Can operate in and withstand deep ocean pressures; cabin has been built to regulate decompression

• Has a flight speed of 4,200 mph inside the Earth's atmosphere (slightly over mach 6)

• Can be fitted for outer space travel, reaching faster than light travel outside of Earth's orbit.

• Can fit comfortably a flight crew of two and six passengers

• Kendrium armored plating along the hull for maximized natural defenses

• Nanite infused repair system to minimize structural damage and possible decompression

• Repulsor projectors: Enabling a form of stasis to immobilize items and people

• Gadroon modified force field system

• Repeating pulse laser

• Sidewinder seeker missile system (x6)

• Magnetized under hull

• Side mounted plasma cannons

• Kendrium Alloy Cable/ Winch

• Worldwide satellite interface for tracking, coordinating and relay

• Screechers: Sonic wave devices capable of emitting several types of sound to disable and incapacitate large groups

• Holographic and stealth capability

• In the interior of the ship is a number of UNTIL issued weaponry at the Protectors' disposal

• PORTAL enabled technology, allowing it to open gateways between most large cities

"No colors, no slogan, and no cape. Only me, and this ton of metal. It really is that simple. Surrender, and we'll keep it simple."

Name: Carter Williams
Abilities: Power Armor, Invulnerability, Enhanced Strength, Military Training
Rank: Member

When Carter Williams appeared in Millennium City, sealed in his armor, the media dubbed him the "Unbreakable Man". Not for his durability, but for his sheer willpower. His first appearance as Captain Adamant was a drag-out skirmish that lasted six hours. When the dust settled, Adamant was the only one standing, his armor gleaming.

That’s Captain Adamant’s edge in the superhero world: years of training, focus like a razor, and and a severe unwillingness to quit. When a man like that is made invincible, his enemies think twice.

Carter was a Captain in the US Army before donning the Hardwear Armor, and currently works at PRIMUS as an analyst. By joining the Protectors, he hopes to continue a productive career alongside other superheroes. Because even an Unbreakable Man needs allies, and it’s the closest thing he’ll get to a social life.

Mills, like all C.O.P.s, is a fully self-aware artificial intelligence construct installed in a massive and heavily armored chassis built to withstand the worst types of punishment super villains can dish out and then return the favor with both fire power and brute strength. Mills is currently with an elite division of M.A.R.S. known as Special Unit Alpha, which defends the city from rogue A.I.'s and other dangerous synthetics. Though he is often criticized as being every bit as dangerous as the villains he was designed to fight, there's no denying his impressive service record and he always gets the job done by the book. ("The Book" is what Mills named his night stick.) At first, he scoffed at the idea of ever joining a superhero team and declined Sparrowhawk's invitation, but later changed his mind after a lengthy talk with Syntha Tech's C.E.O.

However, the curse does not come without its downsides, the most obvious being the fate that awaits her; if she cannot track down an artifact that can finally lay this curse to rest, she will be doomed to wander the earth as a bodiless spirit for all eternity. Maria has taken up the life of a superhero to expose herself to the more supernatural elements of the world, but can she find the one object of her salvation before it's too late?

(- Featuring: Tesseract, Sparrowhawk, Zwein, Razira, Artifist, Stonemason, Cosmic Glory)

• Whatever Happened To Steel Champion?: When a town in Pennsylvania is under attack by two mystery men, the Protectors come in to investigate. When the antagonists refer to Cold War terminology, it is thought they are robots from decades ago. It is actually revealed that they are 1950s heroes Steel Champion and his sidekick, Scrappy. As a battle wages on, the truth is uncovered: both heroes were housed in an abandoned military facility for nearly forty years and that they are partly human! Decades of isolation had driven them to the brink of insanity to the point that the past was the present. After the Protectors snap them out of their fugue state the duo are returned to humanity, hoping to somehow forge new lives for themselves. (- Featuring: African Violet, Fathom and Voreen)

• Race to Graduation: When Cosmic Glory graduates high school, the Protectors aren't the only ones there to cheer her on. It is brought to their attention via her boyfriend, Brad Jones, that an old enemy may be making an appearance. Two in fact, as Galtoid and members of TYR have it out for our cosmic cutie!

• Picnic on Planet Razira aka Avestus: The Protectors convene on the massive space vessel discovered during the finale of Savage Beginnings and which currently resides close to the moon. The group discusses their present course of action, the history of the space ship they have acquired and what the future holds.

(-Featuring: Zelara, Fathom, C.O.P., Razira, Wildeye and Sparrowhawk)

• Big Guns (Part One): A visit to a remote city leads to an underground hideout. Following up on intel after their scuffle with Captain Conquest, the Protectors stop a weapons shipment with some very hi tech devices.

(-Featuring: Sparrowhawk and Tesseract with Honorary Protector, the Freelancer SCRI)

• Brazilian Shakedown: The Protectors travel to Brazil where are called to assist. A town is under siege by seismic activity that is in no way natural. A VIPER nest is discovered to be the culprits instead. Utilizing and testing a new weapon out they are unleashing it upon the unsuspecting public! The Protectors team up to stop this threat with the hero Armory, who is to become their newest recruit. (-Featuring: Armory, Stonemason, Sparrowhawk, Cosmic Glory and Razira)

• The Requisition: In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the Protectors must go undercover to infiltrate an exclusive party for some of the world's most prominent crime families. Why have they all convened at this gala? It is a cover for the silent auction and sale of usable DNA of some of the world's most prominent heroes (from genetic materials originally discovered in the mission Body Doubles) with the potential of cloning for their own use. It is up to the team to not only recover these but defeat the villains that stand in their way: the demonic enhanced Hellbent, probability manipulator Windfall, assassin sisters the Furies and the high powered Bifrons! (-Featuring: Stonemason, Fathom, Sparrowhawk, Razira and Zwein)

• Once Bitten: The Protectors are given the location of a large supply of 'The Thirst', aka the 'vampire meth' that has afflicted thousands. What they do not realize until too late, however, is that this is all a set up. Their arrival was orchestrated by Adrian Arkwright himself to teach the team a lesson... one that almost costs them their lives. As they lie broken, the vampiric sorcerer begins to put his final plans into motion... (-Featuring: Tesseract, Zwein, Razira and Freelancer Havoc as well as an appearance by Stonemason)

• Prelude to Nocturne: An assembly of heroes gathers in the Barlowe Building to discuss Adrian Arkwright.

A vast army of vampires, sent out by Arkwright and led by one of his top commanders, Javier Perdigon, are out to lay waste the city's power grid. With a city already fallen into shadow, the loss of the last vestiges of light would spell ruin. The heroes succeed as C.O.P., Razira and Cosmic Glory suffer almost fatal wounds from their encounter with Javier whose abilities are exponentially enhanced by exposure to "The Thirst". (-Featuring: Razira, C.O.P., Cosmic Glory and Honorary Protector Biomorph)

• Sanguinis Cruentatio, Part Two: The Seal: Sparrowhawk sends a team of Honorary Protectors (designated "Team 0") to Romania, where they must seek out an ancient holy relic.

(-Featuring: Honorary Protectors Dr. Kaufmann, Starlet, Bloodbath, Cantrip, Felix Delazar and -R- of the Snookii)

• Sanguinis Cruentatio, Part Three: In Darkness: "Team 22", led by one of the Protectors' newest members, Armory, is designated to protect the thousands of lives which are seeking refuge within the Millennium Sports Stadium.

(-Featuring: Artifist, Zwein, Stonemason, Sparrowhawk and The Peacemaker)

• When Werewolves Attack: The Millennium City Museum is under attack and being robbed of Lemurian jeweled relics. Who could be behind this?

(-Featuring: Armory, Razira, The Peacemaker, Sparrowhawk alongside Great Lakes Pack members Wolfgirl and Mutt)

• Black Sail By Starlight: Using information gathered from interrogating a villain, Havoc and Ice-Heart think they've figured out a way to break the magics keeping the members of the Freelancers held hostage in different dimensions.

Villains & Foes

NOTABLE NEMESES OF THE PROTECTORS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

• Adrian Arkwright: An ancient vampire who also commands vast mystical abilities. Adrian was able to create a drug called "The Thirst" which allowed him to tap into the humanity and energy of humans, adding to his own power considerably. It also created a form of quasi-vampirism for anyone addicted to it. Adrian led a full assault on Millennium City in the summer of 2015, nearly destroying it. His plans were thwarted by the combined efforts of the Protectors of the World and a gathering of Millennium's most powerful heroes. Arkwright himself was vanquished by a holy relic (a stake which was originally part of the cross Christ was crucified upon) that made its way to the team's hands, piercing his heart and saving everyone involved.

• The Apotheosis Project: The Apotheosis Project was a vast organization of people scattered across the world whose purpose was to remove super human individuals from the planet. Many held high ranking positions in government and military organizations. Most of the names of those affiliated with this movement were discovered by the Protectors. After the fall of Leviathan in Millennium City, the remaining members went into hiding. Sparrowhawk took it upon herself to bring the majority of them to justice.

• Ao Guang: Chinese mystical villain. He is well versed in the occult and supernatural. Often utilizes mystical objects and items to enhance his powers. Ao Guang was responsible for opening up ancient rifts deep within the ocean and attempting to wipe out parts of Burma before the Young Renegades and Protectors defeated him.

• Cassowary: Jason Mansfield is Cassowary, one of the main players who was involved with the Apotheosis Project. Essentially a genetic 'brother' to Sparrowhawk, Cassowary has led attacks on the Protectors before. With the Apotheosis Project currently brought to its knees, Cassowary still is at large, using his power and talents to garner him favor in the criminal underworld.

• Crimson Fury: Crimson Fury is an Indian super villain who has created a technological empire in his home country. He sells weaponry to the highest bidder and was one of the vendors used by the Apotheosis Project. Crimson Fury used an air carrier about a mile in length to conduct his business venture. The carrier was destroyed by several members of the Protectors of the World, though Crimson Fury himself escaped.

• The Datamen: A collection of six individuals who together have amassed a computerized criminal empire. Originally they were responsible for retrieving 175 coded named out of PRIMUS' files. The files were wiped, however, before they could be properly decrypted and sold to the highest bidder in an 'auction' of sorts for villains. The Datamen were foiled but currently still at large.

• Dr. Ashe: Dr. Ashe was a scientist who heralded the Mag-Men, creatures of ancient power, in New Zealand.

• Gadragon: Alleged alien jailor or warden of a prison planet. He was involved in one battle with the Protectors, but he made a hasty exit and a promise to return soon to Earth.

• The Furies: Trio of Greek female assassins. They are sisters Aylala, Alissa and Ariadna Petros. Each one of them is highly trained and wields a specially designed suit of power armor. They work for the highest bidder, which has put them at odds against several heroes, most notably the Protectors. Alissa's power armor was recovered by the team during one fight, though all three have since upgraded their uniforms and fighting equipment. They remain at large.

• Kaptain Komics: Kaptain Komics is Eugene Harris, your stereotypical slovenly comics reading nerd. What what he lacks in character, he makes up for in power. Kaptain Komics is a mutant, one who is actually able to slightly bend the fabric of reality to his own bidding. The only things he requires is an imagination and a focus to keep his powers engaged. In the past this has been such things as a pen or a hair ribbon. He often plays upon things he already knows about to shape his fantasies into reality like books, movies, cartoons and, you guessed it... comic books.

• The Kraken: The Kraken is a notorious super powered pirate who has command of a fleet of a number of aquatic vessels. His men are fiercely loyal to him and well-trained. The Kraken himself is versed in armed and unarmed combat. He possesses the ability to lift around 40 tons, enhanced reflexes, the ability to survive underwater and withstand great pressures as well as a suit of armor which grants him additional protection. His favorite above-water weapons are two energy whips that he is incredibly adept at using. Some say his small army could very well number in the thousands and he has several dozen ships that do his bidding upon the high seas.

• Leviathan: Leviathan is a villain of almost immeasurable power. His origins are unknown, and more monster than man, Leviathan revels in utter destruction. This villain is deemed to be one of the most dangerous beings on the planet, akin to Grond. Leviathan can grow to a height of around one hundred and fifty feet, lift over fifteen thousand tons and has the ability to release a poisonous, toxic gas from his pores. Currently Leviathan is held in stasis at an underground facility in an unnamed city in the United States.

• M.E.K.K.A.: A technological genius and madman, M.E.K.K.A. began primarily as a nemesis for Sparrowhawk. He had runs ins on several occasions with the group Rising Force as well as the Protectors. Though he is currently in Stronghold Penitentiary, his creations still exist and even do his bidding. Lairs of his dot the world, and often lairs are still uncovered that are in the process of devising new ways to bring evil into the world.

• Shining Son: Dr. Martin Merriweather was a cult leader whose influence led to the creation of the Children of Prajna. Merriweather, using a mystical pendant, took his followers to a self labelled utopia. His true ulterior motives were to summon a creature of great other dimensional power. Dr. Merriweather's hopes were dashed by the intervention of the Protectors and his pendant destroyed, thereby sealing the ability of the creature to pass into our world.

• Spring-Heeled Jack: Spring-Heeled Jack is a demonic entity that may or may not be the same Victorian era monster from the 1800s. Spring-Heeled Jack inhabited members of the Adventurers of Avalon to turn briefly evil and kidnap several members of Parliament. He was using Stonehenge as some sort of mystical focus as he fought and was defeated by Zwein and several other Protectors in combat.

• Steel Champion & Scrappy: Steel Champion and his faithful side-kick, Scrappy, were heroes that the government in the 1950s used to fight in the Cold War. When things subsided, the two were placed into a facility to be held. The facility was officially closed in 1978, but the two remained. They were at one time human, though treated very much like robots. For 37 years they remained awake, driven to a form of insanity from decades of solitude and inactivity. They fought against several Protectors after the two almost destroyed a small Pennsylvania city. They were awoken from their confused mental state and surrendered. Both of them now are free, working with UNTIL as well as receiving psychiatric treatment from the Protectors' own counselor, Aura.

• Tsetse-Bumba: A mystical spirit deity of sorts, Tsetse-Bumba worked at destroying African Violet during a trip to South Africa. Her plan was foiled when her throat was ripped open by none other than Dobergirl... though it remains to be seen if you can actually kill something so powerful.
