Full name: Valeria Richards Alias: Doom Age: 14 Power: Valeria has very little in the way of what could be called superpowers. Aside from a few pieces of exotic technology and knowledge of some spells she picked up while learning from Dr. Doom, she has the regular capabilities of an 'ordinary' teenage girl. Skills: What stands out about Valeria is her profoundly gifted intellect. Having shown signs of genius at an extremely young age, her father has often remarked that she is even smarter than him. Her pedigree aside, Valeria's mind is her greatest tool and her deadliest weapon. Add to that her time under the tutelage of an alternate universe's Victor von Doom and there are very few challenges, mental or otherwise, that she can not surmount.

Super villains, time travel, alternate universes, you name it. She had seen it all. In fact, she was starting to get bored with the constant perils her family seemed to face on a daily basis. So when a Future Foundation field trip gone awry left both her and her brother lost in time and space, Valeria decided to make the most of it. With Franklin as her somewhat unwilling accomplice, the two of them set out on what would become the adventure of their lives. The years they spent away from home profoundly changed both Valeria and Franklin, but Valeria's experiences in one dimension where the Fantastic Four's adversary Dr. Doom had triumphed over his reality's version of her parents left a lasting impression on Valeria. This Doom's world had suffered greatly after losing Reed and Susan Richards, and he had come to regret his victory at the cost of losing his greatest rival and former closest friend. When he discovered Valeria, the child of his vanquished foe who bore the name of his past love, Doom saw it as an opportunity to make up for his grievous mistake. Although Valeria was hesitant at first, she eventually accepted Doom as her teacher. Having learned a great deal from her time under his wing, the two of them devised a way to return Valeria and Franklin to their world. Once they returned, however, they discovered only a week had passed in their home reality. The now significantly older siblings eventually settled back in with their family and friends, although many of them noticed the darker turn Valeria's personality had taken. No one was more concerned by this than her father, but Valeria assured him she was still his little girl. Still, Reed Richards has been keeping a close watch on her as of late, hoping the world's next greatest evil mind is not currently living under his roof. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Full name: Thomas 'Tommy' Shepherd Alias: Speed Age: 16 Power: Super speed Skills: Tommy has picked up a few things from his time in juvie that occasionally prove useful, although most of them wouldn't exactly be considered legal. From breaking and entering to hot wiring cars, he has learned all the tricks of the trade one could imagine might be in a young criminal's arsenal.

He always seemed to be in some kind of trouble, a tendency which only got worse as he got older. As a result, he ended up spending a good deal of time in various juvenile detention centers and "special schools". These experiences only embittered him all the more towards authority figures, and by the time he was a teenager most everyone had written him off as a lost cause. One day at yet another school he had only recently transferred to because of problems he had at the previous one, Tommy ran afoul of a group of boys who didn't like the way he talked back to them. It was hardly the first time Tommy had gotten into a fight, but it would turn out quite differently from the many other scuffles he had been involved in during his short life. As they ganged up on him, Tommy charged the nearest one before any of them could land a blow. To his surprise, his body blew right past the other boy and to the other end of the school building in the blink of an eye. Confused but elated by the discovery of his new abilities, he made short work of the others who scarcely had a chance to register what was happening. By the time they were all taken care of, however, Tommy discovered he couldn't slow down. He became a human whirlwind, tearing through the school and endangering the lives of everyone within it. Luckily help arrived in the form of another student with strange powers. Even stranger, however, was the fact that he looked almost exactly like Tommy. The uncanny resemblance and sense of connection shared by the two became the basis for a partnership that brought new meaning to both their lives. All they needed was a chance to show the world what they could do to make it a better place.
