Hell Hast No Fury: Losing control of her anger after feeling alienated on Earth, as well as feeling like her life has been mired by pain and suffering. Kara becomes a member of the Red Lantern Corp.

BRIEF Bio:

Kara was born in Argo City and as a child, she was taught much about Kypton’s history and culture. When she was nineteen years old the sun of Rao went supernova and was about to shatter Krypton. Kara’s father sent her out into space in a rocket that could only hold one passenger. And to her displeasure, she made the painful choice of leaving her home and family behind. The rocket puts her into a cryogenic sleep. Landing on Earth caused her pod to malfunction and would not open when she landed. Her pod was studied by the American government while her cousin was a young child. Many years later her pod opened with Kara being disorientated not knowing where she was.

The hero named Steel took Kara under his wing. Mentoring her because her cousin had been in a coma before her awakening. Being taught how to control her powers is still something she struggles with. She lives among the humans in Metropolis, working as a journalist for the Daily Planet and wanting to take over the position of protector of Metropolis while her cousin is out of commission.

Name
Teth-Adam of Canaan

Alias
Shazam

Age
Approx. 3,500 years (Actual) | 12 years (Teth-Adam) | Mid/Late 20s (Shazam)

Personality
Courageous, Judgmental, Overconfident, Selfless, Ashamed

Powers

• Homo magi: As a descendant of Jebediah of Canaan, Teth was born with the ability to use magic. Even when not empowered, his connection to the Rock of Eternity marks him as the current Wizard and one of Earth's foremost magic users.
• Magical Empowerment (SHAZAM): When invoking the ancient magic, Teth is transformed into a demigod-like figure. Beyond the physical changes to his appearance, the effect imparts abilities associated with the heroes and gods of his native Ancient Egypt:
  • The Stamina of Shu (invulnerability)
  • The Speed of Horus (heightened reflexes, flight)
  • The Strength of Amun (super strength)
  • The Wisdom of Zehuti (genius intellect)
  • The Power of Aten (magic, immortality)
  • The Courage of Mehen

Weaknesses

• Lightning Rod (Area of Effect): Casting SHAZAM invokes the power of the Rock of Eternity to come down in the form that is likened to a lightning strike, wherever Teth may be on Earth. This can be dangerous for anyone in arm's length of him when he does.
• Earth's Champion: Teth's powers are inextricably linked to the Rock of Eternity, the focal point of Earth's magical leylines. He was chosen to be the Earth's protector, and a consequence is weakened the further from the Earth that he travels. Beyond Earth's moon, he is sufficiently weakened as to be unable to use magic or transform into Shazam. This means that he is fully mortal and can experience both aging and death.
• Will and the Word: Spellweaving requires two elements; mental concentration and vocal utterance. Anything which interrupts or prevents one or both of those aspects will prevent Teth from being able to use his magic, including to transform himself into his empowered state.
• Say My Name: As Shazam is the magic spell that changes him into (or out of) his empowered state, Teth cannot give such as his name without changing or calling down the lightning.

Background Hero
Tempest

Appearance

As Teth-Adam, he presents as a young "tweenage" boy whose bronzed complexion marks him as ambiguously Greek, Arab, or Hebrew. Small, by modern standards, his back still bears the scars from his time under the lash of slave taskmasters. He has wavy, black hair and green eyes (a trait once associated with Northern Egyptian people).

As Shazam, he presents as a herculean figure in physical prime, approximately mid-to-late twenties. His color, hair, and eyes are the same, with the figure seemingly the avatar of Teth's future self. A towering 6-foot-5-inches and 240 lbs, the black-and-gold clad figure is imposing even without his demigod-like abilities.

Potential Storylines

• The Orb of Ra: When archaeologists in Egypt unearth a relic of the ancient world, they unleash the very evil that Shazam was created to stop... Ahk-Ton.
• Of Gods and Men: Seeking a return to the mortal world, the Demon Sabbac manipulates a once small time crook into selling his soul for power, becoming Shazam's equal in a race to stop Hell on Earth.
• Powerless: Teth finds himself on an alien world and has to overcome a challenge as a boy without his magic or powers.
• Boulevard of Broken Dreams: Someone from the League learns of Shazam living homeless on the street.

BRIEF Bio
Teth-Adam was taken into slavery at a young age, the victim of Egyptian raids on the nomadic Canaanite tribes of the region known as the Fertile Crescent, sometime during Egypt's Eighteenth Dynasty. While still a child, he stood up to the task masters, earning himself a death sentence. Meanwhile, the balance of power in the Ancient World was disrupted by the appearance of a demonic artifact which the Egyptians had dubbed the Scepter of Ra, which corrupted the soul of a priest named Ahk-Ton and created what may have been the Earth's first supervillain. One of Earth's earliest heroes, the Wizard Shazam, found that he could not both fight the forces of Hell and stop the threat of their avatar in the mortal plane. Seeking a champion who could stop Ahk-Ton while he dealt with the unseen evil manipulating events from the shadows, the Wizard chose Teth for his demonstrated bravery and courage... though the fact that Teth is the last survivor of the Wizard's tribe may have also factored into that decision.

Rescued from death and given the power of the Rock of Eternity, Teth-Adam not only defeated Ahk-Ton but inspired a slave revolt that led to the creation of one of the wonders of the Ancient World, the founding of Khandaq -- the slave's kingdom. If Ahk-Ton was one of the first supervillains, then Shazam was one of the first superheroes, his exploits and adventures spreading across the globe to inspire many stories that followed, from Heracles to Gilgamesh to Beowulf. And, for a time, Teth was everything that the Wizard expected him to be, but being showered with praise and celebrated as a hero soon turned to worship and Teth spiraled into hubris in buying into the belief that he was a god above men. Chosen to be Earth's champion, his thirst for more power and glory led to his becoming the nemesis of the Ancient World. This led to a confrontation with the Wizard that led to Teth unleashing a spell that sundered his amassed kingdom, destroying its most ancient cities and forming divisions that still exist in the founding and borders of modern day Bialya and Khandaq.

Seeing his kingdom destroyed by his own hand, the gravity of what he had become sank in, and Teth accepted exile in the Rock of Eternity, where his removal from the mortal world would prevent his giving in his thirst for power. He became the Wizard's apprentice and, eventually, his successor. Thousands of years later, he is still working on himself. As such, he had no plans for leaving the Rock of Eternity, afraid of inviting temptation to return, but recent events and the removal of many of Earth's modern defenders have left its ancient champion no alternative but to say the word once more.

Notes

• Theme: Imagine Dragons [Bones]
• In his "alter ego" as 12-year-old Teth Adam, he lives on the street in Fawcett City, using an abandoned section of subway as a hideout and sleeping in an old railcar.

Name: Shane Smith

Alias: Shane, The Changing Man

Age: 23

Personality (again, by definition susceptible to change): Unassertive, Self-defacing, Insecure, Pessimistic/Set-upon, Snark/Sarcastic

Powers: Possesses a Miraco developed M-Vest from Meta which was formerly owned by the Justice League Dark hero Shade.

The M-vest (also known as the Miraco-Vest - and colloquially as the "Madness-Vest") is capable of tremendous and amazing powers ranging from the latent and lesser (protective force field, illusion forming, some minor flight) to the vast and literally reality breaking when utilised with purpose by a master.

It is largely intuitive in defense of its wearer, but is heavily affected by the mental state of its wearer as well as the mental state of the viewer.

Weaknesses: Yeah... about that "by a master" bit. He ain't. In fact he's a bit (read: a lot...) of a fuck up.

Background Hero: Zatanna

Appearance: Within the multi-coloured, ever-shifting M-Vest, he generally just wears a black tee and pants.

Potential Storylines: Shane is, much like his powerset, a 'changing' man. Maturing and slowly figuring out the person he should be. His story's going to be a gradual arc in that direction, but with ebbs and flows as his life's often adrift on the currents of one who wears the 'Madness Vest'.

I'm not opposed to friendships or relationships forming within the JLU, albeit organically. But understand he's not exactly a stable presence and the person he is - by his very definition - is changing. So how well those friendships and relationships are kept through the turbulent waters of his life, we'll see.

BRIEF Bio: Shane loves music. If anything has defined him it's been his presence in the indie/underground rock music scene, booze and the drugs which are often found in the festival scene.

His life was stagnant. He did enough to scrounge tickets to the next gig. He lacked drive and ambition.

His parents, frustrated with their inability to get him to focus and get his life on a path. Any path. Have kicked him out of their house.

Things have taken a horrible turn for the worse.

Searching through the racks of a local Second hand clothes store, he stumbled upon a strange and colourful item.

Due to a mix-up in boxes, the M-Vest of the now deceased Rac Shade - a former hero of two worlds, known by few as 'Shade, the Changing Man' - had wound up amongst the belongings for re-sale.

A quick, dirt-cheap purchase, based on the fact he thought it would look cool for an upcoming festival saw him burdened with a terrible responsibility. He was now in possession of one of the most dangerous, and powerful objects on Earth. A fetching item of clothing capable of bending reality itself.

After an informative run-in with members of the Justice League Dark after a, well... let's call it a particularly memorable festival experience, a horrible realization fell upon Shane.

Whilst it was truly worrying what he was now potentially capable of, the alternative - removing the M-vest and leaving it with someone else... someone who would inevitably be more driven if only by virtue of actually WANTING to be in possession of such a thing - would almost certainly be worse.

Through a horrible twist of fate he'd been forced into what his parents have long wanted for him... a situation where he was going to be forced to learn personal responsibility and change and grow as a person to be someone 'worthy' of the terrifying power which he could now potentially wield.

The Justice League Dark - whose members included Ragman and the Enchantress - suggested the best place for him would likely be somewhere that the Justice League could keep him under close watch, and monitor and aid in his growth as well. Zatanna had the best reputation amongst the group and upon her vouching for him Shane has become one of the newest members of the expanding League.

Notes: The M-Vest functions on the mental state of the wearer.

Shane's own brain has been addled by booze and drugs not only in recent years, but in the late developmental phase of his brain's growth.

This will not go without impacting his overall story.

I'm tying together all Shade continuity in a neat little bow... the Ditko stuff, the Milligan stuff. Even the stuff which contradicts and flies in the face of the other stuff. It all happened in a twisted, contorting reality.

...but furthermore, this is Shane's story now.
