The Torch

Name:

Jim Hammond

Alias:

The Torch, formerly the Human Torch

Age:

83

Gender:

Artificial Male

Appearance:

Jim appears human from a visual perspective. He stands at 5’10’’ with his body having an athletic build. His skin appears white, with two baby blue eyes, and a short cut hairstyle that is straw blond in color. Thanks to his Horton Cells, all injuries or wounds can be easily repaired, leaving his skin blemish free. When in his civilian guise, Jim wears plain t-shirts, sweaters, or jackets, all of simple design and color. On his lower half is usually jeans or dress pants, and dress or running shoes, depending on what he has going on any given day.

When in his hero guise, Jim wears a red bodysuit that is flame proof, with a gold belt, arm bracelet and collar. When his powers are activated, Jim is completely engulfed in flames, his features barely visible from behind the inferno.

Personality:

Despite being an artificial human, Jim has much more humanity than some other people. Since his creation, Jim was effectively a child in an adult body. As such he was easily manipulated and often believed people by default. This optimism of youth led to Jim wanting to be a hero. But the atrocities of World War II led to Jim having to grow up. While he entered the war with wide eyes, by the end they were tired eyes.

Upon being revived in modern day, Jim has questioned where he actually belongs. He is a man out of time, an Android, and a superhero. Because of this, Jim often feels like an outcast, attempting to latch onto something. At one point that thing was the V-Battalion, but now it’s the Avengers.

When actually connecting with people, Jim is easy to get along with, being friendly and of good spirit. While he can make friends pretty easily, Jim has a much harder time with romantic relationships. He has only had a few, though he still idolizes his first with his teammate Spitfire.

Powers:

Jim is a synthetic human, close enough to a regular human that he has all the same weaknesses. His skin can be pierced, his bones broken, or receive head trauma. However as a synthetic being, Jim can be easily repaired if a person knows what they are doing and have access to Horton Cells.

An unforeseen aspect of his creation was that he gained the ability to gather the oxygen around himself and ignite it, surrounding himself in flames. When in this state Jim can control the temperature in his immediate area, can fire blasts of flame, and even fly. These flames abide by the rules of normal flames, so water, lack of oxygen or flame retardants can extinguish them. Using these flames also draws on Jim’s internal body energy. He can only maintain the flame form for a few hours before they will turn off automatically. After that he can’t use them for a while until his energy recharges.

It is unknown if Jim can technically die. As long as some piece of him exists, he can be rebuilt using Horton Cells. However, he may not be the same person in this new build, raising the question if this is a new identity.

Skills:

Jim is well read, familiar with classical literature. He also is skilled as a mechanic and pilot, always having a way with machines. Years of fighting in the war has left Jim a capable combatant, being personally trained by Captain America. As part of some side studying, Jim has begun to learn how to code as he wants to better understand machines. Jim is also an avid fisherman.

History:

BRIEF VERSION

Created as an artificial man, Jim Hammond would start out as a mindless being on fire. After being manipulated by a mobster into committing crimes, Jim would develop morals and learn to control his powers, becoming the hero the Human Torch. He would then become a police officer and clash with the villain Namor. When America joined the war, Jim was made a part of the superhero team the Invaders. He would work with the team for the duration of the war, meeting both his love Spitfire, and his adopted son Toro.

After a botched attempt to kill Hitler, Jim was left in a deactivated state. He would remain in this mode for several decades, before his body was stolen by AIM and the Mad Thinker. The villain revived Jim, minus his memories, only for an elderly Toro to come and rescue him. Once his memories were restored, Jim and Toro would capture the Mad Thinker, but Toro would be injured. Jim would give him a blood transfusion that returned his youth.

Jim, now going by the Torch, would explore the modern world, before joining the V-Battalion. This society of Nazi hunters would be a good fit for Jim as he became a mentor to another Android named Tara. But Tara would be revealed to be a double agent when Hydra was revealed, destroying the V-Battalion before Jim put her down.

Jim would temporarily leave the hero life, moving to a small town. He had a nice few months there before he was dragged into a bout of insanity for Namor. The remaining Invaders would defeat Namor, after which Captain America offered Jim a position in the Avengers organization. Jim would almost immediately accept.

LONG VERSION

It was in 1939 that brilliant scientist Professor Phineas T. Horton perfected what he called Horton Cells, a synthetic material that perfectly replicated human life. Using these cells, Horton created an Android, a synthetic being. But as soon as it was activated, the Android burst into flames. Horton would douse the flames and deactivate the Android. He would try to turn it on several more times, but always with the same result. Thinking him a failure, Horton sealed the Android in a tube. But there was a leak in the tube, allowing oxygen in which activated the Android.

Escaping his tube, the Android would go on a rampage, before being taken in by Anthony Sardo, a local mobster in New York City. Sardo would convince the Android to commit crimes for him. The Android would comply as it began to learn things. Eventually the Android developed morals and confronted Sardo, killing the mobster. Also during this period, the Android would learn to turn his flames on and off.

Professor Horton would track down the Android and apologize to him. Deciding to help him, Horton would create a new identity for the Android, named Jim Hammond. Using this name, Jim would become a regular member of society. He would befriend his neighbors the Raymond family, and become a police officer. Jim would keep a low profile until the Atlantean mutant Namor attacked New York. Jim would battle him to a standstill, the media dubbing him the Human Torch.

When America ended up joining the war, President Roosevelt had Jim join the Invaders, a team of powered individuals meant for fighting the Nazi’s most devious creations. Alongside Captain America and former enemy Namor, Jim would soon meet Hydra, the Nazi’s secret science division.

Following up a lead on Nazis in New York, Jim would run into the Raymond’s son Thomas working at a circus. Apparently his parents had died in a train wreck right as he was developing mutant fire powers, so he had nowhere to go but use his powers as a sideshow. Jim would then adopt Thomas, having him join the Invaders under the name Toro.

Many others would join the Invaders over the course of the war. A notable one was Jacquelin Falsworth, sister of team member Union Jack. After being bit by a Nazi vampire, she would receive a blood transfusion from Jim. This saved her life, but the mixture of the bite and the Horton cells gave her powers, allowing her to join the Invaders as Spitfire.

Jim would initiate a relationship with Spitfire, his first true one. Jim and the Invaders would continue to fight the Nazis until the disappearance of team leader Captain America and his sidekick Bucky. After that the Invaders fell apart. Namor would go back to Atlantis, while Spitfire and her brother were recalled to England.

This left just Jim and Toro, who continued with the push to Berlin. They had orders to kill Hitler who was sequestered in a bunker. But the Fuhrer had a guard squad of powered individuals, including Master Man and Warrior Woman. It’s not exactly clear what happened exactly in the bunker, but it left Hitler dead and Jim deactivated.

Jim’s body would be returned to the United States and placed in a facility of the Strategic Scientific Reserve. Jim would lie there deactivated for several decades. That was until the terrorist group known as AIM broke in and stole everything. Jim’s body would end up in the hands of the Mad Thinker, who wished to use his Horton Cells to make a weapon.

But AIM would itself be raided by SHIELD, and Jim recovered. Now reactivated but lacking memory, SHIELD would bring in former agent Thomas Raymond, aka Toro. The former partner of Jim would help him regain his memories. The two would then depart for the secret city of New Berlin, where the Mad Thinker was working with Nazi remnants to make an army of Horton Cell beings.

Jim and Toro would defeat the Mad Thinker and his creation, the Inhuman Torch, but Toro would be injured. Once again giving someone his blood, Toro was healed and had his youth restored. The two then returned to SHIELD, Jim turning down an offer to join the organization.

Jim would then take some time to rediscover this new world. He would learn that there was another hero using the name the Human Torch, so he shortened it to just the Torch. In his travels he would meet the V-Battalion, a society made up of heroes from World War II who just hunted Nazis. Jim would join up, meeting once again some former members of the Invaders. He would also take a young synthetic being named Tara under his wing.

Then the reveal of Hydra controlling SHIELD happened. Suddenly secret Hydra cells activated all over the world, targeting all superheroes. This included Tara, who had a secret Hydra program inside her. She destroyed the V-Battalion base, and killed its leader Citizen V. With no other option, Jim put her down.

Depressed, Jim left the superhero life. Moving to Blaketon, Illinois, Jim started a new life as a mechanic. Jim would live there for several months until he was attacked by Atlantean forces. Jim would be rescued by Captain America, who revealed that Namor had gone crazy due to psychic tampering done by Professor X. The remaining members of the Invaders would unite to save Namor from himself.

Once that crisis was over, Captain America offered Jim a place in the new Avengers organization he was founding. Not being able to say no to Steve, Jim accepted, uprooting from Blaketon to a room in Avengers Mansion.

Sample Story lines:

• There is a new Citizen V that is trying to rebuild the V-Battalion. Who are they and what are their motives?
• Tara seemingly comes back from the dead as an envoy for a society of synthetic beings. Will Jim join his fellow Androids?
• Upon learning of how Jim’s blood can heal people, various organizations try to get a sample. Anyone with Horton Cells is targeted, including Toro and Jim’s former love Spitfire!

Extra/Notes:

This version of the Torch is mostly inspired by the Earth-616 version, but I’ve changed some things up along the way. I’ve mix and matched events from the comics, changing up the order. Jim text color hex code is #DE301D.

Wiccan

Real Name: William “Billy” Kaplan
Codename: Wiccan
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Personality: Billy has always been a nerd. He has been a fan of all sorts of forms of entertainment. He adores superheroes. He often gets excited about stuff related to his interests. Billy is generally optimistic and happy go lucky. Even when he was being bullied, he tried his best not to let it bog him down too much.

Billy is a bit of a hard-head. More often than not, he'll run into a dangerous situation with little more than a half-baked plan and a hope that things will come out okay. He's passionate about what he believes in, and becomes disappointed whenever a hero he's idolized doesn't live up to expectations.

Powers/Abilities: Wiccan’s powers are extensive, unpredictable, powerful, possibly mutant, and most definitely magical. Typically, his abilities manifest as electrokinetic energy from his hands, which Wiccan can manipulate in numerous ways—both offensively and defensively. Wiccan can also teleport himself and his teammates over long distances, fly, create objects from thin air, levitate objects, project force, energy, ice, heat, and fire, and create force fields and other solid energy objects.

Skills: Enjoys video games, and is good at them. Is also an artist and likes to draw.

History: The Avengers Vision and Scarlet Witch once had twin children. This was an extraordinary occurrence, considering Vision is a synthetic being and Scarlet Witch is a chaos magician. Unfortunately for the couple, the children were undone. Still they were eventually reincarnated as regular people.

Billy was born the eldest of 3 sons, to parents Jeff and Rebecca Kaplan. When he was young, Billy realized he was gay, and so took a lot of abuse from classmates. After getting into a fight with some bullies, Billy has an encounter with the Scarlet Witch. She heals him, and tells him to stand up for himself.

That’s exactly what he did the next time he had a run in with that same bully. Unluckily for him, the electrokinetic aspect of Billy’s powers manifested, and the bully was nearly killed.

After that incident, Billy began to practice his magic powers, and wished to find Wanda again, to whom he felt a special connection. He believes she may have activated something in him when she healed his injuries that day. Unfortunately for him, this was around the time the Avengers disbanded after it was revealed that Hydra was in control of SHIELD.

That didn’t last too long. He was soon approached by Captain America. He had recruited him to join a New Avengers Initiative. How on Earth Captain America knew who he was, Billy did not know, but he wasn’t complaining. After he graduated from high school, he moved in to the old Avengers Mansion. There were some heroes he recognized, and some he didn’t. Including one boy who looked almost exactly like him but with white hair. He didn’t know what was up with that.

Sample Storylines: Children’s Crusade: Billy and Tommy discover they are the reincarnated souls of Wanda’s twin boys, and they look for Scarlet Witch. And Vision too I guess…

Drama involving magic

WiccanxHulkling: I want Billy/Teddy romance!

Speed

Real Name: Thomas “Tommy” Shepherd
Codename: Speed
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Personality: As is typical of a Speedster, Tommy has a hard time sitting still. He thinks the world moves too slow, and is waiting for everyone else to catch up with him. He is reckless, and arrogant and likes to show off whenever he has the chance. He tends to shoot first and ask quest later.

He's incredibly cynical about relationships and friendships lasting. Nonetheless, there is nothing more than Tommy wants to be loved. He will be loyal to someone when he finally learns to trust them, and he will never hesitate to do something that he deems right.

Tommy is incredibly worried about failing and disappointing people he admires or respects. As a result, he will often push himself past his limits and sometimes needs to be stopped from harming himself.

Powers/Abilities: Tommy is a speedster. This means that he can run at speeds that a normal human would never achieve. His top speed is unknown, but he is fast enough to break the soundbarrier and run over water. His body is made in a way that allows him to endure frictions that would flail anyone else alive and bones that are made not to shatter in a collision at high speed. That doesn't mean he is invulnerable; a bullet at any speed could kill him.

Besides running fast, Tommy also functions incredibly fast. He can do things at speed nobody else can and has a brain to match them. His brain is made to function at incredible speeds that allow him to catch all the details during a run. This also means he can read a book in mere seconds and remember everything he has read.

A major setback to his powers is that all this has left Tommy with a skewed perception of time. What might be minutes for somebody is hours for him and it is both incredibly frustrating and lonely for him.

Skills: He has never stuck with a hobby for too long. He gets bored quickly. He does enjoy a good fistfight, but isn’t formally trained.

History: Tommy was born to Frank and Mary Shepherd in New Jersey. His parents divorced when he was barely four years old. Tommy lived mostly with his father after his mother rejected him, believing him not to be her son due to the fact that he barely resembled his parents with his striking white hair and green eyes. Tommy spent most of his childhood getting into trouble; he could barely sit still for longer than five minutes and was often bullied for this and his unnatural hair color. Frank got a girlfriend who was anti-mutant and felt Tommy was one and they often fought. Frank often took her side and disapproved of all Tommy's accomplishments or lack thereof.

He often got into trouble, and was in and out of juvenile hall for various things. His powers manifested when he was thirteen year old. He was in school when it happened and lost control over his powers instantly, blowing up the math class. Tommy was sent to a superjuvenile hall because of his record as troublemaker and the fact that he was a mutant.

Superjuvie was not a good time for Tommy. There was a lack of adherence to basic human rights. Tommy's parents never came for him, even though they were informed, leaving Tommy bitter and angry with parental figures. Scientists took an interest in a speedster with an ability to blow things up and Tommy was poked and prodded like an animal as they tried to turn him into a weapon. He had been there for months, before being paid a visit by Captain America.

He wasn’t judgemental, and didn’t treat him like some kind of criminal. He would be released from the facility, under the condition that he would serve on the new Avengers initiative. Between that and jail, the choice was obvious. So, he moved into the old Avengers Mansion. There were a bunch of other people there, including another boy who looked exactly like him, but with black hair. Weird…

Sample Storylines: Tommy’s storyline is connected to Billy, but I would like him to have something of his own too.

Captain America may have plucked Tommy out of Superjuvie, but he still needs to atone for his actual crimes. Perhaps that involves saving other imprisoned mutants?

Also, Tommy deserves a Love interest too, so he has to meet Prodigy. Likely the previous thing relates to this.

Black Cat

•• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ ••

Name: Felicia Hardy

Alias: Black Cat

Age: 27

Gender: Female

Appearance:

More Images

Personality: ☙ Cunning ☙ Imaginitive ☙ Vivacious ☙ Secretive ☙ Impulsive

Powers:

• Cat-Like Reflexes: Felicia is able to maneuver easily, flipping, diving, and the like. She also lands on her feet and has great balance, which allows her to move about the city with ease.
• Bad Luck Aura: Felicia has no control over this power. Rather it turns on automatically, but only to those in her field of view. This passive power alters the "luck" of those Felicia sees, leading to bad luck for her enemies.
• Retractable Claws: Built into Felicia's suit, these claws extend from her hand and can aid in a fight, providing a nasty cut, and can also help Felicia climb things easily.

Skills:

• Lockpicking
• Martial Arts
• Acrobatics
• Hacking
• Criminal Justice
• Singing
• Assessing Valuables

History: Growing up, Felicia did not know what her father did for a living. The only thing she knew was that he was gone most nights and that her family lived pretty well off compared to others. As she got older, her father gradually opened up to her and brought her into the fold of his line of work: High-Market Heists. Her father knew what to target and when and made a pretty penny off of it.

Her father trained her, starting off small with petty thievery such as picking pockets, and moved her on to tackling larger hits. Felicia found she had a knack for this. This was only compounded by the fact her father was so proud of her.

When Felicia was 12 years old, her father was shot by a friend of his after betraying him. He was left bleeding out in the streets. Taken to the hospital with extensive injuries, the doctors informed her father and herself that he did not have much time. Her father encouraged Felicia to give up the life he raised her in as it would only lead to heartache. Soon after, her father passed.

Felicia burned with rage. She continued to work and train, pulling off hits well into her adolescence and young adulthood. This was the time that Felicia donned the Black Cat ensemble. Felicia's targets got more and more dangerous and deadly. Felicia went so far as to target the man who shot her father. This led to a confrontation between the two where Felicia clawed his face. Left with the opportunity to end the man's life, she was stopped by a masked hero named Spider-Man. The hero pleaded with her to not take his life and to be better. Felicia, angered by the interruption, allowed the man to go free. She fled soon after.

Felicia continued to steal, but in the back of her mind, Spider-Man's words echoed. She hated what she had become. Her father, despite his past, would never have killed anyone.

So Felicia decided the life of crime was not for her. In this redemption arc, Felicia started her own business, a private detective firm. Having insider knowledge of the city's criminal underbelly and using her former thief skills for good, Felicia was able to get a steady flow of cases. Felicia, during this, reached out to Spider-Man as a way of connecting with him and thanking him for showing her what she could become.

Sample Story lines:

• A past target seeks revenge against Felicia and wants her dead. Due to the fact she has had many targets, this does not narrow down the list of people it could be.
• A new case leads to a trail of murders, throwing Felicia into the thick of it. What lies at the end of the journey is a new adversary.

Extra/Notes:

• Connected background to Spider-Man and Lizard
• Due to her having her own private detective agency, I am willing to work with others who may have crossed paths with her, either during her time as a criminal or after she went good and started her business.

[Redcord]

THE MIGHTY THOR

Name: Thor Odinson
Alias: The God of Thunder, Prince of Asgard, the Thunderer.
Age: Roughly 2000 years.
Gender: Male
Appearance: Standing at an even seven feet, Thor is a giant of a man. With arms as thick as tree trunks, and a musculature to match. Often Thor is clad in chainmail made in the forges of Asgard and a black tabard sewn with six roundels bereft of heraldry and appearing as little more than blank steel that go from his chest to his waist. He has a winged helmet, with a sheet of chainmail going down to his neck and covering his face. A red cape is thrown over his back, covered by a gray wolf's pelt. Thor’s face is rough hewn, covered in a thick blond beard, and framed by long blond hair. His eyes are lightning blue, and glow when he actively uses his domain.

Personality: Throughout the myths that spawned from the adventures of his youth, Thor Odinson has always been a protector of humanity. Time has done nothing to dull this. Indeed, his long life has made him rather honest, seeing it better to speak a painful truth than keep a pleasant lie. Honorable to a fault, he will seek to spare his foes if possible. Thor will often do what he thinks is necessary, even if others disagree with his actions. Yet when the Odinson gives an oath, it would take the work of mighty forces indeed to see him break it.

Powers:

Strength: Alongside the God of Thunder is a lesser known aspect of his titles: The God of Strength. When it comes to contests of simple brute force, it is hard to find one more capable than Thor. From taking the Hulk himself on in a fist fight, to throwing cars and lifting boats, it is no exaggeration to say that any who sought to restrain Thor often had to seek more esoteric means, such was his simple strength.

Durability: One cannot be strong without also being able to endure your own strength. Thor’s body is built to take the powerful forces he can put out, which in turn makes him rather durable. From bullets, tank shells, and blows from the Hulk, Thor is able to take a great deal of punishment and come back swinging. However, durability does not equal immunity from pain. While his body can take a great deal of punishment, Thor himself might be overwhelmed by the sheer pain and be rendered unconscious.

Flight: Due to a mix of his dominion over thunder, and his own hammer, Thor is able to fly. It is, predictably enough, not subtle in the least. Often being accompanied by the crack of thunder, he is wreathed in lightning as he flies.

Electrokinesis: Fitting for a God of Thunder, Thor has control over one of the simplest, yet powerful forms of energy. If not in the way some would expect. Thor can summon storm clouds with a simple pulse of will, drenching the area in blackened clouds, rain and thunder in defiance of the local weather or local terrain, a desert for example. While he is capable of guiding those strikes of thunder, he most often directs them towards himself, letting his hammer–and by extension himself–be energized by their power for a short term boost. Often leading to him directing that energy out from his hammer, usually by smashing it into the ground, pointing it at someone, or simply throwing it at his foes.

Skills:

Warrior: Thor is a warrior born. From the moment he could walk, his father has taught him how to fight. For thousands of years he has taken his hammer to many a foe of Asgard and Midgard both, which has given him a frightful mix of experience, skill, and simple natural talent. Thor fights brutally, with powerful, heavy blows, seeking to win a fight the moment it starts. This could potentially leave him open to more skillful, agile opponents…if even they could avoid the Thunderer.

Hunting: A long lifetime of fighting threats to Midgard, and indeed simple hunting for food, has given the Odinson a considerable skill in tracking. He recognizes many beasts from the Nine realms, though his focus lies more in the area many would consider fantastical. He is, after all, more used to tracking trolls and dragons than foxes and elk.

Ruling: While it has not been a skillset often exercised by the Prince of Asgard, he has been taught the basics of ruling. Though many would likely find its considerations more medieval than modern governorship. He’s admittedly somewhat rusty at it, spending his time more as a defender than a ruler, but it makes him decently good at shouting at people.

Magic: While Thor does not use magic, a long life spent in Asgard and royal tutors have given him a basic understanding on how it operates. And, more importantly, how to recognize it. He is by no means a Sorcerer Supreme in the mystic arts, but he holds a greater understanding than most would suspect in it.

History:

Born thousands of years ago to King Odin and the Earth Goddess Gaea, Thor has always been a stubborn headed fool.

In his youthful years, when he was still red of hair, he traveled Midgards northern reaches, sometimes with friends, sometimes on his lonesome, and doing battle with mighty creatures. As well, of course, going on grand benders truly worthy of song. He was an arrogant, preening youth, wielding his blade in drunken rages and injured pride with equal measure.

That all changed the day when a band of Jotun snuck onto Midgard, content to pillage and eat their fill—not just of elk and fish, but people too. Thor himself stumbled drunkenly into one of the villages they were raiding. Where, to his horror, he saw the Jotun feasting on the townsfolk. Consumed with rage, he took his blade and charged the band all by his lonesome.

The battle was fierce. He lost.

He was fished from the river by Sif and the Warriors Three, and taken to Asgard to heal. As Odin gathered warriors to hunt the beasts he denied Thor a position in their ranks. Too hot-headed, too arrogant, too foolish. Thor did not rage as all expected. Instead he quietly departed for the deep areas of Asgards palace. There, in its depths, he found Mjolnir. Dejected, yet curious, and filled with grief at his own failures, Thor made to lift the hammer. He was the first since Odin himself to grasp it.

When he went to his father then, Mjolnir clipped to his belt, there was no question that the Prince had changed. He joined the hunt, and smashed in the Jotun leader's head himself. Since that day Thor has changed. He became wiser, calmer, and considered himself the protector of humanity. He has battled many foes then, dark horrors, terrible mages—indeed, one of those battles even resulted in the bleaching of his hair to its current state—alien invaders and all the monsters the Nine Realms have to offer. The latest of which was Hydra itself, some ‘old’ organization of Midgards that managed to outlast the war which spawned it.

Thor joined the Avengers in their earliest days. He was not as staunch a member as some of them would perhaps like, for as Prince of Asgard he always acted by his own remit. But when called to battle he always answered, Mjolnir in hand. Even as some in Asgard begin to clamor for his return, to put an end to his centuries long ‘hobby’ in regards to Midgards defense.

So far, Thor has refused.

For he has made an oath. And it would take powerful forces indeed to see him break it.

Sample Story lines:

Asgardian Disinterest: Earth, or Midgard as many Asgardians call it, has long since managed itself. Confined to their own planet Midgard has thus proven the more ignorable of the Nine Realms. Now things are more chaotic than ever, with the Light and Dark elves seeming on the brink of war once more, the Frost Jotuns stirring, and forces from outside the Nine realms seeking to expand their interests, Asgard is spread thin. Many clamor for the Prince to put aside his hobby with the Midgardians, and take Mjolnir to the Nine realms once more.

Old Man in Modern Times: To put simply: Midgard is different from the times of old when Thor roamed its lands. It has evolved considerably, in technology, thought, and people. Coming from Asgard, a mighty well of eternity, stasis some might say, to fast moving Earth takes some adapting to. Indeed, some officials do not take well to the Prince of Asgard, which amounts to royalty of another world, much less a country, acting like he does on Earth. To complicate matters further some people don’t even believe he is who he claims to be: Thinking him some fool taking inspiration—or even outright stealing—from myth, depending on their charitableness. Indeed, his own views on things may lead to some isolation from even other heroes, if the bridge cannot be crossed.

Extra/Notes:

Mjolnir: Made from Uru, ore from the first moon in existence, Mjolnir is Thor’s signature weapon and, indeed, his companion. A plain looking hammer lacking any embellishments, it is nonetheless rather powerful. It does not split apart the universe, summon stars or destroy worlds. No, the hammer is powerful because of its simple, stubborn will to endure. Many have tried to undo it through all its years of existence, and it has denied them all. In a way, it is as much a shield as it is a hammer. Indeed, only those it deems worthy may lift it. Any who tries, and is found wanting, simply cannot. Thor is able to toss his hammer without a care, for with a flicker of his will he is able to bring it back to his hand just as easily. With Mjolnir often simply smashing through whatever interposes itself between the hammer and its wielder.

I am Iron Man

Name: Anthony Edward Stark
Alias: Iron Man
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Appearance:

The Man

The Machine

Personality: Tony Stark is brazen, egotistical, and slightly condescending. He has a hard time expressing seriousness even in the face of grave danger or cataclysmic odds, instead hiding behind a facade of sarcastic remarks and intellectual superiority. Tony prefers to outsmart, outbuild, and outplay whoever he is opposed to, trying to reserve resources unless absolutely necessary. He feels a tremendous guilt for the devastation caused by Stark Industries, specifically the countless weapons and designs that were stolen and sold illegally by Obadiah Stane. He feels a personal responsibility for each life lost at the hands of the weapons he designed.
Powers:

Iron Man Mk 42 Modular Armor Combat System

Superhuman Strength: The Iron Man suit is capable of lifting upwards of 50-100 tons. Higher levels of strength are possible with the right suit configuration, and with significant energy depletion.
Flight: Max flight speed possible with significant exertion is Mach 1. Higher flight speeds are possible with external boosters, or lighter suit configurations.
Energy Conversion: All Iron Man suits have built in solar panels, conduction generators, and capacitor banks to absorb solar, thermal, and electrical energy. This helps keep the suit from depleting energy during routine operation.
Enhanced Durability/Shielding: All Iron Man suits are, by definition, suits of armor. They protect the wearer from significant physical harm. Heavier suits provide more built in protection and durability, while lighter suit configurations provide less defense.
Repulsors: The standard weapon used by all Iron Man suits. Repulsor technology allows for flight, evasive maneuvers, and for the firing of "repulsor rays" to incapacitate enemies. This technology is a Stark original.
Unibeam: The repulsor to end all repulsors. The Iron Man unibeam is a high risk, high reward weapon system attached to the chest of all Iron Man armors. It unleashes a singular, large beam of energy that is incredibly powerful. Unleashing anything more than a standard repulsor ray from the chest depletes significant energy from the suit.
Precision Lasers: More of a tool than a weapon, precision lasers mounted in the wrist of most Iron Man suits allow for precision cutting.
Stark Industries micro-Smart Missiles: A Stark exclusive weapon, micro-Smart missiles have micro-navigational systems built in and connected remotely to the Iron Man suit to allow for precision targeting. These missiles can pack anything from concussive rounds for non-lethal takedowns to high-grade explosives for remote demolition.
Sensor Arrays: A useful took in granting telescopic, microscopic, thermal, or x-ray visual imaging for quick study and analysis on the scene. On-board microphones, military grade radios and cellular systems also allow for long-range audio scanning and audio enhancement... while also keeping Iron Man connected to the group call.
FRIDAY: The on-board AI program designed to aid in maintaining the equipment and interface with the Iron Man suit in ways Tony can't.

Skills:

Weapons Engineer: Tony's primary skill lies in his ability to craft advanced weaponry. While this is often used to focus on the development of new Iron Man armors, Stark is more than capable of designing or deconstructing high and low tech weapons. He has been known to make do with nothing more than a box of scraps.

Adaptive Intellect: Tony Stark is, undeniably, a genius. He speaks nine languages, is a chess grand master, and a brilliant multitasker. If Tony Stark does not know how to do something already, he's a quick study. And for the things he doesn't know, an incredibly advanced AI that is always on hand can fill in the gaps.

History: Tony Stark has the same history everyone is familiar with. Spoiled rich kid inherits the family business, Stark Industries, once he's an adult and breezes his way through an engineering degree at MIT. At the ripe age of 22, Tony is invited out to a number of events and meetings in the middle east with high ranking U.S. military officers. His convoy is ambushed between meetings, and Stark ends up in a cave with Ho Yinsen and dozens of men connected to the Ten Rings organization. Stark is held captive to make new weapons and as ransom, but spends this time in captivity building himself a suit of armor to aid in his escape. Ho Yinsen dies in the escape, and Tony Stark is brought back to U.S. soil with a new lease on life and a new purpose. He could build a suit of armor and become a hero in a cave with a box of scraps. With his company's resources... the sky was the limit.

To keep in line with early comics and to depart from the MCU, Tony does not publicly announce his identity. The Iron Man primarily focuses on recapturing or destroying weaponry made by Stark Industries. After a year or two, it becomes clear the connecting link is Stark Industries. Tony Stark disavows and claims ignorance of the Iron Man. This buys him a few years time, until Tony discovers that his own right hand man Obadiah Stane has been selling Stark weapons illegally for years. This forces Tony to take down Stane, who has his own Iron Monger armored suit. In the aftermath, Tony Stark admits that the Iron Man is a prototype combat armor developed by Stark Industries. Stark is forced into a deal with the U.S. government to avoid litigation and arrest, in which Stark develops the War Machine suit for Col. James Rhodes. Stark Industries is also forced back into the weapons market, with the biggest buyer being SHIELD.

In more recent years, Iron Man has been chasing leads regarding stolen or missing weapon shipments for SHIELD. Stark didn't realize until Hydra was revealed that he had been almost directly funding HYDRA's war plans and operations. Iron Man joined the Avengers at this time to stop HYDRA once and for all. Tony Stark played a major role in helping clean up the mess HYDRA left behind, and hardly slept for months after the fact. He kept modifying his suits, tinkering like crazy, until he settled on the current Mk 42 design. Once word was beginning to circulate in the hero world about the Unlimited project, Tony Stark reached out to Steve Rogers. After a sit down, Stark pledged significant funds and resources from his company to get the Unlimited Project off the ground. At the press conference to announce the partnership, Tony Stark announced that he was going to be investing personally in the Unlimited Project; after all, he was the Iron Man.

Tony is now publicly known to be the Iron Man, dedicated to the Unlimited Project to make sure what happened with Hydra will never happen again.

Sample Story lines:

Armor Wars: With Stark Industries tech having been used by HYDRA forces, a lot of that technology is still in the wind. There are plenty of mad scientists, villains, or CEO engineers who could have gotten their hands on old Arc Reactors or Iron Man suits to reverse engineer. And Tony is dedicated to shutting all these bootleg operations down.

An Exremis Reaction: Stark has had to consolidate Stark Industries after some massive financial blows following the public revelation that HYDRA weapons were based largely on Stark tech. With FuturePharm closed down, former employees stole proprietary and highly volatile nanite technology and sold some samples to the wrong kind of people.

Extra/Notes:

Just as a note, the Mk 42 Modular Armor Combat System is meant to be a variable catch-all to allow Iron Man to function effectively in any mission environment. Tony can use aquatic, space, stealth, or X-buster configurations as needed to fill whatever role is required as an Avenger.

Kate Bishop/Hawkeye

Name: Katherine Bishop
Alias: Hawkeye, the Real Hawkeye.
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Personality: Carefree, funny, a little quippy.
Powers: None, she's a squishy, but also a very athletic human and she is an expert at archery. (Debating on giving her powers as a variant version of Kate Bishop, but feel as if that will destroy the characters.)
Skills: Archery, Keen Eyes, Parkour, and Acrobatic.
History: Kate Bishop was born into the one percent of wealthy, her mother was insistent on her being perfect. Unknown to her, her parents were Hydra Agents. The reason they were training her was to become a Hydra Agent later down the line and would have succeeded if it hadn't been for the timely intervention of the Avengers, who fought and arrested her parents. She was twelve when this happened and the revelation that her parents were Hydra shocked her so much that she resolved never to be associated with Hydra or anything related to Hydra.

So she continued training, going on missions to try to get street credit. Eventually she did but due to her simliar style to the Avenger's Hawkeye, she was called the Female Hawkeye. This annoyed her to no end at first, eventually trying to style herself a different name. This was before she realized the ultimate hero credit was simply to join the Avengers, but she didn't for the longest time given her past. Eventually after a near-death situation involving the super-villian Kingpin, she realized that she needed partners and thusly joined the Avengers.
Sample Story lines: Secret experiments, unknown to her, giving her an edge over normal humans, making her more durable, faster, with keener eye sight and perception. Basically making her a low-tier superhuman. And of course, classic training under the original Hawkeye.
Extra/Notes: I hope I'm not too late, I actually forgot this site existed for few day.

Quicksilver

Name: Pietro Maximoff
Alias: Quicksilver, Piers Maximoff
Age: Wanda’s age (28 ish? 30?)
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Quicksilver is six feet even, 175 lbs and slightly on the lanky side. He has blue eyes and most notably, silver hair.
Personality:
He’s impatient (comes with the territory), impetuous, and easily distractible. He fakes confidence, which sometimes makes him come off more arrogant than he is.
Powers:
Super Speed/Physiology/Metabolism, Superhuman reflexes and stamina, quick intelligence in that he can read something very quickly, however retention is another issue. Weaknesses: Impatience, Anger Management, he’s undergone mental breakdowns and bouts of depression.
Skills:
Can speak Russian, Serbian and a few Romani dialects. He can fight (thanks to his speed and training from Cap), and play piano. Naturally pickpocketing.
History:
Pietro (Piers) and his twin Wanda grew up in Serbia (Sokovia, depending on what canon you want the game to be in) believing they were the children of Django and Mayra Maximoff until they were about 9 or 10, when one of Stark’s missiles destroyed their home and killed their parents. Piers was overprotective of his sister as they grew up on the streets of a war torn country. They traveled as Rom, finding the nomads to be hospitable and welcoming to two war orphans - until their powers began to manifest.
Piers’ superspeed was helpful to say the least, he was an expert pickpocket and was able to steal food to support his sister and Rom family, but Wanda’s powers were a bit more problematic. Wanda’s hex powers caused a home to burst into flames, and the Rom, being a superstitious people branded her a witch. Mob mentality took over, despite her brother trying to protect her, and they were saved when Magneto stepped in. Grateful to Magneto, and angry at Stark, who they believed responsible for the death of their parents, they were raised in seclusion to get a better handle of their powers which were intended to fight the Avengers. It was there they learned his true intention - he was actually the twin’s father, who was now using them as weapons. Seeing the err of their ways, they took refuge this time with Captain America, the Avengers and the United States. Piers later left, spending time between helping rebuild the war-torn country and in the states, trying to live a ‘normal’ life after Wanda fell in love with Vision. His mental health was suffering. The sister he looked out for and doted on no longer seemed to need him, but when Cap called about the new initiative, Piers was all to happy to don the Quicksilver uniform once again - especially after learning of his sister’s disappearance.
Sample Story lines:
I’ve been talking to Crimson Flame about ideas concerning Billy and Tommy, about Piers piecing things together, and I’m looking forward to working with him. Finding Wanda will be a priority for Piers. He also is not fond of Vision at all. He can act as a mentor for the boys if he’s able to earn their trust.
Extra/Notes:
I’ve left out the Crystal/Kree/Luna storyline, but kind of combined Age of Ultron with some comics and parts I liked. Piers is currently too immature to be in a serious relationship, but he does like to play the field.

Dagger

Name: Tandy Bowen
Alias: Dagger
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Tandy is 5’5 and 115 lbs, with blue eyes and long blonde hair, with an unusual light color mark forming a C around her right eye. Physical genetics were kind to Tandy, thanks in part to a supermodel parent.
Personality: Outgoing, friendly, flirty, but misses being ‘normal’
Powers:
Lightforce generations, she generates “living light” generally in the form of daggers. She steals some lightforce which can weaken opponents, and can usually control the daggers to stun, paralyze or kill. Light manipulation, lightforce purge (she can remove toxins or drugs from a person’s system), weakness: Her lightforce only works on living beings. She couldn’t for example throw a dagger through a door or use it to pry something open. She can become agitated or feverish if she collects too much or loses too much lightforce. Lightforce can be addicting. She has to control the amount she drains from someone, as the more she collects, the more ‘drunk’ belligerent she can become.
Skills:
She has had years of classical ballet training,
History:
Tandy grew up wanting for nothing except love. Her self-centered ex-model mother Melissa and Roxxon exec father Nathan were miserably married, spending most of their together time in spectacular fights that often culminated in police visits. She often retreated to her room with headphones to dance to avoid hearing the fighting. At 14, her father was driving her home from ballet while arguing with someone from Roxxon about an oil rig danger. As he heard the rig explode, the distraction caused him to swerve into a semi, sending the car careening off a bridge into the water. Nathan, was unconscious, and Tandy began to panic as the car started to sink. Something in the falling debris, a wave of energy gave her the strength to escape, saving her father in the process. Nathan Bowen believed he was saved by divine intervention, and set off to find spirituality, but not before draining his family finances to donate. Melissa, who had once relied on youth and looks now found herself in a dire situation. She quickly re-married Phillip, Nathan’s co-worker/best friend from Roxxon. Phillip made uncomfortable advances on Tandy which Melissa turned a blind eye to. Fearing for her safety, Tandy left, catching a bus to New York with no plan in mind. Outside of the Port Authority terminal, Tandy was almost robbed, but saved by a young homeless boy named Tyronne Johnson. She bought him food, and they became friends.

They survived on the streets, selling everything Tandy had brought with the exception of her ballet shoes. They aren't proud of it, but they survived however they could, generally by stealing until they were rounded up like stray dogs, and injected with an experimental drug D-Lite, she and Tyronne would be the only two that survived. Whatever happened to Tandy in the lake grew stronger, and with a bit of practice, learned control of her powers. Tyronne learned had powers, and the two would then team up to help other kids from suffering the same types of fates. They targeted anyone who preyed on the cities vulnerable youth, but Tyronne’s power was out of control. The older they got, the stronger they became. They based their operations out of a church in New York, where a priest was concerned that Tyronne’s powers were dark magic or demon based. As Cloak grew, was not able to stop his darkness from becoming all consuming, and the priest turned to Dr. Strange for help. It was Dr. Strange and Wong who would take Tyronne to the mirrorverse where he remains. Tandy would stay on with Strange for a bit, later joining the Avengers.

Sample Story lines:
Tandy has yet to find/confront the person responsible for killing her and Tyronne’s friends with his experimental drug.

Roxxon Corporation - I see them as purveyors of some shady things, Tandy’s father will be under investigation for whatever happened the night of the explosion.

Tandy’s father’s storyline. He would gain his own powers from the incident in the lake, using them for evil instead of good, he believes himself to be a god.

Extra/Notes:
I combined a bit of the the short-lived Cloak and Dagger series with the comics. I know Dagger was an Avenger during the Civil War series, but I’m willing to make any changes.
