The Legion of Superheroes RETURN

It was all a blur. Andrew hadn't been in a real battle since Legionfall, and one of the machines was quick to take advantage, before he had even changed form, he had already been harmed. Growling, Andrew extended his arms, watching as the metal quickly pushed down his arms towards his fingers.

"Try that again!" He yelled to the squid, which obliged, allowing Andrew to deflect its tendril with his forearm.

Ferro Lad: 17 hp (+1 from defensive technique)
Tech Squid 2: 5 HP

With a laugh, Ferro pushed out his chest and leaped at the squid, smashing it thrice with his fists, destroying it. After the squid fell to the ground, he pulled it into two pieces and threw both at the humanoid robot, laughing as they detonated against the brute's chest. Ferro always laughed in battle, he always had, it was a side effect of the adrenaline and the fear, a failsafe just in case the battle broke him, and he knew nothing could kill him, well, most things couldn't.

"All of you, focus on the last one." He said, grimacing at the overly-dramatic Daxamite, who growled and screamed as he fought enemies so weak even Rokk could handle them in his current state.

Ferro Lad: 17 hp
Tech Squid 2: 0 HP (Three attacks from Ferro for -6 hp, the squid is DEFEATED)
Minion-1: 8 HP (Ferro's Sig deals -4 HP)

Again sipping on the tea, which he had suddenly grown quite fond of, Khnemu ran his hands under his hood and pulled up his chin.

"I am a sworn protector of Earth, I aim to protect it from whatever attempts to harm it. Though, with my cult having long passed, I must have to do it myself, perhaps Narmer still walks, it would be great to see another immortal." He said, referring to the first pharaoh, Narmer, another immortal who Khnemu had dealings with in the past. Suddenly shooting up his head, he snapped his fingers, a puff of sand flying out due to the friction.

"Another odd thing I have to note, your people have lighter skin than that of my people, are you descent of the northerners in Syria?" He asked. The Egyptians had darker skin, though lighter than those in Nubia. Khnemu's skin appeared a light green, though this was mostly due to paint.

Khnemu nodded simply when Malacoda asked him for his history. Slowly sipping the liquid as Malacoda had showed him, he looked off into the distance and clicked his tongue.

"I cannot say I'm a fan of this drink," he said, motioning to the tea. "As for my history, well, I was born the son of a court scribe under the pharaoh Amenemhat. I was taught calligraphy and art in my youth, and as such, I've never suffered the life of a peasant. For the majority of my life, I lived under the rule of Senusret, Amenemhat's son and successor. At this time, Egypt was in a golden age, the pharaoh was powerful and the harvests were good, men wandered through the land smiling for ear to ear, and yet there was still death. I grew fascinated with the power Osiris had over the people, how he could take them when they were fat-bellied and happy. Eventually, I became devoted to the god of death and embalming. I castrated myself as had happened to Osiris, I wore green paint to look like my god, and I learned sorcery to add to the dead in his domain. Eventually, I met with the pharaoh himself. He was not pleased with my sorcery, and forced me to promise that I would protect his land for as long as it might take for all of it to be safe."

Khnemu paused to take another sip of the tea, which he had suddenly wanted more of.

"I take promises very seriously. I decided to go to the land of the gods to gain their blessing for my actions. Anubis cursed me to walk this living plain forever, the great serpent Apep poisoned my blood and cursed me to forever rot into sand, and Ra cursed me into a demonic form. Utterly broken, I wandered, searching for a way to fix this, finding Thoth, the knowing god, I begged him to fix me. Instead, we fought in a battle of wits, which I won, gaining his favor. Eventually I found Osiris, who granted me back my form and returned me to the mortal realm, where I stayed for three-hundred years until I was rendered unable to move by an alligator attack. Osiris sent my crippled form into stasis so I could recuperate, awakening me when a champion was needed." He paused and coughed up sand. "That's all."

Taking another sip of the tea, he sighed after he swallowed and leaned back happily.

@rocketrobie2 Energy absorption isn't allowed as per the GM's rules.

@Almosegosum Don't worry, Khnemu doesn't speak Zatannan.

Justice League: Rising from the Ashes

@Almosegosum But decay is kinda the basis of one of his powers... also his blood is filled with demon snake poison strong enough to powderize flesh.

Khnemu grabbed the tea slowly, staring at it for a moment. With a shrug, he poured it into his mouth before sputtering and spewing it from his mouth.

"Gods above, what kind of masochist would drink this? My tongue feels like it's been set alight!" He complained, his tongue flopping out of his lip-less mouth with a wet slap. Shaking his head, he wiped up the spilled drink with his cloak and leaned onto his elbows.

"Apologies, I'll just go get myself some water." He said, wandering towards the door and opening it slowly, looking down both sides of the hall, he again sighed.

"No well? Will wonders never cease, I'm beginning to dread this new world already." Turning back and closing the door, he made a "bleh" noise and again let out his tongue.

"You had something you wished to discuss?" he asked, again sitting.

@Almosegosum Nah, he used to be a sorcerer, so that's my hand-wave.
