Okay, Legion character application here. Let me know if any changes are required.THE PRETTY LADY
[ ◈ ] N A M EAngela Mannheim
[ ◈ ] A L I A S E SThe Pretty Lady; Boss of Bosses
[ ◈ ] A G E35
[ ◈ ] B I R T H P L A C EMetropolis, Delaware
[ ◈ ] A L L E G I A N C EIntergang, the Legion of Doom, the Elite
[ ◈ ] P O S I T I O NBoss of Intergang faction of Legion of Doom, undermining League territory and securing funding
[ ◈ ] A P P E A R A N C EAngela Mannheim is an incredibly vain woman who was entirely too sensitive about her father's nickname “Ugly”. As such, a good portion of her personal income has gone into plastic surgery to the point that she is barely recognizable as human. Experimental and expensive treatments have made her 7 feet tall, stick thin, and improbably proportioned. With her blue eyes, designer clothing, and blond hair she seems more like a unsettling living Barbie doll than a human being.
[ ◈ ] A B I L I T I E S // S K I L L S // E Q U I P M E N TAngela Mannheim has no inherent superpowers but has used her immense fortune to buy several special weapons that she keeps on her person.
She keeps a thumbnail-sized chunk of Kryptonite in a lead-lined box with her at all times.
A concealable but powerful Amertek Toastmaster pistol.
She also carries around thirty Miraclo pills on her, the formula stolen from Hourman years ago. Ingesting one pills gives her an hour of superhuman strength, stamina, and speed (enabling her to lift up to 25 tons, bounce high-caliber gunfire off her skin, and run up to 80 mph). The effect only lasts one hour and then requires 24 hours of cooldown before it can be used again without risking overdose. Angela is in denial about it but is slowly becoming addicted to Miraclo.
[ ◈ ] L I M I T A T I O N S // W E A K N E S S E SWithout Miraclo Angela is a normal human being and as vulnerable to damage as anyone else. Long run, her numerous surgeries and extensive drug use are going to have a very detrimental effect on her health.
[ ◈ ] B I O G R A P H YDaddy's little girl. Those can be three dangerous words when put together, especially when Daddy is the biggest crime boss in North America.
Bruno “Ugly” Mannheim was the leader of Intergang when superheroes first started to appear. Unlike other crime syndicates that organized along ethnic lines, Intergang treated existed gangs like the mafia, yakuza, posses, and cartels as their farm leagues, hiring up the best and brightest. Based out of Metropolis, Intergang was soon pushing the envelope for organized crime, stealing and developing their own weapons and technology. Times were good for Intergang, at least until Superman arrived in 2017, the same year Ugly's only child was born. Some of Superman's earliest battles were against Intergang, dealing the organization same major defeats until other, more pressing menaces pushed Intergang further and further down the hero's to-do list. In a way, however, Bruno Mannheim viewed that as even more of an insult- he wasn't even important enough to finish off. There are whispers that burning with hatred for the Kryptonian, he began conducting dark rituals, reaching out for something that eventually took a personal interest in the Mannheim family. It is true that for her entire life, Angela has had dreams where she is whispered instructions by a cloaked hunchback, a robed nobleman, and very rarely a hulking red-eyed figure.
Bruno Mannheim soon began to give lessons to his daughter and most trusted subordinates. Unexpectedly, they were religious in nature. Mannheim asserted that traditional morality was a reversal of true morality, that the Bible should have venerated Cain for creating the sacred crime of murder. It was the beginning of the Religion of Crime, practiced in secret by members of Intergang. Cruelty and greed would be rewarded one glorious day. Angela believed wholeheartedly in this new religion, converting as many Intergang members as he could. As she became more dogmatic in her worship of crime, refusal was met with death. Conversion became a requirement of membership in Intergang.
From the beginning Angela was groomed as a successor to her father, both as a priestess and a boss. She was denied nothing, spoiled endlessly, taught to disregard the lives of anyone but herself- after all, selfishness was a central tenet of the Religion of Crime. Her aging father saw the promise of the Legion of Doom and joined Intergang to them- they soon became an excellent source of funding and manpower to them, operating their rackets in the developed world controlled by the League. Bruno often told his daughter, though, that their loyalty was not to the Legion but to the things they often dreamed of, who he called the Elite. One day the Elite would come, sweep aside the heroes and villains alike, and the Mannheims would be rewarded. Angela's natural vanity and cruelty was sharpened, and while at face value she accepted the Legion she privately plotted against them as well- the Elite had often told her in dreams how fondly they regarded betrayal.
Shortly after the Shiruta Pact was signed, the elder Mannheim, now confined to a wheelchair, became too old and feeble to run Intergang. He passed the reins to his pill-popping, surgery-addicted daughter, expecting her to continue his work and prepare for the coming of the Elite. In the meantime, Angela tries to enhance her own standing within the Legion and has a few ideas up her sleeve to do exactly that.
