CANON PROFILES
Sequenced alphabetically by ALIAS or by LAST NAME
The Canons listed below have important details added to their history to integrate them into the ARKHETYPE UNIVERSE. Any that are not listed default FIRST to their CINEMATIC VERSIONS and in the absence of a movie depiction, an appropriately balanced comic version will be used. As these canons appear more and more in stories alongside our originals new details will be added to the write-ups along with links to the originating stories/episodes. You are more than welcome to incorporate any Marvel or DC canon into your stories, just make sure you've checked the GUIDELINES to ensure that they're allowed.
ARCHANGEL — Warren Kenneth Worthington III was born in Centerport, New York, to Kathryn Worthington and Warren Worthington Jr. and was attending Phillips Exeter Academy when in his adolescence, feathered wings began to grow from his shoulder blades. Spirited away by the ancient mutant Apocalypse before his private jet crashes he restores Angel's wings if Angel will serve him as one of his Four Horsemen. Apocalypse subjects Angel to extensive genetic alterations, giving him blue skin and organic metal wings which can cut through almost anything. While the X-Men cinematic time-line set this scenario back in the 1980's we have bumped it up allowing a thirty-something year old Archangel to exist in our world. Apocalypse is, of course, dead.
AQUAMAN — "Namor's a total dick! But he's got some bad-ass moves." An active member of the Justice League and King of Southern Atlantis. While a truce exists between the two Atlantis's, Arthur and Namor aren't on the best of terms. They possess conflicting characteristics but both desire to prevent war between their peoples.
BATWOMAN — Batwoman is Kathy 'Kate' Kane, a wealthy heiress who became inspired by Batman and chose, like him, to put her wealth and resources towards the war on crime as a masked vigilante in her home of Gotham City. Kane is romantically involved with Renee Montoya, a former Gotham City Police detective who has taken up the mantle of the Question after the original, Vic Sage, her mentor, dies.
BATMAN — The Dark Knight of Gotham always keeps a 'bat-ear' to the ground where his home city is concerned but as a member of the Justice League he has international responsibilities to uphold.
Wayne Enterprises is, like most corporations, struggling to cope with the wildly fluctuating stock market chaotically wavering in the storm that is President Luthor.
INTEGRATION OF BATMAN WITH THE MORBIUS STORYLINE
This is the most altered canon on the site being that Batman is now a Vampire. Of course he's not just any Vampire, he's 'The Vampire'. Just before 'The Fold' Batman took on the most powerful Vampire in existence, Vlad Dracula. In an epic battle, the power of 'The Dragon' was transferred to the Dark Knight, cursing Bruce Wayne with the affliction of vampirism. Of course, this was not just a viral infection, it was the infusion of darkness into a vessel worthy of containing it's power. Batman might have been able to expel it, but as Darkseid descended on the world he chose to use the power against him and in doing so damned himself to internal night.
The Fold itself actually caused an integration of Batman and Morbius. Due to his contracted vampirism the two characters were folded together, thus Batman possesses the knowledge and memories of Doctor Morbius.
Batman possesses all the powers of Dracula (and Morbius) and all his weaknesses with the exception of being repelled by religious imagery. Pure and true sunlight affects him. Artificially generated solar radiation, having no scientific difference will not bother him. It's a mystic weakness. He's able to move in daylight for a few hours before it begins to take it's toll. All his supernatural abilities are suppressed and his strength is weakened to what he was as a human, initially. The longer he spends in sunlight, the weaker he becomes. After two hours he feels the effect, and degrades quickly. Half of an hour later his skin begins to bubble and blister and he will eventually succumb to the light. Getting out of direct sunlight will cause the damage to subside but he will not rejuvenate until nightfall.
After sunset he can transform into a horde of bats, or a wolf if he chooses, but the more he relies on his vampirism the more the nature of the monster invades his soul. He thirsts for blood, and to quench it has developed a blood-subsitutre that provides him sustenance and somewhat curbs his appetite for the essence of living Human blood.
His bite does not produce a vampire, but it can produce a potentially life threatening infection. A person who dies from this infection can come back as an undead ghoul. A ravenous zombie-like minion with few memories of who they once were. Because of this, and basic morality he will not allow himself to feed off Humans. As a result he is always at odds with the darkness within him, and is far from reaching the full potential of his vampiric strength and speed.
BEAST — Hank McCoy is seventy-something years old, maybe eighty, but his mutant physiology keeps him at peak performance.
While working at a nuclear power plant, Norton McCoy was exposed to massive amounts of radiation that affected his genes. As a result, Norton's son, Henry "Hank" McCoy, was born a mutant who showed the signs of his being different from birth with his unusually large feet. We then follow the cinematic history of X-Men First Class.
Aside from his super-human strength and agility, Hank also has a doctorate in genetics and is considered one of the world's experts on mutations and evolutionary human biology, despite never having earned a Nobel Prize.
BEAST BOY — Based on the Netflix "Titans" series. Only exception is that his skin is always green.
BLACK ADAM — He has own agenda and cares only for his own power but Black Adam can once in a while be swayed to lend his powers to the right EVIL CAUSE.
BLACK CAT — Felica Hardy is open for interpretation.
BLACK CANARY — Dinah Laurel Lance's "cry" is an inborn metahuman ability. Her canary cry has been depicted as having ten-fold the capabilities of most sonic weapons and has even been depicted as breaking metals and having the resonance to affect and shatter the Earth.
BLACK LIGHTNING — Jefferson Pierce grew up poor and with few expectations put on him. But rather than coast through life, he decided to challenge himself at every turn. As an adult, he entered the Olympics and won three gold medals. He furthered his education, then turned to teaching so he could help young people realize their own potential as he had. But gang violence and criminals kept threatening his community and his students, which is when Jefferson Pierce decided to no longer hide from the metahuman abilities he had been born with and started fighting evil as Black Lightning.
While some vigilantes just want to stop crime or punish criminals, Black Lightning tries to help communities become stronger. As a superhero, he wants to be an example that people can fight back against predators and opportunists. As an educator, he tells kids that who they are in life is their own choice, regardless of circumstances. Whether on his own or with teams such as the Justice League and the Outsiders, Black Lightning will always strike when justice is needed.
Black Lightning can absorb electrical energy, and utilize it for various purposes which include: enhancing his speed, convert the electrical energy into some other form of energy, use the electrical energy to regenerate/heal himself.
After 'The Fold', Superman gladly gave the leadership of the Justice League to Black Lightning, who had proved time and time again to be the leader that the League truly needed. One who could remain objective and offer Superman the guidance he himself required.
BLACKOUT — Marcus Daniels is open for interpretation but please refer to the comics instead of TV shows. More about Blackout_(Marcus_Daniels)
BLACK PANTHER — One is as likely to find Black Panther prowling the back streets of Africa, as the dark allies of New York. Wakanda strictly monitors it's trade, and King T'Challa is almost ALWAYS present at any meetings that will directly impact the well-being of his country. While T'Challa has in fact reached out to the world and revealed the technological prowess of his nation the country still remains hidden and closed to visitors. Any attempt to infiltrate the country is viewed as an act of war and trespassers face the harsh justice of Wakanda and be declared prisoners-of-war. Wakanda is absolute on this, showing zero tolerance for any attempt to breach their borders. There are Wakandan embassies in several nations as well as Outreach Centres in America and Africa.
T'Challa still pines for Storm and has been trying to rekindle their relationship.
BLACK WIDOW — Government treatments have slowed her aging, augmented her immune system and enhanced her physical durability making her stronger and faster than normal.
Before "The Fold" Natasha went back to Russia and for a time worked alongside Piotr Rasputin who had adopted the name "Proletariate". They had a relationship. After "The Fold she left Piotr and returned to America, seeking out Bruce Banner, unfortunately, Superman found him first. When 'The Hulk' was killed Natasha was devastated, his death, meant the loss of her beloved Bruce Banner. Consumed with vengeance Black Widow plotted to make his murderer suffer — she would kill Superman. She spent a year using all her resources to acquire the one thing that could destroy the alien god — kryptonite. She then infiltrated the Justice League, proving her loyalty until she was allowed to set foot in the Watchtower. There she studied her quarry, got to know him, to understand him, until the day came that she had won his and the confidence of the other members; the day she would avenge Bruce Banner, but the assassin couldn't do it. Kal-El, consumed with the guilt of Banner's death had pretty much exiled himself and there wasn't much more she could do to him than he hadn't already done to himself. Affections that had been false, blossomed true. She had began to care for him, leaving her with the decision of whether to pursue those feelings and tell the Man of Steel the truth or leave all together.
CAGE, LUKE — After a sabotaged experiment leaves him with super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive trying to rebuild his life in modern day Harlem, New York City. But he is soon pulled out of the shadows and must fight a battle for the heart of his city--forcing him to confront a past he had tried to bury. As per the television depiction.
Even though the Avengers possess special privileges, even they are held under scrutiny, their every move is under the microscope of Luthor's administration. Steve has to be careful, but he loves America too much to sit back and watch it being butchered by corruption and greed. These days, Captain America best serves the nation by maintaining a spotless record, walking the straight and narrow, never providing the 'haters' with ammunition to tarnish his shield.
He and Wonder Woman have met, and enjoying one another's company prompted Steve and Diana to go out on a few dates. Steve has never met anyone like Diana.
CAPTAIN ATOM — Nathaniel Adam is being blackmailed by President Luthor to utilize him as his own personal enforcer when required. He is forced to be the 'poster-boy' superhero backing Luthor's government.
CAPTAIN MARVEL — Play-by: 'Michelle Rousey'. Carol Danvers is the commander of the Alpha Flight Low-Orbit Space Station, a secret agency disguised as a project. She monitors from space and has global jurisdiction. As an international agent she is more invested in the world as a whole.
Carol has grown close to Superman and the Justice League. They commonly work together.
CATWOMAN — As is so often depicted, Catwoman and Batman have a 'love-hate' relationship going on. They are not yet aware of one another's identities, but in our setting both have developed 'feelings' for the other.
COLOSSUS — In his Human form, Piotr Rasputin is 6'6", and in the 1% of the strongest Humans on the planet. He's well trained in hand-to-hand combat, and very fast for his size making him an extremely formidable opponent. As the Colossus, of course, few are able to match the steel giant. While he's not HULK-Strong he did stand toe-to-toe with the green goliath.
Before 'The Fold', Piotr had returned to Russia where he worked briefly with Black Widow and the two had a relationship. After that, he was manipulated into working for the Russian Government as the 'Proletariate'. Seven years went by, but staying in his metal form for most of the time, Piotr barely aged. The physical age gap between he and Katya had significantly closed, but the two have grown apart. He would like to be friends again, but they both parted on uncertain terms.
We do not acknowledge the events of the "Unstable Juggernaut".
CONSTANTINE, JOHN — Constantine has a reputation as being one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world. Despite this, Constantine rarely uses magic, instead choosing to use his wits to trick his opponents. Constantine is also referred to as "The Constant One" because of his whole family tree being somewhat connected to the occult. Many of his ancestors are sorcerers from different eras of history, and have taken part in many known historical events.
He is shown to be someone with a wide and international circle of contacts and allies, and is adept at making friends. At the same time, his close friends inevitably suffer or are outright killed simply by being in his life; this has left a severe mark on him.
CHEETAH — Dr. Barbara Minerva, alias Cheetah is a British archaeologist who had garnered a reputation to go to any lengths to secure an artifact. Born as the heiress of a vast fortune in the ancient family site in Nottinghamshire, her life would change dramatically following an expedition she led into a dense African jungle. A ritual in which she made a human blood sacrifice transformed her into Cheetah, a form which eventually became permanent.
CROSSBONES — Brock Rumlow led the Savage Crims gang on New York City's Lower East Side, during which time, he assaulted fifteen-year-old girl (Rachel Leighton) and killed her elder brother. Rumlow fled, entering Taskmaster's mercenary school, within three years becoming an instructor under the name Bingo Brock. As a mercenary, Rumlow enlisted with Red Skull, in Algeria, serving him under the name Frag until he was sent to invade Arnim Zola's Switzerland chateau; Rumlow was ultimately the only team member to survive the assault. There, he also met and impressed, Johann Schmidt, the original Nazi Red Skull, who accepted Brock's services and code-named him as "Crossbones".
CYBORG — Nowadays, everyone’s juggling an offline and online persona. But only one hero is a literal marriage of technology and man. Half human, half machine, Victor Stone is Cyborg, a digital and physical tank—and a true superhero for the modern age. Writers are urged to use a combination of the cinematic universe and the comics to depict Victor.
CYCLOPS — After 'The Fold', Cyclops miraculously returned from the dead, more accurately, the events that lead up to his death seemed to change. After his destruction by the Phoenix, Scott was actually in a dematerialized state that reoriented after Jean's death. He's now back at the school and he and Jean are back together.
DAREDEVIL — Matthew "Matt" Murdock is a man who was blinded as a young boy, but was gifted with extraordinary senses. After his father was murdered by mobsters, Murdock dedicated his life to fight injustice in New York City as a lawyer by day with his law firm Nelson and Murdock, and by night as a vigilante known as Daredevil. His actions as a crime fighter put Murdock into conflict with a crime lord named Wilson Fisk. Murdock used his skills to expose Fisk's criminal activities and have him taken to prison.
Daredevil's actions in New York City and his strict moral code soon put him into conflict with the Punisher, a vigilante who believed that death was the only punishment for crime. Daredevil was thrown into more turmoil by the return of his old lover Elektra and his former mentor Stick, who attempted to recruit him into their war with the Hand. Murdock eventually managed to find a middle ground with the Punisher while also defeating the Hand's leader Nobu Yoshioka, although then losing Elektra in the process and watching Nelson and Murdock fall apart as Foggy Nelson still struggled to cope with his friend's double life. Depicted as per the Televison Series, but writers can toss in comic book references as well so long as they are not conflicting.
DEATH STROKE — Slade Wilson, known by his codename, Deathstroke, is an elite mercenary, commonly considered the world's greatest and deadliest assassin. This character has appeared in the 'Green Arrow' series thus we've adopted the play-by. Writer's are encouraged to use a combination of the comics and TV series to depict this character.
DEADSHOT — An assassin, expert marksman and lethal DC Universe villain, Floyd Lawton lives by a simple code: do the job that you're hired for with the least amount of casualties possible—after all, you're not being paid to waste bullets.
DOCTOR DOOM — Every attempt to depict Doom on the big screen has failed miserably. In our setting, his entire body is organic metal and his face is a metal, skull-like version of what it was, thus he often wears a metal mask.
The State University in Hegeman, New York offered Victor von Doom a scholarship. While attending classes there, he first met Reed Richards and Ben Grimm. Doom became obsessed with developing a machine that could project the astral form of a being into other dimensions. He now resides in Latveria and has affirmed a strong alliance with President Luthor.
DOCTOR MANHATTAN — This supreme being is bound by time which he experiences simultaneously. We are keeping him off-planet, located somewhere in the solar system or beyond, and his appearances will be sparse. If a writer possesses the skill and knowledge to properly write this character they could use him in a story befitting his power but we do not want him thrown into stories for shits and giggles.
When "The FOLD" occurred Doctor Manhattan remained constant. His perception of time and space did not diverge which means that he perceives time as it would have been in the DC Universe and is virtually blind to the new "Merged" realities. This means, that he literally exists in another universe, while physically located in the one generated by "The Fold". This makes Doctor Manhattan a conduit for time and reality as it might have been and not what has become. This renders him pretty much obsolete in all things that do not directly affect him, or that he has created.
DOCTOR STRANGE — In New York City, Stephen Strange is an acclaimed doctor and neurosurgeon but is also very arrogant and cares only for the wealth and success his talents bring. A car crash leaves him with irreparable damage leading him to Jonathan Pangborn, a paraplegic who mysteriously was able to walk again. Pangborn directs Strange to the secret compound Kamar-Taj, where he is taken in by another sorcerer under the Ancient One, Karl Mordo. The Ancient One shows Strange her power, revealing the Astral plane and other dimensions.
ELEKTRA — Elektra, also known as Elektra Natchios, is an assassin who was trained under Stick, the same member from the Chaste who later trained Matt Murdock. Elektra was sent by Stick to become the adoptive daughter of an ambassador and his wife who could not have a daughter of their own. Despite Elektra telling him that she would never allow herself to become a part of this family, Stick told her to be smart and analyse how they acted, saying it was a good skill to have to be able to play the role of somebody rich and fancy in order to disguise herself later in life. Stick informed her that someday, somebody would come searching for her and change her life forever, and he would be dedicating himself to preventing that.
She fell in love with Murdock during a mission for Stick to bring Murdock into the organization. She returned to his life after years of absence, putting her beliefs and methods at conflict with his own. Later, she was revealed to potentially be the Black Sky, the one who is supposed to lead the organization of assassins known as the Hand. However, Elektra chose to help Murdock defeat the malevolent organization, and was killed in the final confrontation with Nobu Yoshioka. The Hand then retrieved Elektra's corpse from the grave and placed it in a stone chamber, where a faint heartbeat was heard as the chamber closed. After her resurrection, Hand leader Alexandra Reid manipulated and took her under her wing, re-training her to truly become the Black Sky. After becoming the Hand's personal weapon, Elektra battles against the Defenders.
EMMA FROST — Arkhetype uses 'Ali Larter' to depict Emma Frost. A powerful telepath, she is no match for Charles Xavier if it comes down to it but of course she's possessed of other abilities. Her diamond-form, makes her appear 'crystalline' not diamond-studded, and the form makes her extremely durable, although, not unbreakable. She is the White Queen of the New York Hellfire Club, using her power and influence to shape a better world for mutants who, like her, want to dominate and not hide away like Magneto.
FALCON — Samuel Thomas , better known as Falcon, is a former United States Air Force pararescue airman who retired from active duty and began helping fellow veterans who were suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder at the VA (Veterans Affairs). During this time Wilson became an ally of Captain America during the HYDRA Uprising and assisted him during his search for Bucky Barnes. He is an active member of the underground version of the Avengers.
FLASH — Flash is the ONLY character with temporal warping abilities linked to the speed force (other than his nemesis - Zoom). He assists the Justice League when needed but continues to live his 'semi-normal' life in Central City.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY — Open for interpretation.
GHOST RIDER — Johnny Blaze is open for interpretation.
GORGON — Tomi Shishido is a high ranking operative for both the Hand and Hydra. He commonly found in either New York or Madripoor.
HARLEY QUINN —Love makes us do crazy things. And for the bubbly and psychotic Harley Quinn, that includes dressing in costume, becoming a super-villain, carrying gag-themed weaponry, and murdering countless civilians—all just to put a smile on her puddin's face.
HAWKEYE — An active member of the Avenger's which has now gone underground.
HUMAN TORCH — Johnny Storm's 'play-by' is Devin Paisley. In typical Johnny Storm fashion, the highly publicized crime fighter revelled in the attention of the press, but that was before President Luthor. The Fantastic Four is now under scrutiny, they have to be careful. After the events of the 'CIVIL WAR' which preceded 'The Fold', sides were chose, and Torch and his sister opposed Stark's and Reed's plans for a new 'superhuman world order'. After Reed came to his senses and stepped away from Stark and government regulation the team got back together but they'll never be the same. Johnny is more wary of the media and how quickly it can turn on a celebrity (after his near-death beating), but he still likes to show-boat. He tries to stay out of politics, avoiding questions concerning President Luthor, concentrating more on positive public relations to boost the Fantastic Four brand.
No other 'Fire-based Metahuman' is as powerful as the Human Torch. He actually has the ability to go super-nova making it necessary for the 'powers-that-be' to always have an eye on him, just in case.
ICEMAN — Part of the X-Men, Bobby Drake lives in New York City. He's close with Kitty Pryde, a source of constant jealousy to Piotr Rasputin. When it comes to ICE POWERS, Drake is one of the coolest guys arounds. Few elementals of the ice variety come close to his level.
INVISIBLE WOMAN — Invisible Girl or Invisible Woman is married to Reed Richards and is one of the most powerful superhumans on the planet. Her and Reed do NOT have children.
IRON FIST — Yes, we use a different play-by for Iron Fist as the one who plays him in the series was terrible and barely tolerable in the Defenders. If you are going to portray this character, please read the comics and do not go by the TV show. Daniel Rand is far more than just some guy with a glowing fist and even the comic writers seriously downplay his abilities. Iron Fist is the BEST of K'un-Lun, he has bested all of the other warriors of the SEVEN CAPITAL CITIES OF HEAVEN. The power of the Dragon's CHI flowing through his body elevates his abilities to superhuman levels of speed, endurance and strength. He is a mystical martial arts master of renown power that those bound by Human limitations cannot stand against. Iron Fist is NOT just some wise-cracking smart ass punk side-kick of Luke Cage. On this site he would mop the floor with Dare Devil and Elektra combined.
IRON MAN — Tony's main gig these days is the FEDERAL REGULATION BUREAU, or 'Furby' as he likes to call it. He's a man caught between a rock and hard place, a reluctant hero in the service of a greedy megalomaniac. Tony's not a fan of Lex Luthor, but he's done the math and the alternative would be catastrophic to America and the entire world. So he's stuck, for now, policing the nation with the IRON LEGION and GUARDSMEN units set up in every major city of the United States. It's a program that he truly believes in, one that will save countless lives and preserve the legacy of costumed heroes whom he still believes in. Unfortunately, President Luthor, everyday chips away at Stark's policies. The protocols of the IRON LEGION are manipulated, the Guardsmen are ordered to perform classified missions beyond Stark's control. Things are slowly spirally out of control while Stark struggles to keep it all together.
JEAN GREY — After 'The Fold', Jean Grey returned. Whether it was the last remaining power of the Phoenix force or a warp in reality, no one, not even the Professor could be sure. No one really cared, they were simply happy to have her back, especially Scott Summers. The two are back together and both teach at the Institute. Her telepathy is no where near as powerful Professor X's, and her Telekinetic powers are strong but not outrageously so. She is NOT an Omega level mutant. The Phoenix is dead.
JONES, JESSICA (JEWEL) — Jessica Jones is a private investigator from New York City. After she was orphaned at a young age, Jones was taken in by Dorothy Walker, and developed a sisterly bond with her daughter, Trish. Shortly after being adopted, Jones discovered she possessed superhuman abilities due to the fatal car crash that took the life of her parents and eventually decided to pursue a career as a superhero. However, a fateful encounter with Kilgrave, a vicious man with mind controlling powers, derailed her superhero career and she spent a torturous tenure as Kilgrave's slave before finally breaking free of his control. The experience left Jones suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, prompting her to hang up her secret identity and open her own detective agency, 'Alias Investigations'. As depicted as per the TV series.
JOKER — The Joker is a serial killer and a super-villain, a dangerous madman who dresses like a clown and commits violent crimes. He is often recognized as Batman's greatest enemy, living in and terrorizing Gotham City, although he spends most of his time in Arkham Asylum.
JUGGERNAUT — Cain Marko entered a cave that housed the lost secret Temple of Cyttorak, a powerful mystical entity. Marko impulsively grabbed a glowing ruby from the lap of an idol and read the inscription (which mystically appeared to his mind to be in English): "Whosoever touches this gem shall possess the power of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Henceforth, you who read these words shall become forevermore a human juggernaut." It is difficult to entwine Cain's life with that of his step-brother Charle's due to the deviations of the cinematic universe but try to maintain these connections when depicting Juggernaut.
KANE, ADELINE — Adeline Kane is the leader of HIVE (Hierarchy of International Vengeance and Extermination), known as the HIVE QUEEN, now a division of HYDRA. They have infiltrated a number of corporations through-out America and the world.
KATANA — Tatsu Yamashiro, alias Katana was an average Japanese girl, save for her proficiency in the martial arts. With the Sword 'Soultaker' in her possession, Tatsu began training as a samurai under a master called Tadashi. After much time she graduated from his tutorship and left for America where she intended to use her talents to fight for justice. She took the codename Katana after the sword that she wielded.
After a while, her team, 'The Outsiders', disbanded after various tragic events. A member, Halo was knocked into a coma, saving Katana's life and bound by a 'debt of honor even unto death' Tatsu left the team so she could tend to Halo's wounds. During that time however, she was approached by a family member of her husband, who wished her to accompany the Suicide Squad on a mission.
KINGPIN — Wilson Grant Fisk, New York Crime lord has connections all the way to the White House.
LIBERTY BELLE — Jesse Belle Chambers is the daughter of the speedster, Johnny Chambers (Deceased) and Libby Lawrence (the original Liberty Belle). She possesses the super-strength of her mother and speed from her father. Jesse went on to study meta-humans at Gotham University, writing a dissertation on “Mystery-Men and Their Effects on Culture.” Sources vary on the extent of her powers. In this setting she is a Kinetic Speedster and can move at 800 MPH (faster than the speed of sound 767 MPH) but this is only in a straight line. She can lift up to five tons, possesses super-durability. She is also far older than she appears as her regenerative metabolism prolongs her longevity. Jesse currently lives in New York City and is employed by Genomorph Laboratories as a meta-human specialist working alongside the character Boreal/Atticus Gale.
LUTHOR, LEX, PRESIDENT— Lex Luthor is a formidable man, physically and mentally. Possessed of genius level intellect, Luthor is also quite imposing, capable of arm-curling two-hundred pounds, keeping himself in tip-top shape. His goal is simple, turn America into a dictatorship under his control and use it as a platform to take over the entire world.
Luther is this site's ultimate antagonist and as such, no one character or even a group of characters can take him down. He is too well fortified, but his plans and allies can be defeated in order to set his plans back.
MADAME HYDRA — Ophelia Sarkissian, better known as Madame Hydra, was an officer of HYDRA during World War II. HYDRA has a longstanding tradition of naming the highest-ranking female officer in its organization Madame Hydra. The current one being VIPER. Viper was born in the 1920’s and as a result of her pact with the elder god Chthon, the Viper has slowed her aging process (her hair is also permanently dark green). She also a superb athlete and adept in martial arts, marksmanship, and the use of a bullwhip. She is proficient in the use of toxins and poisons, often creating her very own poisons for whatever a given situation dictates. Viper herself is immune to most toxins and has always found interesting and different ways for spreading her toxins, such as hollow fangs or poisoned lipstick. She herself has built up an immunity to most forms of venom and toxins. She is currently seated at the right hand of the Red Skull in HYDRA.
MAGNETO — Eric is done with humanity. He resides in Genosha, officially the Republic of Genosha, a small crescent-shaped island located to the northeast of Madagascar. There he has created a haven for mutants. So long as the world leaves him and his mutants alone, he remains peaceful.
MARTIAN MANHUNTER — Also known as J'onn J'onzz or John Jones, is a superhero from the planet Mars and the last surviving member of his race. A martian holocaust killed his wife and daughter, nearly driving him mad, until he was brought to Earth in an accident caused by scientist Saul Erdel. His natural abilities include super-strength, super-speed, invulnerability, flight, shape-shifting, intangibility and telepathy. Although he holds great reverence for his homeworld, he has come to greatly respect his adopted world as well and protects it as his home. In his secret identity, to blend into humanity, he is a gritty hard-boiled police officer.
MERA — Mera was once an undersea queen in an alien otherworldly dimension commonly referred to as Dimension Aqua. Several years ago, a criminal named Leron seized control of the kingdom and deposed Queen Mera. Exiled from her kingdom, Mera fled Dimension Aqua for the Earth dimension whereupon she met the Atlantean sea-king, Aquaman.
MISTER FANTASTIC — Reed Richards along with the rest of the Fantastic Four remains in the Baxter Building, now an International Asylum in America, the team considered 'Global' and not subject to all the restrictive American laws opposing super-heroes. Once a strong advocator of the Superhuman-Registry, Reed is now against the law but tries to remain neutral on the subject.
MOON KNIGHT — Born in Chicago, Illinois, Marc Spector is a Jewish-American rabbi's wayward son. As an adult, Spector had been a heavyweight boxer before becoming a U.S. Marine, afterward, he left the United States military to become a mercenary. He later becomes a strong and skilled combatant and befriends the French pilot Jean-Paul DuChamp, whom he affectionately calls "Frenchie". While working for the African mercenary Raoul Bushman in Egypt, the group stumbles upon an archaeological dig whose crew includes Dr. Peter Alraune and his daughter Marlene Alraune. The dig had uncovered an ancient temple where artifacts included a statue of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Intent on looting the dig, Bushman kills Dr. Alraune. In response to Alraune's murder, Spector challenges Bushman to personal combat and is defeated by Bushman and left to die in the sub-zero temperatures of the desert night. More about Moon_Knight

NIGHTWING — The name was adopted by the human vigilante Richard Grayson, taking it after he had graduated from the position of Batman's sidekick Robin. Based on the character from the Netflix series "Titans".
PARASITE — The character Rogue does not exist in this world. Anna Marie LeBeau did exist prior to 2018 where she had leeched Captain Marvel's powers but after the Fold she amalgamated with the DC character 'Parasite'. She exists as Alexandra Allston - 'Purple Parasite' and is a super-villain.
PROFESSOR X — Hands down, Charles Xavier is the most powerful telepath in the world. He moves between his home in Westchester, New York and Genosha, where a new Xavier Institute now stands. He assists Magneto in the governorship of the island, working to protect mutants and ever attempt to promote tolerance of their kind among humanity. When necessary, he will assemble the X-Men.

PUNISHER — Frank Castle is haunted and hunted after the murder of his family and becomes a vigilante known in the criminal underworld as "the Punisher", who aims to fight crime by any means necessary.
PYRO — St. John Allerdyce was born and raised in Australia. His powers emerged at puberty, but since he could not think of a way to use them for profit, for years he did not use them except in emergencies. For a time, Allerdyce drifted from job to job around the South Seas. Eventually, he became a journalist for an Australian wire service and covered Vietnam and Indonesia. What he saw and experienced in his travels became the basis for novels he began writing. (He also wrote torrid Gothic romances.) Allerdyce's novels were despised by serious novelists and critics, but they found wide readership throughout the English-speaking world. Under circumstances that have yet to be revealed, Allerdyce met the mutant called Mystique, who learned of his mutant powers. As a result, Allerdyce joined her in the Hellfire Club.
RA'S AL GHUL — Ra's al Ghul, literally translated from Arabic as Head of the Demon, is an international, immortal eco-terrorist, and an enemy of Batman. Believing that humanity is a blight on the planet, his extremist environmentalism has led him to seek the destruction of modern society. Born centuries ago, he has sustained his life through usage of restorative Lazarus Pits. These centuries of experience have made him an incredible tactical expert and physical combatant, allowing him to establish the League of Assassins. The League exists throughout the world and still remains in America, ever waiting to strike.
RAVEN — Based on the character from the Netflix TV series, "Titans"
RED SKULL — The Red Skull masquerades as Brandt Dietrich, a prominent American businessman born in Germany and still possessing the trademark accent of the villain. In reality he is the more prominent antagonist on a world scale as opposed to Lex Luthor whom he pretends to work for. In truth, neither are fond of the other, but their allegiance is necessary for the time being. The American people need to be ruled by one of their own before they would follow the likes of the Red Skull.
The Red Skull spreads his influence across the nation through the Nazi/Hydra cult called the Skull & Blood Society. Their leaders dress up as the Red Skull and wear masks to make them appear like their cult master.
After the Red Skull was banished by the cosmic cube in the Captain America movie he was sent to the Crimson Cosmos, the residence of the deity of Cytorrak of with the Juggernaut is a current incarnation. There time does not exist, thus he remained there, a tortured soul until the power of 'The Fold' brought him back. In this setting, he was never a guardian of one of the infinity stones. Instead, during is time in the Crimson Cosmos he grew in strength and power.
RED WOLF — EXTENDED CANON PROFILE
ROGUE — SEE 'PARASITE'
SCARLET WITCH — Wanda is an active member of the Avengers, remaining hidden with the rest of the group.
SHADOWCAT — Kitty lives in New York. With an allowance from Professor X and a part-time job teaching classical ballet she lives a low-key life awaiting the call of the X-Men.
SHANG CHI — Was born in Honan province, China, and is the son of Fu Manchu. He was trained from infancy in the martial arts by his father and his tutors. Believing his father was a benevolent humanitarian, Shang-Chi was sent on a mission to London to murder Dr. James Petrie, who his father claimed was a threat to peace. After assassinating Petrie, Shang-Chi encounters Fu Manchu's archenemy Sir Denis Nayland Smith, who tells Shang-Chi his father's true nature. After confronting his mother in New York City for the truth, Shang-Chi realizes Fu Manchu is evil. Shang-Chi escapes from Fu-Manchu's Manhattan headquarters, telling his father they are now enemies and vowing to put an end to his evil schemes.
Shang-Chi joins the Avengers after being recruited by Captain America.
Shang-Chi is a master of Kung Fu. He is among the greatest fighters in Marvel Comics, and has fought the likes of Iron Fist and the Black Panther to a standstill. He is able to do this having been granted no superpowers or enhanced abilities (if you count Chi mastery has being powerless). Like Iron Fist, Shang-Chi can control and channel his own chi. While he hasn't been able to use it to quite the same degree as Iron Fist, it has granted him strength, agility, and durability. It allows his martial arts skills to be almost superhuman in their ability to dole out damage and power. He also has acute hearing and smell, and he can track a target like Wolverine and Daredevil. Notably, in a fight with the Gorgon, Shang-Chi extinguished all light in a room and fought the villain in the dark. Gorgon escaped, but Shang won the duel.
SHAZAM (Captain Marvel) — Billy Batson was a terrible foster child. After the death of his parents and his treatment thereafter Billy had become cold and cruel to most people. Growing selfish and heartless, he went from foster home to foster home until he landed in an orphanage in Philadelphia and was partially forced to live with a new family; the Vasquezes. He decides to leave as he's done countless times before but as he does he's whisked away to the Rock of Eternity where he meets the Wizard. There, he searched the boy's soul and saw that he was not perfectly good. When he told him so, Billy was instantly enraged, telling the wizard off for thinking that perfect good exists. The Wizard, seeing the boy's point, witnesses all the good Billy has done and accepts that the world has changed and now perfection has been exchanged for the hope of becoming good. Although he stated that he won't be able to take them back once given, the Wizard grants Billy the ability to wield the Living Lightning, turning him to the Champion, Shazam.
We adhere the version of Captain Marvel / Shazam that separated the superhero from Billy Batson. They were two separate entities, but in on this site, Bill Batson is now grown up and as such has amalgamated with his alter-ego. Bill Batson can change by calling out his own name.
*Shazam is NOT stronger than Superman.
*Shazam is NOT faster than the Flash.
SPIDERMAN — Peter Parker remains an iconic protector of New York City. He is one of the rare 'Registered' Superheroes that has retained his secret identity, for his protection. He is protected by Tony Stark and is now a man and married to Mary Jane Watson. He maintains a cover job working for the Daily Bugle as a photographer, camera man, graphics guru, while secretly employed by the F.R.B., the records hidden by Stark. This affords Peter capital beyond the means of his civilian lifestyle which is compensated for by stock market investments. He also has access to some of the finest research facilities. He uses the Iron Spider suit and is constantly upgrading it.
SPIDERWOMAN — Spider-Woman was born Jessica Miriam Drew, daughter of Jonathan Drew and Merriam Drew, in London, England. At a young age, her family moves to a lab built by her father and Herbert Wyndham near Mount Wundagore in Transia, where she becomes gravely ill from months of uranium exposure. To save her life, her father injects her with an experimental serum based on irradiated spiders' blood. Because the serum requires a month's incubation, Wyndham places her in a genetic accelerator. Shortly after, her mother dies and her father leaves for the United States, leaving Wyndham to care for her. While in the accelerator, she ages at a decelerated rate. When she is finally released, decades later, Drew is only 17 years old.
Drew is ostracized by the other residents of Mount Wundagore, the High Evolutionary's New Men, since she was originally human while they were animals. Because of this, she eventually leaves to seek human civilization. She is captured by a HYDRA reserve unit under Count Otto Vermis's leadership who erases her memories, brainwashes her, and recruits her as a HYDRA agent under the codename Arachne. One of HYDRA's top agents, Jared, is assigned to train her in combat and espionage, and to seduce her. Once Jessica has become his lover, he allows himself to be captured by S.H.I.E.L.D., so that she can be goaded into assassinating S.H.I.E.L.D. commander Nick Fury.
While battling Fury, Jessica accidentally kills Jared and learns HYDRA's true nature. She quits HYDRA and assaults the unit's base, sending Count Vermis into a fatal crash, but not before he unlocks memory implants that she was actually an evolved spider and had killed a man before her association with HYDRA.[13] Despondent from these revelations, she wanders the woods where Vermis crashed until being recaptured and hypnotised by HYDRA.
STARFIRE — Based on the character from the Netflix TV series, "Titans".
STICK — At a young age, Stick was locked up for ten years. There, he was trained by the Chaste and despite his blindness, he was able to overcome his disability to become a powerful and dangerous warrior. Later in his life, Stick was dedicated to fighting a centuries old war against the Hand, focusing much of his efforts on recruiting and training new soldiers into the Chaste's army.
Due to the war the Chaste had waged with the Hand, Stick was tasked with finding and training soldiers, recruiting Elektra, as she had proved too dangerous to be controlled he abandoned her and trained Matt Murdock instead. Years later Stick recruited Murdock, now working as Daredevil, to seek out and kill the Black Sky just before the Hand could unleash it. With the Hand growing stronger, Stick and Elektra attempted again to recruit Daredevil, but he still refused and instead convinced Elektra to change sides. This then caused Stick to order Elektra's death, eventually leading to him being captured and tortured by the Hand. Stick was saved by his former pupils, and had later witnessed Elektra's death by the Hand leader Nobu Yoshioka, so in response Stick killed him.
STORM — Ororo Munroe, also known as Storm, is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Born Ororo Munroe, her mother, N'Daré, was the princess of a tribe in Kenya, who married the American photojournalist, David Munroe, and moved with him to Manhattan, where Ororo was born.
When Ororo was six months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo, Egypt and, at the age of five, a plane crash destroyed their home. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. This traumatizing effect left Ororo with the severe claustrophobia that still afflicts her today. Ororo managed to escape the rubble of her shattered home with nothing but the tattered clothes on her back and her mother's ancestral ruby. Homeless and orphaned, Ororo was found by a gang of street urchins who took her to their master, Achmed El Gibár. Achmed trained Ororo in the arts of thievery and she soon became his prize pupil, excelling in picking both pockets and locks. During her time in Cairo, Ororo picked the pocket of an American tourist. The man proved no easy mark, however, as he was Charles Xavier, a powerful mutant telepath who used his abilities to stop the theft. At that moment, Xavier was psionically attacked by another mutant, Amahl Farouk (absolute ruler of Cairo’s thieves), and Ororo used the opportunity to escape. Xavier, who acknowledged she was a mutant from her brainwaves, declined to contact Ororo at this point, not wanting to shock the young woman with the true nature of her powers.
Itching to prove her skills as a thief, Ororo once stole a rare ruby-colored gem, the so-called “Heart of Eternal Darkness.” She did so against Achmed el-Gibar’s direct orders. Only later, it would be discovered that the stone contained the essence of the immortal mutant Candra.
Years later, when she was about twelve, Ororo felt a strong urge to wander south and left Cairo. Ororo wandered for thousands of miles, almost dying during her trek across the Sahara Desert. Ororo's mutant ability to psionically control the weather emerged soon after, and she was able to use them to rescue T'Challa, a prince of the African nation of Wakanda, from his would-be kidnappers. The pair shared a romance and spent much time together, however, T'Challa's duties as a prince prevented them from further exploring their burgeoning mutual attraction.
Finally, Ororo reached her ancestors' homeland of the Kilimanjaro Valley on the Serengeti Plain in Kenya. Ororo was taken in by an elderly tribal woman, named Ainet, who taught her to be responsible with her powers. Ororo soon came to be the object of worship of the local tribes, who believed her to be a goddess due to her gift.
Years later, Ororo found herself in the Savage Land and was forced to battle the threat of a mutant energy manipulator, who used Ororo's control over weather, known as Deluge, who sought revenge against humanity. With the help of the team of mutant heroes known as the X-Men, Deluge was seemingly destroyed and Ororo returned to her life among the tribal people. Months later, however, Professor Xavier was left with no choice but to recruit Storm, as he called her, and other mutants from around the world into the X-Men in order to rescue his original students from the threat of the sentient island being, known as Krakoa. Prof. Xavier explained to Ororo that she was not a "goddess", but a mutant and had a responsibility to use her abilities to help the world, just as she had helped the local tribes. Curious, Ororo accepted Professor Xavier's offer and was given the code name "Storm".
SUB-MARINER — For years King Namor McKenzie pined over the beautiful Suzan Storm, but upon setting his Nemedian (North Atlantean) eyes upon the cousin of the one called 'Superman', he longed for no other. Submariner first met Supergirl while trying to prevent two massive oil tankers, caught in a torrential storm, from colliding. In truth, he was not trying to save them at all, he cared nothing for the crews, he was merely trying to prevent their contents from polluting the sea. When Kara arrived, he was immediately smitten by her. Since then, Namor has spent much of his time trying to impress her, especially by attempting to be more tolerant of the surface dwellers. (Play-by: Pietro Boselli)
SUPERGIRL — Right off the hop we'll address where she fits in the power-hierarchy, if they had a fight, Wonder Woman would hand Supergirl her butt. Kara is powerful, but nothing like her cousin. That said, her healing factor would surpass Diana's, but unlike Superman, she is far more dependent on the light energy of a yellow star to keep her strength up. While we're not following the 'Supergirl TV series', we are placing her in National City. This version of Kara is a student attending National City University.
Kara, like all Kryptonians, represents the failed ideologies of that world. She was genetically modified to fit into their societal hierarchy it is due to these flaws that she is ever vulnerable to Human corruption. As mentioned, she is far more dependent on solar radiation (red light does not dampen her abilities, we do not subscribe to that nonsensical lore). She is NOT like her cousin, and her super-physiology is completely reliant on her environment. By developing from a young age in an environment plentiful of solar radiation she had developed super-powers similar to her cousin. Even though we do not allow any other Kryptonian characters, we would not follow the typical mythology where the race immediately becomes empowered in the light of a "younger star". Genetic alterations of this magnitude would take at least a decade or more to develop.
SUPERMAN — Since the death of Lois Lane, the titanic battle with the Hulk and the election of President Lex Luthor, Superman spends most of his time in the Watchtower, distant and brooding (The (animated) battle between he and Shazam has occurred, after which he was made a fool by Luthor's trickery).
Superman's extensive time on Earth, physiologically maturing in it's environment, combined with his 'unusual' Kryptonian genetics have made him more powerful than ANY other Kryptonian could have EVER become. He is a 'Super being' among his kind, thus he greatly surpasses the power of his cousin Kara. After his 'RE-BIRTH', all his psychic barriers removed, Kal-El became aware of just how powerful and untapped his potential was when fought and destroyed the Hulk.
Due to the fact that Superman is a genetic anomaly he is not completely reliant on the solar radiation of Earth's star to maintain his power. Any form of solar radiation can increase his power (red light draining his power is utter non-sense and not recognized here). Varying colours of solar radiation mean absolutely nothing and have absolutely no effect on Kal-El in this depiction because it's all still solar radiation, light is light no matter what colour it is. He can weaken without it, though as proven, his energy stores are incredible and self-regenerating regardless of the presence of a solar energy source. Immediate access to solar radiation simply charges Superman up that much more quickly. This is why he is so much more powerful than any other Kryptonian that would gain power from increased solar radiation. It's also the reason why he doesn't need to breath, unlike other Kryptonians (like his cousin) that need a breathing apparatus in space or in the depths of the sea, though they can hold their breath for great lengths of time, even under immense strain.
Many people either blame him for the current state of affairs or for Luthor's rise to power. Though he did not intend to kill Bruce Banner, many of the man's close friends hold Superman personally responsible. There is animosity between he and Thor over Hulk's demise, and so both avoid one another. Superman now prefers to go by Kal-El, his Clark Kent persona is only used when he visits his mother or requires the disguise. For a time he wore a less formal black costume but has since returned to the traditional red and blue.
Superman and the Justice League work closely with Captain Marvel.
** Special Plot Device **
Part of the reason for Superman's self-imposed exile has to do with a condition that developed after his resurrection. His body occasionally emits what can best be defined as, solar flares. They're very dangerous and thus far, Kal El has been unable to control them. He is also getting stronger. The only two people he has confided in are Batman and J'onn. They have been working together in attempt to mend Superman both physically and mentally. They still don't know what's happening to him but thankfully, whatever it is it's progressing very slowly. Batman suspects that perhaps Clark is evolving, not unlike the process that created Doctor Manhattan, that his cells may be becoming pure energy. In order to regulate the effects J'onn and Bruce have developed a medication and Superman's suit has been specially modified to contain most of the solar radiation his body emits.
RELATIONSHIPS — Kal-El has grown close with a certain red-head, an Avenger that had approached the league with interest of becoming a member. Suspicious of her motives at first the two have grown close (See Black Widow). Superman also enjoys the company of Captain Marvel, aside from both sharing super-strength and the power of flight, they share a lot of interests as well.
THE THING — Ben Grimm remains a faithful friend and ally to Reed Richards living in the Baxter Building with the rest of the Fantastic Four.
THOR — The Thunderer remains the protector of Earth and a part of the Avengers. He does not heed the restrictive American laws and see's the entire planet as his jurisdiction, an attitude that often lands him in trouble when battling evil on US soil. Because of his particular status he is often a bridge between the Avengers and Iron Man.
We do not acknowledge "Ragnarok". Thor still possesses Mjolnir, both his eyes and Odin still lives.
TOAD — Mortimer Toynbee was abandoned by his parents so early in his childhood that he couldn't remember them. He was placed in an orphanage where the other children, who regarded him as a freak due to his ugliness, his unusual physique, and his leaping ability, continually tormented him. Toynbee was so traumatized by his loneliness and the continual abuse he received that it affected his learning abilities. The teachers and administrators in the orphanage therefore regarded Toynbee as mentally retarded, even though, in actuality, he had a rather gifted intelligence. So desperate did Toynbee become for affection that he developed a pathetically subservient personality, and would unquestioningly obey anyone he thought sincerely cared about him. The Brotherhood of Mutants is no more, but Toad has found his place in the HELLFIRE CLUB alongside Mystique.
VISION — Vision is wrestling with his feelings for Wanda Maximoff. He assists Tony Stark in policing New York with the Iron Legion but unknown to anyone else he frequently visits Wanda in neutral areas, ever honouring her decision to remain hidden and fight alongside the Avengers.
Growing up in a small village in the fictional nation of Zambesi, M'Changa province, Mari Jiwe McCabe heard the legend of the "Tantu Totem" from her mother. Sometime later, Mari's mother was killed by poachers and she was raised by her father Reverend Richard Jiwe, the village priest. Reverend Jiwe himself was killed by his half-brother (Mari's uncle) General Maksai. Maksai wanted the Tantu Totem, which Jiwe had possessed.
Mari ultimately moved to America, where she established an identity as Mari McCabe and got a job as a model in New York City. She used her newfound wealth to travel the world. On a trip back to Africa, she came across her uncle and took back the Tantu Totem, using its power to become the costumed superhero Vixen.
WAR MACHINE — Colonel James Rhodes is the leader of the New York Guardsmen unit that polices the city under the authority of the Federal Regulation Bureau. He has long since recovered from his injuries but does have some permanent nerve damage that effects the motor coordination of one of his legs, giving him a slight limp; making it difficult to run down hill or down stairs.
WINTER SOLDIER — Bucky is now a member of the Wakandan army, where he is known as the White Wolf. Among them he has found new purpose.
WOLVERINE — First and foremost LOGAN IS 5 FOOT 3 INCHES and built like a brick shit house! He's a hairy, smelly little guy who always has a gripe. If you're NOT depicting him like he is in the comics (like a grumpy old man) YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! We do not consider the Jackman style of portraying Wolverine, rather we honour comic depictions, especially the old "Uncanny X-Men" where he prides himself on pissing everyone off.
Logan prefers to live in New York, he'll visit Genosha, but he's still not a fan of Magneto. He's a permanent fixture of the X-Men and lends his experience and expertise to the team when he's able to remain level headed. Still unable to successfully suppress his anger, Cyclops is still the better choice to lead the team, but Wolverine doesn't care. He'd rather the responsibility fall on someone else's shoulders. He just wants to do what he does best, and we all know how the rest of it goes.
WONDER WOMAN — Diana Prince still maintains her 'day-job', the secret identity is important to her as it allows her to keep her feet grounded on mortal soil. She and Captain America, as respective symbols against the injustice of President Luthor, have met. The two have also gone out a few dates, both enjoying the company of the other. Steve reminds her very much of her first love, Steve Trevor.
Sequenced alphabetically by ALIAS or by LAST NAME
The Canons listed below have important details added to their history to integrate them into the ARKHETYPE UNIVERSE. Any that are not listed default FIRST to their CINEMATIC VERSIONS and in the absence of a movie depiction, an appropriately balanced comic version will be used. As these canons appear more and more in stories alongside our originals new details will be added to the write-ups along with links to the originating stories/episodes. You are more than welcome to incorporate any Marvel or DC canon into your stories, just make sure you've checked the GUIDELINES to ensure that they're allowed.
ARCHANGEL — Warren Kenneth Worthington III was born in Centerport, New York, to Kathryn Worthington and Warren Worthington Jr. and was attending Phillips Exeter Academy when in his adolescence, feathered wings began to grow from his shoulder blades. Spirited away by the ancient mutant Apocalypse before his private jet crashes he restores Angel's wings if Angel will serve him as one of his Four Horsemen. Apocalypse subjects Angel to extensive genetic alterations, giving him blue skin and organic metal wings which can cut through almost anything. While the X-Men cinematic time-line set this scenario back in the 1980's we have bumped it up allowing a thirty-something year old Archangel to exist in our world. Apocalypse is, of course, dead.
AQUAMAN — "Namor's a total dick! But he's got some bad-ass moves." An active member of the Justice League and King of Southern Atlantis. While a truce exists between the two Atlantis's, Arthur and Namor aren't on the best of terms. They possess conflicting characteristics but both desire to prevent war between their peoples.
BATWOMAN — Batwoman is Kathy 'Kate' Kane, a wealthy heiress who became inspired by Batman and chose, like him, to put her wealth and resources towards the war on crime as a masked vigilante in her home of Gotham City. Kane is romantically involved with Renee Montoya, a former Gotham City Police detective who has taken up the mantle of the Question after the original, Vic Sage, her mentor, dies.
BATMAN — The Dark Knight of Gotham always keeps a 'bat-ear' to the ground where his home city is concerned but as a member of the Justice League he has international responsibilities to uphold.
Wayne Enterprises is, like most corporations, struggling to cope with the wildly fluctuating stock market chaotically wavering in the storm that is President Luthor.
INTEGRATION OF BATMAN WITH THE MORBIUS STORYLINE
This is the most altered canon on the site being that Batman is now a Vampire. Of course he's not just any Vampire, he's 'The Vampire'. Just before 'The Fold' Batman took on the most powerful Vampire in existence, Vlad Dracula. In an epic battle, the power of 'The Dragon' was transferred to the Dark Knight, cursing Bruce Wayne with the affliction of vampirism. Of course, this was not just a viral infection, it was the infusion of darkness into a vessel worthy of containing it's power. Batman might have been able to expel it, but as Darkseid descended on the world he chose to use the power against him and in doing so damned himself to internal night.
The Fold itself actually caused an integration of Batman and Morbius. Due to his contracted vampirism the two characters were folded together, thus Batman possesses the knowledge and memories of Doctor Morbius.
Batman possesses all the powers of Dracula (and Morbius) and all his weaknesses with the exception of being repelled by religious imagery. Pure and true sunlight affects him. Artificially generated solar radiation, having no scientific difference will not bother him. It's a mystic weakness. He's able to move in daylight for a few hours before it begins to take it's toll. All his supernatural abilities are suppressed and his strength is weakened to what he was as a human, initially. The longer he spends in sunlight, the weaker he becomes. After two hours he feels the effect, and degrades quickly. Half of an hour later his skin begins to bubble and blister and he will eventually succumb to the light. Getting out of direct sunlight will cause the damage to subside but he will not rejuvenate until nightfall.
After sunset he can transform into a horde of bats, or a wolf if he chooses, but the more he relies on his vampirism the more the nature of the monster invades his soul. He thirsts for blood, and to quench it has developed a blood-subsitutre that provides him sustenance and somewhat curbs his appetite for the essence of living Human blood.
His bite does not produce a vampire, but it can produce a potentially life threatening infection. A person who dies from this infection can come back as an undead ghoul. A ravenous zombie-like minion with few memories of who they once were. Because of this, and basic morality he will not allow himself to feed off Humans. As a result he is always at odds with the darkness within him, and is far from reaching the full potential of his vampiric strength and speed.
BEAST — Hank McCoy is seventy-something years old, maybe eighty, but his mutant physiology keeps him at peak performance.
While working at a nuclear power plant, Norton McCoy was exposed to massive amounts of radiation that affected his genes. As a result, Norton's son, Henry "Hank" McCoy, was born a mutant who showed the signs of his being different from birth with his unusually large feet. We then follow the cinematic history of X-Men First Class.
Aside from his super-human strength and agility, Hank also has a doctorate in genetics and is considered one of the world's experts on mutations and evolutionary human biology, despite never having earned a Nobel Prize.
BEAST BOY — Based on the Netflix "Titans" series. Only exception is that his skin is always green.
BLACK ADAM — He has own agenda and cares only for his own power but Black Adam can once in a while be swayed to lend his powers to the right EVIL CAUSE.
BLACK CAT — Felica Hardy is open for interpretation.
BLACK CANARY — Dinah Laurel Lance's "cry" is an inborn metahuman ability. Her canary cry has been depicted as having ten-fold the capabilities of most sonic weapons and has even been depicted as breaking metals and having the resonance to affect and shatter the Earth.
BLACK LIGHTNING — Jefferson Pierce grew up poor and with few expectations put on him. But rather than coast through life, he decided to challenge himself at every turn. As an adult, he entered the Olympics and won three gold medals. He furthered his education, then turned to teaching so he could help young people realize their own potential as he had. But gang violence and criminals kept threatening his community and his students, which is when Jefferson Pierce decided to no longer hide from the metahuman abilities he had been born with and started fighting evil as Black Lightning.
While some vigilantes just want to stop crime or punish criminals, Black Lightning tries to help communities become stronger. As a superhero, he wants to be an example that people can fight back against predators and opportunists. As an educator, he tells kids that who they are in life is their own choice, regardless of circumstances. Whether on his own or with teams such as the Justice League and the Outsiders, Black Lightning will always strike when justice is needed.
Black Lightning can absorb electrical energy, and utilize it for various purposes which include: enhancing his speed, convert the electrical energy into some other form of energy, use the electrical energy to regenerate/heal himself.
After 'The Fold', Superman gladly gave the leadership of the Justice League to Black Lightning, who had proved time and time again to be the leader that the League truly needed. One who could remain objective and offer Superman the guidance he himself required.
BLACKOUT — Marcus Daniels is open for interpretation but please refer to the comics instead of TV shows. More about Blackout_(Marcus_Daniels)
BLACK PANTHER — One is as likely to find Black Panther prowling the back streets of Africa, as the dark allies of New York. Wakanda strictly monitors it's trade, and King T'Challa is almost ALWAYS present at any meetings that will directly impact the well-being of his country. While T'Challa has in fact reached out to the world and revealed the technological prowess of his nation the country still remains hidden and closed to visitors. Any attempt to infiltrate the country is viewed as an act of war and trespassers face the harsh justice of Wakanda and be declared prisoners-of-war. Wakanda is absolute on this, showing zero tolerance for any attempt to breach their borders. There are Wakandan embassies in several nations as well as Outreach Centres in America and Africa.
T'Challa still pines for Storm and has been trying to rekindle their relationship.
BLACK WIDOW — Government treatments have slowed her aging, augmented her immune system and enhanced her physical durability making her stronger and faster than normal.
Before "The Fold" Natasha went back to Russia and for a time worked alongside Piotr Rasputin who had adopted the name "Proletariate". They had a relationship. After "The Fold she left Piotr and returned to America, seeking out Bruce Banner, unfortunately, Superman found him first. When 'The Hulk' was killed Natasha was devastated, his death, meant the loss of her beloved Bruce Banner. Consumed with vengeance Black Widow plotted to make his murderer suffer — she would kill Superman. She spent a year using all her resources to acquire the one thing that could destroy the alien god — kryptonite. She then infiltrated the Justice League, proving her loyalty until she was allowed to set foot in the Watchtower. There she studied her quarry, got to know him, to understand him, until the day came that she had won his and the confidence of the other members; the day she would avenge Bruce Banner, but the assassin couldn't do it. Kal-El, consumed with the guilt of Banner's death had pretty much exiled himself and there wasn't much more she could do to him than he hadn't already done to himself. Affections that had been false, blossomed true. She had began to care for him, leaving her with the decision of whether to pursue those feelings and tell the Man of Steel the truth or leave all together.
CAGE, LUKE — After a sabotaged experiment leaves him with super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive trying to rebuild his life in modern day Harlem, New York City. But he is soon pulled out of the shadows and must fight a battle for the heart of his city--forcing him to confront a past he had tried to bury. As per the television depiction.
CAPTAIN AMERICA — Steve Rogers is one of the driving forces behind the AMERICAN RESISTANCE that opposes President Luthor. He is NOT a fugitive because the REGISTRATION ACT inspired by the Sokovia Accord was abolished and what exists now is a watered down version controlling vigilantism. The laws are, however, always being twisted and warped to serve the agenda of those who want to restrict and imprison good costumed crime fighters. The Avenger Team is still in tact and funded by SHIELD. Technically, Stark is still a member but as he and Steve rarely see eye-to-eye these days (considering who he works for) Iron Man is no longer around. But never say never, there may be some situations that require the need for Iron Man or vice versa.
Even though the Avengers possess special privileges, even they are held under scrutiny, their every move is under the microscope of Luthor's administration. Steve has to be careful, but he loves America too much to sit back and watch it being butchered by corruption and greed. These days, Captain America best serves the nation by maintaining a spotless record, walking the straight and narrow, never providing the 'haters' with ammunition to tarnish his shield.
He and Wonder Woman have met, and enjoying one another's company prompted Steve and Diana to go out on a few dates. Steve has never met anyone like Diana.
CAPTAIN ATOM — Nathaniel Adam is being blackmailed by President Luthor to utilize him as his own personal enforcer when required. He is forced to be the 'poster-boy' superhero backing Luthor's government.
CAPTAIN MARVEL — Play-by: 'Michelle Rousey'. Carol Danvers is the commander of the Alpha Flight Low-Orbit Space Station, a secret agency disguised as a project. She monitors from space and has global jurisdiction. As an international agent she is more invested in the world as a whole.
Carol has grown close to Superman and the Justice League. They commonly work together.
CATWOMAN — As is so often depicted, Catwoman and Batman have a 'love-hate' relationship going on. They are not yet aware of one another's identities, but in our setting both have developed 'feelings' for the other.
COLOSSUS — In his Human form, Piotr Rasputin is 6'6", and in the 1% of the strongest Humans on the planet. He's well trained in hand-to-hand combat, and very fast for his size making him an extremely formidable opponent. As the Colossus, of course, few are able to match the steel giant. While he's not HULK-Strong he did stand toe-to-toe with the green goliath.
Before 'The Fold', Piotr had returned to Russia where he worked briefly with Black Widow and the two had a relationship. After that, he was manipulated into working for the Russian Government as the 'Proletariate'. Seven years went by, but staying in his metal form for most of the time, Piotr barely aged. The physical age gap between he and Katya had significantly closed, but the two have grown apart. He would like to be friends again, but they both parted on uncertain terms.
We do not acknowledge the events of the "Unstable Juggernaut".
CONSTANTINE, JOHN — Constantine has a reputation as being one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world. Despite this, Constantine rarely uses magic, instead choosing to use his wits to trick his opponents. Constantine is also referred to as "The Constant One" because of his whole family tree being somewhat connected to the occult. Many of his ancestors are sorcerers from different eras of history, and have taken part in many known historical events.
He is shown to be someone with a wide and international circle of contacts and allies, and is adept at making friends. At the same time, his close friends inevitably suffer or are outright killed simply by being in his life; this has left a severe mark on him.
CHEETAH — Dr. Barbara Minerva, alias Cheetah is a British archaeologist who had garnered a reputation to go to any lengths to secure an artifact. Born as the heiress of a vast fortune in the ancient family site in Nottinghamshire, her life would change dramatically following an expedition she led into a dense African jungle. A ritual in which she made a human blood sacrifice transformed her into Cheetah, a form which eventually became permanent.
CROSSBONES — Brock Rumlow led the Savage Crims gang on New York City's Lower East Side, during which time, he assaulted fifteen-year-old girl (Rachel Leighton) and killed her elder brother. Rumlow fled, entering Taskmaster's mercenary school, within three years becoming an instructor under the name Bingo Brock. As a mercenary, Rumlow enlisted with Red Skull, in Algeria, serving him under the name Frag until he was sent to invade Arnim Zola's Switzerland chateau; Rumlow was ultimately the only team member to survive the assault. There, he also met and impressed, Johann Schmidt, the original Nazi Red Skull, who accepted Brock's services and code-named him as "Crossbones".
CYBORG — Nowadays, everyone’s juggling an offline and online persona. But only one hero is a literal marriage of technology and man. Half human, half machine, Victor Stone is Cyborg, a digital and physical tank—and a true superhero for the modern age. Writers are urged to use a combination of the cinematic universe and the comics to depict Victor.
CYCLOPS — After 'The Fold', Cyclops miraculously returned from the dead, more accurately, the events that lead up to his death seemed to change. After his destruction by the Phoenix, Scott was actually in a dematerialized state that reoriented after Jean's death. He's now back at the school and he and Jean are back together.
DAREDEVIL — Matthew "Matt" Murdock is a man who was blinded as a young boy, but was gifted with extraordinary senses. After his father was murdered by mobsters, Murdock dedicated his life to fight injustice in New York City as a lawyer by day with his law firm Nelson and Murdock, and by night as a vigilante known as Daredevil. His actions as a crime fighter put Murdock into conflict with a crime lord named Wilson Fisk. Murdock used his skills to expose Fisk's criminal activities and have him taken to prison.
Daredevil's actions in New York City and his strict moral code soon put him into conflict with the Punisher, a vigilante who believed that death was the only punishment for crime. Daredevil was thrown into more turmoil by the return of his old lover Elektra and his former mentor Stick, who attempted to recruit him into their war with the Hand. Murdock eventually managed to find a middle ground with the Punisher while also defeating the Hand's leader Nobu Yoshioka, although then losing Elektra in the process and watching Nelson and Murdock fall apart as Foggy Nelson still struggled to cope with his friend's double life. Depicted as per the Televison Series, but writers can toss in comic book references as well so long as they are not conflicting.
DEATH STROKE — Slade Wilson, known by his codename, Deathstroke, is an elite mercenary, commonly considered the world's greatest and deadliest assassin. This character has appeared in the 'Green Arrow' series thus we've adopted the play-by. Writer's are encouraged to use a combination of the comics and TV series to depict this character.
DEADSHOT — An assassin, expert marksman and lethal DC Universe villain, Floyd Lawton lives by a simple code: do the job that you're hired for with the least amount of casualties possible—after all, you're not being paid to waste bullets.
DOCTOR DOOM — Every attempt to depict Doom on the big screen has failed miserably. In our setting, his entire body is organic metal and his face is a metal, skull-like version of what it was, thus he often wears a metal mask.
The State University in Hegeman, New York offered Victor von Doom a scholarship. While attending classes there, he first met Reed Richards and Ben Grimm. Doom became obsessed with developing a machine that could project the astral form of a being into other dimensions. He now resides in Latveria and has affirmed a strong alliance with President Luthor.
DOCTOR MANHATTAN — This supreme being is bound by time which he experiences simultaneously. We are keeping him off-planet, located somewhere in the solar system or beyond, and his appearances will be sparse. If a writer possesses the skill and knowledge to properly write this character they could use him in a story befitting his power but we do not want him thrown into stories for shits and giggles.
When "The FOLD" occurred Doctor Manhattan remained constant. His perception of time and space did not diverge which means that he perceives time as it would have been in the DC Universe and is virtually blind to the new "Merged" realities. This means, that he literally exists in another universe, while physically located in the one generated by "The Fold". This makes Doctor Manhattan a conduit for time and reality as it might have been and not what has become. This renders him pretty much obsolete in all things that do not directly affect him, or that he has created.
DOCTOR STRANGE — In New York City, Stephen Strange is an acclaimed doctor and neurosurgeon but is also very arrogant and cares only for the wealth and success his talents bring. A car crash leaves him with irreparable damage leading him to Jonathan Pangborn, a paraplegic who mysteriously was able to walk again. Pangborn directs Strange to the secret compound Kamar-Taj, where he is taken in by another sorcerer under the Ancient One, Karl Mordo. The Ancient One shows Strange her power, revealing the Astral plane and other dimensions.
ELEKTRA — Elektra, also known as Elektra Natchios, is an assassin who was trained under Stick, the same member from the Chaste who later trained Matt Murdock. Elektra was sent by Stick to become the adoptive daughter of an ambassador and his wife who could not have a daughter of their own. Despite Elektra telling him that she would never allow herself to become a part of this family, Stick told her to be smart and analyse how they acted, saying it was a good skill to have to be able to play the role of somebody rich and fancy in order to disguise herself later in life. Stick informed her that someday, somebody would come searching for her and change her life forever, and he would be dedicating himself to preventing that.
She fell in love with Murdock during a mission for Stick to bring Murdock into the organization. She returned to his life after years of absence, putting her beliefs and methods at conflict with his own. Later, she was revealed to potentially be the Black Sky, the one who is supposed to lead the organization of assassins known as the Hand. However, Elektra chose to help Murdock defeat the malevolent organization, and was killed in the final confrontation with Nobu Yoshioka. The Hand then retrieved Elektra's corpse from the grave and placed it in a stone chamber, where a faint heartbeat was heard as the chamber closed. After her resurrection, Hand leader Alexandra Reid manipulated and took her under her wing, re-training her to truly become the Black Sky. After becoming the Hand's personal weapon, Elektra battles against the Defenders.
EMMA FROST — Arkhetype uses 'Ali Larter' to depict Emma Frost. A powerful telepath, she is no match for Charles Xavier if it comes down to it but of course she's possessed of other abilities. Her diamond-form, makes her appear 'crystalline' not diamond-studded, and the form makes her extremely durable, although, not unbreakable. She is the White Queen of the New York Hellfire Club, using her power and influence to shape a better world for mutants who, like her, want to dominate and not hide away like Magneto.
FALCON — Samuel Thomas , better known as Falcon, is a former United States Air Force pararescue airman who retired from active duty and began helping fellow veterans who were suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder at the VA (Veterans Affairs). During this time Wilson became an ally of Captain America during the HYDRA Uprising and assisted him during his search for Bucky Barnes. He is an active member of the underground version of the Avengers.
FLASH — Flash is the ONLY character with temporal warping abilities linked to the speed force (other than his nemesis - Zoom). He assists the Justice League when needed but continues to live his 'semi-normal' life in Central City.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY — Open for interpretation.
GHOST RIDER — Johnny Blaze is open for interpretation.
GORGON — Tomi Shishido is a high ranking operative for both the Hand and Hydra. He commonly found in either New York or Madripoor.
GREEN ARROW — Green Arrow is Oliver Queen, living in Star City as a wealthy playboy and billionaire industrialist turned outspoken socially-progressive politician. He is the leader of Team Arrow; he has also been a member of the Justice League and the Outsiders.
GREEN GOBLIN — Harry Osborn is the GREEN GOBLIN. The story-line this site embraces is that Norman was the original but had eventually had the effects of the serum reversed with nobody being none the wiser. Harry upon discovering the truth of his father's deception carried on the family tradition, taking over the role as the pumpkin-bomb throwing menace by exposing himself to the same serum in an ultimate act of rebellion.HARLEY QUINN —Love makes us do crazy things. And for the bubbly and psychotic Harley Quinn, that includes dressing in costume, becoming a super-villain, carrying gag-themed weaponry, and murdering countless civilians—all just to put a smile on her puddin's face.
HAWKEYE — An active member of the Avenger's which has now gone underground.
HUMAN TORCH — Johnny Storm's 'play-by' is Devin Paisley. In typical Johnny Storm fashion, the highly publicized crime fighter revelled in the attention of the press, but that was before President Luthor. The Fantastic Four is now under scrutiny, they have to be careful. After the events of the 'CIVIL WAR' which preceded 'The Fold', sides were chose, and Torch and his sister opposed Stark's and Reed's plans for a new 'superhuman world order'. After Reed came to his senses and stepped away from Stark and government regulation the team got back together but they'll never be the same. Johnny is more wary of the media and how quickly it can turn on a celebrity (after his near-death beating), but he still likes to show-boat. He tries to stay out of politics, avoiding questions concerning President Luthor, concentrating more on positive public relations to boost the Fantastic Four brand.
No other 'Fire-based Metahuman' is as powerful as the Human Torch. He actually has the ability to go super-nova making it necessary for the 'powers-that-be' to always have an eye on him, just in case.
ICEMAN — Part of the X-Men, Bobby Drake lives in New York City. He's close with Kitty Pryde, a source of constant jealousy to Piotr Rasputin. When it comes to ICE POWERS, Drake is one of the coolest guys arounds. Few elementals of the ice variety come close to his level.
INVISIBLE WOMAN — Invisible Girl or Invisible Woman is married to Reed Richards and is one of the most powerful superhumans on the planet. Her and Reed do NOT have children.
IRON FIST — Yes, we use a different play-by for Iron Fist as the one who plays him in the series was terrible and barely tolerable in the Defenders. If you are going to portray this character, please read the comics and do not go by the TV show. Daniel Rand is far more than just some guy with a glowing fist and even the comic writers seriously downplay his abilities. Iron Fist is the BEST of K'un-Lun, he has bested all of the other warriors of the SEVEN CAPITAL CITIES OF HEAVEN. The power of the Dragon's CHI flowing through his body elevates his abilities to superhuman levels of speed, endurance and strength. He is a mystical martial arts master of renown power that those bound by Human limitations cannot stand against. Iron Fist is NOT just some wise-cracking smart ass punk side-kick of Luke Cage. On this site he would mop the floor with Dare Devil and Elektra combined.
IRON MAN — Tony's main gig these days is the FEDERAL REGULATION BUREAU, or 'Furby' as he likes to call it. He's a man caught between a rock and hard place, a reluctant hero in the service of a greedy megalomaniac. Tony's not a fan of Lex Luthor, but he's done the math and the alternative would be catastrophic to America and the entire world. So he's stuck, for now, policing the nation with the IRON LEGION and GUARDSMEN units set up in every major city of the United States. It's a program that he truly believes in, one that will save countless lives and preserve the legacy of costumed heroes whom he still believes in. Unfortunately, President Luthor, everyday chips away at Stark's policies. The protocols of the IRON LEGION are manipulated, the Guardsmen are ordered to perform classified missions beyond Stark's control. Things are slowly spirally out of control while Stark struggles to keep it all together.
IRON PATRIOT — Vice President Norman Osborn is the IRON PATRIOT. He parades around as a force for good when in reality he's just as corrupt as Lex Luthor, if not more. Many Americans are fooled by his benevolent act and theatrical acts of heroism.
JEAN GREY — After 'The Fold', Jean Grey returned. Whether it was the last remaining power of the Phoenix force or a warp in reality, no one, not even the Professor could be sure. No one really cared, they were simply happy to have her back, especially Scott Summers. The two are back together and both teach at the Institute. Her telepathy is no where near as powerful Professor X's, and her Telekinetic powers are strong but not outrageously so. She is NOT an Omega level mutant. The Phoenix is dead.
JONES, JESSICA (JEWEL) — Jessica Jones is a private investigator from New York City. After she was orphaned at a young age, Jones was taken in by Dorothy Walker, and developed a sisterly bond with her daughter, Trish. Shortly after being adopted, Jones discovered she possessed superhuman abilities due to the fatal car crash that took the life of her parents and eventually decided to pursue a career as a superhero. However, a fateful encounter with Kilgrave, a vicious man with mind controlling powers, derailed her superhero career and she spent a torturous tenure as Kilgrave's slave before finally breaking free of his control. The experience left Jones suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, prompting her to hang up her secret identity and open her own detective agency, 'Alias Investigations'. As depicted as per the TV series.
JOKER — The Joker is a serial killer and a super-villain, a dangerous madman who dresses like a clown and commits violent crimes. He is often recognized as Batman's greatest enemy, living in and terrorizing Gotham City, although he spends most of his time in Arkham Asylum.
JUGGERNAUT — Cain Marko entered a cave that housed the lost secret Temple of Cyttorak, a powerful mystical entity. Marko impulsively grabbed a glowing ruby from the lap of an idol and read the inscription (which mystically appeared to his mind to be in English): "Whosoever touches this gem shall possess the power of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Henceforth, you who read these words shall become forevermore a human juggernaut." It is difficult to entwine Cain's life with that of his step-brother Charle's due to the deviations of the cinematic universe but try to maintain these connections when depicting Juggernaut.
KANE, ADELINE — Adeline Kane is the leader of HIVE (Hierarchy of International Vengeance and Extermination), known as the HIVE QUEEN, now a division of HYDRA. They have infiltrated a number of corporations through-out America and the world.
KATANA — Tatsu Yamashiro, alias Katana was an average Japanese girl, save for her proficiency in the martial arts. With the Sword 'Soultaker' in her possession, Tatsu began training as a samurai under a master called Tadashi. After much time she graduated from his tutorship and left for America where she intended to use her talents to fight for justice. She took the codename Katana after the sword that she wielded.
After a while, her team, 'The Outsiders', disbanded after various tragic events. A member, Halo was knocked into a coma, saving Katana's life and bound by a 'debt of honor even unto death' Tatsu left the team so she could tend to Halo's wounds. During that time however, she was approached by a family member of her husband, who wished her to accompany the Suicide Squad on a mission.
KINGPIN — Wilson Grant Fisk, New York Crime lord has connections all the way to the White House.
LIBERTY BELLE — Jesse Belle Chambers is the daughter of the speedster, Johnny Chambers (Deceased) and Libby Lawrence (the original Liberty Belle). She possesses the super-strength of her mother and speed from her father. Jesse went on to study meta-humans at Gotham University, writing a dissertation on “Mystery-Men and Their Effects on Culture.” Sources vary on the extent of her powers. In this setting she is a Kinetic Speedster and can move at 800 MPH (faster than the speed of sound 767 MPH) but this is only in a straight line. She can lift up to five tons, possesses super-durability. She is also far older than she appears as her regenerative metabolism prolongs her longevity. Jesse currently lives in New York City and is employed by Genomorph Laboratories as a meta-human specialist working alongside the character Boreal/Atticus Gale.
LUTHOR, LEX, PRESIDENT— Lex Luthor is a formidable man, physically and mentally. Possessed of genius level intellect, Luthor is also quite imposing, capable of arm-curling two-hundred pounds, keeping himself in tip-top shape. His goal is simple, turn America into a dictatorship under his control and use it as a platform to take over the entire world.
Luther is this site's ultimate antagonist and as such, no one character or even a group of characters can take him down. He is too well fortified, but his plans and allies can be defeated in order to set his plans back.
MADAME HYDRA — Ophelia Sarkissian, better known as Madame Hydra, was an officer of HYDRA during World War II. HYDRA has a longstanding tradition of naming the highest-ranking female officer in its organization Madame Hydra. The current one being VIPER. Viper was born in the 1920’s and as a result of her pact with the elder god Chthon, the Viper has slowed her aging process (her hair is also permanently dark green). She also a superb athlete and adept in martial arts, marksmanship, and the use of a bullwhip. She is proficient in the use of toxins and poisons, often creating her very own poisons for whatever a given situation dictates. Viper herself is immune to most toxins and has always found interesting and different ways for spreading her toxins, such as hollow fangs or poisoned lipstick. She herself has built up an immunity to most forms of venom and toxins. She is currently seated at the right hand of the Red Skull in HYDRA.
MAGNETO — Eric is done with humanity. He resides in Genosha, officially the Republic of Genosha, a small crescent-shaped island located to the northeast of Madagascar. There he has created a haven for mutants. So long as the world leaves him and his mutants alone, he remains peaceful.

Although he holds great reverence for his homeworld, he has come to greatly respect his adopted world as well and protects it as his home. In his secret identity, to blend into humanity, he is a gritty hard-boiled police officer.
MERA — Mera was once an undersea queen in an alien otherworldly dimension commonly referred to as Dimension Aqua. Several years ago, a criminal named Leron seized control of the kingdom and deposed Queen Mera. Exiled from her kingdom, Mera fled Dimension Aqua for the Earth dimension whereupon she met the Atlantean sea-king, Aquaman.
MISTER FANTASTIC — Reed Richards along with the rest of the Fantastic Four remains in the Baxter Building, now an International Asylum in America, the team considered 'Global' and not subject to all the restrictive American laws opposing super-heroes.

PARASITE — The character Rogue does not exist in this world. Anna Marie LeBeau did exist prior to 2018 where she had leeched Captain Marvel's powers but after the Fold she amalgamated with the DC character 'Parasite'. She exists as Alexandra Allston - 'Purple Parasite' and is a super-villain.
PROFESSOR X — Hands down, Charles Xavier is the most powerful telepath in the world. He moves between his home in Westchester, New York and Genosha, where a new Xavier Institute now stands.

PUNISHER — Frank Castle is haunted and hunted after the murder of his family and becomes a vigilante known in the criminal underworld as "the Punisher", who aims to fight crime by any means necessary.
PYRO — St. John Allerdyce was born and raised in Australia. His powers emerged at puberty, but since he could not think of a way to use them for profit, for years he did not use them except in emergencies. For a time, Allerdyce drifted from job to job around the South Seas. Eventually, he became a journalist for an Australian wire service and covered Vietnam and Indonesia. What he saw and experienced in his travels became the basis for novels he began writing. (He also wrote torrid Gothic romances.) Allerdyce's novels were despised by serious novelists and critics, but they found wide readership throughout the English-speaking world. Under circumstances that have yet to be revealed, Allerdyce met the mutant called Mystique, who learned of his mutant powers. As a result, Allerdyce joined her in the Hellfire Club.
RA'S AL GHUL — Ra's al Ghul, literally translated from Arabic as Head of the Demon, is an international, immortal eco-terrorist, and an enemy of Batman. Believing that humanity is a blight on the planet, his extremist environmentalism has led him to seek the destruction of modern society.

RAVEN — Based on the character from the Netflix TV series, "Titans"
RED SKULL — The Red Skull masquerades as Brandt Dietrich, a prominent American businessman born in Germany and still possessing the trademark accent of the villain. In reality he is the more prominent antagonist on a world scale as opposed to Lex Luthor whom he pretends to work for. In truth, neither are fond of the other, but their allegiance is necessary for the time being. The American people need to be ruled by one of their own before they would follow the likes of the Red Skull.
The Red Skull spreads his influence across the nation through the Nazi/Hydra cult called the Skull & Blood Society. Their leaders dress up as the Red Skull and wear masks to make them appear like their cult master.
After the Red Skull was banished by the cosmic cube in the Captain America movie he was sent to the Crimson Cosmos, the residence of the deity of Cytorrak of with the Juggernaut is a current incarnation. There time does not exist, thus he remained there, a tortured soul until the power of 'The Fold' brought him back. In this setting, he was never a guardian of one of the infinity stones. Instead, during is time in the Crimson Cosmos he grew in strength and power.

Believing his father was a benevolent humanitarian, Shang-Chi was sent on a mission to London to murder Dr. James Petrie, who his father claimed was a threat to peace. After assassinating Petrie, Shang-Chi encounters Fu Manchu's archenemy Sir Denis Nayland Smith, who tells Shang-Chi his father's true nature. After confronting his mother in New York City for the truth, Shang-Chi realizes Fu Manchu is evil. Shang-Chi escapes from Fu-Manchu's Manhattan headquarters, telling his father they are now enemies and vowing to put an end to his evil schemes.
Shang-Chi joins the Avengers after being recruited by Captain America.
Shang-Chi is a master of Kung Fu. He is among the greatest fighters in Marvel Comics, and has fought the likes of Iron Fist and the Black Panther to a standstill. He is able to do this having been granted no superpowers or enhanced abilities (if you count Chi mastery has being powerless). Like Iron Fist, Shang-Chi can control and channel his own chi. While he hasn't been able to use it to quite the same degree as Iron Fist, it has granted him strength, agility, and durability. It allows his martial arts skills to be almost superhuman in their ability to dole out damage and power. He also has acute hearing and smell, and he can track a target like Wolverine and Daredevil. Notably, in a fight with the Gorgon, Shang-Chi extinguished all light in a room and fought the villain in the dark. Gorgon escaped, but Shang won the duel.
SHAZAM (Captain Marvel) — Billy Batson was a terrible foster child. After the death of his parents and his treatment thereafter Billy had become cold and cruel to most people. Growing selfish and heartless, he went from foster home to foster home until he landed in an orphanage in Philadelphia and was partially forced to live with a new family; the Vasquezes. He decides to leave as he's done countless times before but as he does he's whisked away to the Rock of Eternity where he meets the Wizard. There, he searched the boy's soul and saw that he was not perfectly good. When he told him so, Billy was instantly enraged, telling the wizard off for thinking that perfect good exists. The Wizard, seeing the boy's point, witnesses all the good Billy has done and accepts that the world has changed and now perfection has been exchanged for the hope of becoming good. Although he stated that he won't be able to take them back once given, the Wizard grants Billy the ability to wield the Living Lightning, turning him to the Champion, Shazam.
We adhere the version of Captain Marvel / Shazam that separated the superhero from Billy Batson. They were two separate entities, but in on this site, Bill Batson is now grown up and as such has amalgamated with his alter-ego. Bill Batson can change by calling out his own name.
*Shazam is NOT stronger than Superman.
*Shazam is NOT faster than the Flash.
SPIDERMAN — Peter Parker remains an iconic protector of New York City. He is one of the rare 'Registered' Superheroes that has retained his secret identity, for his protection. He is protected by Tony Stark and is now a man and married to Mary Jane Watson.

This affords Peter capital beyond the means of his civilian lifestyle which is compensated for by stock market investments. He also has access to some of the finest research facilities. He uses the Iron Spider suit and is constantly upgrading it.
SPIDERWOMAN — Spider-Woman was born Jessica Miriam Drew, daughter of Jonathan Drew and Merriam Drew, in London, England. At a young age, her family moves to a lab built by her father and Herbert Wyndham near Mount Wundagore in Transia, where she becomes gravely ill from months of uranium exposure. To save her life, her father injects her with an experimental serum based on irradiated spiders' blood. Because the serum requires a month's incubation, Wyndham places her in a genetic accelerator. Shortly after, her mother dies and her father leaves for the United States, leaving Wyndham to care for her. While in the accelerator, she ages at a decelerated rate. When she is finally released, decades later, Drew is only 17 years old.
Drew is ostracized by the other residents of Mount Wundagore, the High Evolutionary's New Men, since she was originally human while they were animals. Because of this, she eventually leaves to seek human civilization. She is captured by a HYDRA reserve unit under Count Otto Vermis's leadership who erases her memories, brainwashes her, and recruits her as a HYDRA agent under the codename Arachne. One of HYDRA's top agents, Jared, is assigned to train her in combat and espionage, and to seduce her. Once Jessica has become his lover, he allows himself to be captured by S.H.I.E.L.D., so that she can be goaded into assassinating S.H.I.E.L.D. commander Nick Fury.
While battling Fury, Jessica accidentally kills Jared and learns HYDRA's true nature. She quits HYDRA and assaults the unit's base, sending Count Vermis into a fatal crash, but not before he unlocks memory implants that she was actually an evolved spider and had killed a man before her association with HYDRA.[13] Despondent from these revelations, she wanders the woods where Vermis crashed until being recaptured and hypnotised by HYDRA.

Due to the war the Chaste had waged with the Hand, Stick was tasked with finding and training soldiers, recruiting Elektra, as she had proved too dangerous to be controlled he abandoned her and trained Matt Murdock instead. Years later Stick recruited Murdock, now working as Daredevil, to seek out and kill the Black Sky just before the Hand could unleash it. With the Hand growing stronger, Stick and Elektra attempted again to recruit Daredevil, but he still refused and instead convinced Elektra to change sides. This then caused Stick to order Elektra's death, eventually leading to him being captured and tortured by the Hand. Stick was saved by his former pupils, and had later witnessed Elektra's death by the Hand leader Nobu Yoshioka, so in response Stick killed him.
STORM — Ororo Munroe, also known as Storm, is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Born Ororo Munroe, her mother, N'Daré, was the princess of a tribe in Kenya, who married the American photojournalist, David Munroe, and moved with him to Manhattan, where Ororo was born.
When Ororo was six months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo, Egypt and, at the age of five, a plane crash destroyed their home. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. This traumatizing effect left Ororo with the severe claustrophobia that still afflicts her today. Ororo managed to escape the rubble of her shattered home with nothing but the tattered clothes on her back and her mother's ancestral ruby. Homeless and orphaned, Ororo was found by a gang of street urchins who took her to their master, Achmed El Gibár. Achmed trained Ororo in the arts of thievery and she soon became his prize pupil, excelling in picking both pockets and locks. During her time in Cairo, Ororo picked the pocket of an American tourist. The man proved no easy mark, however, as he was Charles Xavier, a powerful mutant telepath who used his abilities to stop the theft. At that moment, Xavier was psionically attacked by another mutant, Amahl Farouk (absolute ruler of Cairo’s thieves), and Ororo used the opportunity to escape. Xavier, who acknowledged she was a mutant from her brainwaves, declined to contact Ororo at this point, not wanting to shock the young woman with the true nature of her powers.
Itching to prove her skills as a thief, Ororo once stole a rare ruby-colored gem, the so-called “Heart of Eternal Darkness.” She did so against Achmed el-Gibar’s direct orders. Only later, it would be discovered that the stone contained the essence of the immortal mutant Candra.
Years later, when she was about twelve, Ororo felt a strong urge to wander south and left Cairo. Ororo wandered for thousands of miles, almost dying during her trek across the Sahara Desert. Ororo's mutant ability to psionically control the weather emerged soon after, and she was able to use them to rescue T'Challa, a prince of the African nation of Wakanda, from his would-be kidnappers. The pair shared a romance and spent much time together, however, T'Challa's duties as a prince prevented them from further exploring their burgeoning mutual attraction.
Finally, Ororo reached her ancestors' homeland of the Kilimanjaro Valley on the Serengeti Plain in Kenya. Ororo was taken in by an elderly tribal woman, named Ainet, who taught her to be responsible with her powers. Ororo soon came to be the object of worship of the local tribes, who believed her to be a goddess due to her gift.
Years later, Ororo found herself in the Savage Land and was forced to battle the threat of a mutant energy manipulator, who used Ororo's control over weather, known as Deluge, who sought revenge against humanity. With the help of the team of mutant heroes known as the X-Men, Deluge was seemingly destroyed and Ororo returned to her life among the tribal people. Months later, however, Professor Xavier was left with no choice but to recruit Storm, as he called her, and other mutants from around the world into the X-Men in order to rescue his original students from the threat of the sentient island being, known as Krakoa. Prof. Xavier explained to Ororo that she was not a "goddess", but a mutant and had a responsibility to use her abilities to help the world, just as she had helped the local tribes. Curious, Ororo accepted Professor Xavier's offer and was given the code name "Storm".
SUB-MARINER — For years King Namor McKenzie pined over the beautiful Suzan Storm, but upon setting his Nemedian (North Atlantean) eyes upon the cousin of the one called 'Superman', he longed for no other. Submariner first met Supergirl while trying to prevent two massive oil tankers, caught in a torrential storm, from colliding. In truth, he was not trying to save them at all, he cared nothing for the crews, he was merely trying to prevent their contents from polluting the sea. When Kara arrived, he was immediately smitten by her. Since then, Namor has spent much of his time trying to impress her, especially by attempting to be more tolerant of the surface dwellers.

SUPERGIRL — Right off the hop we'll address where she fits in the power-hierarchy, if they had a fight, Wonder Woman would hand Supergirl her butt. Kara is powerful, but nothing like her cousin. That said, her healing factor would surpass Diana's, but unlike Superman, she is far more dependent on the light energy of a yellow star to keep her strength up. While we're not following the 'Supergirl TV series', we are placing her in National City. This version of Kara is a student attending National City University.
Kara, like all Kryptonians, represents the failed ideologies of that world. She was genetically modified to fit into their societal hierarchy it is due to these flaws that she is ever vulnerable to Human corruption. As mentioned, she is far more dependent on solar radiation (red light does not dampen her abilities, we do not subscribe to that nonsensical lore). She is NOT like her cousin, and her super-physiology is completely reliant on her environment. By developing from a young age in an environment plentiful of solar radiation she had developed super-powers similar to her cousin. Even though we do not allow any other Kryptonian characters, we would not follow the typical mythology where the race immediately becomes empowered in the light of a "younger star". Genetic alterations of this magnitude would take at least a decade or more to develop.
SUPERMAN — Since the death of Lois Lane, the titanic battle with the Hulk and the election of President Lex Luthor, Superman spends most of his time in the Watchtower, distant and brooding (The (animated) battle between he and Shazam has occurred, after which he was made a fool by Luthor's trickery).
Superman's extensive time on Earth, physiologically maturing in it's environment, combined with his 'unusual' Kryptonian genetics have made him more powerful than ANY other Kryptonian could have EVER become. He is a 'Super being' among his kind, thus he greatly surpasses the power of his cousin Kara. After his 'RE-BIRTH', all his psychic barriers removed, Kal-El became aware of just how powerful and untapped his potential was when fought and destroyed the Hulk.
Due to the fact that Superman is a genetic anomaly he is not completely reliant on the solar radiation of Earth's star to maintain his power. Any form of solar radiation can increase his power (red light draining his power is utter non-sense and not recognized here). Varying colours of solar radiation mean absolutely nothing and have absolutely no effect on Kal-El in this depiction because it's all still solar radiation, light is light no matter what colour it is. He can weaken without it, though as proven, his energy stores are incredible and self-regenerating regardless of the presence of a solar energy source. Immediate access to solar radiation simply charges Superman up that much more quickly. This is why he is so much more powerful than any other Kryptonian that would gain power from increased solar radiation. It's also the reason why he doesn't need to breath, unlike other Kryptonians (like his cousin) that need a breathing apparatus in space or in the depths of the sea, though they can hold their breath for great lengths of time, even under immense strain.
Many people either blame him for the current state of affairs or for Luthor's rise to power. Though he did not intend to kill Bruce Banner, many of the man's close friends hold Superman personally responsible. There is animosity between he and Thor over Hulk's demise, and so both avoid one another. Superman now prefers to go by Kal-El, his Clark Kent persona is only used when he visits his mother or requires the disguise. For a time he wore a less formal black costume but has since returned to the traditional red and blue.
Superman and the Justice League work closely with Captain Marvel.
** Special Plot Device **
Part of the reason for Superman's self-imposed exile has to do with a condition that developed after his resurrection. His body occasionally emits what can best be defined as, solar flares. They're very dangerous and thus far, Kal El has been unable to control them. He is also getting stronger. The only two people he has confided in are Batman and J'onn. They have been working together in attempt to mend Superman both physically and mentally. They still don't know what's happening to him but thankfully, whatever it is it's progressing very slowly. Batman suspects that perhaps Clark is evolving, not unlike the process that created Doctor Manhattan, that his cells may be becoming pure energy. In order to regulate the effects J'onn and Bruce have developed a medication and Superman's suit has been specially modified to contain most of the solar radiation his body emits.
RELATIONSHIPS — Kal-El has grown close with a certain red-head, an Avenger that had approached the league with interest of becoming a member. Suspicious of her motives at first the two have grown close (See Black Widow). Superman also enjoys the company of Captain Marvel, aside from both sharing super-strength and the power of flight, they share a lot of interests as well.
THE THING — Ben Grimm remains a faithful friend and ally to Reed Richards living in the Baxter Building with the rest of the Fantastic Four.
THOR — The Thunderer remains the protector of Earth and a part of the Avengers. He does not heed the restrictive American laws and see's the entire planet as his jurisdiction, an attitude that often lands him in trouble when battling evil on US soil. Because of his particular status he is often a bridge between the Avengers and Iron Man.
We do not acknowledge "Ragnarok". Thor still possesses Mjolnir, both his eyes and Odin still lives.
TOAD — Mortimer Toynbee was abandoned by his parents so early in his childhood that he couldn't remember them. He was placed in an orphanage where the other children, who regarded him as a freak due to his ugliness, his unusual physique, and his leaping ability, continually tormented him. Toynbee was so traumatized by his loneliness and the continual abuse he received that it affected his learning abilities. The teachers and administrators in the orphanage therefore regarded Toynbee as mentally retarded, even though, in actuality, he had a rather gifted intelligence. So desperate did Toynbee become for affection that he developed a pathetically subservient personality, and would unquestioningly obey anyone he thought sincerely cared about him. The Brotherhood of Mutants is no more, but Toad has found his place in the HELLFIRE CLUB alongside Mystique.
VISION — Vision is wrestling with his feelings for Wanda Maximoff. He assists Tony Stark in policing New York with the Iron Legion but unknown to anyone else he frequently visits Wanda in neutral areas, ever honouring her decision to remain hidden and fight alongside the Avengers.
THANOS killed Vision by taking his INFINITY STONE but after his defeat and the event of THE FOLD a "mystical stone", not unlike the original 'Mind Stone' appeared and resurrected the silicon life form.
VIXEN — In ancient Ghana, the warrior Tantu asked Anansi the Spider to create a totem that would give the wearer all of the powers of the animal kingdom, only if they would use the power to protect the innocent. Tantu used the totem to become Africa's first legendary hero. The totem was later passed down to Tantu's descendants until it reached the McCabes.Growing up in a small village in the fictional nation of Zambesi, M'Changa province, Mari Jiwe McCabe heard the legend of the "Tantu Totem" from her mother. Sometime later, Mari's mother was killed by poachers and she was raised by her father Reverend Richard Jiwe, the village priest. Reverend Jiwe himself was killed by his half-brother (Mari's uncle) General Maksai. Maksai wanted the Tantu Totem, which Jiwe had possessed.
Mari ultimately moved to America, where she established an identity as Mari McCabe and got a job as a model in New York City. She used her newfound wealth to travel the world. On a trip back to Africa, she came across her uncle and took back the Tantu Totem, using its power to become the costumed superhero Vixen.
WAR MACHINE — Colonel James Rhodes is the leader of the New York Guardsmen unit that polices the city under the authority of the Federal Regulation Bureau. He has long since recovered from his injuries but does have some permanent nerve damage that effects the motor coordination of one of his legs, giving him a slight limp; making it difficult to run down hill or down stairs.
WINTER SOLDIER — Bucky is now a member of the Wakandan army, where he is known as the White Wolf. Among them he has found new purpose.
WOLVERINE — First and foremost LOGAN IS 5 FOOT 3 INCHES and built like a brick shit house! He's a hairy, smelly little guy who always has a gripe. If you're NOT depicting him like he is in the comics (like a grumpy old man) YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! We do not consider the Jackman style of portraying Wolverine, rather we honour comic depictions, especially the old "Uncanny X-Men" where he prides himself on pissing everyone off.
Logan prefers to live in New York, he'll visit Genosha, but he's still not a fan of Magneto. He's a permanent fixture of the X-Men and lends his experience and expertise to the team when he's able to remain level headed. Still unable to successfully suppress his anger, Cyclops is still the better choice to lead the team, but Wolverine doesn't care. He'd rather the responsibility fall on someone else's shoulders. He just wants to do what he does best, and we all know how the rest of it goes.
WONDER WOMAN — Diana Prince still maintains her 'day-job', the secret identity is important to her as it allows her to keep her feet grounded on mortal soil. She and Captain America, as respective symbols against the injustice of President Luthor, have met. The two have also gone out a few dates, both enjoying the company of the other. Steve reminds her very much of her first love, Steve Trevor.
