Major Organizations:

 

Viper: Terrorism, extortion, world conquest and general mayhem are the hallmarks of this organization. Motivated by an obscure set of goals, Viper is the among the top threats to to world security in existence.

 

ISIS: International Security Investigative Section: Formed by the UN to combat Viper, ISIS has evolved into a international police force battling superhumans, villainous organization and all manner of threats.

 

Project: Prometheus: A governmental think tank devoted to investigating/developing new technologies such as recovered alien/super human tech. 

 

Major Teams:

 

Champions of Justice (Not the Champions from the BBB :-) ): One of the first hero teams formed after the Tyranthrax War, the Champions have achieved world celebrity and the ire of practically every villainous group on the planet. The original members came from the both the team that escaped from the Tyranthrax and those who went with The One to battle the Queen Mind. The team is based in New York city but operates world wide. Currently the leader is Guardsman and has been for the past few years.

 

Roster:

 

Gaurdsman: Equipped with a high tech suit of powered armor, Gaurdsman was one of those involved in the final assault on the Queen Mind. Sponsored by OmniTech, a multinational conglomerate, his battle suit seems to be the joint creation of several scientist but the man within is unknown.

 

Cloud: The true origin of this unusual being is unknown. She posses the power to transform into a variety of gases/fluids, creates fogs, blinding clouds manipulate the weather and is seemingly indestructible.  She rarely speaks and seems to defer to Guardsman

 

Knighthawk: A product of Tyranthrax technology, Knighthawk is a cyborg with enhanced strength, speed and stamina. She can fly using built in jets, has several built in weapons systems and natural armor Knighthawk is second in command of the team.

 

Wraith: As his name suggests, Wraith can assume a ghostlike form, intangible and invulnerable. In this form he can walk on air, become imperceptible and pass through solid matter. On the other hand he can increase his density by several orders of magnitude, gaining superhuman strength and resistance to

injury.

 

Magus: A recent addition to the team, Magus’ origin is unknown. He is a sorcerer of some power, able to conjure magical bolts, shields and other magical effects at will. He can fly and is an expert on all manner of occult lore.

 

Black Orchid: Another of the original Tyranthrax experiments, Orchid’s dexterity and reaction time have been boosted to superhuman levels. In combat, she uses a set of special throwing disks, martial arts and her innate combat sense. Black Orchid has gained a reputation as a ruthless fighter.

 

Jade : Created in the blast that opened the age of superhumans, Jade is immensely strong and resilant. She can lift over a 100 tons, ignore high caliber machine gun fire and is immune to the effect of radiation and heat. A flamboyant fighter, she is surprisingly fast for  her size and skilled in a few hand to hand combat techniques.

 

Matrix: A new comer, Matrix possesses the power to “solidify” energy or convert matter to energy by doing so he can create powerful barriers, explode objects and create forms from ambient energy. His potential power is limited by his inexperience.

 

Devastator: Somewhere between vehicle and hero, Devastator is a huge humanoid robot, piloted from within by an unknown individual. Devastator is a immensely strong, heavily armed and armored. and capable of taking immense punishment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The Legionaries: Formed fairly recently from an accidental meeting between

several heroes, the Legionares have made quite a reputation for themselves

in their breif stint as a team. They have bested several Viper teams and the

forces of the villain calling itself  the Master. Having one member that had

achieved a measure of fame as an independant hero has only added to their

reputation.

 

Darkstar: The leader of the team, Darkstar posses the power to create and

manipulate a strange black form of energy. Using it he can levitate.

teleport and project concussive bolts as well blanket an area in darkness.

His origin and identity are unknown but he seems to be sponsored by Blackhawk

Aeronautics.

 

Hellfire: Another veteran of the Tyranthrax war, Hellfire was thought

retired but she returned to the superheroic arena when she aided DarkStar

against a viper team robbing a military shipment. She is a living nuclear

reactor, generating immensely powerful blast of radioactive and plasma. She

can fly using her flames and is sheathed in fiery plasma.  Her powers are

unstable, so she must wear a control harness to keep them in check .

 

Foxfire: A strange and silent young woman, Foxfire’s origin is unknown. She

seemed to join the team shortly after its formation and has remained ever

since. Foxfire can project laser like beams of energy as well as fly by

unknown means. 

 

Nightshade: Formerly an independent hero, Nightshade has achieved a measure

of fame with her own line of comics and a video game based on her exploits

agsinst crime in inner city New York. Beautiful and flamboyant, she

actually isn’t a fame seeker and seems somewhat embarrassed by all the

attention she has received. Rumor has it that she is the lover of another

superhuman, Star Hawk. Nightshade is a master marital artist, schooled by

the legendary teacher Sensei in dozens of unarmed combat techniques. Her

dexterity and skill rival that of any warrior in the world.

 

Empath: A powerful emotional controller, Empath is one of the original

members of the team. She joined with Darkstar at the beginning of the

team. Empath is very quiet about her origins, never letting anything of them

be revealed. She posses an unusual accent that is lovely but impossible to

place.

 

Tigra: A feline humanoid female. Tigra is an altered clone of another team

member, Nightshade. Created by Genengineer in an attempt to assassinate the

martial artist. Instead she was captured. Over a few weeks Empath used her

abilities to cool her bestial rages and help her form a personality. Tigra

considers the team her family and Nightshade a sister.

 

Starchild: Stranded and alone, her ship damaged beyond repair, Starchild fell

under the influence of the alien Master. The creature promised to return her

home is she worked with him. She battled the Legionnaires on its behalf a few

times before discovering he had no intention of aiding her. Ridden with

guilt she has decided to make amends by acting as a hero.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------

The Circle: This team is an enigma. Most don’t even know it exists. A

coalition of magical heroes they have united to present a united front

aginst the forces of DEMON and other occult threats. They have worked with

most major superhuman teams in the past as well as ISIS. There exact

membership is as unknown as their origins but suspected to include, at least

loosely most magical superhumans.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------

 

Omega Unit: Super villain mercenary team

Allegiance: Independent

Motivation: Mercenary, driven by the bottom line. Shrapnel and Blade enjoy

combat but the other considers themselves purely professional.

Status: Known criminals/mercenaries wanted by law enforcement officials

worldwide. Ruthless but no where near as visous as Eurostar and Terror

Incoporated.

 

Members: Huntsman: Professional Soldier equipped with a suit of powered armor.

Highly skilled at combat and tactics, group leader.

 

        Arclight: Mutant human with the ability to absorb kinetic energy and

redirect it into blast and explosive bursts. Possesses superhuman strength to

an unknown degree.

 

        Bullseye: Ex Special forces sniper now assassin for hire. Bullseye

uses high powered rifles to dispatch his targets. Cold and relentless he has

racked an impressive "tally"

 

        Stalker: Partner of Bullseye’s, Stalker earned his name. He tracks

his targets, picking just the right time to strike. He has an array of high

tech weapons at his disposal, among them a portable minigun, laser pistol

and Man portable Autocannon.

 

        Flare: Another mutant, Flare can generate intense light/heat energy.

She seems to be the most laid back of the group but is none the less lethal

when she chooses to be.

 

        Shrapnel: Composed of living metal, Shrapnel can literally explode

into razor sharp fragments, reforming an instant later. Less randomly he can

slash with his jagged edges or rend his opponents with his great strength.

A sociopath, he cares nothing for innocents caught in the line of fire and

seems to revel in causing as much destruction as possible.

 

        Blade: Much like Shrapnel, Blade loves combat. A master of knives,

she engages in HTH as much as possible, grinning all the while. She seems

resistant to cutting herself, which make her relationship to Shrapnel more

feasible than it seems.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Of course there are several villain team but I thought that was a good taste

of the worse.
