Springheel Jack is a demon. He used to hunt down escaped souls, and return them to Hell. So, really, he used to be a devil. These days, he hunts down and kills just about anyone who strikes him as a challenge. He’s a serial killer, a mass murderer, mayhem always looking for a new place to happen, and exciting new people to happen to. But recently, he came to Barrow after a quarry, and he can’t get out. That has made him really mad. And as he can’t die, or even be put down for very long, that makes it everybody’s problem.

He’s a movie psycho killer, always right behind you no matter how fast you run. His speed represents this ability…he very rarely actually runs anywhere. He always appears to sort of shuffle along after you, implacably. Except when he leaps, of course. That’s where he got his name…although he used to dress up like bat…these days, that’s so cliché, even in a place like Barrow. He also used to breath fire, but he likes his guns better. They do his firebreathing for him.

Thanks to Alien Mastermind for the pic.

Toxarchos is actually an Olympic archer, and professional hunter, from Greece, recognized by the gods for his skill. That being the case, one might think his attack bonus is too low. Take into account that he’s a better shot with a bow than a SWAT guy is with a gun, plus he has Improved Aim, Accurate Attack, All-Out Attack…and Precise Shot. Aiming at a target that isn’t shooting back, he can have a plus 21 to hit. In unpowered form. Bullseye every time. That doesn’t equate to real world success as much as Stavros Asteros expected. The gods gave him a magic bow, possibly even Heracles’ old bow. Apollo told him he was expected to live up to it, be a great hero. He’s trying. His first adventure in the US ended ignominiously, when the Bronze Brigade captured him, in addition to the villain he had targeted. He was charged with super heroic actions without a license (a crime in Neopolis) and subsequently asked to either join the team or go home. He joined the team. And then went home anyway, after Doc Bronze explained that Greece had super villains too.

When in heroic form, he looks like a young Greek God in a linen loincloth, golden bow in his hand. His hair in either form is black and curly, and his eyes are a very bright blue.

Aegis. He’s tall, slim. Quiet. Dresses impeccably, in a dark suit. Wears sunglasses and a Secret Service style ear commlink. He’s always right there with the Advocate, in all circumstances. He uses his powers, primarily, to shield the Advocate from harm. That’s what he’s paid to do. Paid a lot. He’s one of the best bodyguards in the business…even better when you add in his powers. He doesn’t use his real name, anymore. No one knows it.

John Quinn is a brilliant biochemist. Unfortunately, he’s a product of the 60’s, and never stopped sampling his own psychotropic products. It led him into a life of crime, and he eventually went to work for the Firm, using his Drug Injection harness, the speed it gave him and his hypo guns to commit hair brained but lucrative robberies. He also developed other versions of his Rush drugs to be used by others in the Firm, especially their thugs. He has no compunctions about leaving someone to die, dosed with the appropriate drug, but generally prefers to use non fatal options like debilitating nausea, hallucinogens, and downers.

His outfit is...well...colorful. Skin tight purple spandex pants, orange vest with built in drug harness, a stylized red R with speed lines on the left breast, bright blue spandex shirt, white gloves. The Hypo guns themselves are highly polished silver, and mounted on the back of each wrist, with clear tubes connecting to the drug harness. His running shoes are red, with blue stylized R's (with speed lines) on the side.

He was just a street thug. A darned tough one, but still. Ok, so almost no one without powers was stronger or tougher. But, in a super villain world, he was just a street thug. Until Rush recruited him to exercise his natural talents (being tough and breaking things) and implanted and adrenal stimulator and drug complex dispenser just behind his heart. Now, he can trigger a boost, and be the equal of most super-villain powerhouses…for about a minute. He’s tired afterward…but you can do a great deal in a minute.
Basically, he's a working man's Bane, without the tell tale tubes.

He looks like every other nameless mook, until he boosts. Then he looks like a nameless mook doing what nameless mooks really wish they could…kicking super-hero butt. He often leads groups of Rush’s gang, the Juice, many of whom use much less potent versions of Rush’s battle drugs.


Add 22 ranks of Sidekick to anyone (PL 10 or greater) you want to have Adrenalin as backup.

[SplendidTuesday]

It's alright, Jack, you don't have to hide anymore. We know you're doing drugs. We won't judge you, merely help you on the steps to recove- Wahahaha, I can't take it anymore! I love your drug-themed builds! So very trippy...

Good job, druggi- Jack.

Devon’s descended from French nobles who fled during the Revolution. They fled early, and managed to save most of their fortune. In the colonies, they aided against the British during the American Revolution, and parleyed their support and financial acumen into even greater fortune.

When Doc Bronze started his experiment in Neopolis, the Feurponts jumped for it, bringing their chemical and tech companies along to Neopolis. So they are big business and have a lot of sway in town. Devon has always had everything she wanted. She got bored. She joined the Firm, and burns things, and people down for the fun of it.

Tremor. Nobody calls her anything else. She’s a tough little 13 year old street punk with frightening power. She’s got no sense of responsibility, no ties to human society. She takes what she wants, because no one ever gave her anything…until the Advocate came along and gave her a home. Because of this, she does what he wants. Mostly.

She’s a terror, causing absolutely huge amounts of collateral damage…and God help the world if she ever uses her powers near a major fault line.
