Alias: Amok
Real Name: Asa Gardner
Genre: Superhuman
Powers/Special Skills: with increased heart rate: super strength, super stamina, super speed
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: none
Other Aliases: none
Status: under supervision at the Superhuman Containment Facility
Bio:
Asa was born with a genetic mutation that causes his body to go into an adrenaline-fueled, superhuman blind rage when his heart rate raises above normal levels. Regardless of the cause of his excitement, he will be thrown into a fury during which his only motivation is destruction. Needless to say, Asa hates his condition because it often causes him to unwittingly hurt others. When in this super flight-or-flight state, he refers to himself as "Amok", but he rarely speaks other than to roar his war cry. For a long time, Asa tried medication and yoga exercises to keep himself calm, but eventually he was forced to turn himself in to the Superhuman Containment Facility so that the world could be safer without him.

Alias: Amp
Real Name: Harriett Farson
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: none
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: a suit that produces electrical sparks in her boots when she moves; these sparks are then stored in her belt and converted into bolts of deadly electricity in her chest plate, which she can then fire from her gloves.
Affiliations: The Dynamos
Other Aliases: Friction
Status: active
Bio:
Harriett is actually the second person to carry the mantle of Friction. her uncle Brad was the original. Brad possessed a technologically advanced suit that created sparks of electricity when he moved, and then could store and fire the electricity in long bolts utilizing his boots, belt, chestplate, and gloves.
Harriett was the only person in the world who knew that Brad was moonlighting as Friction. She only knew because she caught him wearing the suit when she was 14 and he finally broke down and confessed to her. After years of being the shocking hero, Brad had come to understand the composition of his unique costume, and after Harriett's pleas he finally agreed to create a second suit and allow her to be his sidekick.
And so it was that Amp was born. Brad and Harriett became legendary as a crime-fighting duo until Brad was paralyzed in a drawn-out fight with the sinister Fourth Reich. By this time Harriett was 18, and Brad deemed her worthy to begin a solo career, and carry the name Friction.
She did so with a heavy heart, but in honor of her uncle, Harriett lit up the streets of Ford City with her bright flashes of electricity in battle against the Fourth Reich. With the help of the Dogs of War, the Fourth Reich was defeated and detained.
This victory got her noticed by the Dynamo Council, and she was asked to join the team.

Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: telekinesis
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: The Impossibles
Other Aliases: none
Status: active
Bio:
The Impossibles are a team of superheroes who immigrated from their home country of Russia recently. They had grown tired of the grayness in the streets, skies, and faces of their country's people. Each is in his or her late twenties or early thirties, and they quickly found upon arriving in America that they had their work cut out for them. Here, in this highly commercialized, rich land, crime and villainy were abundant, and they knew instantly that they had traveled across the world for a higher purpose. In little time, the Impossibles had become one of the foremost champions for justice in Caligo.
Ana is a headstrong young woman who will not be outstaged by any man. She often refuses help offered to her, believing that if she can't get something done on her own, she doesn't need to do it. She is a powerful telekinetic who can lift objects of immense mass and weight with her mind.

Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: none
Other Aliases: none
Status: active
Bio:
Anansi based his name on the trickster hero spider of African legend. He is an incredibly gifted thinker, full of cunning and wit, and prefers to out-think his enemies rather than physically fight them.

Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: Power House, Honor Guard
Other Aliases: none
Status: active
Bio:
Hank's mutant power didn't manifest itself into he hit puberty. He was no good at sports at that time, but when he would play backyard football with his neighborhood friends, he suddenly became extremely hard to tackle. Hank and his parents finally realized something superhuman was going on when he fell through the floor of his bedroom and onto the kitchen table below.
Unable to cope with a son who could become a metric ton in seconds, Hank's parents enrolled him in the Power House, where he was able to finish of his secondary education and learn to control his power. During his time there, Hank began to work out heavily, needing a way to still move himself when his arms and legs got heavy. By the time he had graduated from Power House, Hank had turned himself into a muscle-bound hulk, though if he densifies his body to weigh more than about 500 lbs, he's unable to move.
Hank left Power House and was accepted at Intrepid University, where he received degrees in English Education and Creative Writing. He worked his way through college as a bouncer at a local night club. After graduation, Hank returned to his old school to join the faculty and the super team of Power House, known as the Honor Guard.

Alias: Angler
Real Name: Harland Watkins
Genre: Mercenary
Power(s)/Ability(s): uses high-tech underwater suits
Affiliations: anyone willing to pay him
Other Aliases: Octopus, Swordfish, Killer Whale
Status: at large
Bio:
Harland was once a Navy Seal, well-versed in underwater espionage and demolition. But the thrill of his patriotic friends did not seem to course through him, so he left the service and went to work as a hired aqua-terrorist. To avoid capture, Harland took on various aliases, all aquatic animals, but the one he uses most is Killer Whale. Harland wears a black wetsuit, and attached to his scuba tank is a booster he designed himself, which propels him swiftly through the deep waters of the oceans. Many electronic explosives are magnetically attached to his suit, for easy access and to avoid dropping any.
The Angler suit comes equipped with two large fish hooks attached to the gauntlets, special underwater lenses in the helmet, and a sophisticated breathing apparatus.
Harland has had many a run-in with undersea superheroes Blue Marlin and Waverunner, but always manages to evade capture.

Alias: Angstrom
Real Name: Grady Howell
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: body composed of bioelectromagnetic energy; control of electricity and magnetism
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: particle attractor
Affiliations: none
Other Aliases: none
Status: active
Bio:
Dr. Howell was, in his previous life, a renowned scientist at the Institute for the Development of Energy Alternatives (IDEA), where he was heading a team attempting to harness, manipulate, and use the very bioelectromagnetic energy within living things. Dr. Howell's intent was to collect this relatively low-level energy, amplify it, and use it to power machinery.
But one day, the actions of an industrial saboteur caused a massive power surge in Dr. Howell's equipment, and he was bombarded by a barrage of accelerated particles that transformed him into a living cloud of bioelectromagnetic energy. In his newly acquired state, Dr. Howell has a vast control over electricity and magnetism, but his brain has also been altered. He perceives reality in a different manner than normal humans, a manner he believes to be far superior and greatly advanced. Though he is primarily on the side of good, occasionally his perspective leads him to use his powers in destructive or confusing ways. His justification for these strange outbursts is an awareness of a universal stream of events that sometimes require his intervention to manifest into what he calls "the story of time," which will end in some immense event that he must ensure will happen through his actions.
Usually, Grady is able to maintain his human form through light concentration, but when he is in a particularly stressful situation, that concentration can be broken enough that he will start to come undone. Therefore, he designed and built a device that attracts the particular energy of which he is composed and helps keep him together.
Pictures:
I like Angstrom. His "story of time" angle is unique. I like the long-range view to his motives (cause & effect). It's along the lines of Confucius, Aristotle… karma, tao, zen… etc. He is most likely the Dr. Fate or Manhattan of your meta-verse.. maybe an Etrigan? Also, great allusion with "Angst" and "Strom."
Thanks, dude. There is definitely a lot of Dr. Manhattan inspiration in him. However, I wasn't actually going for word play in his name, it's just a cool word (an incredibly small unit of length used to express the size of atoms, molecules, etc.)

The animal kingdom is far more aware of the affairs of the world than humans believe. They also share a common magical link between them.

This human becomes animalkind's champion against evil.
The current bearer of this power is Johnny Scott. He can change any or all of his body parts into those of any animal species that has ever lived on Earth, including ones that are extinct. When he had grown accustomed to his new gift, Johnny hit the streets, protecting the innocent and battling the wicked. He was sought out and recruited by the superteam N-Force.

Status: active

When they arrived, the heroes were shaken by the bloody wake the creature had left. Further investigation showed that the nocturnal menace was the only known abominable snowman, an enormous monster covered in thick white hair. The CNH was able to neutralize the creature, and it was tranquilized and brought to a government facility. After a few months, the beast was captured by members of the Sinister Society, a vast network of supervillains led by Axis. Now the creature, who calls itself Aok, is under the employ of one of the greatest evil minds in history.

Alias: Apex
Real Name: Brian Fitzgerald
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: enhanced strength/speed/durability/stamina
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: Varner-Poole Pharmaceuticals
Other Aliases: none
Status: active
Bio:
Brian was once a career drug tester. He would sign up for paid medication trials and barely scrape by on the payments he would get. But one of those drugs would forever change his life. It was called Apexia, manufactured by mega corporation Varner-Poole Pharmaceuticals, and its intent was to give its user slightly higher-than-human superpowers. Testing on animals had yielded desired results, and Brian was the first human to be administered the drug. He was soon transformed into the super-powered mascot Apex, and spent most of his subsequent time doing commercials and making public appearances to pique public interest in Apexia.
But it was soon discovered that none of the people who had purchased the drug exhibited any observable effects from it. Both Brian and Varner-Poole were accused of fraudulent advertising. It was alleged that brad had already been superhuman, but had only pretended to become so thanks to Apexia. In truth, Brian had been completely honest about his transformation. What he didn't know was that he possessed a unique gene in his DNA necessary to make Apexia work correctly. This gene was so rare that only about .01% of the world's population possessed it. It was simply incredible coincidence that he had happened to be the test subject. This was discovered by a geneticist several years after Brian had declared bankruptcy in disgrace, and he knew the public would never fully trust him again, but Brian was able to pull himself up from a depressed, alcoholic stupor and become an actual hero, using his physical might to protect those who needed protection.

Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: bionic implants grant advanced weaponry, infrared vision, limited armor, enhanced strength, various gadgetry
Affiliations: Sphinx Foundation
Other Aliases: Ptolemy Shakespeare
Status: enslaved
Bio:
Once he was simply a gorilla living in the wild in central Africa. Because he was the biggest, he was the dominant male of his troop. It was because of his imposing size that he was targeted for apprehension by the bounty hunter Carson Chase, under the employ of the shadowy corporation known as the Sphinx Foundation. Ape-X, as he would be code named, was brought to a Sphinx lab in the U.S. and pumped with various genetic enhancements, turning him into a super-genius with the body of a beast. Once he had gained this intellect, Ape-X gave himself the name Ptolemy Shakespeare, after his two most prominent inspirations. He was also given extensive bionic implants, granting him further power. But part of these additions included a device allowing the scientists of Sphinx to control his actions, and he was made Head of Security of all Sphinx facilities.
