As promised here are the original members of the Axis Elite – the superpowered enforcers of the Axis during WWII:
Superion
The ultimate Aryan, Superion was the first success for the Nazi Eugenics program, he possesses super strength, invulnerability, and flight. Grown in a lab, he had the mental faculties of a newborn when first ‘hatched’ but underwent a series of mental programming to make him loyal and obedient to the reich. He was named Reinhardt Weiss by one of the scientists.
Valkyrie
Gertrude von Falcke was a shining example of Prussian and Aryan superiority, she volunteered to be the first test subject for a new serum that had been created to enhance a persons natural strengths. Gertrude survived the process unlike the other 9 subjects. Christened Valkyrie, she has super strength and armoured skin but is prone to give in to bouts of bloodlust in battle.
Iron Eagle
Heinrich Gruber became an ace fighter pilot during the spanish civil war where he served with the Condor Legion. Returning to Germany he was assigned as a test pilot for experimental aircraft. Whilst piloting a new cutting edge fighter, there was a malfunction in the plane’s controls which ended in a fiery crash landing. Heinrich survived due to his skills but was badly disfigured and would never fly again. Needing a test subject foran armoured suit reverse engineered from alien tech that the Nazis had uncovered, the comatose Heinrich was selected. Thus was born the Iron Eagle.
Purge
Markus Grunwald was a fanatically devout Nazi and party member from the earliest days of the organisation. He developed the Purge armour himself in order to be more efficient in cleansing Germany of undesireables.
Southern Belle
Charlotte Jackson-Heider was the daughter froom the union of an old southern family and even older German nobility. The fact that her maternal family were died in the wool Klansmen and her paternal family were staunch supporters of the Nazi party were a big influence leading her to be strongly sympathetic to the Nazi cause, so much that, when her powers kicked in at 16, she began training in their battlefield usage. When she turned 21 she went to Germany and offered her services. She was immediately made a member of the Axis Elite.
SeaLion
Johannes Schultz was one of Germany’s finest swimmers, when he was beaten at the 1938 Olympics he was devastated. In 1939 a strange body washed up on a German beach, scientists studied the body, that of an Atlantean and derived a crude genetic serum from its dna. Johannes was chosen as the test subject. Now he can breathe underwater, swim at amazing speeds and dive deeper that any U-Boat. But, he can no longer breathe air and so must wear a special suit and helmet to walk upon land.
Master Race
Adolph Wilhelm Ziegler was always a strong runner and,when injected with a modified version of the serum that created Valkyrie, he became able to move at truly astonishing speeds. Not only that, he could absorb the energy generated by the friction he encountered at high speeds and release it as a devastatingly strong punch, strong enough to pierce the armor of a tank. Doing so exhausted him, often causing him to pass out. A regulator was built into his costume so to warn him when he reached dangerous levels of absorbed energy and needed to expel it safely. Thus was born the Master Race.
I hope you like them.
Ancillary members Phalanx (Italy), Hotspur (England) and Triomphe (France) will follow soon. Along with the scientist responsible for most of the team, referred to as the Weaponeer.
