Thanks for the feedback, guys.
Time to roll out another hero team: The New Olympians
Instead of doing the straightforward god interpretations, I thought it’d be interesting to make them ordinary people…sort of. With the gradual decline of polytheistic worship in Greece, the gods abdicated Mount Olympus and traveled to the modern day American city of Olympia, WA, where they gifted their powers to certain chosen mortals in an effort to pass on their dying legacy. Each of the chosen New Olympians was born with a birthmark representing the god they were meant to replace.
As you’ll see, where Clockwork is kind of like my Avengers team, the New Olympians are more akin to the X-Men.
Let’s kick it off with Javier Zayas, the team leader and new bearer of the lightning bolt of Zeus:

Javier Zayas is the oldest New Olympian and team leader. He was chosen by Zeus to become the new king of Olympia, but times have changed since Zeus’ day. Besides, Zeus no longer has a say in the matter. Zayas has seen many strange occurrences around his hometown of Olympia, WA, and in addition to using his fists of thunder and lightning to fight crime in his youth, he now runs a martial arts school with his wife, where he helps other New Olympians cope with their emerging powers through meditation and self-discipline.

Era Campana-Zayas is Javier’s wife and the chosen vessel of Hera’s power. She can channel energy into her fists, giving her enhanced strength. She serves as business manager of her husband’s Mount Olympia Martial Arts Academy, as well as being second-in-command of the New Olympians.
