Alias: Energod
Real Name: Roman Rabinski
Genre: Supervillain
Powers/Special Skills: composed of raw energy
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: containment suit
Affiliations: none
Other Aliases: none
Status: at large
Bio:
Roman Rabinski was a simple electrician, a contractor whose work usually took him to large companies. He was working a job at a research facility late one night, when he was suddenly shocked by an extreme surge of electricity. Rather than kill him, the current turned his body into pure energy. Dazed and terrified, Roman staggered through the halls of the laboratories, and as luck would have it, ran into the only scientist working so late at night (who was currently dating Jaclyn Chambers). The robotics engineer, after determining the cause of Roman’s condition, decided to donate a suit capable of containing Roman’s slowly dispersing body. Once safely inside, Roman found that not only was he able to move around regularly, but he could fire off and then regenerate blasts from his own body.The sudden surge of power that Roman felt eventually got the better of his mind, and he finally declared himself superior to mortal man, and dedicated his existence to the eradication of humankind.

Affiliations: Dynamos Alpha Red Team
Other Aliases: Archer
Status: active
Bio:
Nothing is known at this time of James’s parents. He has a younger sister, Rosemary, who is the superheroine Echo and possesses a similar ability. It is assumed that one or both of their parents wielded a similar power. Regardless, their parents are nowhere to be found, least of all by their children.James attended Caligo Central High School, easily concealing his talent from his peers and foster parents. He discovered that he could create and fire off blasts of light and sound energy when he went through puberty. For most of his life, James was content to amuse and entertain himself with this power, practicing his aim in the deep forest near his home. He kept mostly to himself.
James went to college at Malachi University and, upon graduation, got a job as an airplane mechanic at the Ford City airport. This job came with the bonus of getting to fly for free a certain number of times per year. On one of these trips, the plane on which James was a passenger was hijacked by Muslim radicals, and he was forced to unveil his power to the public, neutralizing and apprehending the three terrorists. When he was praised for his heroism, James decided to use his unique ability for the greater good as the superhero Energy Arrow. He gained immediate attention and, after changing his alias to Archer, joined the second version of the Dynamos, Team Alpha Red. Over the next few years, he has become the team’s leader.

Alias: The Equal
Real Name: Marybeth Luton
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: gains power to match that of her adversary
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: The Celestials
Other Aliases: Libra
Status: active
Bio:
Marybeth’s life was average before she became a superhero. She grew up in the suburbs of Ford City, married shortly after high school, became a housewife and then a mother of three, and had basically settled down into the familiarity and comfort of her life.But one night, as she was driving home from the grocery store in a terrible thunderstorm, she suddenly saw lying in the middle of the road a strange-looking figure. She swerved to miss it and fishtailed into a ditch. She leaped from the vehicle and ran to the person in the road, who turned out to be neither man nor woman, but alien. It was, in fact, Cal Gronfeld, who had years prior been a member of the Council of Sol, an extraterrestrial group who oversaw the happenings in our solar system. He had escaped the Council in order to come to Earth to protect it from destruction.
Finally, after all these years of living as a human-looking alien and fighting crime as the Equalizer, Cal had been located by the Council and neutralized. He was taking his dying breaths as Marybeth knelt at his side. As she tried to get him to tell her his condition, Cal transferred his otherworldly superpower into her. He told her to always use it for the betterment of the world. And then he died and his body suddenly dissolved in the rain.
Shaken, Marybeth returned home. Life went back to normal for a few days, until Marybeth was in a bank during a hold-up. All four bank robbers were huge, muscle-bound men and could easily beat anyone of the hostages to death with their fists, but Marybeth suddenly felt a surge of power course through her body. Without really thinking, she stood up and beat the living daylights out of all 4 men.
From then on out, Marybeth has realized that when she is faced with conflict, her physical abilities change according to the abilities and power of her enemy or adversary. When not challenged, she has no power, and as her foe becomes weaker, so does she.
Unable to ignore this remarkable gift, Marybeth began stopping small crimes here and there, testing her limits. But one night, she found herself face to face with the villainous Effigy, a psychopath killer made of living fire. All at once, she acquired the same power, and after her initial shock she was able to subdue effigy by creating a ring of fire around him which ate all of the oxygen necessary for him to stay alight. It was then that she realized her true potential, and dedicated her life to crime fighting. She began as the Equal, and gained notoriety as the petite, soft spoken woman who could drop weight lifters with one punch.
Sadly, the pursuit of justice became an obsession of Marybeth’s, and her family life began to suffer. She and her husband finally decided that it would be best, not only for their emotions but also for their safety, that he take the kids and move elsewhere. Marybeth channeled her sadness and loneliness into ferocity and dedication, throwing herself into her work and surviving on monthly checks from her estranged but loyal husband.
Marybeth’s actions were finally noticed by Aquarius of the Celestials, and her strange power of balance made her the perfect choice to fill the shoes of recently retired Libra. Along with the name change came a new costume and a new group of allies.
