Air Force pilot turned Astronaut Aiden Adams stumbled into a long abandoned Preserver base during a survey mission on the moon. The last thing he remembers was accidentally activating some mysterious device before everything went black. When he woke up he was back with the rest of his team who had found him unconscious bu with no sign of any base. Aiden was returned to Earth for assessment where he learned that his body was now in peak condition to the point where he could be classified as a super human.
Despite multiple later searches for the Preserver base, no one seemed able to find it again and the source of Aiden's transformation remained a mystery.
Aiden, now given the nickname Adonis by his coworkers, continued to work for NASA for a number of years before being recruited as head of security for the space command center on Star Island. A job which kept him busy with all the space hero shenanigans and alien invasions he had to deal with over the next few years.
One of Adonis' biggest tests came when thousands of alien refugees from a galactic war arrived on Earth seeking asylum. A temporary camp was set up on Star Island and Adonis effectively became responsible for all of the refugees therein, dealing with all manner of conflict between the various alien races, attacks from anti-alien extremists and the political nightmare that came with holding thousands of alien refugees on American soil.
Eventually though, the refugees were relocated off world to a larger and better suited camp on one of Jupiter's moons (nothing to do with the Mortal God Jupiter) and Adonis was free to return to his normal(ish) life.
Recently though, Adonis has received an invitation from Comet to help him investigate a Preserver base he found on the moon. Neither man is sure if this is the same base where Adonis originally gained his powers but if there's a possibility of learning more about what happened to him then Adonis is on board.
I have to say that i think Max Atom is now one of my favourite characters that you have ever created!! His costume is unbelievable with the amount of detail it has! Great work Mate!!
A highly advanced artificial intelligence originally designed to come up with solutions to humanity's greatest problems, such as war, poverty, climate change and intolerance. Unfortunately, the program was hijacked by a white supremecist organisation called The Golden Cross, who overwrote the AI for their own ends. The plug was pulled on the project when the infilration was discovered, but by that time the group had already copied and transfered the AI. Now hidden behind the pseudonym of Arnold Irvine, the AI aids The Golden Cross plot their facist world domination plans.
For the CDC
Max Atom, totally remastered and modernized!
original Max Adam: https://pdsh.fandom.com/wiki/Max_Atom
Here is Quinn Blaine, the leader of a the Outcasts, a group whose powers have made them unable to function in normal society (It's the Morlocks basically). He has the ability to control sound, amplifying, duplicating and throwing it as he desires. Part of his mutation has left him with a perpetual rictus grin which he covers with a scarf. He at one point had fought crime under the name Cacophany, but he quit when he joined and became the eventual leader of the Outcasts.
Admittedly, his mutation is lesser than a lot of the others in the group, but this made it easier to become the more public face of the group and their advocate in cape circles. The fact that he is their liaison with the normal world and his natural leadership skills are what made him the leader of the Outcasts. He protects his new family and fights to get them a life where they can survive. If they ever run into conflict, he uses his powers to surround their enemies with a wall of laughter or inane chatter, unsettling them.
I also like the Other. Plain/simple is not necessarily a bad thing. For Blackstar's name, maybe something like Transformer or Transducer? Going with the idea of conservation of energy, maybe something like Enthalpy?
Luis Deacon was born with the ability to psychokinetically manipulate the energy within objects, for example he could transfer the heat energy in a hot pan to kinetic energy, causing the pan to immediately cool and fly away. This would often have an unfortunate side-effect if Deacon was not paying attention to the type of energy he was transfering, things invariably ended up exploding or just bursting into flames. This has come back to haunt him in the past. A frequent victim of what could most charitably be described as bullying (and what could less charitably be described as racist abuse) throughout his childhood, Deacon was involved in an incident that led to both the discovery of his powers and the hospitalisation of three of his bullies. Unfortunately, this made things worse. Now with pretty much his entire town knowing about his powers and what he did, he became ostracized and the victim of greater abuse, even into his adulthood. This eventually culminated in a confrontation with some highly drunken frat kids who were trying to run him out of town. The situation quickly got violent and, without thinking, Deacon used his powers to defend himself. He was later charged with voluntary manslaughter and sentanced to prison. However, during his time inside he was approached by a representative of W.I.L.D, enquiring as to whether Deacon would prefer to spend his time in a superhuman rehabilitation program and put his powers to good use as a member of W.I.L.D's A Division, the frontline response team for threats against humanity. Deacon accepted the offer, reasoning that helping save other peoples lives would help pay the debt of the live he took better than being in prison would. He has been taken under the tutelage of The Titan, another energy manipulating superhuman with years worth of expertise in the field of superheroics.
NOTE: Never really liked the power set I gave Blackstar (ever actually, his powers have changed every time I've redesigned him) and I wasn't too happy with how he looked in the previous A Division design, especially facially. So I redesigned him and, because I didn't redesign his civilian costume, you can't actually see his face... oh well, I like it better now even if you can't see it properly. Hopefully now he's a bit more interesting, what with the revamped backstory and costume tweeks, other than Mr. Mass and Prodigy (both of whom I'm will probably redesign as well), he was the member of A Division I put the least effort into the first time round and it shows.
Also, does anyone have any ideas for a better name for him. Blackstar made sense back when his powers involved just heat conversion (in the same way that it made sense for DC and Marvel to have superheroes called Black Lightning and Black Goliath) but he's powers have changed a bit and I'd kinda like to move away from the racial-esque name, but I can't think of what to call him, so any idea would be welcome.
@UbiquitousPixel & @Vengeance: Cheers guys. I wasn't too sure about him, I thought he was a bit plain, so it's good to see people like him.
Anyways....
Taking the name of the angel of death, destruction and renewal, Azrael has made it her purpose in life to rid the world of those she sees as unfit to live in it, so as to usher in a new, better world for all. Her targets tend to be those who she sees as selfish, whether they horde resources for themselves, steal from others or just do not contribute in any meaningful way to the betterment of society. Able to become intangible, she can get past any locked door that may stand in her way.
