One of the first Outcasts to join The Watchman’s sanctuary, Danielle may look harmless enough, but she has more reason than most to want to keep away from the outside world. Born with a very unfortunate superpower, her right hand absorbs the life force of any living thing she touches. Whilst her left hand does return the taken life force, the return is much slower than the absorption and isn’t always guaranteed to heal the full damage done. Knowing that a simple touch from her hand could be enough to kill anyone she cared about, Danielle ran away from her previous life and found a new one amongst the Outcasts, amongst people who would have some understanding of her struggle.

So I was messing around with the superhero name generator at superhero.namegeneratorfun.com and it presented me with the name Doctor Warp and the idea of dimensional gateways. It immediately sparked an idea in my head so here she is, the interdimensional traveller, Doctor Warp. 🙂

(I should point out that she’s stepping through a portal here. I didn’t just forget to give her a left foot)

Amanda Swift is probably the most powerful suerhuman there is and, by definition, the most dangerous. She has the ability to control the fundamental forces of nature, the four sub-atomic interactions that bind the universe together, being: Gravity, Electro-Magnetism, Strong Interaction (the force that bind atoms together) and weak interaction (the force that causes atoms to decay and fall apart). Theoretically, she could cause the atoms within someones body to fall apart, disintergrating them in an instant. Fortunately, she doesn’t have the temprement for such an action, but she is noted by world governments as a potential threat and is under constant surveillance. She has her freedom because everyone is too afraid to make a move against her, fear that she may lash out against hostile action is a strong deterant, even to the most powerful of governments or even supervillains. At this point, allowing her to live with the relatively peaceful superhuman group known as the Outcasts seems to be the most sensible option. Although she has her freedom, her powers cause her more problems. She was the first superhuman identified with what would later become known as Walters-Swift Syndrome (named for her father Doctor Theodore Swift and his research partner Doctor Steven Walters, both since deceased), a rare genetic defect seen only in the most powerful superhumans. The syndrome gradually saps the body of both power and energy, scarring the skin as it does so, eventually leading to death.

Sometimes it seems like the whole world is a bad fit.

A former W.I.L.D operative, Alex Cole has the ability to absorb kinetic energy and transform it into muscle mass. However, these rapid shifts in size and weight have played havoc with her joints and now, even before hitting 30, she has been forced to retire from active duty. She refrains from using her powers unless absolutely necessary, as doing so causes her great discomfort. Since leaving W.I.L.D she has joined The Watchman’s Outcasts, a group of superhumans hiding from society, feeling that she could do more good helping her fellow superhumans in need than just sitting around all day feeling sorry for herself. Being one of only two members of the group with any real experiance of superheroics, she has been pushed into a prominant leadership position within the group and is one of the first people most will turn to with their problems.
