Name: Megan Harris

Codename: Copy Cat

Powers: Power Mimicry, Innate Ability (Permenantly Copied Power), Enhanced Healing Factor (Permenantly Copied Power)

Bio: The youngest member of the frontline Protectors team, Megan Harris was born with the ability to copy the superpowers of other people. This can be temporary or permenant, depending on the circumstances of the copy. Generally, she can copy any power from any superhuman within a 10 metre radius, either their entire power set or a specific power if she needs/ wants a specific one. However, copying from a distance is only temporary and will only last for an hour tops if she should move further away from the target of her copy. For a permenant copy, she has to have unbroken skin-on-skin contact with the target for, at a minimum, a full minute to 5 minutes, depending on the complexity of the power set she is trying to copy. Early on in her superhero career her copying powers she wasn’t used to led to quite a few mishaps, but since she joined The Protectors she has managed to copy Innate Ability as a power, meaning she can instantly understand and control any power she copies.

– Megan only discovered her power in her late teens, due to the relative scarcity of superhumans she only came across another whilst on holiday with her friends. Unfortunately, the powers set she accidentally copied to discover her own power was that of a pyrokinetic and, not being used to the power, she spontaneously combusted. Fortunately, part of the powers she copied was immunity to being burned and the superhuman she copied was able to stop the fire, but it did leave Megan a slight bit traumatized.

– Megan is really good friends with Leigh Walker, one of a pair of superhero twins. They’ll often meet up for coffee, cataclysmic events and supervillain world take over attempts permiting of course. It was from Leigh that Megan copied her Healing Factor. As for her Innate Ability, Megan copied that from The Protectors tech-support guy, Gideon Mantel.

– Before she copied Gideon’s Innate Ability, Megan had the unfortunate hait of accidentally copying her team-mates powers at random if she wasn’t paying attention. This has led to accidentally blowing up a kettle by copying Catalyst or destroying the clothes she was wearing when copying Amazon. The line was drawn when she copied Mr. Mass and grew to the size of a 3 story building… whilst inside. Fortunately, since gaining Innate Ability, these accidents do seem to have subsided.

– She’s a cat person (if it wasn’t obvious by her codename).

Name: Luis Deacon

Codename: Catalyst

Powers: Energy Conversion

Bio: 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 Luis 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, Luis 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, Luis used his powers to defend himself. He was fortunate to avoid prison time, but his actions did attract some attention within the superhuman community. One such person to take notice was The Titan (formerly of the original Protectors), another superhuman with energy based powers, who offered to train Luis in how to control his powers. The two became quite a team and, when The Titan decided to form a new iteration of The Protectors, Luis was one of the first to join.

– Luis has Caribbean heritage, as his maternal grandparents emigrated from Antigua about 2 years before Luis’ mother was born. He’s never been to Antigua but it is one of his life goals to visit the village his grandparents were born in.

– He’s a fantastic cook. He learnt a lot from his grandmother and, as should come as no surprise, his best dishes all have a caribbean flare to them, including a mean spiced lamb stew.

– Luis is highly religious, his family always went to Sunday service when he was a kid and he tries to attend services whenever possible. One of his cousins married a preacher and he’ll often turn to them for advice if he ever feels unsure about what course of action he should take.

– His parents have always been very supportive of Luis’ superheroic activities and have essentially extended family privilages to all of his team-mates, including invites to family barbecues, any holiday events and they all get Christmas and Birthday cards each year. Luis’ parents are also petitioning the mayor of their city to give Luis the key to the city, though they havem’t heard back yet.

Name: Angella Jacobson

Codename: Angel

Powers: Alien Physiology- Ability to breath in airless environments, High resistance to pressure disparity, Superhuman Strength, Extreme Resiliance to Damage, Superhuman Reflexes. Power Harness Assisted Flight

Bio: The child of an alien warrior and a human woman, Angella inherited a lot of her fathers natural abilities, as well as a fair amount of alien tech. As a child she was forced to hide her powers, for fear of the governement or a corperation finding out and taking her away to be experimented on, but as she grew older she found it harder and harder to hide them. She eventually was forced to go public when she managed to rescue an entire sites worth of workers in the aftermath of an industrial accident in a building site in her home town. She has since started using some of her fathers equipment, most notably a power harness that allows her to fly and two laser blade gauntlets, to help with her heroics and was invited to join The Protectors fairly early on in her career.

– Angella grew up without knowing her father and all she or her mother knows about what happened to him is that he left to go back to space. It is unknown what species he was or what planet he came from, as no species documented have the genetic signature or abilities that Angella displays.

– She discovered that she could survive without oxygen when she was 6 years old. Her mother took her to the beach and she got swept out to sea. Fortunately, after being sumerged for around 10 minutes, she was wash back to shore none the worse for wear. Of course, she was less phased by the incident than her mother was, who was in hysterics when they were final reunited.

– Despite her beach experiance as a child, Angella loves swimming, probably because she can stay underwater for as long as she wants. She prefers swimming in open water as opposed to pools, she says its because she likes the fish.

– She has the biggest collection of shoes out of any of the girls in The Protectors and she loves jewelery with sapphires on.
