The Midnight Runner The Helix Virus made monsters of some, but Douglas Maven was not that unlucky.  Within days of exposure his powers were materialising and where some only had one, or two, Douglas seemed gifted with many.  That said, none of them were particularly strong on their own, but as a package they were […]

Dark Star Dark Star is too much of a hero to just be written off as one of the nightpeople.  But he spends too much time in the gloom and the darkness to be considered a traditional hero. Instead he straddles the line between the colourful superheroic and the weird and strange. Working the tougher […]

Countdown Since he was infected by the Helix Virus, John King has been able to do some really, really strange things.  In truth, he still really doesn’t understand the full nature of his abilities to influence time, but he is beginning to understand that it gives him access to Great Power.  And he knows exactly […]

Beast Nelson No room for subtle minds here – Beast Nelson is huge with two small blood-red eyes that peak through a thick layer of shining black fur. A tendency to crush bad people until they weep or generally throw thugs about has proven to be a successful tactic in the past. Type Of Hero: Freak […]

Sulis Although Sulis has worked with superheroes and is sometimes involved in the same things superheroes are, she cannot be clearly defined in that category.  She doesn’t really wear a costume, though the outfit she is usually seen in is certainly stylised.  She doesn’t have an incredibly colourful name, just a short monicker that she […]

Captain Pink That was then: Captain Pink once described himself as a force for good and advocate of quiche. His colourful costume may not strike fear into the heart of villains, but his stylish poise, chiselled abs and square jaw do inspire a certain admiration in them. His faithful sidekick Poptastic Boy, ‘the Toy Boy […]

Lionheart The legend goes like this.  Once there was a man who became the hero named Lionheart.  Just your typical man much like everybody else.  Nothing very special about him at all.  His love of motorbikes vied with his need to earn a few bucks turning his hand to manual work.  Nevertheless he managed his […]

Iron Maiden Good-humoured and likeable, this powerhouse is fun to have on the team and deadly to have as an enemy.  What she lacks in subtlety she more than makes up for in raw power. There’s nothing very complicated about what Iron Maiden does, she breaks things.  But she does it very well indeed and […]

Vermilion Widow Wherever the action is, that’s where the Widow will be.  Combining speed with stealth she can be upon the bad guys before they know what is happened – and by the time they do know it’s probably too late. Type Of Hero: Abnormal Base Of Operations: Helix City – The Port Secret Identity: […]

Got Gal Got Gal had no intention of becoming the new Lara Croft, but fact is most of her adventures just lately have taken into sewers and tunnels and other ickyness.   It’s not appropriate really, given how scant her costume is.  Oh well.  If life deals you lemons… Got Gal’s powers come from her pendant.  […]
