THE SHROUD
Maximillian Coleridge is a crime-fighter of dubious distinction, invariably treading a personal line between morality and unlawful conduct as The Shroud. Able to wield extra-dimensional shadow matter known as Darkforce, and to traverse the Dark Dimension where that matter originates, the Shroud has been known to freely consort with career criminals for his own ends and has a reputation for Machiavellian methodology.
SILVER SABLE
Well-regarded as a diplomat, administrator and general ambassador for the small Eastern European nation of Symkaria, Silver Sablinova is happiest when employed as an international mercenary, better known as Silver Sable. Fulfilling a family remit established since the Second World War, she has a remarkable success rate in hunting down absconded war criminals – especially Nazis – and recovering looted treasures.
PUMA
Respected and affluent businessman Thomas Fireheart heralds from the Native American Kisani tribe based in Hartsdale, New Mexico. Honored with the mantle of tribe champion, in accordance with an ancient spiritual legacy, Thomas can transform into the mountain lion werecat known as Puma and takes his responsibilities – as the guardian of his people and their lands – deadly seriously.
WEREWOLF
Victim of a dire ancestral curse – lycanthropy – Jack Russell faces a constant struggle to retain control of the savage beast that lurks within. Able to transform into a Werewolf by night, Jack’s animal nature is at its wildest – and sometimes uncontrollable – during the full moon. Although resigned to his tragic fate, Jack still hasn’t given up all hope of finding a cure for his affliction.
MORBIUS
Suffering from a rare and lethal blood disorder, biochemist Dr. Michael Morbius recklessly treated himself with an experimental chemical serum distilled from the bodily fluids of bats, resulting in an even worse fate – an affliction akin to vampirism. Now cursed with a barely suppressible hunger for blood, Morbius continues to seek a true cure for his miserable condition, though with little hope for success.
SLYDE
When his unscrupulous bosses attempted to steal his invention – a remarkable chemical substance that could render any surface virtually frictionless – a bitterly disillusioned Jalome Beacher resorted to a life of larceny. Coating a speed-skater’s outfit with his chemical and adopting the criminal identity of Slyde, Jalome now relishes his new life as a respected thief and master opportunist for hire.
SCYLLA
After charter airline pilot Cylla Markham was grievously injured whilst assisting members of the X-Men in a mission, she was approached by the villainous Donald Pierce and willingly underwent biogenetic reconstruction, emerging as a high-functioning cyborg. Since tangling with the X-Men under the name Lady Skullbuster, Cylla has adopted a new identity as Scylla and is presently employed as a bodyguard and personal assistant to Thomas Fireheart, the Puma.
ASP
Heralding from Egypt, Cleo Nefertiti is a woman of mystery and a career criminal and opportunist known as the Asp. Once a prominent member of the professional criminal organisation the Serpent Society, she possesses the ability to transfix and paralyze unsuspecting observers with the sensual movements of her body when she dances, and can also secrete a lethal venom from the pores of her skin, resulting in a frightful Touch of Death.
