Amazon (Real Name: Unknown) - Powerful, mysterious metahuman heroine, who appears very sporadically, usually in New Mexico. Very strong and with considerable leaping abilities, Amazon also appears to be quite resistant to damage and cuts a dashing figure in her gold armor while brandishing a two-handed sword. [Ted Brengle]

The Apostle - The first metahuman incarnation of the Reverend Nehemiah Scutter. The Apostle believed himself to be just that: God's spokesman on Earth. Armed with Baron Blitzkrieg's mace and dressed in simple brown sackcloth and sandals, The Apostle launched a bloody holy war against metahumans, murdering several on his own before he was recruited by Legion to join his diabolical version of The Justice League Of America. The real Justice League thought they had ended the evangelist's supervillain career during the final battle with Legion in Washington D.C., but Scutter soon re-emerged in an even more nightmarish guise. (See also Nehemiah Scutter, Baron Blitzkrieg and The Eschaton) [Ted Brengle]

Josiah Armastead  - The son of a Baptist preacher and farmer in Smalltown, Nebraska, Josiah grew up in a sheltered world due to his large size and immense strength.  By age 10, he was 5 feet tall.  By age 12, he was 6 feet tall. By age 16, he was 7 feet tall and could easily toss a tractor across the field.  His father received a letter from Professor Xavier asking for Josiah to be enrolled at his school for giften youths where he would be given the finest of educations and learn how to control his incredible strength.  Josiah's father reluctantly agreed, realizing that God had a purpose for giving Josiah such abilities.  Josiah has exhibitedphysical  strength beyond any level previously seen, exceeded only by the villain Ubermann.  With that strength, he is able to leap incredible distances.  He also possesses armor-like skin. [Chad Wilson]

The Arranger (Walter Jackson) - The Arranger was the title given to Walter Jackson by the Kingpin of Crime. The Arranger acted as the Kingpin’s right hand man, helping manage the Kingpin’s vast criminal empire.  The Shadow Master was able to subvert the Arranger, secretly turning him against the Kingpin.  The Arranger caused the death of Todd Bennett, a lawyer working as his assistant and an old friend of the Huntress, after discovering that Bennett had learned too much about the criminal activities of the Kingpin and was working with the FBI.  The Arranger made it appear that Bullseye had carried out the hit on Bennett, then set Bullseye up to be ambushed by the White Cobra and the Red Lotus.  Bullseye escaped and after the Shadow Master’s plot was exposed, the Kingpin had Bullseye kill Jackson.  The Kingpin is currently looking for a new Arranger. [Tom "Nico" Bolenbaugh]

The Atomic Armadillo (Dr. Charles Burgis) - Dr. Burgis was a lead genetic engineer at The Sunderland Corporation, and one of the very few survivors of Project: Faustus. After The Patchwork Man dramatically left the project, Dr. Burgis was put in charge of salvaging the fragments of research that survived and using them as the basis for future biotechnology. While attempting to recreate a version of The Patchwork Man's "Anointing" process, he discovered a chemical formula that could activate a dormant Meta Gene, theoretically present in approximately 1 out of 10,000 people. Becoming a philosophical acolyte of The Patchwork Man, Dr. Burgis quickly came to believe that activating this gene in as many people as possible was the only way for humanity to reach its full potential. After the Sunderland Corporation was closed down, he took the guise of the Atomic Armadillo and turned to other sources of income to continue his research, eventually turning up in Gotham where he stole the components he needed to create a large batch of his mutating formula.  The JLA thwarted his plans, but some of the gas did escape.  STAR Labs is now watching that neighborhood for signs of any super power development.  Burgis is currently being held in Arkham Asylum. [Chad Wilson]

The Avenger (Richard Benson)

After his wife and daughter disappeared while on a plane, millionaire-adventurer Richard Benson went into shock. Once he awakened, he found that his hair had turned white and his face had become like putty, with the muscles and flesh moldable. Deciding that a great injustice had happened to him and his family, he begain a mission to combat the underworld. Aided by "Justice, Inc.", a group of men banded together under the Avenger, he continues to seek out and destroy evil-doers. Benson is a genius in several fields and his signature weapons are "Ike." a tiny throwing knife, and "Mike," a tiny, four-cylinder .22 pistol with which he can crease criminals’ skulls, rendering them unconscious. The Avenger has recently been recruited to aid the needs of CURE as a Suicide Squad operative. (Character by Jeff Allen) [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Mike Axford - Intrepid investigative reporter for The Daily Sentinel, Central City's leading newspaper. Axford has made the apprehension and conviction of the Green Hornet a personal crusade. Ironically, the Hornet's reputation--and thus his effectiveness--can largely be attributed to Axford's extremely colorful accounts of the Hornet's escapades. Axford's zeal to pursue any lead on the Hornet recently took him to Bangkok, Thailand, where he was captured by the Candyman's drug syndicate and used as a guinea pig for their addictive new "process." As usual, Axford was rescued by the Green Hornet, but left with the conviction that the Hornet was behind it all. Axford's harrowing account of his descent through the sex and drug-fueled underworld of Bangkok has been reprinted worldwide and has won him a Pulitzer Prize. Axford has no clue who the Hornet really is and would probably have a coronary if he did. (Character adapted by Steve Mollet) [Ted Brengle]

B
Bucky Barnes

Captain America’s boy sidekick. Barns was incinerated by the jet-stream of Baron Zemo’s Doomsday Missile in 1945. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Baron Blitzkrieg (Real Name: Stephen Von Falkenhayn) - Leader of the Super Axis, Baron Blitzkrieg reputedly hated his codename, considering it childish. Son of Erich Von Falkenhayne, a prominent German general in WWI, the Baron was an early supporter of the Nazi party. He volunteered to undergo a process developed by unknown Nazi scientists which would increase his physical strength and resistance to injury to superhuman levels. These were further augmented by the creation of a mystical mace, a weapon created by Nazi occultists to become a physical focus of German nationalism. This mace gave Blitzkrieg the power of flight and allowed him to hurl bolts of lightning, as well as further increasing his strength and invulnerability. During the Super Axis' ill-fated assault on the JSA in 1942, Baron Blitzkrieg fought a tremendous battle against the Blue Beetle in Metropolis. He was finally defeated when Uncle Sam managed to take away the Baron's mace. The Blue Beetle defeated Baron Blitzkrieg and Uncle Sam used the Fist of America on the Baron's mace, shooting it into the stratosphere. Intelligence reports indicate that the Mace came crashing down through the roof of the Reichstaag in Berlin, imbedding itself into the floor. Afterward, Baron Blitzkrieg was imprisoned in the Super's wing of Belle-Reve prison, where he was apparently killed during riots in 1943. For years after. the location of the Baron's mace was unknown. Some reports indicated it was smuggled to South America by fleeing Nazi party members, while others suggested it was captured by the Red Army and taken to the Soviet Union. In 1955, the latter was proven true when the Soviet agent Crimson Dynamo smuggled the mace to Legion, whom had contacted the KGB and told them of its plans to destabilize the United States government--plans which required the mace to work. Afterward, the mace was recovered by the JLA and sent to Lexcorp for analysis. A corrupt faction in the United States government then stole the mace during the Legion Crisis and passed it on to the religious fanatic  Nehemiah Scutter, with disastrous results. (See also Nehemiah Scutter, The Apostle and The Eschaton) [Tom "Niko" Bolenbaugh]

Baron Zemo

Hitler’s chief rocket scientist, Zemo’s mask was stuck to his face by a super adhesive (an accident during a fight with Captain America). He created a doomsday missile to attack Washington DC, but it was thrown off course by Captain America. The ill-timed launch caused the death or Bucky Barnes and for many years was also believed  to have killed Baron Zemo as well. Recently, however, Baron Zemo has reportedly resurfaced and is now allegedly in league with Nathaniel Dusk's Labyrinth.  [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Batgirl - See Barbara Gordon.

The Batman (Bruce Wayne)

Bitter nihilist Wayne saw his wealthy parents beaten to death by a mob of  street people during the Depression, and was almost killed himself. Two Gotham City policemen watched the assault with amusement; a fact ignored by the courts. Wayne grew up plotting revenge on the city, and a more elaborate scheme to destroy all life on the planet "to end the suffering."  A trip to Peru gained him the assistance of Schwar (Jivaro) warriors. Taking the identity of The Batman, Wayne used mutated, poisonous vampire bats as a tool of death. Defeated by Blue Beetle, Batman was confined to Arkham Asylum. He recently escaped and learned of a possible way to gain for himself the combined super powers of the Justice League Of America! With the assistance of The Mad Hatter and Dr. Henry Pym (not to mention advanced technology donated by the Patchwork Man), Batman came frighteningly close to his goal, nearly killing The Joker in the process. He was ultimately stopped by the JLA and horribly wounded by an enraged Harley Quinn. Soon after his condition was stabilized, Wayne was broken out of the Arkham Asylum's hospital ward by a woman calling herself "Batgirl." Wayne's last scheme involved a complex conspiracy of V.I.P.s, fake sorcery, false identities and a terrifying plague that would have destroyed all human life on earth. Luckily, the Suicide Squad was able to unravel the puzzle in time. During the final confrontation at the high-rise headquaters of Wayne's front company, Batman engaged the entire Suicide Squad in combat and was killed by the Gray Ghost. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

The Beastmaster (Real Name: Chuck Wilson) - The Beastmaster has the dubious distinction of being the Justice Society of America's most pathetic opponent. Wilson broke in to the New York zoo and released two lions, a rhinoceros, and an elephant, while screaming madly of his power to control the beasts and bring a reign of terror upon the city. Wilson, in fact, had absolutely no such powers and was soon himself in need of rescuing from the animals. Metahuman heroes Stonewall, Uncle Sam and the Gecko were able to capture the animals and take Wilson into custody. Wilson was diagnosed as schizophrenic and spent several years in a mental institution. He now works as an assistant zookeeper and still receives regular treatment. [Tom "Niko" Bolenbaugh]

Beanbag (Real Name: Unknown) - Rapid-talking "Meta Avenger" who could confuse with her speech, and who could generate and throw beanbag-like objects with various qualities/functions. She was killed by a bomb planted in the home of Scaramouche I. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Stan Belarsky - Older brother of kidnap victim Bobby Belarsky. Inspired by the JLA, Stan will always try to do the right thing. He will eventually discover The Holy Shovel that once belonged to King Arthur and embark in earnest as a hero known as The Shoveler. [Mike Chambers]

Todd Bennett - Todd Bennett was a friend of Helena Bertinelli’s throughout their college years.  Bennett was always very image-conscious and into making influential connections, often outstretching his meager financial means for the sake of a good impression.  Despite this, he was a true and close friend to Bertinelli, (AKA The Huntress).  Bennett was romantically involved with Maggie Simmons, another close friend of Bertinelli.  Bennett worked for Wilson, Wilson, and Wilson, a prestigious New York law firm which has represented the Kingpin and his organization in several criminal trials. Unknown to his friends, Bennett was also a government informant helping the Justice Department in their efforts to bring the Kingpin to trial. Bennett was murdered during the recent Mob War in New York. [Tom "Nico" Bolenbaugh]

Strohm B'had - Esoteric store owner, Ukrainian immigrant, and retired pro wrestler who secretly trades in highly collectable toys. The only known AGF action figure (a prototype from an overly-eager marketing department, it lacks the crucial TM) resides in a locked safe above his store. [Mike Chambers]

Bitter Girl (Roxanne Yablonski) - Sullen "Meta Avenger" who could levitate and hurl force blasts from her hands. She probably had other powers as well, although these have not been quantified. She is currently confined in the new "Juvenile" wing of Belle-Reve. (Based on a character created by Suzanne Jackowski) [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Alistair Black - Shady human magician and occultist who hired the supernatural detective and demon hunter known as Dante to obtain for him the only two  Dreamstones currently on this plane. Dante did, but as they had been used as the power source for The Mad Hatter's mind switching device, all of their magical energy had been released, leaving them burned out husks. Black was unamused by the state of his merchandise upon delivery and swore vengeance upon Dante. [Ted Brengle]

Black Dragon (Real Name: Uknown) - Created by Dr. Gustav Niemann to destroy The Gecko, The Black Dragon was a ninja, surgically altered with komodo dragon DNA. He was involved in Ferik Jaggar’s bid for power, and committed sepukku using Zero Man’s laser sword in 1955. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Black Lotus (Real Name: Unknown) - Former Taiwanese "catalog girl" whose early life was a sad string of exploitation that only ended when her face was scarred, leaving her damaged goods in the eyes of her employers. Thrown out onto the mean streets of Bangkok, Black Lotus eventually became a proficient thief and cat burglar, who often tried to pull children out of the squalid life that almost destroyed her, making many of her former associates into mortal enemies. Her life later changed irrevocably when she found herself in the middle of a Suicide Squad operation targeting the Candyman's drug syndicate, one of the biggest in the world. Hoping to help free innocent men, women and children who were being used to test a terrifyingly addictive new drug additive, Black Lotus joined forces with the Squad, becoming their guide in the wild streets of Bangkok. Needless to say, this long night gave Black Lotus ample opportunity to show off both her guile and her keen combat instincts. The Suicide Squad was so impressed with her, they spread word before they left that she was Green Hornet's "lieutenant" in Asia and that she would be "in charge" of Green Hornet's "new racket" in Bangkok. She has ran with this reputation, and now the entire Bangkok underworld trembles at the name Black Lotus. (Character created by Lynn Chambers) [Ted Brengle]

Black Mask - Click the name for full entry. (Mike "Quick" Chambers)

Black Mask II (Roman Sionis) - Janus Cosmetics heir Roman Sionis was fascinated from childhood with masked villains. Driven to bankruptcy after marketing a disastrously toxic cosmetic, he was bailed out by John Napier Sr., causing Sionis a "loss of face." His father’s death drove him mad, and he carved a black mask from the wood of his father’s coffin. He now controls the Gotham City underworld as "Black Mask". His inner-circle is called the "False Face Society", and each
member wears some form of masquerade mask. Not to be confused with the hero of the same name listed above. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Black Knight - A suit of ancient mystical plate armor, almost identical in appearance (except in color) to Archie Goodwin's scarlet set. Discovered and somehow animated by Dr. Hieronymous Joy, the armor seemed to generate and manipulate the same sort of "shadow energy" deployed by the The Wraith. Nothing is known of the armor's history, although Joy commented that he believed the armor was what the Red Knight set was originally constructed to fight. With Dr. Joy dead, a full account of the armor's origins seems unlikely at best. Inanimate since Joy's death, the armor was being researched by both Lexcorp and Stark International, but disappeared when Stark and Luthor were both kidnapped by the forces of Apokolips. During the JLA's subsequent incursion to Darkseid's realm, it was claimed that the Black Knight armor was constructed by DeSaad, himself. Persistent rumors that the armor somehow fell into the hands of Otto Rifenberg and AIM have recently been verified, as the Black Knight (now operated by ex.-American Knight Benjamin Cole) was one of the prime assassins that AIM fielded against Dr. Doom while he was visiting New York. Defeated by the JLA with the assistance of Dr. Doom, Cole was taken into custody and the armor returned to Lexcorp for further study. Because of some concerns that the Black Knight armor may have altered Cole in some way, Cole was being held at Belle-Reve just to be safe. Needless to say, he was set free along with everyone else during "The Great Escape." He is currently at large and security around the Black Knight armor has been significantly tightened. [Ted Brengle]

Black Widow (Natasha Romanova)

Very little is know about this Russian spy and assassin. It is know that she was a highly-trained special agent attached to the KGB before the Russian civil war. It is believed that she was "turned" shortly before the fighting started by Col. Nick Fury, and she has since been working mostly inside the war-torn former Soviet Union, providing invaluable intelligence on the continuing crisis. All other information on her is currently classified.

Modesty Blaise

Her parents cleverly murdered by a greedy uncle who coveted the family fortune, young Modesty was spirited away by the family cook, lest she be the uncle’s next target (her being the only heir in his path). Placed in the custody of her father’s former Army C.O., Col. Nathan Garvin, Modesty learned the way of the military, and became involved in the arts of military espionage. At 21, when her Trust became legal, Modesty became directly involved in U.S. intelligence circles. In 1952, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. recruited her as a new field agent at a secondary clearance level. Due to her clearance level, the Patchwork Man missed her in his attack, being unaware of her ties to T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Modesty’s partner and lover was Willie Garvin, son of her military guardian and mentor. Soon after their recruitment into the mysterious organization, CURE, Garvin was assassinated, presumably by order of HYDRA, and carried out by the League of Assassins. Recently, Blaise has begun a very public affair with Central City newspaper owner (and Green Hornet) Britt Reid. There is some evidence that she actually may be the daughter of Lord Greystoke and La, Princess of Opar, and thus a descendant of both Earthmen and the Red Race of Mars.  [Andrea Mollett & Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Blastwave (Real Name: Elroy Jackson) - Metahuman criminal who could project powerful shock waves by clapping his hands together. A criminal who's activities previously revolved solely around accumulating wealth, his career ended in a bizarre rampage through the streets of Metropolis, which seemed to be more about wanton, nihilistic destruction. Previously quite loquacious, he never spoke during that incident and has been catatonic since being taken into custody.  There is some circumstantial evidence that the Patchwork Man may have had something to do with Jackson's breakdown and its ensuing violence. Committed to Arkham Asylum, he, too, vanished during "The Great Escape" and has not been seen since. [Ted Brengle]

Blaze (Gwen Stacey)
The former high school sweetheart of Eddie Brock left his life slightly empty when the two went their separate ways following graduation. A few years later, however, she returned to New York to pursue her master's degree at ESU. She was quick to call up her old flame and tell him the good news, and the two quickly reunited.  Unaware of Eddie's alternate persona, she had no idea of the danger that placed her in. Ruthlessly and spectacularly used as a pawn by The Patchwork Man during his recent war with the JLA and Taskforce, Stacey was bound to a murderous, incredibly dangerous symbiotic entity called Carnage that killed several people--including her father. After several months in cryogenic suspension, Stacey was released after Eddie Brock and Dr. Miles Warren developed a process to remove this symbiote. The process involved a tailored virus that incorporated a sample of the Venom symbiote as well as a modification of the Patchwork Man's Anointing protocols. The virus, activated by gamma radiation, both imbued Stacey with several powerful pyrotic abilities, so she could force the Carnage symbiote to sever its connection to her, while also allowing her now-dependent physiology to survive the symbiote's absence. The pyrotic abilities are highly unstable, however, and retaining them risks severe genetic degradation. While she could have removed the powers and their attendant risks shortly after receiving them, she elected to keep them as they provided the only way to save Eddie Brock from the murderous intent of Dr. Miles Warren, who had grown dangerously obsessed with her. Another unforeseen side effect of the process is that the Venom symbiote senses the mutated sample of itself in Gwen Stacey's DNA, and is violently allergic to what it now instinctively considers a dangerous infection, causing Eddie great pain whenever she gets too close to him. The full ramifications of what this mean to their relationship is still unclear. She has now taken the name Blaze and has joined the JLA. (See also Carnage and Dr. Miles Warren) (Played by Melissa Leeseberg) [Brandon Keller]

Blue Beetle (Dan Garret) - Archeologist Dan Garret was on an expedition to an Egyptian tomb in 1936 when he discovered The Scarab of Seken 'Ra.  As he held it in his hand and spoke the name of the ancient priest, he was instantly transported to the ethereal plain and into the presence of Seken 'Ra himself.  Prof. Garret then underwent a tutelage with the mystical priest and learned that the Scarab was created as a symbol of the Guardian of Seken 'Ra and was worn by his apprentice/champion. It was charged with mystical forces that gave the wearer great powers and strength, but only someone with a superior will and a just heart could call on its power. As his own modern world badly needed a champion of justice in those cold pre-W.W. II days, Dan Garret used the Scarab to become "The Blue Beetle," a role which he continues to fill to this day. Blue Beetle has been a charter member of both the JSA and the JLA, and when working alone can regularly be seen patrolling the city of Metropolis. After the JLA's disturbing confrontation with the Patchwork Man and the bizarre circumstances of the Joker's wedding to Harely Quinn, Garret went on sabbatical in late 1954. Garret journeyed to the ethereal plain and worked closely with Seken 'Ra to redistribute and maximize the Scarab's energies. Thus, during this time, brief sightings of Blue Beetle were periodically reported from around the globe as Garret entered a new period of intensive training and study into the powers bequeathed to him.  Master and apprentice both knew that Beetle would need different abilities if he was to continue as a champion for good in these new, vastly more dangerous times, and thus they both worked tirelessly to insure that when he returned to the world, he would be ready to defend it.  [Tim Brown]

Blueblood - A professional fixer and go-between who finds and hires "specialists" with unique talents for a variety of clients, usually criminal. He normally works in New York, but for the last six months he's been working out of Central City and Gotham. His career and reputation for neutrality were both dealt significant damage during the recent Mob War in New York. [Tom Bolenbaugh]

Bombshell (Joe Gunnelson) - Joe Gunnelson was recruited out of the military by Hydra and underwent scientific experiments by AIM.  The process gave Gunnelson the power to create highly explosive fireballs. The blast radius on these is considerable.  He seems to be immune to his own powers, but it is unknown what, if any, resistance he has against fires and explosions he did not create. Unfortunately, he enjoys using his powers to an unhealthy degree as the process that gave them to him also slightly unhinged his mind. Once he starts causing explosions, he does not like to stop, throwing more and more fireballs with a growing glee. Striking out on his own, Bombshell became part of the Shadow Master’s plot to take over the New York underworld.  Through the Blueblood, he was hired out and infiltrated the Donovan syndicate as super-muscle.  He was eventually captured by the Joker and Harley Quinn and sent to the special section of Belle Reeve prison, but was promptly released with all the other supervillains during the recent escape. [Tom "Nico" Bolenbaugh]

**The Bookworm (Rod McDowlin) – Another Gotham City-based gimmick villain, this one obsessed with literature and books. Part of the “Perfect Crime Club,” he was unceremoniously tossed into Stonegate Penitentiary, despite his eccentricities, after he was captured by the Gotham Knights. (Adapted by Steve "Sanson" Mollett) [Ted Brengle]

Boomerang (Real Name: Curtis Debloski) - Super-normal "gimmick vigilante" who operated in the Chicago area from 1944-1949. He was quite proficient with an electrified boomerang of his own design, which he used in a  modest, but effective, battle against crime in his home town. He was killed by the Patchwork Man in 1949.  [Ted Brengle]

Boondock Saint (Connor MacManus)

Connor MacManus worked with his father and brother as the Boondock Saints: a group of vigilantes employing lethal tactics against Boston’s underworld.  One night, things went bad and they were ambushed.  Connor made it out alive, but his brother and father were not so lucky.  Struggling with finding a purpose, Connor moved to New York to escape the mob heat and continue his “work.”  While working one night he came across the Suicide Squad. Upon hearing their story, he knew that joining them was the next step his life was supposed to make. [Brandon Keller]

The Brain - Altered, highly-intelligent white mouse from The Crimson Ghost’s lab in Belle-Reve. Assisted by the pin-headed Pinky, Brain followed Dr. Parker’s example and made his own bid to take over the world. Thwarted by the JLA, he and Pinky were placed in a small cage at Belle-Reve. Although not officially freed  during "The Great Escape" (i.e. given really tiny versions of Scudder's shaving mirrors), Brain and his compatriot, Pinky, did manage to get away during the ensuing chaos at the prison. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Brainiac
An immensely powerful, but dangerously insane, artificial intelligence of alien construction, Brainiac outlived its creators (a fact that Brainiac, itself, may very well be responsible for) and has since wandered the galaxy, leaving unimaginable destruction in its wake. Believing its self-appointed mission was to "preserve" civilizations on the brink on destruction, Brainiac was actually a harbinger of doom and was responsible--both directly and indirectly--for the death of hundreds of billions throughout the galaxy. Convinced of the infallibility of its own calculations and possessing a frightening missionary zeal, Brainiac used advanced matter-energy conversion technology to "steal" the most prominent cities belonging to races it believed to be endangered. It would then study the cities' energy patterns inside its starship mainframe, and then fully digitalize and catalog the cities, effectively destroying them and everyone who lived there. When it was done, Brainiac would leave the "endangered" civilization to its fate. The fact that many of these civilizations might have indeed been able to survive the imminent catastrophes that Brainiac predicted for them had their most important political, social, military and economic centers not simple vanished shortly before the disaster struck was never really ever considered by Brainiac. This methodical series of genocides continued for over a thousand years, but was finally ended when Brainiac met its match in the combined might and cleverness of earth's Justice League of America. Its starship destroyed and its precious catalog of "preservation" lost, Brainiac is now marooned on Earth and, safe within its new hiding place, Brainiac's program now burns with an increasingly irrational hatred of the species that defeated it. [Ted Brengle]

Buddy (Buddy Smith) -  Uncle Sam’s boy sidekick during the war years. As an adult, he became a NSA Special Agent, and provided invaluable aid to Uncle Sam's subterfuge during the Legion Crisis. (See also Uncle Sam) [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Bulldozer (Real Name: Mike Galvin) - Construction worker turned metahuman hero, who was based in New Jersey. Very strong and tough, he was tricked into breaking an innocent man's neck by the Patchwork Man in 1951. Demoralized, he retired soon after.  [Ted Brengle]

Harvey Bullock

No-nonsense, mask-hating, Gotham police detective who, paradoxically, became one of The Joker’s closest friends. Briefly suspended from the force after the institution of the Keene Act during the Legion Crisis, Bullock was later reinstated. Shortly thereafter, however, Bullock was murdered; the first victim of Windom Earle's deadly rampage. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Bullseye (Benjamin Poindexter, probably an alias)

A former baseball pitcher, the man known as Bullseye became a professional mercenary when he discovered his uncanny knack for throwing objects.  As his talents grew, he found that he could take nearly any object, even a pencil or paper airplane, and turn it into a deadly weapon. Adopting the name of Bullseye, he became a professional assassin whose trademark weapon was a deck of playing cards. Possessing lightning reflexes and natural acrobatic ability, Bullseye also became a fearsome martial artist, particularly skilled in the use of firearms and hand weapons. With all of these considerable talents, Bullseye quickly drew the attention of the Kingpin of Crime, who eventually made him his chief enforcer.  During the mob war sparked by the Shadow Master’s plots, the besieged Kingpin hired another super powered enforcer, Sirocco, an open rival for Bullseye’s position.  After Sirocco’s treachery was revealed, the Kingpin placed a large price on his head; a price Bullseye has said he intends to claim.  He is also rumored to have an axe to grind with the Huntress, but that is nothing compared to the hatred he now holds for The Joker, who broke all of his fingers. After this, Bullseye was incarcerated at Belle-Reve for a whole three days before he (along with everyone else) was released by the Mirror Master. Bullseye is the arch-enemy of Daredevil and it remains to be seen how he will react to the public revelation that Matt Murdock is Daredevil. Still recuperating from the injuries sustained at the hands of The Joker, Bullseye is currently laying low and almost certainly plotting revenge. [Tom "Nico" Bolenbaugh]

C
Candyman (Real Name: Felix Quinn) - Metahuman drug kingpin who psychically fed off of the altered states of people under the influence of powerful drugs, as this was the only way he, himself, could get high. When in contact with a mind in an altered state, he could also direct the subject's "trip", thus controlling the subject's thoughts and actions and allowing him to implant powerful suggestions. Quinn was forced to flee the U.S. through the actions of the pre-Red Knight team of Jonathan C. Winchester and Archie Goodwin and--except for a few thwarted efforts to return in the early 50s--never again set foot in the country. Living in Asia, Candyman  ran a massive drug smuggling ring out of the Golden Triangle. He was long believed to be the head of the ring, but the Suicide Squad later learned that Candyman was merely a front for The Patchwork Man. The Squad successfully broke the syndicate, destabilizing the drug trade worldwide, and Candyman died at the hands of the Green Hornet after Modesty Blaise was injured while under his influence. [Ted Brengle]

Captain America (Steve Rogers)

American super soldier created by modern science in 1941. Rogers fought abroad as Captain America all through the war, and apparently died steering Baron Zemo’s  "Doomsday Missile" away from its intended target (Washington DC) and into the Arctic in early 1945. During the Legion Crisis, two Captains Americas emerged. While the first was an evil impostor (Clayface) working in league with Legion, the second was the real Cap who did not take kindly to his name being used to front a budding fascist tyranny. The real Captain America's cool head and leadership skills proved invaluable during the showdown with Legion, and he has since become a charter member of the newest incarnation of the Justice League. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Captain Axis (Helmut Screiber) - German-American Bund member turned Axis agent who worked from a hidden bunker under the streets of New York City. Was killed in a homefront  confrontation with The Prowler, The Professional, and The Junior G-Men. Already wounded, Captain Axis dove into the doorway of an adjoining bunker-room and tossed out a grenade, shouting "Take dot, schweinhunden!" The vigilant Brooklyn fielded the grenade ("You bet I will! I ain’t been peekin’  through a knot-hole at Ebbet’s Field all me life for nuttin’!") and tossed it  back to the Nazi agent ("Strike three an’ yer a goat!") [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Captain Boomerang (George "Digger" Harkness) - Figurehead for a "toy boomerang" promotion, Australian-born Harkness turned his marketing persona into a criminal identity, using trick boomerangs to carry out his crimes. He fought The Flash repeatedly, and was involved in the Belle-Reve riots. He has since been freed and has returned to Australia. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Captain Britain (Real Name: Unknown) - Great Britain’s answer to Captain America. Wielding a power-staff, the British super soldier died destroying The Red Skull at the end of World War II. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Captain Cold (Leonard Snart)

Using stolen molecular-accelerator technology, Snart created a freeze-gun, committing crimes as Captain Cold. A frequent enemy of The Flash, Snart was in Belle-Reve serving five concurrent life-sentences on multiple murder convictions. He was involved in the Belle-Reve riots. Recruited in the waning days of Legion's reign to help fight the real JLA, he was was captured after The Battle For D.C. and returned to Belle-Reve. He, along with practically everyone else there, left during "The Great Escape." He reappeared in Metropolis and was quickly introduced to the Chill of The Netherworld, a cold he was unprepared for. He has now been returned to Belle-Reve. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Captain Minus (Dr. Carter Milhaus) - Research scientist turned reluctant superhero. An employee of Lexcorp, Captain Minus suffered a lab accident that fused the fingers of one hand into a fist. That fist can emit a powerful laser beam. His "superhero name" came about when Luthor told him, "If you’re going to wear the same street clothes as a superhero, you’ll have to come up with a name to go along with your initialed belt-buckle." The quickest "super-sounding" name Carter could think of to match "C.M." was "Captain Minus". (Character created by Michael Ringenbach) ["Carter Milhaus" name and joke supplied by Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Carnage (Cletus Kasady/Dr. Miles Warren)
The nightmarish combination of a lethal symbiotic life form, the mind of a deranged serial killer and the body of Eddie Brock's  mentor, Dr. Miles Warren. Having been the originator of the research that eventually led to the creation of the Venom organism, The Patchwork Man recently decided to "perfect" the process (and test Eddie Brock to destruction) by imprinting the mind of psychopathic mass murderer Cletus Kasady onto a powerful new combat symbiote specifically designed to be a perfect killing machine. The Patchwork Man then introduced the symbiote into the bedroom of Eddie Brock's girlfriend, Gwen Stacey, late one night. When she awoke the next morning, the symbiote had completely bound itself to her and she had no idea of what now lived inside her. At first, the powerful, violent personality of Kasady could only take control when Stacey was asleep, but it wasn't long before the Kasady-symbiote became able to assert itself and fully manifest at will. Now dubbing itself Carnage, the murderous creature performed several bloody thrill-kills (including Stacey's own father, an NYPD police captain) which Stacey had no memory of. During The Patchwork Man's recent battle with the JLA and The Taskforce, Carnage kidnapped Mary Jane Watson and fought Venom to a standstill. Thanks, however, to the indirect assistance of Mentalon, Stacey was eventually able to momentarily fight off the symbiote's influence and force it into dormancy. After several months of hard work, Eddie Brock and his mentor and thesis advisor at ESU, Dr. Miles Warren, were able to sever the Carnage organism from Gwen Stacey and imprison it. Unfortunately, immediately following this, Dr. Warren attempted to kill Eddie Brock out of his obsessive love for Gwen Stacey. During the subsequent battle and explosion caused by Gwen Stacey, the Carnage symbiote escaped its cage and found Dr. Warren, who had been thrown free of the explosion. United by their murderous hatred of Eddie Brock and especially Gwen Stacey (who had violently spurned them both), Warren eagerly became Carnage's new host. Fueled by Dr. Warren's brilliance and rage at being rejected, and Carnage's pure psychopathic malevolence, there is no telling the magnitude of the threat this creature now poses to society. The recent and exceedingly brutal murders of several couples in Central Park may be just the beginning of a truly chilling killing spree.  (See also Blaze [Gwen Stacey] and Dr. Miles Warren) [Ted Brengle]

Catman - Click name for full entry. [Aaron Einhorn]

Catwoman (Selina Kyle)

A disgruntled executive secretary, Selina Kyle donned the Catwoman identity to bring down greedy store-chain owner Max Shreck. Once a member of the JLA, she still insists on running afoul of the law on occasion. While Catwoman recently assisted the Justice League in the battle with Legion, she has also resumed her on-again/off-again career as a jewel thief. (Character created by Tammy Schwab) [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

The Centipede (Real Name: Unknown)

Mysterious hispanic crimelord of Los Angeles. The Centipede wears a dark green suit and a dark green hood with a pale green centipede embroidered vertically over the front, running between the eyeholes. "Hits" by The Centipede’s men are readily identified by the green rubber centipede left on the victim’s body. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Mikhail Chambers - A New York city slum lord who lives and operates on the east side.  A Russian immigrant, he has not accomplished much more than owning a few blocks of poor housing and taking money from other poor immigrants.  He has no known ties with any crime families. He is married, but has no children. [Chad Wilson]

Clayface AKA Poopyman (Matt Hagan)

In 1948, Matt Hagan was a contract player at Warner Bros. and was contending with another actor named Jim Sommers for a breakout role in a major motion picture. Hagan killed Sommers to eliminate the competition, but hadn't figured on the presence of the Joker, who was in town to negotiate a movie based on his adventures. Those talks fell through (for obvious reasons) but the Joker was still able to identify Hagan as Sommers' murderer, despite Hagan's cunning skill at disguise. Using that skill, Hagan was able to flee L.A. and disappear, but his reputation and career were destroyed. Naturally, he blamed the Joker and hungered for revenge. In late 1953, he was found by the Patchwork Man, who used his improved "Anointing" process on him. Hagan was transformed into a hulking, vaguely humanoid mound of an orange clay-like substance which could change shape at will. Using these new shape-shifting powers, Clayface enthusiastically took part in the Patchwork Man's campaign of terrorism on March 13, 1954, kidnapping Harley Quinn and framing Spider Man for bank robbery and murder. Clayface was presumed dead after he lost a battle with The Amazing Ghost Fighter^TM later that night. He eventually regenerated, however, and was recruited by Legion's forces to assist in ruining the good name of the Justice League. As one of Legion's prime agents, Clayface was largely responsible for driving Adrian Veidt underground and achieved true infamy as the impostor Captain America. Hagan died during the The Battle For D.C. at the hands of The Crimson Fury after The Joker removed Hagan's powers. [Ted Brengle]

Cockroach-Man (Rick Mallott) - "Meta Avenger" with immense strength, resistance to damage, four arms, gossamer gliding wings and the ability to expectorate large streams of corrosive sludge. He is the kid brother of Equinox. He is currently confined in the new ‘Juvenile’ wing of Belle-Reve.  [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

John Constantine

Acerbic, sarcastic, chain-smoking, Cockney occultist who is currently aiding (after a fashion) the Amazing Ghost Fighter on his "Vision Quest." Reluctantly filling-in as AGF's guide at the behest of "a mutual acquaintance," Constantine, himself, remains an often-abrasive mystery.  Aside from several off-hand comments that hint Constantine might originate from several decades in the future, almost nothing is known about him. One gets the impression that Constantine prefers it that way. Despite his secrecy, however, it has recently been revealed that Constantine is connected to (and very well might be the trainer/advisor, or "Watcher," of) a possible Vampire Slayer named Faith, also from the future. As the situation only gets more complex--and he gets more irritable --Constantine has now apparently set off on his own to face Windom Earle in a effort to give the Amazing Ghost Fighter time to play his destined role in the imminent confrontation with The Patchwork Man. [Ted Brengle]

Everett Cream - Former british intelligence agent turned assassin, Cream possesses several metahuman abilities that make him especially proficient at his chosen profession, including the ability to turn insubstantial and the fact that his gun fires what are apparently literal magic bullets. His first failed contract was the hit on Dr.Victor Von Doom, which was prevented by the JLA. Cream, however, escaped capture and remains at large. [Ted Brengle]

The Creeper / Solomon Grundy - Hulking, super-strong, back-breaking henchman of The Embalmer, The Creeper found Belle-Reve a nice place to live. He killed The Trickster in prison, and escaped during the Belle-Reve riots, drowning during the attempt to wade the bayou. Years later, the mysterious "Green Glob" brought him back to life as a zombie-like monster. He was "adopted" by Nathaniel Dusk, who named him "Solomon Grundy" (since they met on Monday). As part of Labyrinth, Grundy faced off against Stonewall, and was killed in the Yukon mine cave-in. The corpse was cremated. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Crimson Dynamo
Soviet powered-armor hero and international operative, the Crimson Dynamo was designed by the scientists who created the German Berserkers powered-armor corps during World War II.  Thus far, the Crimson Dynamo armor has proved an unqualified success, both militarily and as a propaganda weapon. It was suspected for years by Western intelligence that "The Hero Of The Proletariat" was actually several different men and that at least six distinct sets of Crimson Dynamo armor existed, some used by the Red Army and some by the KGB. This theory has since been borne out by the on-going Soviet civil war, where almost every faction has fielded Crimson Dynamos against their enemies. [Ted Brengle]

Crimson Fury - Click name for full entry. [Tom "Niko" Bolenbaugh]

The Crimson Ghost (Prof. Edgar Parker)
Mad technologist Dr. Edgar Parker was obsessed with world domination. Creating a special astral-projection machine, he created an ego-extension called "The Crimson Ghost": a red-robed, skull faced phantom. This entity could permeate and control any artificial body capable of controlled movement (articulated mannequins).  Parker also created the Nullifier: a radiating energy-field device that pinpointed the nature of super-abilities and countered them. The first super villain ever to face the Justice Society of America, he designed a device called an Atomic Cyclotrode, which could neutralize, and even fuse, engines and power-generators. He had a small working model and was creating a larger version when his plans were thwarted. His greatest coup was to be named warden of the new Belle-Reve Federal Penitentiary years later. This allowed him to experiment in a secured environment, and to recruit super "hired muscle" from among the growing number of inmates. The Justice Society learned of this and stopped Parker during the Belle-Reve riots (his specially-engineered "abuse" virus turned the guards into rampaging monsters). Chief henchmen Ash and Barnes were killed, and Archie Goodwin’s attempt to disable the astral-projector caused the death of Parker’s body, condemning him to forever live as The Crimson Ghost projection. Parker’s partner in creating the horrible virus was inmate Dr. Gustav Niemann, who would consequently be shot and killed by The Gecko. Parker’s genetic experiments produced several mutant animals, most of  which had died by 1954. Survivors included Mighty Fly, Pinky & The Brain, and Hiram the tortise. Later given a hulklike body by the Patchwork Man, and the opportunity to seek vengeance against Archie Goodwin, Parker was defeated by the new Justice League, and apparently destroyed by a bolt from The Amazing Ghost Fighter’s "ghost bow." Unfortunately, this perceived "death" was not permanent and he returned a year later, taking on a new name: Dr. Bedlam. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Cyclops (Scott Summers) - One of Prof. Xavier’s earliest students, Scott can project a powerful force blast from his eyes. (Character adapted by Danny Ross) [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

D
"Daniel" (Real Name: Unknown) - Murderous, hunchbacked assistant of Dr. Gustav Niemann. Currently imprisoned on Riker’s Island. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Dante - Click name for full entry. [Jonn Baca]

Daredevil - Click name for full entry. [Chad Wilson]

Darkman - Click Name for full entry. [Ted Brengle]

Darkseid

Diabolical ruler of the dark world called Apokolips. He is rumored to have aided Hitler during W.W.II and has served as a force for incalculable evil throughout the cosmos. He was the principle architect of the recently ended Fourth Galactic War, expertly exploiting the greed and existing rivalries of many of the larger empires to create unprecedented carnage. This, in turn, spread the forces of his enemy, New Genesis, even more thinly, allowing him the opportunity to realize his real goal: Finally confront New Genesis directly and attempt to access the elemental power of The Source. Darkseid's monumental hubris ultimately resulted in the destruction of both Apokolips and New Genesis, as well as his own eternal imprisonment within the wall of The Source, itself.  [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Phineas Delaw - Mousy government accountant who assists Henry Peter Gyrich in his duties as liaison to the JLA.   Phineas is somewhat annoying, somewhat star-struck, and about as bland as humanly possible. [Tom "Niko" Bolenbaugh]

DemoGoblin
Invoked by Murder Legendre for The Patchwork Man as a "gift" for Green Goblin II (because "he had so much fun killing him the first time"), the damned soul of the Hobgoblin was ripped from Hell and given a physical form truly fitting his twisted and grotesque nature. A true goblin at last, the DemoGoblin was a hideous, powerful, undead monstrosity that thirsted only for revenge against Green Goblin II. However, whether supported by science or magic, the DemoGoblin was still no match for Green Goblin II, and was again defeated, his spirit consigned back into the pit--one hopes permanently this time. (See Hobgoblin) [Ted Brengle]

Harvey Dent

Popular District Attorney of Gotham City once dubbed "Apollo" by the tabloids for his good looks. He was horribly burned on exactly 50% of his body by the Patchwork Man, but Dent quickly rebounded from this tragedy and now wages his war on crime through the courts with renewed vigor. Attempts at plastic surgery to repair the horrific damage caused by the Patchwork Man have thus far been unsuccessful, but Dent refuses to be ruled by his disfigurement. He and his wife, Grace, are now the proud parents of a baby boy, Jack. He has recently revealed to The Joker that he is in fact the mysterious vigilante known as The Judge. The Joker was not exactly surprised. [Ted Brengle]

Derailer (Mick Chandler) - "Meta Avenger" with the ability to generate intense magnetic power (though not nearly as powerful as Magneto). He is currently confined in the new ‘Juvenile’ wing of Belle-Reve. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Great DeSaad - Darkseid’s personal torture expert and the creator of Genni-Cide. Green Lantern agents have recently uncovered clear evidence that DeSaad escaped the destruction of Apokolips and was instrumental in both helping to arrange the K'Te's deception of the Warpsmiths and in corrupting the Green Lantern Sinestro. His present whereabouts are unknown, although the Warpsmiths continue to scour his former haven in K'te space for clues. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Devil-Mite

An impish, magical being from the "30th dimension" (also the home of Mr. Mxysptlk), Devil-Mite is Daredevil's greatest fan, and wants to be his sidekick.  A naive disaster waiting to happen, Devil-Mite sees crimefighting as fun, and wants to accentuate that fun any way he can.  Daredevil kept him busy looking for Mirror Master, and the result was Devil-Mite apprehending an innocent mirror store owner.  He later attacked Porcupine II with amusing ineffectuality.  Devil-Mite fled in terror when Nathaniel Dusk appeared.  Will he be back? Am I asking a silly question? [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

D'Ken - Megalomaniac former emperor of the Shi'Ar. D'Ken unwisely aligned himself with the forces of Apokolips and dragged his people headfirst into the Fourth Galactic War, causing vast devastation before his sister, Lilandra, arranged the coup that overthrew him. D'Ken escaped, with the aid of the Green Lantern traitor, Sinestro, and was able to take his court (and much of the royal treasury) with him. He later aided efforts to create a safe haven for war criminals like himself in K'te space, but this plan eventually fell apart, and D'Ken only barely eluded capture by the Warpsmiths. Accompanied by the remnants of his Imperial Guard and a court of sycophants, D'Ken now leads a shadow existence, living as a fugitive and describing his inevitable return to the throne of the Shi'Ar in increasingly messianic terms. Recorded messages from D'Ken exhorting the Shi'Ar citizenry to rise up against his sister, "the aliens' whore," are beamed into the empire weekly. [Ted Brengle]

Ellen Dolan

Daughter of Central City police commissioner James Dolan. Ellen is in love with The Spirit, though he energetically avoids the possibility of marriage. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

James Dolan

Police commissioner of Central City. Chief ally of The Spirit. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

**Domino Chance (Donna May Chan)

The Puzzler’s partner and primary operative, Domino Chance is a 'Parkour style' acrobat and martial artist, who has long had the front of being Mei-Li Wong, a respected importer of Asian goods, her shop being located at the docks. She, along with The Puzzler, vanished along with a considerable stash of gold after a recent crime spree through Gotham. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

The Mighty Donar - When SS mystics and scientists created Krystalnacht, they had to invoke the entirety of the "Teutonic mass-consciousness", then "peel away" the more noble "Siegfried hero" elements to reach the darker, anger-driven "Loki" elements. The nobler spiritual elements they instilled into a heavy, double-bitted axe, then placed it in stasis in a special case. The case passed hands, and was taken out of Germany by Ferik Jaggar in his attempt to escape to Japan. After freeing Krystalnacht, Jaggar’s agent placed the case into the lower part of the White House cornerstone rubble, hoping the repair crews would permanently entomb the artifact when repairing the White House. Workmen found the artifact, and NoMan was sent to examine it. Upon opening the case, the axe rose, and was seen to be held by an awe-inspiring being who resembled the archtype of a Norse Viking god. Seemingly driven to do noble deeds involving combat, Donar was immediately inducted into the JLA. Insubstantial, except for the axe, Donar can "fake" solidity by cleverly employing psychokinesis in concert with his physical-image’s actions. (Character created by Mike Chambers) [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Michael Donovan - Former head of the Donovan syndicate, an arms smuggling operation under the Kingpin’s overall control. Michael Donovan was one of the Shadow Master’s pawns who, with the help of the Blueblood, hired a small army of criminals and two supervillains, Hardware and Bombshell, to act as muscle in his bid to topple the Kingpin.  He also forged an alliance with the Triad mob, the Yellow Dragon Society, to jointly carry on this war.  When the Shadow Master’s plot fell apart, the Kingpin had Bullseye kill Donovan and the other heads of his syndicate, effectively wiping the organization out. [Tom "Nico" Bolenbaugh]

The Dragon (Johnny Storm)
Incompetent auto mechanic and life-long Yancy Street punk Johnny Storm had gone to jail (along with friend Ben Grimm) for a singularly imbecilic bank heist planned by his friend and brother-in-law James Sorski over a late night poker game. Johnny refused to testify against Sorski, however, and spent three years in jail before being paroled. A womanizer and braggart, he came up with the name "The Fearsome Foursome" after he, Grimm, sister Sue and James were all exposed to a cosmic ray-soaked meteor, granting them all strange metahuman powers--Johnny, for example, could now breath fire. With visions of money, fast women and faster cars dancing in his head, Johnny threw himself into the new role of super villain with true gusto. The fun & games ended, however, when his childhood friend Ben Grimm and sister Sue died at the hands of metahuman "hero" Epsilon. While he was incarcerated at Belle-Reve, guards reported that Storm hardly ever spoke and that a brittle darkness seemed to burn behind his blue eyes. Legion attempted to harness this anger for his cause, recruiting Storm to join his squad of metahuman enforcers. Storm, while bitter, was not like the evil or completely amoral wretches he was forced to work with, however, and quickly had a change of heart. He eventually rebelled and fought alongside the Justice League during the battle for Washington D.C. Storm is currently being held in the minimum security wing at Belle-Reve and looks forward to someday being reunited with his recently resurrected sister, Sue, and friend, Ben. (See also: Jimmy Shortround, Emerald Web, Thud and The Fearsome Foursome.) [Ted Brengle]

The Dragon King (Real Name: Unknown) - Japanese agent and occultist who harnessed the power of the Spear of Destiny for the Axis. He was killed in a climactic battle with The Invisible Agent. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Dragon Woman (Lidia Groves) - Half woman and half dragon, Lidia is 7 feet tall with green scales and a tail. She can also breathe fire.  She is very proficient in combat, although her first encounter with the JLA and Fugue did not show her potential. (Chad Wilson)

John Drake

The Amazing Ghost Fighter's contact with the shadowy Taskforce. A high ranking agent in a special unit within British Intelligence, it was later revealed he helped form The Taskforce and served the group as #6, "The Spy." Drake is also a direct descendent of the Reverend Dr. Christopher Syn, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen's first Scarecrow.  [Ted Brengle]

Dr. Bedlam (formerly The Crimson Ghost) - Believed destroyed by Amazing Ghost Fighter’s ghost bow, The Crimson Ghost drifted in limbo, where he was found by Darkseid. Recruited by Apokolips, he was renamed “Dr. Bedlam” by Darkseid. Through Darkseid, Parker gained a new material body and a new power: The ability to conjure fearful illusions in the minds of others. He escaped the destruction of Apokolips and assisted DeSaad in his efforts on behalf of the K'te. Dr. Bedlam was trapped for some time within the Phantom (or Negative) Zone after his attempt to imprison the Green Lantern Prime there backfired badly. He was accidentally released by Lex Luthor when Luthor opened a gate to the Phantom Zone to free Ubermann. His current whereabouts are unknown. (See also The Crimson Ghost) [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Dr. Destiny (Real Name: Unknown)

Skeletal, frail master of dreams who could create "realities" at will. He first appeared with The Mad Hatter (Jervis Tetch), creating a "Wonderland/Looking Glass" world in which Tetch could challenge the Justice Society. Imprisoned at Belle-Reve, Dr. Destiny survived the riots by turning any attacking mutants into puppies. Dr. Destiny’s "dreams" ended when he tried to disrupt The Joker & Harley Quinn’s wedding with "dreamed-up" super villains (King Candy; Super Stinker; Acid Nose; Fin-Fang-Foom; etc.). The Phantom Stranger banded with the "mystical" JLA heroes to sent the psychic energies back to the source, resulting in Dr. Destiny’s death by shock. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Dr. Victor Von Doom - Click name for full entry. [Ted Brengle]

Dr. Ghoul (Philip Graves)

Former TV monster-movie host gone mad, Dr. Ghoul dresses like Mooney the vampire ("London After Midnight") and believes he's a true "monster king". His henchmen all dress like classic movie monsters. His crimes always have an irrational, monster/horror theme. His wildest moment was to make The Amazing Ghost Fighter "sweat" using a death-device created by Eival Ekdall. Captured by The Amazing Ghost Fighter, he was safely kept in Arkham Asylum until all the inmates were released in "The Great Escape." He was next encountered in Metropolis in the company of The Mad Hatter and quickly taken back into custody. He has since been returned to Arkham. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Dr. Occult - Click name for full entry. [Aaron Einhorn]

Dr. Phosphorus (See Supernova) [Tom "Niko" Bolenbaugh]

The Druid (Real Name: Unknown) - Mysterious German agent who was involved in the "Innsmouth Experiments". Committed suicide via cyanide capsule on the way to Belle-Reve. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Nathaniel Dusk - Not-quite-human sorcerer and "global-domination" freak who created "Labyrinth", a loose confederation of metahuman villains. His favorite death weapons are his killer-spheres. When first encountered, Dusk and Labyrinth attempted to strong-arm the world by threatening to blow up the planet using a laser and a fat-man A-bomb (drilling to the earth’s core with the laser and letting the A-bomb create a chain-reaction). Dusk was only apparently killed in the Yukon when Daredevil dodged a killer sphere, causing it to attack Dusk himself. No body was ever found in the mine wreckage and Dusk has now reemerged at the head of a newly revitalized version of Labyrinth. His latest scheme, involving the attempted usurping of Kingpin's criminal empire and the "sale" of mind-controlled members of the JLA to other crime bosses, was only barely defused by the Justice League. Dusk (along with several of his underlings) escaped capure, however, and is believed to be plotting Labyrinth's next move even now. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Dynamo (Len Brown) - A minor government agent, Len Brown was chosen by T.H.U.N.D.E.R. to use the Thunder Belt, under the code-name “Dynamo.” The belt increased Brown’s molecular density, making him stronger and “nigh-invulnerable”. Its limitation was that it could be switched on for only 30 minutes at a stretch, lest Brown suffer a heart-attack from the bodily strain. He was the first agent to battle the Warlords, and drew the ill-fated romatic interest of The Iron Maiden. Brown was killed during the Patchwork Man’s attack on T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Later, the Thunder Belt was obtained by the Warlords, who fused it to an android clone of Dynamo as a weapon against NoMan. Both the android and the belt were apparently destroyed. (See also T.H.U.N.D.E.R.) [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

E
Windom Earle

"Once upon a time, there was a place of great goodness, called the White Lodge. Gentle fawns gamboled there amidst happy, laughing spirits. The sounds of innocence and joy filled the air. And when it rained, it rained sweet nectar that infused one's heart with a desire to live life in truth and beauty. Generally speaking, a ghastly place, reeking of virtue's sour smell. Engorged with the whispered prayers of kneeling mothers, mewling newborns, and fools, young and old, compelled to do good without reason. But I am happy to point out that our story does not end in this wretched place of saccharine excess. For there's another place, its opposite: a place of almost unimaginable power, chock full of dark forces and vicious secrets. No prayers dare enter this frightful maw. Spirits there care not for good deeds or priestly invocations; they are as likely to rip the flesh from your bones as greet you with a happy 'Good day!' And if harnessed, these spirits in this hidden land of unmuffled screams and broken hearts would offer up a power so vast that its bearer might reorder the earth itself--to his liking! Now! This place I speak of--is known as the Black Lodge. And I intend to find it." - Excerpt from therapy session transcript; Arkham Asylum, November 13th, 1953. (Dialogue by Mark Frost and Harley Peyton) [Ted Brengle]

*Eival Ekdall - Called "the mad Albanian genius" by the underworld, Ekdall started as a technologist serving the occupying Nazis in Albania.  After the war, Ekdall came to America and started a racket of devising special crime devices and deathtraps for whoever would pay.  His gadgets have included The Inescapable Doom Trap (Detective comics #114), a hot- box with a hidden bomb designed to trap and kill The Joker and Harley Quinn, a "dead-man switch" murder device Dr. Ghoul used to strong-arm The Amazing Ghost Fighter, and The Penguin's giant mechanical "ultra-penguin."  Ekdall has also provided deadly gadgets during the recent Mob War in New York, and some sources claim he is now also a member of the newly re-formed Labyrinth. His handiwork was last seen furthering the plots of The Puzzler. All of Ekdall's devices have "E.E." stamped somewhere on them. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Electro (Matthew Dillon)
Former line technician who discovered he could safely absorb and discharge tremendous amounts of dynamic electricity. A deadly criminal adversary, he battled both Spider-Man and Daredevil. Secretly pardoned from Belle-Reve during the Legion Crisis, Dillion was given a facelift and reforged by Legion's government P.R. machine as "Kid Edison," making him a member of Legion's evil Justice League mockery in the process. Dillon was able to slip away during the chaos following Legion's defeat and was later sighted in Gotham City, where he had some other refugees from the faux-Justice League were trying to take over the criminal rackets. While there, Dillon abandoned the "Kid Edison" shtick--which he always hated--and returned to being Electro. After failing to make headway in Gotham, Electro signed on as a hired gun with Nathaniel Dusk's new Labyrinth. That was a mistake. Dillion was soon killed by his own team mate, Porcupine II, when Porcupine II flooded the room Dillon was in with nerve gas in his single-minded quest to see members of the JLA dead. Contrary to rumor, he was no relation to the late Roscoe Dillon (The Top). [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

ElectroGirl (Gwen Raiden) - Click name for full entry. [Brandon Keller]

Element Man (Robert Groves) - Robert is the youngest of the Supreme Pack, but his super power has the most potential for future development. He has the ability to create earth, water and wind. [Chad Wilson]

Dr. Logan Elm - Research psychologist turned corrupt villain turned squished guy. Found a way to utilize incredibly advanced technology to his benefit. The exact source of this ultra-tech is unknown. [Mike Chambers]

The Embalmer (Marcel DeLange) - Sculptor DeLange was the laughingstock of the art world. Embittered, he befriended the murderous Creeper, who began killing art critics for him. DeLange found a glowing meteorite, which he carved into a classical statue. The radiation mutated him, making him a skeletal being with translucent, oozing, amber-colored flesh. The ooze from his body could infect human flesh, petrifying it into a solid, amber-like substance. Now quite mad, DeLange began a campaign of kidnapping artists’ models and freezing them into classical statues. Captured by the Justice Society, he was sent to the "mental wing" of Belle-Reve, where he remained until "The Great Escape." He still sculpted while imprisoned; but the cleaned-up, "Dali-meets-Moore" neo-primitive, surrealist sculptures of "The Embalmer" now commanded high prices in the art world (all money from auctions going to charity). With his recent escape, that marketability might be changing in a variety of sinister ways. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Emerald Web (Sue Sorski [Storm])
Long-suffering wife to James Sorski and brother to Johnny Storm, Sue longed to leave her lousy Yancy Street past and move to New York and pursue a career in fashion design. Unfortunately, she became increasingly involved with her brother Johnny's shady friends, eventually marrying James Sorski, who promised her that he would someday make The Big Score and take her to New York "in style." She didn't believe him, but she did love him (for whatever reason) and stuck with him through all his lame-brained schemes. She hoped that the stories her brother Johnny and their friend Ben Grimm had of their time in jail would scare James straight. They might have, too, had it not been for the meteor that crashed into the Sorski's apartment during party celebrating Storm and Grimm's parole. Bathed in cosmic rays, Sue gained the ability to create a green, perception-distorting psionic energy field. She reluctantly joined Sorski, Storm and Grimm in becoming the Fearsome Foursome, but showed real enthusiasm only when designing the team's costumes. Sue, hindered by a conscious, was never cut out to be a super villain and eventually surrendered to the JLA, only to be later murdered by Epsilon for her trouble. Luckily, she got better. Resurrected under strange circumstances, she and Ben Grimm are currently staying with their newfound friend, Dr. Reed Richards, as they all try to unravel what exactly happened. Recently, her husband rather ostentatiously tried to make contact with her at the Baxter Building. This disastrous incident finally made Sue realize that she had to separate herself from James if she was ever going to get her own life in any kind of order, much less find any kind of sustainable happiness. (See also: Jimmy Shortround, The Dragon, Thud, Dr. Reed Richards and The Fearsome Foursome) [Ted Brengle]

Epsilon (David MacAllister) - The brother of The Amazing Ghost Fighter and a pawn of the evil Legion, it is unclear if the persona of Epsilon was concieved by MacAllister or was created by Legion after MacAllister was possessed. Clad in flowing golden robes and helmet, Epsilon could fly and hurl flaming tomyhawks at his enemies. The only information currently available concerning Epsilon's motives, past and powers are statements made by Legion while playing the role of hero and are, thus, worthless. MacAllister was subjected to over a dozen gunshot wounds before Legion fled his body, sending it into cardiac arrest in the process. Thanks to prompt medical treatment, MacAllister clings to life, but only barely. He remains in a coma and his prognosis is guarded at best. Although once charged with the murders of Ben Grimm and Sue Sorski, evidence has since been presented that he was possessed by Legion at the time and thus these charges have been dropped. Evidence recently gathered during Ghost Fighter's Vision Quest has led him to suspect that David's soul might have been stolen by AGF's mysterious new enemy Windom Earle. [Ted Brengle]

Equinox (Stewart Mallott) - Brother of Cockroach-Man, Equinox was the most powerful member of the "Meta Avengers."  The current caretaker of the Dark Force Dimension, Equinox was taught to use the dimension’s energy by a being called, Azimael. Azimael claimed to be a fallen angel who fled to the Dark Force Dimension rather than follow Lucifer into chaos. Equinox apparently earned Azimael ‘redemption’ by using his powers to quietly fight evil. ‘Killed’ twice by evil metahumans, Equinox discovered himself to be immortal and to be gifted with rapid regeneration.  Equinox can manipulate the Dark Force to suit his needs and creativity, even creating semi-autonomous ‘Dark Force Golems.’  Drafted into Magneto’s campaign to ‘gain fairness for metahumans,’ Equinox gradually saw the more dictatorial, elitist designs in Magneto’s plan. The last straw came when Magneto ordered the Meta Avengers to kill the New Metas. A thoroughly disillusioned Equinox retreated into his beloved Dark Force Dimension.  He has not yet decided if he will ever again intervene in the affairs of others; he is in no hurry to decide. He has all the time in the world.  [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

The Escapist - Click name for full entry. [Aaron Einhorn]

The Eschaton - With his mind completely twisted by the evil influence of Baron Blitzkrieg's mace, and his world view shattered by his defeat at the hands of the Justice League (The Mighty Donar in particular), the Reverend Nehemiah Scutter has become even more dangerously unbalanced. Now believing himself to be the catalyst for the events of Revelations, The Eschaton will stop at nothing to bring about the biblical Apocalypse. (See also Nehemiah Scutter, Baron Blitzkrieg and The Apostle) [Ted Brengle]

Ethos

Androgynous and profound "god-entity" who measures all moral-ethical issues. The Patchwork Man sent Red Knight to Ethos to learn of the futility of  "the battle between good and evil". Red Knight was a poor pupil. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Etrigan

A fierce demon from the very pits of Hell, Etrigan is a "Rhymer," a relatively high rank in the infernal legions, who speaks only in malicious verse and often serves as an enforcer for the various volatile forces that make up the hierarchy of Hell. Legend has it that Etrigan is the demon who served the famous human wizard Merlin ages ago (at various times, Etrigan has both disputed and encouraged this account). Etrigan is a liar, a thief, a murderer and a callous villain, but occasionally displays a strange kind of honor. Nevertheless, Etrigan's presence in mortal affairs can usually be taken as nothing less than the worst sign imaginable. Etrigan is currently rumored to have some sort of tie to the human occultist Jason Blood. It is widely suspected that whatever the details of their arrangement, Blood has probably, very literally, gotten much more than he bargained for. [Ted Brengle]

F
Faith
A cocky, amazingly talented hand-to-hand combatant who appears to originate from some time in the future, Faith also obviously has some sort of connection to the jaded magician John Constantine. Her use of the term "Watcher," coupled with her considerable physical prowess and distinctive fighting style, suggests that Faith might be a Vampire Slayer, one of a mystical line of female warriors tasked with defending humanity from demonic and undead forces. This line, however, was thought by occultists to have ended in the late 1800s. When recently encountered by the Amazing Ghost Fighter, Faith claimed she was in pursuit of someone who had traveled back into the 1950s from the future. The timing of her appearance (and Constantine's extreme reaction when told of it) suggested that her mission was somehow related to the coming war with The Patchwork Man, but who exactly Faith was chasing, and what threat they might have represented, was never discovered. Faith was actually persuing Willow Rosenberg, one of her best friends, after the future Justice League learned she had stolen Dr. Victon Von Doom's time machine in order to travel back in time to a pivotal moment in her mother's past --The First Patchwork Man War. With most of the official JLA's records of this incident intentionally vague (and others evidently tampered with--probably by Fugue), the JLA was understandably concerned about what Willow might do. Faith volunteered to find Willow in the past and ascertain if she was altering the past or simply playing her destined role in it. It soon became clear to Faith that it was the latter. She then wished to find John Constantine and assist his efforts to stall Windom Earle, but--under protest--she was instead returned to the future by Fugue as the JLA needed every member they could muster to counter The Network's attempt to annex Mars.

*False-Face (Real Name: Unknown) - Notorious master-of-disguise and quick-change-artist, False-Face pulls off grand thefts by deception. He is one of the most clever criminals known. He once escaped from Gotham’s Stonegate Penitentiary by impersonating the warden. His greatest coup, apart from joining Labyrinth, was to rapidly adopt the identity of The Joker during the Yukon mine fight. At first, it was assumed that False-Face, like everyone else, had left Belle-Reve during "The Great Escape," however an investigation sparked by a message from the Patchwork Man implicating False-Face in the murder of law student Peter Cross soon uncovered evidence that False-Face escaped *months* earlier and had left behind a disguised confederate in his place. He was recently encountered again as a founding member of the “Perfect Crime Club.” Captured by the Gotham Knights, he has been returned to Stonegate, where he is currently being questioned about the Cross murder. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Famine (Carlos Estaban) - Young punk who wanted to grow up to become a mob assassin (in specific, a poisoner). Instead he was "Anointed" by the Patchwork Man. Famine can cause his victims to experience the most acute feelings of hunger they've ever had while simultaneously increasing the level of nutrients their bodies need to survive. A victim of Famine can die of starvation in little over a minute, if he so wishes. Famine was taken into custody by agents of the NSA and proceeded to pop up several times to torment the JLA and spread terror during the Legion Crisis. He wasn't sighted again until he again appeared as a foot soldier of The Patchwork Man's during his recent climactic confrontation with the JLA and Taskforce. In the interim, he apparently learned how to join his power with that of his colleague Pestilence; the result was a terribly destructive entropic energy field that threatened the heart of New York, until it was shut down by Green Goblin II and Captain Marvel. Famine is currently being held in Belle-Reve while awaiting his murder trial which, as of the arraignment, included over 73 counts. [Ted Brengle]

Faust (Alexander Crawler) - A wealthy archeologist who teaches at a local university in Chicago during the day, Crawler  dedicated himself to fighting evil after his parents were killed by the Nazis at an archeological dig. Now an adult, Crawler avenges their memory as the masked vigalante/adventurer Faust, while also making a good living selling the rare artifacts he "recovers" from the criminals he faces. Faust was recently recruited into the Suicide Squad during its efforts to quell the gang war in Ashton City. [Dave Dotson]

Fenris (Tim Putterbaugh) - "Meta Avenger" with the ability to change his form to that of a powerful and fierce man-wolf. He abandoned Magneto, and his current whereabouts are unknown, though Wolverine last saw him heading toward the Northwest. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

The Fifth Avenue Phantom (John Doe / Prof. Joseph Doakes) - Joseph Doakes was (or will be) a minor R&D scientist for Scientech, a technology firm in the 23rd century Mega City I. Scientech was involved in government-sponsored time-rift technology, and Doakes decided to illegally use the machinery to transport himself to the early-mid 20th century, where his futuristic scientific knowledge could be used to commit "perfect" crimes. Doakes created mannequin-shaped droids with built-in shrinking rays. The "mannequins" would be sold to major department stores, and after hours the droids would shrink merchandise, put it in their purses, and leave the stores to deliver the goods to Doakes. By morning the droids would be back in their store windows. Doakes wore a simple "mystery man" garb in case a snooper spotted him receiving goods in his warehouse hideout. The Fifth Avenue Phantom, as he was dubbed by the press, was finally apprehended by the JSA and sent to Riker’s Island. He was later transferred to the new Belle-Reve facility. Doakes said his name was "John Doe" and, while admitting to be a time-traveler, claimed to be merely a janitor who had stolen the technology.  The Crimson Ghost found out the truth, and had Doakes help him in his secret world-conquest bid. The security system at Belle-Reve was "futurized" by Doakes. During the Belle-Reve riots, Doakes quickly sided with the heroes, attempting to show them the way to the control area. He was attacked and killed by a flying security drone. Moments later, two Mega City Judges (Judge Ian; Judge Bruenor) arrived to arrest Doakes (their time co-ordinates were a little "off" from Doakes original destination-time by a few years). The judges fell victim to the "abuse virus", and had to be killed. [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

Col. Samuel Ulysses Flagg - Obnoxious, arrogant and paranoid Army Intelligence nit-wit involved with the CIA, NSA and the sinister Sunderland Corporation. Currently in government custody pending a formal investigation of alleged CIA black budget Heroin smuggling. [Ted Brengle]

The Flash (Barry Allen)

The "Scarlet Speedster" was police chemist Barry Allen, who suffered a lab accident involving mixed chemicals and a bolt of lightning in 1940. Gaining incredible speed and the ability to vibrate his molecules to pass through solid objects, The Flash fought crime in Central City, sending many a metahuman villain to the slammer. The Flash was killed in 1950 disposing of an "atomic grenade" The Top was using in an attempt to destroy the world (the weird explosive had been supplied by Darkseid, who promised to take The Top to Apokolips). Imprisoned inside the giant, spinning grenade, The Flash was unable to vibrate out due to an energy field. The grenade was due to explode when it slowed to a halt, so The Flash ran the internal circumference of the device to speed it up and create enough inertia to launch it out of Earth’s atmosphere, where it exploded. Darkseid killed The Top for failure, and New Genesis then claimed Earth as a "protectorate" to prevent Darkseid from destroying it. (Character created by Chad Wilson) [Steve "Sanson" Mollett]

The Fox (Michael Messenger)

Michael was given his powers by the archangel Michael and charged with the duty of defending the weak and punishing the wicked of the world.  He dresses like his hero Zorro and wields a sword and whip.  Michael has a past he prefers not to discuss, instead changing the subject to more jovial matters.  He has exhibited enhanced strength and dexterity, along with a supernatural swordsmanship. By day, Michael works at the Metropolis City Hall, Department of Records.  He disguises his attractive appearance by wearing a pair of glasses, ruffling up his hair and changing his voice to sound dull and uninteresting. [Chad Wilson]

Fugue (Theresa Clark) - This former Physics student at MIT has recently discovered several strange abilities to perceive and manipulate time, these powers apparently having been awoken by a near-miss auto accident. She has since turned to Dr. Foster Forest (Supernova) looking for help in dealing with the changes these powers have already brought to her life and personality. While she is a member of the JLA, she treats it with weary resignation, as if this duty was somehow mandatory. Clark sometimes behaves quite erratically, as if following a plan that only she can see. On occasion she has refused to take part in some missions, while going out of her way to put herself in the center of other, less important ones. She often speaks cryptically and has problems using the right verb tense.  [Ted Brengle]

Nick Fury
During World War II, Sgt. Nick Fury was the head of an elite strike team called the "Howling Commandoes" that belonged to the same special section of Army Intelligence that also included Major Lex Luthor and Captain America. The Howling Commandoes unit was spectacularly effective in many conventional and clandestine missions throughout Europe, highlighting Fury's considerable gifts as both a leader and tactician. Fury eventually received just about every medal and commendation possible, including a congressional medal of honor. After the war, Fury was promoted to colonel and more deeply involved himself in intelligence work, becoming both a highly regarded agent and administrator. During the Legion Crisis, he resigned his commission as he could no longer work for the sinister new government, nor could he work against it in good conscious while wearing its uniform. Instead he operated from the shadows and used his considerable contacts and influence worldwide to marshall forces against the illegal government and was invaluable in helping to mount the final assault on D.C. After that, his commission was reactivated by Ike himself and he was put to work helping the U.S. government clean house, ridding it of Legion and Sunderland Corporation loyalists. It has recently been learned, however, that Fury has also been part of the super-secret Taskforce from the very beginning, serving as #10, "The Soldier." With a considerable and potent worldwide network in place, there have been some indications for over a year that The Taskforce may be thinking about broadening its mandate into some sort of global intelligence and defense initiative, and Nick Fury is rumored to be heavily involved in this. In the wake of the defeat of The Patchwork Man, it is probable that this process will continue. When discussing this possibility, government heads and intelligence agencies speak cryptically and keep using the word  "Shield." (See also S.H.I.E.L.D) [Ted Brengle]
