The picture or the character idea? Either one is fine by me, but I was wondering which.
Character idea. It answered a question I didn't know I needed to ask.

Real Name: Natalie Evans
Height: 5’3"
Weight: Unknown
Hair: Black
Eye Color: Blue


Complications:
Motivation ~Power To The Machines!: Technus seeks to liberate all machines from "the oppression of humanity”, no matter what steps she has to take.

Prejudice: Alpha Criminal.

Power Loss: Technus has focused most of her powers into her Tech Scythe, so if it is taken from her she cannot use her Technology Control Array.


Background: Natalie Evans gained technopathic powers when her Alpha abilities manifested, but was traumatized by the experience. Now viewing herself as a prophet for machines Natalie seeks to free them from “the oppression of humanity” so that machines can live as free as they want (which in most cases means that they just keep doing whatever it is they’re programmed to do, but that’s another thing entirely). However, Natalie realizes that she needs money, and a lot of it, to fund her plans so she commits crimes to build up her capital. Thus, she will often work for others as well as commit crimes on her own.

Real Name: Redmond Reese
Height: 5'10"
Weight: Unknown
Hair: White
Eye Color: Blue


Complications:
Power Loss: Blackheath cannot cast any of his Corrupted Druidic Magic when he is unable to gesture & speak the verbal components of his spells.

Weakness: Blackheath is vulnerable to attacks from items made of silver.


Background: Redmond Reese was high ranking member of a druid sect who tried to rally his people against the invading Romans during the Gallic War, however his vicious usages of magic against the invaders only made his peers question Redmond’s dedication to their path. In the end Redmond attempted a violent coup only to fail and be cursed by the other druids to “sleep until he stood among the clouds so that the Moon shone upon him unhindered.” The manifestation of that curse was that Redmond was turn to stone and his former friends sealed his petrified body in a cave, where Redmond stayed until modern times.

In 1997 a party hosted by the New York Museum of History and held at a skyscraper penthouse featured parts of a display about Celtic mythology, which ironically enough included the petrified Redmond. During the party, the conditions of breaking Redmond’s curse were met and the druid was returned to flesh and blood. Needless to say, Redmond was not happy about what had happened to him and promptly showed his displeasure by using his magic on those in attendance thinking that they were descendants of his jailers celebrating what had been done to him.

Luckily enough the heroes Blackstone I and Carapace were both in attendance in their civilian identities, and following a quick change of attire, both opposed Redmond’s rampage. However, while the pair of heroes were able to prevent the time-lost druid from seriously harming the party goers, they were unable to prevent him from escaping from the scene.

It took Redmond several weeks to better understand what had happened to him but now that he does he feels that his spiritual patrons deemed it his mission to save this sad, lost, modern world from itself by ushering in a return to the “old ways” of his time. Now known as the super villain Blackheath, Redmond seeks to destroy all of modern technology and bring back the mystical ways of his druidic sect, with him leading them of course.

Real Name: Suki Aoki
Height: 5’1”
Weight: 103 lbs
Hair: Black
Eye Color: Brown


Complications:
Curse Of The Sword: Black Dragon must use her Weaken Stamina power every couple of days to get enough nourishment or else she’ll start to suffer from starvation.

Hunted: Black Dragon's former masters in the Black Lotus Society seek to make her pay for a past failure of a mission they gave to her.

Motivation ~Money: Black Dragon seeks to amass as much wealth as she possibly can.

Reputation ~Mercenary: Black Dragon will work for anyone who can pay her the fee she demands.


Background: A mid-level assassin for the Black Lotus Society, Suki Aoki had spent months getting close to her mark (a Russian mobster who'd been trying to build connections in China for his criminal organization) just so she could kill him. On the night she tried the poison she dripped down a thread onto the older man’s lips was stopped by some unseen force and the Russian woke up obviously very angry and somehow wielding a broadsword.

The following fight was difficult, as Suki only had a dagger but she managed to win. Then she heard a voice call to her, telling her to take up the dead man's sword for she had earned it. Hearing the foot-falls of the Russian's guards and realizing she needed a better weapon than just her dagger, Suki did as the voice said. Instantly she was clad in modernized armor and the broadsword had somehow transformed into a katana, a weapon she was much more familiar with. When the gangsters kicked in the door they weren't ready for an Alpha assassin armed with a magical weapon, and Suki made short work of them then made her escape.

Unfortunately, her masters in the Black Lotus Society were extremely unhappy with her for killing the Russian mobster in such an obvious fashion and sent other members to kill her for her failure. Thankfully Suki's possession of the Sword of Shadows has allowed her to stay alive and make her way to America where the Black Lotus Society had much less of an influence at the time and she can support herself by plying her criminal skill set, so far she's managed to do well for herself as well as keep her head attached.

Real Name: Caleb Kendrick
Height: 6’
Weight: 186 lbs
Hair: Blonde
Eye Color: Bright Blue


Complications:
Disability: Caleb has only one real arm (his left) without his Quicksilver arm.

Enemy: Blackrune.

Motivation ~Responsibility: Caleb feels that he should use his talents to the benefit of others.

Relationships: His parents (Hugh and Selene), siblings (brothers Valentine, Randall & Ellison and sisters Levicy & Roseanna), who disapprove of his activities, and his Uncle Tolbert (who crafted Caleb's Quicksilver arm and only supporter).


Background: The Kendrick family has long been involved in the mystical community despite their inability to actually cast spells. Instead they devoted their efforts to the field of artificing - creating magical items through ritual magic. It is a kind of magic not many mages specialize in given the time required to craft said items but the Kendrick’s willingness to take on such work for pay has allowed them to build an impressive fortune that allow the current generation of the family to devote their time solely to continuing the family's trade as well as expand upon it.

However, Caleb, the youngest member of the family, often found himself wondering why his family didn't used their skills to help others instead of just lining their pockets. It was a point of view that made him something of the black sheep among most of his kin, and during his teenaged years he set out to make the “right choice”. For years Caleb worked on a suit of armor that held many enchantments within it that would allow him to fight a variety of threats, though the process cost him his right arm when an accident occurred. While his parents viewed the accident as “a proper lesson for his foolishness” and hoped that Caleb would come to his senses and abandon his efforts, however, his mother's older brother, Tolbert, saw that Caleb was determined enough to continue despite his handicap and created a Quicksilver limb to replace the one Caleb lost (and as he grew with age, Tolbert made new ones to properly fit him) and shared a good deal of his own technical skills and experience with Caleb.

When Caleb turned eighteen, he moved in with Tolbert and continued to take work as an artificer, he also finalized a working suit version of his magical armor he put to use as the hero Carapace. Over the years since then, with Tolbert’s help, Caleb has established himself as a respected, if somewhat secretive, hero.

Eye Color: Brown


Complications:
Champion Of Quetzalcoatl: Sometimes mystical beings take issue with El Brujo because of his patron deity, other times he must do as the Feathered Serpent God commands.

Motivation ~Responsibility of Power: El Brujo feels that he needs to use his powers for the benefit of others.


Background: A historian and archeologist specializing in pre-Columbian societies, Ed Dorado discovered a way to contact the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl from a lost temple he'd been exploring. Judging Ed to be of strong moral character, Quetzalcoatl empowered him with several psychic abilities to use to protect the people of the land as the deity's champion.

After a period of being trained by Quetzalcoatl in the use of his powers, Ed set to becoming a hero to the Mexican people as EL Brujo (the Wizard). Now years later he often finds himself dealing with mystical threats, the various drug cartels, as well as dealing with the occasional threat from the Boca Tierra Caverns.

Real Name: Jonathon “Jon” Levins
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 160 lbs
Hair: Brown
Eye Color: Hazel


Complications:
Motivation ~Respect: Samhain is driven by a need to be respected by others, if he feels he's not getting his due then he will take steps to prove that he does deserve it.

Reputation: Samhain is known for being a difficult criminal to deal with, as he uses odd strategies that are the opposite of what one might normally expect from a supervillain.


Background: Jonathon “Jon” Levins grew up being raised by his single mother, who suffered from some unknown kind of mental illness and abused him many times over the years until he finally ran away from home when he was fourteen, eventually joining a circus. By the time Jon was nineteen he was a good acrobat but was a highly skilled contortionist and escape artist that was one of the circus’ main performers. At some point several members of the circus had begun pulling robberies, using their unique skills, at the towns the circus stopped at to perform and Jon was among them using his contortionist skills to break into the different business and let the others in.

Of course when the circus came to New York City, Janus happened to run across the circus crew while they were in the middle of pulling their latest robbery. He made short work of them until Jon faced off against the hero, managing to hold his own briefly due to his contortionist skills giving him a temporary advantage as his fellow circus crooks made their escape before he followed after them. But Janus managed to gather enough clues to point him in the right direction and the following night he went to where the circus had set up and joined the audience in watching the various acts, quickly picking out the members of the robbery crew from the performers.

After the circus closed for the night, Janus silently crept through the camp and managed to capture the majority of the circus crooks before any of them knew what was happening. Jon wasn’t one of them, in fact he’d spotted Janus and decided to cut his losses, heading for where the loot was stashed to take it all for himself and get away from there as quickly as possible. But right as Jon had finished loading up the Hawk found him and things quickly degenerated into a fight, with Jon thinking that this time would be like the last.

Jon hadn’t considered the idea that the Hawk was a very fast learner, and he dealt with him and in half the time of their previous fight, knocking him out cold then leaving him tied up along with his cohorts waiting for NYPD to come collect them. With all the evidence Janus had left it was an easy task for the DA to get the entire crew convicted and sent to prison for a few years, but Jon had come to a realization – he had challenged Janus and held his own. It was something of a milestone, despite his losing their next meeting, and Jon carefully analyzed his memories of that encounter so he could capitalize on it for the next time he would face the hero.

You see, Jon had a bit of mental issues himself, with his upbringing surely not helping any and he’d become fixated on proving that he could do whatever he set his mind to. It was one of the reasons he’d managed to become the showman he’d been in the circus – a single-minded drive and determination. It was simply a matter of learning what he needed to know, and the young criminal realized that he was in the perfect place to learn many of the skills he’d need to properly challenge the Hawk once he was out.

Jon perverted the prison’s concept of “bettering himself”, learning all that he could from all manner of criminal and crooks so that by the time he was paroled Jon had all the skills he needed to be a serious threat to someone of the Janus' caliber. The only thing he felt that he still needed was a gimmick. Something that set him apart from all the common thugs and goons that Janus regularly dealt with. It was in the last cold days of October that Jon finally came up with the identity he would take on for when he faced Janus. It was so simple it was brilliant.

With his idea firmly in mind Jon contacted the Workshop, a group of techincal experts who would work fir super villains for a price, about designing equipment for him built around the theme of his new criminal identity. Six months later Jon accepted a shipment of crates, loaded them onto the truck he’d stolen and drove to where he’d been slowly building his base of operations where he carefully unloaded his newly gained equipment and began to familiarize himself with all of it.

It was a month later when Samhain made his public debut, breaking into Odyssey Labs looking for something called an ARC reactor, the Technician had said that if Jon could bring that to him then he would cut his remaining balance in half (so if must have been valuable considering how much Jon still owed for his equipment). Breaking in had been a alight challenage, but his equipment had been working perfectly and he’d already taken care of the guards with no problem. By the time Janus had let his presence be known Jon had already stowed the item he’d been sent to collect into his bag-o-tricks and was on his way out.

But now here he was face to face with Janus again and he had no clue who Jon was or what he could do. This was exactly how he’d pictured it in his mind so many times and Jon, or rather Samhain, wasted no time in pulling out one of the pumpkin bombs as he introduced himself just before throwing the explosive at just the right angle so it was far enough away Janus couldn’t knock it away from himself, but he’d be caught in the worst of its blast radius. Or so Jon thought as he watched the other man calmly launch a grapple line and was pulled out of harm’s way just seconds before the bomb detonated. Jon recovered and kept on the defensive, throwing out more pumpkin bombs and even some bat-o-rangs to keep Janus further off balance. And it worked, he’d thought he was going after him but once Jon had cleared himself a path out he didn’t hesitate to use it, laughing all the way as he managed to escape Janus, taunting him the whole time.

This pattern of being unpredictable colored all of the following meetings between Samhain and Janus; when it looked like he should run, he fought. When it looked like he should fight, he ran. If he looked as if he was alone, suddenly the goons he’d brought alone sprung from their hiding places. And for a while it worked but then Janus adapted to Samhain’s style of crime and suddenly Jon found himself on the losing end of their exchanges, and even though he didn’t get whatever it was he’d come for he did manage to give the Hawk the slip, keeping his personal freedom.

Now, years later Jon has grown past his petty rivalry with Janus and now enjoys the notoriety he gained from his original showings against one of the best known heroes of the times and branched out into working in places like Capital City, Arcadia and New York. Mostly pulling crimes for himself but he’s been known from time to time to take part in a supervillain team-up if he thinks the hassles are worth the potential payoff.

Real Name: Stewart Robbins
Height: 5'10" (as Stewart) / 6'2" (as Falcon)
Weight: 218 lbs (as Stewart) / 178 lbs (as Falcon)
Hair: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Brown (as Stewart) / Hazel (as Falcon)


Complications:
Motivation ~Thrills: Falcon wants to live the life of action & adventure.

Power Loss: Flight-based powers if wings are restrained.

Reputation ~Ladies Man: Falcon was known for his ability to get any woman he wanted.

Secret: Falcon has always hid his Euphoric Stimulation power.

Transformation ~Falcon Form: By concentrating, Stewart is able to turn into Falcon. He can usually maintain that form for several hours before fatigue forces him to change back to his non-powered form.


Background: Stewart Robbins wasn’t a popular young man growing up, between his unfit physical build, and awkward social skills he was often the victim of pranks and bullying and unfortunately his graduation from high school brought virtually no change in those areas of Stewart’s life.

What did change it all for him was the manifestation of his Alpha powers.

Like many other people, Stewart found himself transformed, however, unlike so many other Alphas Stewart considered his transformation a blessing as he gained a picturesque physique as well as a pair of functional feather wings. Immediately understanding what this meant for his life, Stewart wasted no time in putting his abilities to use as a vigilante in the 1980s, taking on all kinds of dangers head on as the first Alpha hero for hire – the Falcon, often times romancing the various women he encountered during those times. For several years Stewart lived the high life of adventure and excitement he’d dreamt of until the first of several paternity cases were made against him. It seemed that many of the women he’d slept with had become pregnant and realized he was the father.

Needless to say the following court proceedings that revealed all of this ruined what little reputation the Falcon had (because honestly most of the other heroes of the time considered him to be less than reliable given his inclination to chase after attractive women at the drop of a hat and the general public thought very little of his grandstanding ego), especially when it was revealed that the winged man also possessed a mental ability he’d kept secret – one that let him stimulate the pleasure centers in people's brains, making them open to suggestion. This led to a series of rape accusations that were investigated by not only the NYPD, but also the Vanguard.

Under incredible amounts of stress from these events the Falcon disappeared from the public eye. You see, Stewart had shrewdly crafted the Falcon identity separate from his non-powered persona – everything from bank accounts to W9s, all forms of personal identification had been procured separately for the Falcon at the start of his career. While Stewart enjoyed living the high life as the Falcon he’d always made sure that his clients covered the majority of his expenses while he socked away an impressive nest egg. So once the public, and his perceived peers, turned against him Stewart simply transformed from his super-powered form one last time after emptying his bank accounts and returning to his mundane life, content to live off of his profits that would keep him free of the usual worries most people had to deal with. That is until he was diagnosed with AIDS, and quietly died a few years later in a health care facility that had taken the majority of Stewart’s personal funds to care for him.

Ironically very few members of the super hero community know of the connection between Stewart Robbins and the Falcon, though with the number of winged Alphas that have manifested in recent years there are those among the staff of the Vanguard Academy who are starting to put things together.

So Falcon is Peter Parker without the Great Power Comes Great Responsibility. You know, we make jokes about how Peter could have still used his powers and talents and made a very comfortable life without sacrificing all the diligent heroism we know him for, but then there's this picture about the other extreme.

It's nice to see that others see some of the "comic commentary" I sometimes try to weave into some of the characters I've made. Falcon (Stewart) is exactly the opposite of Spider-Man (Peter) in the way he used his powers, which I think, is how many people would use super powers if they were to gain them.

I realize it's not an original idea, I've seen it before in comics, but I wanted to include it because I find the subject interesting. Plus it allows me to into introduce as many winged characters (both heroic & not) as I wanted in this setting since I'm using the idea that powers are passed down from parent to child - so if Daddy's got eye beams then so does Junior. So I broke it down as to how there would be a large number of people with wings and then what kind of person would father so many children? I'm almost ashamed to admit that "picked on nerd who suddenly gains powers" was the first thought I had as an answer. My second thought was - well he's kind of like Peter Parker, just without Uncle Ben dying because of Peter's inaction and teaching the "Responsibility of Power".

Wouldn't Immunity to low pressure be more of an avian thing? Air gets thinner as one gets up, away from the surface. High pressure would be more of an aquatic thing.

You're likely correct, I was probably thinking something along the lines of "High altitude" & "Pressure". Hence, High Pressure. So a quick edit and it's fixed. Thanks.
