-Kate was a nosy reporter who surrepticiously followed around Dai Thomas in Knights of Pendragon until they realized their attraction to each other in a "Slap Slap Kiss" sort of way. She ended up empowered by Guinevere (who was a Queen, not a knight), and had to deal with her son Cam being manipulated by The Bane. She & Dai broke up off-panel (I wonder if Claremont called "dibs" on his character again), and she was Ben's lover after that, and quit the team when he died- Guinevere then empowered Breeze James. Kate reappears many years later in Revolutionary War, also by Dan Abnett, who re-hooks her up with Dai, who claims he's always loved her.

... well, she's been imagined as a Boudica-style warrior queen long before Keira Knightley, so ...

-Empowered by Guinevere (after Kate gave up the powers), Breeze was a reporter hired by MyS-TECH to spy on the team- she was said to work for the highest bidder. Ultimately, Breeze turns on her bosses and joins the Knights fully. She's a lower-yield Speedster-type, hitting PL 7.5 offensively and defensively.

-Ben was a writer empowered by Sir Percival- fitting for a many obsessed with Arthurian mythos and the Holy Grail. He was introduced to Kate McClellan when both found they had Pendragon powers, and they quickly took a liking to each other (she'd split from Dai Thomas off-panel by that point). He was attracted but wanted to take it slow, but Kate, uh, moved the relationship forwards. He was killed by one of the Bane (disguising himself as a shark-monster to justify the slaughter of sharks), but resurrected along with Union Jack in Avalon. The next issue, he was fatally-wounded once more by Dolph, another of The Bane, but managed to save Union Jack's life with his healing powers before passing away.

-Ben was another Blaster, but also had Healing Powers.

-Albion debuted in Knights of Pendragon #8 and was revealed to have been a hero since World War I, having been an agent of the Green Knight's even back then. Empowered by Herne the Hunter, he was pretty ageless, and had since become a teacher- Kate McClellan's son Cam was one of his students. Albion quickly became a signature character of the book, despite initially only appearing doing a little bit each issue and looking kind of like a putz: reading tarot cards, having a friend killed by The Bane, etc. He is ultimately captured and sacrificed by The Bane, summoning the Red Lord, but reappears later by some means I can't figure out. He represents the Knights in MyS-TECH Wars, and is one of the final characters who helps save Earth by representing "Earth Sorcery" among the six who destroy the Un-Earth MyS-TECH had created. He also joins the Dark Guard in a later book that combines many Marvel UK properties together.

-Albion appears to be a magician of some sort who ages very slowly.

-Empowered by Morgause (Arthur's sister), Fran was a corrupt corporate executive who is responsible for numerous crimes against the environment, she is possessed by The Bane- the force that tries to destroy the world for the Red Lord. She summons the Bane and imbues humans with Bane essences. Adam Crown manages to get Grace to see her own humanity by showing her the corruption of The Bane, and she sides with the Knights in the end, confessing her love for him in the second incarnation of the book.

-Empowered by King Arthur, Adam Crown was chosen to lead the team, but was an ordinary man. He debuted way after most of the other characters, showing up in Knights of Pendragon #14 just having a "Pendragon visit" and joining the team with a very "Alan Davis Side Character" design- long black hair, a sword, and a brownish, plain outfit. He wields Caliburn and has Telekinesis & Dimensional Transport powers. He was about to lose to Skire, one of MyS-TECH's agents, but won thanks to empowering by the Green Knight.

I don't know the full details.
It was because of some strings attached to the 1977 series. The network, I believe CBS, still had an option on Wonder Girl.
For a time, in the 2000s, NBC had an option on Wonder Woman that presumably extended to her supporting cast. This led to the failed Adrianne Palicki "Wonder Woman" pilot. Given the timing it is more likely that it would have been the NPC option that prevented Donna from appearing in the Teen Titans cartoon.

THE GREEN KNIGHT
Created by:
Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning & Gary Erskin
First Appearance: The Knights of Pendragon #5 (April 1990)
Role: English Planeteer
Group Affiliation: The Knights of Pendragon

-The Green Knight is part of the Arthurian mythos- that of an unkillable spirit of sorts, who teaches Sir Gawain a lesson and spares his life. He appears in Marvel's Knights of Pendragon series as one of the beings that empowers the group- he has been killing people for polluting the environment, and faces the Red Lord, a corrupting force. He empowered Adam Crown in particular, helping him defeat Skire of MyS-TECH at one point. He was killed by the Skrull Invasion in Captain Britain & MI-13, but was resurrected by Pete Wisdom shortly thereafter.

The Red Lord

Post by Jabroniville »

Image

THE RED LORD (Bodb Derg)
Created By:
Dan Abnett, Jon Tomlinson & Gary Erskine
First Appearance: Knights of Pendragon #11 (May 1991)
Role: Ancient God
'90s Ratio: 7/10 (evil violent blood god)

-The Red Lord is an ancient, gigantic threat faced by the Knights of Pendragon- a manifestation of the darkness and corruption of winter. He has faced his opposite, the Green Knight (who represents life) since "Earth's dawn". Ancient people worshipped him, and he latched on to the form of the Celtic God Bodb Berg, who coveted the Dagda's position as the leader of the Tuatha de Danaan. When Berg was beaten and exiled, the Red Lord corrupted him. For centuries, the Red Lord's troops, the Bane, set about weakening the Green Knight by harming his champions (Arthur's knights, the Pendragons) and ruining the world's environment to allow for their master to return. However, when the Knights of Pendragon fought the Bane in a huge battle, one of the Knights convinced the Red Lord's disciple, Grace, that the cause was unjust, and she switched sides. The Red Lord was like "hey, good move" to the Green Knight and balance was restored. Kieron Gillen would use the character in 2012 for Journey into Mystery- it was established that his chaotic fury fueled the "Manchester Gods".
