Albert Adrianus Luthor

Percy, Al, Adrian

29

Metropolis

Justice League United

Envoy, Strategist, Senior Leaguer, Team Leader, Combat Expert

Luthor has a strong resemblance to his infamous father, with the same strong jaw and high cheekbones. He is also tall, standing at 6'2 and has a powerful, athletic build sculpted by intense physical training and the rigors of combat. Luthor's skin is also sun-bronzed, a testament to his Mediterranean heritage and active lifestyle, but is still youthfully smooth. Unlike his father, Luthor's eyes are a striking aquamarine evoking the sea rather than the famous light green. His hair, shortly cut, is a dark blonde instead of auburn and he wears a closely trimmed beard.

His Perseus persona features a form-fitting jumpsuit of Kryptonian make. The suit is dark purple in color and features a golden stylized Gorgon's head on the chest. The outfit also features black boots and gloves and a translucent helmet that can materialize from the outfit and also take on an ornate golden appearance. The suit is rounded out by a golden cape draped over one shoulder.

- Like his father and siblings, Perseus has a genius-level intelligence and an eidetic memory. He was classically educated and has a wide-ranging knowledge of art, history, philosophy, and literature. He has two doctorates, one in psychology and the other in Metahuman studies. Perseus is thus an expert in psychological examination and is able to evaluate and form countermeasures against virtually all documented metahuman archetypes. Perseus is also fluent in English, German, Italian, Greek, Latin, and Kryptonese.

- Unlike his father or brother, Perseus has embraced the idea of empowering himself beyond human limits. While Perseus trained himself to peak physical perfection, he augmented his impressive physicality even further with genetic augmentation. Perseus is stronger than ten men is faster and more agile than the most fleet Olympian athletes, is able to run for four days without sleep, and is catch arrows in-flight. Perseus' skin and bones were also toughened, making him more resistant to blunt trauma. His senses have also been heightened, allowing him to perceive the infrared spectrum among other superhuman feats of perception. Perseus is able to resist toxins that would kill normal humans and recovers from serious wounds more quickly and comprehensively than is mortally possible. He will likely live far beyond a hundred, perhaps even two.

- Perseus is also an incredibly-skilled hand-to-hand combatant. He trained at a young age under the tutelage of Mercy Graves and upon joining the Titans, sparred with members of the Bat Family. He was beaten several times, but has only improved over time. Upon becoming a full-fledged Leaguer, he is widely recognized as one of the League's top melee fighters, even besides his enhancements. Perseus is an expert in several martial arts styles but and his true mastery lies in boxing, wrestling, blade combat, and spear and shield techniques.
Perseus' mental fortitude is likewise formidable, allowing him to ignore extremes of temperature or pain that would debilitate lesser men.

- His daily equipment includes a mono-molecular knife that can extend into a spear with a taser attachment. On his forearm is a gauntlet that can extend into a carbon nanotube shield that protects against projectile weaponry, explosions, and energy weapons. Perseus' nano-gloves allow him to scale sheer surfaces while his mag-boots allow him to fight effectively in zero-g environments. Perseus is also an expert marksman, especially with handguns, but does not include firearms in his daily arsenal.

- Despite his enhancements, Perseus is far from the mightiest of the metahumans. His augments allow him to compete head-to-head with the likes of Batman or Deathstroke, but they are woefully inadequate against his Kryptonian allies and those in their weight-class. It is also an exaggeration of the media when he is said to dodge bullets. Rather Perseus can track movements of the gun barrel and thus avoid it.

- Perseus' shield can protect against small-arms fire well enough, but more powerful weaponry could pierce or even collapse the shield, forcing the gauntlet to fabricate it once more. And though he is more resistant to physical damage, Perseus is still mortal. Blades will still cut him and bullets will still harm him. He is able to shrug off severe wounds for a time due to adrenaline and his enhanced physiology, but a bullet in the gut is just as serious to him as a normal human if left untreated. Perseus' healing ability also only applies in the long-term, and doesn't help with wounds on the battlefield. He also has no special protection against magic or psychic attack besides an incredibly strong will.

Albert Luthor was the eldest son and firstborn child to Alexander Luthor II, better known as Lex Luthor and his one-time wife Eris Alexandra Pallas, the Countess. Lex and Eris had an extremely volatile relationship, one moment completely in love and the next at each other's threats. They separated while Albert, his brother Alex, and his sister Lena were still young. They would spend an equal amount of time growing up in Metropolis and Athens. Albert was taught all the intricacies of business and developed a keen interest in astronomy and athletics under his father. His mother immersed him in a world of mythology and literature, studying the Greek philosophers and the Romantic poets. He became a lover of art, music, and theatre. Both of his parents taught him how to manipulate people, how to dominate them, how to intimidate. Albert grew to have deep respect and love for both of his parents, though both often tried to put him against the other.

Lex Luthor had long lived with the spectre of scandal looming over him. He was a public critic of Superman and all costumed heroes, and was on numerous occasions tied to criminal conspiracies. However, most of the charges never stuck and he was only imprisoned once. He would soon be pardoned for his help in defeating the Justice Lords when they temporarily disabled the Justice League, publicly teaming up with Superman and even going on to join the Justice League as a member for a time. His public image was restored, and his supposed criminal activities became ever more elusive. During a period of seeming amity with his former rivals, Lex made a grand gesture of producing a young Albert for membership in the Teen Titans. Albert was accepted but was not welcomed by most. In a team of outcasts, loners, mavericks, and rejects, Albert was still an outsider. The son of a supervillain. Albert, who somehow maintained a strong sense of justice and idealism despite his parents, was at first vehemently opposed to the idea that his father was the criminal people said he was. He was distrusted and ostracized. But as he spent more time with the Titans a mutual respect grew between them as they risked their lives to save one another on multiple occasions. He would grow to be especially close to Lara Kent, the future Supergirl, though he never warmed to her older brother Jon.

Eventually, Perseus would grow to be a trusted member of the team, even if those in the Justice League had their reservations. And all the while, his father asked him for updates on the team's operations through a hidden communicator. To Albert it seemed like innocuous material and his father justified it by saying that even the heroes were not above the law and that someone should be holding them accountable, that the intelligence would be passed on to the authorities to ensure the heroes were acting within the law. Albert believed him. Until one day, when Albert had graduated into the Justice League and firmly established himself, a mission that Albert had described some details of was compromised and several members of the team were severely injured. Their target had also somehow gotten possession of Kryptonite. Though his father denied it, Albert suspected that Lex had informed the villains of the mission. In his heart, he knew that everything said about his father was true.

Though he never had a public falling out with Lex, Albert became less and less visible in Lexcorp functions and devoted more and more time to heroics. He stopped referring to himself as Albert Luthor in public and went solely by his heroic alias, Perseus. It came as little surprise then when Lex stepped down as CEO of Lexcorp to become Chairman of the Board and named Alexander Luthor III, Albert's younger and even more intelligent brother, CEO instead. Perseus seemed to take the snubbing in stride and became a spokesperson for the Justice Foundation, a consortium of corporations and non-profit organizations that supported and augmented the Justice League's operations. He has proved to be a polarizing figure in the Justice League with an equal amount of friends and admirers as well as detractors and rivals. His charm and dependability won over many while others were put off by his overconfidence that bordered on arrogance, his sometimes ruthless methods, and his name. Despite all this, Perseus has come to be recognized as one of the premier figures of the modern League, and a face of the new generation of heroes.

During the E-Day attacks, Perseus was a strong stabilizing element. He worked tirelessly to help organize the resistance to the Legion's attacks and fought where the chaos and carnage was worst. He saw many friends maimed, comrades killed, and civilians slaughtered. His resolve only deepened. Though he seethed with fury, he was one of the driving voices for the summit to negotiate a cease-fire. Perseus was one of the Leaguers to sign the Armistice, and his father and brother both signed as supposed independent witnesses. He knew the truth, that they were as much responsible for the destruction and death as figures like Black Adam or Queen Bee were. It was a hardened Perseus that returned to duty. Perseus remains determined to keep the bloodshed from spilling over once more, believing that the Legion can be overturned with surgical precision rather than all-out war. And yet Perseus is also fast growing into an advocate of the idea that the League should take an even more active role in world affairs, as the failures of mundane government abound. Perseus perceives that divisions are fast growing in the Justice League, and it is his fear that the League that he loves will tear itself asunder along with the world should war break out once more. He is resolved to do everything he can to stop either from occurring.

- Perseus is pansexual and polyamorous, having had rumored liaisons with several prominent costumed heroes and villains. It is whispered that he is currently romantically involved Lara Kal-El, the current Supergirl and sister to the current Superman.
- Perseus is known to have a cool relationship with his father and a rivalry with both his younger brother and his brother-in-law Superman. He is known to be close to his sister Lena, Hope, his half-sister by Mercy Graves and Kon-El, who is genetically his brother.
- Perseus was named Albert for his father's hero, Albert Einstein.

- Greek demigod heroes of myth.
- All-Star Superman, where Lex gave himself superpowers, though to a much lesser extent.
- The implied Greek heritage of Lex in Superman:TAS combined with the German-American Lex in BvS.

Angela Mannheim

The Pretty Lady; Boss of Bosses

35

Metropolis, Delaware

Intergang, the Legion of Doom, the Elite

Boss of Intergang faction of Legion of Doom, undermining League territory and securing funding

Angela Mannheim is an incredibly vain woman who was entirely too sensitive about her father's nickname “Ugly”. As such, a good portion of her personal income has gone into plastic surgery to the point that she is barely recognizable as human. Experimental and expensive treatments have made her 7 feet tall, stick thin, and improbably proportioned. With her blue eyes, designer clothing, and blond hair she seems more like a unsettling living Barbie doll than a human being.

Angela Mannheim has no inherent superpowers but has used her immense fortune to buy several special weapons that she keeps on her person.

She keeps a thumbnail-sized chunk of Kryptonite in a lead-lined box with her at all times.

A concealable but powerful Amertek Toastmaster pistol.

She also carries around thirty Miraclo pills on her, the formula stolen from Hourman years ago. Ingesting one pills gives her an hour of superhuman strength, stamina, and speed (enabling her to lift up to 25 tons, bounce high-caliber gunfire off her skin, and run up to 80 mph). The effect only lasts one hour and then requires 24 hours of cooldown before it can be used again without risking overdose. Angela is in denial about it but is slowly becoming addicted to Miraclo.

Without Miraclo Angela is a normal human being and as vulnerable to damage as anyone else. Long run, her numerous surgeries and extensive drug use are going to have a very detrimental effect on her health.

Daddy's little girl. Those can be three dangerous words when put together, especially when Daddy is the biggest crime boss in North America.

Bruno “Ugly” Mannheim was the leader of Intergang when superheroes first started to appear. Unlike other crime syndicates that organized along ethnic lines, Intergang treated existed gangs like the mafia, yakuza, posses, and cartels as their farm leagues, hiring up the best and brightest. Based out of Metropolis, Intergang was soon pushing the envelope for organized crime, stealing and developing their own weapons and technology. Times were good for Intergang, at least until Superman arrived in 2017, the same year Ugly's only child was born. Some of Superman's earliest battles were against Intergang, dealing the organization same major defeats until other, more pressing menaces pushed Intergang further and further down the hero's to-do list. In a way, however, Bruno Mannheim viewed that as even more of an insult- he wasn't even important enough to finish off. There are whispers that burning with hatred for the Kryptonian, he began conducting dark rituals, reaching out for something that eventually took a personal interest in the Mannheim family. It is true that for her entire life, Angela has had dreams where she is whispered instructions by a cloaked hunchback, a robed nobleman, and very rarely a hulking red-eyed figure.

Bruno Mannheim soon began to give lessons to his daughter and most trusted subordinates. Unexpectedly, they were religious in nature. Mannheim asserted that traditional morality was a reversal of true morality, that the Bible should have venerated Cain for creating the sacred crime of murder. It was the beginning of the Religion of Crime, practiced in secret by members of Intergang. Cruelty and greed would be rewarded one glorious day. Angela believed wholeheartedly in this new religion, converting as many Intergang members as he could. As she became more dogmatic in her worship of crime, refusal was met with death. Conversion became a requirement of membership in Intergang.

From the beginning Angela was groomed as a successor to her father, both as a priestess and a boss. She was denied nothing, spoiled endlessly, taught to disregard the lives of anyone but herself- after all, selfishness was a central tenet of the Religion of Crime. Her aging father saw the promise of the Legion of Doom and joined Intergang to them- they soon became an excellent source of funding and manpower to them, operating their rackets in the developed world controlled by the League. Bruno often told his daughter, though, that their loyalty was not to the Legion but to the things they often dreamed of, who he called the Elite. One day the Elite would come, sweep aside the heroes and villains alike, and the Mannheims would be rewarded. Angela's natural vanity and cruelty was sharpened, and while at face value she accepted the Legion she privately plotted against them as well- the Elite had often told her in dreams how fondly they regarded betrayal.

Shortly after the Shiruta Pact was signed, the elder Mannheim, now confined to a wheelchair, became too old and feeble to run Intergang. He passed the reins to his pill-popping, surgery-addicted daughter, expecting her to continue his work and prepare for the coming of the Elite. In the meantime, Angela tries to enhance her own standing within the Legion and has a few ideas up her sleeve to do exactly that.

Angela operates out of a penthouse in a Metropolis skyscraper, from there running Intergang operations all over the world.

Juno

none

Immortal

Island of Themyscira

Justice League, Amazons of Themyscira

Polemarch Aide de Camp

Gender: Female
Height: 5’ 6"
Weight: 125 lbs
Eyes: Blue-green
Hair: White

Juno is younger and less muscular than Donna, though she is still a formidable presence. Her skin is a pale white with a few freckles under her eyes. She normally wears her shoulder length hair loose. Juno usually wears a simple tunic belted at the waist, sandals, and the obligatory Amazon bracelets.

Powers:
Immortal: Is immune to the effects of aging
Superhuman Agility: Olympic level of agility
Superhuman Durability: Resistant to magical attacks and blunt trauma, but is still vulnerable to piercing damage.
Superhuman Reflexes
Superhuman Stamina: Can function for over 24 hours without sleep.
Superhuman Strength: Can lift 25 tons

Equipment:
Wears Amazon bracelets and also carries a shield and sword or longbow and quiver. When going into battle, she will add a breastplate and greaves.

Skills:
As an Amazon, Juno is highly trained armed and unarmed hand-to-hand combat and archery.

Though immortal and inhumanly tough, Juno can still die through accident or combat if she suffers enough trauma. She also has no mental defenses, though her willpower is very strong.

Juno still needs to be able to breath, though she can hold her breath for 8 minutes. She also needs to eat and sleep.

Following the war, Donna Troy’s workload doubled overnight as she rushed to get the Queendom’s defenses rebuilt. Donna was responsible for everything, a crushing level of work even for an Amazon. It was Dianna who first saw her sister beginning to tire, and knew she would collapse before admitting she needed help. After consulting some of the more senior Amazons on the island, Dianna sat her sister down and suggested she take on an aide to help. Much to Dianna’s surprise, her sister agreed that she needed some assistance. Diann then presented Donna with a list of five candidates.

Donna took the list and for the next month interviewed and tested each of candidates. They were all excellent, but individually they had small flaws that were just enough for Donna to reject them. That was, until she met the last candidate, Juno. On the surface, Juno seemed less suited for the position than the others. She was a younger Amazon and though a fine and brave warrior, she not nearly as experienced or wise as the others.

But the more time Donna spent with her, the more she saw that Juno was, in fact perfect for her needs. Juno was very intelligent, observant and curious. She was willing to learn and had a near perfect recall of events. And she was a proud yet humble warrior. Donna had at last found who she was looking for and offered the position to Juno. Since that time, Donna has often wondered how she got along prior to having an aide. Juno has become indispensable to the Polemarch, exceeding the expectations and level of trust placed on her. For Juno, she is in awe of the Polemarch, and loves the posting despite the very long hours and heavy expectations placed upon her. However, she still is a bit intimidated by the fast pace and new experiences of Patriarch’s world.

Juno can nearly always be found either at Donna’s side, or off conducting important errands on her behalf. That is, unless Donna’s son Robert is around. You see, the two met about a year ago, and have started to fall in love. The two have done their best to be discrete, but Donna knows all about it and is pleased. However, she acts like she doesn’t know.
