Appearance:

Public Personality: The Vine Stalker presents himself as a benevolent and yet withdrawn protector of both nature and humanity. He rarely even talks to humans, except to refute the insults of enemies. He is infuriated by damage done to the environment, and he is angered even more by attacks on people in his protection. He dislikes others interfering in his affairs, but is more than willing to work together with others if it is necessary to defend humanity and plant life. He has stated that humanity and plant life must co-exist if there is ever to be balance in the world.

Private Personality: Harris is deeply insecure, as he always has been, but this trait has been magnified tenfold since his transformation into the Vine Stalker, he believes that there are many others that could do the job far better than he ever could. His mask as nature's defender is simply to ensure he doesn't have to spend time amongst people, as he is deeply afraid of what he has become and what others would say about him. He truly wants to be a hero, even if he doesn't want to have all the credit that comes with it, and he would gladly lay down his life to protect both humanity and plant-life, which he considers equal due to his attunement to it. Harris is meek and quick to apologize, but tries to put on a brave face for those under his protection.

Super abilities:
-Skills:
»Biologist: Harris is a former cellular biologist, and is very skilled in that field, when provided with a microscope, he can easily manipulate bacterial cultures for whatever need there may be.
»Linguist: Harris has a linguistics minor, he can identify accents and where a person is from based on said accents.
-Powers:
»Plant Manipulation: Harris has a deep attunement to plant life, and can manipulate it in any way he desires, and, due to his body being mostly plant matter, this extends to himself as well. This allows Harris to grow plants as weapons, clone himself, regenerate from most any wound, grow wings to allow for flight, and cause massive devastation by creating a massive number of plants in any given area.
»Insectoid Exoskeleton: An extension of his plant-based abilities, Harris coats himself in an insect-like exoskeleton made of hardened plant matter to protect himself from injury. This can be shed to allow his body greater mobility, or retained to allow improved defense.
»Plant Destruction: Another extension of his plant manipulation, Harris can destroy plants in a fiery explosion, though this is dangerous to himself as well.
»Photosynthesis: As long as Harris is within sunlight, he can survive indefinitely, fueling himself through sunlight. When not in sunlight, he is weakened and can die if deprived of it for too long.
-Weaknesses:
»Fire: Exceptionally damaging to Harris, fire can also rob him of plant-life to use as weaponry, and burning him is the only way to reliably stop his regeneration.
»Verbal abuse: Harris is very insecure, and tossing abuse at him can lead to severe mental damage and distraction.
»Attack the Head: Harris' head is required for his regeneration, decapitation can kill him, and blunt force trauma to his head can cause just as much damage as it does to a normal human.

Biography---------

Character History/Origin: Harris Herzog was born in Amnesty Bay, Maine, a quaint port town, almost seated on the Canadian border, to fisherman Arthur Herzog and wife Patricia Leverman. From a young age, Harris took an interest in biology, long harboring a desire to figure out why life came to be, despite the odds against it. Harris excelled in school and moved from Amnesty Bay to a larger city to pursue an education in biology. 

During his time on campus, he bore witness to a woman in hijab being assaulted by a group of older students, who screamed slurs at her and forcibly tore the hijab from her head. Despite his meek personality, Harris noticed that no-one else was stepping in and grabbed the nearest man to stop him. In the ensuing fight, Harris was brutally beaten, but he was rescued by campus security arriving. The woman offered her gratitude as she was taken to hospital, giving him a wide smile. In that instant, Harris decided that he wanted to help people, whether through his work in biology or otherwise.

Harris graduated and was hired at another college as a professor of cellular biology. For the next years, he spent his time teaching students and studying, constantly looking for a breakthrough. Harris tried to ignore the chaotic state of the world, and supported the government's position on masked vigilantes, believing the police were capable enough. Eventually, Harris discovered a lead on a form of bacteria only found in Florida's everglades, which some believed could serve as a cure for many forms of bacterial infection, replacing penicillin even! Excited by this opportunity, Harris traveled to Florida and adventured into the everglades.

Harris was never seen again.

Lost in the everglades and horrifically mauled by crocodiles, Harris gave up, and prepared himself for death, allowing the darkness to overcome him.

Surprisingly, he didn't die, but found himself changed, his limbs which had been devoured by crocodiles had grown back, but he was far taller, and he appeared to have transformed into a plant creature.

Harris didn't take this well.

He spent a long time soul-searching, but eventually went into a hallucinatory trance, during which he spoke to what he believed was the spirit of Earth itself, who told him he was the plant elemental, and Earth's protector. Finally emerging in Hope Springs, West Virginia, Harris offered himself as the small mining town's protector, deciding to begin his campaign to protect the world here, as a form of beta-test. He would give it his all, eventually realizing that he was becoming one of the very vigilantes he condemned, but the people trusted him, believed in him, and there was no greater feeling.

Recently, Harris has become a less active vigilante, focusing on the affairs of the Green, who he has successfully bonded with. Retirement is a word that continues to cross his mind.

Costumed Appearance: 

Civilian Appearance: 

Icon: 

Costumed Personality: Iron Eagle is the last Nazi German soldier still fighting for his ideals, and he is deeply indoctrinated. Horrifically racist and prejudiced, the man is more than willing to commit ruthlessly immoral acts in order to live up to the ideals of his long deceased fuhrer. Iron Eagle brutally pokes at the flaws of his enemies, utilizing his mind-reading to learn what they fear the most and play at those fears. He seemingly has no personal attachment to anything but the dream of his fuhrer, suffers from PTSD due to experimentation and warfare, and is sociopathic to the extreme, most definitely not the picture of perfect mental health. He does, however, seem oddly fond of anyone of Japanese descent, perhaps due to his training. Eagle is conniving and cunning, and able to use his intelligence to outwit superior opponents. Iron Eagle enjoys combat above all else, and is more than willing to put his ambitions on hold if he finds an opponent he finds worthwhile.

Civilian Personality: Wilhelm Silber is a quiet elderly gentleman, accommodating and always smiling. He is beloved by the people of Hub City, though he does have his eccentricities, such as concluding a toast with "heil Hitler", seemingly on habit. He even enjoys the company of masked vigilantes, despite most everyone else's prejudice towards them. He is willing to compromise and back away from danger, but will try to help in whatever way he can. When in private however, Wilhelm's personality reveals itself to be not that different from that of his alter-ego. His comely old man mask is just that, a mask, and he is capable of committing brutal actions in the name of his dream.

Super abilities:
-Skills: 
»2nd dan black belt in karate.
»Polyglot: Wilhelm speaks six languages fluently; German, Russian, English, Italian, Japanese, and French. He is currently in the process of learning Spanish as well.
»Soldier Training: Wilhelm is trained to an elite level in all parts of being a soldier, formerly serving as the Standartenführer of the RSD, Hitler's and many other Nazi leader's bodyguards before the Reich fell.

-Powers: 
»Peak Physical Fitness: The experiments done on Wilhelm have given him peak fitness, even as an old man, he is capable of running marathon level distances with little difficulty, lifting upwards of four hundred pounds (far more with the aid of his telekinesis), and taking blows from professional boxers without faltering.
»Telekinesis: Wilhelm has powerful telekinetic abilities. He can lift objects up to 100 tons in weight, but at that level he requires an intense amount of focus. When lifting lighter objects, he is capable of lifting up to fifty objects at one time, though this number goes down exponentially with the weight of the object. He can use this ability to fly, but rarely does, as doing so requires more focus than would usually be required for an object of his weight. This ability only developed after the Second World War finished, and he has yet to fully master it.
»ESP: Wilhelm is a telepath, and can read target's thoughts, emotions, and memories. He can use this ability to converse with targets without speaking as well. 

-Weapons:
»AK-47 rifle.
»Mauser C96 Pistol

-Weaknesses:
»Line of Sight: Wilhelm cannot read minds or utilize telekinesis without a direct line of sight to the target, meaning he is just as vulnerable to ambush as any other.
»PTSD Trigger: Hearing the sound of a running drill or saw causes Wilhelm to suffer psychotic episodes and can easily neutralize him without a fight.
»Head Blows: Striking him in the head interrupts any telekinetic or telepathic action, the blow must be strong enough to cause him pain.

Civilian Occupation: Corner store proprietor 

Biography---------

Character History/Origin: Wilhelm Silber was born in Stettin, Germany in the year 1920 on the day of the winter solstice. His birth-name was Wilhelm von Habsburg-Lotharingen, and he was born to a scion of the great house of Habsburg, former rulers of the Holy Roman Empire and Austria. As a youth, Wilhelm became enamored by the rhetoric of the Nazi Party, and joined it with gusto. Dropping out of school to continue following the Nazi party.

Wilhelm became increasingly entrenched in the Nazi ideology, attending most every speech by Adolf Hitler and following his recommended lifestyle fervently. When Hitler invaded Poland, Wilhelm immediately volunteered for the army. He excelled in basic training, but he suffered greatly in teamwork and leadership. His skill and lack of intelligence gave the scientific higher-ups in Germany a perfect opportunity to create a mentally malleable super-soldier. Brought to the Owl Mountains on the Polish border, Wilhelm became the subject of Project Riese, or Project Giant as it was known in English. Wilhelm was experimented upon in unethical experiments that caused him immense pain and led to him developing PTSD, but through Nazi brainwashing and experimentation, Wilhelm became a perfect tool of the Nazi regime, he gained multiple IQ levels, his body was improved to human peak performance, and he gained incredible mind abilities, though they were far weaker than they currently are. Trained in martial arts by Japanese allies and leadership by the German high command, Wilhelm became a symbol of Aryan supremacy.

Wilhelm served on the Eastern front for a time, before being given command of the Nazi security service, serving as a bodyguard during Operation Valkyrie, where he was caught in an explosion and thought dead. In reality, Wilhelm escaped, though severely burned, and escaped. For a time, he secretly aided allied movements against Soviet forces, but eventually hid within a group of refugees and moved to America. For a long time he has stayed hidden, secretly plotting on a way to bring back the Reich, and recently, many people of Jewish, Slavic, and Roma descent were found murdered, a red eagle painted in their blood. Finally, Iron Eagle re-emerged, a relic of a bygone era, finally executing a plot to seize control of Hub City, to use it as a stepping stone to re-establish the German Reich.

A long time fighting Lady Arcana has left him crippled and basically unable to fight, specifically due to their most recent confrontation, where an error in judgement lead to her unleashing a blind rage upon him. Unable to walk unassisted and quickly deteriorating, Silber continues to look for a way to return to the fight, perhaps even a way to win the battle with Arcana once and for all.

Bang

"Failure is un-American, femininity is un-American, and most of all, Communists are un-American!"

Name: Robert Ulysses Grant Wojownik

Hometown: Red Bow, Arkansas

Current Location: Metropolis

Sex: None, identifies strongly as male

Race: Sentient fallout cloud, formerly human.

Height: 6'0" in suit.

Weight: 50 lbs in suit.

Age: 47

Birth Date: June 12
--------

Icon:

Public Personality: In one word, Bang is... theatrical. Deeply in love with America, Bob refuses to tolerate any speech which he considers un-american, and will violently lash out at anyone who acts in an "un-American" way. Despite having a seeming code as to what is "American", this code is never consistent and shifts on a daily basis, like the rest of Bang's personality. Some days he's focused on helping the American people some days he's busy posing and dancing across rooftops. One thing consistent is a hatred of communism in any form. Bang is recklessly courageous, brutally violent, and quick to anger. He is rather rude to everyone he meets and often utilizes racist or inflammatory language without a care because he knows he can get away with it. Bang doesn't fight crime or solve any problems he considers under his notice, only responding to threats he sees as too important to ignore. Otherwise he bums around and causes trouble.

Private Personality: Bob... is probably the exact same as his Bang persona, getting closer to him only reveals a small amount of self-loathing but otherwise what you see is what you get.

Super abilities:
-Skills:
»Thief: Bob sustained himself through thievery prior to his transformation, and still possesses those thievery skills despite his comparatively more heroic career now.
-Powers:
»Nuclear Manipulation: Bob is able to manipulate nuclear energies, he uses this mostly to cause explosions, fired from his hands as beams of pure nuclear energy. His full explosive force is equivalent to 100 megatons of TNT, enough to completely destroy New York City, but at this strength his physical form may be cast far and wide, leaving him out of commission for quite some time until he can reassemble himself.
»Superhuman Strength: Bob hits as hard as a nuclear explosion, mostly due to the manipulation of nuclear energy and the fact that his physical form is a fallout cloud composed of mostly nuclear energy that can be moved at great speed and explode to create massive-force blows.
»De Facto Immortality: Bob's existence as a living fallout cloud means that he is for all intents and purposes immortal, unless he loses his ability to control nuclear energy or is facing an opponent strong enough to completely destroy his essence through magic, he is unkillable.
»Flight: Bob's powers enable him to fly.
-Weaknesses:
»Suit Punctures: Bob's suit is firm and defensible, but puncturing or destroying it means that Bob is fighting the devil without a crucifix. Without his suit, Bob's only hope is to poison his enemy, and he'd probably rather leave then attempt that (Poison is un-American).
»Stupidity: Bob is not very intelligent, and also very very sure of his own intelligence, he makes many mistakes and cannot keep his mouth shut to save his life.
»Magic: Though Bob cannot be killed by physical means, magic can effect him just as it does a normal human. His suit provides a level of protection from this, but his physical form can be killed by magical attacks.
Biography
---------

Character History/Origin:

Bob was not born lucky.

He was a sickly child, suffering from epilepsy and a weak immune system due to an inherited genetic disorder from his mother. His mental health was always incredibly poor, leading to a schizophrenia diagnosis and a guarantee that he was never to leave the house again. His mental issues eventually established themselves through a crazed love of America, a love of theatrics, and a hatred of communism.

Bob was raised in a bubble by his parents, a Vietnam vet, son of a deceased WW2 soldier and incredibly patriotic, and a housewife who shared her husband's obsession for the country they lived in. Bob was obsessively fawned over and treated like an infant. Eventually it was too much, and Bob escaped from his home as a teenager. Taught only by his parents, he'd been fostered to believe in the greatness of America above all else, and he expected America to treat him well. Unfortunately this turned out to not be the case. Bob was dying of a multitude of illnesses within days, even so Bob's patriotism never faded. He attempted to sustain himself through thievery, and found himself supported by a few good American folks, but eventually he collapsed in the cold.

Then he was found by someone. Lying on the ground seizing and vomiting up blood. To this day Bob doesn't know where he had been the last thirty years, it was as if that whole period of his life went blank. When he was next aware, he was in the center of a room, glowing orange lights painting the walls. Then a flash, and then he felt his sick body melt away from him, burned away like paper in a flame. He watched his hand as the flesh peeled off, layer by layer, until it was gone, and then the bone collapsed too. He felt nothing, but he couldn't help but suck down a few last breaths as his jaw collapsed, rotting, from his face.

Finally his head was burned away, he prayed as his last moments of consciousness faded... or not, as it turned out. He was still awake, alive. He could see, he could feel. What was he? What the hell had happened? Where was he?

The shutters to the room which he had been held in then shot open, revealing the wall he was looking at to be a window, where he was examined by a number of men in lab coats, all wearing an owl sigil somewhere on their person.

"Test successful. Subject five active." Bob recalled hearing.

"Wow, you sure we shouldn't keep him as a Talon?"

"Nah, Eagle needs an arrow for the heel, and we need to provide."

Very suddenly, Bob's form began to shift, and after a few moments, an explosion roared from within him that demolished the facility.

All except for a pair of objects, a suit, seemingly created exactly for him, and another, more streamlined. He placed himself into one of them, and immediately felt the connection, the power. He immediately tested this power by tearing the mechanical parts out of a man who had been using them to manipulate energy much like he was, seemingly a survivor of the explosion.

Bob emerged into the city of Metropolis soon after, and he has begun his crusade across America of making things into his perfect version of America through threats and attacks on those who he sees as weakening the spirit of the great United States of America.

The changing world breeds a changing Bob, and he now serves as an agent of CADMUS, a rogue government organization. He works as a "Metahuman Cleanup Specialist", dealing with whatever metahuman CADMUS sees as a threat to the American people.

When performing interrogations she has a wide array of other outfits, including a clown outfit, a gimp costume, a suit, and an alien costume. One thing that Alias does in all outfits is strap her breasts down, they're a hindrance in combat, and not having them can be helpful for shifting outfits during interrogation.

Costumed Personality:
"You have thirty seconds to tell me, or I bring out Bill."

Alias is a quiet, brutal, and yet still eccentric vigilante.

Her fighting style is brutal and efficient, and she seems to bring pleasure out of causing harm to others. Alias also seems distrustful of government authority, and when she speaks to an ally, she has a litany of reasons as to why she hates the government, most of which are based in fact, and others... which aren't. When interrogating a target, Alias uses a variety of strange outfits and other personalities in order to disorient and confuse the target, the only constant being Alias herself who expresses empathy in an attempt to get the target to state what they know.

Civilian Personality:

Shams is bitter and rude, constantly complaining about the sorry state of the Hub City Police Department and how little power she possesses to actually stop crimes. She is also very defensive due to having to constantly deal with racism, and it is very hard to gain her trust, whether you are an individual or an organization. Despite all of this, Shams truly believes in bettering the world, even if that seems like an impossible goal. Shams is a sadist, and enjoys seeing others in pain, but attempts to rein this aspect of her personality in most times.

Biography
---------

Character History/Origin: Shams Al'Harasa was born in the city of Abu Dhabi, of the United Arab Emirates, formerly Trucial States. Her family was descended of nobility, and she was quite well off as a child. However, before she could remember, a member of her family was found to be performing terrorism in Arab Union territory. Not willing to risk their wrath, the Emirs expelled her family from the UAE, and they were forced to flee to America.

The Al'Harasa family eventually settled in Hub City, the cheapest housing they could find. This meant that they were forced to settle in Hell's Corner, a slum in the city almost as bad and notorious as The Wedge. Shams found herself living in poverty for her entire childhood, forced to live on very little and dealing with racism and brutal attacks on her and her family. Shams, wishing to change this, joined the police as soon as she was able, but found herself disappointed with the lack of power they expressed over the city slums.

Shams felt furious at this, and quickly began bending to law to her own whims, but even so found herself restricted by the limits of being a police officer. Learning of The Question, and his crusade against gang violence and other crime, she decided to herself become a vigilante, finally getting the chance to change the city on her own terms. This would also prove a great opportunity to meet with this Question fellow, who intrigued her immensely.

Having split with the Question, Alias continues her pursuit of justice, though her unending quest has taken a toll on her mental state and body alike.
