SUNSWORD

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: Anatolius Aelianus
Homeworld: Ancient Earth
Group Affiliation: (formerly) Judgement League
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 127 lbs
Eyes: hazel
Hair: blond

HISTORY
In ancient Rome, the soldier named Anatolius Aelianus was gifted with a gladius made of fire from the god Apollo in order to slay the conquering tyrant Vandal Savage who had offended the Roman gods with his arrogant ambitions. Aelianus was one of the best swordsmen in Rome, but the gods had underestimated Vandal Savage’s own capacity for violence. Savage defeated Aelianus handily even with the soldier’s enchanted weapon, and threw him into a ravine to die with dishonour. Savage would later come to be humbled by the Roman gods themselves when his reach outstripped his grasp, and this would be just one more incident in the immortal man’s long and storied life.

Aelianus was saved from his fate when Earth-Man gathered him to join his Judgement League in the 31st Century. Earth-Man gave him the codename Sunsword, and the time-displaced warrior cast his lot with Earth-Man out of gratitude for saving his life and awe at the feats he could do with his powers and technology from the future.

Sunsword was never a particularly notable member of the Judgement League, and since the team’s dissolution he has taken a break from adventuring to work on familiarising himself with this strange future where he has now found himself.

POWERS & WEAPONS
Sunsword is an extremely skilled swordsman, and since moving to the 31st Century he has replaced his old iron alloy armour with a lightweight plasteel equivalent which is much more durable.

He carries a gladius blessed by the god Apollo so that the blade is composed of divine fire which is as hot as it needs to be, but can also be sheathed safely by Sunsword when not in use. Its godly origin also makes the sword uniquely effective against dark magic and psychic phenomena that would normally be unaffected by a physical attack.

To assist him in wielding his weapon without fear, Apollo gave Sunsword a secondary blessing which renders him immune from even the most intense heat or light-based attacks.

EYEFUL ETHEL

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: Ethel Lyn Niwtyn
Homeworld: Earth
Group Affiliation: (formerly) Judgement League
Height: 5’4”
Weight: 123 lbs
Eyes: different colors (see Powers & Weapons)
Hair: black (dyed blonde)

HISTORY
Eyeful Ethel’s history prior up to the point she joined the Judgement League has already been documented. Though her powers aren’t useful in combat, her expanded vision powers have been quite useful to Earth-Man’s xenophobic cause. She is also one of Metropolis’s best teachers, which has been arguably even more important in changing the minds of young Terrans to embrace the Judgement League’s prejudices.

Although the Judgement League has officially disbanded, Ethel is still working with at least her husband Tusker, the electrically powered White Lightning, and until recently the destructive Bouncing Betty.

POWERS & WEAPONS
Originally, Eyeful Ethel’s only power was 360 degree vision thanks to a ring of eyes circling her head. As she’s grown older, she has learned to manifest eyeballs anywhere on her body at will…she has also expanded her vision powers, so far showing evidence of x-ray vision and telescopic vision capable of seeing clearly over interplanetary distance.

To maximise her efficiency while she’s working with the Judgement League, Ethel now tends to leave eyes peeking out from anywhere she has exposed skin, though presumably she can still absorb her extra eyes back into her body again whenever she wishes. Her eyes all function independently of one another and come in every color normally seen in Terrans. It’s unclear whether the color of her eyes has any connection to whatever vision power that eyeball might manifest.

A subtle side effect of her power is that Ethel’s brain is capable of processing information at the same rate as a 7th level intellect. While she’s not truly more intelligent than any other Terran, she can absorb and retain visual information far more effectively than her peers. This helped her immensely when she decided to become a teacher, and she is particularly knowledgeable about Earth history.

Great work tying Ethel’s powers into her teaching skill - love the secondary power that lets her process and retain everything she sees with her many eyes! Good way to make her more formidable

Also like the story around Sunsword!

Thanks IB! The bit about Ethel I actually cribbed from her old Who's Who entry....they said she was naturally good at studying because she could read a bunch of texts at the same time so I just extrapolated from there

ah! had no idea, but Who's Who was indeed a goldmine of nice tidbits. but kudos for taking that and expanding it!
