KARATE KID III

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: unknown
Homeworld: unknown
Group Affiliation: Fatal Five
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 140 lbs
Eyes: black
Hair: shaved bald

HISTORY
After the second Karate Kid was murdered by Radiation Roy, Cosmic Boy (leader of the Legion of Superheroes at the time) learned that on the planet Lythyl a third young man had taken the name Karate Kid for himself along with his predecessor’s former position in Lythyl’s ruling council. Cosmic Boy unsuccessfully attempted to recruit this new Karate Kid, and in a last-ditch effort he sent Sensor Girl and Timber Wolf to Lythyl to approach him in person.

Unfortunately Mano had gotten there first with his new crony Mordecai and had killed the two other members of the ruling council, leaving Karate Kid as the planet’s sole authority. By the time Timber Wolf and Sensor Girl arrived, Karate Kid had already agreed to join Mano in reforming the Fatal Five. Conflict inevitably broke out between the two groups, and the Legionnaires were lucky to escape with their lives while the villains had to abandon any claim to Lythyl to buy their escape.

It wasn’t long before Timber Wolf encountered Karate Kid again; the Legionnaire was following up on a recent encounter with the young woman named Catspaw, only to find that Catspaw and his old enemy Karth Arn had now joined Mano, Mordecai and Karate Kid in completing the new Fatal Five. The villains very nearly lived up to their name, savagely beating Timber Wolf nearly to death.

Karate Kid and his new teammates have only been seen once since then, when they were transported to Cadmu and summarily rendered unconscious by Sensor Girl weilding the power of the two Emerald Eyes of Ekron.

POWERS & WEAPONS
Karate Kid has no known metahuman powers, but he has dedicated himself to the task of becoming a perfect living weapon and his fighting skills may be unparalleled by anyone alive.

He has also mastered more subtle applications of various martial arts, specifically as relating to sensing and manipulating the flow of chi in living beings. His discipline in this area has allowed him to sense the nature of Sensor Girl’s illusions, and to disregard her illusions long enough to strike her.

MORDECAI

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: unknown
Homeworld: unknown
Group Affiliation: Fatal Five
Height: 12’ 2”
Weight: 560 lbs
Eyes: glowing yellow
Hair: none

HISTORY
Mordecai’s past is a mystery. At some point he was discovered by the supervillain Mano, and Mano recruited him to replace Validus in his own version of the Fatal Five. Mordecai is lumbering and inarticulate, but seems to have no problems understanding or following orders.

Mordecai was part of the Fatal Five team who nearly killed Timber Wolf on Zuun once, and who later took over the intergalactic robot species known as the Roboticans. Mordecai was taken into UP custody following the Robotican incident along with Catspaw, Karate Kid III and Mano, but their final member Karth Arn remains free and will likely free the rest of his team when the time is right.

During the Robotican incident, Mordecai was observed by both Strut and Tellus to have formed an instant infatuation with Lightning Lass (although predictably, Lightning Lass wasn't too happy with this). Strut also sensed that Mordecai harbours a great depression, but Strut also assumed that he must have made an error in interpreting Mordecai's biochemistry as the monstrous villain's actions don't seem to reflect this trait.

POWERS & WEAPONS
Mordecai is immensely superstrong and resistant to injury. Mano has claimed that he’s almost as strong as Validus, though whether this is just hyperbole or not remains to be seen.

ELASTIC LAD

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: Jams-Ols 5
Homeworld: Cadmu
Group Affiliation: Legion of Superheroes, Neocaste
Height: 5’ 5”
Weight: 120 lbs
Eyes: Green
Hair: Red

HISTORY
Jams-Ols 5 comes from the so-called ‘Science World’ of technologically advanced Cadmu, where every one of its native inhabitants is a cloned body of their predecessor. Cadmians are artificially socialised in an immersive virtual environment at the point of their conception so that when they emerge into the real world they have access to all of their predecessors’ memories (at least up to their predecessor’s last personality backup), but possess a unique personality based on their individual virtual life experience. Each Cadmian therefore considers themself to be a separate and distinct individual from every one of their genetic predecessors. The general naming convention for Cadmians is a single name followed by a numeral which indicates how far along they are in their own lineage (eg: one of Cadmu’s most famous inhabitants Leeta-87 was the 87th person in the Leeta geneline).

Jams-Ols 5 differs from the majority of his people in that he’s also a member of the elite Neocaste. The Neocaste were created to serve as Cadmu’s protectors, and they are the product of two distinct genelines whose metagene has been activated to provide them with individually distinct superpowers. Jams-Ols 5 is therefore the 5th result of the blending of the Jams and Ols genelines. Two of Elastic Lad’s predecessors are known, the gender-switching Ladyjams and the fire-breathing hero Red Devil.

Elastic Lad is the first of the Neocaste to pursue a life off-world, having left Cadmu to successfully try out for the Legion of Superheroes. More often than not his constant state of unflappable exuberance, his complete inability to ever be succinct and his habit of drifting between half a dozen topics of conversation drives his teammates crazy, but their affection for his youthful optimism generally overrides their annoyance. At any rate, his powers and scientific background have come in handy on more than one occasion. He was central in the Legion’s efforts to stop Tharok when the villain took over Elastic Lad’s homeworld, and he once stopped a rampaging android that was a match for Mon-El, Superboy and Supergirl. In one memorable adventure, Elastic Lad travelled into the past and even briefly met his own ancestor Red Devil.

POWERS & WEAPONS
Elastic Lad possesses the ability to elongate any part of his body dozens of times beyond normal humanoid limits. He loses very little dexterity or strength while elongated, and for all intents and purposes his rubbery body makes him immune to conventional physical injury.

His persona of excessively cheerful naivete tends to underscore his intellect, but Elastic Lad is also quite proficient in several scientific disciplines. He received a large number of scientific awards and trophies prior to joining the Legion, and he has had the benefit of five lifetimes worth of training in various fields including but not limited to physics, robotics, sociology, chemistry and metahuman physiology.

I love that Elastic Lad includes sociology among his areas of study (and it's a bit funny how he is a bit obtuse about his inability to be succinct - though he does have enough awareness to know that it's not ideal )

Haha I did second guess myself on that one actually cuz he's clearly TERRIBLE at reading the room but I figure it could still apply in an academic sense

some of the most brilliant minds can be so very obtuse even in their areas of study

plus, sociology is not exactly the same as psychology ... Elastic Lad could be brilliant at analyzing group dynamics, or even better, the dynamics of societies the Legion encounters. while being completely oblivious to his effect on his teammates

This is true...you're giving me ideas now actually IB...

it’s the writer in me struggling to get out, after being shut away for a year

This actually seems pretty on the nose, for him, the way he's been written to blather on. He seems very much like a 'big picture' sort of guy who might be a fount of information about the forest, and be utterly blind to the individual tree. It also could be a symptom of social awkwardness, that he pushes everything far back and talks about it from a grand overarcing perspective (one that may not include him at all), rather than deal with stuff that's right there in his face at the moment in time, and by abstracting everything and obsessing on the 'big picture' he sidesteps his own nervousness about dealing with smaller, more personal, interactions. As long as he can exposit, and it doesn't get 'too close' and personal, he's got confidence to spare.

Once it gets real, he might display a stutter that plagued him in childhood (and utterly shock people who have met him more recently, and can't imagine that he EVER had a problem talking!).

Oh my god I turned 13 year old me into a superhero, no wonder he's so fkn annoying

DRAGONMAGE

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: Xao Jin
Homeworld: Terran Shanghai Colonies, Sol Asteroid Belt
Group Affiliation: Legion of Superheroes
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 107 lbs
Eyes: brown
Hair: black

HISTORY
Very little detail has been revealed about the life of Xao Jin before he journeyed to Earth to try out for the Legion of Superheroes. He has spoken about studying magic under his mentor Madame Chu, but this in itself is a puzzle as the Terran colonies of the Sol system's asteroid belt are not particularly well known for their involvement in the world of sorcery.

Dragonmage made an excellent impression on the Legion before he ever even had a chance to try out, when his quick thinking saved the life of Blok who had succumbed after some time to a mystical assault by Mordru the Merciless. While Xao's quiet studious nature is no match for many of his more boisterous comrades and he has a tendency to underestimate himself, his versatility and magical knowledge has saved the day on many occasions and made him a valued member of the Legion; in at least one possible future, a far more experienced and confident Dragonmage is considered the mystical expert in a Legion of Superheroes which numbers well over 100 individuals.

POWERS & WEAPONS
Dragonmage is an accomplished scholar of dragon magic; he can wield magical force in any way his imagination and willpower allow so long as he can envision what he wants in dragon form. He needs to physically weave his dragonforms, meaning his power can be limited or even suppressed altogether if his hand gestures are obstructed. He also needs to be able to focus, and more exotic applications of his magic require more concentration and time.

Dragonmage's most commonly used dragonform is a protection spell, where he creates a translucent emerald dragon around himself (and a small group of others if necessary) so that the dragon protects them from hostile environments and/or targeted attacks. This has proven sufficient to withstand the crushing pressures near a planet's core and the force of an exploding starship. For offence he will generally rely on dragonforms with flame or frost breath, or create a whole group of smaller dragonforms to entwine themselves around an opponent. His dragonforms can vary in size from large enough to threaten whole troops of soldiers to a small enough size to be able to covertly track targets. His versatility is really only limited by whatever he can imagine within the constraints of a dragonform, and he's even created a Speed Force dragon on one occasion to assist the Legion in travelling through time.

Dragonmage has also shown an ability to recognise the presence of magic such as when he made Nightwind aware of the true mystical nature of her powers, and he can commune to a very limited extent with nature elementals; he summoned earth dragons to heal the injuries of Blok and Stone Boy, and on one occasion even tamed a dragon imbued with the essence of death itself.

Aside from his abilities, he also obviously is well studied in the occult generally and is always working to improve his knowledge.

DOGSTAR

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: Rufus Remulus
Homeworld: Dalma
Group Affiliation: Legion of Superheroes
Height: 6' 4"
Weight: 195 lbs
Eyes: Golden energy
Fur: Pale yellow with more vibrant golden patches (as Dogstar is always surrounded by a golden aura of light, it is unknown if his eyes and fur are naturally shades of gold or if it's an illusion caused by his power effect)

HISTORY
Dogstar is Dalma's greatest superhero, but he has only recently come into contact with the United Planets. His first encounter with the UP was when his enemy Dr Cerberus mind-controlled him to fight both representatives of the Legion of Superheroes and his fellow Dalman heroes the Post-Atomic Knights. Dr Cerberus had intended on damaging Dogstar's reputation while simultaneously obtaining ancient Dalman knives for his own occult use, but the Legionnaires managed to foil his plans and free Dogstar when Matter-Eater Lad ate the choker which was keeping Dogstar under Dr Cerberus's control.

The Legion of Superheroes then assigned a squad to team up with Dogstar, confront Dr Cerberus in his own lair, and bring the villain to justice. The mission went off without a hitch, with both Dogstar and the Legion declaring that they would be happy to work with one another again in the future.

This declaration led to a more concrete relationship perhaps sooner than either party had expected. Dogstar has recently joined the Legion of Superheroes at the behest of his home planet Dalma, to act as a kind of goodwill ambassador and at the same time learn more about the United Planets that Dalma is in the process of joining. He has only been on the team a short time, but has already more than proven himself.

SKILLS & TALENTS
Dogstar is skilled in both hand-to-hand and ranged combat, but he has not yet exhibited any particular talents outside of the battlefield.

POWERS & WEAPONS
Dogstar is open about the fact that his powers have been bestowed upon him by the Dalman deity Solas, but the specific details of his origin have not yet been revealed. While his power levels haven't been formally categorised, it's generally accepted that he has roughly Daxamite-level flight, strength, speed, durability, stamina and his own equivalent of heat vision (thin golden eyebeams he refers to as his 'solar vision'). Dogstar has admitted that he doesn't have the same kind of visual senses as a Daxamite, but his sense of hearing seems at the very least comparable, and his sense of smell is so enhanced that he has been able to easily track scents on the ground while flying miles up in the atmosphere.

Dogstar is constantly surrounded by a soft golden nimbus of light. He has some ability to intensify his natural glow, but hasn't displayed any real applications outside of illuminating his immediate area. In every other respect it functions like ordinary light, but because it's an expression of divine power it also causes mild discomfort to creatures borne of evil magic.

THE POST-ATOMIC KNIGHTS
Base of Operations: usually Dalma
Current Members: none of the six group members have been individually named
Past Members: None known

TEAM HISTORY
The Legion of Superheroes first encountered the Post-Atomic Knights when the latter group came to Mars to try and recover a collection of ancient knives which had been taken from their world by United Planets Cultural Researchers. They fought Fire Lass and a small group of Legionnaires, and while they acquitted themselves well in battle they were ultimately not a match for the Legionnaires. At that time, it was revealed that two of the Knights are brother and sister but none of the Knights have yet been individually named.

The Post-Atomic Knights also showed an aggressive distrust of the United Planets during that encounter and a very casual attitude toward the safety of innocents endangered by their mission, but this may be more of a cultural misunderstanding than anything else. In their next encounter with the Legion, they had no trouble working alongside the heroes and in fact provided vital information to assist in their struggle against the mind-controlled Dalman hero Dogstar. It may be that Element Lad's efforts to restore their cultural artifacts to Dalma earned the Post-Atomic Knights' good will.

Each of the Post-Atomic Knights wear an identical suit of chrome armour which gives them some measure of protection from physical and energy attacks - the armour has protected them from Firecrest and Fire Lass's flame breath, but was able to be pierced by Firecrest's claws. Their armour covers them from head to toe, and the helmet even obscures their canine features. They also have hardlight emitters incorporated into their gauntlets which are capable of producing a pre-programmed array of melee weapons. In keeping with their theme, they generally use weapons associated with medieval knights such as swords, shields and lances but they've also been seen to use a hardlight net to ensnare opponents. The Post-Atomic Knights are all extremely capable in melee combat.

Finally, they all ride gravbikes which are capable of flying at high speeds. The gravbikes are greatly maneuverable, but offer less defence to attacks than their armour.

KID CHEMO

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: Roban Rosito
Homeworld: Zwen
Group Affiliation: last seen allied with Sharpshot Kid, former member of the Judgement League, former student of TARIK's Academy of Evil
Height: (human form) 5'4", (as Kid Chemo) 6'2"
Weight: (human form) 109 lbs, (as Kid Chemo) 279 lbs
Eyes: (human form) Brown, (Kid Chemo) no eyes
Hair: (human form) Black, (Kid Chemo) none

HISTORY
Roban Rosito in the present day of the 31st Century is a normal (though presumably with higher than average intellect) 14 year old native of Zwen. When Stone Boy stopped Sharpshot Kid and Kid Chemo from murdering Roban, Sharpshot Kid revealed that at some unspecified point in the near future Roban is destined to become a chemical engineer and suffer an accident that will destroy his human form and leave him a sentient mass of toxic chemicals that can't interact normally with others outside of a humanoid containment vessel.

Embittered, Rosito will name himself Kid Chemo and join TARIK's Academy of Evil alongside Sharpshot Kid and a new Light Lass. Not long after their entry into the Academy, the three will find themselves plucked out of the timestream to join Earth-Man's Judgement League in their past; the 31st century era just prior to Roban's fateful accident. While Light Lass declined to help Kid Chemo kill his past self as she was concerned about damage to the timestream, Sharpshot Kid was only too happy to assist his best friend and thus ensure he wouldn't have to live an eternal life devoid of his humanity.

Stone Boy (with some help from Lullabye Lad) saved Roban's life, but it's doubtful that Kid Chemo will let this go so easily...


POWERS & WEAPONS
Kid Chemo is a mass of bright green toxic sludge capable of dissolving just about any substance. His containment vessel is a humanoid shape and composed of some kind of transparent plastic immune to his acidity. It also incorporates a radiotelepathic transmitter, as his liquid form possesses no other way of communication. Even so, nobody has ever heard Kid Chemo speak so it's entirely possible that he may have a special link set up with Sharpshot Kid (who has referred to Kid Chemo as his best friend). Ports in the fingertips of the suit give Kid Chemo the ability to shoot out a stream of acidic chemicals potent enough to turn a Science Police droid into slag in a second, and the suit itself gives him a mild degree of super-strength and extreme durability to outside attacks.

Kid Chemo's acid is presumably regenerative as he never shows any concern about depleting himself in combat. Due to his unique form, he also no longer needs to eat, breathe or sleep to survive and is for all intents and purposes immortal.

LIGHT LAD

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: Darvan Locke
Homeworld: Winath
Group Affiliation: Legion of Superheroes
Height: 6' 6"
Weight: 180 lbs
Eyes: green
Hair: strawberry blond

HISTORY
Darvan Locke was working as an orderly at the Singleton Wellness Institute on Winath when Saturn Girl and Lightning Lass enlisted his help in their search for the missing Lightning Lad.

Lightning Lad had earlier come to the Institute to find the woman that his villainous brother Mekt (aka Lightning Lord) claimed to be his twin sister; Darvan's sister Davana. The Locke siblings were both born without a twin, an unusual happening on Winath. Davana had at some point become fixated on Lightning Lord, Winath's most infamous single birth, and her obsession with Mekt Ranzz had led to her institutionalisation. She believed that if only she could imbue herself with the same electrical powers the the Ranzz siblings all possessed, she could take her rightful place as Lightning Lord's twin sister.

Darvan and Davana's great-grandfather had invented the ultrasonic nets widely used by Winathian farmers to keep pests from their crops, so the Locke family had never wanted for money. This gave Davana Locke the resources she needed to create a machine capable of transferring powers from one of the Ranzzes to herself, and when Mekt sent Garth looking for her she finally had the subject she needed. Having gathered a cult of singleton followers around herself called the Fraterne Electre, Davana Locke herself took the name Lightning Lady and she very nearly succeeded in her mission to steal Garth Ranzz's powers for herself and her followers. Darvan stopped his sister's plot and destroyed her power transference machine, but in the process Davana somehow gained electrical powers anyway and Darvan found himself with the ability to negate gravity.

Calling himself Light Lad and wearing a costume similar to the one Ayla had once worn as Light Lass, Darvan received a warm welcome into the Legion of Superheroes. He and Ayla were friends with benefits for a while, and Ayla remains Light Lad's closest friend in the Legion (though Darvan is now dating Dr Kent Shakespeare). There was a significant amount of friction between Timber Wolf and Light Lad when Darvan first joined the team due to his closeness with Ayla, but the two men have long since resolved their issues.

Light Lad recently confronted his sister for the first time since the adventure in which the Locke siblings gained their powers. He tried his best to mend their relationship, but sadly discovered that Davana has now fully submerged herself in the identity of the murderous villain Lightning Lady. While Lightning Lady is locked safely away in Takron-Galtos for now, her cult the Fraterne Electre are still out there somewhere and there is no doubt their machinations will force Light Lad to stand against his sister again sooner or later...

POWERS & WEAPONS
Light Lad possesses the ability to negate gravity and even reverse it, the precise limits of which have never sufficiently been explored. He has easily levitated entire skyscrapers however, and on one occasion sent multiple clones of Validus into orbit.

On the other end of that scale, Darvan has also learned to be able to use his power to a lesser extent in the vacuum of space by manipulating microgravity emitted by any mass in his area. Potentially he could hone his manipulation of gravitic fields to the point that it mimics telekinesis, but he has not really developed his power to anywhere near that level of fine control.

LIGHTNING LADY

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: Davana Locke
Homeworld: Winath
Group Affiliation: Fraterne Electre
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 141 lbs
Eyes: green
Hair: auburn

HISTORY
Davana Locke was born without a twin, a rare and controversial event on Winath. Her younger brother Darvan was also a single birth, but the Locke parents had learned much raising their daughter and as a result Darvan was a lot better emotionally, psychologically and socially adjusted than his sister.

At some point Davana Locke became obsessed with Winath's most famous singleton, the villainous Lightning Lord. She convinced herself that she could become his twin if only she could steal the power of one of Mekt Ranzz's siblings in the Legion of Superheroes, and she began keeping in touch with Mekt while he served time on the prison planet Takron-Galtos. She also formed a cult around her named the Fraterne Electre, composed of other Winathian siblings. Though Davana was institutionalized at the Winathian Singleton Wellness Institute, her cult helped break her out and subdue Lightning Lad, who had come to meet Davana after Mekt claimed that she was in fact his secret twin.

In an effort to help rehabilitate his sister, Darvan Locke meanwhile had taken a job at the same institute as a medical orderly. When Saturn Girl and Lightning Lass came looking for the missing Lightning Lad, it was Darvan who told them of his sister's obsession with Lightning Lord and led them to Davana.

When Darvan, Lightning Lass and Saturn Girl found the newly rechristened Lightning Lady, she'd already used a device of her own making to duplicate Garth Ranzz's powers in herself and she was preparing to similarly empower the rest of the Fraterne Electre. Darvan stopped his sister's plot and destroyed her machine, but Davana kept the powers she'd given herself anyway and Darvan found himself with the ability to negate gravity.

Darvan and the Legionnaires thought that Lightning Lady had died when she was accidentally thrown from the clifftop laboratory into the treacherous sea below, but they found out several months later that she had in fact survived when she came after Lightning Lad a second time. This time around it was Lightning Lad and Bouncing Boy who defeated Lightning Lady, and ever since then she has been incarcerated in Takron-Galtos.

Lightning Lady's cult the Fraterne Electre recently murdered Storm Boy for his weather-control technology and mounted a suicide attack on Takron-Galtos to free their leader along with Lightning Lord. Light Lad and Lightning Lass prevented their siblings from escaping with some help from the Workforce, but it's only a matter of time until the Fraterne Electre make another attempt to free their beloved leader and the villain she has named as her twin.

POWERS & WEAPONS
Lightning Lady possesses the same power to generate and manipulate electricity as Lightning Lad. As she is a brilliant scientist, she has mastered her power more quickly than any of the Ranzz siblings did and she has at least one trick up her sleeve that none of them have exhibited - she can galvanize her own muscular system to give herself mildly superhuman strength and resistance.

Lightning Lady has claimed that she has the ability to track Lightning Lad as a result of the power duplication process, though it's unknown if this is true or if her delusions have simply convinced her this is the case.

Lightning Lady's cult, the Fraterne Electre, have not been individually identified as yet. They are Winathian singletons who have followed Lightning Lady for the promise of receiving the same kind of electrical powers that she has as they believe that this will bond them in a more meaningful way than the blood ties they have with their biological families. At last count, there were eleven other cult members besides Lightning Lady herself (though several of these sacrificed their lives in an attempt to free Lightning Lady and Lightning Lord from Takron-Galtos).

Man, Light Lad is TALL! Is it a Winathian thing? Reboot Garth was also quite tall, taller than all the other male Legionnaires save M'Onel.

Light Lad is pretty powerful, or at least skilled in using his power. I like how you write him as a realistic bisexual man.

Also: what are the chances of having two singleton births in a row? genetic component maybe?

Must be all that healthy farm livin'! I seem to remember Mekt as always being really physically imposing as well, but that could just be from everyone running around practically naked in the 5YL days

NEOCASTE

TEAM HISTORY
The Neocaste are the official superheroes of the so-called "Science Planet" Cadmu. While most Cadmians are genetic duplicates of their predecessor, the Neocaste are the combined product of two separate genelines. Their metagenes are activated during creation so that they each possess a unique superpower, though that power's manifestation is always unpredictable.

The existence of the Neocaste is widely unknown outside of their home planet. Elastic Lad is the exception to this rule as he won a planetary contest of champions to apply for membership in the Legion of Superheroes and he has spent most of his time since then as an active member of the Legion. The full roster of the Neocaste is unknown at this stage, but the following individuals have met the Legion of Superheroes at one point or another.

Just clicked in my mind that Lu-Lan is obviously a homage to Lucy Lane!

POWER BOY

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: Jedediah Rikane
Homeworld: Earth
Height: 6' 3"
Weight: 190 lbs
Eyes: orange
Hair: orange

HISTORY
Upon graduating the Legion Academy, Power Boy was recruited by Makkia Vei into the shadowy special ops team named the Oversight Watch. He served faithfully with the Watch for some time and even started a relationship with fellow member Dev-Em.

Though he kept it to himself, Jed was beginning to find himself with some of the team's shadier actions...on one particular mission when his team leader 89 faked her death and put the rest of her team at risk for the sake of the mission, that was the final straw for Power Boy. He underwent voluntary psychic redaction to purge his mind of team secrets and decided to find his own way to be a hero. The circumstances of his break-up with Dev-Em are unclear; due to the psychic redaction Power Boy no longer even remembers having been in a relationship with him at all.

Since leaving the Oversight Watch, Power Boy seems to have taken up a solo superheroic career on his homeworld Earth.

POWERS & WEAPONS
Power Boy can alter his density; at one extreme, he can become harder than diamond with strength to match, at the other extreme he can become completely intangible. He can set his density anywhere between these extremes, though hasn't found much use for this outside of giving himself a more malleable form to fit into confined spaces. Power Boy's purple skin darkens as he increases his density, and lightens as he becomes less dense.

AMP

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: Unknown, uses the alias Ming Sul
Height: 5' 5"
Homeworld: Lallor
Weight: 115 lbs
Eyes: black
Hair: black

HISTORY
Amp's history as she knows it is a lie. Her memories tell her that she was one of five mutants raised in secret in an underground bunker on the planet Lallor who then escaped captivity and joined the Heroes of Lallor. In reality, those five 'mutants' were ordinary Lalloran youths abducted and mindwiped by a Dominator for experimentation toward the creation of an army of B.I.O.N. (Biological Integrated Organic Network) units. The Dominator considered most of the subject group's powers to be useless and allowed them to join the Heroes of Lallor as potential sleeper agents to be activated at some point down the track, with the exception of the boy who would come to be known as Duplicate Boy II. He went so far as to give them the names of actual missing Lallorans for added legitimacy.

The Dominator implanted the B.I.O.N. imperative into Duplicate Boy's mind covertly over a course of months, a timetable which was sped up when Gas Girl asked the Legion of Superheroes' Espionage Squad to investigate these new members who'd joined her old team. When the Legionnaires and the Heroes of Lallor teamed up to confront the Dominator, Duplicate Boy's B.I.O.N. programming was made dominant and he came close to killing everyone present.

Tired of dealing with the fallout of rogue metahumans (and no doubt trying to save face for their unspecified support of the Dominator's work), Lallorgov consequently outlawed metahumans from the planet. With nowhere else to go and feeling both betrayed and guilty for her unwilling role in the Heroes of Lallor's downfall, Amp relocated to Mars and joined the Legion Academy with Key Kid (the only other confirmed survivor of her batch of experiment subjects).

POWERS & WEAPONS
Amp can amplify any one characteristic in a target, be it a natural trait or a metahuman power. Amplifying a subject's powers can present the target with control issues, and doesn't necessarily give them the stamina to wield the greater output effectively. When she first met the Heroes of Lallor, Amp used her power to force Evolvo Lad to devolve to an almost mindless amphibian creature, and she threatened to amplify Gas Girl's power to make her dissipate completely. She can however also modify the intensity of her power to present less risk to the subject while still amplifying a chosen trait.

RON-KARR
PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: Ron-Karr
Homeworld: Neptune
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 131 lbs
Eyes: black
Hair: black

HISTORY
When Ron-Karr tried to join the Legion of Superheroes and failed, he embarked on a long and unremarkable career of villainy. When the covert UP group now known as the Oversight Watch were recruiting founding members, they found Ron-Karr in jail and offered him membership as an alternative to serving his sentence. For quite a while he served with the Oversight Watch and he even teamed up with the Legion of Superheroes on a couple of occasions. He learned to use his powers in more offensive ways while with the Watch, and his life was generally on an uphill trajectory.

Ron-Karr ruined all of this progress when he perfected his ability to beome two-dimensional and found that he could access a 2D world named Flatland. With the advantage of his 3D presence in a 2D world, he terrorised the Flatlanders for weeks. In desperation, a coven of Flatland mystics eventually summoned the people who'd most often defeated Ron-Karr in the past to deal with him; the Legion of Superheroes. Chameleon Boy almost single-handedly defeated Ron-Karr and told the Oversight Watch's leader 89 what he'd been up to. Ron-Karr's membership in the Oversight Watch was revoked, and he was immediately sent back to jail to continue serving the jail sentence they'd originally liberated him from.

POWERS & WEAPONS
Ron-Karr has the ability to flatten his body to an almost two-dimensional state. While he was with the Oversight Watch, 89 trained him to be able to use the flat edge of his body as a sharper than razor cutting instrument. His ability to appear almost invisible side-on combined with his hypersharp cutting edge made him a surprisingly dangerous opponent in hand-to-hand combat, and eventually he even learned to hone his power enough to enter a truly two-dimensional realm known as Flatland.

The training he underwent with 89 was redacted from his memory when he was removed from the Oversight Watch, so presumably he is once again limited to more pedestrian uses of flattening himself such as being able to hide more easily or gaining access to places that others can't.

REVENANT

PERSONAL DATA
Real Name: Unknown, used the alias Stev Cohn
Homeworld: Lallor
Height: 6' 10"
Weight: 258 lbs
Eyes: black
Hair: bald

HISTORY
Once upon a time, the Lalloran named Duplicate Boy II was one of five Lalloran youths kidnapped, mindwiped and experimented upon by a Dominator in an effort to create an army of B.I.O.N. (Biological Integrated Organic Network) units. The Dominator considered most of the subject group's powers to be useless and allowed them to join the Heroes of Lallor as potential sleeper agents to be activated at some point down the track, with the exception of Duplicate Boy II. He went so far as to give them the names of actual missing Lallorans for added legitimacy, and as far as any of the five were concerned they were simply Lalloran mutants who'd lived in a bunker their whole lives until circumstances led to their escape and their recruitment into the Heroes of Lallor.

Gas Girl asked the Legion of Superheroes' Espionage Squad to investigate the Heroes of Lallor's newest recruits, and this led to a team-up between the two groups. They confronted the Dominator behind everything, and he activated Duplicate Boy II's B.I.O.N. programming to protect himself. As B.I.O.N., Duplicate Boy II came very close to killing both teams. With only Evolvo Lad and Amp left in any condition to face Duplicate Boy II on a powerless aircraft plummeting out of control to their doom, Evolvo Lad telepathically activated Amp's power against Duplicate Boy II in a desperate attempt to overwhelm him. Evolvo Lad and Amp both blacked out as soon as that happened, and it took them a long time to learn what happened while they were unconscious.

Amp's power pushed Duplicate Boy II to evolve himself to a point where he had complete control of his psyche, and also his body on an atomic level. He easily freed himself of the B.I.O.N. brainwashing, dropped his unconscious friends off at their home, and then using an evolved version of Dawnstar's speed he fled halfway across the known universe in mere seconds. Duplicate Boy II realised that his powers were too dangerous to remain unchecked. He removed his ability to mimic other powers, while keeping upgraded versions of the powers he'd already copied from Evolvo Lad, Life Lass, Key Kid, Brittle, Chameleon Boy, Shrinking Violet and Dawnstar. He drastically changed his appearance so nobody would be able to recognise him; with Brittle's chalk-white skin, Dawnstar's wings, Evolvo Lad's hyperextended cranium and Chameleon Boy's antennae he also removed his mouth and nose to complete the transformation. Renaming himself Revenant, the former Duplicate Boy launched himself on a new mission to exterminate every Dominator in existence.

On this self-appointed mission, he came across Star Boy and the Uncanny Amazers and easily dealt with the lot of them after killing some Dominators. Star Boy later led a team of Legionnaires in pursuit and came across Revenant fighting the Oversight Watch on board another Dominator vessel. The truth came out about Revenant's true nature thanks to Makkia Vei, and working together the Legion of Superheroes and the Oversight Watch were able to stop him before he murdered the last living Dominator on board.

When last seen, Revanant was in the custody of the Oversight Watch awaiting therapy to deal with his monumental trauma.


POWERS & WEAPONS
Originally, Duplicate Boy II had the power to mimic the superhuman powers of any one person within a twenty foot range. He instinctively knew how to control the powers he'd taken on, and any associated defences (or vulnerabilities for that matter) were included in the package. A side effect of his power allowed him to recognise when in the presence of a metahuman, and to know what their powers were (which once helped him identify Gas Girl spying on him even though she was an odorless colourless gas). Duplicate Boy showed some talent for strategy and tactical planning.

Once his B.I.O.N. programming was activated, Duplicate Boy II showed the ability to master several targets' powers simultaneously and even to mix them in custom ways (for example, combining Dawnstar's speed with Brittle's ability to break apart into smaller bodies to essentially become a sentient hail of bullets). It wasn't entirely clear whether this was an innate power the Dominator unlocked or if it was the effect of him using Amp's power to boost his own.

As Revenant, he no longer possesses his ability to mimic powers. He does however now permanently possess enhanced versions of the powers of Evolvo Lad, Life Lass, Key Kid, Brittle, Chameleon Boy, Shrinking Violet and Dawnstar and like when was B.I.O.N. he is able to combine these abilities for various purposes. As Revenant no longer possesses a mouth, he communicates solely via telepathy.
