The Claw-Phase 3
Real name: Todd Ticket
Affiliation: Prof. Emile Cloward's memory and Intellect Defense Temperament: Grieving, driven, desperate, angry, and more powerful than ever before: dangerous. Preferred Strike: Double diamond-clawed swipe to the torso. Powers/Abilities: Retractable, triple-jointed twin drill/4 claws, one on each hand, able to fire a quarter of a mile from each hand and connected by a ionic-bond version of a magnetic tractor beam. ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT: The Claw and his L.A.W.’S go through many variations and designs, from his rough model (which almost cost him his job and his life) to a secondary model (which sported a lethal, alien laser) to the high-powered, non-lethal, crowd control model. Eventually also has his ROBOLaw (robo-suit for giant opponents like Forkliftman), Clutch SUV (Based off of/looks like an ‘Escalade), Grasp Motorcycle, and Vice Hover-chopper. Plus, dual, wrist mini-LAW’s on chains under his street clothes. Eventually his ROBOLaw is outfitted for deep space! DRILL/CLAW: Able to drill through solid metal or concrete with diamond-tipped drills and crush car engines with hydraulic claws. When fully extended the claws are also able to deflect bullets when spinning. Claw ‘blades’ contain multiple dual-directions ‘hinges’ for versatility. SHOCK BALLS: The center of the open claws can rapidly firing ionic bond balls, charged with a burst of static electricity, capable of rendering circuitry useless and stunning living tissue. A fully charged hit to a man will render him unconscious. Interior of claws also contain ionic-bond firing ion cannons, capable of rendering electronic equipment worthless and living tissue unconscious. FIRING CLAWS: Claws are fired off with a combination of electromagnetic/harmonic repulsors. The repulsors are specifically tuned to the claw’s harmonic frequency so that they will pull back or launch out, instead of attracting/retracting anything else. This allows The Claw to swing from them and call them back. They also make formidable projectile weapons, as they can be fired as either drills or claws. HOLD TO SURFACE: Interior of claws and bottom of boots contain alien ionic bonding substance, enabling him to stick to surfaces. When charged, this substance will permanently bond with any surface it touches, making it part of the surface itself. Removing the charge will remove the bond. FUTURE: Later will be able to fire a liquid ionic-bond for trapping targets in place. HELMET: Helmet includes various filtering/analyzing/sensory-boosting/scanning/weaponized equipment. Eventually he will be able of firing a high-frequency transmission beam directly at a target’s inner ear-messing up their equilibrium and rendering them incapable. Ticket can target with his eyes by looking at his target. External speakers and internal functions are all voice activated. |
Bionica
Real name: UNKNOWN
Affiliation: UNKNOWN Temperament: Fun-loving, adventurous, a bit on the wild side, flirtatious, reckless, compationate, and head-strong. Weapons/Equipment: IONIC BOND AMPLIFIED HYDROLIC SKELETON: Looking completely human on the outside, Bionica is mostly machine held together by ionic bond on the inside. Her bones have been ioniclly bonded to a complex series of hydrolic lift mechanisims, giving her incredible strength. She is also able to jump high, run fast, and do things no other human could do. Unfortunately, the ionic bond requires a steady stream of electricity in order to remain functional. A small compartment of batteries is installed in her that feeds a steady stream of electricity to her individual systems. These batteries need to be changed regularly. Without the constant flow of electrical current the machines that give her incredible power would kill her. DUAL, MINI-RAIL GUNS: Carries two, pop-up, internal mini-rail guns in each forearm. The designs were slopped together after extensive research into Dead Bolt’s rail gun. The designs were not stolen-they were figured out by working hard and spying on Dead Bolt. DUAL, IONIC-BONDING EXOSKELETON HANDS: Thin, small exo-skeleton, robotic hands grab down, latch onto, and bond with her hands when not in use. They are designed to be the same color and pattern as her own hands as to be undetectable when not in use. FIRING HER EXO-HANDS: A thin, filament cord is wound tight in a quick-release spool near the base of the elbow. With small explosions it can be shot out and used as a grappling hook or weapon, which can be swung from. Maximum 2 city block range. This is the technology Ticket's mentor traded for access to the ionic bond, not knowing what it's intentions would be used for. MULTIPLE INTERNAL COMPARTMENTS: Trained as an escape artist, Bionica has multiple tools hidden inside and throughout her body that |
Bomb Chelle
Real name: Michelle Baum
Affiliation: Crime Shark Temperament: Cool, calm, calculating, patient, agile, nimble... and angry. Powers/Abilities: Her body transforms her body’s sweat into nitroglycerin which is secreted through her fingernails. One slash and the target is going to go ‘boom.’ She also has natural body cooling temperatures as well as an uncanny agility intended to keep the nitro at bay. Her abilities are powered by the ‘Prowl’ drug as a birth defect. She joined the attack against the jail to free Chime Shark after he was captured by The Claw along with Triplicate, Dead Bolt, and Big Bear. |
Heartbreak
Real name: UNKNOWN
Affiliation: Crime Shark Temperament: Sassy without the sweet. Willing to play the con long enough for a single touch. Then her real side comes out - conniving and mean. Powers/Abilities: She has the ability to put any type of emotion of any degree into a person via touch – rendering them incapable, incoherent, and able to be manipulated. If she puts too much of the wrong kind of emotion into someone she may possible kill them. Touch goes through armor or energy-as long as there is some type of contact. Another child affected by the drug ‘Prowl’ birth defect. All ‘Prowl’ birth defect individuals gain their ‘ability’ from their most prominent natural talent/emotional feature-it amplifies their strengths in odd and unique ways. |

Real name: UNKNOWN
Affiliation: Innovative Inc. Temperament: Loves to create streams of crimson. Considers himself to be a good guy but kills bad guys without a trial. Powers/Abilities: Rides the prototype of The Gray Gargoyle’s heavily armored anti-gravity Bullet Sled weapon platform. After its theft Innovative Inc.’s CEO decided to wait, create a new version of the weapon, and release it under a different theme – so that no one would link the two together and ruin the good name they are trying to create.

He wears dual gauntlets that fire binding cables intended to draw prey into his retractable, motor-driven chainsaws.
His heavy-armored mask was based off of killer ants in South America. It merges into the Bullet Sled for flight, has tracking abilities similar to The Claw’s, and can stop bullets. The mask’s blades are razor sharp.
Another out of work steel worker who was hired by Innovative Inc.’s CEO, following Prof. Carter’s suggestions to help take responsibility for putting so many out of work. Despite his good change of fortune he became disgruntled when he himself became a victim of the increase in the crime rate. When he learned that his employer was also secretly creating agents to help control the crime rate but only using pacifist force and weapons he decided to take matters into his own hands. He saw how the weapons had destructive and lethal capabilities but was upset that the CEO was making it only to capture! Stealing the prototype armor, weapons, and Bullet Sled intended for The Gray Gargoyle he set out on a mission of vengeance… with lethal tendencies. Fearing that the prisons and legal systems don’t work he decided to make the streets safer… by permanently removing those responsible for making them unsafe!
