![Picture](/uploads/1/9/1/2/19128159/2641856.jpg?424)
With the assumed destruction of their BioMech enemies, Todd Ticket and his allies decide to set up shop in their enemies abandoned underground headquarters and work to rebulid their previous lives as heroes of action.
In the wake of BioMech's destruction, local and international rival companies now begin to take hold of the crime markets the lost syndicate left behind.
And little do Todd and his friends realize that BioMech has been in the market, for years, and have established a wide, global reach. They take it upon themselves to undo the evil their 'products' have caused.

Forkliftman
Real name: Brad Cavanaugh
Affiliation: Independent villain Temperament: Patient, hard-working, focused on his work, determined, stable, hard to provoke, and without hope. Weapons/Equipment: His giant, forklift-like tank vehicle is fully bullet proof. Made from two forklifts it has a full-range of reach and capabilities, including a high-voltage anti-intruder defense system. Multiple telescoping joints allow it to stretch or reach in almost every direction. And runs on diesel fuel. Skills/Abilities: Brilliant design engineer used to build cranes, bridges, |
and buildings for a living. Now he uses his intelligence, creativity, and schooling to destroy them.
Preferred Strike: Low gear; run ya over, squash 'em flat...
Another tired, brilliant, overworked, engineer supervisor who was let go from his company… with his team's hard-fought project rejected and only a week left to retire.
Pressured by his over-anxious, self-absorbed, and controlling wife Brad threw caution to the wind. Building a tank-like super forklift in his garage he used it to break into and steal bank vaults: the ENTIRE vault. With his forklift-tank he tears out the entire bank vault and drives away with it.
After a run of bank jobs Ticket receives his functioning L.A.W. design and successfully tests it out on Forkliftman, stopping him.
But during the difficulty of the fight it is Forkliftman's tank that give The Claw the ideas he needs for his finalized phase of his C.L.A.W. weapons.
In jail Brad gratefully is served divorce papers and he considers it a relief.
But his days of being Forkliftman are far from over.

Terror Dactyl
Using the same technology stolen from Gravitous the Company C publicly announced that this anti-gravity flight/drill suit was also ‘stolen.’ In all actuality David was hired to use the suit and technology to hunt down and locate the other secrets from their competitors (like The Claw) and find Gravitous so they can take the rest of his technology as well!
Company C’s answer to Blue Lightening-showing that they are not the only company to develop flight capable technology. Utilizes the claw technology of The Claw… in the beak, allowing “Terror Dac” to fly through solid objects! ‘Claw beak’ also separates into two ‘mouth’ halves. Claw also folds backwards in on itself to allow the wearer’s face to be seen… something Todd’s claw does not do. They are able to get away with duplicating The Claw’s technology because it does not exist on any public record! (But everyone knows where it came from.) Super-sharp ‘buzz (bird) saw wings’ are also sonically sharp and will also cut through objects. Talons and clawed feet are designed for perching on vertical surfaces. Helmet enhanced with spy gear, similar to The Claw’s sensory-enhancing helmet gear. |
Maneater
Originally a prissy brat whom Todd frequently associated with during his time at a local gym while he was training to be The Claw. She was a gymnast who competed internationally. She turned him down for dating several times.
One day she agreed, hungrily, to go out with him. But on her date she was more than forward, putting her ‘hands’ on him under the table (at least, he thought they were hands) and he had to aggressively turn her down. He left her and she followed – and attacked with vicious aggression… and terrifying results! Her face opened up like a flower to hideous spine-like teeth. Frond-covered vines erupted from her back, dripping with venomous needle-claws and tried to ensnare him. She already smelled appetizing before and now released an almost overpowering sugary-hormone trying to overcome his will. Only with his experience as The Claw was he able to escape. Able to look completely human or appear as a monstrous, |
vine/weed creature she is able to lure her prey in with her appealing hormones and looks. Can create flowers, vines, thorns, and petals to lure in unassuming men… for meals!
When The Claw defeats her she retreats into the sewers to wait for another day, and another way, to strike! Her dad's side of the story: Her father is a biology scientist currently working with plant life. He got tired of his daughter’s prissy, over-flirtatious, and dating-zealous ways. She seemed to enjoy dumping/hurting men’s hearts more than their company. Hoping to alleviate her vicious ways he slipped bits of some plant extract formula her power drinks, hoping to make men by turned off to her. This continued on for months and her father was anxious for a reaction. But he was wrong – dead wrong. Instead of turning men off to her she got worse. She attracted them to her like flies to honey. She started to suck from them even more – time, money, emotions, etc. Over time she became dangerous as she started to attack them – with the intent to drink their blood dry! He found out too late that she’d been slipping her the extract of a Venus flytrap, and now men were her meals! Desperate to escape with his life he ran – hoping to never face his dear daughter, and the truth he had to give her, again. Eventually, The Claw caught up with him and he was forced to reveal everything. The Claw was now forced to deal with the daughter he didn’t dare to discipline! Worked at Fleetwood University before he ran. |
Impersonator
Professional Actor
Tired of there ‘never a cop around when you need one’ he decided to become one with just a few props, costume, and dialogue. Then he decided to be The Claw – because he’s a fan… Student at Fleetwood college where Todd Ticket attends; he takes every class he possibly can to be able to fill the role of ‘hero.’ Impersonator’s nemesis is a fellow actor-a character actor who thinks he is playing the part of a criminal rockstar. The character is a rockstar who realizes he can get more publicity blowing things up and killing people than doing rock concerts. It started when a person was killed at his concert by being trampled to death. Surprising everyone, he started to do things to encourage such violent acts from his fans. Then he started to do them himself until he’d sunk in too far. He realized the cops couldn’t touch him because he was already a big star so things escalated quickly. The character’s nemesis is a tough, bad cop who has no problem blowing things up also just to try and stop him! (Jack Slade-type character). Impersonator is asked by The Claw to play the part of the ‘good guy’ to help distract the character actor so that he can stop him. In the end, when The Claw helps stop him, the character actor only goes down because Impersonator takes him out, claiming the script said so! Accomplice
Aleshia Complice
Professional Actress Impersonator’s partner in crime… more or less. Also a student at Fleetwood college. |
Psychopart
The role of a lifetime
Impersonator and Accomplice’s arch enemy-Character Actor Down on his luck character actor, he finally landed the role of a lifetime: a psychopathic villain in an ongoing comic series. Determined to ‘own’ the part he allowed himself to slip into the character role and is determined to not come out again until after the film is completed. Problem is: halfway through the film they cut the project – but the actor’s character refused to go away, convinced that a ‘better performance’ will keep the showing running! He’ll never come out until the film’s complete… but there are always the chance for sequels!

Because he’s such a monster in real life The Halloween King offers him a chance to become a real monster! He hasn’t said ‘yes’… yet because he feels it’s not part of the script.

Highway Bandit
The little guy, Hot Rod Hotties, & Bandit ghost
Highwayman vigilante Armed with a rocket-powered, magnetically-shielded motorcycle. Fashioned himself to look like the original Bandit ghost, even has silver bullets. Liked the idea of fighting freeway/highway crime for a ‘good cause’ like the original Bandit did. In his travels he gets a surprise, the ghost of the real Bandit, who not only teaches him how to be a better ‘him,’ but also offers him some ghostly help/protection as well. People think he’s crazy when they spot him ‘talking to himself,’ because he’s the only one who can see the original Bandit ghost. |
Originally fought crime with just his motorcycle on the highways leading to Cycle City when there were no cops about (bad hitchhikers, kidnappers, bail-jumpers, bank robbers trying to escape town, etc.)
He eventually caught the eye of Sundown, who decided to reward him by upgrading his motorcycle to take on bigger bad guys. He provided a magnetic shield-generator that would repel bullets, shotgun shells, and some types of cars (if they were to try and run him off of the road). He also armed him with mines, missile launchers, rear flamethrowers, and extendable, metal, front and rear shields.
