(Who is Phantasm?)
The Serpent: The top of
the dress looked like a thick, stiff, long sleeved shirt with a hood attached
at the back; it was heavy but not cumbersome. It was actually two pieces; an
under shirt and a vest. The vest was a protection from knives, but wouldn’t
stop bullets. Both are reinforced leather specially treated, making it strong,
but light. The hood was actually a cowl; the pattern of a snakehead covered the
mask, except for eye slots. The shirt and cowl was a dark green so it looked
black. The pattern was a dark purple, curving sensually from her head over her
right shoulder and down across her chest, as if a snake was wound around her
body. The tight pants were the same dark green, with reinforced leather. The
continuation of the snake pattern ran down to her right hip, across her right
thigh and to the left thigh, then down her shin and ankle. She wore knee high
black boots. She wore a fingerless glove of the same color and material, it
went up her forearm to just under the elbow. The top looked like the chamber of
a gun. This held a clip of small needles, each with enough anesthesia to knock
out a full-grown man. She also wore hip holsters containing dark purple batons,
and winding along the length of each was a purple snake. The Serpent rides a
Vincent Black Lightning motorcycle.
Shadow
Master: Lanky, broad shoulders, and thick brown hair, he wore brass knuckles
embedded in gloves on each hand, and was dressed in a dark blue dress shirt and
matching pants, which were tucked into brown combat boots. He wore a custom fit
mask, and an ephemeral cloak of shadow twining itself around him like a living
thing, disappearing into the darkness around him. A smoky gray leather duster
topped off the suit.
American
Steel wore a gray domino mask – this was updated later into a blue leather cowl
that concealed his light golden hair, as well as his identity. A dark gray
turtleneck shirt and pants was his original outfit. Later, his suit became a
nylon that clung to his muscled body. The cowl attached to a blue shirt, and
now he wears dark red pants, and off-white knee-high boots. To match the boots
he now wore off-white fingerless gloves. He is big, can heal his injuries in
minutes, jump three flights into the air, and is the strongest man alive.
Alice
Seymour was raised in the home with a drunkard father that beat her and her
mother. She always tried to escape into her tree house with the aide of her two
friends, Marco and Lionel. When her mother is killed during a robbery, her
aunt, Diane Miller and her husband Logan take her in to their home. Her father
ends up in jail. Little does she know that Aunt Diane had once been a
superhero, highly trained in the martial arts.
Logan
Miller, Diane’s husband is a reporter with the Chronicle, and has calloused
boxing hands. He’s also trying to uncover the syndicate operating in Jet City.
Gerald
Allen is a doctor with a special power of healing. His daughter, Rose Allen is
also special, a genius in mechanics and invention.
Mrs.
Frost is now old, and uses a cane to get around, but she had been the first
Serpent in Jet City. Taught by a master of the martial arts, she protected the
city until too old to continue. She ten selected Diane Miller as her
replacement, teaching her the skills she would need as the vigilante. Mrs.
Frost, Diane Miller, and Logan Miller are trying to uncover the mastermind
running the local crime syndicate.
