Evelyn Everett has a repuation as being a ruthless businesswoman, if not a stone cold bitch, though it's obvious to her that everything she does is with the public's best interests at heart. She's also well-known for her animosity towards costumed crimefighters and superheroes, or at least her opinion that humanity shouldn't depend on them exclusively. How much of that is her real feelings and how much of is a smokescreen is open for debate to those who know her secret... when she's done wheeling and dealing, she dones a billowing cape and protects the city built by her forefathers as Storm Siren. Her powers include control of the wind and lightning manipulation. Her commanding presence and keen mind have made Storm Siren the de facto leader of the small, tight-knit Nebula City supercommunity... a group the local media have dubbed "Stormfront" in her honor. Evelyn lives for her twelve year old daughter, Rain. When her cousin, the villainess Rhyme, targeted Rain with one of her schemes, Evelyn's response as Storm Siren was seen as so out of proportion that Rhyme was able to get a restraining order against her. |

Identical twin daughters of the Grace the Amazon queen and the powerhouse hero Might. Athena Wisdom inherited their mother's power upon her death, as has always been the case for the royal family of the Amazons. Through some mystical quirk, Might's powers were caught up in the spell of transference and passed to Minerva. Even more astonishing, the twins later realized that because of their identical DNA, they could swap individual powers at will. Today, the Wisdom Twins function as public superheroes while running an independent book store and coffee shop called the Owlery in Nebula City. The inhabitants have embraced them, perhaps in an attempt to make up for turning their backs on the heroes who defended their city a generation ago. Athena is patient and forgiving, but Minerva may very well hold some bitterness within her. |

Brothers Beau and Ford LeChamp carried the Calder adaptation gene dormant within their bodies until lightning struck the baton during the hand-off in a relay race. Beau's body reacted to the lightning strike, of which he took the brunt, while Ford was hit with the concussive blast of air that followed. They both found themselves able to move and act at superhuman speeds. When Beau runs, he builds up a distinctive corona of electricity that he can channel. Ford surrounds himself with a field of kinetic energy that allows him to produce sonic booms and concussive blasts. Beau, forced by his powers to abandon his dream of becoming an Olympic runner, accepted a special scholarship to the university in Nebula City. When Ford graduated, he followed his brother, and when Beau announced his intention to use his powers as a superhero, Ford once again tagged along... if only to keep an eye on his impetuous older brother. |
