Superman meets Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Though not cast, I REALLY liked the idea and his further powers would have been purchased by steampunk inspired devices and equipment.

Clark Kent - Back Story

John Utterson, friend to Henry Jekyll, also works for Lex Luthor as a lawyer and business partner. They were roommates in University and together started a company that invests in many things; Namely inventions, medicines, and steam powered technology. Unamely, to which the good intentioned Utterson mostly ignores, crime, smuggling, and political lobbying.

It didn't take long for Lex Luthor to find out about the mysterious potion that turned the likable Jekyll into the dastardly Hyde. But it wasn't the monstrous change that interested him. It was the younger and stronger parts that encouraged his acquisition and continued testing of the potion. In less than a year, modifications to the original Hyde Potion developed the J-L 1 Serum. (Jekyll-LondonLabs 1; Read: Jor-El)

---
Enter Johnathan Kent, a scientist at London Labratory. Leading the research and testing of the Hyde Potion and J-L serum, Johnathan was the head of the departmen and determined that the Hyde Potion and J-L serum had too many side effects. Aggression, cruelty, and an overwhelming lack of remorse drove most subjects insane and required them to be put down. All without the anticipated gain in strength and extended health early hypotheses had projected. The project was put on the back burner and other ventures were pursued.

---
Until Clark was run over by a carriage. The sixteen year old son of Johnathan Kent was struck by the horse drawn buggy while distributing papers for the London News. He was old for a paperboy, but had stuck with it in the hopes of one day being a writer.

Johnathan didn't know what to do. Medicine was failing and Clark was circling the drain. He poured hours into the lab in hopes of finding something that would cure his son of his life threatening injuries. He began fresh with the J-L formula and eventually added his own DNA to the serum, labeling it K-L for Kent-LondonLabratory.

The transformation was tremendous and almost immediate. Clark regained the use of his leg within the day and recovered from his fever almost instantly. But before Johnathan could report the success, Clark's side effects began to kick in as well. Along with being able to hear conversations two houses away, his eyesight becoming more acute, and developing a faster healing rate; Kent's strength had increased exponentially. The K-L serum was nearly a complete success.

So much a success that Dr. Kent hesitated to reveal his findings. In the wrong hands, the drug could turn the entire United Kingdom into super soldiers and start a world war. Dr. Kent decided the world changing discovery was better kept a secret.

---
Fast forward two years. After taking the serum repeatedly, Clark has grown accustomed to the new powers and the occasional side effect of a lost temper. His father refers to him as a 'Super Man', but Clark hates the term.

Johnathan gave the boy a choice: Stop taking the drug and destroy all evidence of its existance, or continue with the condition that he had to use his powers to better man kind.

Clark chose to take the drug. After a few months on his own, tromping through the streets of London in an attempt to stop evil doers, Clark was inducted into the Guild of the Bat and began training. The first year left him on the sidelines more than not, but Alfred has been sending him out more and including him in the team ventures recently. He has yet to find a name for his hooded alter ego, but with a small mask over his eyes and blackened, leather armor, Clark Kent works to protect mankind and London.

Secret: The K-L Formula: Clark tries to keep his reliance on the K-L version of the Hyde Potion from the Guild, Luthor and the London Labratories, and any enemies he may encounter. The "only" person that knows is his father.
Temper: A side effect of the K-L serum is Clark's temper tends to wildly explode into violent fits. (Affliction(Mind Control) Rank based on time and severity) Though he's not entirely sure, Clark has linked the outbursts and short fuze to when he hasn't seen the sun in a while. Late nights and cloudy days can be a tough combination.

Living weapon character that has become a living, moving, reshapable metal.

Name: Katana
Age: 28 at time of transformation

Physical: A female version of Silver Surfer, Katana is a sleek metalic silver-grey from head to toe. Her arms and legs are re-shapable to make all of her attacks edged and dangerous. She was built for fighting and taking hits.

History: A meta with object mimicry that was tested and manipulated to take on a permanent, living metal structure. The experiment was also run with training to create a super soldier. But the subject was caught and abandoned because of too many imperfections, including: She wasn't as robotic/unemotional as they'd hoped and was still completely harm-able, though much more durable, and injuries healed slower than normal human wounds.

When caught, she faced a 'life sentence' of 100 years before she would be terminated. When the suicide squad picked her up, she took the chance to relieve her own boredom and continue what she had been trained to do. She does have an implanted kill switch, like the others, but it is slightly different as she is slightly different. It has the exact same restrictions and effects though.

Sophia Kelt
13 year old Female
Zombie Survivor
Ninja In Training



Sophia hid. She was small and could crawl into places others couldn't. She'd always been an able climber and a nimble gymnast, to the stress of her mother, and her mousy nature found her curled up in small places all the time. When the outbreak got bad, Sophia was on her way home from school. She had been chased by a biter and climbed up and away to hide. She stayed in that tree for two days while chaos and hell broke loose below.

When she felt safe enough to descend, and her hunger had grown too great, Sophia made her way to her abandoned home. Her parents were gone or otherwise absent and Sophia hid again. And she continued to hide until she was discovered by an elderly woman named Doris Hink. Sophia's story is nothing without Doris's, a widow before the outbreak and a real go getter in her day. Doris's problem wasn't motivation or will power, it was a seventy five year old body that didn't go like it used to. She became the brains of her and Sophia's little operation, Sophia being the able bodied go-fer. Doris would give Sophia instructions and Sophia would do the tasks. Climbing to unscrew something, going to the basement to bring up tools, scouting the nearby homes to get food. Together, they survived for three weeks like this, storing food and supplies and avoiding any conflict with the undead.

But when things got too bad to stay in Vegas any longer, Sophia found them a car and Doris drove, as best she could, into a small pack of zombies. If not for the heroics of James Coy, an injured neighbor and fellow survivor, they would have died in that car. James had fallen behind in an earlier attempt to get out of the city because of a broken leg. Unknown to him, this injury had saved his life because the group he'd been with never made it out of town alive. In the three weeks he'd been cooped up inside, the leg had healed enough that he was able to get to Sophia and Doris, and get them moving again. The fact that he had a gun may have helped some too.

The three headed for the man-made lake and found the community at Montelogo Resort. As three capable survivors, with supplies, they had been welcomed in. At the opening of this campaign, Sophia will be figuring out her place in the community as some think she's too young to help, while others think she should be required to help to keep up her share. The young, small, and quiet youth has dealt with a lot of growing up in the last two months, having seen terrible and frightening things. Sophia thinks she should be allowed to go on retrieval missions and scout because she had been doing it with Doris for quite some time. It's something she's good at. She has a fierce loyalty to Doris and a less, but still strong connection to James. (Free NPCs for the GM to use)

Gravity Boy!

Identity: Kit [Family Last Name]
Gender: Male
Age: Adjustable 15 to 19
BIO: Kit, despite his variable background, is able to control the local Gravity on objects, allowing him to mimic super-strength and hold people in place. Adjusting the gravity around him, he is able to enhance his own stamina and strength, leap tall buildings, and walk on surfaces other humans wouldn't be able to walk on. Though he can't fly, (yet, he insists) he is working on it and hopes to figure it out by his next birthday.

At least that's what he tells his one and a half million Facebook fans. Kit, being an attractive, young, super-hero teen, has quite the fan base in young media. He manages a higher tweet count and scream level index than most boy bands. At his parent's direct order, he keeps his identity secret though he's been tempted to take off the mask by many sources for a lot of money. This certainly adds to the mystery and intrigue that fuels his popularity, but his attention seeking personality clashes with his mother and father's safety first point of view. He doesn't see a problem with appearing in a few advertisements, supporting local business, and giving a small wink or smile to the cameras. His father sees these actions as childish while Kit sees it as a way to pad his allowance. The point of contention, as well as the mob gathering of teens that should be fleeing, can sometimes be a hassle, but Kit can't help doing what comes natural to him as a hormone driven teenager.
