About Gravitar

Even when she was a child, Erica d’Monstressart was always regarded as gifted. Born into a wealthy family, from an early age she displayed an intelligence, social sense, and beauty that made her the envy (or subject of admiration) of everyone who knew her.

But Erica was more gifted than even her most ardent admirers suspected. When she was still young, she discovered she had a strange ability no one else did — she could manipulate gravity. Smart enough to realize she shouldn’t tell anyone about this, or show off her abilities in public, she kept her superpowers a secret.

Given her power, and the way she was used to getting what she wanted when she wanted it, it would come as no surprise to an expert in super-criminal psychology that the idea of ruling the world crept into her head as she got older. Disguising herself with a mask, she began to test her powers against the police, and then the army, and eventually other superhumans. She never found anything that could significantly challenge her.

Deciding it was time to declare herself to the world, in early 2000 she adopted the moniker Gravitar and designed a distinctive costume. She chose to start at the top, attacking and attempting to conquer the city of New York. The result was a battle with a local super-team that tore up a huge section of Central Park and knocked over one skyscraper. When she realized she couldn’t breeze to victory the way she had in the past, she knocked the heroes away from her with a powerful gravitic pulse and fled at top speed.

For the next several years Gravitar lashed out at the world at random, seemingly still intent on conquering it but not taking her quest very seriously. She battled UNTIL, numerous superhero teams, and even villains such as Mechanon, defeating most of them handily. At best the forces of law and order could hope to drive her away in a petulant huff after thwarting her temporarily. Gravitar has recently chosen Millennium City as her new playground.

How to Play Gravitar

Gravitar's powerful gravity manipulation allows her to bind foes who wander too close to her primary target. Each time she attacks her target she applies Gravity Well, which slowly pulls in nearby players. The more stacks of Gravity Well she applies the more potent this pull becomes, until it cannot be escaped.

Many of her powers interact directly with her Gravity Well, and as she consumes stacks of Gravity Well from her targets she gains access to more potent abilities. Applying Gravity Wells to many targets to restrict their movement allows her to control the battle with her area of effect powers.

Gravitar can also use her gravity control to temporarily fly incredibly quickly.

About Grond

Sidney Potter was a small-time thug who had a history of bad luck, which resulted in him being locked up for a third time. To get any sort of leniency from the warden and the parole board, Potter decided to volunteer for special medical experiments. However, upon discovering that he was injected with the wrong experimental serum, he went crazy. When some prison guards attempted to subdue him, he was thrown into a shelf full of chemicals, which entered his body through the many cuts by the broken glass beakers. Potter was eventually able to fight his way past the guards and escaped the prison into a rainy night. He dove into a nearby heavily-polluted river, though at the same time lightning struck.

A few days later, a large green-skinned, four-armed monster calling himself "Grond" went on a downtown rampage. Grond was eventually captured and it was determined that the creature was once Sidney Potter, though no one could find a way to transform him back or hold him against his will for a certain amount of time.

In the years following Grond's first appearance, he has attacked sporadically. When confronted, he has proved to be an almost unstoppable destructive force and one of the world's most dangerous super-powered threats.

How to Play Grond

Grond is the incarnation of fury and excels at dealing damage to many foes at once. With his blind rage however he deals and takes more damage as his Fury increases. Grond builds Fury by taking damage from foes.

Playing Grond effectively requires wading into the fray and damaging foes as quickly as possible when your Fury approaches its peak. After fully filling his Fury all the way to 100 it resets, so careful timing is very important so that you can deal maximum damage before Grond becomes exhausted.

Grond also has access to his ability to jump incredible distances when he needs to close in on his foes or retreat and give himself space to prepare his next attack.

About Medusa

Madeline Bruner started off as an accountant under the brilliant scientist Sebastian Poe who was working on a secret project. It wasn’t her dream job, but she likely money and information, and the ability to manipulate both to her advantage. It wasn’t long before Madeline figured out what Sebastian was developing a serum to increase psionic powers, which he used to increase his own abilities. Madeline was fascinated by the concept and set herself up to seduce the scientist in order to gain this potential for herself.

After injecting herself with Sebastian’s serum, she gained a host of psionic abilities. She was able to paralyze her victims with her mind, shoot psionic lances, manifest psychic swords in close combat, and even cloud her presence in the minds of others. Madeline and Sebastian eventually married, and decided to use their newfound abilities to seize power and wealth. She started calling herself Medusa at that time, after her ability to paralyze her foes with her mind.

Gathering other people with psionic abilities into the group known as PSI, they decided to use their powers to take over key criminal enterprises in Baltimore. Eventually a powerful young psionic named Psimon took over control of PSI, and Medusa left Sebastian to be with him. To further their plans, Medusa convinced Psimon to move their organization to the outskirts of Millennium City where they created a shell corporation known as Mind, Inc. There they used counselors to scan clients for potential psionic ability to recruit into PSI, or to steal any information they can use for criminal activities.

How to Play Medusa

Medusa is a telepath who can forcibly dominate her foes, paralyzing their minds. Medusa is most powerful when she focuses on a foe and applies Mind Spikes as fast as she can. The more times she stuns a foe, the more powers she will gain access to.

Medusa has limited damage, but she excels at killing foes who are suffering from her paralysis. She is most powerful when her powers are used in concert to quickly apply Mind Spikes to a primary target who she then kills immediately. Medusa also has the ability to blind all foes to her presence with her Mind Warp.

She becomes invisible and moves rapidly around the landscape, letting her set up ambushes or hide from foes temporarily.
