Phantom Lady
Allegiance: Vengeance / Justice Abilities: drive men mad with her visage, appear and disappear mysteriously
The Phantom Lady appears to men who have been (or are in the process of being) abusive to women or children, appearing as if out of nowhere, clad in an elegant and baroque gown that appears more suitable for a Victorian setting than the modern day. A featureless white porcelian mask conceals her features, and she quickly removes it, showing her face to the offending male. Anyone else present sees nothing but white light, but the man she targets sees a visage of horror, and is filled with powerful emotion, sometimes terror, sometimes despair, sometimes even remorse. Truly wicked men may awaken with eyes gone white and sightless, or never awaken at all, dropped into a catatonic state, reliving old nightmares, for days, or even indefinitely...
Her 'justice' delivered, the Phantom Lady disappears as mysteriously as she came, although no one can be sure if she becomes invisible, is a ghostly apparition, a psychic manifestation, can teleport, or can walk through walls.
Allegiance: Good Abilities: Aborigine dreamtime magic
Duela Dent was a simple Australian high school student/cheerleader, until a mad Aborigine witch doctor attempted to destroy her high school during a football game, and Duela's quarterback boyfriend, Charley Parker, used her as a human shield from one of the mad doctor's blast. Ironically, it actually gave Duela a link to the Dreamtime, granting her all kinds of shapeshifting and illusion-casting abilities. The first of which she used to make her boyfriend think he had turned into an old woman for about three weeks. As Tuatara, she now faces off regularly against her arch foe, Doctor Moon, who wants the powers he accidentally gave her back.
Moon's motives are that his parents were trampled to death by football players when he was a child, and got raised by magical talking dingoes in the outback.
Next: Silver Sorceress
-------------------- I want to be hated by lies - Bring Back Lian Harper
Allegiance: Herself Abilities: extreme control over metal, Witch to a lesser degree over most other things. Scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most powerful, she's an 8.5, 9 with metal.
Silver Sorceress has no known name at this time, since the people that knew her true name all died in a fire that totally consumed the sanitarium she was born in. She was the daughter of the mad Sorceress Niteshade and an (unknown at the time) demon from the pit. The demon saw a chance to have an element of pure chaos and destruction on earth, and created a "home" in a remote cave in North Dakota's black hills. There, she learned the dark arts that came to her through her lineage. But, the dark influences were somewhat negated by ol' Ma Hunkle.
Ma was a barkeep in the little town of Good Mule by day, but by night she travelled the badlands after having met SS when SS was a child. Ma had sensed the use of dark magics, being a receptive, and sought to reverse the psychic damage the demon, Etrigan was doing to the child.
Thus, good and evil forever warred within Silver Sorceress. She had mercy and pity, but little understanding of the use of it. She might take pity on a childmolester and castrate him, or she might have mercy on a dying priest and end his life by cutting out his heart. She might teach a child to swim by transporting them to the amazon and placing them in croc infested waters. Her concepts of love and mercy are definitely on the perverse side.
