==Characters==
===Main===
*Dr. Kamili "Kamil" Machumba/Lion-Man - a scientist and successful athlete living in the fictional African country of Alkonia who formerly worked for the organization known as The Committee, but quit after a mysterious incident that resulted in him having bad blood with the group. He now lives his life as a hermit, cut off from the rest of the world and living with a pride of lions, though his natural sense of justice often causes him to leap into action when there is trouble afoot, not to mention his past coming back to haunt him.
*Bakari "Bubba" Nazari - an Alkonian orphan whose parents were killed by smugglers, raised in an orphanage for most of his life before being saved by Lion-Man. After this, he tracks him down and becomes a surrogate son to Kamil, who trains him as his protege. Though he is well-meaning, his young age causes him to not think clearly and be prone to anger.
===Supporting===
* The Committee of Homeland Protection & Research - often shortened to The Committee, they are a team of African scientists who are attempting to increase Africa's scientific standing in the world. They are also a counter group to war criminals, terrorists, and general threats to Africa.
** Dr. Gidado Gwadabe - the Head Chairman of the Committee and Kamil's former fiancee. She seems to be good natured overall, though her work often overtakes her morality. She and Lion-Man have a strained relationship because of a mysterious event later revealed to be an attempt at a teleportation machine that killed many people working for it and left a handful of people MIA. This is a source of guilt for her that seems to have left her with rampant PTSD.
**Abasi Adeoye - a former soldier who has become Gidado's personal bodyguard as he doesn't fully trust Kamil and occasionally clashes with him, although they more often than not end up working together. 
*President Kandoro Imamu
===Antagonists===
*Dr. Blair Sangro - a former scientist working for the Committee who views humanity as weak, wanting to strengthen humanity by experimenting on them, as he mainly operates out of Alkonia, knowing that anywhere else may be too suspicious, soon starting to clash against Lion-Man.
**Ben Brosser/The Beachcomber - a grizzled and sadistic mercenary who primarily operates out of beaches, hence his nickname as he is currently working for Dr. Sangro, knowing he is his highest paying employer.
*The Spirit - a mysterious insane man who claims to have been a farmer with a son who died of illnesses as he went to the mythical Uchawi Mountains to heal him, until spirits of the mountain gave him a new purpose, to cause chaos and destruction, becoming a dangerous villain to Lion-Man.
*Queen Wasp - the enigmatic leader of a private military brigade known as the Wasps who are able to take on any tasks as long as they get paid as she soon starts to clash with Lion-Man, soon gaining a demented one sided crush on him.
*Fisi - a hyena who was experimented on a group of morally grey scientists who has seen what humanity has done to his kind as becomes far more brutal and vicious towards humans, swearing to wipe them all off the world.
