Countess Siroon

**Countess Siroon** is a supernatural character who first appeared in issue twelve of This Magazine is Haunted (Fawcett Comics, 1953). As the owner of the ancient Castle Valord, she was guardian of the doorway to The Beyond and one of Dr. Death's many supernatural vassals. To the casual observer she appears as an educated and strikingly beautiful woman, but beneath her enchanting facade lies the soul (and appetite) of a bloodthirsty demon. Feared as a vampire by the local population, she frequently lures young men to their doom, torturing her victims for days on end before finally draining their life-forces.

Being one of Dr. Death's most trusted servants, Siroon appears to hold a high position in The Beyond, ruling the kingdom in her master's absence and commanding demons with a word. She is described as "keeping vigil" for the grim reaper's return, and speaks of him in terms of deep affection (although this may be more out of fear than true loyalty). Little is known of her powers, other than an ability to rejuvenate her youth via the blood of the living. She can, however, travel freely between the Earth and The Beyond, and is one of the few beings capable of opening the portal between the two dimensions.

## Notes

* Countess Siroon appeared primarily in Fawcett Comics' horror line. The character has passed into the public domain due to lapsed copyright.

* In The Landmark Universe, Siroon is one of the supernatural entities behind the attack on Empire City in The Purge storyline.

Lacy Black

**Lacy Black** is an open source character created by Garry Marsden for the Landmark Universe. Initially published through DeviantART, the strip is a light-hearted tribute to the "Spicy Detective" genre of the interwar period, duly updated for the 21st century.

## Synopsis

**Lacy Black**, alias the Black Viper, is a member of The Lingerie Legion. While assuming the persona of a ditzy air-head, she is actually the team's intelligence officer, possessing an eidetic memory capable of almost total recall. Playing a stereotype bimbo, she infiltrates criminal organizations to gather intel and disrupt operations from within. Whenever uncovered, she becomes the deadly assassin implied by her code-name, striking down her adversaries with lethal precision.

## Crossovers

Despite her humble beginnings as a street-level crime fighter, **Lacy Black** has fought alongside Ace Brogan, The Masque, Selina the Moon Maiden, Victory Girl, Shiko-Chan and even Major Triumph. She is also a popular guest at stag parties and bucks' nights, where her choreographic skills frequently come in handy.

During The Purge storyline, Lacy takes up arms against The Book Master's faceless minions, joining forces with Double Devil, Kevlar and The Edgelord, holding off the demonic onslaught long enough for the local populace to escape across the Challahasee Bridge.

Comic Book Archive

A **comic book archive** or **comic book reader file** (also called **sequential image file**) is a type of archive file for the purpose of sequential viewing of images, commonly for comic books. The idea was made popular by the CDisplay sequential image viewer; since then, many viewers for different platforms have been created.

Comic book archive files mainly consist of a series of image files, typically PNG (lossless compression) or JPEG (lossy compression) files, stored as a single archive file. Occasionally GIF, BMP, and TIFF files are seen. Folders may be used to group images.

The filename extension indicates the archive type used:

* .cb7 → 7z
* .cba → ACE
* .cbr → RAR[2]
* .cbt → TAR
* .cbz → ZIP[3]

Comic book archive files are not a distinct file format; only the file name extension differs from a standard file of the given archive type.

Comic book archive viewers typically offer various dedicated functions to read the content, like one page forward/backwards, go to first/last page, zoom or print. Some applications support additional tag information in the form of embedded XML files in the archive or use of the ZIP comment to store additional information. These files can include additional information like artists, story information, table of contents or even a separate text layer for comic book translations.
The Blue Flame

So, back in the late 40s, a one-hit wonder called **The Blue Flame** appeared out of left field, fought some long-forgotten crime-boss and disappeared after one issue. Not surprisingly, the character lapsed into obscurity (and thence into the public domain, meaning we can have our very own blazing humanoid character and there ain't ONE £@&#ING THING Marvel can do about it!!!) As the author didn't provide an origin story, I guess we'll just have to fill in the blanks ourselves.

## Background

In the Landmark Continuity, the Blue Flame is a mysterious blazing figure closely associated with Empire City's Red Zone. Little is known of his origins, other than that he is both ageless and seemingly invulnerable to all forms of physical attack. After extensive research, **Dr. Rose Morrison** speculated that the Flame was initially a *djinn* called into service by Solomon the Wise to defend the borders of The Promised Land. In reward for his bravery, the Flame was granted an immortal human form and released to wander the world at leisure. According to eldritch folklore, he tends to blend in with the general population, emerging only in times of extreme crisis.

## Team Affiliations

Over the past three thousand years, The Blue Flame has fought alongside some of history's greatest heroes, often appearing at the (figurative) last moment to turn the tide of battle. In the present day, he is well known to both The Patriot Brigade and The Chamberlain Knights, occasionally assisting them on critical missions. Like most inhabitants of The Westside, he has crossed paths with Ace Brogan, The Masque, Double Devil and The Black Bat amongst others based in the **Gallows Hill** distract.

## Crossovers

During The Purge storyline, The Blue Flame faces off against Nergal and his **Army of the Damned**. Being amongst the most powerful of the ancient *Djinn,* he proves particularly effective against Nergal's demonic generals. Towards the climax of the struggle, he manages to block the Grand Portal with a wall of brilliant white fire, trapping the Hellbreed on the other side.

Shop Keeper

**First Appearance** | 1952

**The Shop Keeper** was a supernatural character who appeared in Fawcett Comics' early 50s horror titles. Initally portrayed as the elderly proprietor of an old Salem bookstore, he was subsequently revealed as a 'master' of The Beyond, one of several malevolent entities capable of traversing the gulf between Earth and Hell. Like *Haunted's* undead Countess Siroon, the Keeper seems to be charged with guarding the portal between the two worlds. While he acts mainly to discourage those seeking "knowledge not meant for mortals," he can also command the dark forces of hell when direct intervention is required.

In *Dance of the Doomed* he sends his faceless minions to hunt down a thief unfortunate enough to steal the *Book of the Dead*; the story strongly suggests that he is either an aspect of The Grim Reaper or "Mephisto Satan, Lieutenant of Death". His kingdom is referred to at one point as The Beyond, although the tale's conclusion clearly defines the region as the abode of the "Evil Ones" - ie Hell.

In the PURGE storyline, the Keeper returns decades later under the name **Book Master**, sending **The Nameless Ones** to murder Excelsior and unleashing hell onto the Westside. Following a desperate battle that destroys most of Gallows Hill, he is eventually routed by the last ditch efforts of Moon Maiden, Scarlet Shade, Tachyon and Westside Warrior. Dragged back to Hell by a vengeful Inquisitor, the Keeper is finally sentenced to eternal torment by The Judges of the Dead.

White Shadow

Steve Saxon - aka **The White Mask** - was a golden age "mystery man" first appearing in *Champ Comics* no. 22 (Harvey, September 1942), drawing inspiration from The Green Hornet and other "domino detectives" of the era. As the original is in the public domain, we can use the character any way we choose, and DC can go take a flying *fuck* at the moon for all we care.

## Modern Continuity

In the Landmark Universe, Saxon - aka **The White Shadow**, **Mr**. **White** and **The Albino** - is one of many ground-level vigilantes patrolling the haunted backstreets of The Westside. Proximity to **The Grand Portal** has granted him supernatural powers at the cost of paranoid schizophrenia; in common with The Masque, he believes he is a spirit of retribution sent "upworld" to collect the souls of the evil. At various times, he has crossed paths with The Black Bat and The Street Demon, all of whom share similar abilities.

While generally considered a solo operator, The Albino has occasionally teamed up with Double Devil, believing him to be the only trustworthy hero in Empire City. His association with the idealistic young crimefighter has a 'calming' effect on his more psychotic behavior.

## Powers & Abilities

The Albino is capable of withstanding physical attacks that would instantly kill any other living creature. Under normal conditions, he is twice as strong and fast as a normal human male; this has been known to rise by a factor of three during an adrenaline rush. When push to his limits, he is roughly six times as powerful as any ordinary man.

In addition to superhuman levels of endurance, the Albino can also see in total darkness and sense supernatural evil at a glance. His danger sense can be used to either avoid imminent harm or to 'home in' on particularly malevolent beings. This sense is so finely honed that he can track malevolent entities at a distance and follow their 'trails' like a bloodhound.

## Crossovers

At the beginning of The Purge, The Albino has a premonition of immanent disaster, narrowly avoiding the destruction of Gallows Hill. Seeking the source of the catastrophe, he witnesses The Masque's battle with Nergal from a distant rooftop. Arriving too late to intervene, he later joins forces with numerous other superheroes to hold the line against the **Army of the Damned**.

The Fleshless Ones

**The Fleshless Ones** were a race of malevolent, skeletal beings first introduced in Fawcett's horror line. Cruel, vicious and totally without mercy, they were bent on world domination, having succeeded in infiltrating human society at various levels.

## Plotline

When rookie patrolman Perry Mahoney answers a desperate cry for help, he is confronted by a race of undead beings lurking in deep caverns and dark places beneath the streets. Motivated purely by hate, these creatures secretly plot to wipe out humanity and turn the world into a vast graveyard ruled over by the dead. When Mahoney discovers their existence, they respond by abducting his girlfriend, planning to convert her to one of "them" through a process too horrific to conceive. Tracking them to their lair, Mahoney manages to save Ellen from a fate literally worse than death ... only to discover that she may not be all that she seems.

## Notes

* An early piece illustrated by comics veteran Sheldon Moldoff, *The Fleshless Ones* set a precedent for several later scenarios involving the Beyond. In Fawcett's loosely structured continuity, the dead often loathed or envied the living, devising plans to obliterate the entire human species from the face of the planet - a plotline recalling some of H. P. Lovecraft's weird fiction. The story's grim conclusion also bears a remarkable similarity to Invasion of the Body Snatchers, although the movie actually appeared some years later in 1956.

* *The Fleshless Ones* has been reprinted several times by various publishers. Atlas swiped the story wholesale, altering the artwork but retaining the title and dialogue, for *Mystic* No. 64 (November 1957). More recently, AC Comics acquired the rights to the story, issuing an authorized reprint in the first issue of *Crypt of Horror*, an omnibus-style magazine using material from numerous pre-code comics.

* Editing credits for this issue *(Worlds of Fear* # 10) are given as Will Lieberson (executive editor) and V.A. Provisiero (editor). In keeping with the policies of the time, artists and writers were not mentioned, although Moldoff is known to have produced this story as part of his initial horror pitch to Fawcett Publications.

The Quaids

**First Appearance** | DeviantART, 2023

**The Quaids**, aka **The Quaid Sisters** and **The Quaid Girls**, are a group of crime-fighters based in Chamberlain City's infamous Red Zone. Created in AI by TheRRRealist, they debuted on DeviantART before being incorporated into the Landmark Universe, where they are closely affiliated with Red Garter and The Lingerie Legion.

## Backstory

Born on April 30 (Walpurgisnacht), the Quaids are descended from Pin-Up Girl, one of the original **Adrenaline-3** test subjects. Developing transhuman abilities during adolescence, The Quaids eventually joined The Lingerie Legion as a street-level crime-fighters working the underside of Empire City's notorious Westside. The latest recruits in a long line of "lingerie detectives," they've fought alongside The Red Garter, Lacy Black, Ace Brogan, The Masque, Selina the Moon Maiden, Victory Girl, Shiko-Chan and even Major Triumph. They're also a popular attraction at stag parties and bucks' nights, where their choreographic skills frequently come in handy.

During The Purge storyline, The Legionnaires lead the resistance against The Book Master's minions. Joining forces with Double Devil, Kevlar and The Edgelord, The Quaids manage to fend off the demonic onslaught long enough for the local population to escape across the Challahasee Bridge.

## Powers and Abilities

Descended from one of the nation's first Super-Soldiers, the Quaids all possess enhanced strength, speed, agility and endurance. In addition, their genius level intelligence allows them to easily outwit common street thugs. Starting out as independent crime-fighters, they were eventually enlisted by Red Garter to join The Lingerie Legion's undercover task force. While originally born quintuplets, a later encounter with **Dr Braindead's** cloning machine resulted in their being rebranded **The Quints**.

Excelsior

**First Appearance** | Yahoo Groups, 2005

A trans-dimensional visitor from a world populated by superhumans, **Excelsior** is sent to Earth to wage war on others of his kind bent on enslaving the human race for their own malevolent purposes. Assuming the identity of private detective **Barry Beckett**, he quickly adapts to American life, coming to view **Empire City** as his new home. Armed with powers and technology "beyond anything imagined by the human mind" Excelsior embarks on an "epic battle for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness".

## Powers

Heir to a race of near-omnipotent superbeings, Excelsior is tremendously powerful, drawing energy directly from the sun and channeling it through his unique trans-human physiology. By manipulating the energy fields surrounding his body, he can fly at super-sonic speeds, melt solid lead with his optic beams, and lift objects in excess of a thousand tons. His strength increases when he travels through outer space, due to the vast amounts of solar radiation beyond the Earth's atmosphere.

In addition to his native-born abilities, Excelsior uses various advanced technologies in his "interminable struggle against the forces of darkness". A pair of **cybernetic goggles** enhance his optic beams, also allowing him to see in total darkness and sense invisible energy sources. A **force-field generator** worn around his waist augments his photonic powers and provides added protection from anti-matter beams (his one weakness). The generator also functions as a **D-jumping platform**, granting him limited **teleportation** between alternate realities.

## Crossover Storylines

Excelsior was one of the founding members of The Chamberlain Knights, initially formed to deal with the transhuman psychopath **Imperium**. The original roster included Major Triumph, Tachyon and Selina the Moon Maiden. The group later expanded to include Captain Miracle and his cousin Marylin, combining their forces to deal with demonic threats such as Grünstraum, Nergal and The Nameless One.

Excelsior's powers were tested to the limit when Kid Miracle went on a rage-induce killing spree, leveling half of Empire City in the process. After beating the young sociopath into submission, Excelsior blasted his head off his neck with his optic beams, declaring there was no other option - *"Such evil cannot be allowed to endure."* This brutal execution led to a schism between the Knights' core membership, with the Miracles resigning in protest.

During The Purge storyline, Excelsior is viciously attacked by **The Black Triumvirate**, each of whom have returned from The Beyond to extract revenge. The result is a near massacre; having no defense against black magic, Beckett is first beaten to his knees then reduced to pleading for mercy. Narrowly rescued by Selina and Double Devil, Excelsior still lapses into a coma due to severe head trauma.

Marvel Jr. Following his 2022 debut on OSC Facebook, he has become the arch nemesis of both the Miracle Family and the Chamberlain Knights, battling both groups to a standstill on several occasions. Drawing inspiration from Alan Moore's 1982 revision of Kid Marvelman, he is depicted as a demonic entity in league with Countess Siroon and The Book Master.

## Notes

Nergal

**First Appearance** | AIU Facebook, 2023

The arch-demon **Nergal** is a major antagonist in the Landmark Universe and one of the central figures in The Purge storyline. Formerly a Mesopotamian war deity, Nergal has brokered a deal with The Book Master to destroy The Chamberlain Knights and regain dominion over the mortal realm. As a member of **The Inner Circle**, he is one of the supreme powers of The Beyond, surpassed only by The Grim Reaper and The Lords of Judgment.

## Crossover Storylines

Nergal leads the attack on Chamberlain City during The Purge, obliterating Gallows Hill in a cascade of hellfire. In a subsequent confrontation with The Knights, he makes short work of Excelsior and battles The Miracles to a standstill. The struggle reduces The Westside to ashes, resulting in the complete destruction of Radcliffe. Shrugging off further assaults by Io Saturnalia and Platinum Ice he is finally stopped in his tracks by The Immortal Selina while the city literally disintegrates around them.

Scarlet Shade

**First Appearance** | May 2011

**The Scarlet Shade** is an open source character created by Simon Kirby for use in the **Landmark Universe**. An avenging spirit from The Beyond, he possesses various supernatural powers including **flight**, **intangability**, **telepathy**, **pyrokinesis** and **teleportation**. Drawing on the mystical energies of the Netherworld, he is inhumanly fast and strong, invulnerable to virtually any physical attack and capable of battling major demons to a standstill. Appearing only between the hours of twilight and sunrise, he takes the form of a shadowy, ethereal phantom in a flowing red cloak. His simple presence can inspire fear in unsuspecting mortals and his dark, withering stare has been said to drive hardened criminals to the brink of suicide.

In common with both Masque and The Inquisitor, The Shade is considered an urban legend by most legal authorities, despite being referenced in several "X-File" investigations by Chamberlain City's Justice Department. His main "haunt" is **The Westside**, an area known for its paranormal activity. He is most frequently observed in the **Gallows Hill** district of **Radcliff**.

Although his motives are shrouded in mystery, many parapsychologists believe the Shade's mission is to protect the Mortal Realm from demonic incursions. Dr. Rose Morrison of Chamberlain University classifies him as a *Type Two Sentinel;* a damned soul cursed to avenge evil until Judgment Day.

## Enemies

The Scarlet Shade has fought several recurring enemies, all of them apparently connected to The Beyond and other supernatural realms. His chief antagonists include:

* **The Bookmaster**. One of the most malevolent beings in the Netherworld, he frequently unleashes destruction on the Living Realm for his own amusement.
* **The Enraged Entity**, a mindless but extremely powerful demon that periodically wreaks havoc on the Westside.
* **The Black Shade**, a hellish doppelganger possessing similar powers, considered to be the Scarlet Shade's "Dark Twin".

Kathulos

**Kathulos the Egyptian**, aka **The Revenant**, was the spectral narrator of Fawcett's early 50s horror anthology, *Beware! Terror Tales.* Originally referred to as The Mummy, Kathulos possessed a cadaverous appearance and a sardonic sense of humor. Hints dropped throughout several stories suggested he was thousands of years old, having accumulated various supernatural abilities during his long existence.

In common with The Book Master and The Countess, he guards one of the major portals to The Beyond, acting as scribe for The Lords of Judgement and chief librarian in The Hall of The Damned. Unlike his malevolent counterpart, Kathulos remains neutral in most conflicts between the various realms, observing events as they unfold.

## Notes

* The Revenant originally appeared in Fawcett Comics' horror line. The character has since passed into the public domain due to lapsed copyright.
* "Kathulos" is the main antagonist in Robert E. Howard's horror-fantasy novella, Skull-Face (Weird Tales, Oct-Dec 1929). In the early chapters, he was referred to simply as "The Egyptian."
* In The Landmark Universe, Kathulos feeds information to both The Judges and Countess Siroon during The Purge, setting each side against the other.

The Beyond

**The Beyond** is a mysterious plane of existence which occasionally encroached on the physical world. A shadowy limbo vaguely akin to the Afterlife, it served as the source of the many supernatural menaces which threatened the "Realm of the Living". In a number of cases, it is a grey, lifeless Purgatory inhabited by rotting corpses; in others, a place of perpetual torment akin to Hell (although it was never specifically defined as such).

The Beyond seemed to be the abode of all of humanity's worst fears; vampires, ghosts and demons existed alongside dragons, witches
and harpies. All seemed generally hostile towards mankind; some periodically crossed over to prey on selected victims or to seek
vengeance on former tormentors. The traffic appeared to flow in both directions; mortals could inadvertently find themselves trapped in the Beyond before the end of their natural lives.

Access to the Beyond took numerous forms. Ghostly express trains made midnight runs to the other side, carrying the spirits of the
recently departed. Phantom cruise liners ferried moldering passengers through the Sea of the Dead. Unwary travelers often found themselves
making a one-way trip on the Road to Nowhere. Sometimes, mechanized transport was completely unnecessary - swamps, caves and haunted houses
all seemed to lie within the outer boundaries of The Beyond.
Ms. Miracle

**First Appearance** | OSC Facebook, 2022

**Ms. Miracle** is an open source character created by Levi Atkins and published through OSC Facebook in November 2022, based on Fawcett's golden age hero Mary Marvel. Initially intended as a parody of super-heroic archetypes, Ms. Miracle has been integrated into the Landmark Universe as a founding member of The Chamberlain Knights.

## Background

Marylin (Mary) Watson is one of two human champions nominated by the *Whiz*ard to defend humanity from otherworldly threats. Originally granted transhuman speed, strength, intellect and agility, she has since evolved into one of the most powerful beings in the Landmark continuity, rivaling both Captain Miracle and Excelsior the Photonic Man. In addition to her physical prowess, Mary's purity of heart provides her significant degree of resistance to supernatural onslaughts, capable of withstanding attacks by The Nameless One and Grünstraum.

## Landmark Comics

Following an injunction by a well-known publishing juggernaut, the entire Magic franchise was sold off to Landmark Magazines in 1953. Realizing how valuable the property was, Landmark quickly relaunched the character under the name Miss Miracle, later updated to *Ms.* Miracle in the 1970s. The rest, as they say, was history: aside from a few ~~minor~~ major costume changes, Mary is still considered **Earth's Mightiest Heroine**, and the "Miracle Family" is seeing a massive resurgence on the interwebs.

## Notes

* In this continuity, Marylin is Willy's *cousin* rather than his sister, allowing their bond to progress beyond simple friendship.
* Uncle Dudley is an actual blood relative to Willy and Mary. Despite being a swindling huckster, he is genuinely fond of the pair, going out his way to protect their civilian identities.
* Marylin enjoys a close working relationship with Selina the Moon Maiden and Victory Girl, regarding them as the "sisters" she never had.

Cover Girl

**Cover Girl**, aka **Pin-Up Girl**, **Femizon** and **Jane Doe**, is the grand matriarch of the Landmark Universe. Amongst the first recipients of the Adrenaline-Three serum, she served alongside Major Triumph and The Patriot Brigade during World War II under a variety of code names before retiring from active duty in the early 'Fifties. While her true identity has never been revealed, she is known to be the maternal fore-mother of several generations of superheroines including The Quaids.

## Crossovers

**Germany, 8 May, 1945**: Adolf Hitler is presumed dead, Berlin is being occupied by allied forces and the Third Reich is in the verge of immanent collapse. However, out in the wilds of the Norwegian Alps, the Nazi super-villain Grünstraum is making one final attempt to seize power. Having brokered a deal with Hekatte and The Book Master, Grünstraum's scientists have developed a prototype Atomic Bomb along with fleet of *Glocken* aircraft with which to destroy Europe.

Grünstraum's plans are foiled by Alliance 1, led by the indomitable American General. The strike force (which includes Major Triumph, Victory Girl, American Valkyrie, Independent, Cover Girl and American Shield) manage to fight their way past Vemork's defensive perimeters, but are halted in the tracks by **Die Triade** (consisting of Tiwaz the Terrible, Wotan and The Krimson Kaiser). With time running out, Victory Girl slips through to the heavy water plant, determined to halt the countdown.

Realizing the cause is lost, Grünstraum detonates the bomb, hoping to wipe out the entire Patriot Brigade in a single stroke. The plan backfires due to the complex being located underground; a massive nuclear explosion ensues, vaporizing everything within the Power Plant and setting off several earthquakes across the region. Wotan and Tiwaz are eventually subdued, but the Patriots fear they've lost their most cherished member...

**Featured Image**

**Uncle Sam** is the national personification of the United States. The first usage of the term dates from the War of 1812, and the first drawing dates from 1852. The most common depiction is of a serious, elderly white man with white hair, a beard, and patriotic clothing. He first appeared in comics in 1940 when Will Eisner introduced him as a superhero in *National Comics* #1.

**Featured Article**

**Major Victory** was an unnamed American soldier killed during a Nazi sabotage attempt. In recognition of his indomitable courage and valor, the national spirit **Father Patriot** restored him to life with the ringing of the Liberty Bell. Donning a patriotic uniform, he continued to fight for America as **Major Victory**. Despite his supernatural origins, Major Victory has no super human powers. However, his spiritual mentor provided him with a mountain sanctuary, a super radio receiver, and an aircraft for his battle against the enemies of freedom. Whenever his presence is required, Father Patriot rings the Liberty Bell - which only the Major himself can hear - and in a flash of lightning, Victory is transported to appear before him...

Excelsia

**First Appearance** | OSC Facebook, 2023

**Excelsia the Photonic Woman** is an open source character created by Salva GN and originally published on Facebook AIU on 9 January 2023. She is a female variant of the trans-dimensional superhero, Excelsior.

## Origin

A malfunction in Excelsior's teleportation belt resulted in his unexpected transformation into a towering female meta-human. Initially disoriented by the sudden metamorphosis, "Excelsia" still possessed all of Barry Beckett's memories, and soon returned to her "epic battle for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Overcoming some initial problems convincing The Knights that she was, in fact, a member of their team, Excelsia proved a worthy successor to The Photonic Man, winning the respect of Chamberlain's superhero community. Adopting the civilian identity of **Becky Barret**, she returned to detective work as a cover for her crime fighting activities, gaining new insights into human society along the way.

## Powers

Excelsia is significantly more powerful than her male counterpart, due to a new-found ability to process higher levels of stellar radiation. Manipulating the energy fields surrounding her body, she can fly at luminal velocities, melt solid neutronium with her optic beams, and lift objects in excess of ten thousand tons. Her strength increases almost exponentially when traveling through interstellar space, due to the vast amounts of *cosmic* radiation beyond the Solar System.

In addition to her native-born abilities, Excelsia uses various advanced technologies in her "interminable struggle against the forces of darkness." A pair of cybernetic goggles enhance her optic beams, also allowing her to see in total darkness and sense invisible energy sources. Most significantly, Excelsia is completely unaffected by anti-matter, alleviating the need for defensive screens.

Red Garter

**First Appearance** | DeviantART

Holly Taylor, aka **The Red Garter**, is an open source character created by Simon Kirby for the Landmark Universe. Initially published through DeviantART, the strip is a light-hearted tribute to the "Spicy Detective" genre of the interwar period, duly updated for the 21st century.

## Synopsis

Stripper by day, vigilante by night, **The Red Garter** has been systematically cleaning up the back streets of the notorious Westside since her eighteenth year. Battling evil in her silky French lingerie, she has earned a lethal reputation amongst the criminal underworld, whose denizens have learned to avoid her at all costs. In common with many of her pulp era predecessors, she is a highly trained martial artist, packing heat on her right thigh and never hesitating to cut down her foes with a well-aimed bullet to the ~~nether regions~~ back of the skull. As a direct descendent of **Cover Girl**, Holly has inherited the ADR gene, granting her a perpetually youthful appearance.

## Crossovers

Despite her humble beginnings as a street-level crime fighter, **Red Garter** has fought alongside Ace Brogan, The Masque, Selina the Moon Maiden, Victory Girl, Shiko-Chan and even Major Triumph. She is also a popular guest at stag parties and bucks' nights, where her choreographic skills frequently come in handy.

During The Purge storyline, Holly leads the resistance against The Book Master's faceless minions. Joining forces with Double Devil, Kevlar and The Edgelord, the "Street Legion" manages to hold off the demonic onslaught long enough for the local populace to escape across the Challahasee Bridge.

Inquisitor

**First Appearance** | MSN Groups, 2005

**The Inquistor** is an officer of The High Court of the Dead. Directly answerable to The Judges of the Dead, his position combines the offices of prosecutor and executioner, granting him jurisdiction over both The Beyond and the Living World.

Sometimes confused with The Specter of Death, The Inquisitor serves the Lords of Judgement, delivering their summons and carrying out their verdicts whenever required. As such, he is charged with prosecuting the evil and delivering the guilty to Hell.

On occasion, The Inquisitor is empowered to cross over to Realm of the Living to investigate unauthorized supernatural activities or apprehend escapees from final justice. His main targets in this regard are mortals who have violated the Laws of Life and Death, in which case he is sanctioned to execute the offender and drag their soul before the Court. His intermittent appearances throughout history have added to the myth of The Grim Reaper, with whom he is closely identified.

## Powers

Being both immortal and undead, The Inquisitor cannot be harmed in any physical sense. He is also impervious to virtually any form of supernatural attack launched by mortal agencies. In common with The Lords of Judgment, he has the ability to take human form in the Living Realm, although rarely wears any disguise when performing his missions. To his victims, he always appears as a gruesome, moldering corpse wrapped in a black shroud, the sight of which cause insanity or even heart failure. His very presence shrivels vegetation and causes birds to drop dead from the skies: when empowered with a Death Warrant, his slightest touch can kill any mortal he comes into contact with. He is considered one of the most powerful entities of The Beyond, second only to The Grim Reaper and The Lords of Judgement.

## Crossover storylines

In recent years, The Inquisitor's Earthside missions have brought him into direct conflict with mortal characters such as Private Detective Ace Brogan and the mentally unstable demon-hunter, Masque. Brogan is believed to have trailed the Inquisitor while investigating a series of ritual murders during the late 40s and barely escaped with his life. Decades later, Masque's encounter with various supernatural beings drove him mad; it is rumored that Masque is the only human being to ever survive The Inquisitor's lethal touch.

The Patriot Brigade

**Alliance 1**, nicked-named **The Patriot Brigade**, is a High Level Task Force answerable only to The Executive Branch. Their mission is to protect The United States from extraordinary threats to national security, particularly those of trans-human or extra-terrestrial origin. Formed from the country's highest-ranking transhuman operatives, it is considered both the First Strike Deterrent and the Last Line of Defense in moments of extreme crisis. Established in 1941 to combat Nazi Super-Soldiers, its current membership includes American General, Power Patriette, The Independent and American Shield.

## Crossovers

**Germany, 8 May, 1945**: Adolf Hitler is presumed dead, Berlin is being occupied by allied forces and the Third Reich is in the verge of immanent collapse. However, out in the wilds of the Norwegian Alps, the Nazi super-villain Grünstraum is making one final attempt to seize power. Having brokered a deal with Hekatte and The Book Master, Grünstraum's scientists have developed a prototype Atomic Bomb along with fleet of *Glocken* aircraft with which to destroy Europe.

Grünstraum's plans are foiled by Alliance 1 led by American General. The strike force (which includes Major Triumph, Victory Girl, American Valkyrie, Independent and American Shield) manage to fight their way past Vemork's defensive perimeters, but are halted in the tracks by **Tiwaz the Terrible**, **Wotan** and **The Krimson Kaiser.** With time running out, Victory Girl slips through to the heavy water plant, determined to halt the countdown.

Realizing the cause is lost, Grünstraum detonates the bomb, hoping to wipe out the entire Patriot Brigade in a single stroke. The plan backfires due to the complex being located underground; a massive nuclear explosion ensues, vaporizing everything within the Power Plant and setting off several earthquakes across the region. Wotan and Tiwaz are finally subdued, but the Patriots fear they've lost their most cherished member.

In the aftermath of the explosion, the immortal Valkyrie searches through the irradiated ruins, but finds no trace of either Victory Girl or Grünstraum. Realizing they must have been vaporized in the blast, Val returns to inform Major Triumph that his niece did not survive. At this grim news, the remaining members of the Patriot Brigade stand to attention and salute the passing of 16 year-old Victoria Hamilton..."The Greatest of Us All."
Dark Reaper

**The Dark Reaper** is a modern reworking of MLJ's golden age Hangman, first appearing in Pep Comics #17 (January 1941). Initially framed as a masked avenger ala DC's Batman, the character lasted until the mid 40s, when superheroes began to fall out of fashion. Despite several revivals under the Red Circle logo, Hangman's early adventures remain in the public domain due to lapsed copyright.

## Modern Continuity

In the Landmark Universe, The Reaper is one of many ground-level vigilantes patrolling the infamous **Gallows Hill** district. Due to his proximity to **The Grand Portal**, he has developed latent psychic powers, allowing him to sense evil and approaching danger. At various times, he has crossed paths with The Masque, The Black Bat and The Street Demon, all of whom share similar abilities.

While generally considered a solo operator, The Reaper has occasionally teamed up with Double Devil and Silver Speedstar, believing them to be the only (halfway) trustworthy heroes in Empire City. His association with the younger heroes tempers his rage to some extent, revealing a streak of humanity beneath his overwhelming desire for revenge.

## Crossovers

At the beginning of The Purge, The Reaper has a premonition of immanent disaster while tracking an unusually malevolent presence through the streets of Radcliff. Surviving the destruction of Gallows Hill, the Reaper takes part in **The Battle of The Westside**, allowing the civilian population to escape across the Challahasee Bridge. Temporarily locked out of Empire City by The Purple Twilight, he later joins forces with numerous other superheroes to hold the line against Nergal's Army of the Damned.
