M

### **Mark**

Mark is a member of the League of Red Stars. Mark is a tall, muscular, dark-skinned man. While destructive and aggressive, he is a good man at heart and a loyal friend to the few ones that he has. He appears in *League of Red Stars*.

### **Susan Marshall**

"*Damaged people are deadlier... because they know how to survive.*"
―Susan Marshall[src]

"*You know, kids, we could learn a lot from each other. The secrets of Dark mutations, no less."
"What can we learn from you?"
"The intricate art of staying alive in the wild when numerous people are out trying to ensure you don't see..."
"Can you put that in simpler terms? Please?"
"In short, the art of survival.*"
―Susan Marshall and Hell Burnbottom[src]
Susan Marshall is the leader of the Shade Union and a social contact to L'smae. She became homeless at a young age and set out on her own, accepting work from anyone who would protect her and provide her with excitement, meaning she did some highly varied tasks and formed short-term relationships with a lot of people who contrasted each other entirely. She also had contact with Mae and was intrigued by the ambiguous means of her death late in 2016. Marshall possessed custom-made energy armor.

In 2017, she befriended the young Hell Burnbottom after he narrowly escaped from Superhero University, meeting his brothers Brute Gunray and Mean King in the process. However, Gunray quickly walked out on them after she slashed him in the face. She bonded with Burnbottom over teaching each other useful skills. Susan Marshall quickly formed the Shade Union, which she hoped to eventually transform into a smuggling business in which she sold weapons. When Marshall realized who they were, she made them both the second-in-command. Eventually, they headed towards Niagara Falls to enlist the help of the International Alliance. The negotiations failed, however, and Zira ordered the bounty hunters to execute the brothers and Suzie. A brief fight ensued, during which time Marshall attempted to use a flamethrower against Avara. The trio was pursued outside where Boatan Kyle and her owls were awaiting the return of them. While Boatan and her warriors fought on the Empress' guards, assisted by War Robots, Burnbottom, Marshall, and Mean King faced off Avara and Elmo. After the fight had ended, the bounty hunters managed to flee to safety, but the robot soldiers were then able to capture Cedric, who was executed. Shortly after learning that Zira had returned to her palace, the robot soldiers and the Shade Union launched a small attack to give Zira a last chance to join them. After briefly seeing what the Shade Union was capable of and how they performed in action, Zira agreed to join them. However, outside the castle Marshall told Kyle to be aware, as they would finish with Burnbottom and Mean King.

Susan Marshall had a lot of bushy light brown hair, sparkling blue eyes, and a bossy sort of voice that would become slightly shrill when she was angry. She usually wore her custom-made armor. Susan was thorough, instinctive, and ruthless, possessing a killer instinct or in the very least a desire to perversely mutilate those who threatened her. She was a survivor who was often motivated by her will to live, and as such her loyalty was to whoever she could join forces with in order to both give and get protection and excitement. Marshall kept herself in top condition, maintaining the habit of training often with her equipment. She was also very intelligent, having prudent tactical skills, and claimed to be fluent in seven different languages. In spite of her powerful survival instinct, Marshall was an honorable and reasonable woman who had worked out her own moral code, living much of her life abiding by her own prematurely set guidelines. While not having superpowers, Susan Marshall’s peak physical condition and history of surviving in the wild made her a fierce opponent, her tactical skills and weapons proving to be more than enough to allow her to compete with the likes of the International Alliance. She appears in *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Mae*.

### McCallin family

#### **Eddie McCallin**

Eddie McCallin is the father of Annie and Samuel McCallin and the husband of Lucy McCallin. He appears to be less attentive than his wife. During his childhood, his family never moved away once. During school, he became the boyfriend of Lucy McCallin. In 2001 he left his family and got a house in Provo, where his former girlfriend happened to live. It wasn’t long before they were married.

In 2006, Eddie McCallin sired a daughter named Annie. In 2012, Samuel was born as well. Eddie McCallin raised them both alongside his wife, though he apparently paid his children little attention. In the morning before the last day of school, in 2022, Eddie overheard Annie asking if she could attend the final school play after school. Lucy authorized this, and Eddie agreed. Two days later, Annie showed Lucy a flier about Camp Fun and Games, an outdoor summer camp that was fully supervised. Afterwards, Annie informed her mother of her encounter with Savannah van Dukas, who had already told her about it, which she may have told her father. However, Eddie McCallin did authorize her attendance. When the bus dropped Annie off, Eddie was waiting at the door with his wife. Both of them were anxious to see how Annie's first day had gone. As the bus took off, Annie said it had progressed fairly. She also revealed that Cherical was their teacher, though she did like him. Eddie went inside and apologized for "acting degrading". During Annie's enslavement at the t and i Factory, Eddie was given a memory wipe by Charity Hirz. When Annie came home, she revealed to Eddie what had happened and revealed whose side she was on.

During the Second NoHead War, Eddie McCallin supported Baby Intelligence. According to Lucy, he had finally overcome his drinking habit by the time the war began. Eventually, Annie McCallin left home and proceeded to college.

Eddie McCallin was six feet tall, slender, and had short, brown hair. Unlike his wife and daughter, he had a tendency to smile, whereas both Lucy and Annie were emotionless. While Eddie McCallin cared for his children, he was not as solemn as Lucy and he often could appear as uncaring and neglectful, if not deliberately. He was also a drunkard, though Lucy claims that he finally overcame his addiction to alcoholic beverages.

#### **Samuel McCallin**

Samuel McCallin is the younger brother of Annie McCallin. In the morning before the last day of school, in 2022, Annie approached her mother and asked if she could attend the final school play after school, something that Samuel overheard. McCallin authorized this, and Annie proceeded to school. Two days later, Annie showed Mrs. McCallin a flier about Camp Fun and Games, an outdoor summer camp that was fully supervised. Mrs. McCallin authorized her attendance. Samuel wanted to go as well, but he was too young (the camp was for children from five to seventeen years of age). Annie's mother called up the head of the camp, Charity Hirz, and begged her to let Samuel come, but Charity remained firm to the rules. After lunch on Annie's first day, McCallin prepared ants-on-a-log and milk for Annie and Samuel. When the bus dropped Annie off in the afternoon, McCallin was waiting at the door with her husband. Both of them were anxious to see how Annie's first day had gone. Annie walked in, and Mrs. McCallin closed the door behind her. On the table, milk and ants-on-a-log were waiting for her. Shortly after Annie began to eat, Samuel joined her.

Samuel is an adorable and innocent little boy. Like his parents, he's largely unaware of the events that take place in Utah that his sister is involved in, though there have been many instances where he does notice the supernatural, only to get shut down due to his young age. As his age progresses, Samuel is shown to be more independent.

### **Ambrose Melling**

Ambrose Melling is a student who attended Tower Placement School in the early 2020s. Although he was a skilled student, he was nonetheless a bully and a troublemaker. He and Caius Staunton were rarely seen outside the company of each other and together the two took pleasure in bullying their fellow students at Tower Placement, though they particularly took to bullying Steven. The two were sometimes joined in their bullying by a female student named Pansy; Ambrose reluctantly agreed that she could join them as well, due to Caius' history with her. The two both posted disparaging comments on Facebook, leading Zambaux to shut down student access to it for a time. They both tortured the class pet Squeaker, resulting in the two being placed on academic probation for the next semester and being denied access to Facebook even after it was restored to the other students later on. Following the attack on Pleasant Grove, Ambrose seemed resolved to prove himself as a model student and displayed none of his past bad behavior, no longer spending time either with Caius and very little with Pansy. Towards the end of the year, Ambrose fought valiantly in the Liberation of Utah. He took down at least eight soldiers on his own. Throughout his education, Ambrose Melling appeared to be vulgar, hateful, and obnoxious. He would mock students for fun and play practical jokes on them for no reason. He was deeply insecure and fearful deep down. He was also intelligent. Ambrose also had a tendency to pick on Steven Thompson, though they later made up.

### **Mephist**

Mephist is a commanding officer of the Apostles who served the Umbralord in Sicily. His brain was connected to the harvested artificial intelligence of RC-5, which allowed him to absorb all the knowledge of the feared mechanized commander. In this capacity, he served as the city's first and only computer-liaison officer. His robe was fitted with advanced sensor technology. He fought in Hell Burnbottom's campaign, including the Battle of Bast Castle, where he was finally destroyed. RC-5 was created sometime in mid 2030. When Sebiscuits Cardarphen returned from kidnapping President Aaron Clinton, RC-5 loaded Clinton off the skyfighter and asked Sebiscuits a question.

Ten years later, the Umbralord ordered Mephist to undergo cyborg augmentation, and RC-5's mind, which was salvaged, was converted into a cyborg headband. Apostle techs shaved Mephist's head, drilled holes in his skull, and fitted him with the headband. Mephist indentured himself to the city by becoming the first cyborg computer-liaison officer in its history. He became one of the most hardworking and loyal servants to the Umbralord. Mephist's new cybernetic implants increased his intelligence dramatically. He could communicate with Sicily's central computer at all times, controlling issues of bureaucracy, law enforcement, computer programming, repair and security, as well as the communication systems, repulsorlifts, and life-support systems. He eventually became a military officer trained for command, and his robe was fitted with advanced sensor technology. The only negative side effect was that his speech centers deteriorated under the neural pathways to his brain. While he retained the ability to speak, his speech was reduced to minimal, infrequent sentences. Regardless, he rarely felt the need to speak, for he could fulfill his duties without verbal communication. His observations of the world came to focus on numbers and formulas. His loss of humanity seemed strange only to those who did not know him.

Subsequently, Mephist led the soldiers of Hell Burnbottom in Hell Burnbottom's campaign, assisting in launching attacks against the government. When Sebiscuits Cardarphen, ironically the former master of RC-5 now defected, confronted the Umbralord within the walls of Bast Castle, Mephist watched the Umbralord cast a fatal beam upon Cardarphen. He also experienced Cardarphen jumping from Whammo Fireball's arms. Moments later, he was defeated as the Umbralord deflects two fire attacks cast by Cardarphen during their duel and they hit Mephist and an unidentified fellow soldier. He immediately shorted out and before long, Titanium Girl realized his physical body died with it.

### **Merlin**

"*Most famous wizard of all time. Sometimes known as the Prince of Soothsayers. Part of the Court of King Arthur.*"
―Baby Intelligence[src]

"*His divination and foresight were unequaled, his mastery of charms, bewitchments, and enchantments legendary.*"
―Troy[src]
Merlin was a wizard who lived during the medieval era. Little is known of his past, but he was a member of King Arthur's court, and arguably one of the most powerful wizards of all time. Merlin was born sometime during the medieval era. He eventually commissioned Caesar Revanen, who was known as one of the finest carpenters in the world, to forge a wand for him. By the time Revanen had finished the wand, however, he initially withheld it, mystified at what he had made and feeling a bond to it. Even though Revanen was well-known as a man of honor and swore he would have given it to him once he had a better understanding of his own creation, Merlin took it from him by force. At some point in his lifetime, Merlin became a part of the Court of King Arthur, assisting him during his reign. He was the enemy of Arthur's half-sister, Morgan le Fay (also known as Morgana), a dark witch.

Merlin believed that wizards should help non-wizards and live peacefully with them. To this end, he founded the Order of Magic, an organization which promoted non-magic rights, creating rules against using magic on them. Merlin also took to training several wizards, having personally informed his imminent apprentices of their magical potential. The apprentices answered to Merlin and were unwaveringly loyal. Merlin also forged the extraordinarily powerful Arts. Merlin was also an expert user of charms. His exceptional skill earned him the epithet "Prince of Sightseers".

Before Merlin died, he ordered one of his most gifted apprentices to keep the Arts hidden until the time was right and the mutants resurfaced onto the Earth. The wizard clasped Merlin's right hand and the two of them made a magically-enhanced oath to keep it safe for hundreds of years. At some point, either during Merlin's lifetime or after his death, the Order of Magic dissolved. Most of the wizards sought refuge with the mutants, who were similarly estranged and secretive. Merlin was immortalized on a Holocard. Baby Intelligence found a copy of this card in one of the Holocards he bought on January 1, 2030.

Arguably one of the most powerful wizards of all time, it can be assumed that Merlin was rich in learning and experience and that his proficiency and knowledge in magic was of a standard few had ever seen before. Merlin's skill in using bewitchments, enchantments, and charms are stated by Troy Zonko to be legendary. In some myths about Merlin, he proved capable of making prophecies, change his appearance at will and predict the future. It was confirmed in this reality that Merlin did in fact show an ability to see into the future, though not completely his ability was still legendary, to the point of him being dubbed the "Prince of Soothsayers", which speaks for his exceptional ability in this field of magic. It was said that he often references his knowledge of the future when speaking to others, leaving them understandably confused. Merlin possesses a well-developed ability to shape-shift. Merlin was a very intelligent and sophisticated wielder of numerous magical disciplines.

Merlin was the teacher to many individuals, two of which achieved immortality. They were both very loyal to him. One of them fulfilled Merlin's dying wish by relocating the Arts and ensuring Mr. Demonic NoHead had them when the time was right. He is mentioned in *Baby Intelligence*, *The Super Babies: The Blabberish Singer*, *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: Age of Innovation*, and *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Inferno Relit*.

### **Mesakk**

Mesakk is a Traldii bounty hunter, who lived on Planet 12. While he usually worked alone, he would rarely team up for a shared objective. Some time after Mr. Devilish NoHead’s first visit to the planet, Lily Clark hired Mesakk to help her deal with Dyber Iavanna. However, Iavanna’s associate, Uraia Nen, freed him from the dungeons, and Iavanna decided to get his revenge on Clark, going on to steal the Holoka. Shortly afterwards, Lily had her guards engage in battle with the Iavanna. At the front, Mesakk led the charge while Lily watched. Lily had pinpointed the Iavanna Clan's bases and sent saboteurs to hit them. Although she was initially successful, Dyber rebounded and sent an attack force to Lily’s robot factory on Hypiria. Iavanna convinced Mesakk to switch sides for triple payment, leading to a rare defeat for Lily. Mesakk stood by as Dyber killed Lily’s men and forced the administrator to agree to a ceasefire that called off the bounty on Dyber’s head. Mesakk was a ruthless and efficient bounty hunter who did not like other bounty hunters or governments interfering with any of his bounties. While Mesakk tended to work alone, he was also capable of working with other individuals, including Dyber Iavanna. As a businessman, Mesakk was also known to keep his promises to the letter of the law. He was also known as a fair and honest combatant. He appears in *Convergence*.

### **Messina**

Messina was a mercenary and member of Red Mist's Criminal Empire, acting as Red Mist's second-in-command. Most of the time, he is seen at Red Mist's side, being his right-hand man, assistant, and one of his most devoted and trusted enforcers. He acted as his spokesperson and had a huge crush on Rose. Not much is known about Messina's early life, except that he came from an exceedingly wealthy family. While Messina himself claimed that he wasn't born into privilege and had to work for everything he has, the fact that he was cut off by his family due to excessive spending and desiring to use his riches to support crime and terrorism says that Messina is likely not the most unbiased narrator of his own life. Messina became a vicious serial killer and mercenary who would torture and murder for Red Mist as he drastically expanded his business until all of New York was ready to be plunged into anarchy. They were assisted by Rose Johannson, who Messina developed an intense yet entirely unreciprocated infatuation towards. He also came into ownership of a dog, whom he named Tiffany. After Red Mist returned to Earth, Messina traveled with his master's men to Beta Prison. Messina then ordered his men to storm the prison and "liberate" the prisoners, who were incarcerated under the "corrupt" laws of America's elite. Red Mist declared martial law and proclaimed that the city now belonged to the people, handing them the power of "justice" over the "corrupt" American elite that had "enslaved" them and failed to save them from the Melanization. Free to find a new path, and with no leaders telling them what to do, the people descended into anarchy while Messina watched gleefully.

During the subsequent Battle of New York, Messina realized Red Mist had been slain and viciously led several gangsters in the final battle against the S.M.S.B. for the sake of his freshly deceased master. He flew to the scene himself with his jetpack to fight the S.M.S.B., who was already locked in combat with nearly three dozen Z-series quartz fighters which, unbeknownst to him, served a hidden demonic power deep in the heart of Venus. In the ensuing battle, Messina engaged Master Intelligence. However, Master Intelligence drove him off with his rockets, and he turned to Red X. When he attempted to attack Red X, however, Red X reacted in a bizarre way, unintentionally releasing pink energy at him before blasting ahead and toward Bast Castle. Messina angrily flew away just before the veil between dimensions snapped for good, locking him outside of subspace. Returning to the battlefield, he was interceded by his dog Tiffany, but he accidentally kicked her in the head as he sidestepped a projectile, resulting in Tiffany's skull breaking, killing her. Messina was saddened and enraged by the death of his beloved pet. As Red Mist's thugs began to fall back, he threw a smoke grenade between himself and his enemies, releasing poisonous gas that killed hundreds of officers and civilians. However, his enemies retaliated and one of the gangsters became infuriated by his reckless surprise attack, angrily stabbing him repeatedly in the chest and ending his life.

Messina is a sallow-skinned and intimidating man of average height, with a broad and stocky build. He has dark brown scrubby hair and a matching moustache. He has grey eyes. Messina is a psychopath and a sadist, who takes pleasure from exerting power over others and "freeing" people from life. He enjoys watching fear and suffering in his victims as much the act of mutilating and executing them. His main driving force is chaotic nihilism, and this seems to be reflected in his general disregard for anyone other than Red Mist. Messina had no qualms murdering children as well. He has an obsessive fixation on being the sole person on whom Red Mist can rely, and becomes immensely jealous and annoyed when anyone else has Red Mist's attention and confidence, leading him to act rashly to reinstate his position. Messina performs exceedingly crucial and major tasks for Red Mist, and hence has the crime lord's full confidence and trust. Messina sadistically romanticizes crime (unknowingly thus worshiping the demon known as the Umbralord). Despite being a pawn of the demon, it was revealed that Messina is more than capable of waging war against his enemies even without the Umbralord's influence; this was shown when the Umbralord stated that while he may have inspired Messina, Red Mist, and Rose to create certain measures for their plans, he doesn't force them to initiate their revolution to take down the enemies as they are capable of doing it themselves due to their free will. This proves that even before Rose took advantage of Messina's infatuation and the Umbralord came into the picture by suggesting a more intellectual approach to the revolution, Messina already hungered for power and for America's destruction. He is a competent manipulator who is constantly observing the situation around him and trying to lead it in a direction that best suits his and Red Mist's needs. Messina was devastated by his death and this induced him to become sinister and malevolent enough to wipe out hundreds of civilians and dozens of officers with his lethal gas. Hence, he led the fray with gangsters during the climactic Battle of New York. His undoing was that his methods were too extreme even for his allies, one of who ruthlessly killed him, leaving his objective of vengeance in vain and avenging those he massacred. Despite Messina's irredeemable traits, he has a softer side, as seen in his relationship with Tiffany, whom he lovingly refers to as his "darling". She is the only creature he treats with any true affection, despite barking at her at times when enraged. The only remorse he ever displayed was after accidentally killing her with his spiked boot, immediately redirecting his anguish and rage toward the resistance fighters as a unit for causing it in the first place. Additionally, Messina has a very intense crush on Rose Johannson, despite her being an unattainable goal even for the likes of him.

Messina has some proficiency in combat, favoring the advantage of speed and height that his jetpack provides him with against his opponents. However, he rarely does fight in battles as he tends to let his men do the fighting. Messina is skilled with conventional firearms, to the point that he was able to blast the wing of the skyfighter of the extremely sophisticated Master Intelligece with a machine gun before he could react and even though it was currently shooting through subspace, demonstrating his exceptional accuracy. Messina was an intelligent individual, with his intellect mainly extending to his superb understanding of criminology (to the point of him sadistically romanticizing crime, much to the Umbralord's delight), as well as his considerable tactical, strategic, and leadership skills. Messina is an expert interrogator and takes deep pleasure in the torture and murder of his victims. Messina was capable of sneaking up on Master Intelligence and blasting the wing of his skyfighter before he could react and even though it was shooting through subspace. Messina owned a heavily armored jetpack which even worked when he was in subspace.

Messina has an obsessive fixation on being the sole person on whom Red Mist can rely, and relishes watching him lean into criminal and unethical behavior. He is immensely jealous and annoyed when anyone else has Red Mist's attention and confidence, leading him to act in a petty and sometimes rash manner to reinstate his position. Messina performs exceedingly crucial and major tasks for Red Mist, and hence has the crime lord's full confidence and trust. The young man was devastated by his death as well as the death of his precious dog and it made him capable of committing genocide, in his grief. He immediately led his fellow gangsters into battle in Red Mist's name during the Battle of New York. Rose Johannson was Messina's dream girl, and while he trusted her with his lie, Rose was loyal to Messina only because of the power Red Mist was offering her, and felt no true attachments to the depraved man. He appears in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect*.

### **Metta**

Metta is a member of the Gods who may or may not literally exist. His followers eventually remade a secret society into one with the sole purpose of finally bringing Metta back onto the Earth in order to conquer it. The deity called Metta had managed to cultivate a strong cult of personality with certain humans who worshiped him as a god. Believing he was destined to conquer the Earth, these disciples ran afoul of the ways of Lord Helgoth and established a secret society dedicated to bringing Metta back and, in the meantime, destablizing Earth so that the world would be ready for him when he did return. When Helgoth discovered what his men were doing, he attempted to stop them, but he was overthrown by Orsono. The story of the Legions of Metta's attempts to bring their leader back to Earth was eventually spread through the world, influencing groups obsessed with death and ritualistic killings, becoming intertwined with the origin of pagan devil myths. The original copy of the writings of Lord Helgoth was owned by his successor and stored in Helgoth's treasury. Metta believed himself destined to rule the world, and was determined to fulfill his destiny. He is mentioned in *Sebiscuits: Renascence*.

### **Meyer family**

#### *Reyenne Meyer'*

"*I knew Superhero School had much more to offer its devotees, that there were deeper secrets to learn there and deeper powers to harness, but I didn’t have the strength to receive such things. I chose to settle for a normal high school experience and so I came back home to find a job in DC.*"
―Reyenne Meyer to Lindsay Kellerman[src]
Reyenne Meyer is a contact of Sebiscuits Cardarphen and an employee at the Spaise Regulation Panel, a branch of the United States Department of Transportation. After the malevolent Knights of Plague were destroyed for good, she interfered and helped get everyone to safety. She lost her robot ART-100 under suspicious circumstances, leaving her fate a complete mystery. She attended Superhero School in the 1990s, but she eventually dropped out due to not seeking true enlightenment or greater power. She eventually found work at the Spaise Matrix Panel, although she somehow became acquainted with Queen Zygen shortly before her death over Dol Gridle. It was around this time that Reyenne acquired a robot named ART-100, whom she treated as a friend and accomplice.

By January of 2052, Reyenne was a middle-aged woman with amber-bronze hair and a kindly disposition who still worked dubiously at her job. She was also a professional contact of Sebiscuits Cardarphen. After the Battle of Jupiter ended in the favor of the Band of Justice and their allies, Master Intelligence summoned ART-100 into the Tavern of Tombs. Arriving with ART-100, Ramona followed them to the MBH. At the MBH, Ramona assisted ART-100 in sending a message to the U.S. Government, initiating an imminent trial for the Gladiator at the Mutamon. Returning to Transylvania Quarters, she explored the mansion and finally chose to remain there. Days later, Ramona Meyer acquired ART-100, which would much later make Thomas Meyer wonder what happened to Reyenne, as the circumstances were much more suspicious than he had initially believed.

Reyenne is a humble, serious, and mild-mannered woman of small goals. After reaching her teenage years practicing the arts of superheroes and other high-class mutant arts, rather than seeking true enlightenment and further power, she settled for her current knowledge and decided to have a normal experience in high school. She was compassionate enough to help the S.M.S.B. even though it jeopardized her position in the Spaise Matrix. She appears in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Latest Threat*.

### **Cooper Miller**

Cooper Miller is a male teenage student and a high-ranking member of the Decemahead under the Armies of Organa, his callsign being six. His father was a spokesperson for the Guild of Gourds, but he frowned upon their cause and opted to join Vincent Organa. When he was young, he and his adventurous yet naive friends experienced much mishap when they hiked across the treacherous Zigzag of Much Twist. During the School War, he became very loyal to the Decemahead's new leader, Steven Thompson, and fought in the Battle in the Red Battlements. Along with Dean Dixon, Cooper Miller is the only member of the Decemahead not to appear in *Boys vs. Girls 2* or *Boys vs. Girls 2 Prelude*. He is very loyal and charismatic. Ever since he was a small boy, he was impulsive and enjoyed taking risks. He eventually learned how to build a fire. In 2020, he lied to his parents that he was going to a friend's house for a sleepover. In reality, he went with several of his friends on a hike across a treacherous and slightly alien landmark called the Zigzag of Much Twist. Miller was prepared in case the food brought by the friend responsible was unsatisfactory, and brought with him a can of Cream of Mushroom soup. Unfortunately, none of them were very experienced in hiking. The way it turned out, his friend brought undercooked salmon to eat, which Miller chose not to partake of. He went to sleep in the middle of the trail with the others in a tent, but when he awoke, they were all vomiting and he was not. His boots were filled with sand. Much to his irritation, Miller's health allowed him proper coordination required for pitching their tent, so he did it all by himself. Realizing one of his friends was limping, he lent him his shoes so he would not be barefoot, and he tied two blocks of wood to his legs. However, he failed to factor in the splinters his feet were about to endure. Hence, he ran to the car, using sticks to mark a clear hiking trail. Thankfully, one of his friends recovered more quickly than the others, and he helped him drag the ill ones to the car so they could return home. Upon his return, he felt very ill himself and finally began to vomit like his friends. His mother was furious because she assumed he had returned to Porter's house to mess around again. Believing her reaction to the truth would be much worse, Miller ultimately chose to allow her to assume that.

Having abandoned interest in any form regarding the Guild of Gourds, Miller joined the Armies of Organa under Vincent Organa. Eventually, he became a member of the Decemahead. Cooper and company were trapped on a rollercoaster. He forgot he had brought his cell phone, so he did not dial anyone for help. When it began ringing, Summer Petersen implored that he make a call, but just as Steven Thompson expressed his hopes it wouldn't happen, he accidentally dropped it. They arranged to find something to do, but Miller insulted Charles Hugh when he suggested explaining why Neptune took so long to be civilized. When Watson unexpectedly showed up in person, Miller threatened her, who mocked them and called Miller on his unimaginative comeback. Miller worked with Thompson at the Boy-Team's headquarters and also began working with Helen McKeen after she reformed. Although most people were too afraid to approach her due to her intense demeanor and criminal history, Miller chose to give her a chance to prove she was truly redeemed, and eventually he came to regard her as a close friend. When they, along with Dustin, recounted the most dramatic things that had ever happened to them prior to the war, Miller regaled them with his treacherous hike across the Zigzag of Much Twist in 2010.

Eventually, the Girl-Team fleet under Emily Watson and insurgent Summer Petersen launched a siege of the entire Decemahead. The group captured Miller and detained him with his fellow Boy-Team leaders in the detention unit of the Red Battlements. Realizing that they had been lured away from Tower Placement, Steven Thompson, Charles Hugh, and Helen McKeen made their way back to Provo, where they set out to rescue the captive members of their organization's leading body. They eventually found them being monitored by Emily Watson. The four of them dueled. Emily Watson was aware that this duel was meant to rescue Cooper Miller. Steven Thompson was thrown against a wall, but Helen McKeen and Charles continued to fight. When McKeen disarmed the villain and had her down on her knees with both Watson’s laser sword and her pistol crossed at her neck, Watson immediately escaped. This was a victory for Miller, who was subsequently set free. The group was later captured by Summer Petersen, who was now an insurgent, but Petersen secretly let them go free. The entire Decemahead met together inside Thunder Quarters and Thompson went after the Orc Devil. Subsequently, Miller rushed into the dungeon, where the entire organization battled the enigmatic monster to a stalemate. Like Josh, he had some issues of his own that Steven realized in the events leading up to the Liberation of Utah.

Cooper Miller appeared to be good-natured and easygoing, though also somewhat naïve. He was not interested in the Guild of Gourds even though his parents certainly were, and instead turned his loyalty towards the Armies of Organa. Noted to be extremely curious by his friends much to his embarrassment, Miller had a headstrong nature which often led him into trouble, most notably displayed by venturing into the Zigzag of Much Twist in the first place. A mark of his impulsive foolishness is tying two blocks of wood to his feet as a substitution with shoes, which effectively protected them from the charred floor, but also left his feet covered in splinters. While daring with an appetite for risk as well as somewhat foolish, Summer Petersen once noted that his need to do what was right and "maybe find a little adventure along the way" reminded her of her brother, Joshua. Miller treated his friends with respect. Miller's selfless and concern for the well-being of others led him to let his friend, who was limping, wear his shoes. Although most people were too afraid to approach Helen McKeen due to her intense demeanor and criminal history, Miller chose to give her a chance to prove she was truly redeemed, and eventually he regarded her as a close friend who in turn considered him someone she could confide with. Throughout the School War, Miller proved himself a courageous member of the Decemahead dedicated to defeating Emily Watson. Though brash, he was also charismatic, and he had endless respect for Vincent Organa and Steven Thompson. He appears in *Boys vs. Girls: The Coming Darkness*, *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent*, and *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*.

### **Mira**

 File:DIT B4 Mira CloseUp TSB4D-5684.jpg
Mira is the third member of the Arcanus. Little is known about Mira's life prior to the NoHeads, but she claimed to be an only child. She discovered her power, Devil Mode, at a young age, and subsequently harbored a penchant for the Darkness. She attended Superhero School in her youth and the Booth of Orientation placed her in Class E, but she was expelled in her fifth year (possibly owing to her appreciation for the darker side of mutantry). In 2028, she made friends with Bartholomew Gales, especially because she knew that no one appreciated him. When Kenzie sought advice from Annabeth about her crush, Mira listened in as Annabeth suggested that she relax in front of Qamar and be true to herself. Annabeth later questioned her on this, but when Mira realized that Black was a mind invader, she finally spoke up and apologized. To Mira's surprise, Annabeth forgave her and told her to do likewise if she ever encountered such a situation. Upon learning about Operation: Assault, Mira offered to help Galfalor of Eris build the Robotic Monster that the plan necessitated. Galfalor disagreed, however, believing she did not have the skill. She would later learn that Rebecca assisted in the construction process. Despite being somewhat jealous of this, she never held any ill will towards the young woman. After the Battle of the Dark Barrier, she stood by Rebecca when she ruthlessly decapitated Qamar for trying to contact President Clinton and surrendering, and she would have been eager to do it herself, much to the chagrin of Kenzie Walters.

### **Monroe**

"*He says he was under mind control, if you can believe that bullcrap. Monroe would French kiss a scorpion if the Gladiator told him to.*"
―{{{2}}}
Monroe is a wealthy aristocrat born in 1987 who was the second ever to join the Knights of Plague. Monroe was educated at Superhero School, where he was made a prefect in 1999. As an adult, Monroe was an aristocratic mutant, and secretly a faithful servant of the Gladiator, believing strongly in the superiority of mutants. He participated in his master's campaign, assisting on several fronts. Monroe was born into a very old, wealthy and gentry mutant family in 1987, and raised in the lap of luxury at the family estate, a magnificent mansion. From a very young age, Monroe was taught that as a mutant, he was very special. As such, his father, who was known to possess many of the qualities that have distinguished so many of Monroe's ancestors, taught his son about the prudence of maintaining an appearance of respectability to preserve their status of prominence among their kind, as well as the importance of retaining the goodwill of the ruling class from which the family could benefit. Taught to take great pride in his heritage, Monroe was encouraged to mainly associate himself with children who were mutants like himself, and to keep his distance from Fobbles.

In 1994, at the age of seven, he began attending Superhero School, by which time the amount of Dark activity across America had began to increase steadily, and the community was thus marked by the precursor to the NoHeads' first uprising. During his education, he began to mingle with people who, being shrewd and ambitious like himself, would discreetly discuss the uprising of the NoHeads and express a shared aspiration to join their cause one day. During his school career, he did a very good job academically and displayed above-average intelligence and ability. In his fifth year, Monroe was made a prefect, which showed the hard work he put into appearing a model student in the eyes of his teachers. He also warmly welcomed Jamboga Pine and Amarone Chalsey into the fold, and they would later become close friends. Despite this, Monroe would turn down Pine's offer to join the Time Army. Monroe graduated from Superhero School in 2005.

Monroe joined the Gladiator immediately after his graduation, and was the first person besides George ever to join him. He fought on several fronts. Some such as Evan Jones strongly distrusted him. However, he was presumably imprisoned later on, as the Gladiator mentioned giving him his liberty back, and he had previously mentioned this in the same context to someone else. In 2051, the Gladiator learned that a woman named Alicia had conspired to having Transylvania Quarters torn down. Feeling threatened by this, the Gladiator sent Monroe to stop her from sending in the message. However, because Monroe failed to capture her and Alicia proceeded to the Town Hall, he was no longer held in high regard by the Gladiator. The Gladiator openly mocked Monroe at a Knight of Plague meeting in the following week, taking Monroe's exosword to duel Master Intelligence in the future. Monroe had become little more than a servant. Subsequently, the Gladiator began searching for the Orb of Power. Monroe joined several other Knights in their failed attempts to breach the Court of Domination and steal the orb. Although Monroe requested to possess a government bodyguard named Fredrick Powell, since he was skilled in the subject, the Gladiator insisted Rudolph Lestange do it instead. However, this attempt was short-lived, as Powell failed to obtain the orb, therefore causing the Gladiator to murder Powell.

Early in 2052, the Gladiator lured Lindsay Kellerman to Transylvania Quarters precipitating the Mission to Transylvania Quarters. When the Gladiator failed to pry the fake Orb of Power from Master Intelligence, a battle broke out. After a brief chase, Master Intelligence regrouped with the other members of the S.M.S.B. and telekinetically smashed the shelves, distracting the Knights of Plague so they could flee. Monroe attempted to pursue, but he was then injured by the collapsing shelves. When Rudolph Lestange and Caberra pursued them by flying above the shelves, the S.M.S.B. members made for the adjoining Time Chamber pursued by the other Knights of Plague and sealed the door behind them, but then they were separated. During the pursuit, Monroe broke Force Baby's ankle, though Force Baby hurled him away and he was subsequently injured when Sebiscuits blasted apart the model of the planet Pluto in the Space Chamber. While the members regrouped, the Knights of Plague swooped down and briefly incapacitated everyone. Monroe joined everyone else on Jupiter, where the vicious fighting resumed. As Monroe stood by, the Gladiator slipped and fell, and the orb fell out of his hand and was ferried to safety. Most of the members attempted to escape, though a few stayed to fight. Master Intelligence insisted they couldn’t leave without Andromeda and Sebiscuits, who were fighting George and Becca Smith. Meanwhile, Monroe was able to defeat Zackene in a duel. Just then, Master Intelligence defeated and captured the Gladiator, and Monroe emerged, the third-last opponent still standing apart from George and Becca. He took on Baby Strength, but when Master Intelligence returned and Monroe attempted to flee in fear of dueling him, having seen the demise of their master. Master Intelligence quickly rounded up numerous Knights of Plague, announcing their capture. Because Monroe survived the Battle of Jupiter, he was captured and sent to Beta Prison along with the rest of the surviving Knights of Plague, never to be released.

Monroe had a pale, pointed face, with pale blond hair draping over his shoulders and cold grey eyes. After spending a year in the mutant prison of Beta Prison, his looks suffered greatly because of it, his skin taking on a yellowish and waxy look, and his eyes sunken and shadowed. His voice was also quite hoarse. Despite being very wealthy, Monroe was a ruthless bigot; he took great pride in his aristocratic stature, viewing himself as being racially superior to Muggles and dark-skinned people. He was also an extremely shrewd, opportunistic social climber who was good at controlling others but behind his veneer of respectability, he treated people cruelly. Monroe could be exceptionally intelligent and manipulative when he needed to be. Monroe was skilled with controlling other people's minds, which he usually did in order to force them to do uncharacteristic things. The fact that Monroe was capable of running unarmed through the midst of several raging battles and evade being hit of numerous attacks sent off by the various combatants on both sides speaks well of his reflexes, which would indeed have served him well in dueling. He was very capable in his own right. Whereas some of the other Knights of Plague were forced to break their ranks early on during the Battle of Transylvania when S.M.S.B. members attempted to incapacitate them, Monroe showed proficient reflexes in deflecting Sebiscuits Cardarphen's stun beam with relative ease.

### **Moon**

 File:Moon..JPG

"*The only thing more exhausting than going into lover-mode is putting up with Valhalla's bullshit."
"You've only met her twice."
"Two times too many.*"
―Moon and Wanda[src]
Moon worked as a bodyguard to Al Rooker, a dealer in the black market who deluded himself into thinking she had a crush on him. Having had dealings with an Oltrist named Valhalla in the past, she and her employer were visited by her in the early autumn of 2034. Her words infuriated Moon, and the two girls were about to get violent when Vincent Organa had Valhalla leave with him. Weeks later, Genesis arrived with Wanda, both beings hoping that Moon would bear false testimony against the Band of Justice and the Martian population as a whole. Moon had a very serious and no-nonsense mindset, being annoyed by Al Rooker's delusions that she fancied him and utterly aggravated by Valhalla's disrespect towards him. When empowered through her black staff, Moon could create powerful rays of light as bright as the sun on the warmer solar end of the spectrum. She repelled several enemies early in 2035.

### **Mordo**

Mordo is a member of the Knights of Mae. During the NoHead Cataclysm, she was assigned to protect a group of trainees. Paige Nelson, who was leading the attack, caught her doing this and initiated a duel with her. Mordo lost and was subsequently slain. Martin joined Mae and they came to Stuuu in 2017. That night, Martin and Mae discussed the sacrifices she would have to make in order to fully become a knight. She had neither family nor friends to abandon, and worldly possessions were of no consequence to her; all she had was the desire for an even greater existence than what she had had thus far. She was therefore inspired by Mae to rename herself as a symbol of her knightly rebirth. The name she chose was “Mordo,” a testament to her cruel nature. Pleased by her decision, the Dark Knight christened her with the “Knight” appellation, but advised that her training could not officially begin until the matter of her current apprentice was resolved. She inquired as to whether or not Mordo’s visions had revealed the outcome of her battle with the armored woman, but the woman asserted that what she had seen with respect to their confrontation had been indeterminate; sometimes she saw her as the victor, in others, the armored woman prevailed. Mae surmised that Mordo’s visions were unclear because her apprentice had since become her equal. Mordo was left to ponder her words while she went to summon her student for one final showdown. She suspected that the black-haired woman would arrive with substantial reinforcements with which to ensure her victory, but Mae disagreed and gave her a preliminary description of the tenets of her principles. Understanding dawned on her, and she vowed to refrain from interfering when the dark woman arrived. Hence, she was horrified upon learning this mysterious woman was a baby. During the Battle of Golgolod, she was assigned to protect a group of trainees at Golgolod. Paige Nelson, who was leading the attack, caught her doing this and initiated a duel with her. After briefly dueling Nelson, Mordo was killed. She appears in *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Mae* and *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Sheriff Bladepoint*.

### **Patrick Morgan**

"*But Ronan is the prettiest woman in the universe."
"While I will not disagree with that, I will not, under any circumstances, marry a woman I know to be a faithless, conniving, back-stabbing mutant simply because I am absolutely desperate for a mate of legendary beauty and considerable status. Of course, we can still date.*"
―Underling and Patrick Morgan[src]
Patrick Morgan Junior is a major antagonist in *Demolition One* and the servant of the enigmatic being known as "The Asteroid" and an enemy of Ronan and the Demolitions. He desired to initiate a homicidal agenda known as the Expansion for his master, who was secretly influenced by Peint. He became a servant of the enigmatic being known as "The Asteroid" and an enemy of Ronan and the Demolitions. He desired to initiate a homicidal agenda known as the Expansion for his master. He was discreetly induced by the divine influence of Peint to better serve the Asteroid. Morgan asserted that he would never, under any circumstances, marry Ronan. When the underling protested that no one in the universe equaled her physical attractiveness, Morgan, while in agreement, made it clear he would not marry a cunning and disloyal human being simply because he desired a mate with a body and social status that transcended most others, ruefully adding that he was open to dating her.

After Bailey Dennings was left unguarded, Patrick Morgan attacked her directly. As they continued to fight throughout the chambers, the desperate Dennings soon found herself being overpowered by the highly trained Morgan and at one point attempted to intimidate Morgan by using a wheel chaffe, which unnerved him until Patrick realized that Bailey did not even know what she was currently holding. Believing that their fight would soon be over, Morgan began knocking Dennings through all of the glass containers, temporarily subduing the horrified teenager. Just as Patrick was about to kill Bailey, the sentient Gurgen intervened and blocked the attack before it fought back against Patrick Morgan. Frustrated by this, Morgan threw Dennings off the balcony, only for Gurgen to quickly wedge itself between her pliable fingers and lifted Dennings back into the fight, where she began using Gurgen as a melee weapon and continued battling Morgan with all of her remaining might. Having no idea how to channel Gurgen's energies or even what they could do, Dennings then used the mystical staff to fight Morgan until she was again overpowered and thrown across the room. While Dennings attempted to charge towards her enemy to continue fighting with their abilities, Morgan disarmed her by swinging his crossbow at her wrist and then seized the opportunity to finally kill the practically helpless teenage girl, and he started to electrocute and almost kill her. However, Dennings regained all of her strength, and was able to kick Morgan off the side of the stairway, causing him to smash into a wall. As he attempted to regain his footing, Dennings charged down the stairway and kicked his head, killing him, and yelled at him to stay down only to realize he had stopped moving.

Patrick Morgan appears to be a warm and friendly person and a grandfatherly and endlessly compassionate character. However, this is all a facade, as he is a cold and ruthless person with no regard for the lives of anyone other than his fellow followers of the Asteroid, especially Underling, and of his master himself. Like several others, Patrick Morgan was genuinely attracted to Ronan because of her physical beauty and high standing in the Klaytonian military, having no idea she was a child whose growth development was warped by a scientific accident. However, he never allowed this to offer Ronan an opening, as he still believed in his heart of hearts that she was sneaky and completely disloyal to his master, who was the Asteroid. Still, he ruefully adding that he was open to dating her, though it can be assumed that he was joking. Ultimately, however, when he discovered she was a mutant, he became very frightened of her. Despite his ambition and sadistic psychopathy, Morgan shows a fear for his own life, and is absolutely terrified of beings of godlike power, like Peint and Ronan.

Patrick Morgan Junior was exceptionally intelligent, which made him an ideal ally for the Asteroid. It should be noted, however, that Morgan was given some covert assistance on his works from Peint. Like several others, Patrick Morgan was genuinely attracted to Ronan because of her physical beauty and high standing in the Klaytonian military, having no idea she was a child whose growth development was warped by a scientific accident. However, he never allowed this to offer Ronan an opening, as he still believed in his heart of hearts that she was sneaky and completely disloyal to his master, who was the Asteroid.

### **Mos**

Mos is the leader of the Confederacy, which he founded more than four thousand years ago to rise to become the most powerful alien coven in existence. He led them to Sol to work in the shadows to help protect the eight planets in return for the protection of the Octon Corps, becoming a background villain in *Superquack* and *Superquack: Relapse of Power*, scheduled to reappear in the currently unreleased *Superquack: Focal Point*. Because of his inability to sleep, he studies the arts at night. By 2020, he covertly supported the Outriders, at which point Morgan decided to appeal to the Confederacy at their campsite, yet he denied her travel agency. Hence, she did not become directly involved until Mr. Tutusymbol pulled some strings to bring her to Tutu Land to fight C-4, with Mos smugly believing she would certainly perish at the robot's hands. Although Morgan survived the vicious duel, she still did not become directly involved until becoming Superquack's sidekick, as the official promotion of a prominent member of the Metro Board overrode Mos' authority, making him furious.

### **Mella Mou**

"*You’d better watch it. I am no mutant, but I know the Darkness.*"
―Mella[src]Mella Mou is an infamous crime lady from China and the opening antagonist in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Inferno Relit*. During the Skirmish in the Palace of Despair, however, she was killed in an explosion and her criminal reign came to an end. Born in 2047, Mella lived in China for her entire life. Mella became a powerful and influential crime lady, and during this time, she based her illicit operation out of her palace in China, from where she spread her operations and influence across the surrounding countries by employing a network of smugglers who moved her goods across the world. Her operations grew to include slavery, arms dealing, spice smuggling, and gambling. She also became very learned about the Darkness, and rooted for the Unifiers. At one point, she became obsessively in love with a man named Shao Mou, and was delighted when she learned that he returned her affections.

In 2093, Mella’s troops captured Wesley Carrier. When Master Intelligence and the other members of the S.M.S.B. were captured by Imperial scouts and brought to the Palace, Mella Mou used the effects of Pitial Defilatelum in order to learn what recent people Master Intelligence had engaged. When she learned that Shao Mou was one of them, she panicked. Mella then injured all the scouts, intending to kill them later, as Sir Roast was unwilling to himself. Master Intelligence and Telekinibabe were then separated from Lindsay and the others. Mella interrogated and tortured Lindsay, but Lindsay still did not confirm Shan’s death under unbearable pain. But Mella thought that they had crippled him and thus he was sent to the hospital, so she told Sir Roast to get Ida (her wisest recruit) from her quarters to tell her if Shao Mou was dead at all. Ida confirmed this to be true. After Sir Roast was killed by Sebiscuits after showing mercy and loosening the grip he had on Master Intelligence’s throat, Master Intelligence and Telekinibabe escaped the cellar and proceeded up the stairs to aid Lindsay. Mella threatened Lindsay with her knife, after Master Intelligence injured Ida and Zhensheng and Telekinibabe disarmed her. While holding the knife to an unconscious Lindsay’s throat, Mella demanded that the prisoners drop their swords, and then told Link to fetch her sword for her. However, George Thames teleported and created a diversion and caused the chandelier to fall from above Mella’s head, making her release Lindsay and jump out of the way. She lashed out at the man, but Retrowoman intervened. With that, Mella was killed in an explosion caused by Retrowoman. Although the group would escape, Link killed George by hurling a series of anvils into the teleportation vortex.

Mella Mou was seven feet tall and was extremely obese. She had a bulbous face, with scarlet lips. Her black hair had a gray streak in a bun. A brash and sadistic woman with brutal tendencies, she was intelligent, but could be easily distracted, and had a fierce and dangerous temper. She was immensely proud of her status as the highest crime lord in China. Mella was egotistical and arrogant, described by Master Intelligence as “treat[ing] everyone like scum.” However, she was still very intelligent and was very learned of the dark side, despite being a Muggle herself. She had excellent leadership skills, as she was able to build her criminal empire that she ran. She was very decisive and ruthless as well. Despite her cruel personality, she was not incapable of feeling love. For example, she was obsessively in love with Shao Mou, and reacted savagely to his death. She is the opening antagonist in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Inferno Relit*.

### **Mr. Crooked NoHead**

A man calling himself Mr. Crooked NoHead was an acquaintance of Mr. Stupid NoHead who named himself after his ally's depraved father. His name was formed by combining and juxtaposing the names of two horrible Dark mutants: Doctor Crooked and Mr. Devilish NoHead. He is the senary antagonist in *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Sheriff Bladepoint*. In August 2023, Mr. Crooked NoHead called an important meeting outside Golgolod. Meanwhile, Paige woke up in the middle of the night and went on a walk. During this, she saw Mr. Crooked NoHead and several other NoHeads rendezvousing at the base. Mr. Crooked NoHead was planning to blow up the police station with detonators in a crucial step to retake the world. Just as Paige prepared to report this, Mr. Crooked NoHead caught her eavesdropping on them. Crooked welcomed her into the room and, after a brief confrontation between the two, Crooked attempted to kill her by means of a death beam. Paige countered the beam with a force field, causing them to rebound. Despite Crooked and the others opening fire, Paige managed to flee the base, and rallied the message to the police. In a turn of fate, she convinced them to help her destroy the NoHead menace once and for all. To do this, she also brought up an invasion on the Town Hall that had been narrowly backfired.

Soon after, Paige led the police in a raid against Golgolod. When this happened, Mr. Crooked NoHead’s skills marked him as a priority target for elimination by the ringleader herself. Though NoHeads Mrs. Wretched NoHead and Lin Dire directed Golgolod’s defense the night of the attack, Mr. Crooked NoHead nonetheless played a major part that fateful night. He was in the process of giving dueling lessons to teenage apprentices Bruce and Wren Morenno when Paige began her murderous rampage. Deep within Golgolod he prepared for Paige’s coming, directing older NoHead students such as Elana Chian in the Base’s defense. Engaging the police alongside Mr. Despised NoHead, Crooked’s efforts proved initially successful, as he managed to penetrate the occupying forces’ upper level defenses. As Paige was alerted to this, however, she went on a hunt for the NoHead grandmaster. Entering Crooked’s territory, Paige discovered what carnage had been wrought there, with dead police and the signs of battle being everywhere. Before Mr. Crooked NoHead could move against the preteen, however, Ms. Bitter NoHead confronted Paige on her own, and was slain.

As Mr. Crooked NoHead rushed into the room, he witnessed Kit fall to the mutant. Engaging Paige in the Base’s training hall along with two of his students, Bruce and Wren Morenno, they were nonetheless unable to defeat the middle grader. Paige outclassed both initiates, hurling a Force field into Bruce with one hand while she dueled Mr. Crooked NoHead with the other. After the demise of the students, Paige was forced to escape when Crooked disarmed her, though he was hot on her tail. Crooked burst through the doorway and attacked, Paige lured him to the main chamber, where he attempted to kill her, slashing at her and cutting down structures with reckless abandon. Finally, when the battle spilled onto the rooftops, Paige disarmed Crooked. Paige then knocked him over and tied his cloak to the roof. Rushing over, Paige aimed a missile at Mr. Crooked NoHead, which propelled him into a steel wall. Mr. Crooked NoHead was killed in the explosion.

While a very capable man, as a result of his arrogance and his lack of precognitive abilities resulting from his dark infection, he never saw his own death coming. Mr. Crooked NoHead possessed a connection to the Darkness, though a rudimentary one as he was less of a Dark mutant and more of a thug who enjoyed causing trouble. Mr. Crooked NoHead was also skilled in swordplay, although he disdained using his blade in combat, regarding sword duels as pointlessly tedious affairs; Mr. Stupid NoHead acknowledged his father as a master of the art. Mr. Crooked NoHead had on one occasion utilized dual-bladed on Max Tegan. Mr. Crooked NoHead was a very capable combatant, absorbing bullets and then channeling it into lightning, an ability that he was also very skilled in. While fighting his assassins, Crooked was able to use a heart stunning technique to keep his own heart from failing, and conjured up a telekinetic shove so powerful, that he was able to atomize six of his assailants, and bring it around to atomize a few more. He could enhance his bellow to which it was as powerful as any sonic weapon and he was able to turn any object into a deadly projectile with just a clap of his hands. He was able to successfully cast mind control on Mrs. Wretched NoHead, allowing him to have a sexual affair with her against her will. His proficiency gave implication to his formidable skill. When Mr. Crooked NoHead died, Mr. Stupid NoHead gave him a proper burial despite the former being of no sincere value to him.

### **Mr. Danny**

Mr. Danny is the Math teacher at Tower Placement School and the cousin of a chiropractor and a friend of Helen McKeen. In 2021, Steven Thompson became a student in his classes, and his acquired celebrity status made Danny feel honored to be the one to educate him. Unfortunately, he retired in 2022, feeling abhorred by the school's inability to put an end to the war, and seeking a safer place from the widespread anarchy in the West. Although he was kind and outgoing, Tanesha Thompson pitied him because of his short height. Unfortunately, he retired in 2022, feeling abhorred by the school's inability to put an end to the war, and seeking a safer place from the widespread anarchy in the West.

### **Mr. Fisher**

Mr. Fisher is the junior high Science teacher at Tower Placement School, as well as the advisor for the Science Club. He has been teaching for nearly forty-seven years. He taught Martha Brown when she was in grade six, so he understood that her son, Zachary Brown, did not do very well in school. He was considered to be very boring by his students, and was rarely seen smiling. He was born in at some point prior to 1952. When he was young, he was a Boy Scout. His troop went door-to-door selling umbrellas, something he later considered hard to believe. In around 1969, he became a schoolteacher at Tower Placement School. He taught Mary Brown when she was in grade six, so he understood that her son, Zach, did not do very well in school. He was around in 2021. In 2024, he nearly gave Brown a detention, but took pity on his justification, emphasizing with Brown's desire to help his scout troop, "just this once", because he himself had once been in Brown's shoes during the umbrella sale.

Through decades of experience, Fisher is very learned in science. He teaches it to his students mostly through lectures, causing student Zachary Brown to find him very boring. This is further supported by the fact that he very rarely smiles. He did smile, however, when Brown revealed he was a Boy Scout like him and showed him empathy by forgoing his detention after he justified that he had been "psyched out" by the idea of helping his scout troop after school. Fisher could occasionally come off as cold and unfeeling, though he is actually selfless, devoting his entire life to teaching aspiring children. He also has a tendency to be honest, even in embarrassing situations, such as when he admitted he considered it old-fashioned to sell umbrellas door-to-door. In addition, he is slightly embarrassed about his dentures. He mostly taught his students through sophisticated science lectures. This put him on a par with Zachary Brown, who considered him to be one of the most boring people in Sol.

### **Mr. Jones**

Mr. Jones is a schoolteacher at Tower Placement School and a friend of Valiera Nelson, Miranda Patrick, and Charles Hugh. Nothing is known about Jones' childhood, but he eventually took up a teaching position in an undisclosed middle school and educated seventh graders there. Possibly as late as 2020, Jones accepted a teaching position at Tower Placement School, being given Classroom 246 to teach "Applied Skills" in. He also served as a coach for football. As late as the initial outbreak of the Insurrection of the Cavaliers of Thornton, he developed a healthy rapport with Valiera and Miranda. Both of these students had a tendency to act cold and indifferent, a facade Jones could apparently see through. On September 7, Jones participated in a special class session directed towards Senior students, where Nelson surprised and intrigued a boy named Charles Hugh by showing a deep respect for the teacher. Mr. Jones attended the first football match of the season, where he saw Charles again. On October 4, 2022, Hugh dropped by Jones' classroom and promised to pay him a visit. He reappeared during Tutorial, which Nelson and Patrick were in, the following day, but Jones said Hugh was not in any of his classes and therefore could not attend. He instead opted to visit Jones during Lunch, the two enjoyed their time together and learned much of each other, they immediately became friends. Hugh also asked Jones a few questions about Nelson and Patrick, which he answered with honesty. Jones continually allowed students in his classroom during lunch, and following Winter Break, Steven Thompson and Hugh often hung out there. When Thompson took off to participate in the search for Summer Petersen, Hugh continued to visit Jones consistently. At the end of the year, Jones was angry with Miranda Patrick for her obstinance. He and Charles parted on friendly terms.

Jones was a tall black man and was described by Charles Hugh as being stocky and having something reassuring about his features. He was bald, and wore black glasses. Jones was generally an easygoing and good-natured person, able to get along well with virtually everybody. He was fond of several of his students, including Nelson, Patrick, and Charles, he even went so far as to claim several students in the school were his *"family"*. He is also known to be fond of boots, and had a strong standpoint on what made boots that appeared as either masculine or feminine. Jones was also fond of pop singer Fergie.

### **Mr. Keaton**

Mr. Keaton is the junior high Art teacher at Tower Placement School. He taught Steven Thompson after the Duel in Classroom 130 as his homeroom teacher, before Thompson moved to junior high. The following school year, Keaton became the Art teacher while Pitcher became the Math teacher in his stead. He had a good reputation among his students. He never gave anyone detentions, even Zachary Brown, who was very fond of him and considered him the nicest teacher in the whole school. Near the end of the 2023-24 school year]], Keaton recruited several students to paint scenery for the school play. Among this students were Zachary Brown and former homeroom student Steven Thompson. He instructed Thompson to paint the sky and clouds, while Brown held up the ladder for him. After Thompson spilled paint in Brown's eye, he panicked. Staggering about, Brown knocked over the ladder and Thompson fell on top of him. Horrified, Keaton came rushing over. Thompson insisted that he was used to falling ten feet to the floor, but Keaton gave Brown a detention.

In 2025, Brown tried to get Keaton to put his drawing in the display case in place of his peer Steven Thompson, but Keaton said he had no time. Brown asked his friend Reggan Holme to provide a distraction, and Holme set off a balloon around the classroom. Keaton got the students under control, but then he heard the doorknob to the display case break off. Deducing that Brown had sneaked out of the room to put his drawing on display, Keaton ran outside and gave Brown a detention, the first one he had handed out all year.

Keaton is a kind, outgoing, and mellow teacher. He was described as the nicest teacher in the whole school by Zachary Brown, which was pretty good from Brown considering he hardly liked any teachers at all, and yet he could see Keaton's good qualities nonetheless and actually appreciate them. He never hands out detentions, as he obtains his students' respect by making them like him, rather than reluctantly obey him. It is shown that he makes them work on "special projects" often. He was horrified when Steven Thompson fell off a ladder. Keaton was a kind and friendly teacher, and consequentially he was popular amongst his students. Zachary Brown liked him, saying he was the nicest teacher of all, which was pretty good from Brown considering he hardly liked any teachers at all.

### **Mr. Tutusymbol**

Mr. Tutusymbol is Mr. Baby Tutu’s surrogate son and enforced assistant. He tricks both Morgan and Superquack into doing work for his “boss,” which in reality, involves battling a robot (C-4) specifically designed to kill them. Mr. Tutusymbol is the liaison between Superquack and Mr. Baby Tutu, preventing Superquack from learning the true identity of his employer. Mr. Tutusymbol was born in 2010 to a woman named Pamela, who was very nice to her son. unfortunately, Pamela passed on and he was adopted by an AI named Mr. Baby Tutu. Forcing the child to work for him, he treated him neither as a son nor an accomplice, but as a tool that would obey his every command. Now Mr. Tutusymbol is the right-hand man of Mr. Baby Tutu, having forcedly assisted him in killing off many superheroes to further his plans. He sent many phone calls to lure them to Tutu Island, beginning with Super Whisk Man. To begin the mission to lure Superquack and Morgan to Tutu Island, Mr. Tutusymbol gave Morgan a phone call. They shared a conversation in which Mr. Tutusymbol introduced himself and summoned her to Tutu Island, needing her help in bringing a “highly experimental prototype robot” that is posing a threat to a facility on the island under control. He promised much money to Morgan, but warned she would not be credited for her victory. He then gave her his number and requested she tell Superquack what she heard. The following day, Morgan relayed the message with incredible accuracy. Eager to go, Superquack telephoned Mr. Tutusymbol and told him he was up for the task. When they climbed aboard a manta jet, Mr. Tutusymbol shook hands with Morgan and noted and complimented Superquack’s new suit before they took off en route to Tutu Island. While riding the jet, Mr. Tutusymbol told Morgan and Superquack about the dangers of a deadly robot called the Dinobot and instructed them to disable the copycat robot quickly as they can without destroying it or losing their lives. After the duo succeeded in shutting down C-4 they were faced with, they joined Mr. Tutusymbol for dinner in a dining hall of the island’s base and Superquack asked him where his host was, to which he replied that the mysterious host was unable to join them. When Morgan questioned the necessity of the lava wall, Mr. Tutusymbol said his father “prefers to guard the kitchen.”

Almost two months later, Mr. Tutusymbol approached Superquack again after he made some public boasts about stopping the acts of terror. He met with them at the Plasma Bay, bringing them into a room he rented out for them for their upcoming confrontation. Arriving at the guest quarters, Tutusymbol told both of them to be at room B972 at 3 o’clock for them to be briefed on their next assignment, leading them to be confronted by another Outrider monster, as well as its creator and his host: Mr. Baby Tutu, who was determined to remove one of the most prominent obstacles to the hidden terrorist plot. After being informed that Mr. Baby Tutu and the world at large believed Superquack and Morgan dead, Mr. Tutusymbol went into C-5’s computer control room (a secret chamber behind a lava fall opposite the dining hall) to add their names to the files, adding that they had been killed off. Soon after, he returned and caught Superquack and Morgan, now with a reborn Exogale, in C-5’s computer control room after Superquack said “Oh, no!” a bit too loudly. While working in a containment unit, Mr. Tutusymbol apologized to Superquack for the circumstances and asked once again that he help him fix COVID-19. Morgan brought up the destruction the Outriders were causing, while Superquack urged him to help them escape. Before a visibly conflicted Mr. Tutusymbol could respond, Mr. Baby Tutu arrived and explained the concept behind having John pose as the Iron Godking before commencing an interrogation, demanding to know how Morgan brought Exogale from the dead. Mr. Tutusymbol tried to intervene, angering Superquack and prompting him to lunge for Mr. Tutusymbol. Superquack missed, and Mr. Tutusymbol miserably departed the chamber.

Later that night, Mr. Tutusymbol was eager to follow along as Mr. Baby Tutu soon left to “save” Quackville from his C-5. However, he left Mr. Tutusymbol to die in the trap he had arranged for their enemies. The superheroes escaped and Morgan narrowly saved Mr. Tutusymbol's life. He then went to the hangar control room, where the Supers formulated a plan to take a plane to reach Quackville and use the coordinates from a previous launch, but Superquack surmised that Mr. Baby Tutu has changed the password to prevent them from programming the plane. As he pondered on how the trio was going to access the computer, Tutusymbol spoke over the intercom to say “please.” With help from Mr. Tutusymbol, the Supers were able to return to Quackville to stop C-5, free the Outriders, and foil Mr. Baby Tutu’s plan of Operation: Rampage for good. Finally, Mr. Tutusymbol went to Quackville himself, having stowed away in his father’s hover jet, and witnessed the frenzied chase back to Tutu Land which led to Macroburst destroying Mr. Baby Tutu with his fire. Furious, Mr. Tutusymbol fired the ship’s lasers at Superquack. The explosion knocked him to the ground. Then Mr. Tutusymbol jumped off the jet and glided down to Superquack’s porch. He raised his sword to kill Superquack, but then slumped backward against the house and began crying. Superquack walked over to Mr. Tutusymbol and put his arm around the boy before inquiring to why he was troubled. Mr. Tutusymbol explained it was the death of his parents, as Pamela was already dead. With his entire family gone, he did not know what to do. Superquack scratched his chin, realizing why Mr. Tutusymbol did the things he did. Finally, he offered Mr. Tutusymbol a chance to live with him instead, which Tutusymbol found himself unable to deny. Soon after, Superquack married Morgan, and the latter became his mother.

After the battle, Morgan spent the next four years bringing other Supers back to life. Two months after Morgan returned, Mr. Tutusymbol attended a Superhero Race Superquack and Morgan were in, where Mr. Tutusymbol encouraged them to finish close, before the family encountered the Unhallowed One. Superquack looked over at Morgan with a smile. He looked up, then rushed behind a wall. Superquack turned to Mr. Tutusymbol and told him to find a safe place to hide once the Supers made their move. Mr. Tutusymbol complied, and Superquack broke away. Morgan looked up and fired a beam from her hand, disarming the criminal of his control signal. As the Unhallowed One took notice of his enemies, Mr. Tutusymbol noticed an alleyway nearby and ducked behind the wall of the alley. He remained there throughout the battle. As he saw, the Unhallowed One forced Morgan to the top of the drill, but failed to interrogate her when Morgan fought back. After they dueled briefly, the Unhallowed One began to strangle her. Fortunately, Morgan broke free and resumed the fight, only to be choked again. However, Morgan turned into a fireball, forcing the frantic villain to drop her. Just then, it began to rain, and the flames were put out. The Unhallowed One subsequently fled, and flew all the way to his secret base. Meanwhile, Superquack caught Morgan, stopping her fall from the drill. Suddenly, news cameras rolled in, and they were featured on TV for what they believed to be their victory. Mr. Tutusymbol was also asked how he felt about the event, to which he said it was amazing to watch. Later on, Superquack bought a combat handbook for Mr. Tutusymbol, which he wanted to read right away, but Superquack insisted it was bedtime. As a result, Mr. Tutusymbol immediately began reading the handbook the following morning. The following day, Superquack finally explained the Unhallowed One’s death to Mr. Tutusymbol and apologized for not telling him before. Tutusymbol was also sitting around the table with the other Supers when Sarah explained the ways she had manipulated the others, before her conversion to the light side. Afterwards, Morgan introduced him to Sarah. He later had contact with the S.M.S.B.

When he got older, he began working at Quackville Senior Care. He was at work in New Quackville when the children were stolen right out of their homes by the Celestial Bane. Horrified, he called Morgan on the phone and told her about what happened, imploring her to do whatever it took to rescue them, to which his adoptive mother said that she would try her best. Before ending the call, he wished her luck. When Morgan and Superquack returned to New Quackville with the children they successfully rescued from the Membrane Sphere, Mr. Tutusymbol interacted with them; when Superquack unexpectedly put on a song called "Weight of the World." Getting; into the song, Mr. Tutusymbol began dancing to the song; with Superquack having predicted he would be the first to take a hint and promptly joining him. Before long, hundreds of citizens followed the two men to dance, and as the song neared its end, Mr. Tutusymbol and the other heroes howled with joy over their victory.

Mr. Tutusymbol was slender, and had short blonde hair. He had blue eyes, which he inherited from his mother. Like his father, Mr. Tutusymbol went around in a black superhero costume with a white TS, white gloves, and a relatively narrow black cape. Mr. Tutusymbol is a calm, handsome, charming, and decisive, intellectual. Despite being an enforced servant of the dark side, Mr. Tutusymbol claims to suffer from paranoia, like his father; this is evident when Morgan asks him why there was a lava wall, out of anything, at the far side of the dining room. Mr. Tutusymbol’s decisions seem to focus on control, and the drive behind obtaining it, but more so by force and fear of his adopted father. Unlike Mr. Baby Tutu, Mr. Tutusymbol has standards to how far he is willing to go to achieve his power. This may explain his betrayal of Mr. Baby Tutu, which may be interpreted as a response to loss of power. At first, Mr. Tutusymbol shares in Mr. Baby Tutu’s fear of death. Although he was not initially a bad person, he did share in Mr. Baby Tutu’s taste for calculation and simply to have his own life spared, drew many superheroes and mutants to lose their own lives to near the point where they could release C-5 for its rampage. However, all loyalties faded when he realized Superquack could free him, and when Mr. Baby Tutu expressed no concern for his well being when he was finally hours away from victory. After Mr. Baby Tutu’s death, Superquack was able to see Mr. Tutusymbol for what he truly was — brave, compassionate, hardworking, stubborn, and eternally loyal to the Light. Though he apparently has no superpowers, Mr. Tutusymbol appears to have extensive computing and espionage skills and he claims his identity is kept a secret by the government.

Mr. Tutusymbol and Mr. Baby Tutu are quite different in character. While Tutusymbol is quiet, mannered, calm, and collected, Tutu is loud, brash, fiery and passionate. They do however share a great intellect and a disregard for human life, which appears to be mitigated in Mr. Tutusymbol. They maintain a strong partnership, as enforced by Mr. Baby Tutu. Mr. Tutusymbol seems to be the only employee who can access the files in the Rampage computer database. Although he is only ten years old, he is evidently Mr. Baby Tutu’s most trusted aide, in whom he invests the responsibility of finding his target Supers. In secret, Mr. Tutusymbol hated his father for his treatment of him and his murder of Pamela. Mr. Tutusymbol initially maintained a seeming of believing Superquack and Morgan to both be important to him, but later genuinely admired them (Superquack in particular) and was grateful for the latter's sparing of his life. The gratitude, and his repayment of it by unrepentantly betraying Mr. Baby Tutu, showed that he believed in the need to repay a favor done. He had also made a point to show his defection from the dark side. He later headed to Quackville himself, where he witnessed his father’s death, and Superquack and Morgan adopted him. There is much Superquack taught him. He appears in *Superquack*, *Superquack: Relapse of Power*, *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: Age of Innovation*, and *Superquack: Focal Point*.

### **Mr. Watson**

"*Far too late have you have come to us, Sheriff. Your way is done!*"
―Mr. Watson[src]
A man known to all as Mr. Watson is the sole guard of Thunder Quarters, serving at the height of the Great Darkness and scarcely wandering far from the fortress, remaining on his duty even after the death of the Thunder Queen. Hence, he became in league with Verpus the Foul, who was in disguise as the Olbaid. He and Verpus mobilized an army which they kept secret from Emily Watson until the Council of Outcasts brought about their downfall. Having survived any attempts on his life by Ressammes, Mr. Watson set off on his own, leaving his fate unclear. However, the Thunder Queen was killed by little Steven Thompson, and Mr. Watson resumed his communion with the powerful ghost, although he had little contact with the Thunder Queen's familial successor, then-toddler Emily Watson. When Sheriff Bladepoint investigated Thunder Quarters in 2017, he discovered the house was secretly inhabited by the Olbaid. As he challenged the latter, Mr. Watson leaped out and knocked him down via throwing star in a surprise attack and taunted the Sheriff of his poor battle strategy, revealing the mass legions he has gathered. He prepared to kill him, but Bladepoint used his powers to keep Mr. Watson at bay, who still made several attempts to strike. Bladepoint escaped before the Olbaid subdued him. After the Council of Outcasts destroyed the Olbaid and exposed his identity, Ressames told his fellow Council members to "leave Mr. Watson to [him]".

Highly sadistic, arrogant, and ruthless, Mr. Watson is a cruel and formidable bodyguard in league with the incredibly powerful Olbaid: Verpus, thus showing willingness to use any means to achieve his goals. In exchange for his continued protection, Mr. Watson became unfailingly loyal to his Master, showing that instead of trying to reach any ends of his own, Mr. Watson stayed alongside Verpus to defend him against Sheriff Bladepoint. This almost led to his permanent destruction. He appears in *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Mae* and is scheduled to reappear in *Vault of Ages: Surface of the Elements*.

### **Ms. Embodiment**

"*Even your small mind should be able to fathom that the benefit of millions comes before the benefit of dozens.*"
―Ms. Embodiment[src]
Ms. Embodiment is a neurodivergent and the daughter of Mr. Tutusymbol and an unnamed Fobble matriarch.

### **Ms. Malone**

Ms. Malone is a major character in the D.I.T. Literary Universe's first book *The Prime Poppies*. Curiously, she already appeared to be an old lady in 2006. Her body aged very quickly during her early years, for an as of yet undisclosed reason, so that by the time she was in her late twenties, she was very wrinkly and stooped. She appears in *The Prime Poppies*.

### **Daniel Murrell**

"*Who's he?"
"Dan's my colleague."
"You have your own colleague now?"
"Oh, yeah.*"
―Carol and Bailey[src]
Daniel Murrell is an accountant intern and the love interest of Bailey Dennings. Soon, he was hired as her unpaid apprentice. He greatly liked Carol Wilcox and admired her for the assistance she was providing to Baby Intelligence himself. After the devastation caused by the Battle of the Western Field, Baby Intelligence tried giving a speech of encouragement to the disheveled Police Grand Army until Dennings took the microphone for him and told them it was time for them to build character, avenge innocent lives, and stand up to the Lord of the North and the Arcanus. Like the majority of the audience chamber, Murrell responded to his girlfriend's speech with cheering and applause. During the Battle of the Eastern Field, he and Dennings fought alongside the others, but they were separated and were nearly killed by a platoon of Ugbots. Fortunately, a stray projectile landed in their exact location and blew up the Ugbot shields, inadvertently saving the pair and allowing Murrell to kick the robots to the ground, breaking them and earning him a compliment from Dennings. After the battle, Murrell returned with his friends, standing next to Dennings as she bade goodbye to Baby Intelligence before he returned to the MBH. Murrell waved at him and Dennings said he'd miss them too.

"*What he needs is acne cream, and to get used to girls. Then again, so does that old geezer Karkamel...*"
―Daniel regarding the Lord of the North and Karkamel[src]
Daniel Murrell has red hair and blue eyes. He is fairly intelligent and apparently is skilled at accounting. His love interest is Bailey Dennings. Daniel rarely speaks at all, often letting Bailey speak for him. He also appears to not be as sarcastic as Bailey. Nevertheless, he has a snarky sense of humor, like when he said in the alternate reality that the Lord of the North needed some acne cream and to get used to women. Like his girlfriend, he is known to be a huge fan of Musicore, a musical band. Daniel Murrell's background makes him well suited in financial occupations, while his skills in this field are relatively unexplored, it can be assumed he shares his girlfriend's aptitude for accounting. He appears in *The Super Babies: Revenge of Hell Burnbottom* and *The Super Babies: An Ended Generation*.

### **Dawn Mychelle**

Dawn Mychelle is a prominent ally of Adrienne Clancy. She portrayed herself as an incompetent mid-level minister and held deep respect for Clancy, when in truth, she had aspirations of one day taking over Clancy's role, knowing that she had many steps ahead of her before she could achieve such a goal. In the late stages of the School War, she came under Emily Watson's command, relinquishing any loyalty to the U.S. Government, and assisting the Girl-Team in the capture of Utah. She appears in *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent* and *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*.

### **Myron**

Myron is a prominent member of NYC Music, having co-founded the company and become its CEO. Two years after the release of "Baby Song", NYC Music was planning another nationwide online talent search and finalists would be chosen from online submission. The contest began on 22 July, 2027 offers eligible contestants the chance to win their own custom song, music video, and artist promionic. The artists (or their parents) pay a $1000 to $2000 fee to NYC, and NYC then writes and produces music in collaboration with these artists, often producing music videos and relevant promotions. This producer stated that their main objectives are to bring aspiring acts to the musical fore. He also claims to have worked with at least one of the following: Miley Cyrus, the Beatles, and/or Alison Gold.

In January 2026, Myron co-authored and co-produced the song *Baby Song* sung by Rocken Role. He was also responsible for writing and producing songs for a number of young artists, leading to their success all across the globe. Following the huge, mostly negative attention Rocken Role's *Baby Song* received, Myron went public in a promotional interview tape explaining what was behind the company he had founded. He proceeded to post two musical responses about "Baby Song" and the controversy it created. The first was posted on March 12, 2026 entitled *Baby Song (Rap Remix)* written and produced by Myron, the second on April 4, 2026 entitled *Sing As You Please* written by Kulture, a friend of his. Both songs address some of the most common grievances against the song and the way NYC runs its business. Both these postings have received negative attention as well.

Myron participated in NYC Music's plans for another nationwide online talent search, for which finalists would be chosen from online submissions, the company said in a statement. The contest began on July 22, 2027 offers eligible contestants the chance to win their own custom song, music video, and artist promotion by NYC Music. Throughout the year of 2032, and again in 2024, Rocken Role continued helping Myron by producing for NYC Music, though he had also joined Coldplay at this point.

N

### **Nacraton**

Nacraton was a member of the Time Army. When he attended Superhero School, he was one of the earliest followers of the Time Army led by Jamboga the Unholy, who shared some of his darkest secrets with the humanoid to gain his trust. At some point, he received training from a young yet insanely powerful member of the organization, Sarah; the two developed a cordial relationship. Midway through the Battle of Clock Castle, Jamboga the Unholy located Nacraton after the former sensed that Sarah had turned to the Light. Together, they headed through several corridors, Pine tracking the former whereabouts of the Band of Justice with his powers. They stopped at the ledge, where Nacraton and Pine threw aside their cloaks. They leaped down and greeted the superheroes, knowing that the endgame had begun. Blasto whirled around and cocked his gun. A moment later, Vincent Organa, Exogale, Jay Organa, and Merpa were also surrounding him. Pine turned to Nacraton and ordered him to crush Vincent. Nacraton dueled him, missed a blow, and Organa ended the humanoid’s life with a single slash across the chest. As Nacraton’s body toppled to the ground, his master was outraged and ultimately avenged Nacraton’s death, although Organa was later brought back to life.

### **Cho Namaan**

 File:Cha Mok.jpg
Cho Namaan is a prominent Dark mutant. Namaan believed she could become a NoHead overlord through finding relics. She eventually performed *cha mok* on her opponent's leg. She appears in the *Before The SMSB* quadrilogy.

### **Narrisa**

Narrisa is a Girl-Team acolyte. Because of her heritage, Narrisa is one-eighth black, so she would have had a quarter-black parent. Eventually, she came into allegiance with the Girl-Team and befriended Natalia Thornton, something Steven Thompson was somehow aware of. After Emily Watson became Supreme Leader in place of Helen McKeen, she hired Narrisa for the attempted execution of Steven Thompson, Andrew Hendersen, and Summer Petersen prior to the outbreak of the School War, due to her history with Thornton. The following morning, on a Saturday, Narrisa rode a pod with Thornton that brought them to a post behind three mechanical doors, where they joined Susan, who was already there. Emily Watson spoke over the loudspeaker, giving the word for Narrisa to attack. After seeing the others were locked in combat, Narrisa decided to target Hendersen. She fired at him with her gun, he dodged, but barely. Finally, Hendersen found a bullet-resistant tile Thompson had been using. Narrisa seized the tile and deflected several blasts from a nearby gun Hendersen had seized before missing one and being shot down. The demises of Susan and Narrisa would not be the first two that day, nor the last two. After her death, the Boy-Team led a fleet to rescue the captives and assault the Girl-Team forces.

Narrisa is a teenage girl who is one eighth black because of her heritage. She has black hair, and is usually seen in simple wear. Narrisa possesses an intimidating demeanor, and she is highly skilled in combat. Apart from being very resourceful, she is also vengeful, much like her ruler, Emily Watson. Narrisa, at the very least, respected Natalia Thornton, the two were friends and on good terms when the School War began. Steven Thompson and Emily Watson were both aware of their friendship.

### **Neil**

"*President Waterston. She's coming.*"
―Neil[src]
Neil is a high-ranking member of the Armies of Organa and, apparently, a friend to Summer Petersen. When Natalia Thornton created a resurgent Girl-Team faction known as the Cavaliers of Thornton, Neil continued to fight for Organa. In May 2023, Neil participated in a Boy-Team Secret Meeting where his leader, Steven Thompson, revealed that Petersen was alive and well. Neil saw that Petersen had gained weight when he saw her on a camera during the meeting, he then applauded with everyone else at the announcement. The following night, Neil went with the Armies of Organa to put a decisive end to the Cavaliers of Thornton. He fought to the death and took a powerful attack to the head, and when the Cavaliers fled after Thornton faked her own death, he came bursting into the small room where Summer Petersen was in the process of hugging Steven Thompson, Charles Hugh, and the Organa twins, looking disheveled. He alerted them to the imminent arrival of President Roxanne Waterston to the school. Reluctantly, Petersen, who had no energy or desire to speak with Waterston, bade him goodbye, but he looked appalled when Thompson confirmed that she was already leaving. As he was asking when he would get to talk to her again, she teleported.

Summer Petersen described Neil as the most battle-scarred person she had ever seen, which is good coming from Petersen, who had a large role in the first war and would know plenty of battle-scarred individuals. After the Second Battle of Tower Placement, he looked disheveled and dried blood was streaking down the side of his head. Neil was a strong and determined warrior, being brave enough to fight the Cavaliers of Thornton, and he seemed capable of getting along with a variety of people. He is known to be fond of Summer Petersen; he presumably knew her from the first war. He went looking for her, and was very disappointed when he learned she was already in a hurry. Neil formally acknowledged Charles Hugh when he entered the room; he smiled back.

### Nelson family

"*First is my stepdad, he’s been more of a dad to me then my own dad is. Second is my mom, she’s a bitch and I hate her guts. [...] Seventh is Christian, he’s 13 and a brat sometimes but I love him. Last is Saul, he’s the spoiled child. He’ll be ten in November and he likes to steal my noodles.*"
―Valiera Nelson[src]
The Nelsons are a mysterious non-mutated family. Valiera was a member of the Quintana family by blood, but took the surname Nelson when she was adopted. Although none of them are close with Charles Hugh, they all seem to know and appreciate Luke Norris to some degree.

#### **The Nelson brothers**

 File:Nicholas-pool-9879.jpg
 File:Chris-9880.jpg
 File:Untitled.jpg
Christian "Chris" Nelson is the younger brother of Valiera Nelson. When Lisa and Jared Quintana divorced and former took up with Dan Nelson, Dan adopted Chris and his siblings and raised him with Lisa. According to his elder sister, Chris is occasionally "a brat". Chris seemed to be fond of Valiera, and while it is clear that Valiera loved him deeply, Nicholas Nelson is less fond of him, calling him an idiot, as he was annoyed by his nasty habit of stating the obvious, such as when Nicholas dropped the TV remote for instance.

Nicholas Nelson is the oldest brother. He began attending Tower Placement School in his sophomore year, appalling Valiera. He met and befriended Nicholas Phee (unbeknownst to him, the brother of Charles Hugh, who was fanatically loyal to Valiera — the two had a love-hate relationship and were both Senior students), Johnny and an unidentified fourth. Nicholas also introduced Nick to Valiera, who had at this point moved into the house of Will Oswald. He thought she was mean (unsurprisingly) since she irritably snapped that Nelson was her brother, and Phee was not. Shortly after Labor Day, Nicholas also met Charles in person; the two had a cordial introduction. Nicholas Nelson met Charles again on October 6 when he requested that Leah Hugh, Nicholas Phee's stepmother, pick him up from his apartment. He stood waiting outside, but Phee unexpectedly called him and asked for directions. Nelson provided them, and they arrived shortly thereafter. He also met Charles' half brother, whom Charles insisted was very stupid, but very friendly. He and Nelson also barricaded themselves in latter's bedroom. They proceeded to go to Cracker Barrel, a Southern-styled restaurant, where Nelson played a peg game with Phee and ordered contents from the breakfast menu — overeasy eggs and pork chops, the latter of which he never ate and tried and failed to share with everyone else. Charles, who had no idea if he was the same Nicholas who was related to Valiera, attempted to put the pieces together by asking him several questions with a false implication of innocent curiosity, as he even went so far as to confess that he was extremely curious (a debatable claim). When they returned home, Phee was seen curiously examining the family's rock collection in the foyer before finishing a game of chess he had initiated with Nicholas. However, Lisa unexpectedly changed her mind and asked him to come home at 9:15 p.m. Near the end of the game, he told racist jokes with Charles and Phee. Leah drove Nicholas home afterwards and Phee began telling the jokes he had heard from Phee and Charles to his parents. Nicholas Nelson was disturbed that Charles had asked him a couple of questions that he irrationally considered "awkward". He told Nicholas Phee this the day after he met Charles. Nevertheless, he enthusiastically greeted Charles a few days later. Around the middle of the month, Nelson would switch from yoga to math during fourth period. Unlike his sister, Nelson would occasionally frequent the library with his friends during lunchtime. On October 28, Charles apologized to Nicholas for asking him awkward questions. Nicholas immediately forgave him. Thereafter, he would be seen a few more times periodically by both Charles and Steven Thompson, whom Charles told him might be willing to join the Boy-Team cause. By December, Nicholas was no longer hanging out with Nick, not because they disliked each other, but they simply fell apart. He was seen by Charles with a new friend of his, who was a junior student, near a vending machine near the Yoga Classroom. In February, he had taken to following Nicholas Phee around, which Phee was not disturbed by, according to Phee himself. However, as Phee has been known to tell wild stories to increase his own sense of self importance, this may not be true. Nick accepted Charles Hugh's invitation to attend his birthday party on June 8. On June 21, he was in Manti. Nicholas Nelson seems to generally be a very quiet and pleasant person. He was very similar to Nick: friendly and polite to a fault, intent about his talents, and honest about his opinions to the extent of being utterly insensitive, an honesty he shared with his sister. He is also known to be fond of chess. Nicholas believes that the world's greatest invention is the wheel. He is also confirmed to follow the Mormon religion.

Saul Nelson is the very playful and allegedly spoiled son of Dan Nelson, stepson of Lisa Nelson, and the younger brother of Valiera Nelson through adoption. He enjoyed stealing his sister's noodles, probably as a bad joke. In October 2022, Saul was pretending to be a “sweater-saurus” by playfully hiding under a sweater when he realized guests had parked outside and had come to meet his brother Nicholas Phee. He met Charles Hugh, who along with his mother Leah found him to be adorable, for the first time. However, Nicholas Phee ignored him, as he was not very fond of small children. Saul Nelson is short and has sandy blonde hair. He is “adorable” according to Charles Hugh. Nicholas Nelson was neutral about him.

#### **Dave Nelson**

 File:008-stepfather.jpg
Dan Nelson, the stepfather of Valiera Nelson and her siblings through adoption. He is older than his wife. Valiera has a much better relationship with her stepfather than her mother Lisa. In 2022, he met Nicholas Phee and Charles Hugh. He was described by Leah Hugh as "teleporting out of nowhere" behind Lisa. When Nicholas came home, Dan was outside smoking with Lisa. In June of 2023, Dan and Lisa went with their children to Charles Hugh's birthday party instead of sending Nicholas Nelson off on his own. He told Charles he was six feet tall. Dan had little hair on his head and had a short, dark-colored beard.

#### **Lisa Nelson**

"*Well, my mom's abusive and my birth dad's out of the picture."
"That's awful!"
"Yep, well, that's why I don't talk about them.*"
―Valiera Nelson and Luke Norris[src]

"*Sounds kind of like Lisa."
"Well, at least she's trying!*"
―Charles and Leah[src]
Lisa Nelson (nee Quintana) was the biological mother of Valiera, Nicholas, and Chris, and the adopted mother of Saul Nelson and possibly Will Oswald. In 2017, she and her children were separated from her husband, Jared Quintana. Eventually, she remarried. She is abusive and has a poor relationship with her daughter, partially due to her own initial forgetfulness and inability to pay rent, a problem which was resolved in 2022. Born in 1987, Lisa Quintana was educated at Tower Placement School in her youth. Eventually, she married a man named Jared Quintana and begat Valiera Nelson in 2005, Nicholas in 2006 and Chris in 2009. Disaster struck in 2017 when Lisa and her children were separated from Jared. Eventually, she became remarried to a man named Dave Nelson and took the surname of Nelson. Dave had a son named Saul, whom Lisa helped him to raise. She was an abusive parent, particularly towards Valiera, who was considered the "disappointment of the family", resulting in their having a poor relationship. This is also partially due to her own forgetfulness and inability to pay rent. This forced her family to move once per month because they kept getting kicked out of their old house. Like Leah Hugh, Lisa also forced her children to go to church, which Valiera understandably hated. At some point, she became enraged at Nicholas and threw him down the stairs.

In the summer of 2022, she drove with Valiera in cars that almost matched, as her daughter had recently acquired a car to call her own. Around this time, Valiera moved out of her house and moved in with Miranda Patrick and Will Oswald and Lisa and the others settled into the basement of a small apartment located near a pharmacy that in turn was located near Tower Placement School, where Lisa's children were educated, ending the cycle of having a different house each month. On October 6, she met Nicholas Phee (a friend of Nicholas Nelson) and Charles Hugh (an adolescent who loved Valiera) and Nicholas' stepmother, Leah Hugh, whilst holding her puppy Pot. Dave appeared behind her to likewise greet the new arrivals. Charles chose not to mention how much he hated her for the abuse she showed her daughter. In 2023, Valiera ultimately dropped out of Tower Placement School and moved to Salt Lake City, though she eventually returned to Provo. On June 8, Lisa and Dave went with their children to Charles' eighteenth birthday party instead of sending attendee Nicholas Nelson off on his own. Valiera, who was preparing to go to Wyoming, sat with her for a lot of the celebration by the stream, but she ultimately made her way to the car. Lisa eventually made it there, where she unlocked the door for her.

"*She must've gotten it from her dad's side, because Lisa's as hot as an icicle.*"
―Steven Thompson comparing Lisa's physical appearance to Valiera's[src]
Lisa Nelson has dark brown hair, dark-colored eyes, and is obese in contrast to her slim daughter Valiera. Her face is slightly wrinkled. Lisa was an abusive and neglectful mother, often letting her children get away with things that Steven Thompson notes his and Charles Hugh's parents would never permit. Lisa emotionally, physically, and possibly verbally abused her children, even throwing Nicholas Nelson down a stairway in a rage, which also indicates that she has a bad temper. Valiera Nelson has mentioned that she shows blatant preferential treatment, as she considers her only daughter (and the most unusual member of the family) to be the disappointment of the family, which she seems to have instilled in her children. However, it is worth noting that while Valiera loves her siblings, she does not love her mother. Lisa was very forgetful and lazy, as she would constantly fail to pay rent on her family's residency. She was seen smoking with Dave while her children went to bed on their own. However, Lisa also knew how to present herself as well-spoken and friendly to Charles Hugh, who nonetheless already knew the real her but was much too stoic to show it. Despite this, she went with her children to his birthday party instead of sending Nicholas off on his own.

Lisa had a negative relationship with her only daughter and considered her the disappointment of the family. Valiera, who passionately hated her, called her "an old fool" in front of Charles and once said that Lisa was too stupid to consistently pay rent on their residence. Lisa emotionally, physically, and possibly verbally abused Valiera, and she seemed indifferent to Valiera smoking, drinking, and possibly having non-reproductive sex. Valiera has never mentioned her on Instagram, according to Luke Norris, because she abused her. He and Charles Hugh both seem to believe that this has brought out Valiera's worst traits. Ultimately, Valiera moved into someone else's house and later moved to Salt Lake City, never to face her mother's cruelty again. Lisa is also known to have once thrown Nicholas Nelson down the stairs.

### **Uraia Nen**

 File:UraiaNen3.jpg
Uraia Nen is the loyal bodyguard, lieutenant, and friend of Dyber Iavanna, and second in command of the Iavanna Clan. At some point, he did something that caused B-4-90 to owe him a favor. A member of the avian Falora race, Nen served an important role in Dyber Iavanna's conquest and was old enough to have lived through the war of the Philistines in 1030 BCE, although technically, he was on a different planet. He was the only person Iavanna trusted to handle a Holoka stolen from Lily Clark, right before Iavanna's capture. Concerned for the survival of the Clan, Nen contacted unknown allies on neighboring city Bozocami. They were willing to harbor the remnants of the Clan, so Nen moved Clan forces from Makka to Bozocami. Nen then attacked the Imperial forces in Bozocami, defeated them, and laid low until Dyber Iavanna was ready. Uraia meanwhile had discovered that the Holoka dates back to the war of the Israelites and Philistines, making it over 4,000 years old. He had learned that it was some sort of data storage device, but he also believed it to serve another unknown purpose. Uraia then persuaded Mesakk to come to Makka and rescue Dyber Iavanna. After killing a bounty hunter, Nen and Iavanna created a prison riot and used the distraction to reach their ship. Uraia Nen also took part in the mission to intimidate the Nogar homeworld of Planet 10. Eventually he also scouted out the Robot Mark II factory that Lily Clark found in Hyparama. Uraia accompanied Iavanna on his quest to find a mutant on Earth who could unlock the Holoka. Ever wary of the criminal Lord Soporaz who they found, Uraia constantly asked if he could kill her as he thought she may harm Iavanna.

Uraia Nen had white hair and blue eyes. Uraia was an ancient and proud warrior, who preferred to simply kill enemies rather than seeing the purpose of letting them live. Despite this, to an extent, Uraia seemed to have something of a conscience. Also unlike Dyber, he seemed willing to accept a lot more responsibility for the well being of others, often volunteering himself for the more dangerous objectives in a mission, though this could, again be done out of practicality or a will to test himself. Uraia Nen, like many of his race, was sensitive to mutantry, although he was not known to manipulate it, at least not directly. Uraia Nen preferred melee combat and the use of his unique heavy blades over guns. These blades proved to be sharper and more powerful than most others and could destroy vehicles, as well as decimate infantry. In battle, he and Iavanna were equipped with personal cloaking devices. He also either had a special sonic device which was able to stun another or possibly, being a mutant, had the ability to stun enemies with his powers (but this is unlikely considering his use of it did not hurt Bemb at all). Uraia was a long time ally of Dyber Iavanna. There is evidence that he may have been Iavanna's only real friend. He was the only individual Iavanna felt he could trust with anything as valuable as a Holoka. The two were known to call each other by their first names. After being mentioned in *Boys vs. Girls 2 Prelude*, he appears as the tertiary antagonist in *Convergence*.

### Newell family

#### **Kalixtus Newell**

Kalixtus Newell was the son of Stan and Troy Zonko. Much to his wife's dismay, he wasn't born until after she left her boyfriend, and was raised among the Order of the Mystic Specters at the height of the reign of the evil Red Mist. Following his father's retirement decades later, Kalixtus became the new Mystical Magoguru. Ultimately, he was opposed viciously by the Unifiers and fatally wounded by them, being replaced by Tage in the aftermath.

Nine months after the Return of Hell Burnbottom, a young adult named Stanley had sex with his non-binary lover Tori Newell, resulting in her pregnancy with Kalixtus. Although Troy considered her decision to become pregnant to be a horrible one, Kalixtus was born among an ancient organization called the Order of the Mystic Specters in October of 2042. Kalixtus was cared for by Stan, who simultaneously worked with the mystical organization, and by Troy, whose facial skin he enjoyed sucking on because of sensory. Baby Strength was a close friend of Kalixtus' parents who had developed a crush on his mother and had been lucky enough to escape imprisonment in the Tower of Reincarnation, and he would often help take care of Kalixtus, playing with him and assuring that he had what he needed to function in such an unorthodox setting, which Stan agreed was hardly conducive for a newborn's environment.

In the 2080s, Kalixtus Newell became the new Mystical Magoguru after his father went into retirement as they were "getting on a bit". As such, this meant that Kalixtus was in leadership over the Order of the Mystic Specters. After being falsely accused of murdering Force Baby, Thomas Meyer delved into his study of the Mystic Specters and learned how Kalixtus ran the organization, beginning targeting her so the Unifiers could control the Mystic Specters as part of Meyer's plans for the entire universe. He ultimately succeeded in his quest and stabbed Kalixtus in the heart, leaving Tage to run the group in his absence as he continued his plans to become the unstoppable Ring of Magic.

As a tiny baby, Kalixtus Newell is adorable and naive. Like most infants, he is vulnerable to sensory, and he vents this trait by sucking on Troy's skin or playing with Captain Strength. In his middle age, he took his role as Mystical Magoguru seriously. As the Mystical Magoguru, Kalixtus Newell possessed tremendous knowledge in mysticism. He appears in a photograph in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect*, and is mentioned in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Inferno Relit*.

#### **Ted Newell**

Ted Newell is the father of Tori Newell and formerly the husband of Jena Ort. He discovered his love for heavy metal in junior high. He married Jena Ort and they had two daughters and one son, named Tori, Cassie, and Brad. While publicly friendly, Jena was a very cruel and despicable woman behind closed doors. Eventually, Ted divorced her and Jena eventually remarried James and later Dustin Ort. Although Ted maintained a close bond with Tori, he barely knew Cassie or Brad, who legally became the children of Dustin, rather than his stepsons. Jena and Dustin had issues with their daughter, and things became so bad that Tori ran away from home and sought refuge with Ted. Fortunately for Ted, she was eventually located and was admitted to a mental hospital to be *"analyzed"*. However, she ran away again on June 8 and stayed with him again.

On Halloween, Tori went to Ted's house for a party, having come from travels abroad, and remained there for an extended period if time. During her stay, Ted phoned Master Intelligence and asked him if he wanted to come over for dinner and bring any members of the S.M.S.B. who wanted to go. When Baby Strength asked if Tori wanted to be alone, Ted said it wasn't her decision. However, Baby Strength convinced Master Intelligence to, for the sake of Tori's boundaries, decline. The next day, she cleaned her room, as he had in fact given her her own room with his house, which she stored several of her possessions in and considered a real home. Tori eventually returned to her father's house. They began to look into getting her a GED and getting her a new Social Security Card, as she had unwisely entrusted her mother with her old one. On December 20, she asked him for omelets, which he finally agreed to make for her, surprising her.

Ted eventually learned from Master Intelligence that Baby Strength had a Christmas gift for his daughter. On January 2, Baby Strength and Master Intelligence were finally able to pay Ted and Tori Newell a visit and give his daughter her present, at which point Ted had been cleaning and listening to heavy metal. Baby Strength also gave Ted a sucker, and while he claimed he didn't expect anything, he still accepted the gift. Ted was awed to meet Master Intelligence in the flesh and spent several minutes getting to know him, while Tori spent a while speaking with Baby Strength. After they discussed their shared love for heavy metal, Ted introduced Baby Strength to his collection of *Game of Thrones* memorabilia, but then Tori came to fetch Baby Strength so they could leave and pick up Lindsay Kellerman and Titanium Girl. Ted was last seen seeing his new friends out the door and telling Baby Strength to be helpful to the other S.M.S.B. members. Later, Titanium Girl invited him to her birthday party, but he declined. He did, however, go to a resevoir with her and Master Intelligence and the former's sister Raeanne. Things took an ugly shift when Raeanne lost her car keys, but Ted proved integral in resolving the problem so everyone could come home. He and Master Intelligence hung out afterwards, with Master Intelligence remaining on his couch as he went to work in the morning. While he was away, Master Intelligence cleaned his house. When he came home, however, he was enraged to realize his ice bucket was gone, furiously accusing the superhero of stealing it from him. Master Intelligence was very hurt by this and said that while he would continue to do his best to ensure the children were in good hands, he would never trust Ted again.

Ted Newell was a handsome and physically fit middle-aged man. He was very tall and slender and had short blonde hair, and blue eyes and fair skin. He was often seen in tank tops, presumably because of the work he did. He was a pagan with a strong regard for nature, bearing a respect for all life, in any form. He was a wise and compassionate man who provided everything he could for his daughter and showed determination in preparing her for adulthood. His heart is in the right place and he possessed a soul full of warmth and generosity. A cultured aesthete, Ted collected a variety of artwork for his house and was not only fond of classical music and heavy metal, but was also extremely knowledgeable of both genres. He was known to be a particularly big fan of Antonio Vivaldi. He also collected *Game of Thrones* memorabilia, showing a geeky side to him as well. However, he was unsure if Baby Strength would judge him for that, and hesitated to show him, being relieved when he learned Baby Strength had a geeky side as well. His facts were certainly questionable, however: he claimed that Vivaldi was a twentieth-century hit who existed long after Ludwig von Beethoven's time. However, Vivaldi was in fact prominent in the early eighteenth century, and he died before Beethoven was born.

However, he has been accused by his ex-wife of being *"enabling"*. Indeed, he permitted that Troy stay at his house several times when she ran away from her mother, though he may have been empathetic with the trauma she felt at being assaulted by his former wife's ex-boyfriend. While he was generous, he also didn't care whether or not she needed to be alone and didn't want guests over, though Baby Strength once intervened and declined him because of this. He pushed Master Intelligence away by expressing rage that he borrowed a simple bucket. Much like Mary Brown, Ted had a lonely side to him and tried to cope with being single. However, he learned that upon becoming healthier, it made him happier and more capable of accepting his romantic situation. Ted fell in love with Jena Ort and they had three children together. However, she was very abusive and violent, so he eventually divorced her because of this. His daughter, Troy, constantly sought refuge with him, and they worked together to prepare her for adulthood. However, he didn't care if she wanted company over for dinner or not. He appears in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect* and is mentioned in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Latest Threat*.

### **Jim Newman**

"*And this woman, this heap of fat and delicate flesh and low inhibition, this thing has made a servant of me. Worse, a slave. She degrades me, abuses me, amuses herself by abasing me. Me! Whose shadow she is not fit to touch!*"
―Jim Newman[src]

"*Your Eminence?"
"Hey, why are you pointing to the Death Pit button, he expressed himself man, that’s not a felony!*"
―Jim and Zira[src]

"*I have your attention. You will take me to your ruler now."
"Bertha, my ruler is not here. She is far away."
"Then who is in charge of operations here? Who do you report to?"
"…My ruler is in charge…*"
―Bertha Granger and Jim Newman[src]
Jim Newman is a small creature called a Klufel who has served as an assistant to Zira Miranda Grover for many years. Born in Oregon in 1954, Jim Newman was deported after he was found guilty of exporting stolen goods in 1997. He then tried to enter a refinery corporation in Utah, but his untrustworthy status had him expelled from Utah as well, and he had a period of other employments involving spice smuggling. In 1999, Zira found him and asked for his assistance smuggling for her. He had no idea she was more than a generic underground dealer. When it was evident he may be caught again, he asked for a bigger position in Zira’s businesses. He soon worked with Nathan and Epher Voss, two of Zira’s guards. After ten years of dutiful service, he returned to Oregon in 2009 seeking his revenge and ransacking seven cities within the state, capturing most members and selling them into slavery for Zira. While finding loot for himself he came across Kate and her mother, who chastised him for his actions, cursing his name. The insult resulted in Jim executing her and taking Kate under his wing, though he was horribly scarred. Jim only took Kate as a way to take over Oregon for himself in the future. It was noted that he preyed on other members of his society. He had captured and trained several dancers for Zira Grover. After he was cast out, other people from Oregon began breaking his name into two distinct parts as a way of symbolizing that he was cast out. In 2012, Jim was able to procure an unidentified monster, and one of the only ones left of its species, for his ruler’ birthday, which was being transported from its home on Planet 12 to an unknown destination but crashed on Earth. Zira was so pleased with the gift she offered Jim and Bill Kerve two choices of gift — the position of her personal assistant and some greater gift known to history. Fully knowing what Zira intended, Jim accepted the role of assistant, while Kerve was fed to the Beast. Jim was able to secure the services of Luke Jones, a famous beast handler from a circus, to take care of the beast.

In 2014, the NoHeads set up a secret mining facility on the ore-rich Yellowstone, which lied nearby. It was there that Jim Newman worked, likely in a position of administrator. While the facility was very isolated, the NoHead operations there did not go unnoticed; Zira Miranda Grover learned about it, and suspected that it was sold to the NoHeads by her distant cousin, Taran. This violated the terms of a treaty between the Queen and the fledgling government in 1993, and Zira had informed the U.S. Senate of the situation, which led to a team of police being sent to investigate the enormous park to ascertain the existence of the mining installation. The administrator was working with a datapad while walking near the entrance of the facility exactly at the same time when Police Grand Army members Bertha Granger and Zett entered the base. Granger acted quickly, captured the flinched administrator, and ordered him under gunpoint to take the police to his ruler. However, Jim revealed that his ruler was not present at anywhere near the park. Before the interrogation could continue, Zett sensed that the team’s cadet members, who had took an alternate route inside the facility, were in danger and rushed to aid them. Granger bound the man at the nearby tubes with handcuffs, and questioned him more closely. She suspected that Taran was the master of the administrator, and asked about the whereabouts of the former. Jim confused the police by stating that while his ruler was gone, Taran was inside the facility. Before Bertha could learn more, she was suddenly attacked by the Discomfortor, who handed her a sword and challenged her to a duel. The pair engaged each other, leaving the still-bound man behind. It it unknown how he managed to escape.

In 2017, Jim Newman recruited six of Zira Miranda Grover’s lesser minions, including Aaron, to kill Zira’s guards and make him tell all of his secrets for him, even under torture. Unfortunately, shortly after they started putting the plan into action, Garvin and Miranda unleashed a bunch of rats, spoiling it. Jim and his co-conspirators managed to kill all the rats, who during the struggle slew all but Jim. Later, Zira cheerfully thanked Jim for being loyal to her, being a hero and risking his life for Zira. Jim couldn’t bring himself to kill Zira, after this. In 2023, Zira became very irritated when she left her Crystal Chamber for the very first time and Jim Newman whistled when he saw her entirely naked bulk for the first time in his life. He began teasing Zira by playing with her massive girth, caressing her mounds of fatty flesh. Laughing, Zira told him to stop, and when he refused, she forced him to do fifty, no, seventy-five pushups right in front of her and then had him thoroughly beaten and deliberately crippled. Thereafter, he had to rely on his Orb more than ever as it was the only thing that rendered him mobile.

In August 2025 Jim had procured the services of a dancer called Thomas Carter, a naïve teenager who was partnered with a girl called Brianna. The two were being taken to the Royal Palace of the Magistrate by a thug called Bronton when they were intercepted by Jensen Allen, who killed Bronton and freed Brianna, but Thomas refused to go, wanting to see what life was like in the palace. Jensen and Jim shared a brief conversation where Jensen told Jim that his way of life was wrong and his depredations on his own people would only lead to ruin. She promised that the Maelstroms, which she had recently discovered, would be able to protect Oregon and for a brief moment, Jim strongly considered the young woman’s words. But realism took a grip and Jim dismissed Jensen Allen’s offer. As Carter was willing to return to Zira’s palace with Newman, Allen let the two go.

Jim Newman’s tasks included greeting visitors to the Palace and he was there to greet Taylor Carter to deliver a message from Vincent Organa. He was greeted by Zira’s assistant, and refused to give him the message. Reluctantly, Jim led the guard into the throne room so he could present the offer to Zira. Organa's message requested that Zira bargain for Helen McKeen. Zira refused to bargain, however, and Jim promised he would protect her personally if Vincent Organa came back. Soon after, Jim realized that Summer Petersen, disguised as Xydarone IV, released Helen McKeen and immediately informed Zira. Summer was captured and made to dress provocatively, while Zira granted audience to a holy man. When it became clear he was being manipulative, Jim gestured to the suction field situated below the Death Pit, silently goading his ruler to activate it, but she refused, feeling this would be an overreaction. After the unsuccessful attempt by Summer Petersen to free Helen McKeen, Vincent Organa himself came to the palace. In the meantime, Jim Newman, who had been given orders that he was not to be admitted into the palace, was ordered to save face by forcing Petersen to reveal who else was coming to the palace, though she resisted even after he pierced her neck with a shot needle. Organa arrived and used the Kraft to blast Newman against a wall, cracking his orb. When Vincent Organa was able to triumph in the Tournament of White Roses, he and more than a dozen others would be thrown into the Temple of the Relinquished. Having recently regained consciousness, Jim Newman promptly accompanied Zira Grover to the executions on her limousine. The Kraton and his friends proved more than Zira’s forces could handle and as such, her limo was destroyed following the intervention of the Cavaliers of Thornton. When Summer Petersen and a traitorous guard named Justin Bellamy beat Zira into unconsciousness and forced her to fake her death, Newman arrived and confronted them. As Newman began to insult the veteran over her weight, he was silenced when Bellamy hacked at him with his ax, smashing apart the glass covering his orb and prompting him to leave shouting angrily, making for a private van.

Subsequently, Jim Newman returned to the palace to take over. He was stunned, however, when Zira returned to the palace and told him to route anyone hiding. He eventually came across the private quarters of Xydarone IV, but Claire Julian, who was hiding inside, cleverly impersonated a ghost, frightening Newman. He reported the event to Zira, who was scarred by Summer's attack and was indifferent to the alleged spiritual infestation. Six months after the Rescue of Helen McKeen, a man by the name of Ollie Firth received Jim Newman’s messages that he’d been secretly sending and arrived in Idaho to claim Zira’s treasures. Ollie uncovered clues that a NoHead Minion by the name of Link Banett knew of the final location of the missing *Strike*-class medium cruiser, the *Elodin*. Ollie knew that if he were to take possession of the ship, his personal power would increase greatly. However, the Elodin was a fake — Sage Preston had a fake built and destroyed it while in subspace. The real purpose of the Elodin was a hidden base in Idaho, which Sage could escape to. Ollie used Jim’s computer skills to unlock the location of various weapons caches scattered over Idaho and was able to take control of at least sixty-four NoHead fighters. Ranger Squadron had been tasked by Luke Cameron with investigating events in Idaho and uncovered the plot while enjoying the hospitality of Hugo, who was Jean’s brother. By this time, the robot soldiers began poking around led by Adam Semtin and destroyed Ollie’s fighters. Ollie tried to hide in Oregon from his enemies and tried to abandon Jim, but Jim was able to stow away on Jame’s ship and return to Idaho. Adam Semtin was tasked with securing the Elidon Base and capturing Ollie — he planned to put Ollie in charge of the base given his Darkness connections. Ranger Squadron attacked Elidon Base; Ollie panicked and Adam stabbed him. Ollie fled the base but ran right into Jim outside who took the wounded man back to the Royal Palace of the Magistrate. Ollie’s corpse was then placed in a coffin. Then with Ollie’s resources at his disposal along with the money he embezzled from Zaynie over the years, Jim began rebuilding Zira’s empire, and was able to continue on. In 2028, Zira returned and immediately commended Jim for his work. Two years later, he realized that Claire Julian was the individual hiding in Xydarone's room and dragged her to Zira, who allowed Zaynie to have her. Jim went to work for Zaynie, who promptly forced Claire to resume her career as a personalized servant. After Zaynie undressed, he began teasing her by playing with her large stomach, caressing her ample abdominal flesh. Zaynie enjoyed his affections, in stark contrast to Zira, who had punished him severely when he made an extremely similar advance. During Hell Burnbottom's campaign, Zaynie would die after the Umbralord personally killed her. Having realized too late Zaynie had most certainly chosen to proceed forward, Jim Newman knew he had come to truly care for Zaynie now, feeling a special connection to her he had never felt before.

Jim Newman was a slender Klufel with light-green flesh, small by human standards standing at 65 centimeters. His visage displayed acne-ridden arms, knobby eyebrows, bright green eyes, and lanky legs. The front of the neck displayed a large necklace. In whole, Jim was considered “darkly elegant”. He often wore half-gloves and studded wristbands. He also kept a poisoned dagger concealed in the underside of his orb. A hateful little creature who served Zira Miranda Grover for years, Jim Newman greeted all those who sought an audience with the Empress, forcing those who wanted to meet with Zira to maneuver past the majordomo. Even so, Newman at times understood his duties included denying visitors permission to see Zira, whom he called his ruler. Despite his bitter nature, he was polite and sophisticated. Truly power-hungry, he came to believe he would acquire the wealth and influence necessary to conquer Oregon and mold his people into the kinds of subjects the NoHeads valued — spies, bounty hunters and mercenaries. By saving his race from “exotic slavery”, Jim Newman hoped he would bring back honor to his name and that of his ancestors. Jim had been among the first to attract the attention of the NoHeads to Oregon by selling valuable spice off-world. While he had thought the people would adapt to life under NoHead control, they did not. His own people had come to hate him utterly, but he still wished to bring them out of the horrors of slavery. Jim first crossed paths with his ruler, Zira Miranda Grover, after he was banished from Oregon. She asked for his assistance in smuggling. When it was evident he may be caught again, he asked for a bigger position in Zira’s businesses. Over time, Newman proved himself an extremely capable ally. He had little to no qualms about administering punishment on the Magistrate's behalf and was even overenthusiastic about sending those who displeased his ruler into the Death Pit. The majordomo held great patience thanks to his job, needing to deal with individuals ranging from haughty emissaries to drunken ruffians. When not leaving Zira's side to greet visitors or travel out-of-state, Newman often remained at the side of his ruler, whispering advice and information. Newman was also willing to threaten business partners in order to try to get better results. Able to represent Zira on out-of-state missions, a visit from the greatest ally of the Empress was considered an honor. Consequentially, Jim grew even more power-hungry than before. He came to believe he would acquire the wealth and influence necessary to conquer Oregon and mold his people into the kinds of subjects the NoHeads valued. Jim Newman would often overlook the throne room as he protectively sat by the Empress' overfed belly. After being transferred, he came to hold great respect for Zaynie that he felt for very few others, often sitting by her as he did with Zira. Jim Newman suffered from intense delusions of grandeur and had little respect for anyone. He also performed a ritual of where he listed to himself each of the day’s annoyances he had experienced every night before he slept. He also manipulated and exploited Thomas Carter. They would continue to interact with one another on a regular basis but in a dirty, provocatively lewd, and vulgar manner. In addition to his mainstream English, Jim can read Spanish and speak Italian. As majordomo, Jim Newman worked out of the Royal Palace of the Magistrate in Idaho. He spent his time in the building alongside the Magistrate or following orders. He appears in *Before The SMSB: The Dominion of the Dark Lord*, *Boys vs. Girls 2*, and *League of Red Stars*, and will reappear in *Vault of Ages: Fusion*.

### **Alexandra Newton**

Alexandra Newton is a member of the Administrative Office of the Police Grand Army. She was formerly the Youth Representative to the organization. Sheriff Bladepoint was known to admire her. In 2021, she was promoted as the Youth Representative to the Police Grand Army, which gave her the right to attend Administrative Office meetings. By this point, Newton had been sensing a growing darkness in the west. Two days after gaining the position of Youth Representative, the Administrative Office was visited by Steven Thompson, who told them of the School War and a mysterious demon. Newton and her fellows agreed that the demon probably did not exist, though Bladepoint still sent a taskforce to Utah to confirm the truth. In 2023, Newton was among the Grand Army forces led by Paige Nelson in an attack on Golgolod. She left the Grand Army following the end of Lily Elazar's War. Following the devastation caused by Operation: Purge in 2019, she joined the reconstituted organization, and, alongside Phil, worked as a covert operative inside the government, feeding the Grand Army information. She appears in *Baby Intelligence*, *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent*, *The Super Babies: Revenge of Hell Burnbottom*, and *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Sheriff Bladepoint*.

### **Nicole**

Nicole is the daughter of Percy and Stephanie and the head of Nicole's Shack. During the Christmas holiday in 2051, Nicole overheard Stephanie speaking with the Mayor's assistant and figured out enough to learn that Percy had been attacked by Augustus Salt during guard duty for the government. Two months later, Stephanie asked Nicole what she wanted to be as an adult, and Nicole said she wanted to run a thrift shop. This made Stephanie appalled, who had a strong desire for Nicole to work for the government like her father, leading to a fierce argument between the two. Ultimately, both of them digressed when Percy suddenly arrived home, alive and well. Nicole immediately rushed over and hugged him. Although Stephanie would scold Nicole for her dream job on several other occasions, she clearly wanted Nicole to find a job that made her happy. At one point in her education, Nicole threatened to rape someone in her class, though she did not follow through with it. Afterwards, she was publicly humiliated by Stephanie, who had reacted with revulsion to the event.

In her adult years, Nicole's dreams ultimately came true, and she was the head of Nicole's Shack, her very own thrift shop, by 2056. Stephanie was very impressed - in the end, she clearly wanted Nicole to be happy in her work. A woman named Veronica worked with her for many years. When Centauri came to their shop in 2058 looking for a shovel to bury his dead parents, Veronica informed Nicole of his purchase, and Nicole showed him where to find them. Much later, Nicole attended the funeral of Force Baby with Veronica, where they both witnessed the fistfight that broke out between Baby Strength and Master Intelligence there. At the beginning of the Shadow Wars, Nicole went into hiding and closed the shop. It is possible that Veronica joined her if she was not already in hiding.

Percy was less strict than his wife, and his daughter thought he was funny. He had a good relationship with her, before his daughter became angry with him. However, in 2040 Percy appeared to have been more protective, because he was afraid of what happened to his daughter. Despite being very nice to her daughter, Nicole, Stephanie had no issues with speaking her mind and enforcing discipline when her daughter put "a toe out of line". Stephanie also had a strong desire for Nicole to work for the government like her father, causing her to scold Nicole on numerous occasions for her dream of managing a thrift store. In the end, however, Stephanie clearly wanted her children to be happy in their work, and was impressed when Nicole proved to be a skilled businessman. In fact, Stephanie's worst nightmare was losing both Nicole and Percy.

### **Nik and Elana**

Nik and Elana are two deranged commoners formerly in favor with the Chief. Superquack and Morgan came to stay with them, and when Nik went to work, she left Elana with their two guests for the day, a decision which did not rub off well with any of the three. Elana did not endear herself to either superhero, particularly with her snobbish and disdainful attitude towards them and open displays of prejudice. Nik took them all shopping, but she left a bit early and came upon a small trinket she assumed was a weapon, leading to the two superheroes leaving. They appear in *Superquack*.

### **Ronald Noace**

"*An explosion bright as a star. A group of mutant babies, intrepid defenders, escaping ships, and... you, I think, somehow at the center of it all. Annabeth, it won’t matter if you find them. It won’t matter if you find and kill every police who survived the Purge. I understand now... goodness will never die.*"
―Ronald Noace to Annabeth in Kansas[src]
Ronald Noace was a mutant officer who served the Police Grand Army part time and survived the majority of the First NoHead War. He wielded a sword. Ronald first faced serious combat as the apprentice of officer Nate Senn around 1993. During his early training at the Blackwing Sanctum, Ronald demonstrated a talent for being able to sense mutantry in others and was encouraged to pursue a course that would have landed him in the Police Acquisition Division. When he completed his training, Ronald was offered a position within the Division. Noace came to be one of what many police referred to as the “Old Guard”, police considered likely to be put on the Administrative Office; Noace, however, never attained that status. Occasionally, he would encounter Helena Black while on break. He teased her while they were together, despite actually liking her.

Shortly before the Blackwing Operation, Ronald went on the first of many missions to Durango, Mexico, a state not far from his birthplace Sonora. He sought to bring down the crime lord Kash Gamulan. Instead, Gamulan became a police informant and developed something of a friendship with Ronald. He would infiltrate this Mexican state many more times over the course of the First NoHead War, fatefully returning there in 1994 to fight alongside Commander Schmid hours before the cessation of the First NoHead War and prior to the scattering of the police. Ronald Noace witnessed the death of his former mentor Nate Senn as well as his first apprentice. Despite this, he survived thanks to his mutantry, and fled with Sheriff Bladepoint and the others. His second apprentice was killed in the Battle of Tennessee in 2009.

Ronald was part of the forest strike team at the Battle of Axis Base in 2006. Ronald fought in the Battle of Tamaulipas alongside the 22nd Air Combat Wing, including the government commandos of Ion Team. He earned the respect of Captain Calhoun through the course of battling NoHead enemies in various campaigns together. Ronald Noace was one of six police officers who participated in the Battle of Minnesota in 2018. In the midst of the battle, Noace saved Captain Calhoun’s life while they were performing reconnaissance of a key hospital that was housing a targeted shield generator. Calhoun later returned the favor by deliberately misdirecting an ambush per Commander Schmid’s orders that would have otherwise killed officers Ronald Noace, Bree Clara, and apprentice Olena Selby, thus sparing them from the initial onslaught of recently-appointed Arcanus Annabeth Black and her battalion of F7 war robots. Noace did not recognize Black due to her change in appearance and completely changed attire.

By the time the First NoHead War ended, Ronald had lost his faith in the Administrative Office and in mutantry itself. This owed to the deaths of both of his apprentices. A sarcastic and bitter man, his connection to the Light became weak, and he struggled to use even elementary powers, getting by on experience and skill alone. The trio deliberately allowed themselves to be captured by the NoHeads when they were disguised as police mercenaries. However, they encountered Annabeth before they could leave Nebraska. In a duel instigated by Bale Caberra, Annabeth revealed her overwhelming strength for the first time, as she brought Caberra to her knees before decapitating her. Fortunately for Noace and Selby, Annabeth was distracted, and they managed to escape NoHead custody due to Noace’s telekinetically clipping the head off of an unsuspecting robot soldier. With assistance and a fair amount of deception by Kash Gamulan, the police managed to escape Nebraska aboard a CloakShape fighter. They eventually rendezvoused with the High Dancer, captained by Noace’s biological mother, Jen Noace. Noace decided to give up the police way and join up with the smuggler crew under his mother, discarding a sword and his use of his powers in exchange for a gun and his wits.

Noace tried to help the crew deliver Senator Finn Zame from Texas to Hawaii as their first smuggling job together. However, Zame was slain by Annabeth, who also injured Jen with her saber throw. Despite trying to embrace a new life and hide out, Noace’s true nature could not be forever denied, especially in the process of watching Olena Selby naively falling into Mr. Crooked NoHead’s traps before his eyes. During a point at Annabeth’s mission to Kansas, Noace suddenly re-engaged himself as a police officer and mutant, shortly after Annabeth had landed on the scene via her Meta-class G-5k shuttle, destroying native warriors and anything else in her path. Specifically, just prior to Noace’s arrival, Annabeth had dispatched defending officers Sigmond Forte and Ingrid Kula by beheading them simultaneously in one sweep, critically injured apprentice Kleng Ann and Agricultural Corps members Jabez Lou and Nabirye Porf, and shortly engaged Olena Selby afterwards.

Intrepidly, Ronald Noace suddenly intervened on the scene, calling to his hand Forte’s sword from the balcony floor and decapitating Commander Abalan right in front of Annabeth, challenging the Arcanus to a duel. By doing so he allowed the Dancer crew and the younger police to escape. The fateful duel against Annabeth ended in Noace being dealt mortal injuries from telekinetically charged wood planks, despite some ingenious defensive and offensive tactics and insights during the battle, and only after Annabeth telekinetically hurled objects at Noace from all directions, which quickly overwhelmed Noace’s defenses. However, the Dark Lord did not kill him outright, but rather decided to revel in telling the dying officer of the truth behind the fact that she was indeed the girl he used to mock at school, as well as the NoHeads’ mission to rebuild themselves from under the police. This, she believed, was the final insult to the dying police officer, letting him know how utterly the police would be destroyed from within.

However, Ronald still died happy, sarcastically thanking Annabeth for putting him out of his misery. In the moments before his death, he recalled a vision he had experienced which, although superficially predicting the circumstances of his death, in fact was a foretelling of the circumstances of the final fall of the Arcanus at the Eastern Field, and the redemption of his killer. Shortly after the battle, Mr. Stupid NoHead ordered his Grand Vizier Mackenzie to cover up the reasons for the officers’ death. Mackenzie complied her first official record to fabricate the polices’ reasons for death. Noace’s report stated that the police officer was executed for repeatedly disrupting police recruitment efforts in Kansas.

Ronald Noace was known for having a rather pessimistic personality, possibly because he lost two personal apprentices during the First NoHead War. He also had a tendency to be sarcastic at times. Despite his sarcastic, bitter and pessimistic nature, Noace’s heart was in the right place and he sacrificed his life to help the other officers escape from Annabeth Black. He also had a strong spirit and drive, something which even Black respected (going so far to say that she would find an apprentice with the same spirit Noace had). Noace was very close friends with Calhoun. He also cared a great deal about Olena Selby, even though she was not his apprentice, and was determined not to allow her to die, as his last two apprentices had. Noace was also fond of Bree Clara and felt sorrow when she was killed.

As time went on, Noace’s power became weak and he struggled to use even simple Power Combos, getting by on experience and skill alone. Gradually his mutation returned and when he faced Annabeth Black for the final time, Olena Selby knew he was a mutant once more. Just before he died, Noace had a vision of the future, foreseeing the end of the NoHeads which would take place a few years later. Ronald Noace was moderately well trained in combat, being able to hold his own against Annabeth Black for a lengthy period of time, even though he was wielding an unfamiliar weapon though it should be noted he vastly surpassed her in both experience and physical size. He managed to land two blows on the teenager before being defeated. It should be noted that Black defeated him not through martial combat, but through superior command of her mutation.

### **Christine Norris**

"*A world without photography is like a DC movie without special effects.*"
―Christine Norris[src]

"*Christine and I never go to a party separated and we're just inseparable.*"
―Luke, talking about Christine[src]

"*Hey sorry I haven't been around for so long. That's so exciting and I'm so happy for you. What's the dad's name?"
"Dad's not in the picture at the moment."
"What you mean by that?"
"He has a lot of improvements to make before he can be in the picture again."
"I'm sorry, also when did you stop including that brown-eyed girl in all your pics? I'm really sorry if I'm starting to sound nosy; it just seemed really random and I haven't 'Instagramed' for months. So if cameras don't lie your situations changed even more than mine."
"The brown eyed girl is me. My blue-eyed girl left in December and I ended up in a new relationship in January and I’m not expecting for January 7 2024."
"oh, I'm sorry she left, and her eyes look brown to me, oh well. And just curious you into DC cuz I'm obsessed with DC, just wondering.*"
―Christine Norris and Valiera Nelson[src]
Christine Norris is the sister of Luke Norris. She illegally joined Instagram and was on it by the age of eight, although she never posted anything. She followed several accounts who enjoyed photography. The girl would continuously exhibit childish curiosity by meddling into other people's business. According to Luke, the two are close and never go to parties without each other's company. She and Luke would go to the gym every weekend, and Luke's boyfriend, Charles Hugh, would occasionally accompany them. On Halloween of 2022, Christine went trick or treating with her brother. She followed Valiera Nelson on September 22, 2022. The following day, Valiera followed her back, but did not allow her to see her posts, as her profile was private, which is what would have rendered this necessary. She did eventually change her mind and permit it. Christine pitied her because of the strain on the relationship between Nelson and her lesbian lover Miranda Patrick. On February 2, 2023, she asked Luke about Groundhog Day, baffling him. She confessed that she was on Instagram and Norris told her and warned her to watch herself.

On May 26, Christine returned to Instagram after nearly four months of inactivity. When she did, she checked up on Valiera and realized that the latter was both emancipated and pregnant, despite being underage. However, she was eluded by Miranda Patrick's absence from Valiera's photos, eluding her as she thought she just randomly never mentioned her again. The individual felt happy for Valiera and apologized for not being on for so long. She curiously asked for the name of the father, but Valiera asserted that he was not in the picture, as he had many improvements to make. The individual asked what had happened to Miranda Patrick and apologized for her nosiness. Asserting that the brown-eyed girl was herself and Miranda's eyes were blue, Valiera explained that Miranda had left in December and she ended up in a new relationship rather quickly and she was not expecting for months. Christine said she was sorry Miranda Patrick left and inappropriately ruined the tone by asking if she was a fan of DC Comics. Their conversation would be intercepted by Charles Hugh and Jay Organa when they infiltrated Nexus Tower.

Christine Norris loves Luke and has a friendly attitude towards Charles Hugh. She seems to enjoy following accounts who revolve around photography, including Valiera Nelson's alternate persona, which could be how she found **nightrage8521**. She even went so far as to claim that "a world without photography is like a DC movie without special effects", implying that she may be fond of the Detective Comics company. She is also a fan of The Weeknd. She is confirmed to be an atheist. Christine loved her brother, Luke Norris, the two would go the gym together every weekend and they never went to a party separated. She appears in *Boys vs. Girls 2 Prelude*.

### **NYC Hospital medimutants and nurses**

"*A motherly-looking nurse wearing a cornucopia necklace in her hair came bustling up the corridor, smiling warmly at Master Intelligence and the others.*"
―Flashback in *S.M.S.B.: Where Are You Now?*

"*Look, Fredrick, you've been sent a potted plant and a lovely calendar with a different fancy Falgama for each month.*"
―Martha Strout's mistake[src]
Several medimutants and nurses worked at NYC Hospital, having all achieved high marks at Superhero School. One nurse on the James Hughes Ward, described to be a motherly-looking healer, was Martha Strout, who was responsible for looking after long-term patients such as Laura. When Baby Intelligence, Baby Strength, Force Baby, Telekinibabe, and Sebiscuits Cardarphen came up to the hospital ward, she led them in, where she revealed that Lindsay Kellerman had just been brought in.

In 2051, at the height of the Gladiator's campaign, Strout began looking after Fredrick Powell while preparing for the Thanksgiving period. It was her job to putt up decorations, look after patients, and see to visitations from friends and family. Soon after he entered, Fredrick was given a potted plant (unbeknownst to either of them) from the Knights of Plague. Although NYC Hospital has strict regulations of the gifts allowed into the hospital, Strout mistook the plant to be a harmless sunflower, and thought the improving Powell could take care of it. When the vines strangled him in his hospital bed, the mistake cost him his life. She was suspended on full pay whilst the matter was investigated, and was unavailable for comments for the newspaper. She later spoke with Master Intelligence and explained the events of Powell's demise, who assured Strout she was not to blame for it. Despite being kind and well-meaning, several of the healers were also fussy. They appear in *S.M.S.B.: Where Are You Now?* and *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Latest Threat*.

Darx O'Zar is a mercenary. Despite not directly affiliating with the League of Red Stars, he became genuinely helpful in preventing the Incursion. He appears in *League of Red Stars*.

### **Oin**

 File:Oin-detail.png

Oin was a man who was possessed by the extremely malevolent and powerful Mr. Stupid NoHead. He was born with a genetic defect that left his skin devoid of pigment, giving him a dissimilar look to most other men. For this reason, he wore heavy clothing, even in summertime, sporting a heavy hat and a fancy cloak. Oin was born in 1970. Somehow, Oin encountered Mr. Stupid NoHead in person, who possessed his body. After his previous host body, Sirius Xameres, took critical damage during a sky battle outside the Fourth Dominion, Oin was forcibly brought forth to be possessed in his place. With the Dark Lord's malevolent spirit within him, Oin went to his tormentor's private quarters and drew the Verasect, a family heirloom and his lord's last resort for killing Baby Intelligence. He then returned to a high balcony overlooking the lobby. For the rest of the time, Oin's body was used as a vessel for Mr. Stupid NoHead as he murdered Rotta Hecks and fought against Baby Intelligence. After Sebiscuits Cardarphen tried to save Xameres, Oin was dispossessed and left for dead as his tormentor returned to his original body. Cardarphen would later mention him.

Oin had the unpopular appearance of a gnarled, ancient man. He had a square jaw. His eyes were a forbidding greyish color and several of his teeth were missing. His hands were long and thin. It is also mentioned that Oin had thin lips and very little hair. Oin's pale skin and unseemly body shape was due to a genetic defect that left it without pigment and prone to chafe. He wore a heavy cloak to hide his condition. Due to his strange nature, Oin spoke in a sepulchral type of voice and had an unfaltering gaze that made anyone he looked at uncomfortable. When Mr. Stupid NoHead possessed him, he became even less aesthetically pleasing, developing a hook nose and sickly red eyes and his lips fading away entirely. Oin speaks English and German. He appears in *Sebiscuits: Apocalypse* and is mentioned in *Sebiscuits: Renascence*.

### **Olocron**

"*The Dancing Dorm is gone. He came, the Dark Lord, NoHead came with a bunch of robots and murdered everyone in there. I had a narrow escape. He was angry, he was mad that you'd escaped right under his nose. We did what we promised we wouldn't. And alas, blood and fire is our only reward.*"
―Olocron[src]
Olocron is a character in The Super Babies Saga who is the Head of the Dancing Dorm during the first half of the Second NoHead War. He protected the Dorm from outsiders by making in an extremely neutral place, especially in times of war. He himself had the position to use the Varlarien to probe the minds of all who entered the Dancing Dorm. During the Second NoHead War, Olocron, with great reluctance, hosted the S.M.S.B. after they found the first of the three scrolls of Sir Edgar Caravan in a cave. For security purposes, Olocron forced all three members — Baby Intelligence, Baby Strength, and Force Baby — to peer into the Varlarien, probing them to ensure their intentions were innocent, though the ordeal was painful for all three of them. Unfortunately, this inadvertently made Mr. Stupid NoHead, the Dark Lord of Tsala, aware of their location and their mission. The S.M.S.B. proceeded onto the Dance Floor, where Olocron conducts the music (unseen by Baby Intelligence, below the stage) while the S.M.S.B. performs well. After the completion of the last song, Olocron had a muscular servant provide Baby Intelligence with a boulder concealing the second scroll.

Hours later, the Dancing Dorm was attacked by Mr. Stupid NoHead and a squad of robots. Furious that his archenemy had once again escaped under his nose, and adhering his his own law that anyone who harbored Baby Intelligence would face execution, Mr. Stupid NoHead had everybody inside executed to keep them silent. Unable to prevent the deaths of his fellow residents, Olocron was forced to make a narrow escape as his home was burned to the ground. Eventually, Olocron went into the north and sought refuge at the Sanctuary in return for serving the Police Grand Army, an organization determined to oppose the Dark Lord. Olocron was later reunited with Baby Intelligence. Blaming him for the intervention of the NoHeads in a place as neutral as his own, he furiously attacked him, and the two briefly brawled under a fallen tent. Baby Intelligence calmed him down and asked what happened. Olocron sat down and told Baby Intelligence what had happened. Shocked, Baby Intelligence told Olocron that not all hope was lost and that he had avenged the Dorm's residents by killing Mr. Stupid NoHead, before apologizing for his perceived fault for the massacre. Olocron refused to forgive him and the two parted ways once more. Olocron is a stern-looking elderly thirteen-foot humanoid with a long gray beard reaching down underneath his chest. He has dark eyes with tiny pupils as well as a long orange robe.

### **Meryll Orbach**

Meryll Orbach was the head of Superhero University during the reign of the NoHead Empire. Sheriff Bladepoint returned to Superhero University with three of his best in search of Hell Burnbottom. Bladepoint thus went to the Dark Tower with Leslie Amadeus. Here they were met by Deidamia, who pressed her finger to the NoHead Sign and summoned Adyna Dukakis. Runihura arrived, but so did Miranda Butterfield, and the incapacitation of the Deputy Heads made Orbach realize there were police in the school. As Butterfield rushed to meet with the other professors to protect the school from Mr. Stupid NoHead's oncoming attack, she was stopped by Orbach, who demanded she tell her if she knew the whereabouts of Sheriff Bladepoint. As if out of nowhere, Dukakis arrived and pushed Orbach aside, dueling Butterfield until she was forced to retreat. She appears in *Red Cavalier* and *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Mae*.

Zamb Junior was the first Supreme Commander of the Armies of Organa and the son of Zamb Organa Senior. He is also the founder of the Decemahead and a member of the group, his callsign being one. Zamb was born in the nineteenth century or early twentieth century into the mystic Organa family. Zamb Organa Senior, his father, founded the Armies of Organa, and he became their first Supreme Commander. After Tower Placement School was created, Zamb Organa Junior was implored by his father to move the Armies of Organa there and assured him that he can still do great things and the Boy-Team would not always be his destiny just because it was in the present. At some point after relocating, he founded the Boy-Team's leading body, the Decemahead. He appears in *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent* and *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*

"*I loved your company, please come again shortly!*"
―Chris Ort to Baby Strength[src]

"*I'm a real hugger!*"
―Mary Ort[src]
Brad Ort is the son of Jena and Ted Newell. However, Dustin Ort became his legal father when his mother remarried. He had two older sisters — Tori and Cassie Newell. Unfortunately, his parents divorced when he was very young, and so he and his siblings remained with his mother. He would eventually have two siblings through his father, Chris, Mary, and Lily. However, as he barely knew his father, Dustin legally became his father, rather than his stepfather. Tori would occasionally help take care of him, though he often didn't see her for long periods of time because she frequently ran away from home. Brad was present when Baby Strength and Master Intelligence came over in 2041, but he was either in the back or downstairs and never met either of them until Halloween. On the aforementioned holiday, Brad Ort went trick-or-treating with his entire family minus Cassie, who was with friends, and Tori, who had been gone for a long time. Unlike Mary and Chris, Brad firmly obeyed his mother instead of rushing ahead and down the length of the sidewalk. He was also the only sibling not to be tired of walking, at least outwardly. Upon returning home, he was open to the idea of bargaining with his friend and siblings, making a candy exchange betwixt them possible in which they traded candy they disliked for candy they preferred instead. On November 16, Brad was babysat by Cassie Ort while his parents were away. He was downstairs with most of his siblings when Master Intelligence and Baby Strength came over, and so he never interacted with them that day. Weeks later, he was very helpful in setting up decorations for Christmas. On the day of, Baby Strength gave him a graphic novel adaption of *Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde*.

Brad Ort was a beautiful and adorable boy. He had blue eyes and fair skin, but strangely, he was the only one of his siblings to have dark brown hair instead of the traditional blonde, though this did mean he had his mother's and stepfather's hair. On Halloween, he dressed up as a bandit. Brad was a very mellow and reasonable child. Out of all of his siblings, he appears to be the most calm and collected, much in contrast with the intense and boisterous personalities of Tori, Chris, and Lily, and Mary at times. He was supportive of the S.M.S.B. He was open to the idea of bargaining with his friend and siblings, making a candy exchange betwixt them possible. He was also more obedient and less hasty than Mary and Chris, firmly obeying his mother instead of rushing ahead when they all went trick-or-treating. He was also helpful when his family was decorating for Christmas. It is not yet known what Brad's power is, but his musculature produced less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of his siblings, as shown when they all trick-or-treated together, he may be used to walking longer distances. Brad seemed to have a good relationship with his parents, as he was known to be obedient and good at listening. His oldest sister, Tori Newell does occasionally read to Brad or help him get into bed at night.

Cassie Ort is a junior high student who supported S.M.S.B. Grandmaster Master Intelligence. She was the daughter of Jena and Ted Newell. However, Dustin Ort became her legal father when her mother divorced and remarried. She was known to be reserved and very wary of strangers. She would eventually have two siblings through her new father, Chris, Mary, and Lily. However, as she barely knew her father, Dustin legally became her father, rather than her stepfather. Although Tori Newell would occasionally help take care of her, Cassie Ort often didn't see her for long periods of time because she frequently ran away from home. This would often leave Cassie in charge of babysitting, as she was the oldest sibling, and she was presumably taught not to talk to strangers. Cassie did not join her family on Halloween, instead spending the night with a friend of hers. On November 16, 2031, Master Intelligence and Baby Strength came over to give the family some old clothes. However, Cassie had no idea they were coming nor who they were, and hesitated to bring the gifts inside or even answer the door. She also had to chase down the dogs when they escaped through the open doorway. On December 7, Cassie helped her family put up Christmas decorations. When Master Intelligence and Baby Strength came over, she was able to meet them more officially, pleasing her. Titanium Girl, who had come with her superhero companions, congratulated Cassie for being protective of her siblings. On Christmas, Baby Strength gave her a religious graphic novel when he visited her and her family.

Cassie Ort was a beautiful and adorable girl. She had blue eyes and fair skin and blonde hair and, like most of her siblings, resembled Tori Newell heavily. Cassie Ort was a very pragmatic, mature, compassionate, responsible, and well-mannered girl. Whenever Tori Newell ran away from home, she would be entrusted with babysitting her siblings, a job she took very seriously. Indeed, she was quick on her feet and very wary of strangers, refusing to disclose her name even to superheroes. Indeed, had Cassie attended Superhero School, she would have been grouped into Class D and been considered very stereotypical to the personality that classification idealized. Cassie seemed to have a good relationship with her parents, and she took to babysitting her siblings when her oldest sister, Tori Newell, is gone. Tori does occasionally read to Cassie or help her get into bed at night.

Chris Ort is a boy who supported Master Intelligence. Tori would occasionally help take care of him, though he often didn't see her for long periods of time because she frequently ran away from home. Chris was present when Baby Strength and Master Intelligence came over in 2041, and while he was too shy to greet the superheroes and darted away, Master Intelligence noticed him. On Halloween, Chris Ort went trick-or-treating with his entire family minus Cassie, who was with friends, and Tori, who had been gone for a long time. A young superhero named Baby Strength also accompanied them. Like Mary, Chris was hasty and frequently walked faster than his family members or otherwise trotted across the sidewalk. He was mentioned to have stuck his tongue out twice, the second time was because Baby Strength questioned the necessity of doing it the first time. Upon returning home, he was open to the idea of bargaining with his friend and siblings, trading candy he disliked for candy he preferred instead. He was extremely generous and kept trying to think of things to give to Baby Strength, who had quickly gotten over his earlier behavior. He had become very fond of him and even begged him to come over on Christmas. Baby Strength laughed and promised to consider it. On November 16, Chris was babysat by Cassie Ort while his parents were away. He was downstairs with most of his siblings when Master Intelligence and Baby Strength came over, and so he never interacted with them that day. On 7 December, Chris helped his family put up Christmas decorations. When Master Intelligence, Baby Strength, and Titanium Girl came over, he met the latter and offered them all cookies, one of which was a flavor Master Intelligence had never seen before. He was said to be very helpful in setting up Christmas ornaments. On Christmas, Baby Strength gave him a picture book. Chris watched as his older siblings leaped into a wormhole to join the S.M.S.B. at the Tower of Reincarnation. When Lily wanted to save her friends, Chris held her back from risking her life, not wanting to lose her. Chris was mentioned in 2052.

Chris Ort was a beautiful and adorable little boy. He had blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. On Halloween, he dressed up as a yellow mouse-like alien. Chris Ort was an extremely generous and boisterous child who possessed the intense energy of his siblings. He enjoyed giving gifts, even small ones, showing his resourcefulness in the process, and offered cookies to his guests at the beginning of December 2041. He was supportive of the S.M.S.B., though he initially felt intimidated by their presence and darted away before he could meet them. He was also stated by Titanium Girl to be very insightful. Chris' only known shortcoming was that he could be very impolite at times, such as when he kept running ahead during trick-or-treat and stuck his tongue out twice, the second time was because Baby Strength questioned the necessity of doing it the first time. Still, it seems to be a trait that's natural for a child his age, and this side of him was rarely seen. Chris seemed to have a good relationship with his parents, though he sometimes disobeyed them or ignored them. His oldest sister, Tori Newell does occasionally read to Chris or help him get into bed at night.

Mary Ort is a little girl who supported Master Intelligence. She was the daughter of Jena Ort and had three half-siblings, Tori Newell and Cassie and Brad Ort. When she wasn't abroad, Tori would occasionally help take care of her. She eventually had two biological siblings, Chris and Lily Ort. Mary met Master Intelligence and Baby Strength in 2031. She surprised Baby Strength by hugging him passionately as if they had known each other for a long time, with her ecstatically begging him to hold her and pick her up. After Master Intelligence was done speaking with Jena, he and Baby Strength disembarked. Eventually, her sister was carted off to Canyon Secure Center, which led to Cassie babysitting her several times. On Halloween, Mary Ort went trick-or-treating with her entire family minus Cassie, who was with friends, and Tori, who had been gone for a long time. Like Chris, Mary was hasty and frequently walked faster than her family members or otherwise trotted across the sidewalk. Upon returning home, she was open to the idea of bargaining with her friend and siblings, making a candy exchange betwixt them possible in which they traded candy they disliked for candy they preferred instead. She also confessed that she considered Lily annoying, even though she loved her. On November 16, Mary was babysat by Cassie Ort while her parents were away. She was downstairs with most of her siblings when Master Intelligence and Baby Strength came over, and so she never interacted with them that day. After the Orts began putting up Christmas decorations on December 7, Mary fell asleep on the couch. Master Intelligence eventually noticed her waking up and informed Baby Strength, who calmly greeted her. She hugged Baby Strength when he offered her one, but as he noted, she was far less talkative than usual because of her exhaustion. On Christmas, Baby Strength gave her a childrens' novel written by Roald Dahl and took a picture of her playing with Lily. Mary was mentioned in 2052.

Mary Ort was a beautiful little girl being described as 'her older sister in miniature'. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. Mary had an energetic, lively personality. She was supportive of the S.M.S.B. and was willing to express her opinions to Baby Strength openly. Mary was extremely affectionate and prided herself on being a *"hugger"*. However, she was understandably less talkative after she'd taken a nap, though she still hugged Baby Strength when he offered her one. Indeed, Mary also had a more pragmatic side and was annoyed by Lily Ort's antics, though her love for the toddler and the rest of her family was clearly unconditional. This quality made her a mature yet engaging girl with the combination of fun but deep maturity when needed. Mary's relationship with her parents is mysterious, though it is implied to be healthy. Her relationship with Tori Newell is unclear, though she does occasionally read to Mary or help her get into bed at night. While she loved all of her siblings unconditionally, she did consider Lily Ort, the toddler, to be annoying. The siblings all appear in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect*.

#### **Cody Ort**

 File:Ort-face.png
 File:Ort.png  A teenage bully at Tower Placement School who once tried to beat Josh Hogan up for not letting him copy off of him on a test, Cody could be related to Dustin Ort, who would eventually become the stepfather of Tori Newell. He attended the Boy-Team's secret meeting following the construction of the Boy Trap in 2021, where he made a controversial claim that Emily Watson had used cookies to reward thousands of people for believing her. He was not the only member shouting his outrage regarding the event, as several people were making their own witty yet irrational protests. During an exam, Ort realized he did not know the answers, so he tried copying off the answers of a fellow student, Josh Hogan, hoping to obtain the correct answers. However, Hogan did not let him, as he blocked his view with his hand. This angered Ort, as he later tried beating Hogan up in front of Steven Thompson. However, Summer Petersen saw what was happening and told him she had spotted his friend at the end of the hallway watching him. Ort fell for it and ran to find them, as Petersen had been intending to avoid Hogan from getting beaten up. Ironically, this is part of what got Steven Thompson and Summer Petersen back onto speaking terms.

Cody Ort has light brown hair and has dark skin. He wears a green shirt, brown pants, and black shoes. It would seem that at his core, Ort is a cruel and mean bully devoid of all sympathy. He is probably unintelligent, as he claimed Emily Watson had rewarded thousands of followers with sweets, desperately attempted to copy off the reasonably timid Josh Hogan on his exams, and believed Summer Petersen when she claimed his friend was at the end of the hallway.

#### **Dustin Ort**

"*Technically, I'm step dad, though she's lived with me most of her life. She's at her birth father's house.*"
―Dustin, to Baby Strength[src]
Dustin Ort is the father of Mary, Chris, and Lily Ort, the legal father of Brad and Cassie Ort, and the stepfather of Tori Newell, and the husband of Jena Ort. His new wife took on his surname, as did two of her three children, Cassie and Brad. Tori, who had a close relationship with her biological father, who was Ted Newell, became his stepdaughter, although he spent more time with her than her biological father did. They had three more children, Mary, Chris, and Lily. He reportedly had "issues" with his stepdaughter, although it was implied that most of Tori's enmity was with his wife, and things became so bad that Tori ran away from home. Fortunately, she was eventually located and was admitted to a mental hospital to be "analyzed". Troy ran away again on June 9, at which point Dustin was contacted by Master Intelligence and Baby Strength. When Baby Strength brought gifts on Christmas evening, Dustin thought he was very wise in his judgement on which books were good for which age, such as giving Lily a book about the old television show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Cassie a sophisticated graphic novel about the Bible.

Dustin is a true friend and devoted parent with his heart in the right place. He is seemingly concerned first and foremost with his family's well-being and enjoys their company. Dustin is very compassionate and, like his wife, believes in second chances and redemption. Dustin has certainly done nice things for his children before, and after over a decade of parenting, has shown deep competence in raising children of various ages, which was a very taxing responsibility to begin with. Like most (if not all) of his family, Dustin has been known to bond with people quickly and embrace the S.M.S.B. with open arms. Dustin's relationship with his wife, Jena, appears to be healthy and pleasant. On the other hand, it is implied that Dustin had a bad relationship with his stepdaughter, Troy. His relationship with his other children, however, was far better.

#### **Jena Ort**

"*Jena is a narcissist of the worst degree imagibable. That's why Tori kept running away. That's why we divorced in the first place.*"
―Ted Newell[src]

"*It's been eight weeks, but Troy called us!! They won't say where they are or who they're with, and the phone number was randomly generated through an app, so we still don't know much. But our kiddo is alive and safe(ish), and we are thrilled! Please still call police if you see them, because I don't think they are as safe as they think they are. Thank you for all the prayers, support, and love!*"
―Jena Ort[src]
Jena Ort was the matriarch of the Ort family. She married Ted Newell and they conceived Tori Newell and Cassie Ort and Brad Ort, but then her narcissistic nature led her to divorce him and remarry. With Dustin Ort, they ended up having several children, Mary, Chris, and Lily Ort. She was very vulnerable to the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020. Eventually, Jena married Ted Newell and they concieved Tori Newell in 2024. They also had Cassie and Brad. Jena was publicly affable, yet behind closed doors her utterly narcissistic nature induced her to be violent to her own kin. The physical and emotional abuse she subjected her husband to led to their divorce, and in 2033, Jena married Dustin Ort and took on his surname, as did Cassie and Brad. They had three more children, Mary, Chris, and Lily. She was reportedly neglectful towards her daughter and was no less violent to her than she had been to Ted, and things became so bad that Tori ran away from home multiple times. When Jena learned of Tori's affiliation with the Order of the Mystic Specters, their enmity worsened even more. Tori, who had since enrolled in Central Park East High School, ran away again on May 3, 2041. Two days later, Jena began posting flyers. Fortunately, Troy was eventually located and was admitted to a mental hospital to be 'analyzed'. At some point before this, Jena was confronted by a woman named Rose Johannson for her neglect. In response, Jena placed a restraining order on her.

Two weeks after Tori's hospitalization, it was mentioned that Jena and Troy were planning to meet together with a therapist to discuss whether or not Troy was ready to discharge. Jena met Master Intelligence at the library when she dropped Troy off to meet her. On July 9, Jena realized that Troy had somehow acquired a phone. Appalled by what she was holding, Jena promptly took it away from her and proceeded to cast the first stone, leading to a vicious physical fight. Reacting in self-defense, her daughter caused her sufficient injury that required she wear a cast until her left hand could heal. Afterwards, Tori ran away for the fourth time, this time seeking refuge with Lincoln Strafford, but Jena found her thanks to the treachery of one Nurse Rose Johannson. Reluctant to do so, but unable to trust her, she sent her back to the hospital. Upon their arrival, they had a family therapy session prior to Jena's departure. Two days later, Master Intelligence had a phone call with Jena Ort, but he was nearly overheard by Lindsay Kellerman. He returned some of Troy's possessions to Ort. She surprised him when she agreed to hide the Enforcer in her garage. She feared that this would help Rose Johannson exploit him, but Master Intelligence was confident that Johannson could not undo anything about his life. When Tori's treatment failed and the hospital refused to keep her any longer, Tori was transferred to Canyon Secure Center, a facility for long-term treatment, surprising and enraging her. Jena suspected she was embarrassed by the turn of events and did not want any of her friends to know where she was.

On September 3, Tori Newell unexpectedly discharged because Jena and Dustin's insurance refused to continue paying for treatment in that form. Upon returning home, however, Tori immediately ran away once again, much to Jena's fury. On September 8, one of Jena's friends saw her on 6000 by the railroad tracks walking eastward, but this trace proved ineffective and Tori remained out of Jena's grip. On September 24, Tori generated a random phone number through a phone app, briefly making contact with Jena, making her realize that Tori had survived the great big open. However, Tori refused to explain where she was and who she was with. On October 1, Jena voluntarily drove Captain Strength to a meeting. Jena went trick-or-treating with her children as well as Captain Strength. Much later, she got her kids into homeschooling, including Lily, who was excited to get started with school. During the height of the anarchy plaguing New York, she was still embroiled in conflict with her family and forwarded Master Intelligence's inviting phone call. Sometime following the downfall of the Apostles, she called the police on Stanley to be arrested, although they did not charge him owing to a lack of evidence he had done anything wrong, as he had merely knocked upon her front door. Stanley suspected her children would be taken from her.

Jena Ort was a pretty middle-aged woman with brown hair and light skin. Her face was described by Captain Strength as *"careworn"*. Master Intelligence and Crystal both considered her beautiful, though Captain Strength and Lindsay Kellerman disagreed (though Kellerman currently used the word 'ugly' to describe a variety of people). In the beginning, Jena was portrayed as a highly pragmatic, polite, and strong-willed woman, a true friend and devoted parent with her heart in the right place. She is seemingly concerned first and foremost with her family's well-being and enjoys their company. Jena is very compassionate and, like her eldest daughter, claims she believes in second chances and redemption. Jena has certainly done nice things for her children before, and after nearly two decades of parenting, has shown what could be perceived as deep competence in raising children of various ages, which was a very taxing responsibility to begin with. While often appearing polite in public, Jena had no qualms about insulting people behind their backs, even her own family members, casually saying that her daughter was disordered and her ex-husband was enabling. However, behind closed doors Jena was actually a ruthless and cruel narcissist of the worst kind, one who did not treat her first-born the way she treated her other children, and their interactions could become aggressive and violent because of Jena's lack of restraint or conscience. Even the unbelievably immoral Rose Johannson called out her abusive nature in outrage and hotly confronted her, prompting Jena to place a restraining order. The fairly eccentric Crystal has accused her of being fake. She sent her own daughter to Canyon Secure Center even though the place had a reputation as being barbaric. Like most (if not all) of her family, Jena has been known to bond with people quickly and embrace the S.M.S.B. with open arms. However, she was presumed to be the only one who did so with ulterior motives. Further separating her from the others in this field is that her quickness to trust has been her undoing before, as she dated a man who raped her daughter, which was what started their bad blood in the first place. Jena's unbelievable insanity rose to the surface during the reign of Red Mist, destroying more and more of her relationships. She is mentioned and seen in a photograph in *S.M.S.B.: Where Are You Now?* before appearing directly in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect* and being mentioned in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Latest Threat*.

#### **Lily Ort**

"*Did you notice every time you open your mouth weird noise come out?*"
―Lily Ort[src]
Lily Ort is the daughter of Jena Ort, the younger sister of Mary and Chris Ort, the legal sister of Cassie and Brad Ort, and the stepsister of Tori Newell. She is considered to be a cute girl by a lot of people and, in Titanium Girl's opinion, the living embodiment of adorableness. Despite not appearing in *S.M.S.B.: Where Are You Now?*, Lily is mentioned by Jena Ort as *"the toddler"*. She first appears in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect*. Tori would occasionally help take care of her and once filmed her wandering around and singing listlessly, though she often didn't see her for long periods of time because she frequently ran away from home. Mary loved Lily, but she also considered her to be annoying. Lily briefly met Captain Strength and Master Intelligence in 2031. Eventually, her sister was carted off to Canyon Secure Center. Following this, Lily became very irritable and started to hate her lot in life. Shortly afterwards, she took her mother's phone as a prank. However, she and Captain Strength would meet more properly on October 1. Lily was riding with her mother when she drove the superhero to a meeting. A thoughtful girl, Lily talked Captain Strength's ear off and frequently said random things that came to her mind, usually forgetting to provide Captain Strength with any context. Among these things was asking him whether he knew that weird sounds were being made every time he responded to her comments. By Halloween, Lily's disposition had grown calmer. When Captain Strength arrived to trick-or-treat, he held Lily's hand to comfort the nervous toddler when they approached a heavily decorated house that made scary sounds, as Lily was nervous and had no idea that the sounds were coming from a boom box. Upon returning home, Captain Strength initiated a candy trade where everyone traded candy they did not like for candy they did like, during which time Captain Strength supplemented music. However, Lily kept childishly throwing candy at her siblings and at Captain Strength, but looking confused when they gave her candy in return by sliding it over to her, making Captain Strength realize she was too young to understand the concept of an exchange. At this point, Captain Strength would have come up with an affectionate nickname for her, but he chose not to because they barely knew each other at that point. On November 16, Lily was babysat by Cassie Ort while her parents were away. She was downstairs with most of her siblings when Master Intelligence and Captain Strength came over, and so she never interacted with them that day. On December 7, Lily helped her family put up Christmas decorations. When Master Intelligence, Captain Strength, and Titanium Girl came over, she met the latter and was held by both her and Captain Strength. She also ate a lot of cookie dough, bothering her mother. On Christmas, Captain Strength gave her a picture book and two passionate hugs, and took a picture of her playing with Mary. Lily also confessed that she found frogs to be disgusting. It was at this point that Captain Strength took to affectionately calling her a "gummy bear", which Lily was tolerant of.

Early in May, Lily Ort was said to have had an 'awesome' fourth birthday. She was planning on doing a distance-learning preschool program that was similar to what her siblings wee doing, being excited at the prospect of being 'a big kid who does homework'. Although she was supportive of the S.M.S.B., she was probably too young to realize exactly what was going on. When her siblings leaped into a wormhole to join the S.M.S.B. at the Tower of Reincarnation, Lily attempted to help, but was stopped by Chris from risking her life. Lily was shocked to see her friends being put in grave danger and screamed sadly as Chris held her. Lily was mentioned in 2052.

Lily Ort was a beautiful and adorable little girl being described as '[her] older sister in miniature'. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. However, she was also petite, as Captain Strength guessed that she was eighteen months old when she was actually three, and there are a small handful of descriptions alluding to her being very small. Nevertheless, he thought she was one of the most adorable children he had ever met. Titanium Girl went even further, considering Lily to be the living embodiment of adorableness. Lily often didn't wear a shirt at all, albeit when in her family's house or in the car, and on Halloween, she wore a witch costume. A thoughtful and extroverted toddler who possessed the energy of her siblings, Lily Ort was, more or less, the ultimate personification of childlike innocence, inspiring affection from nearly everyone and having a charming and ideal personality for someone her age. She was supportive of the S.M.S.B., though it is implied that she was too young to realize exactly what was going on. Lily was also talkative and was known to say random things that came to her mind, usually without any context. Lily often liked to do what her siblings were doing, as she kept childishly throwing candy at her siblings and at Captain Strength, but looking confused when they gave her candy in return (in a more gentle way) making Captain Strength realize she was too young to understand the concept of an exchange. Like Mary, Lily was also extremely affectionate and enjoyed playing with her older siblings. According to Troy, her energy often made it hard for her to settle down enough to go to sleep. Like most children her age, Lily also had a lot of immaturity and pettiness that she was completely oblivious to, as she was seen fighting over a toy and throwing candy. Her understandable naivety also made her very fearful of approaching a house heavily decorated for Halloween. She was also mischievous, as she stole and hid her mother's phone. Initially, her mother claimed she complained about everything and hated her lot in life, which elicited pity from Captain Strength who said she was too young to be self-deprecating as her life had just begun, although he could relate to having been self-deprecating as a toddler. Despite her former miserable countenance, it's worth noting that she opened up to Captain Strength, at least to an extent, as she talked his ear off during their car ride and all of Tori's siblings liked him more than the other members of the S.M.S.B. She became very fond of him on Halloween and kept asking him to hold her or help her onto the table. She also trusted him enough to hold his hand when they were approaching a scary-looking house, and extending the same hand of trust to Master Intelligence. She was also okay with Captain Strength calling her a "gummy bear". Lily was known to be very fond of cookies, and of cookie dough in particular. She also found frogs to be disgusting, at least as a toddler. Although she was young and petite, Lily was intelligent enough to correlate numerous topics faster than she could blurt them out, in turn showing she could speak surprisingly well for a toddler. She possessed an intellectual curiosity and looked forward to preschool. Notably, she was capable of stealing things and hiding them in clever places. Like the rest of her family, Lily was capable of very strong love. She appears in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect*.

### **Will Oswald**

 File:WillNelsonpromo6.jpg

"*You've been here since day one, we met and instantly clicked. Then one day we just separated, different schools, different friends, different families. Then one day, as if it was fate. We met once again, and it was almost an immediate opening for friendship. It was as if we had seen each other every single day for the last nine years.*"
―Will's exposition on social media[src]
Will Oswald is the alleged elder brother of Valiera Nelson. Eventually, they separated, and Oswald went to a new school, Tower Placement School, befriended new individuals, and became a part of a different family. Nine years later, they were reunited, much to the delight of them both. He attended Tower Placement, where he had a gaggle of three female friends in November of 2020. He graduated just prior to the outbreak of the School War in 2021. Apparently, Valiera continually complained to Will about a member of the Armies of Organa named Charles Hugh. In August, Will began hanging out with Valiera more than ever, as she called them and her lesbian girlfriend Miranda Patrick 'inseparable'. This was because they had moved in with each other, doing so around the time Valiera's biological father returned into the picture. He became annoyed when Charles did not realize he and Valiera were related, as he said his surname was "Oswald" on Instagram, leading to the confusion. Apparently, he had a crush on a girl that Valiera didn't know about, and he refused to identify her when she found out. When she put on Instagram that she wanted Will's crush to stand up, Will angrily said she was making him think of death. When the school year began, Oswald officially graduated from high school along with his peers, a ceremony which had been prolonged due to the events of the School War.

While the Skirmish in Provo was ensuing elsewhere, Will Oswald joined Val Quintana in antagonizing Charles online at the beginning of November, calling him a "muppet" and a "fucking vegetable" and telling him he resembled a monkey and smelled like a skunk, to which Charles smoothly responded with "that has to be preferable to resembling you". He clearly took pity on Valiera, even though Luke Norris pointed out that Valiera was a victim of karma — verbal abuse warrants verbal abuse, so it made sense people were so mean to her because she was always mean to them first. Oswald ignored him. Val eventually mended her relationship with Charles and presumably, Will did as well. It is unclear if they were dating, but Will did not feel awkward around Charles and acted as though they had always been oblivious to each other, much to the latter's chagrin. At this point, he had been dating an undisclosed girl for a long time. Quintana returned from Salt Lake and Oswald went swimming with her and Charles. Quintana posted a photo of them on Instagram, which was seen by Summer Petersen. She had a more complex reason for returning, however, as she was determined to fight in the Second Battle of Tower Placement to compensate Natalia Thornton for her lack of reliability during the Cavalier Offensive.

Despite ultimately being mysterious personality-wise, he does not appear to be a pleasant or friendly person at all, leading people like Charles and his (Charles') homeroom teacher to see him as unprincipled and egotistical. For example, Charles was unaware he was related to Valiera Nelson since his surname was "Oswald", and he responded with "um duh u really didnt know?" He is very judgmental and displays "preferential treatment". Even his warm relationship with Quintana and Patrick, both of whom he was exceedingly overprotective of, was less proof of a loving nature, and more proof of his ability to play at civility when it suited his ends. This is supported by his yelling at Charles and threatening him for making a proposal to compensate his (Will's) roommate. It appears that his love for Valiera is less intimate and more subject to a possessive obsession. He was obnoxious, condescending, pessimistic, and a hypocritical ingrate, much like Preston Rumsworth. He claims to love Valiera and hates Charles for having a similar, though less objectifying, opinion of her. Online, Will is known to use pathetic insults such as calling people muppets or vegetables or going so far as to deal in the absolute that they are doing what he wants them to, or they do not work out to stay fit — as opposed to Charles, who rarely offends people deliberately and uses clever trash talk when he does. He is also known to be fond of posting memes, especially ones about anime.

Will Oswald is an extra in the 2018 novel *Boys vs. Girls 2* and is identified on D.I.T. Website before serving as a minor antagonist in the 2019 novel *Boys vs. Girls 2 Prelude*. Will only appears once physically in canon, usually appearing as online texts Charles Hugh reads on a screen and a photo seen by Summer Petersen, making him a mysterious and ultimately hitherto unimportant character. Despite this, he is practically raising Valiera Nelson, a major character in the franchise.

### **The Outlaw**

Fierce and brash, the Outlaw perished during the Battle of Bast Castle. He is an obese man with long, dark red, mullet-style hair, bushy red eyebrows, a bushy mustache, a short red goatee on his chin, and murky-green eyes. He wears a large brown coat, light green shirt, blue frills, a red tie, both black gloves and chaps, both brown pants and leather belt with gold buckle, and a gray Stetson hat with black band around on its brim. He appears in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect*.

### **Owen**

"*Me giving everybody their way. This is no way to run a business!*"
―Owen[src]
Owen is an animal keeper and the owner of a magnificent Dark Horse named Flame. Over the course of his life, Owen bred mysterious animals and sold them in his meager shop. Among the animals was the magnificent Dark Horse Flame, who spent several years under Owen's care. In May of 2030, Owen was visited by Baby Intelligence. The baby had come looking for a powerful steed to ride, as his own means of transport was broken and needed repair. When Baby Intelligence explained the situation, Owen allowed him to rent Flame. The Grandmaster of the S.M.S.B. promised to return with the money for Flame's rental. The cause of Owen's death was not directly revealed, but upon discovering the news Baby Intelligence assumed he was killed by NoHead forces. Following his demise, Baby Intelligence took Flame as his own, employing his help in killing Karkamel. Baby Intelligence was forced to part with him but Flame was taken well care of by the Police Grand Army. He was very intelligent, being knowledgeable about hundreds of animals throughout the universe. Owen had red hair and brown eyes and light-brown skin and possessed a "professional eccentricity" in regards to his work as an animal breeder. He was well-natured and has shown to be considerably reasonable. He appears in *The Super Babies: An Ended Generation*.

P

### **Pablo**

Pablo is a chef of considerable skill, having won several prizes in his career. His success garnered the attention of the mighty Magistrate, who hired him to work at her Palace and lead dozens of culinary experts in preparing cuisine. Assisted by the kitchen boy, a child named Marco, he and his men consistently cooked exotic and fattening foods for their ruler, preparing eight platters per day. They also prepared her unconventional dual breakfasts. While he was Zira's head chef he became friends with the dancer Natalie Clarke and the animal keeper Luke Jones. Pablo found it necessary to hide the choicest morsels and meals behind an electrified fence in his kitchen to keep the Palace's guards and Marco from stealing too many "samples", which his subordinates were very helpful with. This, incidentally, kept him alive, as he did not wish to see his ruler going hungry. Pablo felt deep remorse for Summer Petersen and, due to his compassionate nature, fed her friend, Helen McKeen, helping to keep her alive. This was risky as he had been forbidden to feed McKeen anything. For this he was thanked by Petersen, who also met Marco, who was too shy to greet her, but giggled innocently when she ruffled his hair. Pablo is described as being a heavy-set man with a mustache and cap. He wears green clothes under a white apron and a chef's hat over his bald head. Pablo is very compassionate. He is known to respond well to flattery, which also testifies to his humility. He appears in *Boys vs. Girls 2* and *League of Red Stars*.

### **Michael Palo**

Michael Palo is an acclaimed zoologist and writer of *The Ways and Cultures of Marvelous Beasts*, which became a bestseller, making Palo a respected expert in the field of zoology, as well as becoming an approved textbook at Superhero School. In addition to his metahuman physiology, Michael was an exceptional author when it came to writing books related to creatures, with tireless passion, having been the one who wrote *The Ways and Cultures of Marvelous Beasts*, which contained detailed information regarding many creatures in existence and it was of such a high quality that Michael quickly became famous for it.

### **Pansy**

Pansy is a student who attended Tower Placement School in the early 2020s. Eventually, she joined the school newspaper, *Weekly Acorns*. In 2021, Pansy did an advice column for the paper under the request of Terrek Courtney. She occasionally joined Caius and Ambrose in bullying other students. Like the other two, she particularly enjoyed picking on Steven. She was rather quiet and rarely talked at all. Although she sometimes joined Caius and Ambrose in cyberbullying other students, she was not put on probation that year. When the Liberation of Utah began near the end of the school year, Pansy stayed at the school and fought, battling against troopers and Emily Watson. Early in the battle, Pansy fell from a balcony and was attacked by Ludwig Beethoven II. Cooper rushed to her aide and engaged the commander in a duel. Cooper won, and the victory saved Pansy’s life. Pansy then led a group of students who were charged with defending the secret passages into Tower Placement from invading troopers. Later on, she saved Dustin with a cannon blast when a trooper nearly shot him from behind. Days later, she and Steven departed on neutral terms.

Pansy is usually seen in a green jacket, like her counterparts, Ambrose and Caius. She has blonde hair, most of which is concealed under her hood, and blue eyes. Steven evidently thought Pansy was pretty, but no one ever did anything with that. Pansy was intelligent and highly insecure. She was very quiet and calm, and rarely talked at all. She also had a mischievous side, and occasionally joined Caius and Ambrose in bullying other students. However, she was more devoted to her schoolwork and other responsibilities, and kept her distance from most, if not all, students at the academy. Ultimately, she came to like Steven Thompson more than she used to, and apologized to him for “acting like such a jerk.” She was also skilled in combat. She appears in *Boys vs. Girls: The Coming Darkness* and *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*.

### **Danielle Park**

"*But I can assure you that, like plants, all relationships simply need time and nurturing to bloom.*"
―Danielle Park
Danielle Park was the Head of the Herbalism department at Superhero School. Born on March 23, 2001, Park attended Superhero School in her youth, where she excelled at Herbalism. Some time after her graduation, Park returned to Superhero School to teach as Head of the Herbalism department. By 2075, Dynamo taught Herbalism, either alongside her or as a replacement. As the Head of Herbalism at Superhero School, Mrs Park was an accomplished and skillful Herbalist, as well as a powerful mutant in her own right. Testaments to her considerable abilities were her proficiency in the subject she taught. Her talents ranged from taking care of harmless plants, such as Screenpods, to far more dangerous ones. Park kept several parakeets and budgies in the greenhouses that often flew around during lessons and interfered with the students' Herbalism studies. She appears in *Before The SMSB: The Dominion of the Dark Lord* and is mentioned in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Inferno Relit*.

### **Blaise Parton**

 File:Blaise Parton.jpg

"*The bane of my existence and undoubtedly an obstacle next year unless he gets help, he so happens to be Valiera's abusive ex-boyfriend. He also stole my backpack once.*"
―Charles[src]
Blaise Parton is a gender traitor, the former love interest of Valiera Nelson, and an enemy of Charles Hugh. He is eventually expelled from Tower Placement School. During his education at Tower Placement School, Blaise Parton became a spiteful, narcissistic bully who enjoyed stealing from other students, though he clearly did not enjoy starting physical fights from it because of his inherent cowardice. He began dating a girl named Valiera Nelson in or around the summer of his sophomore year. He also befriended a young man whose father was a senior official in International Resolutions Inc.. In December of 2020, he met Charles Hugh and promptly ripped his backpack off his back, intended as a cruel joke, angering Hugh and prompting him to chase him outside and to a stop sign, where he pinned him down and stole back his possessions. Parton did not follow him, as Charles had threatened to beat him if he did. This event humiliated Parton and rendered him furious with Charles, but he could not fathom a way to avenge him when he could not only outrun him, but be impossible for Parton to frighten. Blaise Parton's hatred for Charles grew after the latter developed an instant and obsessive crush on his girlfriend Valiera. It was around this time that the School War erupted around them, prompting Parton to join the hideously corrupted Girl-Team under Emily Watson hoping to please Nelson with his allegiance.

About halfway through the war, Nelson dumped Parton and began dating a girl named Miranda Patrick, as she had began to glean from Hugh that Parton was a poor influence on her. Despite this, they seemingly remained friendly with each other. Parton presumably fought for the Girl-Team in the Battle of the Red Battlements, as Nelson was looking for him when she encountered a girl named Summer Petersen. Shortly after this (and perhaps because of it), Parton pinned Nelson against a wall until Hugh caught him in the act and furiously challenged him to physical combat on the condition that he did not release Nelson (making his first direct appearance in canon). Parton reluctantly threw Nelson into Hugh and ran inside. Unbeknownst to either of them, they were being watched by Summer Petersen, who had chosen not to interfere. Shortly afterwards, he stole the lunchbox of a second grader named Jamie Thompson, which she never got back.

After the end of the war, Nelson switched schools from Tower Placement, leaving both Charles and Blaise very upset. He was seen at one point sulking, and Steven Thompson noticed that he seemed to be strangely lonely. When he contacted her on the Internet, she told him to "go fuck yourself". The two completely cut off contact afterwards. Blaise Parton returned to Tower Placement when the new academic year began. But fortunately for everyone except him, he was expelled on September 10, 2022 for mentioning bringing firearms to the school and barbarously convincing his friend to smuggle a nuclear explosive weapon from International Resolutions Inc., and almost succeeding in his attempted massacre of thousands of unsuspecting students, leaving Charles Hugh to wonder if he was in league with Natalia Thornton. He also intended to double-cross and kill the man who supplied his destructive weapon so he could take all the credit for himself. It is never revealed what became of him, but several months after his expulsion, Parton's past actions still haunted Hugh and Nelson to a certain degree. Hugh used him as an example when he was confronting Nelson about what kind of person she pretended to be. At this point he considered Parton to be a *"jackass"*.

Blaise Parton was tall and chunky, having black hair and, according to Steven Thompson, "an pathetic air" about his appearance. To put things bluntly, Blaise was a spiteful, narcissistic bully who embodied all the ideal traits of a stereotypical thug. He was physically competent and enjoyed intimidating other students in Tower Placement, although his hatred of the academic facility eventually went so far as to attempt to smuggle in an extremely powerful demolition to wipe out thousands of underage students, some as young as five years of age. This however failed miserably and he was expelled for his actions. He enjoyed acts of bullying and excessive cruelty, which he seemed to concoct without any form of remorse. It seemed that he particularly enjoyed stealing other students' possessions. So ultimately, he is a weak and insecure teenager as alluded to by his paranoid nature and avoidance of fighting the people he harassed. When Charles Hugh stood up to him, showing no fear of a physical fight, Parton revealed his true cowardly nature by recoiling and fleeing. In a great many ways, Blaise Parton epitomized all the aspects of an ideal bully. His cruelty and pursuit of suffering were nothing more than a means of compensating for his own cowardice and weakness. Blaise was reasonably physically competent and could run at around the same speed as Charles. Despite his cowardice, Blaise was skillful enough that even Principal Zambaux commented on how Blaise almost succeeded in killing everyone at school after trying to smuggle a powerful demolition. Blaise possessed a considerable level of physical strength, as shown in the muscles in his arms and how he is able to pin Valiera Nelson to a wall with minimal effort, who is unable to shake him off and has demonstrated several signs of superhuman strength.

Steven Thompson despised Blaise when he found out he existed, though he at least hoped he would keep Valiera away from Charles. Blaise first met Charles Hugh when he did what he viewed as stealing a random student's backpack as a cruel joke. However, he was humiliated and infuriated when Charles outran and outfought him and stole back the bag, leaving him fuming and sprawled against a stop sign. Eventually, Blaise considered him a severe threat to his relationship with Valiera, as both of them were obsessed with her. Blaise eventually came to fear and despise him. He is a minor antagonist in the *Boys vs. Girls* franchise. He is mentioned in *Boys vs. Girls: The Coming Darkness* and the accounting of his trying to steal Charles' backpack is elaborated on. Parton never directly appears in *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent*, but several indirect mentions of him infer what he is doing. He appears in *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*, but only for a minute or two. He is also a background antagonist in *Boys vs. Girls 2 Prelude*.

### **Paulette**

 File:Paulette.jpg

"*That was Paul. Wanted me for girl meat. He has no respect for anyone... he has no respect for himself.*"
―Tori Newell to Baby Strength[src]
Paulette was a bully who developed an obsessive love for Stanley Vasquez. She eventually befriended a gangster named Hunter. He became enamored of Newell; his unhealthy fixation with her grew to the point where he conceived a plan to ensnare her by means of mind control. After getting her in close enough proximity, Paul forced Tori to date him. However, when the mind control wore off and Tori awoke into a nightmare, she became furious and left Paul and eventually began dating a different gangster, named Stanley. Later on, Paul antagonized her at school, but Baby Strength forced him to stand down by fiercely grabbing his wrist. Shortly before the beginning of the new school year, Paul was brought home by Hunter, and they proceeded to become drunk. Hunter directed Paul into his sister's room, where she was sleeping. Paul, unable to resist, attacked her. The assault was later reported to Master Intelligence. By 2043, Master Intelligence had personally ensured her arrest, as well as that of Hunter. She seemed to be a cold-hearted thug who was not above using Dark mutantry or taking someone he was attracted to against their free will. Furthermore, he did not care about the consequences of his actions, showing him to be rather ruthless, selfish and egotistical. As Tori Newell is non-binary, this could imply that Paul is bisexual or queer, though his sexual orientation is never confirmed. She appears in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect*.

### **Peint**

"*I was home. Except I was not. I learned one can fall into their own dreams so deeply that one never escapes, and the best one can hope for is that their imagination could recreate a universe so similar to my own that I could not recognize it for what it was — a dream, a nightmare. Was this to be my fate? To be lost in a land entirely defined by my own imagination? It had a window, a tree, a bed, but alas, it was not home. But for the time being, I decided it was enough for me. Alas, look at me. I am growing quite sentimental here. It all boils down to my grim entrapment in another dimension. But no more. I have returned. I will share the cosmic gift with all beings and creatures of the universe.*"
―Peint[src]
Peint is a fearsome humanist and the main antagonist in *Demolition One*. He sought to use the Paintbrush and Easel to assimilate the entire universe and beyond into his own image. In the end, however, Peint's plans are thwarted, with the Demolitions killing him and ending the Expansion and his violent influence on humanity for good. Ronan then brutally beat down Peint until he was crippled and at her mercy. Ronan arched her fist under Peint's nostrils and punched them so hard that his bone cartilage was shoved backwards and into his brain, damaging it fatally.

Peint has a God complex. He is extremely intelligent and divinely wise, given his tremendously long lifespan, allowing him unparalleled insight into humanity's darker traits. Hence, even when not utilizing his paintbrush, Peint is still extremely dangerous and absolutely lethal. Peint is a phenomenally powerful mutated being who possessed the ability to manipulate paint/pigment and make the paintings real. He can create/generate, shape and manipulate paint, both the physical substance and paintings, including entering and manipulating them. However, Peint confessed that he cannot transform into or have a physical body made up of paint. In response to Bailey Dennings' taunts, Peint also indirectly confessed that he also did not have the power to trap other beings in paintings and pictures. Being extremely intelligent and insightful, Peint's eclectic genius extends itself to his superb leadership, tactical, strategic, demagogic, deceptive, combat, and weapons intuition skills. Hence, even when not utilizing his Paintbrush, Peint is still extremely dangerous and absolutely lethal. Peint was very proficient at using his paintbrush as a melee weapon when he needed to stall Ronan to decide what to paint next, having realized that he underestimated the Demolitions. Having gradually worn down Ronan during their final encounter, he possibly would have won if Demolition One did not interfere with the battle. He appears in *Demolition One*.

### **Percy and Stephanie**

Percy and Stephanie are minor recurring characters in The Super Babies Saga. Formerly best friends since elementary school, they eventually married and had a daughter named Nicole. Both were die-hard patriots of the S.M.S.B. Percy and Stephanie were both born around a year apart in the early 2010s.

One night, while guarding the Court of Domination for the government, **Percy** was attacked by the Gladiator's follower, the cyborg Augustus Salt; the attack was witnessed by Andromeda, through her power of foresight. Critically injured, Percy was taken to NYC Hospital. Because of Andromeda witnessing the event and alerting the Mayor to it Percy survived the attack and hence he was transported to the hospital in time. Percy was required to take a bitter liquid medicine at regular intervals. Eventually, he tried stitches. However, the stitches were not effective; Salt's car tires apparently had a poison that dissolved them prematurely. According to Thomas Meyer, an antidote to the poison was found and, he was cured, coming home to find Stephanie and his daughter.

Stephanie graduated from college in the early 2030s, and she and Percy were married soon after. Their child, Nicole, was born in 2044. During the Christmas holiday, Stephanie was contacted by the Mayor's assistant to warn her that Percy had been attacked by Augustus during guard duty for the government. While Andromeda wanted to set off for NYC Hospital at once, Master Intelligence had to convince her they could not until Stephanie had been notified; it would look too suspicious otherwise. Before setting off for NYC Hospital, Stephanie called the Mayor and revealed that Percy was still alive, and warned them to stay put. At 5:09 a.m., Stephanie arrived at the MBH to tell them Percy would be all right and that they could all visit him later; Force Baby and Sebiscuits were so relieved, they got up and hugged her. Stephanie was also surprised to learn that Andromeda and Red X had been killed in a recent battle. When the S.M.S.B. members visited Percy in NYC Hospital, Telekinibabe and Force Baby tried to get information from Percy about what he had been doing, but Stephanie got angry and told them that the topic was not up for discussion.

Little is known about the personality of Percy's childhood self, except that he was taught not to speak with strangers, which he ironically explains to a stranger. He and little Stephanie both became very fond of Baby Intelligence after he rescued him. While Percy was often seen as "fun" in the earlier years, with the rise of the Gladiator and the gathering crisis in the world he shouldered a role of increasing challenges, assuming duties within the Department of Defense in addition to new responsibilities at the Court of Domination. He was protective of his daughter, Nicole. In the world, Percy played the role of a well-meaning, reasonably competent every-man, trying to raise a family and do the right thing. He loved his own flesh and blood so much that the only times he was mentioned to lose control of himself were when any of his children were hurt. He was a man of principle and remained loyal to Master Intelligence, even though this impeded his advancement in the government. Stephanie is a kind, gentle (when not angry), and loving woman. Being in the same room with her was very reassuring. It was comfortable to be around such a friendly warm person. She was fiercely proud of Nicole's accomplishments, but scandalized by misbehavior.

### **Summer Petersen's parents**

"*I knew it. We've been spoiling her. I should have spent more time with her, teach Summer to get along better."
"Relax. There's nothing wrong with Summer. She's plenty smart, and once she figures out that she needs to work with others in this world she'll be fine.*"
―Summer's parents regarding their biological daughter's time in preschool[src]
These characters were the biological parents of Summer and Joshua Petersen. They divorced in 2014. Born sometime after the 1900s, these characters were eventually married. Together, they sired Summer Petersen in 1998. In preschool, Petersen struggled with sharing and listening. During Petersen's first school conference, her teacher had concerns shared by her parents. The mother worried that they had been spoiling Summer and regretted not spending more time with her. The father cited that there was nothing wrong with Summer and that the only thing she desperately needed was to better understand the value of a social life, which her intellectual nature would certainly allow her to do. During Summer's sixth birthday, her mother took her to an amusement park and she rode a roller coaster for the first time in her life. In 2013, they sired a second child, Joshua Petersen. However, they divorced in the same year. When it was over, they briefly lived alone with their mother, leaving their father's fate a mystery. Her mother's divorce was likely a factor in her not paying enough attention to her children. In August, she also enrolled her daughter in Tower Placement School. In 2017, she remarried Jared Quintana. As a result, the latter adopted Summer and Joshua and helped raise them.

After her daughter's cat Julius experienced seven consecutive seizures in September, the mother and her newly wedded husband finally took him in, bringing Joshua with them and leaving Summer at home, though they were offended when Summer told them how slow they had been on noticing Julius' condition. At the hospital, the ultimate verdict was that Julius was to be given a lethal drug to free him from his misery. Summer's mother drove to pick her up so she could say goodbye to her cat. The following day, everyone held a funeral for him. Eventually, Summer acquired a robot named Rory. Initially, the mother was skeptical of him, but she eventually came to accept him as a part of the family. Around this time, Joshua's behavior grew so poor that the mother and her husband, with a heavy heart, sent him to a Treatment Center in Colorado. When he was gone, Petersen told her parents what had truly transpired during the School War. She did not react well, and the three of them went into hiding against Summer's will as the Second School War broke out between the reformed Armies of Organa and the resurgent Cavaliers of Thornton. Somehow, she and her husband placed a powerful shield around their new house, the Petersen Estate. She kept Summer and GTR-10 very busy by giving them endless chores and setting up her daughter on Doyle Learning Academy, and continually brought her sweets. When she learned that an administrator named Williams had offered the opportunity to have a mentor meeting with her daughter to discuss students' grades or any other aspect of the self-paced math course, the mother encouraged Summer to take her up on the offer. After Summer Petersen fled to Tower Placement School rescued Joshua Petersen from captivity, and helped win the Second Battle of Tower Placement, she reluctantly relayed all of this to her mother. She was infuriated at her blatant defiance, but was ultimately persuaded by her husband not to punish her for her actions. They bought Summer and Joshua a huge cake to celebrate Summer's victory and Joshua's discharge. She told them to share it four times before leaving with her husband, annoying Summer. Although Summer ate it all and did not save any for Joshua, they never reported this to their mother or to Jared upon their return home. By the time her daughter had moved out on her own, they had not mended their relationship, as Summer still spoke of her mother in a callous, but understandable, way.

Prior to her divorce, Summer Petersen's mother worried she had spoiled her daughter by giving her more material items than attention, and she regretted not spending more time with her first-born and teaching her to get along better. As of present time, however, she is known to be very neglectful of her, partially because of her self-pity following her divorce. This attitude made her own daughter see it as a lack of care for her, leaving a negative impact on the young woman. It is extremely likely that her lack of effort into raising her own children was what brought out their worst qualities, leading Summer to willingly isolate for several years and for Joshua to become violent and immature enough to be sent to a Treatment Center. Summer's mother, like her second husband Jared and in blatantly stark contrast to her agnostic children, was a highly religious woman.

Summer's mother initially feared she had been spoiling her daughter, Summer Petersen, and wished she paid more attention to her and would have taught her better social skills. However, after she divorced, she was neglectful and didn't pay enough attention to her own daughter. She evidently paid even less attention to her cat, Julius, never taking him to see a veterinarian, leading to the cat ultimately dying after months of suffering, infuriating her daughter, especially when her husband defended this obvious lack of care about her daughter's pet. The only known time they enjoyed themselves together was when her mother took her to an amusement park to celebrate her birthday. When she found out that Summer had played a huge role in the School War, she forced her to go into hiding. Being imprisoned in her own mind within the walls of the Petersen Estate for a year while all her friends were in danger made Summer, who already despised her mother, hate her even more. Even as an adult, she spoke of her mother in a callous, but understandable, way. Summer once told Steven Thompson that she loved her husband but not her offspring. Nevertheless, it is likely that her mother still loved her, but her opinion of Summer, or Joshua Petersen, is not much explored. Because she was not very close with her parents, Summer spent a lot more time bonding with Steven, Josh Hogan, and their parents, and generally distanced herself from them. The mother also neglected her adoptive son, Joshua Petersen. She was eventually forced to send him to a Treatment Center because of his poor behavior.

### **Summer Petersen's posse**

"*And yet, it remains exactly the same!"
"No, she's never used that move before.*"
―Reggan Holme and Zachary Brown talking about Tinsley[src]
Summer Petersen's posse was a group of Tower Placement girls which included Sierra and Tinsley. They all gravitated to Summer because of her beauty and popularity, and even followed her into the bathroom. During her education, Tinsley performed extremely well academically, which attracted not only the attention of several teachers but of Summer as well. She was shown to be very annoyed by Zachary Brown, and when he began to grind Summer's hair with his knuckles, making her grip on the locker fall slack, Tinsley intervened, grabbed him, whirled him around violently, grabbed his hair, and smashed him into the opposite wall headfirst, prompting Summer to quietly leave the hallway. Another example of Tinsley's extreme protectiveness of Summer is when she guided her out of the building when the Dark Priest was attacking it with his rifle. She is a very pretty girl with blonde hair and brown eyes and, despite her corpulence, was still stronger than her otherwise delicate nature implied, as shown when she smashed Zachary Brown all the way against the opposite wall after he made a perverse advance on Summer. Most of the other girls are similarly pretty and intelligent. These girls appear in *Zachary Brown* and are mentioned in *Boys vs. Girls 2*.

### **Petunia**

"*Larry was a good man who made a huge mistake.*"
―Petunia[src]
Petunia is the ex-girlfriend of Larry. They undertook a perilous journey to Khustandil. After Petunia believed that he betrayed her and she subsequently made it to Khustandil's gates, she spent years there before meeting Gerekrigkit and Bryan Lindermann. She arranged to journey to Khustandil, a paradise that no one else was willing to risk going to, accompanied only by her boyfriend, Larry. To reach Khustandil, she knew she would have to travel across a strong and extremely mutated current that many had warned her boyfriend against venturing through. Larry was confident that Petunia was mighty and more than capable of making the journey. During the journey, Petunia did not always find Larry easy to trust, despite their romantic history together, which he came to suspect. Petunia often complained that she was giving while Larry was taking. It is unknown why, but Larry eventually came to suspect that Petunia was planning to kill him and finish the journey, alone and unobstructed where he could not bother her again, something Petunia would later deny even considering. His suspicions eventually led him to stand over Petunia's sleeping form, as they had had a heated argument the day before. Larry instinctively pointed his spear at her head, intending even for a brief moment to kill his girlfriend, though the desire to take Petunia's life vanished in an instant, and Larry was immediately filled with shame, letting out an exhilarated cry. The sound woke Petunia, who saw her boyfriend standing over her with his spear ready for the kill, unaware of the brevity of Larry's instinct. She panicked, and drew her knife at the sight of the attempt on her life. Confused, heartbroken, and enraged at the same time, Petunia stabbed Larry in the arm. Larry retaliated by pushing her away, and despite making multiple attempts to explain himself, Petunia continued attacking him until she was left dangling off a cliff. Larry rushed to hoist her up, begging for her to realize he had made a mistake. Crying, Petunia cited that she had too by trusting him, but Larry did not respond. He began tugging her to ground, but Petunia kicked him and let her momentum carry her off the ledge.

Although Larry presumed her dead, Petunia continued the journey by herself, deeply affected by her boyfriend's betrayal. Upon reaching her journey's end, Petunia met the Gatekeeper. Petunia apologized for her inability for her and Larry to work together, but the Gatekeeper understandingly stated that Petunia had lost her mind in a moment of self-defense and had nothing to be ashamed of. Shortly after Petunia's admittance, a messenger informed her that Larry had arrived at the gates and the Gatekeeper had compromised with him by promising admittance so long as she approved. Petunia was still far from recovering and when faced with the prospect of meeting with him face to face, she refused outright to say anything to his face, let alone permit his entry. Twenty years later, Petunia had become extremely popular because of her compassion towards others within Khustandil. In 2117, she met Gerekrigkit and Bryan Lindermann.

Petunia has light brown skin. While in Khustandil, she was seen wearing blue robes. Petunia is a very strong, hard-working, and outspoken woman. She loves Larry, but is also critical and sometimes feels like they are in a give-take relationship. The two are in love, though they often struggle to work together since Petunia is stubborn and overly critical. She refused to talk to Larry, as she sensed he was slowly but surely losing his sanity, but this stemmed just as much from her perception that she would be dead if she had not awoken in time to prevent Larry from stabbing her head. In spite of everything, Petunia is ultimately well-meaning. In Khustandil, she was well-known for her extremely compassionate nature and tender heart. She was in love with Larry, but she finally accepted her limits and deserted him. And unlike her ex-boyfriend, Petunia eventually took responsibility for her own faults, particularly her inability to cooperate with her own lover, which led up to the tragedy. And unlike him, she did not spend the intervening years succumbing to the pain and trauma that would have come with losing her true love. Petunia was remarkably fit and agile, as she was capable of undertaking the perilous journey to Khustandil and making it there, even though most died on the road. Even with Larry's betrayal grieving her beyond endurance, she still made it to the land of her dreams. She appears in *Khustandil*.

### **Phillip**

"*Caving with my handsome.*"
―Valiera Nelson[src]

"*The problem is, she's got someone else, and his face is just heavenly.*"
―Charles' (presumably sarcastic) opinion of Phillip's appearance[src]
Phillip is a young adult who dated Valiera Nelson during her Senior year in early 2023 after she dumped Miranda Patrick. He appeared to be several years older than her.

### **Dory Phillips**

Dory Phillips is a student at Superhero School and an attendee of Superhero University. She joined Roan's Resistance, an organization taught and led by Roan Kendels, and fought in the Battle of Superhero University.

Born in 1999, Dory Phillips joined Roan's Resistance. After RC-31 tested if it was safe to cross the now-broken protections, the Builders charged into the entrance. As Dory Phillips ran for the nearest flight of stairs, she briefly dueled RC-31 before shouting, “BURST!” causing the mines in the Builders’ arsenals to explode, wiping them out. As the robots fell, Phillips threw herself against the stairway’s railing as it tipped over and spectacularly let go and leaped onto the sidewalk further uphill, where Roan Kendels caught her and managed to help her regain her senses, at the cost of breaking his arm from the impact of her weight. The two awkwardly eyed each other for a moment and Kendels dropped her again and apologized hastily. Phillips whispered, “heal”, and Kendels’ arm healed instantly. She got to her feet and looked around as several NoHead skyfighters swooped overhead.

Dory might have had tender feelings for Roan Kendels, as he instinctively caught her and was very impressed by her quick thinking and spectacular dive that saved her life at the cost of injuring herself if he hadn't interfered. He looked at her awkwardly and accidentally dropped her because holding her for a prolonged time clearly made them both uncomfortable. She used her powers to heal him.

### **Calypso Pourkarim**

 File:Calypso Headshot.jpg

"*Captain Pourkarim, you and your fellow subversives in the police have caused me considerable inconvenience. I should execute you now as the traitor you are, but there is one last service that I would have you perform.*"
―The Belligerent to Calypso Pourkarim[src]
Calypso Pourkarim was a non-mutate who used to live briefly with Annabeth Black and Dero. On the way to California, Calypso Pourkarim tried to intimidate Torin by warning her that X1 would kill Torin for taking her. The bounty hunter shrugged off Pourkarim's veiled threat, stating that she had some experience dealing with mutants in the past. Pourkarim was quick to point out that X1 did not possess their patience or restraint. She slyly implied how a mere mercenary was no match against a mutant who was strong enough to rip Super Exterminators out of the sky. Overhearing this, Annabeth chose to reveal the truth about Dero. The apprentice that Pourkarim knew, the original Dero, was dead and the "Dero" that she saw on the *Salvation* was a clone created by the Belligerent. Pourkarim became filled with doubt as Torin pressed on Annabeth's revelation, describing the clone as nothing more than a "half-mad copy who only thought he was in love with her." Although she did not yet believe that Annabeth and Torin were telling her the truth, she tried to reason with the latter on a more personal level. In desperation, she assumed that even someone like Torin must have loved someone in the past, and thus she implored her to not allow the Belligerent to use her and Annabeth just to hurt X1. Though somewhat affected by her pleading, Torin nevertheless continued to head for California to complete her assignment. Feeling the same way, Annabeth remained silent nonetheless.

When Torin reached California, she landed her ship in Santa Cruz, where the Belligerent was waiting for her and her prisoners. Upon seeing the Dark mutant for the first time since he branded her as a traitor to the Empire, Pourkarim felt her body tense out of fear, fully aware of who the bounty hunter's employer had been. After handing Pourkarim over to the Belligerent, a pair of robots forced her to accompany the Belligerent deep inside Santa Cruz's cloning facility. Believing that the Belligerent did not go through so much trouble just to kill them right away, Annabeth took her chances and taunted the Belligerent — reminding him of how he was defeated by his former apprentice. Pourkarim pitched in, voicing her opinion of him as nothing more than a wannabe of Mr. Stupid NoHead. Pourkarim accused the Belligerent of being a coward who was acting out of desperation by kidnapping her. Annabeth also told the Belligerent that she did not believe he was responsible for X1's "return," implying her belief that X1 somehow managed that accomplishment on his own. Although the Belligerent ignored her remarks the entire time, he eventually paused to signal one of the troopers to gag both Pourkarim and Annabeth with sealant patches in order to keep them quiet.

As they made their way towards the top of the cloning facility, Pourkarim noticed multiple cloning tubes containing specimens that all possessed a distinctly familiar face. Then the realization dawned on her — each of the figures contained in a separate cloning tank had Dero's face. They were all clones of Dero. Shocked and dumbfounded, her hope that Dero was truly alive again was virtually shattered by the discovery that Annabeth had told her the truth after all. She quickly began putting the pieces together and realized that the Belligerent was indeed responsible for X1's miraculous return, only it wasn't technically "Dero" whom she saw on the *Redemption* — just a copy of the original Dero who died in Texas. As much as Pourkarim didn't want to, she was forced to admit that it was the most logical explanation, one that made far more sense than her hope that Dero was able to stave off death itself. Her mind drifted back to the clone she had seen on the *Redemption*, causing her to think about the inherent dangers and unreliability of cloning. Considering the fact that many clones went insane in the past due to identity crises, she feared that the first clone she had seen might not be any different. Like Annabeth, Pourkarim was also repulsed by the thought of how the clones were obviously created from the real Dero, or more specifically, his corpse's cells. Despite all of her doubt and uncertainty, Annabeth decided to believe that the clone she saw on the *Redemption* would turn out to be the same hero that the first Dero had been. After persuading herself to not judge the clone's feelings as counterfeit, she desperately hoped that the Belligerent would fail in his efforts to mold the clone into a monster, just as he failed to do so with Dero.

While held captive by the Belligerent in a tower at the top of the cloning facility, Pourkarim took notice of the *Redemption*, broken into two large fragments, falling out of California's orbit and set on a collision course with Santa Cruz. While the robots around her were becoming just as nervous as she was, Pourkarim noticed how neither Annabeth nor the Belligerent showed no signs of fear at all, crediting their confidence to their connection to the Dark side. When the first half of the ship smashed into the facility, Pourkarim felt that she would not survive, nor was she lost on the irony of a captain being killed by her own ship. Before reaching its destination, however, X1 destroyed the last solid fragment of the *Redemption* to avoid causing damage that could have either harmed or killed his friends. When the Belligerent left to confront the clone, Pourkarim was left in the tower with Annabeth while their robot guards established a defensive perimeter around them. When the Belligerent returned, the clone arrived shortly after as well. When he refused to serve the revolutionary ever again, the Belligerent commanded the robot soldiers to execute the prisoners. But a powerful Telekinetic shove|telekinetic blast performed by X1 and Annabeth saved Pourkarim from their gunfire and effectively caused the robots to disappear. Despite this, the Belligerent would not relinquish his best means of controlling his former apprentice. Thus, Annabeth felt an invisible force gripping her throat and lifting her off of the ground. The Belligerent threatened to strangle Annabeth to death with the Dark side unless X1 returned to the mutant's side and submitted completely to the dark side. Despite being on the verge of suffocating to death, Annabeth tried to warn the clone not to give in to the Belligerent's demands. But it was no use since X1 couldn't hear her, and Pourkarim poined out that even if he could have, he wouldn't have done as she said. While she didn't want to be responsible for his return to the dark side, she understood his decision, believing that she would also have done anything to save X1 just to be with him. X1, unable to bear the thought of Annabeth's death, dropped his sabers and fell to his knees in submission.

 File:Girls&X1.png
Noticing her sword nearby, Annabeth seized her weapon and attempted to assassinate the Dark mutant while his back was facing her. But at last second, the Belligerent dodged the attack, only for Annabeth to minimally injure him. In retaliation, the Belligerent pushed her in the same exact way she and X1 pushed the robots. Pourkarim went flying too, neither woman could tell how far he had pushed them, but only knew that they were "forced" out of the tower and that the impact of their fall would hurt. When she landed on a platform, the last thing Pourkarim felt was rain falling into her open eyes. Before losing consciousness once again, the last thing Pourkarim saw was the Belligerent defending himself against an enraged X1. When Pourkarim regained consciousness, she saw X1 had been cradling her body and Annabeth had just recovered. In the aftermath of the battle, she and Koda delivered a report about the police's victory in California to Roxanne, who was communicating with them through WINDOW. They also related their additional success in capturing the Belligerent and preparing to transfer him to the Jade Sanctum for trial and interrogation. They did not, however, disclose the details regarding the original Dero's clone, who was still unsure of his place in the police. With the Belligerent heavily secured aboard the *Shadow Laser*, Pourkarim resumed her position as the stealth ship's pilot once more, though it was Annabeth who told X1 to prepare for subspace.

Upon discovering a renegade clone of Dero, she was both stunned and elated, believing at first that the secret apprentice had somehow overcome death itself. She was shocked when Torin X revealed that the man she saw was just a clone whose artificial feelings belonged to the dead man that loved her. Calypso refused to believe that the clone was anyone else other than the real Dero, mainly out of desperation and desire to believe that Dero was alive again. She stubbornly clung to her delusion until the Belligerent revealed a batch of failed clones that were based on Dero's genetic code. The revelation caused Calypso to feel all of the sadness and remorse she felt over Dero's death once more. Nevertheless, she forced herself to believe that the clone who sought her out would turn out to be the same hero as the original Dero. But even as she redoubled her faith in the clone, she was saddened by the fact that her original theory — Dero's survival against all odds — was proven to be false and that a clone had essentially taken his place. She appears in *The Marauder*.

### **Frederick Powell**

Fredrick Powell was a public official of the government working in the Town Hall, partnered with Professor Saul Bailey and a friend of Percy. Fredrick is described as having sallow-skin and a mournful face, and due to his strange nature spoke in a “sepulchral” type of voice and had an unfaltering gaze that made anyone he looked at uncomfortable. Fredrick Powell eventually began working for the government, who parted him with Professor Saul Bailey and an unidentified friend of Percy. In 2041, he ran into colleague Percy, who was in a rush to reach the Town Hall for a meeting with the governor. Soon after, Fredrick resigned from his post as governor temporarily (and unknowingly, for life).

Ten years later, Fredrick became a target of Plague Reborn, as the Gladiator was seeking the Orb of Power for himself, an artifact of which was stored in the Court of Domination in Transylvania Quarters. Knight of Plague Eve Higgins informed the warlord that a government official would be able to fetch the orb for him, after an attempt to force Russell Stewart to steal it while under the same form of force failed. Sebastian Lestange, one of the Gladiator’s spies at the government, possessed Fredrick Powell to force him to attempt the same theft. Sebastian Lestange noted that Fredrick showed unusual resistance to his mind techniques, which Augustus Salt suggested may have been because the official knew what would happen if he tried to remove one of the artifacts. He mentioned that this was more difficult than he had expected and made him very nearly late for an important Knight of Plague meeting at Transylvania Quarters (as Fredrick’s nature allowed him to resist). Many of the other Pestises were impressed with Sebastian’s work, John Webb clapping him on the back in congratulations, but the Gladiator pointed out that Powell was only one man, as well as that he needed Helen Thornton surrounded by his agents before he acted. He then asked Fredrick if he had anything to say, and Powell said he was ready for the theft in a strangled monotone.

About a month later, Fredrick was forced into the Court of Domination, as he was still possessed. The moment he touched the orb, the defenses around it were triggered, as Fredrick had left his position. Fredrick suffered Taboo damage that affected his mind, causing him to believe he was a teapot. However, the shock of it lifted the mind control. Believing Fredrick had simply been injured in a workplace accident, he was taken to NYC Hospital for treatment, but his injuries seemed irreparable, and as such was moved to the Taboo Damage ward, left lying in his hospital bed, comatose most of the time, and those times he was awake, he was mumbling and staring at the ceiling. Eventually, Fredrick Powell’s condition took an upturn, and his health began to steadily improve. Upon learning of this, Plague Reborn, unable to risk the no-longer-controlled Powell getting better and exposing their plan, sent him an anonymous “get-well-soon present” — a potted plant and a calendar. The Healer in charge of the ward at the time, Martha Strout, was busy over the Thanksgiving period, putting up decorations, looking after patients, seeing to visitations from family and friends etc. and as such overlooked the plant’s dangers, in direct contradiction of NYC Hospital’s strict guidelines on decorations permitted in wards, and left it on Fredrick’s bedside cabinet table. Over the next few weeks, Doctor Strout, noticing Fredrick’s improving speech and mobility, encouraged Fredrick to look after the plant himself, unaware that that the “rather ugly plant” was a disguised cutting of animate vines. One night, the plant, touched by the convalescent Fredrick, throttled him instantly, causing Fredrick to asphyxiate.

Fredrick was discovered dead in his bed the next morning, and doctors were immediately called to the scene, though were unable to revive Fredrick. NYC Hospital, as a result, promised a full inquiry, though were unable to account for the presence of the plant on the ward, and Doctor Strout herself was suspended on full pay. After Fredrick died, the Gladiator severely punished Eve Higgins for her bad advice, especially after hearing a true account of what would have happened from fellow Knight of Plague Wallace Blanks. The death of Fredrick was ruled as a “tragic accident” and the newspaper reported it as “Tragic Demise of Government Worker,” though Master Intelligence realized the truth during the Battle of Jupiter. Aside from Master Intelligence and his friends, there seemed to be no other teenagers or legal adults who knew or cared about Fredrick’s death. Fredrick Powell is described as having sallow skin and a very mournful face. He had an unfaltering gaze that made anyone he looked at uncomfortable. Due to his strange nature, he spoke in a “sepulchral” type of voice. He appears in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Latest Threat* and *Vault of Ages: Cosmic War*.

### **Sage Preston**

Sage Preston is an agent of Max Tegan. He appears in *Before The SMSB: The Dominion of the Dark Lord*.

### **Arcus Priscilla**

"*Our primary focus is what lies within our own borders, not the greater universe. This discussion is over. [hangs up]"
"What an oozing bag of Acoosh mucus! Forget it, he's fifty-seven years old, of course he can't think right. Pale dung ball.*"
―Arcus Priscilla and the Ruby Eidolon[src]
Arcus Priscilla is a Chieftain of the Northern Administration who oversaw the final stages of turmoil as Unifiers were being rounded up during the Shadow Wars. He was succeeded by Nighy in 2138 and had passed on by 2164. He appears in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Inferno Relit*.

### **Prince Zaron**

"*Welcome, Summer. I am Zaron.*"
―Prince Zaron seducing Summer Petersen[src]
Prince Zaron is the head of the powerful criminal organization Dark Nova, and the quarternery antagonist in *Boys vs. Girls 2* and a background villain in *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*, *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Sheriff Bladepoint*, and *League of Red Stars*. A ruthless competitor and charismatic public figure in high society, Zaron made his headquarters in Nevada. Close to the Imperial Palace, but less splendid, was Zaron's Castle: his home. Zaron was considered one of the most influential beings in the star system, on a par with President Waterston, due to his exceptional wealth and influence through his criminal activities. In his youth, Zaron received excellent martial arts training, which would make him a deadly opponent whether he was armed or not. He had already climbed high in the ranks of the Dark Nova criminal organization by the opening of the twenty-first century, replacing the Thunderqueen as leader following her death in 2002, during which Dark Nova almost fell apart following a quarrel with Queen Zygen. His headquarters were a castle in Nevada. Zaron took a great deal of interest in dealing with the International Alliance; knowing that they were the masters of the earth, he hoped to ally himself with them and expand Dark Nova's power to even greater levels. Additionally, Zaron immediately made it a priority to form a close relationship with the Emperor Mr. Stupid NoHead, but the two lost contact in 2017 after the Dark Lord was blasted into comatose.

Upon learning that Vincent Organa was seeking out his primary benefactor Zira Miranda Grover, Zaron rushed to defend her and placed a great bounty on Organa's head. Disguised as Xydarone IV and B-4-90, Summer Petersen and Rory became guests of Dark Nova’s leader. Zaron saw through their disguises, but he immediately was taken by Petersen's charms and pleas for mercy, and realized she was still a teenager and not fully "developed", and asked them what they were after, sardonically suggesting they opt to try an open request "for once". Petersen tried to negotiate an alliance with Prince Zaron and Dark Nova, offering him money in exchange for helping them, but Zaron greedily took the money and refused to discuss attacking Empress Zira. Zaron attempted to seduce Petersen, which made the already suspicious Rory furious. Fortunately, Rory was able to remove Summer from the influence of Zaron’s mind-affecting promises of glory. Summer distracted Zaron long enough to allow Rory to escape with the information that Zaron was the one behind the bounty on Vincent. Petersen, however, temporarily became Zaron's prisoner. Rory met up with Vincent Organa, and together they formed a rescue party, along with Andrew and Joshua Petersen. They were able to break into Zaron’s palace through the sewers. There, they freed Petersen, infuriating Zaron, who came forth upon seeing a chance to trap Petersen in a one-on-one situation. He fired several coils of energy at Summer Petersen, forcing her to evade them, weakening her. When Joshua arrived inside the throne room, Prince Zaron flung a knife at Summer, but Joshua nobly leaped in her path to save her and consequently died. Organa came to Petersen's aid and they all in their cruiser. The palace crumpled to the ground, crushing Zaron in the process. It is mentioned that regardless of Zaron's death, his friend's nephew Talolare took control of Dark Nova, which underwent a civil war and at least one offshoot.

Zaron, according to Summer Petersen, relied too much on his ability to read others. Whereas it was true that he was an excellent judge of character, he did believe himself to be inherently superior to everyone. His creepy demeanor together with his formidable brain and resourcefulness backed up his claim somewhat. He did underestimate the ability of any underage individuals to defend themselves adequately, which was why Vincent and the Petersen siblings were able to get the better of him. He knew both magic and the Kraft existed and respected both energies but never truly understood either. He also considered himself a cultured man. Being extravagant, he did appreciate high living, dining at exclusive restaurants and sponsoring museums and galleries. He once forgave a rival after the rival presented him an extremely rare miniature Mercury flytrap. Such a gift, Zaron mused, was enough to show him that the man was civilized and therefore his mistake could be forgiven. Zaron also prided himself on his emotional control, which he attributed to his cold-blooded, reptilian ancestry. He felt that mammalian races such as Humans, and especially children, were too easily ruled by their emotions, and that in particular they were susceptible to uncontrolled rage. His own "cold" anger was more controllable, and thus, he felt, superior. This facade only dropped on the occasion that Summer Petersen, who he was very attracted to, broke free of his charms and attempted to incapacitate him. His attraction to her was somewhat hypocritical, as he generally had a no-minor policy and was prejudiced against them (though in all fairness, Petersen was only two months from becoming a legal adult, and a lot of people consider her to be at least pretty, so calling his attraction to her young body and celebrated status hypocrisy or pedophilia is decisively something of a stretch). While a Human (and again, according to him, a child) might seek immediate vengeance, Zaron was content to plan his revenge carefully, so as to ensure success, even if it required waiting for years to implement the plan. However, while Zaron's anger built up slowly, in the end it was the very uncontrolled rage he believed himself immune to that doomed him. He was able to find entertainment in even the most hum-drum tasks and, like Zira Miranda Grover, he felt that boredom was for those who lacked imagination. Prince Zaron was a powerful Dark mutant, capable of controlling several objects at once with his mind. Zaron kept himself in top physical condition, and as such, he was dangerous even when confronted alone. His excellent martial arts training made him a deadly opponent whether he was armed or not. He appears in *Boys vs. Girls 2* and is mentioned in *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*, *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Sheriff Bladepoint*, *Boys vs. Girls 2 Prelude*, and *League of Red Stars*.

### **Principal Zambaux**

Principal Zambaux is the head of Tower Placement School. In Zambaux's stead, Exotorn was named Principal of Tower Placement and, under the secretive influence of Emily Watson, took full advantage of his position and authority over students and staff alike. However, unbeknownst to anybody, shortly before Exotorn was set to arrive at school, he was overpowered by Longfellow, who wore the General's armor to impersonate Exotorn and take his place at Tower Placement.

### **Professor Anthony Ruth**

"*...a really strict yet decent boss.*"
―Carol Wilcox[src]
Professor Anthony Ruth is the mentor of Carol Wilcox and Bailey Dennings. Born in or somewhere near Germany on July 6, 1964, Anthony Ruth was an architecture student. He presumably graduated and became a Professor. He eventually met Stephanie Fiennes, who had dealings with the Police Grand Army in the past and warned Ruth to steer clear of them. Eventually, Ruth took up an apprentice, Bailey Dennings, a young and quirky girl who trained with him in accounting though she was much more interested in architecture. Eventually, Dennings introduced him to a girl named Carol Wilcox and the latter's dog, Gobbles. Ruth gave Wilcox work on the condition that she was able to go to the Dancing Dorm and acquire at least two thousand dollars there. Eventually, Carol found her way into the Dancing Dorm and successfully acquired the money. After teaming up with the Police Grand Army, Baby Intelligence tried to call Anthony Ruth, but when he was forced to leave a message, he asked him to summon all his colleagues, including Wilcox and Dennings, and take up arms at the Golden Gates since the Professor knew the area so well. Ruth eventually received the message and gathered all his associates to fly to California. He witnessed Baby Intelligence's arrival and forced him to realize that it was madness to not fight the war robots. At some point before 2043, Professor Ruth passed away from undisclosed causes. It was revealed that he kept a quilt that Bailey Dennings made for him after her graduation, which was given back to her after his death.

Professor Ruth specializes in the field of accounting, though he is ideally a man of many talents. He appears to have a healthy relationship with his coworkers, of both genders; Carol has once described him to Baby Intelligence as *"strict yet decent"*. He's not as much idealistic as Carol Wilcox, but he surely believes in the necessity of his work. Despite his no-nonsense responses to those he has superficial authority over, he is very protective towards his apprentices as though they were his sons and daughters. Anthony Ruth is a world-renowned professor, specialized in the field of accounting. In 2030, he became one of the world's most important experts in various forms of energy. Professor Ruth first met Carol Wilcox when she was unemployed and seeking a new job. Ruth saw potential in her and offered to hire her if she could secure money from the Dancing Dorm, which she did successfully. From there, Professor Ruth seemed to have established a good relationship with his employee. It is unknown how long Professor Ruth has been hiring Bailey Dennings, but she seemed to have established a good relationship with her boss.

### **The Prophet**

The Prophet, also known as the Empty Space owing to confusion with his point of origin, is an enigmatic eldritch creature and a situational ally to Armageddon. He was ultimately captured and assassinated by the Lumiking, ensuring he would never be a threat again and fulfilling divine justice. He appears in *Sebiscuits: Renascence*.

### **Pythoman**

"*All right, Pythoman, I'm open to suggestions. How do you suggest we dominate existence?"
"Um...you can open a Deaforma farm, I can sell promotional ads, and Annabeth can sit in a chair like all the villains on TV."
"As always, Pythoman, you display the IQ of a maggot. If you keep showcasing that and insulting Annabeth, I'm afraid I will have to inflict pain on you.*"
―Sebiscuits Cardarphen and Pythoman[src]

"*If I hurt you now, no one would know."
"Um...I might."
"That is a matter of considerable debate.*"
―Sebiscuits Cardarphen and Pythoman[src]
Pythoman is an ally of the NoHeads and the quartenary antagonist in *The Super Babies: Final Clash of Brethren*. Thinking he could ally himself with the Order of the NoHeads, he met and started following the S.M.S.B. in 2030. Thinking he could ally himself with the NoHeads, Pythoman became enamored of Black, initially advocating an alliance with her to Baby Intelligence. But his plans came to nought, and his power was broken in the Unity. Born in an undisclosed location in 2024, Pythoman spent the early years of his life living under Maya, his grandmother. Eventually, he came into league with the armies of Italy. Apparently, he had wanted to meet acclaimed artist Raphael for a long time, though he had the false impression that he was still alive. Over the course of the Second NoHead War, Pythoman came to respect Annabeth Black deeply, though he was also envious of her formidable power. In January of 2030, Pythoman was alerted to the coming battle at Tsala. Immediately after the beginning of the battle, he ran up to the observation tower, where he and several other Romans aimed projectiles at NoHead forces. Suddenly, he spotted Arcanus Qamar trying to teleport through one of the windows. He responded by hitting him with a staff which stunned him then sent him flying right back out to his death.

Thinking he could ally himself with the Order of the NoHeads, Pythoman met and started following the S.M.S.B. in 2030. Thinking he could ally himself with the Order of the NoHeads, Pythoman met and started following the S.M.S.B. in Cedar Springs, and was spotted and heard by Baby Intelligence twice. Finally, after a confrontation (in which he zapped and nearly shot Lindsay Kellerman) Baby Intelligence subdued him and threatened to kill him. At the superhero's mercy, Pythoman swore by "the government" to help them, believing they would take him to Black. Baby Intelligence released him. The unlikely company, guided by Pythoman, made its way to the Lake of Tears. Thanks to Baby Intelligence's kindness, he made at least some effort to keep his promise. The two had a strange sort of bond from both having been orphaned; in Pythoman, Baby Intelligence saw his possible future, and so wanted to save him so he could save himself. Apart from Baby Strength and Annabeth Black, Baby Intelligence is the only person known to have shown kindness towards Pythoman, who is hated instantly by everyone he meets. When the President of the United States of America was kidnapped, Pythoman convinced them not to finish their trek to the lake, saying that they would be caught and killed by Black and Sebiscuits Cardarphen. Pythoman said he would lead them to a construction tower, in which Baby Intelligence complied, despite Force Baby's suspicions.

At the tower, Pythoman warned them of the evil of the NoHeads, leading to a heated argument between himself and Telekinibabe. Finally, Pythoman left them behind and spoke to Annabeth, pledging himself to them and planning to betray the S.M.S.B. When he returned the S.M.S.B. members were asleep. When Baby Intelligence woke up, he revealed he had seen Pythoman's defect via vision and spoke harshly to Pythoman and all hope of redemption was lost. Pythoman fled to the construction tower with the S.M.S.B. in close pursuit. The defector attempted to outmaneuver them, effortlessly dodging their gunfire and outflying Baby Intelligence's missiles. While the Pinewood Derby landed, Pythoman glided onto the mountain range nearby and stood by the two leaders of the Order. It was at this point that Pythoman became enamored of Black, initially advocating an alliance with her to Baby Intelligence. After Pythoman helped bring about the death of Baby Intelligence in an alternate reality, he continued working closely alongside them, though it quickly became clear that despite Cardarphen's protests, Black only kept him because he was occasionally useful. Minutes later, Pythoman was present when Dark Baby Intelligence was unleashed and the timeline was reversed. But his plans came to nought, and his power was broken in the Unity. Kellerman wanted to kill him to avenge Nelson, but Baby Intelligence stopped her. Pythoman was then imprisoned in Beta Prison for his crimes.

In an alternate universe, after Pythoman helped bring about the death of Baby Intelligence, he continued working closely alongside them, though it quickly became clear that despite Cardarphen's protests, Black only kept him because he was occasionally useful. By this point, Pythoman walked in on Cardarphen to learn that the toddler had just concocted a plan called Operation: Raphael. Excited, Pythoman cited that he had always wanted to meet Raphael, and asked if he would come to them. Cardarphen told him that Raphael was dead. Pythoman stupidly asked where his funeral was, to which Cardarphen impatiently explained that he had been dead for a long time. Feeling horrible for not honoring him at his funeral, Pythoman swore he would uphold his legacy, to which Cardarphen insulted his intelligence, comparing it to that of a rock. Cardarphen asked Pythoman what he had in mind. Pythoman suggested they keep Black out of it while he sold promotional ads for a farm of Deaformas Cardarphen raised. In response to this insult to Black, Cardarphen threatened to hurt him. Minutes later, Pythoman was present when Dark Baby Intelligence was unleashed and the timeline was reversed.

For his age, Pythoman was a good survivor and was very keen eyed and quick of hand this made him an excellent marksman. He was also very good at not being seen and was an excellent spy which made it possible for him to follow the S.M.S.B. for so long. His real loyalties lie with Annabeth Black. He deeply respected her, though he envied her power. During the course of the Second NoHead War, Pythoman became obsessed with Annabeth Black. He deeply respected her, though he envied her power. Black gladly accepted the change in alliance, the two seemed to work well together in their final days. His obsession with her extended to him being in love with and physically attracted to her. During the alternate timeline, he stiffened when Annabeth approached him and told him he had done an excellent job, to which he was lost for words. In the alternative timeline, however, it is shown just how little Black trusted nor respected Pythoman. She only kept him because his loyalty to her sometimes proved useful (often times without Pythoman being any the wiser), or having him assigned to menial tasks. He appears in *The Super Babies: Pride of the Super Babies* and *The Super Babies: Final Clash of Brethren*.

Q

### **Qamar**

 File:Qamar.png
Qamar is the ninth member of the Arcanus. Qamar lived during the height of Lily Elazar's War. He was born in 2018 with a powerful connection to the Darkness. He was raised in Bridgeton, New York. In his youth, Qamar was considered to have an unusual amount of luck, and he usually made the correct decisions. He possessed raw talents associated with his inner powers, namely improved reaction time and physical strength. However, his mother, Abigail, was killed while protecting innocents from mercenaries, leaving her husband, Ken, to raise Qamar alone. He fought the Sword of Masculinity. In response, a basilisk emerged. Annabeth Black used Viper control to get rid of it, but it was ineffective. After the battle ended, Qamar's wounds, caused by the sword that stabbed him, were healed by Annabeth.

When the Arcanus sought new leadership following the Battle of the Dark Barrier, Qamar went to awaken a sleeping guard and forcefully asked him to call President Aaron Clinton. An angry Rebecca followed him, demanding what was going on. Qamar admitted that he was going to surrender, and Rebecca unsheathed her exosword as Mira arrived behind her, telling him that he would have to kill her first. As Kenzie Walters came running outside, Rebecca ruthlessly cleaved Qamar's head from his shoulders, which Bartholomew Gales took no pleasure in detecting.

Qamar was a cruel and bold member of the Order. He was very indifferent to the suffering of the Mindless. The young boy was willing to punish lesser-ranking NoHeads with physical beatings if they displeased him. On the other hand, he was friendly with Annabeth Black and possibly Kenzie Walters and Seon Wan, calling her "champ" and correctly interpreted it as a joke when she pretended to not know how old he was or called him mean. She also seemed to trust him to be responsible enough to secure a valuable prisoner, deliver a message for her, and wake her up when Baby Intelligence arrived in Tsala. He most likely lacked common sense and rational thought, as his downfall came when his extremely unwise attempt to personally surrender everything to President Clinton and possibly join him without consulting anyone in advance resulted in the entirety of the Arcanus fatally assaulting him in retaliation, meaning he was likely unable to consider the consequences of his selfish actions. His actions also made him appear very cowardly, since Qamar did appear to be very frightened and anxious about the situation, but failed to demonstrate any bravery or decency in response. He appears in *The Super Babies: Pride of the Super Babies* and *The Super Babies: The Blabberish Singer*.

### **Quake**

"*Quake? What can a dead NoHead fanatic give you?"
"Everything I have ever wanted.*"
―Annabeth Black and Helena Austin[src]
Quake was the father of Tigris. Although he did not wish to be discovered, he had long fantasized about owning the Eye of Remembrance. Despite his untimely death from cancer, his son ultimately finished his life-long dream and created the One Dominion. He eventually birthed and fathered a promising mutant named Tigris. He did not wish to be discovered by the public, and he apparently succeeded, as the only knowledge of him came from his son. He had long fantasized about owning and wielding the Eye of Remembrance, though it had been destroyed decades ago. Due to cancer, Quake passed away untimely. His loss led him to desperately seek out some kind of understanding of why.

Quake's legacy lived on long after his death. His life-long dream was finished by his son, who created the One Dominion. Thousands of years after his actual death, during the New Order era in 2194, Quake's spirit was intended to be resurrected from beyond the grave, this time summoned by a NoHead cult known as the Everlasting Ark whose leader was the Celestial Bane with Helena Austin, Seasann's student, working in the forefront directly. With the help of an ancient scepter; once used by Quake to drain residual mutant energy, Austin and her apprentice siphoned mutantry from many Mutant Nexuses all spread around the world and used it to empower their followers. Austin plotted to use the collected energy to resurrect Quake. After a hard campaign tracking the Everlasting Ark across the star system, the New Order managed to track Austin in Gorravan. New Order members Matthew and the ghost of Annabeth Black were in charge of the campaign in Gorravan, dispatching every available New Order member from their headquarters, among them, the New Order member Jaden Korn, who participated on almost every mission against the Everlasting Ark. During the Battle of Gorravan, Jaden Korn managed to enter Quake's tomb, intending to stop Austin. He was nearly too late, as she managed to resurrect Quake by allowing his spirit to possess her body, but Quake himself was nevertheless defeated by Korn. Quake's ghost was forced back into his sarcophagus, screaming out a dark promise that he would return.

Quake's personality is not much explored, though his focus relies solely on the completion of his goals and to achieving his ends. This trait earned him respect from his son. Quake possessed the ability to cause earthquakes and erect fault lines leading down to the Earth's core. He is a posthumous villain in *D.I.T. One-Shot: Legacy of the Light*.

### **Queen Zenema**

Queen Zenema was the totalitarian ruler of Venus and Europe. She was known for being the most intellectual, ruthless, and corpulent member of the International Alliance by far, only behind the Magistrate herself, who easily outclassed her in all three categories, in turn garnering her Zenema's undying respect. Born in 1979, Zenema became one of several women who made their bid for dominance during the First NoHead War, falling into league with Zira Miranda Grover, who had just become the President of the United States of America, and became the Senior to the currently top secret International Alliance. Working closely with Zain, another mastermind in her own right, they spent their resources garnering favor with those who seemed to be shifting into power.

Following the Alliance's uprising, the NoHeads retaliated by placing a bounty on the head of whom they falsely suspected to be the founder of the organization, Zenema of Venus and Europe. In response, Zenema took her yacht, *Cosmic Jadeite*, and set off for the headquarters of Gavin Suppore, an old acquaintance of the queen. Zenema informed Suppore that there was a bomb in his palace, but when the NoHeads sent Kish Keptor to investigate, no bomb was discovered. After a heated trade war, with Zenema outwitting Suppore on every trade, Gavin Suppore tried to kill the queen. Zenema responded by letting loose a fatally poisonous scorpion on Suppore, which bit him almost immediately. Threatening to blow everyone up with a bomb she possessed, Zenema persuaded Suppore to give her everything they traded for an antidote to the fatal bite. When Suppore was reminded about the bomb, he played along and asked Zenema to detonate it. Things took a turn for the worst when Zenema called Gavin Suppore by his real name, Sonya Cremar. Keptor, recognizing the name as that of the man who had once tricked him out of his high rank in Zenema's court, took a shot at the man. The bullet ricocheted, exploding Gavin's head. Keptor realized he was the actual "bomb", and had played right into Zenema's plan.

After this, Zenema returned to Germany, moving her operations into a Palace, safely nestling herself in the castle's comfortable obscurity, where she claimed absolute control of both Europe and Venus. She never even had to walk — her throne reclined and took her around her palace and to her retrofitted limousine. The throne, which also folded into her bed, had been built in 1984. As a result, she quickly filled out to massive proportions until she was quite easily one of the heaviest members of the Alliance — although, nowhere near Zira's weight. Zenema spent most of her time resting, using her laptop, or reading, and always had her food within easy reach. Within the bath chambers Zenema would wade in to a massive pool, often attended by not only her man but other slaves from her vast harem. While the Queen relaxed her girls would scrub and massage every inch of her corpulent, sedentary body. She was also present at Jalahassea. In 2023, Zenema realized how much the capture of Helen McKeen meant to Zira Miranda Grover as it would in theory fulfill the promise that Helen would become her slave. For the task, she insisted that the Warrior Guild interfere.[*citation needed*] As another measure to recapture McKeen, she dispatched hundreds of soldiers to Tower Placement School, they arrived in the middle of the fight going on there. Summer Petersen called Zenema on the phone, telling her this final drastic measure was madness, but Zenema, who was wearing vinyl padding that wrapped around her chest and didn't cover her shoulders, didn't listen to her, despite her role in saving her superior's biological son.

When Zunex began constructing the Magma Sword, Zenema came and took part in a close inspection of the partially completed superweapon, at which point the architects took to removing all the Imperial padding and leaving only the central superlaser weapon, encased in a cylindrical steel shell. In 2024, Zira Miranda Grover caught Claire Julian cleverly hiding in a closet, but she was not interested in her anymore because her days as a vulnerable teenage girl in the mid-2000s were now long gone. Nevertheless, Julian was subjected to precisely what she had dreaded — becoming not Zira's personalized servant, but serving a very similar role under Zenema, who was happy to buy her from Zira. However, Zenema grew disinterested in her after a matter of days and wanted to focus on the Magma Sword agenda in either case, and so Julian was sold to Zaynie after Eegan Grover made it clear he was not interested. However, thanks to her overconfidence and shortsightedness, when the weapon was completed, Zunex fell.

Queen Zenema is a vastly corpulent woman as a result of her sedentary lifestyle; her throne guided her around her palace, and while she sat in comfort, her guards did all her physical tasks. Zenema had light brown hair and green eyes. On most occasions, she wore elegant royal robes. Although she was overweight and pale as a result of indoor living, Zira also considers her to be "reasonably pretty". Highly cunning and pragmatic, Zenema was a tactical and political genius, on a par with Zain, though far less intelligent than Zira Miranda Grover. Hence, she was adept at bending others to her will, even those as unwilling as Sonya Cremar. She found obsession with her power and wealth. Despite her beauty and seemingly tender nature, she showed no mercy to her enemies and rivals, often killing or imprisoning them, going to show just how unforgiving she was. Zenema was also prideful, believing herself to be inherently superior to everyone. She also enjoyed cruelty, in the form of torture, executions, and subjugation (as with the case of her palace). She did this for enjoyment, as well as for practical purposes of logistics and need, proving just how sadistic she was. Being exceptionally inactive, she was used to having her guards do her physical tasks for her. She kept herself secluded in her palace and rarely left. Zenema was extremely gluttonous. Wherever she was, she ate six meals per day. She always had food within easy reach of her throne. Zenema's favorite activities were using her state-of-the-art laptop, reading, and eating. Zenema is highly intelligent and calculating, on a par with Zain and well ahead of Valarie and Zunex, often thinking several clever strategies to get her way in almost anything. Zenema can barely move around and is defenseless on her own, instead relying on numerous henchmen and slaves to get what she wants. The *Cosmic Jadeite* is Zenema's personal sky vessel. She has been very diligent about keeping her vessel combat-ready.

### **Ashton Quintan**

"*What about Ashton?"
"Yeah! She was so cool. I'm gonna miss her a lot."
'It's okay. It's over. Technically, she doesn't exist anymore.*"
―Force Baby, Telekinibabe, and Baby Strength after Ashton Quintan is erased from existence[src]
Ashton Quintan is a major character in *The Super Babies: Final Clash of Brethren*, as well as the daughter of Bruce Wright and Kathrine Quintan in the alternate reality inadvertently created by the S.M.S.B.'s successful mission to restore Baby Intelligence and prevent the NoHeads from ruling the entire cosmos. She existed only in the alternate reality created by the members of the S.M.S.B. attempting to rescue Baby Intelligence by changing the outcome of a skirmish that had occurred within the City Volcano. In this reality, Bruce had an affair with Kathrine shortly following the death of Baby Intelligence, since Bruce partially blamed Carol Wilcox, which in the main timeline made him despise her and heavily strengthen his bond with Kathrine.

In July of 2031, Ashton met Lindsay Kellerman and the other S.M.S.B. members when they were trying to fix the Time Machine they required in order to save Baby Intelligence. She accompanied them on their mission and together they made their way to the tower where Sebiscuits Cardarphen resided. As they prepared to enter the tower, Ashton had a moment to realize her very existence would be erased from time forever should she choose to let them inside the tower to obtain the capsule for the Time Machine. However, as she considered her life much less valuable than the prevention of a NoHead-controlled universe, she assured Telekinibabe she would be fine, even though it was obvious she wouldn't be. The two of them took a moment to discuss their strategy, during which time Ashton decided she would drive the Time Machine into the tower herself as she believed she was their best bet not to call attention to it, as they all knew Cardarphen would try and destroy it as soon as he got the chance. Ashton drove the machine inside as planned, but when massive shock waves forced the S.M.S.B. members into submissive positions before their enemies, Ashton was forced to exit the Time Machine in order to save it from being obliterated. She watched as Dark Baby Intelligence killed Baby Strength and Black fought Kellerman and Force Baby dragged his cousin's corpse into the machine. As Kellerman somersaulted into the machine, Ashton smashed Telekinibabe into the machine, which blasted off to present day and the Timeline was changed yet again. Inevitably, she was unborn when this happened.

Ashton Quintan was highly compassionate, kind, and loyal. She was incredibly intelligent, maturing at an alarming pace which would mean she has an abnormally high Intelligence Quotient. Unlike others who possess this ability, however, Ashton does not have any other powers, so she is generally considered to be a Fobble. Ashton is also very feisty, constantly contradicting Telekinibabe as their personalities tended to contrast and "butt heads". Ashton is also very selfless, helping the S.M.S.B. restore Baby Intelligence with no thought of reward even though she knew it would mean she was erased from time. She considered herself to be far less valuable than a timeline the NoHeads had no control over. Ashton has a very sharp and insightful mind, and while she never took an IQ test, Lindsay Kellerman was certain it was in the 150s at least. She appears in *The Super Babies: Final Clash of Brethren*.

### **Kathrine Quintan**

"*No offense, sir, but... I'm not sure I like her very much.*"
―Optica[src]

"*Bruce says she looks like an angel, I think she looks like a witch in a T-shirt.*"
―Force Baby to Telekinibabe[src]
Kathrine Quintan is the mother of Enzo Quintan and a friend to Bruce Wright. Force Baby was neutral about her, but he simply couldn't see why Bruce Wright found her attractive. Optica felt particularly antagonized by her and cited that she didn't like her very much.

She has a variant in Mutantry-4444 who married Bruce, and they had a daughter named Ashton in 2031. Wright had initially harbored a huge crush on Carol Wilcox, but he recently blamed for encouraging S.M.S.B. Grandmaster Baby Intelligence to embark on a suicide mission. When the members of the S.M.S.B. reversed time itself to prevent the NoHeads from destroying Baby Intelligence, this all changed.

Kathrine Quintan was described as being tall, with curly black hair, a ruddy face, and wearing a blue T-shirt. Kathrine was extremely proud of her son, Enzo, to the point of boasting about his accomplishments at every given opportunity. Kathrine was quite genial when spending time with her friends, but she was also antagonistic towards Optica, earning her the baby's dislike. She was rather paternal, but came off as somewhat haughty and rude due to her loud voice and boastfulness of her son's accomplishments. She was also romantic, albeit in a toxic way, frequently flirting with other men, which often confused Baby Intelligence and made him uncomfortable.

### **Dean Rattvisa**

 File:Dean.png
Dean Rattvisa is a female member of the Rattvisa Gang based in Narragansett, Rhode Island. Her group's hideout was threatened by a gigantic Basilisk, which was eventually defeated after attempting to eat Baby Intelligence and Force Baby. However, their hideout was destroyed in the scuffle, and she accompanied Baby Intelligence when he promised to get her and her gang to safety. Rattvisa and the others fought in the Battle of the Western Field. Moved by Baby Intelligence's compassion and devastated by the loss of her comrades, Dean Rattvisa ultimately chose to cease her gang activities with her friends and departed the field. The instability of inbreeding resulted in Dean Rattvisa being born with a severely unstable muscular composition that made it extremely hard for her to move with even obstacles as lightweight as a necklace without hurting herself. She had heard stories for years of the giant snakes, and had been warned of their dangers. However, she dismissed them as mere "ghost-stories".

Dean Rattvisa eventually came to organize and lead the Rattvisa Gang, a group of unsavory thugs who gravitated to her. They set up a secret hideout in Narragansett, Rhode Island. She gave her members the aliases Rattvisa A through K. Dean considered them to be her true family. They would frequently petty crimes and other misdeeds, but none of these incidents were reliably traced back to the gang. In 2030, Rattvisa Cove was threatened by a gigantic Basilisk. The great snake was eventually defeated after attempting to eat Baby Intelligence and Force Baby. However, their hideout was destroyed in the scuffle, and she accompanied Baby Intelligence when he promised to get her and her gang to safety. She also told Baby Intelligence how her heavily modified quad guns worked. Dean Rattvisa and the others fought in the Battle of the Western Field against the Ninth Guard. During the battle, Rattvisa used her quad guns as melee weapons to strike and knock out her foes with a strike to the head while shooting the lethal setting, which allowed her to hit harder and harm stronger opponents. She identified Bartholomew Gales as the instigator of the attack and assailed him, shooting his sword arm and disintegrating it, at the cost of a heavy blow to her forearm from him. Moved by Baby Intelligence's compassion and devastated by the loss of her comrades, Rattvisa ultimately chose to cease her gang activities with her friends and departed the field with the survivors of the battle, ultimately leaving her fate a mystery.

Dean was a young woman who exuded an aura of hipness. The instability of her conception caused her to be born with a muscular structure that was abnormally unstable, thereby restricting her flexibility and making her incapable of becoming physically strong or toned and meaning she could never develop any stomach muscles. Despite this, she still exercised as often as her body would allow, maintaining a consistent weight and a fleshy yet curvy body image, bearing wide hips but a generally tight body frame. Hence, few people knew about her disorder, and her vigor resulted in her remaining extremely pretty. Upon being introduced, she was described as having dark brown eyes, a pale heart-shaped face, and short spiky brown hair. Because of how horrible her muscular imbalance became going into puberty, even things such as sleeves impeded her movements, as she could easily hit her arm against something, and even twisting around could make her trip and fall since her shirt was in the way. Because of this, she was usually seen in a blue gym bra that had no sleeves and left her fleshy stomach entirely uncovered. That said, Dean's attire was practical, albeit somewhat revealing, and both were essential for her to move freely and showed her gang affiliations. Additionally, she wears black tights (presumably to avoid getting hurt when she took long strides) and brown and extremely light boots. However, she also possesses an extremely skimpy skintight uniform to show her allegiance to the Rattvisa Gang.

Dean Rattvisa is a very intelligent and street-smart woman. She was very sassy and sarcastic. She also had a short temper, and seemed prone to pessimism. She believed in her fellow gangsters and called them her 'family'. She would eventually confess that there were some *"nasty incidents"* that happened throughout her life that the authorities were never completely able to link to her. Following the bloodbath at the Western Field, Rattvisa was devastated by the loss of her comrades and moved by Baby Intelligence's compassion for her. Rattvisa ultimately chose to cease her gang activities with her friends.

In spite of her lack of physical strength, Dean Rattvisa remarkably turned out to be very proficient in close-quarters combat, both in armed and hand-to-hand combat. She used her two energy guns as melee weapons to strike and knock her foes unconscious with a hard strike to the head with great skill. She was a very effective leader, as she was able to lead the members of her gang to effectively sneak past surveillance, being responsible for several nasty incidences that were never connected to them, showing that she was a very competent leader. Dean was able to efficiently lead her disorderly gang for a long time. Dean Rattvisa's greatest weakness was that her mutation did nothing to enhance her strength, speed, durability, or stamina. Because of the instability of inbreeding, she was born with an extremely unstable muscular structure that restricted her flexibility and made her incapable of becoming athletic or physically powerful, therefore making her quite vulnerable to the physical attacks of stronger opponents. She could, however, maintain a consistent weight and some relatively fleshy curves by staying on her feet consistently, which she did. Hence, Dean fell short when it came to unarmed fighting and spent most of her time indoors. However, this weakness of hers ultimately proved to be an insignificant one, since she always made up for it by ensuring she was well protected and by the fact that she was a graceful being by nature. Rattvisa rarely deployed herself in direct combat because of her muscular imbalance, poor coordination, and phenomenal intellect.

Dean carries dual direct energy weapons in the form of handguns. They each have two triggers for the index and middle finger for the top and bottom barrel respectively, with the top barrel shooting lightning and the bottom barrel shooting fiery bolts or blasts. While the fire-like blast on the lower barrel is lethal, killing its live targets on impact and even sends the target flying backwards with great force, the upper barrel produces streaks of nonlethal electricity to electrocute its targets and incapacitate them. She had used her two guns as melee weapons in the past to strike and knock out her foes with a strike to the head. She was even shown striking enemies with the barrels while shooting the lethal setting, which allowed her to hit harder and harm stronger opponents. She appears in *The Super Babies: An Ended Generation*.

### **Rebecca**

Rebecca is the sixth member of the Arcanus. Growing up, she was a wild child, getting into numerous fights with her peers, and she had a considerably poor relationship with her single father who initially raised her. In 2025, she joined the NoHeads. As a member of the Arcanus, she spent most of her time perfecting her fencing skills. She also realized that Annabeth Black was extremely popular, which made her jealous. She became friends with Bartholomew Gales, or at least, she was nice to him. In 2027, Gales informed her of his lessons in mind resistance, despite Annabeth forbidding him from telling anyone the truth. She was well-disliked by Kenzie Walters. In 2028, Rebecca accompanied the other Arcanus to California in order to help infiltrate a large facility that threatened to literally rip apart the Darkness. Rebecca found Sean and Annabeth arguing over their tactical strategy upon arrival, and Rebecca unintentionally annoyed Annabeth with her carefree personality. Along with Annabeth, Rebecca sneaked through the underground catacombs in order to plant explosive grenades from within. They were, however, discovered by Poe Ledsa and his Super tank. Ledsa ordered the deactivation of the NoHead's detonators and sent a squad of battle robots and super tanks to distract the women. After the two NoHeads destroyed all of the robots, Black suggested that they use the super tank's weapons system to blow up the power generator since the scientists took the bombs. She contacted Sean, telling him that they were trapped inside. After Annabeth was rendered unconscious, Rebecca was left with a choice: the bombs, or Annabeth's life. Ultimately, Rebecca and Annabeth, surrounded by a great battle upstairs, decided to use the tank to destroy the reactor, knowing the explosion would kill them in the process. However, due to the tough exterior armor of the tank, both NoHeads survived. Following their ordeal, Annabeth and Rebecca, having strengthened their bond, temporarily retired from the battlefield in order to recuperate. Shortly after recovering from their wounds, Annabeth left with Sean to lead a supply ship to the medical station. Since she was not able to sleep, Black decided to eat with Rebecca. While they were eating, two robots attacked them because they were under control of brain worms. The girls took out their swords and defeated them. In response, a basilisk emerged, though Rebecca defeated it by bringing down a pile of rubble on its head. After the Battle of the Dark Barrier, she ruthlessly decapitated Qamar for trying to contact President Clinton and surrendering.

Rebecca is slender and is usually seen in red outfits. Her hair is black. A dangerous and immoral woman, she demonstrated profound devotion to the NoHeads and the Darkness. She was an individual who was absolutely focused on completing her missions. She would attack and slaughter anyone that tried to distract her without any hesitation. Rebecca was also known to be jealous of Annabeth Black when she realized that the Dark mutant was extremely popular. She did, however, go out of her way to save her in 2028. Rebecca's fatal flaw was her arrogance, as, throughout her battle with Baby Intelligence, believed that Kenzie Walters, who was known to hate her guts, was too simple to be considered as a threat, so she was fixated on killing Baby Intelligence first. This, however, became to be her undoing, which was proven when Walters was able to trigger an explosion to end Rebecca's life. However, when not pitting herself against her enemies, Rebecca generally stopped projecting a cold and emotionless facade, often appearing to be relaxed and easygoing, enough so to annoy Annabeth Black at times. Rebecca has also shown concern for her allies. She is very kind to her friends, especially Bartholomew Gales, allowing him to confide in her.

Rebecca had considerable levels of superhuman strength. Her physical strength allowed her to overpower several robots and members of the Sword of Masculinity and bring down a basilisk by pulling rubble onto its head using her immense strength. Rebecca was also shown to be much more resistant to physical damage than the body of a human being. Rebecca was extensively trained by the NoHeads, and was shown to be a very accomplished duelist. As such, she held her own against Kenzie Walters and Baby Intelligence.

### **Red**

 File:Red.jpg
Red is the sister of Tigris and a member of the New Order. At some point in her childhood, her father wiped her memory, as he did not wish to be discovered. Red eventually came under the care of Matthew. Matthew would not give up on saving Red on several other occasions. After their first clash, he told her that he hadn’t doubted her, after she told him that she knew he would save her. Matthew’s desire to keep Red safe went beyond the battlefield into his teachings to her. Red was particularly talented in Kchendo. She learned Chimiki and Brosartt from Matthew.

Matthew loved Red dearly, going as far to spare the Devastator in 2215 with the sole intention of saving her. Matthew would also not give up on saving Red on several other occasions. After their first clash, he told her that he hadn’t doubted her, after she told him that she knew he would save her. Matthew’s desire to keep Red safe went beyond the battlefield into his teachings to her. Though she was skilled in Svarna, Matthew began teaching her Soresu and Brosartt, two powerful forms he was greatly skilled in. There is also much evidence to support that Matthew’s attachment of Red was as great as his attachment to Blue and his parents. Though Matthew was overly careful, Red’s presence seemed to soften this precaution. She appears in *D.I.T. One-Shot: Legacy of the Light*.

### **The Red Cavalier**

### **Red Mist**

"*This is what New York is now. From superhero vermin such as yourselves, Red Mist will have nothing but blood.*"
―Lamoni[src]

"*Stay where you are, or suffer as I see fit. Red Mist may have use for someone of your strength and beauty."
"Nice. We of the Mystic Specters approach Red Mist's quarters with glad tidings... of a dark world made a wee bit brighter."
"And who gave you permission to come here?"
"You're barking on the wrong side of the karma tree, Austin.*"
―Austin and Tori Newell[src]
Brie is the wealthy owner of the Red Mist Club while operating as the crime lord known as Red Mist. He is an ally to Rose Johannson, and the unseen overarching antagonist in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect*. Throughout the 2020s, Brie built a criminal empire for himself in the east, unifying crime families and keeping those under his sway out of jail. Brie had moles in the U.S. Government, who saw to it that a constitutional amendment was spearheaded to repeal the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Brie was apparently an admirer of President Robbie Evans, whom by repealing presidential term limits he had helped get elected to at least three terms as President of the United States. Around 2039, Brie came into contact with Rose Johannson, who managed to claw her way up to power using his increasing insecurities to her advantage, offering to do anything for him if he could help her target the U.S. Government and discredit the Band of Justice for putting her on their computers. Red Mist stepped in among his secret governmental contacts surrounding Evans and proceeded to destroy a crucial government airship, throwing public perception against the S.M.S.B., as many were left to suspect they were involved in the deaths and the destruction.

Under Rose's assistance, Red Mist drastically expanded his business until all of New York was ready to be plunged into anarchy. After Red Mist returned to Earth, his servant Messina traveled with his men to Beta Prison. After Messina ordered his men to storm the prison and free the prisoners, who were incarcerated allegedly wrongfully, Red Mist declared martial law and proclaimed that the city now belonged to the people, handing them the power of "justice" over the "corrupt" American elite that had "enslaved" them and failed to save them from the Melanization. Red Mist's speech subsequently caused a series of riots led by America's criminals and revolutionary working class members, who raided the homes of the wealthy and set-up a court presided by "Judge" Claude, where the rich were sentenced to choose between either death or exile through the crossing of a river of acid. Free to find a new path, and with no leaders telling them what to do, the people descended into anarchy while Red Mist watched gleefully. Eventually, Red Mist murdered Crystal by arranging for the house she was in to be nuked. Red Mist had apparently used his money to influence American politics as well as New York politics. More powerful than ever, he continued to await his time to rule while he observed America's self-destruction. In their fear, the U.S. Government was easily duped by two governors secretly working for Red Mist to spearhead a constitutional amendment to repeal three Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, somehow and indirectly leading to the Saturnian War being unresolved, indicating Red Mist's actions had affected the entire star system.

Red Mist was widely promoted as the "Why of Tomorrow". Still, by April of 2043, New York had become a center of crime, corruption, prostitution and gang warfare — which was not surprising really, since Rose also had control over the Police Department with the crime against humanity. Despite his great wealth and many female admirers, he was still fixated on courting Montoya.

When Red Mist realized that the Order of the Mystic Specters was leading a revolt around New York, he became enraged and mounted a defense, enlisting Austin as his primary bodyguard. However, when he left his quarters to secure the casino, he unwittingly locked him inside. Two stories below Red Mist's quarters, Austin confronted Troy Zonko and two specters backing them, noting that Red Mist would love to have someone like Newell under his control. Ultimately, Red Mist died when the specters slew Austin and came after him, making possible their victory and leading to the spectacular collapse of his criminal empire.

Red Mist was skinny and unattractive, looking simultaneously cross and sullen. He had heavy brows and a long, pallid face. He often dressed in red leather, which befitted his name. Stated by Master Intelligence to be an absolute sociopath and a homicidal narcissist, Red Mist typifies malevolence. He is also highly ambitious, power-hungry, sadistic, and emotionally unstable, being responsible for the murder of Crystal. With each breakthrough he made, Red Mist grew more reckless, but also more trusting, having no idea Rose was manipulating him as she wanted to achieve her own ends and didn't care if that meant Red Mist rising to power. When they made it to the top, Red Mist became vicious, corrupt and abusive like dictator who mistreated his own allies. He was also a longtime admirer of President Robbie Evans, an extremely controversial political figure. Still, while Red Mist was an immoral person, Rose was ultimately worse, often encouraging Red Mist to act on his darkest desires and do horrible things to further her goals, often misleading Red Mist to think their goals were common. In spite of being Rose's victim, he is still a remorseless and chaotically malevolent psychopath. Despite being a pawn of the Umbralord, it was revealed that Red Mist is more than capable of waging war against his enemies even without the demon's influence, confirming that even before Rose manipulated Red Mist into acting on his paranoia and the Umbralord came into the picture by suggesting a more intellectual approach to the revolution, Red Mist already hungered for power and destruction.

Red Mist was an intelligent individual, being described by someone as a "mastermind." He managed his nightclub while running his criminal organization from behind the scenes, even able to avoid the authorities with a lack of any evidence of his criminal activities, with his intellect mainly extending to his superb understanding of criminology, as well as his considerable tactical, strategic, and leadership skills. Brie was able to avoid the authorities with a lack of any evidence of his criminal deeds; even when he manipulated the repealing of the 22nd Amendment, it took over a decade to trace it back to him. Brie efficiently led his criminal organization both from behind the scenes and directly. Brie efficiently managed his businesses and his nightclub. Red Mist is highly skilled in infiltration, managing to easily get himself and his men employed by President Robbie Evans (in order to help frame Master Intelligence in an international incident) without the latter, ingenious as he was, ever suspecting his involvement.

Rose Johannson was Red Mist's right-hand woman, and he trusted her greatly to grant her control over the dwindling Police Department. It is unclear whether Red Mist knew the extent of Rose's sadistic and dark nature, but Rose was loyal to Red Mist only because of the power he was offering her, and felt no true attachments to the misguided man. He appears in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect*.

### **Patricia Reed**

Patricia Reed is a biologist and a close friend of the Walltalkers. Patricia went to the same elementary school as Janice Walltalker and the two became best friends, though in her childhood she knew Roy but they never became friends. At one point, Patricia and Janice rescued a group of children from several kidnappers. After getting her diploma, Patricia moved to Nebraska for unknown reasons. In 2020, Patricia provided shelter to Janice and Roy Walltalker, both of whom were now married. Janice believed that she may be able to aid them in their journey. That night, Patricia caught Reba Silo Walltalker and her robots watching her house from a distance. The next day, Patricia discussed the Walltalkers’ quest with her guests, and subsequently allowed them to spend several days at her home. In order to help them finish the quest safely, she also gave them supplies. Janice would later call Patricia and tell her they succeeded in their mission. In the years following this, Patricia became famous for her work as a biologist. At some point she took a husband and had a son named Saul. Before the Third NoHead War, Patricia passed away, and her son Saul eventually became a biologist as well.

Patricia went to the same elementary school as Janice Walltalker. Although Patricia initially thought Janice to be stuck-up and arrogant, the two of them quickly became the best of friends. She also knew Roy Walltalker, and was generally decent to him. She also won the field day contest in sixth grade, though her prideful, independent streak nearly prevented this. Seven years later, she attended BYU college in Provo. There, she defended Janice when even Roy doubted her, something Janice was willing to do for her, in any case. During their second semester, Janice engaged in a nasty row with Roy, which caused her to leave behind her possessions in the classroom. Patricia saw this and brought them to Janice, which she was very grateful for. At one point, Patricia and Janice realized a group of children would die, and took matters into their own hands. Although Patricia nearly died fighting off the responsible kidnappers, Janice intervened, saving her life. Together, they were able to get the children away safely. After getting her diploma, Patricia moved to Nebraska for unknown reasons.

In 2020, Patricia provided shelter to Janice and Roy Walltalker, both of whom were now married, to her surprise. When they came up across her home, Janice revealed that it is the home of her old friend, and that she may be able to aid them in their journey. That night, Reba and her robots watched Patricia’s house from a distance, hoping to find the Walltalkers, having previously learned of Roy’s mission. However, Reba’s scanners picked up nothing. After scanning the rest of the neighborhood, Reba left for home. Patricia, who was still awake, had witnessed this event with apprehension. The next day, Patricia discussed the Walltalkers’ quest with her guests. Roy revealed that he suspected Reba Silo was the mysterious thief who had stolen the wall. Already knowing Reba, Patricia expressed doubt that they will survive the encounter with the latter. She allowed them to spend the next few days at her house, and played with Janice whenever she could. In order to help them finish the quest safely, she also gave them food and a new set of clothes. After several days of rest, the Walltalkers continued their journey. Janice would later call Patricia and tell her they had finished their mission successfully. In the years following this, Patricia became a great biologist and was famous for her work. At some point she took a husband and had a son, who she named Saul. Before the Second NoHead War, Patricia passed away, and her son Saul eventually became a biologist as well.

Patricia Reed has black hair and fair, tough skin. She is also slender. She is usually seen in no-sleeve shirts. A woman of nature, Patricia is free-spirited, kind, and intelligent. She respects all life forms. She is very good at training animals, as she could teach a lion in the wild to speak, and has bragged about teaching a parrot to sing the lyrics to the band Muse’s “Uprising.” She keeps duck pastures and spends most of her spare time hiking, reading, and gardening. She is wise and mysterious, possessing a surprising amount of durability. She is fairly decent, as she allows the Walltalkers to stay at her home for a short while and even offers them sanctuary from Reba Silo. Patricia possessed an instinctual, intuitive intelligence that allowed her to make intellectual leaps. And although he was clever, Patricia lacked intellectual curiosity, rarely putting forth effort into school work, something he had in common with Roy Walltalker (although she did study to a reasonable extent for tests), and generally did her best work when tackling practical exams rather than theoretical ones. Patricia possessed a streak of pride and independence that almost cost her the victory on Field Day in sixth grade. Patricia was also known for wanting to tackle challenges and obstacles on her own, without the aid or interference of others. She would, however, work with her friends and accept their assistance occasionally. She also had a bit of an obsessive personality, though this trait was not to rival Roy Walltalker. She appears in *The Man Who Talked to the Wall*.

### **Rene**

Rene is a member of the High Council of Oltron, sitting on the light and being represented by the Lady. She possesses a powerful connection to the Gods and is ever ready to sacrifice herself if it ever became necessary to help her religion in that way. She worked with Gita to found the Band of Justice, but was slain in battle with the Resometh. She appears in *Band of Justice*.

### '*Selene Rensworth*

Selene Rensworth is a member of the Girl-Team and a veteran of the School War. She was locker partners with Zachary Brown, but only for a day. She claimed that both of her parents were in the United States Army. Hence, the family frequently moved around, meaning she had to go to several new schools. When the School War began in 2021, Rensworth swore allegiance to Emily Watson, fighting the Armies of Organa on multiple fronts. She was also seen chanting when Watson proposed the construction of the Boy Trap. After Watson's downfall in 2022, Rensworth switched sides and joined the Armies of Organa to help put an end to the Cavaliers of Thornton. She seemed to get over losing Watson very quickly. During the Second Battle of Tower Placement, Rensworth fought several Cavaliers on the balcony above the Bridge of the Earth, where the Cavalier's leader, Natalia Thornton, was dueling Vincent Organa. Upon killing the final Cavalier in the horde, Rensworth threw the corpse of her final victim on the fractured barrier below, breaking the wand of Thornton. Organa saluted Rensworth, who saluted him back. After the battle ended in the Boy-Team's favor, she and her parents subsequently moved to the east.

Upon returning to Utah and arriving in eleventh grade in 2028, Selene Rensworth was assigned as Zachary Brown's locker partner. Although Brown was originally upset that he could not choose his own partner, he quickly developed a huge crush on Rensworth when they met. As the day progressed, Rensworth met a boy named Jason, and the two fell in love at first sight. They went to lunch together, where Brown noticed them and they both deduced that Brown had a crush on Rensworth. Feeling threatened by this, Jason quickly requested that Rensworth become his locker partner in place of Brown, which Rensworth agreed with. Rensworth revealed this to Brown shortly afterward, at a rare point that day that she and her new best friend were not together. It is unknown how long Selene Rensworth and Jason remained locker partners for.

Selene Rensworth was very tall, slender, and curvy, standing at a height of 185 centimeters. She had brown hair and turquoise eyes. In 2028, she wore dark yet trendy facial makeup and a similarly describable scarlet sweater. Little is known about her, but Selene generally maintains a very calm demeanor due to growing up raised by military members. She frequently put herself in volatile positions during battles of the two School Wars, showing a cocky yet courageous side to her. She is also a polite and respectful person. Apparently she can make friends very quickly, in part due to her lovely visage and sense of self control. She appears in *Boys vs. Girls: The Coming Darkness*, *Boys vs. Girls 2*, and *D.I.T. One-Shot: A Lovely Pair of Eyes*.

### **Jacob Ricker**

"*After all, junior high kids are totally lame!*"
―Jacob Ricker to Zachary Brown, also his most infamous quote.[src]

"*I wasn't talking about you! I was talking about* these *losers!"
"They're* not *lame, and they're* not *losers! They're my friends!"
"Well, isn't that sweet? You can all be pathetic together!*"
―Jacob Ricker and Leven[src]
Jacob Ricker is a friend turned enemy of Zachary Brown. He attended middle school at Tower Placement School. He attempted to become Class President, but Helen McKeen surpassed him by two votes. He continued his education there into high school, at which point Ricker gathered to himself a posse of students and became known as the "cool kid" in Tower Placement. Eventually, Zachary Brown joined his posse and specifically took to hanging out with Ricker and Anthony, though he eventually realized that they did not consider him a true friend. Hence, he finally defected, creating an enemy in Ricker.

Throughout the first half of the book, Ricker made fun of Brown for a variety of things, such as hitting himself with a water bottle to calm himself. Ricker was also present at the first official performance of Engage the Krosse, which did not work out well. Afterwards, he taunted Brown and the other band members, saying that he expected some music, not comedy. Shortly afterwards, Ricker engaged in a brief relationship with Leven, who had a crush on Copper but had lost faith he liked her back, and was flattered by Ricker's attentions. Later on, Ricker learned that Tyler had become the Captain of the junior high team on Field Day. When he encountered Zachary Brown, he cited that he was preparing to be disappointed, in response to his claim that he enjoyed winning. Remembering that Tyler did not want her team to win, Ricker made a bet with Brown that middle school could not overcome high school in a single event. He then poked fun at Copper, calling him "Supreme Lump" attributing his ample weight, hoping to show to Brown, Copper, and their friends how middle schoolers were "totally lame". Copper's friend Izzy, who was enraged that he claimed Brown was not worthy of Summer Petersen's love, angrily told him to stop, in which he smugly questioned how they will enforce it. Leven intervened and demanded for Ricker to stop hurting Copper, and in the process, broke up with him. She ran away crying, leaving Ricker shocked and Copper confused. In preparation for Field Day, Ricker selected an athletic student named Rhett to run the three-legged race for his speed. Just before the event, Ricker and Brown discussed the terms of their bet: if Ricker won, Brown had to rejoin his posse; if Brown won, he got to humiliate Ricker in front of the entire school. Unfortunately for Ricker, he did not work well with Rhett during the race against Copper and Leven. Ricker believed Rhett was running too fast, while Rhett thought Ricker was too slow.

Jacob Ricker is highly condescending, vain, and rude, always finding sadistic pleasure in putting other students down. He called Copper "supreme lump" referencing his obesity, even though it was not only completely unprovoked, but they did not even know each other at all. He was extremely narcissistic, as he believed high schoolers were far superior to junior high students, making him unbelievably ageist and absolutist. He never forgave anyone for ending their friendship with him. When Zachary Brown left his posse, he frequently made him a target of humiliation. When Brown tried de-stressing by hitting himself with an empty plastic bottle, Ricker said that every infant required a bottle. When his band's performance became a flop, Ricker claimed he was expecting music, not comedy. Ricker often made hypocritical statements, especially when it came to what he was attracted to, as he incessantly claiming that junior high students were "totally lame", he was romantically attracted to an eighth grader named Leven. Despite making fun of Copper for being obese, he later claimed that Summer Petersen was "too good" for Zachary Brown, even though Petersen weighed almost 362 pounds at the time. Despite his shortcoming, he has eyes for the sweet and antisocial Leven, and appears to have genuine respect for his posse. Indeed, the posse seems to follow him out of admiration, not fear, making him different from Donavan Anderson and an untold number of Dark mutants. He appears in *Zachary Brown*.

### **Suzie Rockwell**

"*You don't have to do this, Suzie. Why does this much anger remain unchecked?"
"Because the first banana to grow ripe is also the first to either be mercilessly devoured by a human maw, or to rot of its own accord if left unchecked. We all are born and we live...and then we reach the end of our journey, some sooner than others. Only those of strength, of will, who are not prone to compassion or sentiment, survive."
"Maybe I should have treated you better."
"See what I mean? As long as I can't hurt you, you treat me like unwanted vermin."
"Well, what else can I say?"
"Oh, rack your brains, Walltalker, that shouldn't take more than a millennium.*"
―Reba Walltalker and Suzie Rockwell[src]
Susanna "Suzie" Rockwell is a female supervillain, and the primary antagonist in the 2013 sequel to *The Man Who Talked to the Wall.* She was born in 2013 to the somewhat wealthy Rockwell family. She was the only member of her family that did not require braces, surprising her family members. Her family was also decent to her. As a child, she wanted to become Reba Walltalker’s assistant, but Reba constantly rejected her. In a fit of rage, Suzie stopped idolizing Reba Walltalker and hated her for her actions. Eventually, Suzie Rockwell became aware that the Barriers of Qualogros were apparently draining away Mercury's power supply and that the U.S. Government, which wielded absolute power over Mercury's population, had offered nine billion dollars, a year's supply of chocolate, and residence in the Tower of Paradise, all in exchange for its destruction, which seemed absolutely impossible at the time. Seeing an opportunity for immeasurable profit, Suzie resolved to destroy the barriers and obtain the fame she had been denied in her childhood. To begin her quest, Suzie ran away from home and took up residence on a remote island, using many resources to build a comfortable outlet there surrounded by drones and a handful of friends from junior high.

Suzie Rockwell personally went and instructed her drones to kill the jail guards with toxic gas so they could have Alan Spall freed from prison. She departed in time to avoid breathing the toxic fumes. As the drones saw to it that Spall's death was faked, she made her way to her personal secret storage facility where they could talk in private. Once Spall was taken out of the van he had been taken in, Rockwell greeted him with a table filled with dinner and smiled upon his arrival, telling the drones to remove his handcuffs as a sign of friendship before inviting Spall to sit down with her and eat dinner. While Spall remained confused as to why he had now been brought there, Rockwell explained that her company was interested in his talents and that she was the woman he had seen ordering drones to gas the chambers. While Spall continued to try and comprehend why Rockwell had brought him there, Rockwell explained that upon exploring Spall's criminal records, she had become impressed and wanted his help in destroying a seemingly indestructible barrier in Mongolia. Spall showed he was interested as Rockwell explained to Spall that he had to build for her a prototype robot skillful enough to make the Barriers of Qualogros "just a memory". Spall agreed, although they agreed he needed a code name to ensure his cover was not blown. He chose 'Reno' and proceeded to agree to do all this for Rockwell as long as Rockwell arranged to ensure he always had cigarettes in easy reach to satisfy his addiction, something Rockwell agreed to do for him. She proceeded to tell him all about the Barriers of Qualogros. Pretending to be kind and innocent, Suzie and Reno forged alliances with numerous law enforcers to destroy the Barriers of Qualagros. During each attempt, she attempted to look as involved as possible while not actually doing any of the work, usually to astounding effect. One fatality was known to have occurred, in the superhero Trouble Eater, and presumably others did not survive either. Suzie eventually became famous for surviving so many attempts on the barriers, leading to more people forging alliances with her, but over the next decade, all of their attempts ended in failure and the Barriers of Qualogros remained untouched. In the meantime, she used her parents' off-shore accounts without their consent to grow a business on her island called Dirigible Industries and became a successful weapons designer. She planned to leave her loyal follower Jacob Bell in charge of her business until she returned from the Tower of Paradise.

Suzie Rockwell remembered Roy Walltalker, adopted father of Reba Walltalker, from a news website and deemed him an ideal pawn to destroy the Barriers of Qualogros, reasoning her adopted father could make up for her costing her fame as a small girl, and sent for him upon discovering his location. Roy, both eager to resume his police work and in need of money to support his family now that he is unemployed, accepted Suzie’s offer. When she greeted Roy aboard the *Soulless Three*, she told him she was over previous issues, and worked for the U.S. Government now having been personally employed to oversee attempts on the allegedly all-consuming barriers. She watched from a surveillance camera with Reno, as Roy succeeded in infiltrating the net leading to the barriers and using the nets to destroy the nets, surprising the vengeful villainess. However, he was unable to break the barrier despite this. She joined Roy at dinner that night, explaining away her “superior’s” absence as him liking anonymity, and explaining that she’s drawn to him due to an attraction to power (though in reality, Reno was her situational ally, not her master). The dinner was interrupted by the ghost of an angry superhero named Trouble Eater come to avenge his death. Roy and Suzie brilliantly repelled him by testing the potency of Roy's mutated test tube with Suzie's serum, and they successfully repelled Trouble Eater. However, minutes later Jeremiah Soule and Bryce Yearsley entered the room, having been possessed by Trouble Eater in advance. After a brief but violent skirmish, the reinforcements were subdued, and Suzie modified their memories to throw them off balance. Roy and Suzie stayed in the base for two days afterwards. While they were there, Reno told them that the guards at the base were safe, though Suzie was disconcerted when Roy nearly recognized him as Alan Spall and claimed he was dead as most people had been led to believe. Afterwards, Roy returned home and Suzie returned to her affairs, contemplating the destruction of the nets and using details from a security recording to make the next one. When Roy returned to Dirigible Island, the robot defeated Roy and Reno revealed the truth to him, at which point the hero sneaked into the inner levels and infiltrated her computer and discovered elements of Suzie Rockwell’s plot. Unfortunately, due to a tracking device, Roy was caught and held in a high-security trap and torture device. When Suzie learned that an aircraft was coming to the island, she assumed her prisoner had sent reinforcements. When Roy denied any involvement, she sent missiles to destroy the plane, not knowing that it was in fact the Walltalker family. Even though the missiles hit their mark, the family survived and swam to the island. There, Janice Walltalker was able to break Roy out of Suzie’s prison. Meanwhile, Rockwell launched a rocket carrying the highly capable Basketball 10000 to the Siberian Great Taiga Wilderness to wreck it, using an artificial cave as the exhaust tube for the rocket.

While sitting out on the balcony sipping lemonade and enjoying the delights of her island's natural landscape one last time, Suzie Rockwell was contacted by Reno, who cordially asked what she was doing. When she truthfully answered him, he told her their deal was off and he was shutting down the Basketball prototype. Enraged at this breach of trust, Suzie hung up on him, only to realize he was standing just behind the door. As two drones descended on the scene, Suzie ordered them to relieve Reno of the remote he was holding, as well as his cigarette box and his prized scarf he allegedly won in a contest, to demonstrate how it felt to have one's things stolen from them by those they trust, all while Reno remained calm and silent as Rockwell yelled. Having made him suitably uncomfortable, Rockwell told Reno that she was now heading to Utah to initiate her plans regardless of her interference, Reno called her a blithering pillock. Suzie just yelled again about her brains were "ten times" what his were and claimed he talked too much. She then said she would see him in hell, but he insisted she call him Alan Spall, not 'Reno'. Suzie then confidently left Alan with her guards to watch over him, leaving for Utah.

However, when she arrived to ensure the robot's success in destroying the barrier, the Basketball began drilling into the barrier, and within moments had dented it, something none of Suzie Rockwell's pawns had accomplished. Before it could finish, however, it was confronted by Reba Silo Walltalker who was watching the conflict. Not recognizing Reba, Suzie questioned how long she had been onto her. Reba refused to respond, but Suzie, briefly calling off the prototype, furiously confessed that she knew the barriers were not truly harming Mercury's power supply and they were essential to the welfare of all in Mongolia since an incident the PROM (Program for the Relocation of Mutants) had tried to cover up. As Reba admonished her for her selfishness, Suzie laughed as she noted that Reba was unarmed and ordered the Basketball to destroy her, not wanting any witnesses to the true purpose of the barriers. While Reba was attempting to escape from the Basketball, Suzie attempted to escape. However, Roy and Janice Walltalker had just arrived and Janice managed to shoot her out of the sky. Suzie's helicopter smashed into a building and she was knocked unconscious. She remained unconscious during the Walltalkers’ battle and woke just as the robot was defeated spectacularly; destroying her plans of glory and infuriating her. Binoculars, who had recorded the confrontation between Suzie and Reba, played back his favorite part to reveal Rockwell's confession to President Mandy Jinks as well as a group of governors as Rockwell watched in bewilderment.

Her plans of glory thwarted, Suzie Rockwell boarded her manta jet and flew to Utah, not knowing Reno had stowed away on her jet just before the journey. She intended to break in and kidnap the Walltalkers' baby, Jackson, who she herself had just rendered into an orphan. When she arrived, she was alarmed to learn that Reno was there and dueling Roy's robot E-1 with another robot, designated as E-2. Goaded beyond endurance, she took Jackson in her arms, sadistically citing she would take good care of him. Reno became distracted by this as Suzie rushed over and tried to wrestle control of E-2 by hitting Reno with a tranquilizer dart, only for him to remain conscious, much to her shock and disappointment. A determined Roy, motivated by his family's encouragement, managed to slowly overpower E-2 as an infuriated Rockwell attempted to control the machine as a staggered Reno tried to stop her. A series of sparks fell on a defenseless Rockwell followed by the head of E-1, crushing both her and Reno and sending explosions of sparks hurtling into the air, completely incinerating the platform he had been sitting on. This resulted in her death, ending her reign of terror on the Walltalkers and avenging the other warriors she killed. In the aftermath of Suzie Rockwell's demise, Dirigible Industries released an official announcement distancing themselves from her and her actions. The company further stated that global operations would be suspended temporarily.

Suzie Rockwell had a lot of bushy light brown hair, sparkling blue eyes, and a bossy sort of voice that would become slightly shrill when she was angered. Suzie usually dressed in clothes that suited the occasion as well as her status, for example wearing a red dress to dinner and a leather jacket to work. She generally wore her pink, bright work suit. Otherwise, she dressed casually. She was also the only member in her family who did not need braces. During the dinner with Roy Walltalker, Suzie put in effort to look her best: her hair was sleek and shiny, and she wore a floaty, red dress that didn’t entirely cover her midriff, with matching high heels. On most occasions, Suzie kept her hair long, and sometimes tied it back in a plait. As a little girl, the child who would become evil aspired to become an aide, partly out of a desire to help other people and partly to become famous. This goal led her to beg Reba Walltalker to hire her. Sadly, after Reba categorically refused to grant Suzie’s favor, Suzie returned home in disgrace and rejected the righteous path. Becoming embittered and despising compassion and sentiment in any form, Suzie began engaging in legally dubious activities to ensure victory over Walltalker, even breaking the terrorist Alan Spall out of prison and getting him to assist Suzie. The adult Suzie was a bitter, self-centered businesswoman. Whilst overconfident, Suzie was actually a technical genius, and even at an early age could create wondrous gadgets. After her dismissal at the hands of Reba Walltalker, the young woman turned her gifts towards evil, eventually murdering dozens of law enforcement personnel by leading them to their own inevitable failures or deaths, which also went to show just how manipulative she was. Suzie was solely focused only on her own "mission" of destroying the Barriers of Qualogros, not out of altruism, to gain access to a gargantuan amount of money, sweets, and other materialistic pleasures. Although she appears sane, she is a classical sociopath, caring not at all for the lives of the people of Mongolia and keeping the truth about the barriers a closely hoarded secret to prevent her plan from backfiring. Her lack of concern for the millions of lives she planned on ending made her a truly self-centered woman who cares for absolutely no one, not even Reno. Aside from being bitter and sociopathic, Suzie was intensely sadistic, shown by how she taunted Mr. Walltalker with his family’s supposed death, and a second time when she gloated to the family on how she would steal away Jackson and use him to replace Alan Spall in a last-ditch attempt to spite Roy. Despite this, Suzie was capable of caring for a few people, namely her friends from junior high whom she sheltered and had a friendly relationship with, and had a shockingly tender demeanor which appealed to several people she worked with, though this is all a façade to make her mission possible. Indeed, Suzie was willing to endure repeated insults to herself and her company for a period of time for the greater good of matters, as she did with Reno. However, when pushed to the edge, Suzie could undergo furious, almost temper-traumatic rants against an individual who wronged her. While Reno is Suzie's partner in crime, he is more compassionate and well-mannered than Suzie and had more firm reasons for his actions as he was trying to save his country as he figured it was either his homeland or Mongolia, while Suzie was doing it purely for personal gain and enjoyment, and also for her hatred and grudge against Reba Walltalker. She has no concept of forgiveness and compassion, as stated by Janice. A sedentary woman, Suzie despised physical labor and combat, preferring to leave such duties to her allies or her drones. She had absolutely no problem with sending numerous beings of power after the Barriers of Qualogros, while doing as little work as possible to keep herself out of harm's way while watching her pawns fail her and die from a comfortable location. Suzie also spent most of her time in her bedroom, either resting, doing sedentary leisure activities, or hanging out with several men she allowed to enjoy her company, implying she is sexually active. She was used to having her drones do her physical tasks for her, making her a truly pretentious and sedentary individual.

Despite not being physically strong, Suzie Rockwell’s high intellect made her a fierce opponent. However, Rockwell proved to be outmatched in this position as Reno crossed her and ultimately got Rockwell killed. Suzie was an exceptionally skillful and cunning manipulator. Without breaking much of a sweat, she was able to easily and effectively manipulate other powerful beings, such as Trouble Eater and even Roy Walltalker himself, into doing her bidding. Her manipulation ultimately caused the Attack on the Barriers of Qualogros. Suzie had hoped to use Alan Spall to create a powerful prototype for Dirigible Industries when she saw the business opportunities that his abilities provided. She is the main antagonist in *The Woman Who Talked to the Hand* and a posthumous villainess in *Band of Justice: Omniverse*.

### **Rodena**

Rodena is a nobleman and a major character in *Convergence*. Rodena was born somewhere in Makka sometime before 1945. Thanks to the ruler of the planet, Rodena's life was extremely difficult. Eventually, the Emperor made him a servant at his Palace. Rodena was quickly promoted to the rank of guard.

In 1946, Rodena was present in the throne room when the Emperor received a visit from young human Lily Clark, who had teleported to Planet 12 by accident and convinced Bemb to take her to him. Upon entering the throne room, Rodena joined the guards that surrounded Lily, though he was pointing his weapon precariously towards the King. Seeing this, Lily cleverly pulled out a feather and held it up behind him, pretending to put her arm around him affectionately. Rodena was initially confused by her seemingly affectionate gesture, but then he sneezed, just as Lily predicted. The sneeze caused Rodena's hand to lurch forward, pushing the trigger and shooting the Emperor squarely in the heart. Looking ahead, Rodena immediately cheered. Like everyone else, he was ecstatic at the end of his oppression, and held Lily in high regard for her feint. Charlien then appointed Lily as their holdout ruler, and when Lily prepared to seat herself, Bemb attempted to tell her how her felt, but ended up stuttering out a reference to her wit. Although Bemb was disappointed in his failure, he chose to follow her on Charlien's suggestion. He approached her throne and spoke to her, somewhat nervously. As Rodena realized what he is trying to say, he motioned to Lily, who then invited Bemb to sit by her at the following feast that night. Bemb also participated in Lily's tests. Rodena realized that Bemb was hitting on her, and motioned to Lily. Lily, who finally realized what was going on, was able to silence Bemb's fears. Rodena and Bemb sat on either side of Lily during a massive banquet that followed, and during the event, he was honored by Lily for his work. The day after the feast, Rodena assisted in testing Lily, and her dictatorship over the planet became official.

Calm and composed, Rodena was a sharp and clear-eyed guard, being able to quickly deduce that Bemb was hitting on Lily. Rodena can move things with his mind, as he used it to impress Lily by levitating a drumstick to her plate.

### **Dante Rolf**

"*Power traitors are far worse than Neurodivergents in my book.*"
―Dante Rolf[src]
Dante Rolf was a neurotypical mutant who was a friend of Bethany Donner and was a member of Bethany Donner's gang. He was the second member to join her posse, apart from Antonio McSnake, whom he "likes… to some degree". He was in Class A. Rolf was present for the evacuation of Superhero University preceding the Battle of Superhero University, and left the school along with the other members of Donner's gang, rather than choosing to fight the Imperial Army. However, Rolf would return to Superhero University, fighting against the school alongside NoHead forces, as did the majority of Bethany's posse. A young man with light brown hair, Dante Rolf was a neurotypical extremist, using his status in order to assert his dominance over other students. He was also known to despise power traitors more than he did Neurodivergents.

### **Al Rooker**

"*I know how it feels."
"How what feels, lovely?"
"To be alone. And then to learn the Resometh are real, and to learn this means we don't have to be alone anymore.*"
―Wanda and Al Rooker[src]
Al Rooker was an extremely unscrupulous mutant who was involved in many illegal activities, having a notoriously disreputable reputation as a petty criminal. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Al Rooker sold hoax items to the panicking masses. Fourteen years later, he came to Proxima for a fresh start, working as a dealer in the black market alongside his bodyguard Moon, whom he deluded himself into thinking had a crush on him. During one of his business ordeals, he acquired St. Peter's Relic. He was attacked and the relic got stolen from him by the attacker. Having had dealings with a Voltrist named Valhalla in the past, he was visited by her in the early autumn of 2034. She wanted to know where an old friend was, but his perverse comments regarding her sexuality infuriated her and she left with Vincent Organa, who had no desire to watch her pick a fight with Moon. While Jay Organa was investigating Cynicism Park with Valhalla, the Lady managed to capture Al. She tied him up in an inn, where she and Jay investigated him about St. Peter's Relic.

Al agreed to help the forerunners of the Band of Justice after Scarlet Fist helped him out of "a colossally sticky mess" and he came to reluctantly respect her, although his behavior around her going forward would frequently imply a sycophant. He was disliked and mistrusted by most of the other aspiring members due his very poor reputation as a criminal, but was fiercely loyal to Scarlet Fist. His acquaintances in the figurative underworld proved to be quite useful in gaining information for their primary benefactor, Rene. Later, Al was approached by Genesis and Wanda. Al, however, did not identify the primordial entity, and after stating this he asked if he had any money. Denying this, Genesis demanded him for help. Al then pulled a gun on Genesis, but Genesis smashed it with the Eye of Remembrance and convinced him and Moon to join his cause, hoping Moon would bear false testimony against the Band of Justice and the Martian population as a whole. After Wanda placed her hands on his, she told him he didn't have to be alone anymore for the same reason she didn't, making him strongly consider Genesis' words. Ultimately, he did not fight in the Battle of Solis Lacus, and he survived the war and returned to his affairs as a disliked dealer of artifacts. Sometime later, he learned that the Resometh had killed Scarlet Fist. Enraged, he agreed to work with the Band of Justice again, in spite of none of them trusting him at all.

Tan-skinned, with dark eyes, Al's hands were quite grubby, and he was noted to have a particularly strong bodily odor of alcohol. He was a petty and unscrupulous criminal, specializing in committing petty crimes to make as much profit as he could. His mind was based solely on money and materialistic pleasures and he would do anything in his power to obtain them, although this also enhanced his skills in his business and trade, which he valued. He always took valuable things from wherever he went. So extreme was his greed and sole interest in money, that he pulled a gun on Genesis when he said that he didn't have any money. He refused to fight in the Battle of Solis Lacus and subsequently, he survived the war and continued his work as an disreputable artifact dealer. However, Al appeared to be braver than people such as Rose Johannson or Whammo Fireball. Though he had a tendency to flee when the situation seemed grim, he never actually made mortal enemies of his allies. Also, his crimes mainly included stealing and robbing, never harming or killing others, meaning he was capable of compassion and decency. He was capable of loyalty and repaying debts, if only to Scarlet Fist, although he sadly turned on her when the Syndicate deceived him, eventually turning on them to join the Resometh, with Wanda using her own feminine charm to coax him into agreeing to their proposal.

A sexual predator, Al made very distasteful comments towards someone as young as Valhalla and deluded himself that Moon had a crush on him. He was also very taken with Wanda, who was not much older than Valhalla at all. However, he never expressed any perversion towards Scarlet Fist. Although he was once defeated by an assassin working for a dangerous cabal, and was unwilling to contend with the likes of the Lady, Al was entrusted by Scarlet Fist to watch over Flubberdubber. He appears in *Band of Justice* and *Band of Justice: Omniverse*.

### **Preston Rumsworth**

"'*Cuz sit-ups are totally going to help us against Emily Watson... are you actually as dumb as you look?*"
―Preston's condescending nature[src]
Preston Rumsworth is a member of the Armies of Organa until he defected in 2022 and a minor character in the *Boys vs. Girls* trilogy. Charles Hugh disliked him almost as soon as they met, due to his disloyalty to the Boy-Team and to Tower Placement. When he was in sixth grade, he came to know a student named Valiera Nelson, who he was intimidated by. Vincent Organa eventually regretted inviting him, as he was annoyingly and constantly skeptical. He did not stop his continuous criticism at the first Boys' Secret Meeting he attended until Matt threatened him. Rumsworth was also openly critical of Steven Thompson's leadership abilities. He also spoke with Charles early in 2022. Preston Rumsworth played a small role in the war against Natalia Thornton. On September 22, he went fishing with Adam Whitman. Much later, he was spotted in the cafeteria with Valiera Nelson, a couple of months before her departure.

Preston Rumsworth seems to generally be a rather unpleasant person and was seen as overly critical of Steven Thompson in the Armies of Organa and pushy and insensitive in questioning Barbara. He was obnoxious, condescending, pessimistic and a hypocritical ingrate. He didn't see flaws in himself, and was constantly openly insulting people or pointing out exaggerated facts or opinions about said people. The main reason he joined the Armies of Organa was curiosity.

Preston Rumsworth got along with Adam Whitman, who considered him a good friend (which is good coming from Preston, since he barely got along with anyone). The two went fishing and made plans beforehand, similar to Charles Hugh and Luke Norris). Valiera Nelson was a member of the Girl-Team who seemed to have had dealings with Preston in sixth grade, as he claimed to have known her there and he found her to be an intimidating person. He once told Steven that Valiera was not to be messed with, showing a lack of surprise when Valiera smashed a boy's face into the wall. Despite this, the two have curiously been seen together in the cafeteria, so it would seem they might get along better than they pretend to. Preston was pushy and insensitive towards Barbara, who probably disliked him. Matt disliked Preston because of his overly critical nature and went so far as to threaten his life if he did not stop berating Steven Thompson.

### **Runihura and Deidamia**

Runihura and Deidamia are siblings and members of the NoHeads. Together, they fought in the First NoHead War. After the fall of the major dictatorships, Runihura taught History with the thinking that Fobbles are lesser than mutants, and taught the neurotypical-philosophy as well; while Deidamia was made Defensive Arts teacher, which for all intents and purposes simply became “Darkness” and the two Vice Principals. They liked to punish and torture the students who opposed them. After the Battle of Superhero University and the end of the NoHead Empire, brother and sister were sent to Beta Prison for their crimes under Donald Trump’s de-corrupted government. Runihura and Deidamia were both born sometime prior to 1988 and attended Superhero School. Together, they fought in the First NoHead War in support of Mr. Stupid NoHead. After the fall of the major dictatorships in 2004, Runihura taught History with the thinking that Fobbles are lesser than mutants, and taught the neurotypical-philosophy as well. Meanwhile, Deidamia was made Defensive Arts teacher, which for all intents and purposes was now simply “Darkness” and the two Vice Principals under the oppressive Meryll Orbach. They liked to punish and torture the students who opposed them. After the Battle of Superhero University and the end of the NoHead Empire, brother and sister were sent to Beta Prison for their crimes under Donald Trump’s de-corrupted government.

Runihura and Deidamia were sadists who enjoyed punishing and torturing students or just children in general, ordering them to perform different means of electrocution on students given detention. Runihura had strong pro-mutant beliefs (specifically the belief in mutant superiority), as he taught that power traitors, non-neurotypicals, and Fobbles were lesser than mutants. He was also a coward, as he planned to blame the students for allegedly forcing Deidamia to press her NoHead Sign so that they would be punished by Mr. Stupid NoHead instead of himself and his sister. He was also arrogant as he demanded that Butterfield would support him. He was rude and offensive, banging hard on the door to the Dark Tower when he failed to solve the riddle to open it, putting his face close to Miranda to command her support and ended up spitting in her face. He was also hot-tempered, responding with violence without warning. Deidamia was not wise, but she was seemingly more bright than her brother Runihura. Runihura and Deidamia had mastered the Darkness as they were high-ranking NoHeads. They could cast lightning effectively and, apparently, the Death beam and could summon Igniferno. The two siblings gained nasty reputations within Sol, particularly during their stint as joint Vice Principals at Superhero University, as they severely punished students for any rule-breaking within the school. Deidamia was able to summon the NoHead Sign, having it branded on her forearm like most NoHeads. She used this same mark to summon Mr. Stupid NoHead when she found Sheriff Bladepoint in the basement of the Dark Tower. She was skilled enough to teach students in Dark powers and was placed as a teacher of the Darkness class. Deidamia showed particular skill in utilizing lightning, as she used it as a common form of punishment during her time as a teacher at Superhero University. Runihura and Deidamia were professors at Superhero University, of whose teachings conformed to the Imperial propaganda that Fobbles are filthy, stupid and like animals that have violently forced mutants into hiding and that the natural order of things was being restored with mutants having supreme dominance over all non-mutates. Most of the students likely ignored his anti-Fobble teachings and some such as Roan Kendels verbally opposed them, however these students would find themselves being severely punished if they did. However, Deidamia’s skill in teaching is most definitely questionable, although she was able to teach students how to perform complex dark powers such as summoning an Igniferno, she neglected to inform them of how to end the flames. Although, Cherical was able to successfully summon Igniferno, he could neither control or stop the flames and as a result fell victim to his own flames. If Deidamia had been thorough enough in her teachings of the superpower, things may have turned out quite differently. This would also mean that Deidamia was inadvertently responsible for the death of Charity Hirz in hindsight. They appear in *Red Cavalier* and *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Mae*.

### **Rupert**

Rupert is a journalist who headed down to Cara Mota's Mansion to interview the primary resident for fifteen minutes. He talked to her about the emergence of superhuman forces such as the Dinobot Invasion, and Cara spoke to him of her global interests, which she subtly implied had been hindered by the Department of State.

### **Jarrett Ruth**

"*You mean, you* don't *revel in the agony of your students?"
"Of course not. Failure is the last thing I want to see. As a teacher, I am delighted when my students are successful. Why do you think I work you so hard? When students have potential, I strive to help them reach it. Good luck.*"
―Steven Thompson and Mr. Ruth[src]

"*If it looks like a bobcat, and drools like a bobcat, and smells like a bobcat, it's probably a bobcat and you should start running before it murders you.*"
―Mr. Ruth[src]
Jarett Ruth is a schoolteacher at Tower Placement School during the School War in 2022. He was highly skillful in a wide variety of disciplines, which he efficiently taught courses such subjects to students at the school and demanded a high level of performance, and also oversaw extracurricular activities. Jarett Ruth was born early in 1968 and attended Tower Placement School in his youth. After graduating, he eventually began teaching at his former school. Like Zambaux, he had the ability to keep a class quiet without effort. He soon became one of Zambaux's most reliable allies. Ruth’s personality was somewhat cruel and sarcastic at times and Steven Thompson came to believe that he had it in for him, even before classes officially started. Jarett Ruth almost constantly exuded magnanimity and sternness, being held in either great respect or great fear (depending on which student is speaking of him) by nearly all school alumni. Used to having his way, he tolerated neither audacity nor silliness from his pupils and was known to turn cold towards people who said or did things in front of him that were stupid, or if he thought they were trying to be funny. He was a man who rarely smiled or gave compliments freely. He wasn't afraid to speak his mind and showed quite a sharp tongue, especially during arguments. For the most part, though, Mr. Ruth usually maintained great emotional composure, without being indifferent. In spite of his vindictive demeanor, Ruth was an immensely brave man and this made him one of Zambaux’s most reliable allies. He appears in *Boys vs. Girls: The Coming Darkness*, *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent*, and *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*, and is mentioned in *Boys vs. Girls 2 Prelude*.

### **Sakawan**

Sakawan joined Mr. Stupid NoHead in 2029 or earlier but after 2023, fighting for the Dark Lord in the Second NoHead War. He also was known to have met Dynamo at some point before the latter succeeded Lewis as Sheriff. Because he was the oldest living descendant of Helga Sakawan, Sakawan acquired his ancestor’s vast wealth after she died in 2038. However, he used it only to further the Apostle cause, as he considered care for riches a weakness. Sakawan was alert for the return of the NoHeads and that is when he joined the Apostles. He stormed into the Town Hall after realizing the governor was there, ordering a surrender. Suspecting an attack from the Apostles, Sheriff Dynamo listened to the governor's steadfast refusal, and Dynamo taunted him, saying he looked better with his hair. Sakawan left, warning that they would be sorry. He proceeded to destroy a tower. Sakawan's final engagement was during the Battle of Bast Castle. Despite facing off against both Hardy and Ironside, Sakawan was able to hold his own and eventually gain the upper hand over both adolescents. However, Destiny interfered and yanked his weapon out of his hand, which Hardy seized before it even hit the ground. He proceeded to ram it into Sakawan's breast. Sakawan stared in disbelief at the blade protruding from his chest for a moment, and then he collapsed.

Sakawan was a cruel and pragmatic man who believed himself superior to Fobbles, as well as a dangerous fighter. He would attack and slaughter anyone that tried to distract him without any hesitation. Like Annabeth Black and Cassidy, he was completely committed to the NoHead cause. This starkly contrasted many followers such as Willie or Mira who were less driven by allegiance to the NoHeads than simply by their yearning to achieve their own ends. Sakawan hated the S.M.S.B., as he believed they represented the greatest threat to the prosperity the NoHeads sought. He poured into the image of the S.M.S.B. his hatred over the decayed government and fear over the atmosphere of uncertainty surrounding the war. He later claimed he was always alert for the return of the NoHeads. A practical man, Sakawan found no value in wealth or other material possessions, believing that the worth of an object was directly correlated to its usefulness. He even believed that fellow followers of the NoHeads like Helga were foolish to care so much for such things. Upon his acquisition of Helga’s vast wealth, he used it only to further the NoHead cause. Sakawan was a formidable duelist, capable of holding his own against Hardy and Ironside simultaneously, though his undoing was his blind spot, which Destiny managed to penetrate.

### **Sammy Salaraga**

"*She's a* bad *court jester!*"
―A female member of the Warrior Guild, regarding Sammy Salaraga’s manners[src]

"*If you value that girl's life, you should tell her to never again do that in my presence.*"
―Xydarone IV to Zira Miranda Grover, regarding Sammy Salaraga’s manners[src]
Samantha "Sammy" Salaraga is a young woman employed as a court jester for the Magistrate, having became something of a fixture in the Magistrate’s court, teasing, mocking and cackling at practically anyone and everyone who visited the palace. She sat at the base of Zira’s throne, sleeping, eating, and mingling when there was nothing to be made fun of. Zira was very fond of the woman, though most others were not; Blake longed to disintegrate him, while two of Zira’s most senior subordinates — Epher Vos and Jim Newman — sought to end her life. Salaraga, however, had survived any attempts to end her life, and by 2022, she had retained her position as court jester. She was alongside Zira when Xydarone IV, a young female bounty hunter, came to the citadel hoping to gain exclusive bounty rights to Helen McKeen, a teenager who owed Zira a large sum of money. It was one of the rare occasions that Salaraga did not attempt to ridicule a guest, though he watched on with interest from Zira’s throne. Although Salaraga spent the majority of her time lounging alongside Zira, she sometimes wandered from there, playing tricks on any guests of Zira’s. She also spent time with Zira’s band, perched behind the musician named Maz Rena; Sammy liked to dance to the music produced by the band. When Zira had unwanted or unwelcome guests, Salaraga served to intimidate them by malevolently repeating any of Zira’s threats. This also made her very unpopular among outsiders.

Sometime during her stay in Zira’s palace, Salaraga greeted Melvin Betanco, a professor, who was visiting Zira’s Palace in order to get an audience with the dictator, with plans to write a report on Zira. Betanco was to rendezvous with Brian Glickstein, a spy of Lady Valarie — Zira’s largest on-world rival and competitor — who had promised to get him an interview with Zira. In truth, Glickstein had been killed, though Betanco was unaware of this; Salaraga took advantage of the professor’s ignorance. Salaraga played on Betanco’s assumption that he was indeed Valarie’s contact, laughing at him and attempting to frighten him, to the extent that the professor had almost fired at him when he first emerged from the shadows of one of the palace’s corridors. However, he did not shoot the court jester, who led him to a dark chamber off the corridor, where Betanco hoped to speak in private with who he erroneously thought was his contact. Though he was initially repulsed by the man, Betanco began to build trust in Salaraga, who was listening to the man’s every words, occasionally offering a repetition of the professor’s words. Betanco misconstrued this as a sign of Salaraga’s agreement with his statements, further indicating that the jester was trustworthy.

When Salaraga learned that the visitor’s true contact had guaranteed a meeting with Zira, she offered to Betanco to do so, knowing that the results would most likely be spectacularly entertaining. However, Salaraga’s increasingly common explosions of laughter and screams were beginning to trouble Melvin, and his previous sense of trust was quickly diminishing. When his supposed guide told him that a creature named Sammy Salaraga had ended the life of another professor — Betanco’s superior, Peltan — Melvin Betanco attempted to back out of the deal, though the prospect of authoring a report of the international dictator was too inviting for him to turn down, so he continued following the court jester. When they reached Zira’s palace, Betanco naïvely announced his name and title, and what he wished to conduct with Zira. As Salaraga had expected, the Magistrate, who was already speaking with a group of admirers, refused. Furious at yet another academic having entered her court, Zira scorned Salaraga, calling him by name. Betanco instantly realized he had been tricked, and that his fate would likely mirror that of Peltan. With Betanco surrounded by guards, Salaraga began to laugh at him, telling him that it was he who had assumed Salaraga was Brian Glickstein, and telling the Magistrate that the professor had insulted her. Betanco still had his gun hidden away, however, and grabbed ahold of Sammy’s throat, sticking the barrel of the weapon forcefully into the woman’s nose. Suddenly, however, Zira had a change of mind, and agreed to answer Betanco’s questions. Salaraga watched, perplexed, as the professor’s datapad filled to the brink; with the interview over, Betanco thanked Zira and prepared to depart.

The dictator, however, had grown tired of Salaraga’s antics, and this was the second occasion that she had brought academics into the palace in an attempt to amuse the dictator. Zira asked but one thing of Melvin Betanco: to make her laugh. When he failed, Betanco was locked in a dank chamber while Torin X was pitted against several Nortorans, though Salaraga had yet to earn her pay by making Zira laugh for that day. She did so by joking on a phrase the late professor had mentioned earlier, “publish or perish.” Zira was amused, and allowed Sammy to continue to act as court jester.

Sammy was also known for her lack of respect, to the extent that Xydarone IV threatened his life for laughing obscenely at her. According to Melvin Betanco, Sammy was not very intelligent, although she did eventually wind up outsmarting Betanco. Although he often snuggled up with Zira as a condescending gesture, she was also celibate and had never expressed sexual desire for anyone in her life. She appears in *Boys vs. Girls 2*, D.I.T. One-Shots, and *League of Red Stars*.

### **Augustus Salt**

 File:Augustussalt.png

"*Is it you, Augustus?"
"Yes. Pleased to see me, Hayden?"
"No, I cannot say that I am... Am I to take it that you are attacking in the open now? This is most unusual...*"
―Augustus Salt and Hayden at the Clock Tower in 2005[src]
Augustus Salt is a former mercenary for the NoHeads and a Knight of Plague under the Gladiator. Salt fought in the Attack on Superhero School, during which he expressed an eagerness to infect the children of Superhero School and left Saul Cameron badly scarred. Although considered to be a Knight of Plague, Salt was shown more disrespect than most, yet he continued to work as the Gladiator's weapon, having received even less respect from the relatively high-class NoHeads.

Augustus Salt claimed to have been chosen to be rebuilt and have portions of his body replaced with cybernetics. As a monster car surgically attached to human appendages, he found a taste in human flesh at a young age. In the 2000s, Augustus Salt came to Mr. Stupid NoHead's side. He was used as a weapon by the Dark Lord, who would often use the man to intimidate individuals to do his bidding, threatening to send Salt to attack their children. He would also recruit more mutants to serve the NoHeads. Salt, along with several NoHeads, invaded Superhero School on June 1, 2005, cornering Hayden atop the Clock Tower, much to Bethany Donner's shock and Hayden's disgust. He asked Hayden if he was pleased to see him, to which Hayden admitted he, in fact, wasn't. He was among those who urged Bethany Donner to kill the Principal and attempted to take over the job himself, before Adyna Dukakis stepped in. During the subsequent battle against members of the Police Grand Army, Salt assaulted Saul Cameron, scarring his face. Salt also tried to eat Sheriff Bladepoint during the battle, but Bladepoint retaliated with telekinesis.

In 2029, during the Second NoHead War, a well-known singer was captured by War Robots. Augustus Salt caught him escaping, and personally murdered him. A celebrity named Rocken Role worked with the other members of the band the singer worked with. The results of their collaboration was a live performance and a new single, “Drink and Rob”, whose earnings were used to investigate the individual’s murder along with Sheriff Bladepoint and Darren Slade. In September of the same year, Slade brought Augustus Salt to trial and convicted, and the case was solved. He was thus confined in Beta Prison.

After the Knights of Plague began recruiting mutants to help them overthrow the government, Salt became one of them. Not only did he believe in the Gladiator's cause, but he knew he would receive greater access to victims. Although considered to be a Knight of Plague, Salt was shown more disrespect than most, yet he continued to work as the Gladiator's weapon. The Gladiator may have recruited him because while he considered Salt a minority, the latter was too valuable of an accomplice not to have in his ranks. Despite being disrespected by most, he was respected, or at least accepted, by Nolan Giles. By the summer of 2051, Salt and many other mutant criminals escaped from Beta Prison, and returned to service with the warlord. The Gladiator had made his retaken home their headquarters. Salt was sent to "assist" Becca Smith, though Smith treated him like a servant. She forced him to clean the Manor and serve food to the Gladiator's guests, while refusing to let him in on their meetings. Though very dissatisfied with Smith's abuse, Salt found little courage to argue or request the warlord for reassignment, and seemingly had to obey out of fear. Smith even went so far as to spank him on his buttocks when he interrupted her discussion with Eve Higgins. A few months later, Salt was acting as monitor for those imprisoned in the cellar there. He also helped to capture Alicia, and during this time he addressed her with cannibalistic overtones. During the subsequent Meeting at Transylvania Quarters he was ordered by the Gladiator to keep an eye on Alicia and make sure she remained silent. At one point, his grip began to falter, and Alicia began whimpering, infuriating the Gladiator. Salt quickly tightened his grip. He along with all the other Knights of Plague present watched as the Gladiator murdered her with an electric blast and fed her body to Nagatha.

Shortly before the Christmas of 2051, Augustus Salt was sent by the warlord to retrieve the Orb of Power in the Court of Domination. After he had infiltrated the area, Salt met up with Percy, who was sent to guard the very same artifact. Salt, unable to resist, and who had attracted Percy's attention already, attacked him. The attack was witnessed by Andromeda in one of her dreams. Critically injured, Percy was taken to NYC Hospital on the orders of Lewis Thicke. He survived the attack, but was required to take a liquid medicine at regular intervals. At the suggestion of Trainee Doctor, Autumn Pye, Percy tried stitches. Salt's tire-inflicted scar marks seemed to delay blood clotting, and even dissolved the stitches, which caused the wounds to bleed profusely when the bandages were removed. Ultimately, an antidote to the poison was found and he was cured.

During the Mission to Transylvania Quarters early in 2052, Augustus Salt temporarily separated from the other Knights, because he wanted to help John Webb who was incapacitated — not for humanitarian reasons, but because he had earlier mentioned he would seek a chance to pay back a debt — as the Gladiator told him to "come here". He was paired with Nolan Giles, and they pursued Lindsay Kellerman and Andromeda. After the members subsequently escaped into the Death Chamber, Salt swooped down and easily escaped to Jupiter, where the fighting continued. A snare radar system was used by an aircraft to give off a false sensor reading, making the scanners believe Salt was the size of a bicycle. During the subsequent battle against members of the Final Alliance, Salt assaulted Saul Cameron, scarring his face. Salt also tried to eat Sheriff Dynamo during the battle, but Dynamo retaliated with a kinetic blast. After Andromeda was killed, Force Baby furiously gunned down several Knights. Seeing this, Salt shook off any surprise, and thus proved harder to defeat. He kicked Lindsay aside, deflected Telekinibabe's exosword, and fired beams at Force Baby, forcing him to dodge. However, a stray blast from the embattled George and Sebiscuits Cardarphen defeated him for good. The Gladiator would be imprisoned shortly afterwards, heralding the end of the Knights of Plague.

 File:PromoTSB4 Augustus Salt 2.jpg
Augustus Salt is a cyborg — he has living arms and a living human head, which are attached to a fearsome monster car. Parts of his brain are robotic as well. Having forsaken his humanity long ago, he is driven by his animistic fanaticism. During his capture of Alicia, his threats to her had cannibalistic overtones. Despite his savagery, he does display fear towards those more powerful than him, as shown when he allowed Becca Smith to push him around (though he may have simply not wanted to deal with the Gladiator). Salt takes advantage of his abilities and savagery, and stations himself near his targets. He enjoys attacking them and specializes in murdering children. Despite his ideology of thinking Knights deserve blood, and his attempt to recruit more mutants for his cause, Salt would ultimately seem to be just a primal savage who enjoys killing. He has even been known to eat the corpses of his victims before, proving his cannibalism. Not subscribing to the Knights of Plague's views on racial superiority, Augustus Salt was not treated with respect, despite being invited into the ranks of the Knights of Plague. This may have been because the Gladiator considered him a minority, yet he was too valuable of an accomplice not to have in his ranks. Salt showed clear resentment at the lack of respect he received but sided with the Knights because of the amount of officers he would be allowed to kill. Most Knights of Plague seemed to regard him with disgust, with Becca Smith spanking him for talking out of turn, though Nolan Giles seemed to respect, or at least accept, him for who he is. As a cyborg, Salt was incredibly strong and resistant. Running over an opponent was one of his favorite moves and could result in a wound that was slow to heal. Though this attack was not always fatal, it made it difficult for wounds to close and Percy's injuries continued to bleed long after Salt had attacked him. The Knight could fight several S.M.S.B. members at once with his hands and car tires. He is known to be very agile, having been described driving himself as *"a grey blur."* He appears in *Before The SMSB: The Dominion of the Dark Lord*, *Red Cavalier*, and *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Latest Threat*.

### **Saskirne**

Saskine, born and raised on Jupiter, is a neurodivergent and an indirect ally to Annabeth Black.

### **Saul**

Saul was taken to the Jade Sanctum for training in the ways of mutantry by the police at a young age. A survivor of the Blackwing Operation, he took refuge on Venus until Abalan hunted him down. Due to Saul’s death, Venus was left defenseless, as Saul’s robots had protected the planet during Saul’s lifetime. Dre Rhosh was angered by Saul’s death as they kept the Empire at bay for many years. Although scavengers remained in the country for some time, the Empire soon took over the country, stripping its metals to create Supreme Exterminators, leaving little for scavengers to obtain. The metals and ores stripped from the country after Saul’s death were used in orbiting construction facilities, such as the one Abalan later destroyed using an ore cannon.

### **Sectumre**

Sectumre was a famous bounty hunter. During his training under Jacob Tholme, which lasted for nine years, Sectumre progressed rapidly, though he demonstrated jealousy over the special treatment Ipall Mercedes received. After several years of training, Sectumre became very popular. He finally found Mercedes and the two were able to make up and eventually they became close friends. In 2020, he moved to assassinate the Magistrate, who was pregnant, and was deprived of his firearms by her loyal servant Corey Deidrick. He then entered the throne room and proceeded to slash Zira across the back with his knife, before a guard intervened and killed him.

Finally, Sectumre was discovered and a famous trainer named Jacob Tholme offered to train him and raise him as his own. Sectumre agreed to this, though the Sensei had to kill his parents to ensure Sectumre could leave safely. During his training, which lasted for nine years, Sectumre progressed rapidly, though he constantly demonstrated jealousy over the special treatment Ipall Mercedes received. After several years of training, Sectumre became very popular, though not as much so as Mercedes or Xydarone IV. Sectumre finally found Mercedes while on a mission and they were able to make up over previous slights. Sectumre asked what her plans were at the time, and Mercedes said she was going swimming. Sectumre joined her at the pool, though he had to sit on a bench and watch Mercedes because he did not have a swimsuit. After Mercedes was done swimming for the day, she asked Sectumre why he did not ever join her. Sectumre explained that he did not own any swimming gear, appalling Mercedes. As a token of her goodwill towards Sectumre, she bought him a swimsuit the following day. From there, Sectumre joined his new friend at the swimming pool several times.

For a while, Sectumre had been concocting a plan to assassinate the Magistrate and naively try to take her power for his own. In 2020, Zira became pregnant with the baby that would one day become a Prince. Sectumre immediately saw his chance to murder the heir to the throne in the process, showing he was cruel enough to murder a pregnant woman without a second thought. The following week, Sectumre breached the Royal Palace of the Magistrate and nearly murdered Corey Deidrick, had he not taken his firearm forcibly, making him turn pale and flee from the personalized servant. He then entered the throne room and found Zira at the far end. Zira attempted to man her throne's mounted laser cannons to fight back, but struggled. Sectumre reacted quickly, slashing her across the back with his knife, tearing off a large piece of her clothing. A guard angrily intervened, disarming Sectumre after a brief bout of bladework. He then slashed him, running him through several times for good measure. Although Zira was impressed, Sammy Salaraga thought the guard's heroics were mediocre. He appears in *League of Red Stars*.

### **Indiana Shaffer**

"*Indiana's my name and I'm addicted to your presence!*"
―Indiana to Baby Intelligence[src]

"*I'm — I'm Indiana Shaffer. I'm with the Galloping Grenades. D'you think — would it be all right if — can I have a picture?... So I can prove I've met you. I know all about you. Everyone's told me. About how you slayed Mr. Stupid NoHead himself, and how you stood as a beacon of hope for all who opposed the Dark Order. Inhumane, brutal, undeserving beings... It's amazing here, isn't it?*"
―Indiana meeting Baby Intelligence[src]

"*I never got my letter. Whoever the principal is, I'm hacking him with a dagger.*"
―Indiana Shaffer[src]
Indiana Shaffer is a Crodela player who appears in three of five books of *The Super Babies*, and is remembered by Baby Intelligence in *The Super Babies: The Final Chapter*. A self-described addict to Baby Intelligence, she heavily dotes on him. Initially a quiet, typical school girl, she met Baby Intelligence at a Crodela game and constantly followed him around. Indiana Shaffer died soon after the Battle of the Western Field. After Arcanus Cassidy trapped Baby Intelligence and fellow member Lindsay Kellerman on their way to pour ice into the Eastern Field, Shaffer rescued them by cutting them out of their net. Angered, Cassidy threw her stave at Shaffer, earning her a sword strike through the heart, while Baby Intelligence tried in vain to save her. Shaffer assured Baby Intelligence he could win, by which time he realized that despite pulling the stave out, Shaffer had lost a great deal of blood. After her death, Baby Intelligence continued to think a lot about Shaffer, blaming himself for her demise.

Born in 2013, Indiana Shaffer was raised in a mutant family. She had a non-mutate for a sister, so her family must've been half-blooded. While she desperately wanted to attend Superhero School, she never received a Letter of Admittance. Shaffer later said she would find the school principal and "hack him with a dagger". Indeed, Shaffer perfected her use with this weapon while she was young. As a teenager, Indiana became a member of the Galloping Grenades. Indiana wanted to take some photos of Crodela, in order to show to her father. She was constantly seen worshiping the ground Baby Intelligence, a member of the Holy Mackerels walked on, ever since she met him in January of 2030, prior to the first game of the season, Shaffer cut off Brianna Taylor with a roar when she was flashing Baby Intelligence mercilessly. The team ultimately won the match.

Indiana Shaffer died soon after the Battle of the Western Field. After Arcanus Cassidy trapped Baby Intelligence and fellow member Lindsay Kellerman on their way to pour ice into the Eastern Field, Shaffer rescued them by cutting them out of their net. Angered, Cassidy threw her stave at Baby Intelligence, but it went through Shaffer's neck instead; this earned Cassidy a sword strike through the heart, while Baby Intelligence tried in vain to save her. Shaffer assured Baby Intelligence he could win, by which time he realized that despite pulling the stave out, Shaffer had lost a great deal of blood. After her death, Baby Intelligence continued to think a lot about Shaffer, blaming himself for her demise. In June of 2030, Baby Intelligence visited Shaffer's grave, which was placed on a beautiful hill. He shared this experience with his friends Sebiscuits Cardarphen and Baby Strength, explaining that he came to say sorry for a life that was stolen and that he plans on visiting every year on the anniversary of Shaffer's death. He told them that Shaffer was a "good girl" and that she did not deserve her fate.

Indiana has large, dark eyes, long black hair done back in a plait, and a prominent chin. She is at an average height (167.4 centimeters) though at 52 kilograms, she is slightly underweight. She is described as having an air of extreme boldness about her and often spoke in a loud, dramatic voice. During the Battle of the Western Field, she was seen wearing a dark green sweater with red lettering in the center saying "Louisiana Cardinals". Initially a quiet, typical high schooler, Indiana gradually became a person who was very easily excited. She was also a fan of some "celebrities", such as Baby Intelligence and Rihanna. She clearly had a great deal of hero worship for Baby Intelligence, as she was constantly in awe of anything Baby Intelligence said or did. She always followed Baby Intelligence around during Crodela matches, so she came off as quite annoying. Indiana was also brave, as she fought at the Battle of the Eastern Field against Brute Gunray and his followers, even though she was forbidden from it by her parents, which she defied by running away and teleporting, and was killed during the battle. She fully understood the inhumane and brutal nature of the NoHeads. In spite of this, she was somewhat homicidal, as she wanted to put a dagger in the principal of Superhero School, though it can be assumed she was joking. There was no doubt that Indiana was a skillful flyer and Crodela player. In particular, she was noted to have a very fast swerve. She even defeated Baby Intelligence once, something she later regretted. Indiana Shaffer was also handy with a dagger.

Indiana possibly had a good relationship with her family. Her father was a "executive" who helped her get with the Galloping Grenades. Indiana wanted to take some photos of Crodela, in order to show to her father. When Indiana was killed during the Battle of the Eastern Field, her family was devastated. Eventually, Baby Intelligence apologized to her father, who assured the baby that he wasn't to blame for his daughter's death. She appears in *The Super Babies: The Blabberish Singer* and *The Super Babies: An Ended Generation* and is mentioned in *The Super Babies: Revenge of Hell Burnbottom* and *The Super Babies: Final Clash of Brethren*.

### **Sheriff Eli Baldric**

Sheriff Eli Baldric was the head of the Police Grand Army during the first half of the First NoHead War. He had a brother, Noah Baldric, who struggled with the Darkness. Despite Eli’s attempts, Noah turned against his brother, taking on the name the Ghastly One and becoming a servant of Mr. Stupid NoHead, the Dark Lord. In 2000, he teamed up with Bladepoint and Jean Richardson, who brought with them a prophet called the Mystic, that had the Ebony Windows. Rachel Bradley, who had separated from Baldric after Noah’s fall, returned to him. During the battle to destroy Centerpoint Headquarters, Baldric saw his brother, the Ghastly One, who stabbed his brother with his sword. He is a major character in *Before The SMSB: The Promises of Sheriff Baldric*.

Eli Baldric was born in 1927 to Lieutenant Carrie Reed and Sergeant Keith Baldric of the police. As an infant, Baldric barely saw his parents due to the police’s continued operations as the NoHeads were formed, and Baldric was thus left in the care of his maternal grandfather. Finally, Baldric’s parents left police service to reunite with him, settle in Sharon, Connecticut and build a house. At this point, they sired a second child, Noah. At age six, Baldric began to learn how to fly in his mother’s old RZ-1 D-wing interceptor, which was part of his mother’s compensation package when she mustered out of the police. She would take Baldric up in it, and he would sit in her lap, learning how to control the ship from her. Tragedy struck his family when his mother unexpectedly died; at the time, Baldric was only eight years old. Lewis, Carrie’s fellow police pilot and friend, helped raise Eli and his brother, and was thus like family to him.

Noah Baldric followed in his late mother’s footsteps and became a pilot, serving the Police Grand Army Skyfleet, where he became one of the Sheriff’s most trusted operatives. Baldric flew under the callsign of Black Leader while piloting his specialized P-80 Winger, Black One. Eli had a cousin named Rachel, who he informed of their relative’s fall to the Darkness. Ultimately, the event caused them to separate, with Rachel returning to her insurgent business, and Baldric spearheading the activities of the police. As the leader of the police, Eli Baldric began to be addressed as Sheriff Baldric rather than his given name. Baldric also served in recruiting aspiring police officers. One of the individuals he recruited was Ellen Wells. During a training session, Sheriff Baldric encouraged apprentice Frank to watch his blind spot in combat. In response, Frank boasted that he did not have a blind spot.

Eventually, Baldric sent Bladepoint to find the truth behind the rumors that a man was training an apprentice who would surely equal him in power. This was also the first mission Bladepoint had received from the “big boss”. After he, José Smasa, and Irwin Arana managed to complete the mission despite the odds, Baldric assigned Tyson to see what he could get from the flight computers while he congratulated Bladepoint. Afterwards, as he rested, Baldric analyzed the information obtained from the Peruvian Grace. The following morning, he summoned Bladepoint to his office, and asked what he felt about the dilemma; when he remembered the hopelessness of the Pre-NoHead era that his parents had told him about. Thanks to him, he resolved to find the hologram pit, which the NoHeads were attempting to steal, and restore hope to the world. Baldric then resolved to find Saul Cameron, whom he (Baldric) believed held a clue to the pit’s location. Sheriff Baldric was approached by Bladepoint and Jean, who had just escaped an attack from the NoHeads. Bladepoint said he thought that they were after the Orb of Power, and Bladepoint stated that he did not doubt this at all. They asked Baldric to hide away the Mystic for them, and Baldric took them aboard the *Pummeller* for the mission ahead.

Sheriff Baldric took Bladepoint and Jean to the city of Edgewater to meet his old friend Max Cultarena at his inn. There he learned that Cultarena had found and kept the old sword that once belonged to Lord Gorn. While there, the NoHeads were alerted to the Mystic’s presence and attacked. During the ensuing battle, he killed several robots with his gun. Baldric, Jean, and Joseph were initially captured, but escaped when the police, also alerted to the Mystic’s presence, counterattacked. Despite the NoHeads being driven off, Baldric witnessed his grandson Mr. Stupid NoHead carrying away Bladepoint. Among his rescuers in Edgewater was Baldric’s estranged cousin and former companion, General Rachel Bradley. She gave Baldric, Joseph, Jean, and the Mystic a ride back to the police station. As Centerpoint prepared to wipe out the Blackwing Sanctum, the police planned an attack of their own. Jean had given them Centerpoint’s blueprints, which revealed that the base drained the energy of buildings in order to charge its superweapon, and that it required a thermal oscillator, which sustained the energy in the Base, that, if destroyed, would destabilize Centerpoint and blow it up. However, they would need to do it before Centerpoint fully charged its weapon. Sheriff Baldric added that he would personally go and disable the shield, and Joseph volunteered to join him. Before he left, Rachel told Baldric to find their relative, and convince him to reject the darkness and return to the light.

Along with Jean and Joseph, Sheriff Baldric took the *Pummeller* to Centerpoint Headquarters, exiting subspace inside the Base’s shield just next to the walls. When Jean revealed his stationing had previously been in sanitation and that the real reason he came along was to rescue Bladepoint from the Order of the NoHeads, Baldric and Joseph a agreed to help him with a bit of annoyance. While inside the Base, they captured RC-2 and forced him to lower the shields, after which Baldric claimed that they would not leave the base without Bladepoint. After finding Bladepoint, the group headed to Centerpoint’s thermal oscillator to assist the police pilots above in its destruction. While planting explosives with Joseph, Baldric spotted Noah and confronted him on a long walkway positioned above a massive pit, where he attempted to convince his brother to leave the NoHeads and come back with him. Noah drew his sword and activated it, and it passed through the Sheriff’s chest. As Bladepoint, Jean, and Joseph watched in horror, Baldric fell to his death in the pit below. Rachel sensed her cousin’s death and wept for his loss. Sheriff Baldric’s death was later mourned by Rachel, Joseph, and Bladepoint when they returned from Centerpoint Headquarters after its destruction. He appears in *Before The SMSB: The Promises of Sheriff Baldric*.

### **Sheriff Jagger**

Sheriff Jagger is the leader of the police, as of Sheriff Dynamo's death, and a former student at Superhero School. After the Duel in the Acquisition District, Dynamo met with Master Intelligence in a chamber in the Jorvian Asylum. Regarded as a role model by his peers, Sheriff Jagger was a wise and faithful leader. He possessed a heart full of generosity and willingness to help other people in need.

### **Sierra**

"*You don’t find light very pleasing, do you, shitbag?"
"Language!*"
―Sierra and Steven Thompson belittling the Black Queen (as "the Orc Devil")[src]

"*Sometimes you can't do anything about them. Sometimes you've just gotta sit back, drink your Mountain Dew, and accept that people are freaking morons.*"
―Sierra[src]
Sierra is a member of the Decemahead under the Armies of Organa. Her callsign is nine. She is very rebellious and vulgar, but equally affectionate and brave. Born a mutant in 2007, Sierra eventually attended Tower Placement School and joined the Armies of Organa, making her a gender traitor. Despite this, her courage and strength did not go unnoticed, and became the only female member of the Decemahead, the Boy-Team's leading body. When Vincent Organa stepped down from the rank of Supreme Commander of the Armies of Organa and offered the post to Steven Thompson, he introduced him to Sierra and the rest of the Decemahead. She caught him off guard by giving him an alarmingly strong handshake. Thompson chose to keep her in her current position of power, as he could think of no reason to do otherwise.

During the School War, Sierra became close friends with the reserved yet charismatic Summer Petersen. Eventually, the Girl-Team fleet under Emily Watson and insurgent Summer Petersen launched a siege of the entire Decemahead. The group captured Sierra and detained her with her fellow Boy-Team leaders in the detention unit of the Red Battlements. Having realized that they had been lured away from Tower Placement, Steven Thompson, Charles Hugh, and Helen McKeen made their way back to Provo, where they set out to rescue the captive members of their organization's leading body. They eventually found them being monitored by Emily Watson. The four of them dueled. Emily Watson was aware that this duel was meant to rescue Sierra. Steven Thompson was thrown against a wall, but Helen McKeen and Charles continued to fight. When McKeen disarmed the Girl-Team's leader and had her down on her knees at gunpoint, Watson escaped. This was a victory for Sierra, who was subsequently set free. The group was later captured by the Sanguine Bullet, who was now an insurgent, but the agent revealed she was Summer Petersen in disguise and secretly let them go free. The entire Decemahead met together inside Thunder Quarters and Thompson went after the Orc Devil. Subsequently, Sierra rushed into the dungeon, where the entire organization battled her. After Dustin found a vast chamber, Sierra went upstairs with McKeen and they began cutting holes in the floor to drop mounds of rubble on the Orc Devil's misty and scaly head, to no avail. The fight ended in a stalemate. When Summer had a huge falling-out with Steven when he began falling in love with Helen Thornton, Sierra spent a lot of time with her. When Emily Watson framed the entire Boy-Team for murder, Sierra refused to announce her allegiance and was unfairly confined in Utah County Jail, despite being innocent of any real war crimes. Thanks to Summer Petersen and Vincent Organa, they would not be wrongfully detained for long, but they were spotted by the jail guards and a battle broke out, for which Sierra participated in. Sierra was confirmed to fight in the Liberation of Utah and she attended the victory celebration early in June of 2022.

Sierra continued spending time with Summer Petersen over the next three years by joining a group of girls that followed her around, and starting in February of 2026, Summer noticed that she was taking any innocuous opportunities to scan her body, and in particular, Summer's belly projecting from her torso in a rather masculine way and being shown off in tight clothes. This unnerved Summer as she was unsure why Sierra was doing this, but she didn't speak up. At the end of her senior year at Tower Placement, Sierra attended Thompson's graduation party in June. Near the beginning of the celebration, Sierra sat on the couch with Summer and several other girls, stifling a chuckle when Summer denied having adequate "people skills", which Sierra disagreed with. When Summer got up to leave, Sierra stayed on the couch and continued talking with the others. Upon going to sleep, Steven placed Summer in charge, and she ensured everyone, including Sierra, was out by 5 a.m. Before leaving, Summer playfully enticed Sierra to acknowledge her bloated belly, overstuffed with several pre-party dishes, soda, various snacks, and lots of leftover cake, although Sierra didn't react the way she expected, as she grabbed her delicate, unmuscular arms and kissed her on the lips. Summer acknowledged she was extremely beautiful and didn't see anything wrong with what she just did, but Sierra did inform Steven without Summer's knowledge by texting him shortly after heading home.

Sierra's physical demeanor is a mix of dark colors. She has dark skin, large, dark eyes, long, curly black hair, and dresses in formal, dark-colored clothing, which included a black crop top she wore at Steven Thompson's graduation party. Sierra also wears grey earrings. She is described as having an air of extreme strength about her that could potentially give her a frightening edge, and often spoke in a loud, dramatic voice. Sierra is extremely stubborn and rebellious, with her not liking being told what to do or what her limits are. She easily established an affectionate relationship with Summer Petersen, whom many would consider incredibly difficult to get along with. Despite caring deeply for her and acknowledging her as a genuinely good person, Summer felt like their friendship was one-sided. Sierra was brave and loyal. She was eager to participate in the defense of her school against the Girl-Team, despite not even having a weapon, and never lost her faith in the Armies of Organa as a whole.

Having been repeatedly underestimated her entire life due to being a woman and therefore a gender traitor, Sierra never backs down from a challenge. Sierra notably possesses a sassy and dry wit, once unkindly joking that Petersen's clothes didn't match, even though she clearly didn't take issue with it at all. She also called the Orc Devil a "shitbag" during their confrontation, being completely unaware that she was taking a shot directly at the Black Queen herself. Sierra was a dedicated artist, being known to delight in drawing anime-styled aliens, and enjoyed listening to audiobooks in her spare time. Sierra is on the LGBT+ spectrum, as she has shown subtle yet irrefutable signs of intimate interest in her close friend Summer Petersen. She had been taking innocuous chances to scan her increasingly bloated body, and when she passionately ground her bulging stomach into Sierra, Sierra was enticed to kiss her mouth, and Summer was too overwhelmed to stop her, indicating she wanted to be intimate with her but didn't want to take her away from Steven Thompson. She has not been known to express romantic interest in men although it may just not be shown to readers yet, leaving it unclear whether she is homosexual or bisexual. Sierra was evidently very physically skilled and talented. When she shook the hand of Steven Thompson, who has demonstrated signs of superhuman strength, he found it to be painful. She and Helen McKeen, who is also prodigiously strong, were seen cutting out pieces of rubble and hauling them into an opening with pinpoint precision to assault the Orc Devil. So while her strength is not seen explicitly in the trilogy, the fact that she has an air of extreme strength about her and lives up to it by remaining toe-to-toe with the likes of Thompson and McKeen most certainly makes her a powerful young woman. Sierra is a considerably skilled artist, specializing in anime-styled aliens. She appears in *Boys vs. Girls: The Coming Darkness*, *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent*, *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*, and *Boys vs. Girls 2*.

### **Sir Edgar Caravan**

"*Sir Edgar Caravan was one of the most prodigious Knights in recorded history. He had seen battle on all six continents, taken out a horde of riggits unaided, and fought evil men from Ancient Rome in a chariot. Driving backwards. Never was Edgar afraid. Apart from his fighting skills, Edgar had revolutionized his people with wondrous inventions he made when he wasn't fiercely applying his boots against the buttocks of unspeakable monstrosities. The alien feared Edgar might be too preoccupied to spend time with. And if he was in a bad mood, he knew neither of them would have any fun at all.*"
―*The Super Babies: Pride of the Super Babies*

"*It is difficult to imagine life without the wheel. But even that was an invention borne of an ambitious and well-organized mind.*"
―Sir Edgar Caravan[src]
Sir Edgar Caravan is a knight in shining armor. During the rule of Charlemagne, Sir Edgar Caravan established a cult of personality, where certain men came to revere him. He eventually established a very close relationship with the ruler, and the first knights came into being, modeling their armor, traditions, and beliefs directly after their ruler's venerable friend and ally. Hence, history would often remember Sir Edgar himself as a knight in shining armor. It was said that over the course of his career, Sir Edgar Caravan engaged in battles on all six continents, save for Antarctica. On one occasion, he was alone when a horde of tigers tried to kill him, only to take out each of them in their turn. On another occasion, he fought evil men from Ancient Rome in a chariot whilst driving backwards. Eventually, he became a mortal enemy to the Legions of Metta and a significant contributor to the fight against them. After the fanatical Valarie Lethletera left the organization, Edgar led many people who were willing to risk their lives to fight Metta to oppose the unhinged and genocidal Lady Xamera. Believing the opposition would be short-lived, Xamera placed a high bounty on his head and founded a relatively formal organization called the Reapers led by the vampire Kohor. At some point, Edgar met Kohor in person, as he would grimly recognize the vampire in the year 810. Apart from his fighting skills, Edgar revolutionized his people with wondrous inventions that would be crucial to the development of the human race.

Eventually, Sir Edgar developed his final creation: a scooter, devised of wood and held together by ropes and metal bolts. Kohor and his men successfully captured Sir Edgar, but he was forced to summon Xamera when Sir Edgar easily incapacitated the Reapers. Sir Edgar flung his sword at Kohor, only for Xamera to deflect it with her powers. The remaining Reapers stunned Sir Edgar, knocking him out while they brought him prisoner to Xamera's fortress. When he awoke, he found he was shackled from head to foot. Xamera, who was waiting for him to regain consciousness, had decided to make his death humiliating by killing him in front of all the Knights. When Sir Edgar awoke, he and Xamera taunted each other until she decided no purpose was being served and sarcastically offered him a chance to beg for mercy. In response, Sir Edgar utters the prophecy of the Chosen One and Xamera listened intently. When he was finished, Xamera ordered his execution to proceed. With his home abandoned by its owner, his final invention would never become known to anyone, and someone else would proceed to invent the wooden kick scooter early in the nineteenth century, more than a millennium after Sir Edgar Caravan passed away.

Sir Edgar Caravan had bitten off a bit more than he could chew with the Legions of Metta, and yet his spirit endured, just as powerful as ever before. The disembodied ghost somehow created the Voice of Sir Edgar Caravan to ensure his prophecy would be fulfilled. Three scrolls were laden in remote and perilous hiding places where no one could find them. By the 21st century, his noble actions had become part of Tower Placement School's history classes; despite his prophecy being unknown, there was much mention of his achievements as the first knight in shining armor. Sir Edgar's prophecy came to pass when Lindsay Kellerman, the Chosen One Edgar had spoken of, destroyed the lord of history's most infamous Dark Order, the NoHeads, alongside a superhero named Baby Intelligence. While the two babies were recuperating after the fight, Sir Edgar appeared to Kellerman, who was struggling to fight off flashes of red light and tormenting memories that came with the after-effects of the Voice. It is unknown what words were exchanged, but Sir Edgar finally left her subconscious and proceeded to comfort Baby Intelligence, thanking him profoundly for the effort he put into finding the three scrolls. He forbade Baby Intelligence from using the Voice against anyone else and asked him not to speak of their mental encounter. Now that his final purpose had been served, Sir Edgar prepared to dissolve into the netherworld, not knowing what awaited him but feeling immense relief, being the only known ghost to leave the mortal world. Baby Intelligence would later mention him to a skeptic, explaining that he was not allowed to fuse with Kellerman and unleash the Voice at their leisure, and that even if he was, he wouldn't want to.

Sir Edgar Caravan seems to portray some of the classic traits of the Knight in shining armor he has served as the direct inspiration for the very existence of: compassion, strength, chivalry, and absolute courage. He was a feared and extremely powerful opponent on the battlefield. When not brandishing a sword, he has helped nudge humanity forward technologically and been widely revered for his venerable contributions to the entire human race. Sir Edgar has used his almost superhuman intuition to protect humans and help them evolve their technologies at their own pace. When someone visited him, he always dropped what he was doing right away. Sir Edgar Caravan is an extremely skilled and formidable hand-to-hand combatant, being one of the most dangerous and best fighters of his age by far. Sir Edgar's supreme combat skills supplemented by his physical prowess enable him to overpower even the strongest opponents. Sir Edgar Caravan has an extraordinary intellectual aptitude. Over the centuries, he has helped nudge humanity forward technologically and has been revered for his humanistic works. He is the one who originally conceived the scooter, although his untimely execution meant it would not be implemented so early. Sir Edgar Caravan wears silver armor, that the knights of the Middle Ages have all based theirs off of. It has been seen withstanding arrow shots with its tremendous durability. He appears in *The Super Babies: Pride of the Super Babies*.

### **Harold Skore**

Harold Skore is the former CEO of Skore Industries. When he was a child, Harold Skore often enjoyed going to the zoo. He took in a child named Alex Crawford, though he did not care for him and treated him abusively. Skore eventually swindled Cara Mota, who became enraged and secretly hired thugs to make a huge scene and expose the company's illicit activities, leading to Skore being murdered in his own neighborhood. He posthumously lost his company to Mota Corporation.

### **Darren Slade**

"*It's all right, Darren. Your secret is safe with me. Come, give me a hug, trooper.*"
―Annabeth soothing Darren[src]
Darren Slade is a mutant and a supporting character in He was possessed by Mr. Stupid NoHead, but Master Intelligence freed him in Elmira. Slade flew into a panic when his NoHead Sign began to freeze. When Hell Burnbottom returned, he fled. For his treachery, Slade was hunted down and murdered by his former comrades in the summer of 2042. He was known to be very young during the age of the NoHead Empire. Like few others, he survived the rage of Lily Elazar's War, alive and well. Darren Slade's current way of life, while not disclosed, made him miserable, and during the Second NoHead War, his dilusionment came to a head when he ran into Annabeth Black, being taken with her on first sight. Annabeth was able to soothe his fears and listened to him vent about his situation for ten minutes, before Darren desisted. Realizing how close he felt to Black, he pledged to join the NoHead cultists, and she personally dubbed him and inscribed the NoHead Sign. He became a NoHead temporarily, working primarily for Black and Hell Burnbottom, the latter of whom showed more approval of Slade's loyalty to the religious side of the Order. However, less than a month later, Darren felt terrible for his actions. Following a heated conversation with Black, he realized she could not help him and instead went to Baby Intelligence for help, who told him that if he betrayed them, he would die. He instead advised Darren become an insurgent under the government, which he did. Black took his disenchantment as teaching her not to suppress all of her secrets from people who clearly trusted her genuinely, and chose not to turn him in, keeping her promise. On December 6, 2029, Slade frantically sped to the Kellerman house, discovering the house destroyed and his friends dead; only baby Lindsay was still alive.

In 2037, Darren Slade was possessed by the ghost of Mr. Stupid NoHead. Under NoHead's control, Darren committed many crimes throughout the next few months. Darren was terrified, knowing something had happened to him, but not knowing what. The unusual amount of illicit activity was eventually sensed by Master Intelligence, who quickly found the source. Before long, Master Intelligence engaged Slade in combat. Eventually, Master Intelligence won the duel and was then able to help Slade eject NoHead from his body, and Darren was more himself. Now that he saw who Darren really was, Master Intelligence ensured that Slade was not arrested for the crimes he had been forced to commit. Two weeks after the duel, Darren Slade worked with Rocken Role and Sheriff Bladepoint to investigate the murder of a famous singer that had happened eight years prior. In September of the same year, Slade brought Augustus Salt, the culprit, to trial and saw the latter was convicted. Therefore, the case was solved.

On Halloween night, Darren Slade went on a walk in the night, where he was shocked to find the ghost of Mr. Stupid NoHead. NoHead tried to possess him once more, but Darren summoned enough willpower to stop him. Enraged, NoHead called out, invisible to all but Slade, that Darren had just killed Walter, and then created a huge explosion which killed twelve Fobbles in the process. Slade was arrested by the Department of Justice and was sentenced without trial to Beta Prison by President Robbie Evans for the murder of Walter and the twelve Muggles, and for being in the service of the NoHeads. He would spend the next twelve years in solitary confinement. Driven to the brink of madness, he retained his sanity by focusing on his innocence. He said, in the MBH, that "it was more an obsession than a happy thought", but still gave him small comfort. Lindsay Kellerman later discovered that Slade was once a NoHead but had been vouched for by Master Intelligence. Intelligence told the court that although Slade had indeed worked for Hell Burnbottom, he changed sides and turned spy against him. Master Intelligence reassured Lindsay that Slade's loyalties were genuine, though he refused to tell Kellerman why. Darren Slade came to Whammo Fireball, concerned about the NoHead Sign on his chest, a mark Fireball also bore as a member of the Apostles. On May 22, 2031, the night of Hell Burnbottom's restoration to his body and power, Darren fled for his life. Darren feared Burnbottom’s return because he had betrayed too many of the Dark Lord's servants to be allowed back into the fold, but the Lunch Money Bandit doubted he would get far, as the Dark Lord had "ways of tracking his enemies". Contrary to Cygnus' belief, Darren was able to stay alive on the run for a whole year. Inevitably, however, he was finally tracked down to a shack in northern Maine. He was killed by the Apostles, though he managed to put up a fight and pleaded mercy, as the NoHead Sign had been cast into the sky above it, and Slade's body was found in the shack itself for his disobedience. Slade's death was revealed to the assembled guests of the S.M.S.B.'s Christmas party in 2046 by Sebiscuits Cardarphen, who, among others, were surprised Slade had survived for so long.

Darren was a young man with a very pale skin tone and black hair and light blue eyes. He was usually seen wearing a black turban. According to Master Intelligence, he was "pure of heart." He was a well-meaning individual who wanted nothing more than peace. Despite this, he joined the NoHeads when things seemed bleakest for him (with encouragement from Annabeth Black), though he quickly came to regret it terribly. On several occasions, Darren has shown to be proficient in spying and tracking. He appears in *Sebiscuits: Apocalypse* and *S.M.S.B.: Where Are You Now?* and is mentioned in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Latest Threat*.

### **Smith family**

#### **Jamie Smith**

 File:J.png

"*Come with me. Mykew Hadeline might have questions for you.*"
―Jamie Smith[src]

"*You have nothing to fear. Tell me what you know, and I'll set you free."
"You know nothing. You will all kneel before the lord of evil."
"What are you talking about?"
"Their time will come again. My employer serves the Qisheng, the Why of All Being. Do you understand now, alien? Your time is up. The rage of war will find all in the universe!*"
―Prince Charlien and Jamie Smith[src]

"*You betray me... why?"
"Because it's the right thing to do.*"
―Mykew Hadeline and Jamie Smith[src]

"*What about Jamie? She was rude and wicked, but I think she was just following orders. Hadeline even called her a fool."
"I know. She turned out not to be so bad after all.*"
―Annie McCallin and Charity Hirz reflect[src]

"*I'm too young to have a clear-cut personality, what can I say? My energy, if that's what you want to call it, just reflects whomever I'm around. That's just how I roll, kapeesh?*"
―Jamie Smith[src]
Jamie Smith is a member of the Brotherhood, the servant of Mykew Hadeline, a minor antagonist in *Superquack*, the quarternery antagonist in *Annie and the Blue-Eared Kid* and a background character in *D.I.T. One-Shot: The Mediators*. In her youth, Jamie Smith eventually joined the ranks of the Brotherhood and quickly became an important member in the inner circle of Mykew Hadeline. Selectively taking her under her personal wing, Hadeline shared with Jamie her personal-secret knowledge of black magic. However, she had also taken Laura under her wing, and Jamie was not as trusted as Laura, although she did not know this. Jamie Smith eventually left the realm and went to Planet 12 to accept employment as the personal guard over his city-wide collection. Jamie was captured by DJ and [*blank - content needed*] in Uria after attempting to shoot [*blank - content needed*] in the back. Jamie was subjected to a contentious interrogation session during which she warned Prince Charlien about a building power in the realm of Tsala, whom she calls *"The Qisheng, the Why of All Being"*. Charlien proceeded to keep his word, and Jamie was set free, allowing her to depart from the palace.

After Mykew Hadeline disappeared, Jamie Smith and Laura made their home in the Realm ruled by the Black Queen and joined the Brotherhood. Jamie would later claim Laura was the one to suggest taking refuge there. However, her exploits were not forgotten, as in 2012, Annie McCallin and Savannah van Dukas reflected on her. In the same year, Jamie reluctantly rejoined Hadeline after she was spirited from the underworld. The problem in their relationship is that Hadeline is out for revenge, whereas Jamie is merely following orders. When Jamie and Laura ate dinner together, Hadeline arrived and commended Jamie's decision despite being far less pleased with Laura's. When Hadeline and Hu departed, Smith was left alone with the Horned Wraith. She proceeded to elaborate on the Naegri with him. During her conversation with the Horned Wraith, a delivery guy phoned by Hu entered; knowing that no one could know about Smith's relationship with the Wraiths' leader, Smith shot and killed Rane in cold blood. Annoyed, Smith told Dukas to come quietly so Hadeline could judge her. However, Jamie Smith later regained some perspective and turned against her ruler, citing to her face that it was the right thing to do. After the battle, Jamie was once again confronted by Savannah van Dukas, who told her she could find a place for her to go so she wouldn't have to return to the realm. While Jamie confirmed that was exactly what she intended on doing, she insisted on finding such a place alone. Dukas suggested that Jamie meet one of the Spacefarers called Voyager, and encouraged Jamie to learn Voyager's real name on her own.

Arrogant, brash, impolite, and cocky, Jamie Smith typified childish amorality. Much like the other two girls comprising their trio, whose personalities she had a nasty habit of trying to emulate, she was no stranger to killing and could murder without batting an eye as she did with a pizza guy and with the entire global population. She had a sick sense of humor that even Mykew Hadeline found repulsive. Hadeline sometimes called Jamie a fool, which she usually ignored. However, Jamie later regained some perspective and turned against her ruler, seeking the Spacefarers to find a new path. Smith is skilled in the use of firearms, particularly pistols. She shot and killed two guards as well as Rane. She appears in *Annie and the Blue-Eared Kid*.

#### **Katy Smith**

Katy Smith joined the ranks of the Police Grand Army, operating from home, which was unusual given most involved police lived in the Sanctuary. In the criteria of sword dueling, she was number two in her class, second only to Jean Richardson. She survived the Blackwing Operation and took Richardson's crown as top duelist, as she had been a victim of the massacre. During the events of the War on Terror, she eventually became married, and gave birth to Patrick Smith in 2018. She also participated in the Battle of Golgolod in 2023 and befriended Paige Nelson, who had led the attack. Katy Smith flew in a G-40 squadron when she participated in the Battle of California. The city's shield proved stronger than expected, and the attack force suffered heavy losses, but the tables turned when X1, a clone of police leader Abalan, provided assistance.

After the S.M.S.B. assaulted the Tropic NoHead Research Facility, Paige Nelson left upstairs and drew her comlink and rallied Katy Smith, just as she had planned to do before the battle. When Smith arrived, she learned that Jason Williams and Caleb Hawkins had been recruited as well. On the eve of their confrontation with Mr. Stupid NoHead, Sebiscuits Cardarphen offered to join the quartet, but Paige refused him. Katy briefly chatted with Caleb and Jason before they crammed into an airspeeder and departed to the Dark Lord's office. Nervous, she claimed it would have been much calmer if Baby Intelligence or Sheriff Bladepoint had been with them. Jason scolded her for this; he maintained that they should be capable of subduing NoHead, and that they were sufficient for the task. On the way, Paige armed Katy and the others with swords. Walking into the office, the four police drew their swords and confronted Mr. Stupid NoHead, who quickly reached for his own. Leaping across his desk, the Dark Lord landed and stabbed Smith, who was unable to slash quickly enough, through the torso. Katy Smith perished by the blade of the Dark Lord, crumpling to the floor.

Katy Smith was slim and sported a casual hairstyle. She was number two in her fencing class, and she generally adopted a highly defensive fighting style. In spite of this, however, Smith was slain by Mr. Stupid NoHead with a single blow, being caught off-guard by the Dark Lord's speed. She appears in *Sebiscuits: Apocalypse*, *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Sheriff Bladepoint*, and *The Marauder*.

#### **Patrick Smith**

In high school, Patrick met a very popular student named Becca Carter, who was with her posse at the time. Becca quickly became attracted to him, enthralling Smith, who quickly returned her love, still struggling to get along with his father and move on from losing Katy to the wrath of the Dark Lord. Unlike many others, Patrick made it through Lily Elazar's War and the Second NoHead War, alive and well. In 2025, Smith left home and, after finding an apartment, began attending Drake University. Soon after his graduation, the family had some mixed mutantry since Patrick married Becca Carter. Becca took Patrick's last name and they bore a daughter named Alyssa. Becca struggled with the Darkness, and was ultimately seduced by the Grand Contagion of Plague Reborn. Becca turned against the Smiths and became the commander of the Knights' military factions. Her betrayal sent shockwaves through her family. Patrick was very upset. Alyssa felt the same, and cried several times afterwards. Though Alyssa never gave up hope that there was still good in Becca, Patrick believed there was too much of Hell Burnbottom in Becca and that he had lost his wife forever. When Alyssa discovered her powers in 2051, she immediately asked Patrick if she could join Master Intelligence, knowing this must be her destiny. After she packed her things, Patrick drove her to the MBH and Alyssa asked if she could apply. After Alyssa succeeded in Master Intelligence's tests, Master Intelligence returned to find Patrick and gave him a cloak and sword as part of a ritual. Smith wore it as he surrounded Alyssa with the others, and Master Intelligence dubbed her an S.M.S.B. member and rechristened her with the name of Andromeda, further putting emphasis on the family's popularity. Before leaving his daughter behind, Smith congratulated her. However, she was murdered by her own mother the following year, who was thereafter struck down by Sebiscuits Cardarphen. This led Patrick Smith to strongly consider what to do with his life.

Patrick had dark brown hair and fair skin. He was a very caring and selfless person who loved his wife and daughter very much. Becca Carter, who was quite popular at her school, had described him as "charming." Andromeda was Patrick Smith's daughter; both of them spent a lot of time together and this is when they began to bond significantly. When Alyssa discovered her powers in 2041, she immediately asked Patrick if she could join the S.M.S.B., knowing this must be her destiny. After she packed her things, Smith drove her to the MBH and Alyssa asked if she could apply. After succeeding in Master Intelligence's tests, Alyssa joined the group. Before leaving his daughter behind, Smith congratulated her. During the Battle of Jupiter, Smith felt Andromeda's death.

### **Matthew Spall**

Matthew Spall is the netkeeper for the Holy Mackerels. In February of 2030, Spall bullied James Catherine, a brightener on his team.

### **Spearhead**

Spearhead is the pet lioness and personal ride of Emily Watson. Not much was known about Spearhead's origins or when she was acquired by Emily Watson. Though it is probable that she is a family pet, she is incredibly loyal to Emily. Spearhead was present when Betsy reported her failure to solve the code to the Girl-Team bombers. Watson fed Betsy to Spearhead. At one point, Spearhead encountered Denim Spikes trespassing in Thunder Quarters and engaged the intruder, bashing, scratching, and jamming turbolaser triggers against her laser sword-wielding adversary. They clashed in a titanic battle in Thunder Quarters’ control station, culminating in Spearhead escaping into another room. She was present at Tower Placement School during the Liberation of Utah. Her fate afterwards is not clear or shown, however as Helen McKeen indeed speculated it is likely she died sometime later off-page due to her owner's death meaning there was nobody to look after her anymore. Personality-wise, Spearhead is known to be an intelligent and malevolent animal.

### **Hubert Spears**

"*Jettison the bodies. Choose a place where the government can have a good look at them.*"
―Sēon Wan, after the death of Hubert Spears[src]
Hubert Spears is a police officer native to Colorado who served during the War on Terror and Second NoHead War. Famed for bringing peace and order to the antagonistic country of Laos early in his police career, he participated in the Battle of Axis Base in 2016, where the police toppled the NoHead Empire. Thirteen years later, he led a daring attempt to rescue Mayor Katie Black from the clutches of the commander of the NoHead Robot Army, Galfalor of Eris, over New York City. Many of the other police gave up, but Hubert Spears continued in his efforts to intercept the Lemur’s tri-wing shuttle, and eventually dueled with the Arcanus aboard the NoHead’s war station, the *Wasp*. Galfalor proved too strong for the police officer, however, and killed him. After the duel, Spears’ body was launched into the sky for all the police forces to see.

Hubert Spears was born in an unknown city in Colorado at some point before the fall of the NoHead Empire. He eventually became a police apprentice; he rose in ranks until he became an officer. After his elevation, he was dispatched to the country Laos in the southeastern region of Asia, tasked with bringing peace and order to the antagonistic country. He was successful, albeit only for a time: once he left the country matters slowly returned to as they had been before he arrived. His efforts in Laos made him famous among the police; the Administration encouraged him in 2002 to take an apprentice of his own, though, for reasons he kept to himself, he never took one. He was among the police stationed in the Jade Sanctum in 2016 when a meeting was held to discuss their plan of attack against the NoHeads. Along with Sheriff Bladepoint and several others, he flew to the forests of Rochester. There, he joined the strike team dispatched to disable the shield generator protecting Axis Base. Alongside female officer Isabel, Spears fought against the soldiers sent to patrol the forests, and assisted in liberating the forest monks in the process. However, they were both eventually separated from the rest of the police, and were left behind by the gunships come to lift everyone off the forest. They ultimately managed to survive and returned to the Jade Sanctum.

In 2029, during the NoHead assault of New York City, Hubert piloted a P-80 police skyfighter against the NoHead navy in an attempt to recover the shuttle that had abducted Mayor Katie Black. Galfalor of Eris, commander of the NoHead Robot Army, had kidnapped the Mayor from the capital, and Spears, along with fellow officers Caleb Hawkins and Jason Williams, led the rescue attempt. They had been the closest to hitting the shuttle, but Galfalor had managed to evade them by firing on local debris, which provided obstacles for the police and allowed her to further outrun them. Spears, Williams, and Hawkins were able to evade the debris, though, and were firing on the shuttle incessantly, but Rotta’s superior flying ability and the ship’s strong shields meant their weapons had little impact. As they exited the clouds, they began to perform more complex maneuvers and were soon joined by officer Katy Smith; they were slowly overpowering the shuttle’s shield generator. An accomplice named Kenzie Walters was eventually forced to fire on innocent vessels in the vicinity in an effort to persuade the police to fall back; they did so, though when it became a straight race for Walters’ flagship, the Wasp, the police, aided by several government vessels, attacked the shuttle once again. They were close to intercepting the vehicle when hundreds of N-54 fighters surged toward them, safeguarding the Lemur’s shuttle as it flew toward the Wasp. While many of the other pilots fell back in an attempt to defend themselves, Hubert Spears and two others continued onwards towards the Mayor. One of the fighters was eventually destroyed by cannon fire, but Spears and the other pilot, a police officer named Laarni Sherman, swerved out of the way and continued their pursuit of Galfalor. The Wasp used a tractor beam to draw in Galfalor’s shuttle, which was heavily damaged, and with it came the interceptors of both Spears and Sherman.

As soon as their ships touched down in the hangar bay of the ship, Hubert Spears and the other police officers jumped out of their skyfighters and drew their guns, shooting down F7 and F8 NoHead robots as they ran towards the shuttle, intent on rescuing Black. One of them plunged a sword through the hull of the ship, stirring Galfalor into action. The cloaked sorcerer engaged the two officers in a duel; the robots had ceased shooting as they were afraid to hit Galfalor. They dueled for several moments, though in the end Galfalor was too powerful for them: he stabbed downwards into each of their chests, killing them while Wan watched. Spears' body was launched into space at Seon Wan's command for all government forces to see.

Hubert Spears was a brave and selfless being — he risked his life for the government in both the Battle of Axis Base and the Battle of the Wasp. Even after the Wasp’s tractor beam pulled him and Laarni Sherman onto the Wasp, Spears did not give up, and bravely fought the wicked mutant. He also demonstrated his bravery during his time in Laos, when he almost singlehandedly brought peace to the country that had been ravaged by Americans. Spears was also extremely loyal to the government, the S.M.S.B., and the Mayor: he gave his life in an attempt to free the head of state, while many more senior-ranking officers retreated so that they could defend themselves. Hubert Spears was more martial than most police, and preferred to use his guns in battle. He wielded a gun during the Battle of Axis Base — effectively enough to survive the battle. Spears was also quick to brandish his weapon above New York City in 2029, and skillfully evaded the bullets from the Lemur's robots. Galfalor described the officer as a decent adversary, and more skilled than the ones she had encountered when taking Black, among them Ronald Coron, Barry Udd, Borris Moudana, and Seamus Malueg; in the end, however, he was not strong enough to survive the encounter with Galfalor and the Arcanus gravely injured him. Spears was also a skilled pilot — he was chosen along with the likes of Jason Williams, one of the best police pilots of the time, and Caleb Hawkins for the mission to rescue Mayor Black. He appears in *Sebiscuits: Dawn of Transcendence* and *D.I.T. One-Shot: X1's Mission*.

### **Spiddie T. Spider**

Spiddie the Spider, known to all as Spiddie T. Spider, is an ally of the Armies of Organa. As the spider hatched, hundreds of spiders descended upon the scene to witness it. The spider was first encountered near a garbage can where she was seeking rotten food. Blake named her Spiddie. Although Steven Thompson considered the name to be very uncreative, Spiddie loved it and decided to use it. Thompson gave Spiddie a spherical capsule and told her to bury it underground at her tunnel. He promised this bizarre action would make her dream career a possibility. Spiddie delightedly accepted the gift. Afterwards, Spiddie took the capsule home, being escorted by Vincent. Upon opening it, she found a diamond ring provided as the money she needed to begin her business. Eventually, Spiddie opened her business. The whimsical performances she gave off proved extremely popular and her emporium did a brisk business.

Spiddie resembles an enormous, jet-black arachnid with eight legs and eight black eyes, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk. She is a good crawler, which is how she gets around. Spiddie is a selfless and passive creature who despises the ways humans treat spiders like scum. She possessed the ability to smell particular aromas, as well as react to light, which also made her sensitive to odors. She does not speak and merely communicates through squeaks, but she is understood by mythical beings, such as Vincent Organa. She appears in *Boys vs. Girls: The Coming Darkness* and is mentioned in *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent*.

### **Denim Spikes**

"*The parents of poor Denim Spikes... killed as their son got buried in rubble.*"
―Summer Petersen[src]
Denim Spikes]] is a minor antagonist in *Boys vs. Girls: The Coming Darkness* and a supporting character in *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent*. During the Great Darkness, the Thunder Queen blew up Spikes' house, trapping him under rubble and killing his parents, leaving it unclear who raised him. On the last week of April in 2021, Spikes met a girl named Emily Watson at a graveyard, and she invited him to join the Girl-Team. Although he was initially unsure, Watson assured him that the world would be a much more welcoming place when the Girl-Team's ends were accomplished.

Emily Watson had been attempting for a while to track down and capture Summer Petersen in order to turn the girl to the cause of the Girl-Team. Watson rigged an art party that was supposed to happen at Tower Placement intending to lure Petersen there. Denim Spikes attacked several members of the Armies of Organa as Watson captured almost all the boys in the school and put Steven Thompson into a coma pit. Now they planned to reset it for Petersen. When she arrived, Spikes informed Rory, and the robot began tracking her progress along with Ursula Blackham and Ruby Walker.

Around the time of the Battle of the Bow-Tie, Spikes somehow learned Emily Watson's true motives, which involved the methodic genocide of members of both genders to balance the worlds, and was horrified to learn of this. Spikes chose to desert the Girl-Team and approach the Armies of Organa and ask for their forgiveness and willingness to allow him to serve them. Spikes was given this by Vincent Organa, just around the time Helen McKeen herself arrived at the house for very similar reasons. He chose to follow McKeen to Thunder Quarters, where he would disable the turbolaser, forcibly expose the Orc devil, and then help McKeen destroy Watson.

When Spikes arrived, he was confronted by his old friend, Ludwig Beethoven II, who engaged him at once after calling him a disappointment. Spikes used his laser sword to dodge Beethoven's bullets, missiles, and whips. They clashed in a titanic battle in the upper levels of the complex, culminating in Beethoven escaping aboard his personal ship. Spikes followed him and tracked the assassin to his house. When Beethoven discovered Denim’s presence, a dogfight over the city ensued, and although the two opponents seemed evenly matched at first, Beethoven had the upper hand when Denim leaped onto his ship for close combat. He immediately disarmed and killed him with two deterring bullets. Spikes' corpse fell hundreds of feet to the ground below.

Denim is a rather cocky, arrogant, impatient, tenacious, and quick-tempered pre-teenager. He originally desired to destroy the Armies of Organa for revenge, to the point they decided to join Emily Watson when she said she shared the same goal. However, Denim chose to betray the Girl-Team when he found out about her true goal, showing that he is willing to put aside his personal grudges for the greater good. Out of his relationships with the Girl-Team, his most complicated was with Ludwig Beethoven II. Ever since they first met, the two had constantly competed, fought, and taunted each other. Though this initially started out as hatred, their relationship eventually becomes a friendly rivalry and they became good friends and teammates through Denim serving the Girl-Team. Nevertheless, Ludwig was more loyal to Emily and he did not hesitate to fire at Denim and kill him upon learning of his defection.

### **Squeaker**

"*Class Pet ‘Squeaker’ Delights and Teaches*"
―Headline in Weekly Acorns, Vol. DCCCXIII #1[src]
Squeaker is a male sorpak, on loan from the Uranian Zoo to Tower Placement School in the United States of America on Earth. The sorpak was introduced to the school as a means of teaching students responsibility in caring for a pet, as well as learning about the biology and habits of the species. Students at the academy were encouraged to care for Squeaker at the academy’s care center, feeding him a preferred diet of live insects and keeping his soft fur clean. Squeaker quickly proved popular with most of the facility’s students, but suffered at the hands of two school bullies who tortured the creature by taking him for unauthorized “walks” and stuffing him in a school locker. Despite the abuse he suffered, he was allowed to return to the next school year. Squeaker first appeared in *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent* and was again featured in *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*. Helen McKeen, a female student in attendance at the facility, was excited about caring for Squeaker, as she had once visited Uranus and saw a number of sorpaks. Squeaker delighted the students at the school, who enjoyed taking care of him, and an article was written about him in the school newspaper, Weekly Acorns. The article described the class pet program, started by Helen, which offered the opportunity to study Squeaker’s behavior and mannerisms, while also learning about the diets and natural habitats of sorpaks. Helen was often assisted in caring for the voorpak by Steven Thompson, a sixth-grade student with something of a crush on her. Steven became fond of the sorpak despite being scared of the insects which made up Squeaker’s diet.

Caius Staunton and Ambrose Melling, two bullies in the same class as Helen and Steven, saw Squeaker merely as an opportunity for amusement. These two had often bullied other students at the academy, and extended their bullying to this defenseless animal. In the first semester of the school year, following a field trip, they poked at him with a pencil he initially seemed interested in stroking, causing him to hiss and puff out his fur, and threatened to hide him in someone’s locker. In the second semester, Summer Petersen, who had been struggling with her friendships, joined the two preteens while they took Squeaker for a “walk,” placing him on a leash and yanking him around in the dirt, despite it being against class rules to take him out of the care center. While Summer did not actively bully the creature, she did nothing to stop it. Helen and Josh Hogan, a male that had also been one of Summer’s friends, chastised them for having Squeaker out, but to no effect.

Soon afterward, *Weekly Acorns* reported that Squeaker had gone missing. Summer was suspected, but she was not the culprit. She suggested that Helen might have done it, given how much she much liked Squeaker. Despite her anger and dismay, Summer eventually made amends with Helen following a rough encounter in the gym. With Squeaker having been missing for around a week, she decided to try to rescue the sorpak. She had a hunch to look in Ambrose’s locker and discovered that the two bullies had made good on their threat, stuffing Squeaker in the locker and leaving a sharp-taloned lizard to keep him company. Fortunately, she knew how to hack past Ambrose’s combination and was able to rescue the hungry sorpak, but Josh discovered her with the creature and blamed her for what had happened. Summer, not willing to argue with him, went to tell Principal Zambaux what had happened, taking the blame for the theft herself. Zambaux planned on making her write a letter of apology to the Uranian Zoo, though Steven Thompson arrived and managed to successfully vouch for her by showing her something Ray had recorded on his phone as per the suggestion of his gossip-prone sorta-friend, Dustin. Being vindicated as a result, Summer embraced Steven and assured him she'd always be his close friend. At the end of the semester, Zambaux placed both Ambrose and Caius on academic suspension for the forthcoming second semester of the academic year because of the theft of Squeaker.

The following school year, Squeaker was again loaned out to Tower Placement School in spite of General Exotorn's disapproval. Helen was still fond of the creature and when Ambrose saw her carrying him in one of the school’s hallways, he teased her until Steven told him to take Josh Hogan's earlier advice about trying to aim for positivity. Summer continued spending time with the sorpak and felt that it was warming up to her and that it didn’t have anything to do with the extra treats she had been feeding him.

Squeaker was small and had a coat of soft orange and white fur. His eyes were a bluish-gray. Squeaker did not actually answer to the name Squeaker, but was responsive to cute noises. He was known to puff up and hiss when angry, but otherwise was largely passive and became somewhat worn down and weary following his abuse at the hands of Caius and Ambrose and a lizard. He possessed some intelligence, as he was able to learn tricks. He also cared for those took care of him and gave him treats. His favorite food was live insects.

### **Squeazy**

"*You be trespassers — intruders, spies. Worse of all, you are Human. Humans have always tried to destroy what animals have work so hard to built.*"
―Squeazy[src]
Squeazy is an alien and a loyal ally of the S.M.S.B. He would constantly be expecting the worst to happen, but always encouraged everyone to "wash it out with a bold face." He was distrustful of humans and strangers, although his misgivings were not often wrongly placed. Squeazy lived in Asia. Apparently, he had some rough relations with mankind, and generally distrusted them, later claiming that Humans *"have always tried to destroy what animals work so hard to built"*.

He first encountered Master Intelligence during the Asian Revolution. Squeazy accused him of being a trespasser and spy, surprising Master Intelligence. Despite this rough start, Squeazy eventually assisted the S.M.S.B. on their revolution, becoming fiercely loyal by the time of the skirmish in the Palace of Despair. At the palace, Squeazy was forced into the dungeon with Master Intelligence, Telekinibabe, and Captain Strength, where they found Wesley Carrier, who had been captured. Lindsay Kellerman was kept upstairs and tortured by Link, her screams reducing Squeazy to tears. The group was saved by George Thames II, who was sent by Rocken Role. He freed Squeazy and the S.M.S.B. members to run upstairs to save Lindsay, who did not know the whereabouts of Shao Mou. Squeazy disarmed Mella Mou after she avoided a chandelier dropped by Thames, rushing to join the others, and everyone Deteleported to Rocken Role's home. They stayed there with Carrier and Role. He attended the burial of George Thames II.

It is unknown where he was during the Attack at the Acquisition District. A few years later, Squeazy and his friends breached the *Defilement,* which was at the time forbidden. Using his powers, Sqeuazy employed *Exposure* to open the door. During the Showdown in the MBH, he successfully interrupted the Dark Flame's attack. When the Dark mutant turned to notice him, Squeazy announced his undivided faith in the Light. After that battle, Lindsay Kellerman, who was now officially in charge of the S.M.S.B., made Squeazy an official member of their group, something Master Intelligence had long denied the creature.

Squeazy is described as an eternal, cheerful pessimist. His frontmost trait is his habit for expecting disaster in nearly every situation, and indeed assuming the worst in everyone, something the other S.M.S.B. members find depressing and irritating. Despite this, Squeazy is remarkably courageous and resilient, especially in the face of danger. Squeazy's most prominent trait is an unshakeable faith in the forces of good. Funny and clever to a fault, Squeazy also has a distrust of human beings, though he later learns to overcome it. Squeazy possesses the power of *Exposure*, though it is unknown what else he is capable of. Of course, this may be his signature power (like Lindsay, who warps the third dimension, and Baby Strength, who has a lot of muscle). He discovered Power Combos of his own, such as the Patented Daydream, which would give him a highly-realistic thirty-minute daydream. Side effects included mild drooling and a vacant expression. He appears in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Inferno Relit* and the currently unreleased *Vault of Ages: Cosmic War*.

### **Caius Staunton**

Caius Staunton is a student who attended Tower Placement School in the early 2020s. Although he was a skilled student, he was nonetheless a bully and a troublemaker. He and Ambrose Melling were rarely seen outside the company of each other and together the two took pleasure in bullying their fellow students at Tower Placement, though they particularly took to bullying Steven. The two were sometimes joined in their bullying by a female student named Pansy; Ambrose reluctantly agreed that she could join them due to Caius' history with her. The two both posted disparaging comments on Facebook, leading Zambaux to shut down student access to it for a time. They both tortured the class pet Squeaker, resulting in the two being placed on academic probation for the next semester and being denied access to Facebook even after it was restored to the other students later on. Following the attack on Pleasant Grove, Ambrose seemed resolved to prove himself as a model student and displayed none of his past bad behavior. Caius became enraged and jealous of Steven Thompson and hence befriended Tom Goyle, despite initially finding him to be extremely annoying. Caius also knew his parents were refusing to disclose to him that they were on the brink of divorce. Towards the end of the year, Caius participated in the First Battle of Tower Placement and encountered Steven during the fighting, and the two made up; the two seemed to depart on neutral terms. However, he was mentioned in *Zachary Brown* to be helping other students in his later education.

Throughout his education, Caius Staunton appeared to be vulgar, hateful, vile and bitter. He would mock students for fun and play practical jokes on them for no reason other than spite. He was deeply insecure and fearful deep down. He was also intelligent. Caius also had a tendency to pick on Steven Thompson, though they later made up. He desperately clung to his friends, especially Ambrose Melling and Pansy, and was also angered when Ambrose lost his ambition to bully other students. As such, he spent most of his time with Tom Goyle. During this, Caius proved he was also sadistic, dependent, and seductive.

### **Carl Steele**

Carl Steele is a member of the Police Grand Army and a major character in the second half of the original The Super Babies Saga. He became a great Crodela fan at the age of seven, and cheered for the Black Demolitions. Eventually, he joined the Meditation Office under Victoria Blossom.

With the onset of Operation: Purge, Carl somehow survived the massacre and went into hiding with the rest of the Police Grand Army. During this time, he began dating Victoria Blossom, who had been obsessed with him for over a year. Shortly after Baby Intelligence and the S.M.S.B. curried the favor of the Police Grand Army, Carl met him, who found the officer to be *"delightful"*. He fought in the Battle of the Golden Gates, a fight which the Grand Army actually won. In the aftermath, Carl introduced the superhero to his girlfriend, Blossom. Steele and Blossom were married in May of 2030. He fought in the Battle of the Eastern Field, during which he eventually found Victoria Blossom, and together they realized that Wesley the Worm was about to stab Sheriff Bladepoint from behind. When Carl pointed this out, Blossom shot him. Shortly afterwards, Carl attended the funeral of Sheriff Bladepoint, where he comforted a sobbing Victoria and let his wife whisper things in his ear. His fate after the war is a mystery.

Carl Steele was a tall and extremely handsome young man with chiselled features, dark brown hair, and bright green eyes. Because of his handsomeness, Carl caught attention from certain girls at the Sanctuary, and even Baby Intelligence was taken with his appearance. Victoria Blossom was notably obsessed with him for a time. Generally polite, sweet, and well-mannered, Carl is easy to get along with and was a popular member of the Police Grand Army, with several friends and many girls who admired him for his extreme beauty (including Victoria Blossom). Carl was presumably intelligent and humble. He was also an avid Crodela fan (having supported the Black Demolitions since he was seven years old) and a good athlete. He was also loyal and brave, having been loyal to the Black Demolitions for many years as opposed to jumping the bandwagon, joining the Grand Army in defiance with the NoHeads, and fighting at the Golden Gates and the Eastern Field. Carl Steele was a great fan of the Demolitions Crodela team and showed his support by owning and wearing one of their jerseys. During the Second NoHead War, Carl Steele began dating a woman named Victoria Blossom, who was extremely taken with him. He initially did not return her romantic feelings, but after several months, his feelings for her became much softer. The two always seemed to enjoy their time together. Carl and Victoria married in May 2030 and set up a home of their own. He comforted her during Sheriff Bladepoint's funeral.

A variant of him exists in Mutantry-4444, who was around in 2030 when the Police Grand Army was fragmented because Annabeth Black had skillfully persuaded several of their leaders to side with her. With his wife's leaders serving what he had been working so hard to undo, Steele joined many members in leaving in disgrace.

### **Stella**

"*A gift from Ichabod, in place of money owed to me. She and Ella came as a pair, but I made Ella a present to Black in the hope of smoothing over our lingering rivalry. My first mistake. The second: introducing Stella to Rono Treblam, who would move continents to possess her.*"
―Zira Miranda Grover, on Stella[src]

"*Stella. A singer in a band.*"
―Zira Miranda Grover, introducing William to Stella[src]
Stella was a female singer originally in the custody of Ichabod Lawson. Named for the elite group of singers, Stella's parents were killed while she was still a child, but she continued to serve her master until custody over her was transferred to Zira Miranda Grover, Ichabod's business rival. Zira would take her to varied public events, such as skyraces. At one of these gatherings, Stella met gambler Rono Treblam, who was actually the owner of New York city's Globes Opera House. Though Treblam suffered a great financial loss at the skyrace of 2022 that Valarie had hosted, he took a great deal of interest in the woman, seeing that she had untapped singing talent. When he had recuperated his losses in the following year, he purchased Stella from Zira, and took her back to New York, where he hoped she would perform as an opera singer in his theater. Stella, however, did not know of Treblam's intent, and instead decided to rob him, before escaping his custody. Keeping a low profile, she made a living singing at varying nightclubs in America's less reputable districts.

Stella was born to a pair of slaves in the custody of Ichabod Lawson during the 1970s. Though the man tended to "collect" such slaves as her parents, he forbade fraternization between slaves. Ichabod discovered the child and the fact that the slaves had been fraternizing, but decided to let Stella live, should she bear the fabled operatic skills of her heritage. In that case, Ichabod decided that it would be financially wise to keep Stella as a singer. Ichabod, however, became indebted to his rival, the Maryland-based politician Zira Miranda Grover, and was forced to sell both Stella and Ella to the other leader.

Zira gave Ella away to Aurora Black, but she kept Stella for her personal band. She would take her to the skyraces, where, in her private box in the Grand Arena, she would meet Zira's fellow gamblers, such as Albert Herrington[*citation needed*], Grendol Kelvin, and Rono Treblam. After Zira stopped supporting skyraces, she used Stella to bribe Valarie by allowing her to accompany her to skyraces in return for her cooperation. Treblam, being the owner of the New York Opera House in New York City, took particular interest in Stella. The woman took note of the fact that Treblam's interests in her were not of the carnal type, but far more sophisticated. In about 2021, Stella traveled with Zira, her assistant Jim Newman and his security chief Epher Vos to a holdout near Niagara Falls, where the dictator held a business meeting with the influential industrialist William. Stella later accompanied Valarie to the skyrace of 2022 and Rono Treblam suffered a huge financial loss during the event, after he bet on the racer Rose. The racer was soundly beaten by fellow competitor Ludwig Beethoven II, forcing Treblam to leave Utah and return to New York. He promised, however, to return to Stella the following year.

In 2023, Treblam stayed true to his promise and purchased, and freed Stella from Zira, who did not recognize her true talent and had lost interest in the woman. Treblam had recovered from his losses in the previous year, and hoped to cast Stella in a small role for an upcoming musical to be played at Globes. He brought her back to New York to study and perform at Globes, but mere hours after debarking, Stella fled the New Yorker's custody, taking her emancipation datawork and some of Treblam's minor valuables. Adopting a stage name, she worked in America's more seedy locales, singing at nightclubs and casinos in various mid-levels. It was a legitimate career, but likely a far cry from the success she would have enjoyed in Treblam's custody.

Stella had pale-colored skin and red hair, and she wore a revealing crop-top during the skyrace of 2022. Growing up in a harsh environment as a slave, Stella developed a highly suspicious persona, as most who took interest in her as an adult were not interested in any kind of musical talent she might possess. When she did come across someone who took interest, she continued to harbor the thought that his intentions were not strictly honorable, and fled his custody at first opportunity, despite Treblam's generosity. She appears in *League of Red Stars*.

### **Stick Boy**

Stick Boy was a member of the Time Army until he defected from the evil of Jamboga the Unholy. A Stick Figure, he was a very simple drawing of a person or animal, composed of a few lines, curves, and dots. In a stick figure, the head was represented by a circle, embellished with details such as eyes and a mouth. The arms, legs and torso are represented by straight lines. Details such as hands, feet and a neck were present as well. The early years of his life were not easy for Stick Boy; he found it extremely difficult to fit in, which embittered him enough to join the Time Army and try to kill Vincent Organa. However, all it took was one talk and he was convinced to reject the dark path for good, helping the Justice Circle defeat Jamboga. Being nearly two-dimensional, Stick Boy can easily avoid attacks, travel through narrow spaces or flat surfaces such as paper to avoid enemy attacks or detection. Additionally, when he looked at three-dimensional objects, he perceived them as two-dimensional cross sections of said objects.

### **Superhero School Dyad**

 File:Wallofportraits.jpg
 File:Vada2.jpg
The Superhero School Dyad consisted of two mutants who established Superhero School during the medieval era, in the 9th century. These two founders are widely described as being the most brilliant mutants of the time and were named Caesar Revanen and Valarie Lethletera. They laid the foundations for the largest and most prestigious mutant school in North America. They were once very close friends, but Revanen opposed Lethletera when she later thought that they should not accept Neurodivergent students at Superhero School.

A fair man, Revanen believed that any child who displayed mutant abilities before their 7th birthday should be able to attend Superhero School. Caesar valued courage and bravery, believing these were the two most virtuous abilities a person can possess. Said to be one of "two most brilliant mutants of the time", Caesar Revanen founded Superhero School in his adulthood, with his friend Valarie Lethletera, though he later severed ties with her. Revanen is said to have praised courage, determination and strength of heart above all other qualities. Indeed, he selected students for his house based upon their daring and bravery, according to Thomas Meyer. He also in high favor of allowing Neurodivergents into the school. Revanen was initially a close friend of Valarie Lethletera, but over time their friendship deteriorated. After a number of years of working peacefully together, Lethletera eventually grew apart from her fellow founder due to her distrust of Neurodivergents, and her belief that they should not be accepted into Superhero School. When Lethletera failed to convince Revanen to accept her ideas, she chose to leave the school.

Sly and cunning, Lethletera believed strongly that only mutants devoid of any mental impurities should be allowed to attend Superhero School. Lethletera caused great dispute over this with Revanen, the two possibly had a duel, and it eventually caused a permanent rift with him, which led to Lethletera's departure from the school. Before she left, however, she created the Legions of Metta. Almost a thousand years later, Lethletera's admirer, Mr. Stupid NoHead, would seek to fulfill his desires of banishing neurodivergents from Superhero School, and exterminating them. She was the best friend of Caesar Revanen before the rift occurred and her left Superhero School. In the mix, Lethletera met the evil Lady Xamera somehow, and she discreetly assisted her in recruiting aspiring students to join her and become the first Knights of Metta under the pair. It was specifically created for the purpose of purging the school of all Neurodivergent students. Lethletera chose to leave the school eventually, where she could support Xamera openly and assist in training the students.

After Superhero School was built, the founders co-existed peacefully for many years. Eventually, however, the pressure from Lethletera to admit only neurotypical mutants affected Caesar greatly. Lethletera finally left Superhero School following a massive argument with Revanen over the issue, and she never returned. Unbeknownst to Revanen, his former friend created an army to try and purge the school of Neurodivergents.

Caesar Revanen valued courage, determination, chivalry, and strength of heart, and was described as one of the most brilliant mutants of his time. He was also tolerant and accepting of Neurodivergents, and of mentally disabled children, a point which brought about the end of his friendship with Valarie Lethletera. He was a very intelligent and sophisticated wielder of numerous mutated practices, being considerably forward thinking, as well as clever and creative, in addition to being deceitful enough to perpetuate the myth that a man as powerful and acclaimed as Merlin had wronged him.

Valarie Lethletera was described as an ancient and grizzled woman with long hair that fell almost to the bottom of her sweeping robes. Her hair was greyish-black in color. Valarie Lethletera was known to possess great cunning and determination, qualities she prized in students of Superhero School. At one point, Professor Binne refers to her as “power-hungry mutant”. She seemed to stop at nothing to get what she wanted; this was proven when she constructed the Knights of Metta to help her purge Neurodivergents, despite the fact that Caesar Revanen disagreed with her beliefs. Lethletera is said to be one of the greatest mutants of her age, with extensive abilities, particularly in possession. Other traits of hers include cunning, perseverance, ambition, and resourcefulness. Valarie Lethletera was one of the earliest recorded people capable of creating wormholes and used this ability against her opponents. She passed this trait on to her descendants.

### **Supermaul**

"Armies of Organa: The Evolution of Tumult *– by Trevor Bones, best-selling author of* Supermaul: King or Knave?.'**"**
―Cover of *Armies of Organa: The Evolution of Tumult*[src]
Supermaul is a former superhero and the former principal of Superhero School and one of the most distinguished by far. He was born in 1638, and graduated Superhero School at the age of eighteen in 1655. What he did after his graduation is undisclosed, although Supermaul seemed to have been held in high regard in his old age, since was he eventually were chosen and offered the job of being principal of Superhero School in the early twentieth century, although it is implied that he took up a teaching post prior to this appointment.

In his position, he was responsible for the employment of Saunders, Superquack, Harold Gumma, Silva Poolsworth, Miranda Butterfield, and Trey Mortemore as teachers at Superhero School. During 1930s, Supermaul received students and Professor Ranita Dorad from Vastelobrux, the Brazilian mutant school, during an exchange visit. In 1944, Harold Gumma, then-Language Arts master, proposed an adaptation of *A Hoop of Halloween* as a Halloween treat for both staff and students. The show, however, was a fiasco, so Principal Supermaul imposed a blanket ban on future pantomimes, a tradition is still followed by the Superhero School’s staff and students to this day. Under Superquack’s request, Ruby Wright was trained as Gate Guard and was allowed to remain at the school after graduation.

Principal Supermaul’s term as principal ended between April 1956 and April 1958. His immediate successor in the post was Professor Superquack, who had been Supermaul’s Deputy Principal and gym teacher. Before his death, the principal visited Charity Hirz and asked for her permission to use her Pit of Holograms. Hirz approved, and Supermaul delved into the hologram pit, leaving behind everything he knew. Hirz offered to "censor" some of his flaws, but Supermaul would not have it, expressing that he was honor-bound to give advice to the current Principal, regardless of his personal feelings, showing that Principal Supermaul possessed an unyielding desire to serve the school and professional integrity. Before he left, Hirz promised to remove anything too personal, though it would be impossible for her to remove three centuries of memories. In doing this, he effectively ensured he in some capacity could continue to posthumously serve the school by sharing his knowledge with his successors in office as a final service to his beloved school. Supermaul died in late 2020 as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. The prominence of Supermaul’s tenure as principal is highlighted by the fact that he even got a Holocard made in his effigy, due to his work as chief administrator of Superhero School. After Supermaul's death, Hirz edited a good portion of the memories within the Pit of Holograms, and generally presented Supermaul as very dignified and solemn-looking, attired in long, majestic robes of blue and bronze.

Principal Supermaul had brown, leathery skin that was beginning to pale out, purple eyes and, in his youth, a thick blue beard. In his elderly years, he became frail and feeble-looking. He was balding and had only a few wisps of white hair left. Apparently, Supermaul was a very proud man who for the most part held himself with dignity and solemnity at all but the most trying of times, in which case he would over time look very feeble and tired after having to cope with such troubles at his age. Very loyal to Superhero School, Principal Supermaul gave a certain impression of holding the school in higher regard than he did even his staff, as he was very distrusting of others, and Superquack, his Head of Gymnastics, noted that he was one of few people that Principal Supermaul confided in. He was also a man of tradition. During his time as Principal, Supermaul was apparently a disciplinarian who was by no means above severely punishing anyone who might pose a potential breach in the security of the school, be it student or staff. However, he was not feared by his students, but seen as revered and very capable in his own right, and ultimately a man dedicated to the protection and preservation of the school and all its inhabitants and did not take the safety of his students lightly, and his success as head of the school is shown by his depiction on a Famous Mutants Card solely in homage to his long and faithful service to the school as Principal. All in all, Principal Supermaul was a wise, well-meaning if somewhat strict administrator.

### **Superwoman**

Superwoman was a superhero gifted with the superpowers of flight, and possibly other powers. She is also Morgan's mother. She began attending Superhero School in her youth and was grouped into Class E. In her sixth year, she met Hayden and the two of them fell in love. Several years later, she took her Teleportation test twice, having Teleported on top of an old lady doing her shopping five miles south of her intended destination the first time. In her adulthood, Superwoman married Hayden, and they gave birth to an incredibly powerful mutant named Morgan. The two undertook many superhero-related operations. Superwoman died in 2003 due to a cape malfunction with an airplane. She pulled a commercial jet airliner out of a steep dive. She prepared to leave, but then her cape was caught in the #2 jet turbine, pulling her in and killing her.

Superwoman's death traumatized Morgan, leading her to refuse to install capes on the supersuits she made. A new girl took up her mantle, used her alias, and dressed in her likeness. This new Superwoman was contacted by Mr. Tutusymbol, who recruited her to take down the Dinobot 2000 in 2018. After a fierce battle, the Dinobot, as well as Mr. Tutusymbol and his master, Mr. Baby Tutu, thought they had killed Superwoman's successor. They were wrong, however, and this new Superwoman was able to sneak away from the island. She was subsequently marked on their computer as "killed".

From her daughter's account about her, Superwoman is well known for her compassion and selflessness and lack of hesitance to risk her neck to save a group of innocent passengers, which inadvertently cost her her life. Superwoman is capable of flight and had the physical strength required to pull an airplane out of a dive.

### **Super Whisk Man**

Super Whisk Man is a superhero. In 1899 Super Whisk Man got the chicken pox. Although he was not contagious, not many approached him. Superquack, however, looked past that and befriended him during their first day at Superhero School. Super Whisk Man believed that their mutual attraction was due to the fact that they both felt that they had a lot in common. Super Whisk Man moved to stop an unidentified villain on an island. Although he managed to stop him, Super Whisk Man's cape then caught on the fin of an outbound missile, tearing the mutant right out of his boots and gauntlets and killing him. According to Superquack, Super Whisk Man was "not the brightest bulb." However, given they were friends, and the reason he said it, he probably didn't mean it.

### **Harriet Swenson**

Madam Harriet Swenson is an old and wealthy aristocrat and avid genealogist who greatly enjoyed studying the history of her family and the aunt of Bertha Swenson. Not much is known of Harriet's early life, but as an older woman, she befriended the young mutant Roger Black during one of her visits to Markrivond's. After Harriet showed Black to her home, Black killed her. Because her butler Eli, was very forgetful, no one doubted that he did the crime. Smith befriended Roger Black, who claimed to be a bounty hunter, doting upon him to the extent of having an apparent attraction to him. While Black was visiting her at work, she took him to her house, Swenson Quarters. When she finished the tour, she caught a glimpse of the greedy greenish gleam in his eyes, which caused her "foolish smile" and obsessive admiration of the boy to momentarily falter. Two days later, she was found dead. Black was never suspected; Smith's goblin butler, Eli, confessed to having brought a Mercury Flytrap home that he had forgotten to seal.

Harriet was avid about her genealogy, studying it obsessively. She was also very proud, to the point that she never shared secrets with anyone she was close to. However, she was at times unintelligent, as she foolishly showed off her home to Roger Black, whose ancestors had lost Transylvania Quarters to the Swensons, nor that he was someone who would harm her to take the mansion for himself. Highly infatuated with Black's façade of a polite and handsome young man, Harriet was completely oblivious to the dark, greedy look on his face, until the last moment she saw him, at which even she could not ignore the greenish gleam in his eyes. She was also very conceited, and believed that she was a beautiful woman, something Lindsay Kellerman believed she was far from.

### **Tabahelma**

Tabahelma is a wise old alien called on by the Empress, Lily Clark, through a letter promising him a special job. Visiting Clark for further information, Tabahelma was informed that Clark was training Charlien personally and instructed him in the ways of martial arts, despite her own skills "going somewhat dry". Tabahelma was requested by his Empress to complete Charlien's training. Lily Clark promised him five thousand dollars per month to do this. Immediately thinking of his needy family, Tabahelma readily obliged from there. As he began teaching Charlien, Empress Clark resumed position on her throne. Tabahelma had grey eyes and brown skin.

### **Brianna Taylor**

Brianna Taylor is a brightener for the Galloping Grenades. Apparently, she befriended Indiana Shaffer, a fellow player who was several years older than Taylor. In January of 2030, Taylor played in her first official seasonal game against the Holy Mackerels along with her team. Taylor ruthlessly flashed Baby Intelligence by catching him by surprise, setting his legs ablaze and making flying difficult. Taylor flashed him again, lightning up his torso but keeping his arms intact, and was cut off by a roaring Indiana Shaffer. The team ultimately won the match.

When Baby Intelligence made it obvious that the NoHeads were grouping near the Eastern Field, Taylor and Shaffer both offered to accompany him and fight, leading Force Baby to point out that "the Grenades definitely aren't bad people". During the final match in June of 2030, Taylor played against the Holy Mackerels once again. The match was loaded with brutal play, and when the Galloping Grenades scored a goal, Taylor tried to flash Alejandro Bermudez, but then Eric Cuell grabbed Taylor by the collar until she wriggled out of his grip. As a result, Clinton awarded Taylor a penalty. The Grenades ultimately lost the game and thus never received the Cup.

Brianna Taylor has short brown hair that looks rather messy and violet eyes. One part of her dark brown hair is a lighter shade of brown. She seems to be very serious-minded, which Baby Strength describes as "a Grenade trait". She seemed to be friendly with Indiana Shaffer. She could be insensitive of others at times, though she has also shown to be very brave, as exemplified when she was the only Grenade who expressed interest in fighting NoHeads at the inevitable Battle of the Eastern Field. Brianna Taylor was a skilled Crodela player. She made the team as a brightener at the age of thirteen, which was a very difficult position to acquire. While several Grenades arguably surpassed her in skill, she was still persistent and strong enough to force Cuell off of her before anyone else could interfere.

### **Max Tegan**

Max Tegan is the leader of Sanct Security and a renowned scientist and security officer who opposes mutants and desires to exterminate them from the face of Sol. With mutantkind having been revealed to be living among Fobbles for two hundred years, Tegan felt deeply antagonized by their presence in the open and hypothesized the impending extinction of the human race. His early theories were ridiculed by his contemporaries and even with no one to fund his research, Tegan cared enough about humanity to invest in the usurpation of Sanct Security in 1989. However, its purpose of security masked its true intentions of wiping out all mutants. After the NoHead Empire became an established fact, Tegan and his organization ordered a group of assassins to murder Dorphane Giles. The attack was preceded by the Emperor was kidnapped by members of Sanct Security, which the Chief Enforcer had made sure would occur. To this end, she used Tegan as a witness and acknowledged the Emperor as an acquaintance in public. As Giles focused he efforts to foil the kidnapping attempt and use it to locate Tegan, she was not aware that Sage Preston was preparing a second attack against her. When the Sun Guards discovered that Tegan was hosting a party in the Gran Protectorate Embassy, Mr. Stupid NoHead set out to kill him. He slaughtered everyone in eyesight, including the guests that Tegan had invited to a feast. Leaving Tegan for last, he set fire to a floor-to-ceiling curtain under which the man had taken refuge, killing him. The Imperial Police were unable to find any culprits behind Tegan's demise. He was eventually succeeded by Jenna Russell, whom he had worked closely with for years.

As the leader of Sanct Security, Max Tegan presented himself as a benevolent, noble, caring, and generous businessman and altruist who was committed to protecting humanity's interests. However, his brilliant public persona hides his true personality. In truth, Tegan is a ruthless, arrogant, obsessed, amoral, and genocidal xenophobe. Trask sees the evolution of mutants as the greatest threat to human race, believing that as time passes and more mutants are born they will eventually eradicate all those who don’t have powers like them. Because of this darwinistic mindset, Tegan views himself as a righteous soul who is doing whatever is necessary to save his species from extinction against a growing threat. In his attempts to eradicate mutantkind, Tegan makes not only amoral decisions, but also shortsighted ones as well, being willing to sell his nefarious designs to communist dictatorships, who could have used such technology for their own gains, which could have made Tegan responsible for new wars that killed millions of Fobbles instead of mutants. This shows that Tegan was willing to sacrifice thousands, if not millions, of humans if it meant ensuring the existence of the human race as a whole.

Tegan also seems to have a bit of an ego as well. Like Russell, he is shown to look down on other humans who don’t share her viewpoint about mutants, viewing them as naive, foolish, and cowardly, showing that he sees himself as always correct and in the right, revealing his self-righteousness and lack of regard for others beliefs and opinions. Despite his amoral actions, prejudice against mutants, and intentions of genocide, Tegan does sincerely believe that his actions would save humanity from extinction and would ensure both an end to senseless wars and the foundation a new peaceful era for Sol.

### **George Thames**

George Thames I is a neurotypical non-mutate who came from a long line of blacksmiths who had operated in Merchant Park since his earliest ancestors arrived in Sardinia and set up stall (subsequently shop) to sell to ancient Mediterranean mutants. He was the son of Ian Thames, and the father of George Thames II. During the course of his career as a blacksmith, George Thames I became an expert in weapon lore and supplied many mutants and homo sapiens with reliable weapons. Shortly before the 1980–81 school year, Thames sold an exosword to Jesse O'Hara. In 2022, George Thames I was interrogated by Charity Hirz for information regarding her sudden drain in mutantry and where the Cuffs of Energy were. The interrogation was successful. He was left to his devices, unharmed but badly shaken. Later that year, he gave birth to a son, who he named after himself, during the height of Lily Elazar's war.

George Thames had pale skin and dark eyes. A man of great intellect, he possessed a great deal of skill as a blacksmith. He showed deep fear of Charity Hirz's wrath. He was also compassionate, as he took pity on Nagatha and adopted her, not knowing who the snake really was. George Thames, just as other Thames family members, was considered as the best American blacksmith. Thames was also a good businessman, being able to operate and manage his own sword shop for a long time.

### **George Thames III**

George Thames III is the son of George Thames II. He took over from his father as the owner of Thames Metalle in the 2080s.

### **The Else**

 File:The else.jpg
The Else was a personal vizier and impersonator and sometimes even a decoy to the Magistrate of the International Alliance after being discovered by agents when she had been down on her luck and with a serious eating disorder. With her real name lost to history, she eventually underwent an agonizing and life-threatening transformation that rendered her a metahuman, granting her powers of hypercognition. Between her services and duties, The Else would spend her time in the company of male bodyguards functioning doubly as her prostitutes within her own personal, luxurious chamber, scarcely wandering far and enjoying an endless supply of food which she kept in easy reach at all times. She never exercised, either, spending almost all of her time on her dais. The Else, due to her considerable mass, planted herself on her dais, never rising from it, even to walk since her squad would pick her up and carry her, taking her around the Royal Palace of the Magistrate. The Else also spent much of her time reading.

The Else was still around during the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, and she met Corey Deidrick when he arrived in the mansion with Melinoe Gregorio and their ruler. She remained there during the School War, during which time the Magistrate requested the Boy-Team help her find her son in exchange for support during the war. She had dispatched a group of bounty hunters who tracked her son to a remote dungeon, but none of them came back alive. Emily Watson and the Girl-Team kidnapped the Magistrate's son, allowed Steven Thompson and Angela Grace to get him back, and employed lies and an all-out assault to get him back and to curry the monarch’s favor. Ultimately, the Boy-Team proved victorious and eventually brought Eegan before the Else so they could speak with the Magistrate, with the Else being the one who was speaking with them on behalf of the Magistrate. She assured them that they had just earned the Magistrate’s trust for a time, however, the Magistrate’s army was spread too thinly to support a war in Iraq, which was previously Persia. The Else asserted that therefore, her ruler's army could not help the Boy-Team.

As a herald and sometimes even decoy to the Magistrate, the Else is a strikingly and chillingly beautiful woman. Per the Magistrate's wishes, she rarely ever exercised except on the extremely rare occasions that nobody was available to carry her off her dais. Her personal squad guided her around her palace, and while she sat in comfort, eating sweets and gaining weight, its members did all her physical tasks. Now she had blonde, long hair, blue, gleaming eyes, and a huge, tightly bloated midriff. She usually wore dark blue robes with a golden brooch inching from the edge of the cloak hanging flat against her breasts, fastened just below her collarbone. The back of the cloak collar sat slightly higher than the fancy tunic's collar in the back. She also wore purple sandals. Her corpulent belly and lack of muscle were both results of her eating sweets constantly, as well as four rich meals a day. She was defenseless on her own, instead relying on her squad to get what she wanted. The Else was nearly six feet tall and weighed 139 kilograms. The Else was extremely loyal to the Magistrate, as well as a powerful and intimidating individual. Additionally, she used her beauty and comparison of the Magistrate's hypercognition-boosted demeanor to something goddess-like in order to cause the Magistrate's other allies and servants to respect her, to varying degrees of success. The Else would do anything she possibly could to serve and please the Magistrate, to the point of becoming intensely angry with anyone who apparently disrespected her ruler. The Else was sharp-tongued and pompous and had a tendency to emulate the behavior of her interlocutors.

Having been recruited by the International Alliance to impersonate the Magistrate, The Else was allowed to reside in this resort located in Washington D.C., Maryland, which had belonged to her employer. When she was not actively on duty, she would enjoy the luxuries the resort offered, including food and men, who provided protection and pleasure. Eventually, The Else was discovered in the resort by Steven Thompson and Summer Petersen and the three departed on friendly terms. She appears in *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent* and *Boys vs. Girls 2*.

### **Lewis Thicke**

 File:F 67015.jpg
Lewis Thicke originally joined the U.S. Government as a member of the Pentagon, where he became a hardened veteran, spending most of his life fighting Dark mutants. Eventually he rose to become Mayor in the 2040s. During the events leading up to the Battle of Jupiter, he became was appointed in 2037 to succeed President Robbie Evans as President of the United States. With Hell Burnbottom finally into the open and declaring open war on the communities, it forced the community to unite and call for Evans' resignation. Mark Gobard replaced Thicke as Head of the Pentagon. Soon after, Thicke made a speech to the the government and the *Perpetual Seer* about "dark times", and trying to better to protect America from dark mutants better then the previous year, as the government under Robbie Evans had denied any evidence of Burnbottom's return and branded Master Intelligence and Lindsay Kellerman liars for saying the opposite.

He still served the government after Troy Valdez became the new President. While Percy was guarding the Court of Domination, he was attacked by the Gladiator's cyborg, Augustus Salt. Andromeda, who was able to view the events in her sleep, told Lewis Thicke about the vision. In response, Thicke sent his assistant to sound the alarm, and personally ensured that Percy would be admitted to the hospital. Thicke had yellowish hair, hazy eyes, and pale skin.

### **Jacob Tholme**

"*Never had Xydarone seen such a man. He was thin and gaunt, with sweeping black hair that went down to his shoulders.*"
―Zydarone's description of Tholme[src]Jacob Tholme was a man who opened a combat school on Mars. Throughout the majority of his childhood, Jacob Tholme attended karate classes, and earned a black belt more quickly than anyone else in his classes. It is briefly implied that he also did well in school. He possessed an unusual high level of knowledge of training techniques.

After graduation, Jacob Tholme became a Sensei and trained any students who were willing to pay for his lessons, and was quite successful, operating in KKTC. After he himself accidentally set KKTC on fire, Jacob Tholme escaped with two students and the profits he had earned from teaching. However, before he could go back for the others, the flaming building collapsed, and the rest of the students died. Jacob Tholme was cast out of the city in disgrace for rescuing the money before his students, without even giving him a trial. Under extreme pressure, Tholme retreated, fleeing to Mars and going into hiding. Here, he found a broken down house that was so old-fashioned and messy that no one could possibly live there. Tholme was able to clean up the house, and chose to take residence there. Here, he rebuilt KKTC as a modest training academy.

Opening a combat school on Mars, Jacob Tholme taught combat privately in his gym, and espionage in secret in the basement. While running the gym, he encountered a young man named Sectumre and offered to train him and raise him as his own. Although Sectumre agreed to this, Tholme realized he would have to kill his parents to ensure Sectumre could leave safely. He did this successfully, and he and Sectumre fled to the Sensei's training academy. Less than a month later, he also found a girl named Xydarone IV in New York City and offered to adopt and train her. Xydarone agreed, as did her parents. Tholme waited as Xydarone said her final goodbye to her family, and then left with his new student. Xydarone's thoughts dwelt upon her parents for several days afterwards. From there, he began training her to be the perfect weapon, along with the rest of his cadre of students, whilst secretly killing anyone she became attached to so that they could not hold her back. He did not kill Sectumre or Xydarone's parents, however. Jacob Tholme had always taken a special light to her, giving her special treatment, which made Sectumre jealous. After her training was complete, Xydarone IV soon became famous for her work. Jacob Tholme sent her on several errands and missions, whilst requiring her to spend an hour every day practicing in the training room. When he realized that Xydarone had become overweight due to her poor dieting, he offered to help her lose weight. However, Xydarone thought people would be more likely to underestimate her if she did not look as physically fit, and as such, she declined. Tholme also continued training Sectumre. Eventually, Sectumre graduated, and Xydarone began working independently as a mercenary, leaving him to run his school.

Jacob Tholme was described as being gaunt and slender. His black hair went down to his shoulders. He considered caring for one's physical appearance a futility. However, his looks and behavior were not unanimously approved within the attendants of KKTC. Xydarone once commented (behind Tholme's back) that her master looked neglected "like a wild animal" and exhaled a foul body odor reminiscent of that of a buffalo. Jacob Tholme was a very skilled and formidable man, with a considerably high level of intelligence. He was also very ambitious and determined, and did not usually break his promises. When he said he would do something, he did it, even if it was at his own peril. Both before his escape to Mars and after, Tholme showed a sort of kindness rare for one who had been through as much as he. He took a level of personal pride in helping out the students he was training, and although he attempted to do away with any emotional connections, he grew very close to Xydarone. It is also revealed later on that his concern for the money over most of the other students was not so, as he had made one simple yet fateful error.

### **Thompson family**

#### **Gregory Thompson**

Gregory Thompson is the older cousin of Steven and Jamie Thompson. In 2001, he received an application to Pilot Academy and he attended it to become a pilot like his father and grandfather. Five years later, Steven Thompson would attend Tower Placement, and Jamie would briefly do likewise. Gregory wrote to Steven frequently, and showed an extent of interest in his involvement with the Armies of Organa. He also had a girlfriend named Enowyne, who he met at the Academy. It is likely that his experiences with her furthered his understanding of Steven’s relationship with Helen Thornton. At one point, Gregory Thompson went with the other students to the Sahara Desert for a two-week field trip. Gregory did not enjoy it, as he later revealed to Steven Thompson.

Gregory Thompson was optimistic, hard-working, and supportive, especially of his younger cousin, Steven. He was also something of a tease (e.g., throwing a washcloth on his head from out of nowhere), but this was only seen with Steven and it was not above average for their relationship. He was also kind-hearted and sincere.

#### **Tyrone and Tanesha Thompson**

"*That's our problem in society...people are abused, they give birth, and the moment their kids pop out they're babysat by TVs and Nintendos. Then they get personality disorders from neglect, grow up, and raise children even more unstable than the ones before them.*"
―Tanesha Thompson[src]

"*I... wasn't exactly a model student...*"
―Tanesha Thompson[src]

"*...and for the sake of our teacher, I'd be happy to collect the twenty-dollar student fee."
"Nice try. My parents already paid the fee. Your lust for drugs and whoopee cushions have failed.*"
―Ludwig Beethoven II and Steven Thompson[src]
Tyrone and Tanesha Thompson are a wedded couple and the parents of Steven Thompson and Jamie Thompson, and an employee at Irkall. He married Tanesha in 1999, whom he met in Utah at an office job. Apparently, he was fed a lot of speculation about Tower Placement School, which they sent their children to, as well as Superhero School, which their daughter began attending. After the Orc Devil began attacking Pleasant Grove, Tyrone rescued Steven and punished him for his involvement. He was fired from his job in 2025, but he got a new one by October that involved *Late Night With Tesa*. Tyrone Thompson was born in the 1970s, as was Tanesha, who had a sister. In sixth grade, Tanesha's homeroom teacher was Ms. Ravastan, who viewed her as a bad student and sent her parents at least one bad report that Tanesha kept, probably for sentimental reasons. Apparently, Tyrone was fed a lot of speculation about Tower Placement School, which Tanesha would later pick up on. At some point in the 2000s, Tanesha left her home in Oklahoma to pursue a typing course in Orem, Utah, where Utah Valley University (UVU) was. This led to her getting a clerical job at Irkall, where she met Tyrone Thompson, a junior executive. Both of them took a fancy to each other and the two went on a number of dates, which mainly involved them discussing their future and their views of the world. After some time Tyrone proposed marriage to Tanesha, very correctly on one knee in his mother's sitting room. His fiancée accepted at once. After their wedding, the two settled together at a home in Nebraska.

Tyrone and Tanesha's firstborn, a son named Steven, was born on July 9, 2000. The following year, Tanesha learned of Tower Placement School, a school located in Provo, and she went running to Tyrone about it. Initially, Tyrone disapproved of this, mostly because they would have to move away. Tanesha realized this was partly due to speculation, and told him why he was wrong about most of the dangers he saw in it. Eventually, Tyrone curtailed the discussion after pointing out that they still had four years ahead of them for which they could consider this (Tower Placement did not host preschool). Around this time, the Thunder Queen, a powerful criminal, broke into their house in the night. Steven attempted to wake Tyrone, but when he failed to do this, he stole his gun and felled the seemingly all-powerful criminal. Tyrone and Tanesha both had mixed feelings about the publicity his two-year-old son received as a result. The following year, they had a daughter, named Jamie. Like her brother, Jamie was enrolled at Grandview Elementary School.

In 2021, Tanesha finally talked Tyrone into moving to Provo and getting Steven into Tower Placement, and they moved to Provo, Utah. There, Steven was soon enrolled in said school. Before enrolling Steven into Tower Placement School, however, Tanesha requested that Steven skip a grade, and move immediately to seventh grade despite being eleven years of age. The principal remarked that no one had requested for this since Helen McKeen, and permitted this. The following day, Steven and Tanesha returned to the school, and the principal guided Steven to the computer lab. An hour later, Steven reported his failure, as he was not learned enough of science. Before they left, the principal informed them of a twenty-dollar student fee to admit Steven into the school. After returning home and shooing off Steven, Tanesha told Tyrone about the fee, and Tyrone agreed to pay it for them. The following morning, he kept his word. After driving Steven to Tower Placement, Tanesha returned home and watched a movie with Tyrone. When Emily Watson and Ludwig Beethoven II demanded Steven for the student fee, Steven revealed that Tyrone had paid it, seeing through his lie.

Shortly after the beginning of the School War, Tyrone Thompson quickly got wind of the fact that Summer Petersen and Josh Hogan were his son's two best friends. Later on, Tanesha invited Summer over, something Tyrone agreed to. Steven dropped in soon after, and was shocked, suggesting that Summer should have called beforehand. Tanesha revealed that Summer had already done that, and the two adolescents disappeared into the back room. Tyrone remarked that she was gorgeous before turning back to the dishes. As the Orc Devil began attacking Pleasant Grove, Tyrone realized that his son was riding with Petersen aboard a small ship and he followed them to the city, which was already ablaze. Tyrone dragged Steven home, but not before he felled the misty, reptiloid beast, and punished him "for [his] heinous lack of judgment". Steven claimed to be different from most kids because when Tyrone and his wife grounded him, he was grounded from everything, not just social activities or video games. Steven Thompson and Cooper Miller came to the park to study with Tyrone. When he looked up the process in *Technology and Trade* and mentioned Cara Mota had discovered a neat new trick, Miller implied that his friend's father had a crush on Mota. While he said the thought was ridiculous, his body language told another story — he beamed at her picture and blushed slightly. While Steven has continually asked for a pet cat, and Jamie greatly desires a dog, Tyrone did not want them in the house at all.

After Summer Petersen disappeared, Steven falsely told Tanesha she was dead. Late in May of 2023, they arrived and scolded Steven for inviting five guests over, which he had never asked for permission to do. Tanesha accused Steven of lying about Summer Petersen's demise, which he did not deny. In response, Tanesha gently put a hand on her shoulder and told her how grateful she was knowing she was alive, before remarking that she had gained a bloated belly. Petersen wasn't offended, but Tanesha thought she could be. Before they could kick the guests out, however, Jay and Vincent Organa arrived, and the latter used his powers to persuade Steven's parents to disengage. Subsequently, Tanesha went downtown with Tyrone and returned in two hours' time. In 2025, Tyrone was fired from his current occupation. Thompson, who had been working at a repair shop, was able to help his father by getting a higher-ranking job, with Petersen's help, at the repair store he worked at. In October, Tyrone was reemployed. His job was known to involve his having dealings with *Late Night With Tesa.* On April 1, 2026, he performed "Baby Song" alongside his boss, Jim Tesa, and associates John Hicks and The Roots.

Tanesha Thompson was slender and tall. She and Tyrone Thompson were both very caring people, who always wanted what was best for their family and friends. Tanesha was very determined, as evident with her determination to enroll her son into the perfect school for him. Steven described Tyrone as a good parent to Josh when he asked him about it. Nevertheless, Tyrone was by no means above harshly punishing his children: Steven once commented, perhaps in jest, that Tyrone would not hesitate to belt Summer if she returned home after curfew with his son. (Ironically, if the Magistrate hadn't forced the government to step back from the war, belting his son's friend would've been illegal.) Tyrone also believed that no one could truly be happy together knowing they had tried to kill each other. Ironically, Steven claimed that he thought pretty much everyone was gorgeous, though his son was probably saying that about him in jest. However, while Tyrone found both Cara Mota and Summer Petersen to be very attractive, he implied he was attracted *to* Mota but not to Petersen, all in spite of them both being a good decade younger than him and him already being married. He also seems to believe in certain superstitions.

Tyrone eventually married Tanesha Thompson and they had two children, Steven and Jamie. He seemed to have a fairly good relationship with both of them, but he still dealt out harsh punishments. One night, Steven joked that if he and his best friend, Summer Petersen, would come home after curfew, Tyrone would beat both of them with his belt, including Summer. He was also extremely shocked and disappointed in Steven when he moved to fight against the Orc Devil, and punished Steven for risking his life by grounding him. To say the least, Tanesha was disapproving of Helen McKeen, not wanting her son to be influenced by people like her. She claimed that her gut feeling told her that Helen smoked continuously, though this has never been proven. Though one thing was obvious, she found Summer Petersen a far better fit for Steven. Because of her friendship with Steven Thompson, Summer became friendly with the entire Thompson family. To say the least, Tanesha had a fond opinion of Summer, whom she met after she paid her a visit and explained that she was her son, Steven's, best friend. Tanesha thought the adolescent had a lot of growing up to do, but had the potential to be an ideal influence on her son. Though one thing was obvious, she found Summer a far better fit for Steven than Helen McKeen. She was distraught when Steven lied that Summer was dead, and gently put a hand on her shoulder and told her how grateful she was knowing she was alive, before remarking that she had gained a bloated belly. Summer wasn't offended, but Tanesha thought she could be. Tyrone and Tanesha were both initially curious about their son's best friend, Helen McKeen, and indifferent to the details of her personality and taste. However, Tyrone generally began to develop the idea that a romantic relationship between his son and this girl would never work, once he learned that Steven had tender feelings for her. This he believed because of their past enmity, he believed that no one could truly be happy together knowing they had tried to kill each other. Compared to her parents, Jamie Thompson, Steven's younger sister, tended to be more tolerant, but mostly indifferent, about Helen, though she has never met her in person. They appear in *Boys vs. Girls: The Coming Darkness*, *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent*, *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*, *Boys vs. Girls 2*, and *Boys vs. Girls 2 Prelude*, and are mentioned in *Vault of Ages: Surface of the Elements*.

### **The Thunder Queen**

"*She was an* extremely *powerful criminal. She broke into your house by crushing the window — simply by using her mind! You grabbed your parent's gun because they wouldn't wake up. After a pitched one-on-one duel, you defeated her!* "
―Summer Petersen reflects on the Thunder Queen[src]
Elizabeth Bennett Watson, known to all as the Thunder Queen, was an exceptionally powerful supercriminal and a former member of Dark Nova. In the early 1990s, she also became in league with Verpus the Foul, who was in disguise as the Olbaid, and seized command of Dark Nova by murdering her own father, Osama Watson. The Thunder Queen proceeded to marry William Watson and reproduce. In 2011, she warned Verpus to leave her home, and later received robot Rory as a gift. Shortly after giving the robot to Emily, the Thunder Queen invaded the home of toddler Steven Thompson, and was killed by the latter, who became famous for his triumph. The bloody effects of the Great Darkness would not soon be subverted, however. Elizabeth Bennett Watson was raised in the lap of luxury at the ancestral home of Thunder Quarters in the county of Utah in the United States of America; a magnificent manor that had been in her family's possession for a very long time. In the years prior to adulthood, the Thunder Queen gradually set up an undistinguished career as an unusually dangerous criminal. Eventually, her parents died and Thunder Quarters was left to her. The semi-sentient storm-like organism that had dominated the mansion since the 1840s, attempted to subjugate the Thunder Queen. The Thunder Queen proved to be the only Watson powerful enough to overcome the powerful storm, backfiring its attempts to influence her and turning the tables. At times, the storm would try, futilely, to resist the Thunder Queen dominating it.

In the mix, the Thunder Queen worked for Dark Nova for a time as an underling. She also became in league with Verpus the Foul, who was in disguise as the mysterious Olbaid, in the early 2000s. It was around this time that she perfected her skills in the Darkness until they were rivaled by very few. Eventually, the Thunder Queen became the underlord of Dark Nova, the highest position of power attainable in the organization, after killing her own father, Osama Watson, to acquire it. She succeeded in doing this by locking him in his own cellar to die, after stealing his exosword. At some point under her command, Dark Nova had a quarrel with Queen Zygen. In spite of this, the Thunder Queen took a great deal of interest in dealing with the International Alliance; knowing that they were the mistresses of the star system, she hoped to ally herself with them and expand Dark Nova's power to even greater levels. The Thunder Queen met a man named William Watson and married him, although though the affair was somewhat unofficial and took place in their backyard. They sired a boy in 2007 and a girl in 2011, who they named Micheal and Emily. Michael stated that the Thunder Queen was attracted to William's cushy lifestyle and well-paying job while William was attracted to the Thunder Queen's sinister strength rather than either of them genuinely loving each other. Around the time of her childrens' births, Sheriff Bladepoint, suspicious of Verpus' continuing existence on Earth, infiltrated the fortress, but the Thunder Queen realized what was going on and promptly tipped off Verpus, who fled in order to conceal his identity. In 2012, William gave the Thunder Queen a birthday present - a robot known as Rory. Owing to its kind and caring demeanor, however, it is unlikely that the Thunder Queen wanted it. Throughout the next week, Emily bonded with the robot. In response, the Thunder Queen created her will, which said, among other unknown things, that the robot was to be given to whichever family member it answered to.

The Thunder Queen began openly attacking innocent people and she broke into many houses in the night, both to take whatever she desired and to instill fear, including the home of two-year-old Steven Thompson in Nebraska. According to a female adolescent named Summer Petersen, the Thunder Queen's entry point was one of the house's windows. Steven, who had just awoken desiring a cup of cold water, saw the Thunder Queen and rushed to wake his parents, Tanesha and Tyrone Thompson, but when he failed to do this, he broke open the glass case concealing their gun and fired at the Thunder Queen. It is unknown if any words were exchanged, or if he ever learned of the Great Darkness. Several tiles were ripped apart in the brief skirmish that ensued, but Thompson ultimately killed the criminal, bringing an abrupt end to the Great Darkness. The death of the Thunder Queen changed the lives of thousands of people for the better, and Steven Thompson was held in high esteem for removing various complications from many peoples' lives. However, her bloody campaign had left a great deal of damage that would not soon be repaired. Shortly after her downfall, the Black Queen cunningly used the voice of the Thunder Queen to speak to Emily Watson in her head. A teenage girl named Summer Petersen explained the details of the Thunder Queen's death to Steven in 2021. The Thunder Queen was remembered well into the Shadow Wars in the 2090s as a figure of terrible power.

The Thunder Queen is cruel, powerful, sadistic, arrogant, and merciless. Her cruelty was such that she murdered her own father in order to inherit his high position of power and married her husband purely out of convenience, her love life being completely joyless. She is also highly intelligent and has a great deal of cunning. The one most surprising thing about Elizabeth is even someone as powerful as she has a master, the incredibly powerful Olbaid: Verpus, thus showing willingness to use any means to achieve her goals. Despite this, she had a close relationship with her daughter Emily, as she expressed great pride in her and took her with her sometimes when she robbed people. The former is enigmatic and powerful, and a superb ally for Verpus to have at his side. The Thunder Queen is an extremely powerful mutant who has a nearly unrivaled mastery of the Darkness. Elizabeth clearly had a bad relationship with her father, Osama. Her son, Michael, has alluded that the Thunder Queen mainly married William Watson due to being from a well-made family rather than actual love. She notably received Rory as a gift from her husband. However, the Thunder Queen was not able to use it due to her untimely death. However, it is likely she would not have cared for the robot due to its kind and caring demeanor. Their personalities were completely opposing to each other. Rory would instead be given to Emily Watson. While nothing is known of her relationship with the latter, the Thunder Queen's daughter is known to venerate her. She appears in flashbacks in *Boys vs. Girls: The Coming Darkness* and *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*, and is mentioned in *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent*, *Before The SMSB: The Dominion of the Dark Lord*, *Boys vs. Girls 2*, *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Inferno Relit*, and *Vault of Ages: Surface of the Elements*.

### **Toro**

Toro is mischievous thief who pretended to ally with Superquack only to make an attempt to betray him on Saturn, an attempt narrowly thwarted by the Ruby Eidolon. He appears in *Superquack: Focal Point*.

### **Triad**

Triad is a child working for the Magistrate. He met Torin X and mentioned to her that recently an influential industrialist and rival named William had given Zira an enchanted spoon cursed to make the user eat pudding until they were sick beyond endurance. Zira had ultimately had the last laugh, as she kept eating for well over an hour, her stomach expanding out grotesquely until the enchantment wore off, and proceeding to arrange for William's brutal execution inside the Death Pit, which Triad had witnessed. He appears in *League of Red Stars*.

### **Triton**

Triton is a brutish and misanthropic humanoid with purple, scaly skin and a skilled wrestler who eventually joined the Knights of Mae and took his current name. Triton's weapon of choice was a club with a blunt heavy end. Triton is incredibly, violent, hostile and dangerous, to the point where it is a mere risk going near him. Triton is a trained knight and adept with the Darkness. Additionally, he has a degree of superhuman strength, due to him being inhumanly bulky and muscular.

### **Tye**

Tye is a female cybernetic mutant who taught the Physical Education course at Superhero School in the 1980s, remaining present in the 2000s. After completing her education as a student, Tye proceeded to become the teacher for Gym, being on her post at the time of Jesse O'Hara's attendance there. She put the students through an exhaustive course that was designed to test them to their physical limits. Regular activities included soccer, dodge ball, and stretching. She was still around in the late 2000s. During the school dance, she invited Toby Calvin to a dance and he reluctantly accepted. Tye was a strict, though encouraging, teacher. She believed having fun during a game should take priority over a desire for victory. Students sometimes had trouble understanding her, as she spoke only in Cybercok. Jesse even made comics trying to understand what Tye would often say.

### **The Unhallowed One**

The Unhallowed One is a supervillain in the pay of the evil Jamboga the Unholy and the final antagonist of *Superquack* and the opening antagonist of *Superquack: Relapse of Power*, who appears in the last chapter riding on a gigantic drill-tipped tank, where he announces he is here to make his war, leading into the last shot of the new family charging into battle. This confrontation is continued in the sequel's opening chapter, where he battles Morgan and is forced into retreat, making his way back to Clock Castle. Following a clash with Superquack, he was silenced by his ruler, the Winter Wraith, before he could divulge her identity.

### **Universal Man**

Universal Man was a superhero. Born in 18 CE, he was around when Red Light sent his forces on a series of bloody campaigns, slaughtering many innocent people and beginning the Dark Rebellion, Universal Man created a league to oppose him. He and his followers initially had very little success, and Red Light continued to sow terror and chaos. Green Light hesitated to confront Red Light, despite the belief held by Universal Man's followers that he was the only mutant skillful enough to stop his former friend. However, Green Light was finally importuned to track down Red Light.

Universal Man was still alive in the 21st century. Because his immortal life had been completely devoted to his superhero career, he did not possess any secret identity. At some point prior to 2020, he was the very first superhero to be killed by C-1 in the training sessions of Operation: Rampage, and the very first to be killed at the hands of Mr. Baby Tutu. When he encountered the robot, it took him by surprise and ran over him with its enormous wheels, flattening him and claiming his life. Universal Man is known to be very confident.

### **Urquhart**

"*Wait, who in the star system is Urquhart?"
"A Rattlesnake supporter, he's outraged by our victory against them, he wants vengeance...*"
―Baby Intelligence and James Catherine[src]
Urquhart is a Crodela manager with the arduous tasks of consulting with clients, members, the community and local Crodela organizations, advising sports teams on funding, promotion and regulations, managing budgets, controlling finance allocated for community activities, and sometimes coordinating or raising sponsorship. He temporarily managed the Holy Mackerels. He captained the team in early 2030 at the height of the Second NoHead War, irritating player Baby Intelligence. Eventually, Ammon Dorber returned to lead the team once again. Urquhart survived the Second NoHead War.

Urquhart was an old associate of Ammon Dorber, but they did not have a positive relationship. His general knowledge of mutantry appeared to be limited and mundane, suggesting managers do not require themselves to be otherwise. In 2030, Urquhart had supported the Revolutionizing Rattlesnakes, the team representing his continent of origin, and had become outraged when the Holy Mackerels defeated them. Just before their forthcoming game against the Conniving Cows, Urquhart was scheduled to referee the next match, much to the surprise and outrage of all on the team, who assumed that he wanted to avenge Africa's loss by ruining their chances of winning the Cup. The game got off to a rough start, but Baby Intelligence shone his pad at four players at once, and Jason took out the remaining players, winning the game for the Mackerels. After the game, Urquhart revealed he was not biased against the Holy Mackerels. He ultimately survived the Second NoHead War.

Crodela managers were typically known and respected for their belief in good sportsmanship, and Urquhart was no exception. At times, he could appear cold, ruthless, and bitter. He was depicted using any means to bring the Holy Mackerels to victory, often flaunting his power during his time as coach. His personality has been described as "a chocolate bar covered in olive paste," and it was said on various occasions that the calmer his voice was, the more dangerous or infuriated he became. Impatient and cruel at times, he can be rather vicious toward others both verbally and physically - such as when he slaps Baby Intelligence and insults him many times. However, once he becomes friendlier toward Baby Intelligence, he generally proves that he has good reason to have a more aggressive approach towards triumph against opposing Crodela teams. Urquhart was presumably capable and fairly intelligent, as he captained a popular Crodela team at a relatively young age, although his general knowledge of mutantry seemed limited, suggesting mutated expertise is no requirement for managers.

### **Usher**

 File:Usher-main.png
The pinnacle of Usher’s training saw him deployed against police targets for the first time in his life in 2014 and culminated in victory against the fugitive police officer Casey Tartus. He continued his training for the next few days. With the simulacrum deactivated, Usher received a message from Mae. Another police had been located; Casey Tartus, in hiding in the country of Colombia. Mae admitted that she considered Tartus to be more powerful than Usher, and didn’t expect his apprentice to survive, but made it clear that Tartus’ defeat would bring Usher closer to his “destiny”. Usher affirmed that he would not fail. Unbeknownst to him, Drake was eavesdropping on the exchange. As Usher learned, Casey Tartus was accredited by the files as having considerable skill at robotics, and during the First NoHead War, he was lured out of seclusion to study the NoHead robot armies, all the while building his own robots to reinforce his troops. During a disastrous campaign, all his troopers had been killed, forcing Tartus to cobble together his own robot army to fight back. Usher murdered Tartus in the duel that ensued. He later swore allegiance to L'smae. Usher's signature weapon was an enormous exocleaver. He wielded the weapon with an unorthodox reversed grip, and utilized it against the likes of Casey Tartus. Although his weapon could be cut through by an exosword, it would require great pressure to do so. Usher also possessed two variations of this basic outfit. After many years of use, the worn-out suit was mended for the harsh conditions Usher faced on his missions for the knights. Most prominent was the heavy gear, which he wore during his time in Colombia, hunting for Casey Tartus. Essentially a makeshift hazardous environment suit, this variation was made of thick, heavy-duty fabrics to protect against the caustic environment of the country, a large wrap-around cape to protect his neck and the lower half of his face, and it featured heavy metal gauntlets to protect his hands from the jagged metal edges in the Colombian wastes.

When hunting down and dispatching his targets, Usher was always satisfied that he had helped defend the NoHeads and fulfill his master’s will. To that end, he was disturbed by the fact that he would have to cut down Tsallians during his mission to kill Rachel Bradley, feeling that their only crime had been to cross his path, but he was careful to conceal his feelings from his ruler. At the same time, for much of his life he had craved a confrontation with a police officer, and was excited by the prospect. While powerful and confident, Usher demonstrated many different sides to his personality. He was wary of his purpose in life and what he was meant to do; he began with a sure focus on the evil destiny trained into him by Mae. As his fellow Knights, Usher's fighting skills and martial prowess were without equal. Usher was able to defeat Casey Tartus. He laid waste to several other adversaries. Usher also proved able to defend himself against other highly aggressive duelists such as Casey Tartus, allowing him to defeat him.

### **Amelia Vane**

"*I could feel the Darkness... even as we traded blows, it was finally returning to my grip.*"
―Hell Burnbottom[src]

"*A terrible loss. She was a great mutant.*"
―Master Intelligence expressing the loss of Amelia Vane[src]
Amelia Vane is the celebated Head of the Department of Justice and member of the Mutamon. She attended New York Elementary before joining the government. Amelia often acted as a jury for the U.S. Government on several occasions. A year after, Vane was murdered by Hell Burnbottom during the summer, though she put up an extremely good fight.

Possibly roused by her parents' deaths and the deaths of some of her siblings at the hands of the NoHeads, Amelia joined the government and was there-on known as "Madam Vane". Apart from becoming the Head of the Department of Justice, she also served as a jury on several different occasions. Respected and celebrated by most, Grugariza called her a "troublemaker" and that someone should teach her a lesson, presumably disliking her due to her unbiasedness and Grugariza's association with the NoHeads.

Madam Vane sat on the government and presided over Lindsay Kellerman's hearing in August 2041, along with President Robbie Evans and Edna, who acted as "Interrogators". Sebiscuits Cardarphen was the "witness for the truth". Despite poor treatment of Kellerman by Evans, Madam Vane managed to keep the trial fairly unbiased and Lindsay was found innocent by a large majority of the court. During the trial, Madam Vane expressed admiration for Kellerman's ability to hold off the likes of Hell Burnbottom despite going for years without a real sword battle and believed Master Intelligence's testimony when Evans stubbornly did not. She was also part of the faction that voted to end the campaign.

During the 2042 summer holiday, Hell Burnbottom tracked down Amelia, presumably for her anti-NoHead activities. It is also possible that she was targeted as that she was acknowledged to be one of the greatest and most powerful mutants of her time, albeit she was untrained, and therefore Burnbottom would have certainly regarded her as a threat. Either way, Amelia Vane dueled Burnbottom herself, despite her lack of training. However, she was ultimately bested and killed by the warlord, who felt the Darkness finally returning to his grip during the fight. Her murder was reported in the newspapers, the nature of which baffled the police officers as she was murdered in a room which was locked from the inside. Afterward, some members of the Pentagon referred to her as one of the greatest mutants of her time, if only she was trained, and that her absence would be keenly felt by many. Mason Storewood replaced Madam Fiennes as Head of the Department of Justice after her death.

Amelia Vane was described as being a square-jawed mutant with close-cropped grey hair and a monocle. This gave her an appearance of being a serious person, which matches her personality perfectly. As for her personality, she was a serious but fair person who did not overlook obvious points. She gave Master Intelligence and Lindsay Kellerman a chance to testify, and was also one to be impressed with remarkable feats, given her admiration of Kellerman being able to hold off Burnbottom. Besides this, Amelia was a courageous woman, putting up a valiant fight against Hell Burnbottom himself, though she was ultimately killed. It is also very likely that she was kind. Amelia Vane was never invited to Superhero School, so she never learned how to harness her powers. Despite this waste of talent, she was a highly skilled duelist, being able to hold her own against Hell Burnbottom himself for awhile when he arrived to murder her. Evans also confirmed that she was a very gifted mutant, and the evidence showed that she had put up a good fight. Amelia Vane was also likely a very strong-willed person, as no attempt was made to destroy her free will before she was murdered.

Amelia commands great respect from her fellow coworkers at the government, and she respects them in return. During Evans' campaign to discredit Master Intelligence and Lindsay Kellerman, in which he ensures anyone who affiliates themselves with either of the two will be dismissed, Amelia remains fair during the disciplinary hearing of the latters, and follows Sebiscuits' opinion of following the proper protocols. She also remained unwilling to let Robbie's occasionally obsessed bias distort her job, which Robbie could not seem to circumvent. When she died in battle against Hell Burnbottom, Robbie sadly regarded her death as tragic.

### **Vang family**

Amanda and Jaden Vang are a married couple who worked as junk dealers and resided in the remote Appalachian Mountains in the 2030s. The wedded junk bosses bought weapons, gears and scraps of ships which had crashed during the Battle of Axis Base, reselling the parts to spacers that wanted to buy parts off-the-books. The ruthless Jaden used hired thugs to enforce his stranglehold on barter, sending them to punish any scavenger who dared dabble in unauthorized trades or negotiated too aggressively. From his Concession Stand at the Outpost, he ruled over the lives of the scavengers, buying and selling scrap and doling out survival rations.

Eventually, Jaden became married to Amanda Vang. He claimed that he and his wife moved their business to the Appalachians "after burglars settled in". In 2030, a child named Jonathan was left with him in the mountains. Jonathan worked for Jaden directly until he began coordinating with other scavengers. The preteen eventually struck out on his own, becoming one of the best scavengers in the range. Because of that, Jaden gave his thugs orders to make sure he was left alone.

By the time of the Melanization in 2035, Jaden had bought out or driven out his competition in Vang Outpost, creating a monopoly for his business. Even the Constabulary answered to him. Jaden had total control over Appalachian Outpost. By the time of the Melanization in 2035, Amanda had played her part in buying out or driving out the family's competition in Vang Outpost, creating a monopoly for their own business. Amanda's husband had total control over Appalachian Outpost. One day, Jonathan came to sell salvage accompanied by his latest triumph, the Sword of Abomination. Initially, Amanda did not recognize it, but Jaden told her it was one of the Arts.

One day, Jonathan sold a machine gun, which Vang paid a meal and a half for. Two days later, the same scavenger came to sell salvage accompanied by his latest triumph, the Sword of Abomination, which Vang recognized as one of the Arts. He offered to buy the Sword for seventy meals, but Jonathan refused. Refusing to take "No" for an answer, Jaden dispatched two of his thugs to steal the weapon. Jonathan easily subdued them.

Upon hearing rumors of a former NoHead headquarters in Albany, Jaden organized a mission to locate it. Knowing his skills as a mechanic, Vang brought Jonathan with him. Together, along with six of Vang’s hired protectors, used it to try to find the rumored headquarters. However, on the way, they were mobbed by a band of thieves. Luckily, they were saved by the fortuitous arrival of Master Intelligence, who drove off the threat. They chose to turn back afterwards. Stung by the failure, Jaden never talked about it again. Jaden Vang was not used to taking orders or respecting anyone. Amanda had many of the same traits as her husband: ruthlessness, cunning, and a certain disregard for authorities. The Vangs appear in *S.M.S.B.: Where Are You Now?*.

### **Vorg the Sacrilegious**

Vorg is a sailor who was so despised that he earned the epithet of "the Sacrilegious". He appears in *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Sheriff Bladepoint*.

### **Vyrtel**

"*You are Mae's slave… but your power is wasted with her. You could be so much more.*"
―Rachel Bradley commenting on Vyrtel’s incredible power[src]
Vyrtel is a member of the Knights of Mae. The pinnacle of Vyrtel’s training saw him deployed against police targets for the first time in his life in 2014 and culminated in victory against the fugitive police officer Rachel Bradley. With the death of Bradley, one of the few members of the Administrative Office who survived the Blackwing Operation, Mae declared the completion of Vyrtel's training. With his training nearing completion, Mae charged Vyrtel with hunting down the former police officer Rachel Bradley in Tsalla, a city in the Unknown Countries. Before cutting the link, Mae warned Vyrtel that he would need the full power of the Darkness to defeat the legendary officer.

Vyrtel barely said a word during the trip to Tsalla, instead looming at the back of the cockpit with his hood raised, only speaking to give orders and avoiding all of Laleh’s attempts to converse. Upon arrival, Vyrtel questioned Laleh about the emotional disturbance he felt in her. She confided in him her involvement in the Bombing of Ecuador, and how as a consequence of her actions, what was once a verdant jungle had become dead and barren. Vyrtel had read the reports, and assured her that she had followed her orders to the end. Clipso landed the *Shadow Laser* atop one of the massive mushroom grows on Tsalla, and Vyrtel ordered her to wait while he charged off into the jungle, exoblade already drawn. Vyrtel was quickly engaged by the Tsalian natives; an entire race of mutants who had evidently been trained by Rachel Bradley while hiding in the world. He dealt with them quickly and efficiently, saving his energy for his ultimate target. Vyrtel respected Bradley’s prowess, and her evident intelligence and skill in surviving for so long since the end of the First NoHead War. However, he considered her activities in Tsalla to be disrupting the natural rhythm of mutantry; the flow between the opposite forces of light and darkness. The Tsallian natives fought back with determination against Vyrtel, looking to preserve her “regime.” When confronted by a Beast-riding native, he ascended the jungle canopy until he was level with the rider and leaped onto the Beast. The Tsallian resisted Vyrtel, though he was quickly brought down, and Vyrtel killed the Beast with a blast of lightning. From the vantage of the Beast’s high body, Vyrtel saw a landmark in the direction he was traveling; the Tsallian village. Using his powers to tame one of the river-dwelling animals, Vyrtel traveled by water to the village, occasionally killing Tsallian guards along the bank with electric attacks. Reaching the village, he braced himself against a large standing stone only to discover that it was a massive tooth; the entire village was built atop a colossal living creature. While the Tsallians fled from him, Vyrtel made his way towards the village center, finding it to be the maw of a gargoyle; the entire town was built around a mega-gargoyle dubbed the “Ancient Abyss” by the Tsalians, and awaiting him there was Rachel Bradley.

The police veteran was perched on one of the concentric gums of the gargoyle, untouched by either the massive restraining tentacles nor the flexing of teeth, deep in meditation. Vyrtel telekinetically ripped a mushroom out of the gargoyle’s skin and hurled it at Bradley, who flicked it aside. She stood up, dubbing Xod a coward for sending Vyrtel in his place, while Vyrtel raised his exoblade in challenge. Bradley opened the duel with a spinning, downwards strike, throwing Vyrtel off-balance as he backflipped and blocked. Tearing off his hood as it snagged on one of the gargoyle teeth, Vyrtel could only fend off Bradley’s assault until he regained his balance. He overleapt her and fell down two layers of gums towards the gargoyle’s maw, before leaping back up. Rachel Bradley intercepted him, and her rapid attack prompted him to send a bolt of lightning into the gargoyle’s flesh below them. Its shaking and tremoring caused Bradley to loose her footing, and she leaped back from his attack. Vyrtel pursued, swinging as he went. Their fight progressed towards the lower rings of the gargoyle, with Vyrtel slicing off teeth and hurling them at Rachel Bradley, or slashing and shocking the flesh beneath to keep the beast quivering underfoot. Bradley countered by taking control of the gargoyle’s distributed intelligence and sending its restraint tentacles after him. As they neared the very center of the pit, digestive byproducts from the gargoyle’s reeking maw made breathing difficult. As they fought on, Bradley also lectured Vyrtel on police philosophy, to the NoHead apprentice’s chagrin. As their battle drew to an end, Vyrtel drove Bradley back into the gargoyle maw and, expecting her to be devoured, prepared to leave. However, Bradley reemerged, perched on one of the gargoyle’s massive tentacle, commanding the gargoyle to assault Vyrtel. Vyrtel dodged the first two massive tentacle strikes, climbing onto one of the fleshy masses as it pulled back. However, he was unable to maintain his grip, and nearly fell into the maw, becoming pinned between four tentacles. He blasted them apart with a telekinetic repulse and launched himself back at the ground. When Bradley charged off the gargoyle at him, he deflected her strike and drove her back into the tentacles, blasting the entire mass with a wave of lightning. Rachel Bradley managed to regain her feet, but she was already dying. As she began to expire, Bradley stated that Vyrtel was nothing but Mae’s slave, warning him that the NoHeads always betrayed each other when he declared his loyalty to his master. She then fell into the gargoyle’s jaw and died, exploding in a massive flash of energy that killed the beast. Vyrtel quietly left, satisfied that the removal of Rachel Bradley’s influence would allow the darkness to again take hold on Tsalla and return life to its normal rhythms. Vyrtel reported his mission’s success to Mae, who concluded that his training was complete. He proceeded to form an alliance with L'smae.

When hunting down and dispatching his targets, Vyrtel was always satisfied that he had helped defend the NoHeads and fulfill his master’s will. To that end, he was disturbed by the fact that he would have to cut down Tsallians during his mission to kill Rachel Bradley, feeling that their only crime had been to cross his path, but he was careful to conceal his feelings from his master. At the same time, for much of his life he had craved a confrontation with a police officer, and was excited by the prospect. While powerful and confident, Vyrtel demonstrated many different sides to his personality. He was wary of his purpose in life and what he was meant to do; he began with a sure focus on the evil destiny trained into him by Mae. Vyrtel, alongside the other Knights of Mae, had fighting skills and martial prowess few could rival. He even managed to overwhelm Rachel Bradley and his former ruler L'smae, both of whom were two of the greatest duelists of their time. Vyrtel's weapon of choice was an unclassified exoblade. He wielded the weapon with an unorthodox reversed grip, and utilized it against the likes of Rachel Bradley. The second of Vyrtel's outfits was the light training gear, which he wore in Tsalla during his hunt for Rachel Bradley. Being designed for hot and humid environments, the outfit was essentially a stripped-down version of his basic combat uniform. The light gear consisted of his basic uniform pants with wraps covering his arms and abdomen, but with the exception of straps holding on the arm-wraps, his chest and upper back were left bare. One of the straps across his chest included a set of leather pockets attached, and he kept a Rangefinder slung across his back. He appears in *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Mae* and *Before The SMSB: The Legacy of Sheriff Bladepoint*.

### **Natalie K. Wagner**

 File:Profilenat.jpg
Born in 2012, Natalie Wagner was an active trapper who lived in Nepal at the height of the Second NoHead War. When she was a small girl, her parents told her bedtime stories about the Dark Lord Mr. Stupid NoHead, who she believed was a myth. Wagner was out of the house on an errand when Baby Intelligence, Baby Strength, and Force Baby crashed right next to Mount Everest on New Year's Day, even though her family did not want her to leave. Wagner pointed out that this was the only way to make money, and headed into the blizzard abroad, where she saw "a small black object" plunge its way into a six-foot sheet of snow and found the two latters who, to her utter bemusement, were not injured at all and weren't even crying.

When she heard Baby Intelligence calling for them, she directed him to his allies, learning they were his responsibility. After the two introduced themselves, Baby Intelligence checked on his friends and Wagner suggested a hospital for all three of them. When Baby Intelligence passed, Wagner offered to take the other two and send a crew of travelers to help him last minute, but Baby Intelligence hotly refused, stating that the three of them had been through way too much already. Although Wagner was offended on him comparing his hardships to hers, she deduced he might be delirious based on him naming several acostic perils and told her Mr. Stupid NoHead was hunting them. In response, Wagner offered to get them about a quarter up the mountain and to an artificial rendezvous point, on the condition that Baby Intelligence took better care of his pupils, as she clearly still misunderstood the situation. She flew them up and presumably returned home afterwards and reassured her family her venture had been worthwhile. Baby Intelligence later told his close friend Carol Wilcox about Wagner when Wilcox asked what he had been up to since their last encounter in the Dancing Dorm.

Wagner eventually found Baby Intelligence on Facebook and said she missed him and he had promised to come assist her three months ago. Baby Intelligence promised he would go to Nepal as soon as the Police Grand Army secured the Eastern Field. Baby Intelligence, having poured ice into the Eastern Field but not having secured it entirely, felt the instinct to seek out Wagner. His instincts were correct, as Wagner was mere hours from going into labor. Along with Lindsay Kellerman, Optica, and several of Wagner's friends, Baby Intelligence helped her through it, to the best of his abilities. Wagner was so grateful that she named her newborn son Peter.

Natalie K. Wagner had long red hair and brown eyes. Her skin was light. A young trapper, Natalie Wagner appeared to be a sweet, good-natured, and hardworking teenager. She had a very open heart and immediately became fond of Baby Strength and Force Baby, thinking they were adorable. She was extremely talkative, the sentences she spoke were often overlong and repetitive. Baby Intelligence found this to be rather annoying. She had a "kind of genuine oddball nature" according to Baby Intelligence. She appears in *The Super Babies: Pride of the Super Babies* and *The Super Babies: An Ended Generation*.

"*What's this? It's the Lunch Money Bandit! Here, in my car! I've been looking for this dude for months! Thanks, boys!"
"Anytime, Walltalker!*"
―Damon Walltalker and Baby Intelligence[src]
Damon Walltalker was a police officer and the cousin of Roy Walltalker. At some point, Damon Walltalker became a policeman. He also captured the Lunch Money Bandit after the latter was defeated by the S.M.S.B. in New Hampshire. He enjoyed this very much. Eventually, his cousin's adopted daughter Reba Silo Walltalker became an officer, following in his footsteps. He appears in *The Super Babies: Pride of the Super Babies* and is mentioned in *The Woman Who Talked to the Hand*.

#### **Jackson Walltalker**

Jackson Walltalker is the adopted son of Roy and Janice Walltalker, and the younger brother of Reba Silo Walltalker and Binoculars. When Jackson was still a baby, he was kidnapped by Suzie Rockwell, though Reba rescued him. Born midway through 2033, Jackson was cruelly placed in a basket, presumably by his parents, and left in an open field to die. When coming upon the basket, Roy Walltalker was uncharacteristically aggravated and near tears, and resolved to adopt him himself. He was driven home, where even he was astounded by the Walltalker House. A year later, Janice contacted Roy, while changing Jackson's diaper at the same time. Later that day, Janice tried to get him to eat his baby food by making funny faces, which he mimicked. This also made his older brother, Binoculars, feel weird. When his "Uncle" Wilbur Eat knocked on the door, he muttered, "Hewwo?" After secretly taking a job on a remote island, Roy began taking better care of Jackson, as he had recently gained a large amount of confidence. Janice encouraged Roy to take a turn feeding Jackson, which he did. Later, Reba and Binoculars stowed aboard a plane Janice had rented, and quickly called Reba's friend to babysit Jackson. The baby was playing with an orange ball in his high chair while Reba's friend was talking to Janice on the phone. Eventually, Suzie came to visit, and said she was there to return the baby to his parents. The babysitter obliged, and Suzie bade her farewell. She then attempted to kidnap Jackson to raise him as a sidekick to get revenge on his family. However, as Suzie made for her jet, Jackson bit her hand, erecting a yelp of pain, and then Reba intercepted the pair and began fighting Suzie. Finally, Suzie had to drop Jackson, and as he fell to the ground, Janice caught him. Roy was able to destroy Suzie, and the group then headed inside, victorious.

Jackson Walltalker is small, albeit at the average size for a baby as he stands 76.2 centimeters. He is handsome and slender, and has a single tuft of light brown hair on his head. He is usually seen in a blue onesie during his appearances in the book. Jackson Walltalker acts like a typical baby. He laughs and giggles a lot but cries whenever he is disturbed. Only one known instance of being angry is when he is kidnapped by Suzie. He is smart and intuitive for an infant as he recognized Suzie as an enemy and identified the exploding plane as a danger. He was in fact capable of realizing Suzie's motives from the beginning, which not even his father had been able to deduce. He appears in *The Woman Who Talked to the Hand*.

### **Sēon Wan**

"*I must say, darling, I think well of your table manners, pretty girl.*"
―Sēon Wan flirting with Annabeth Black[src]
Sēon Wan is the fourth member of the Arcanus. There is much evidence that he was an awkward child with poor social skills. Even when it was important to him to make a good impression, he always seemed to have trouble doing so. In 2023, he considered it too late to join the New Overlord Society, so he took a 'Grand Tour' around the star system in order to hopefully find the NoHeads, partly out of curiosity, partly out of a desire for importance. A year later, his journey proved successful as he did indeed find Brute Gunray, who took him to Mr. Stupid NoHead. Before he began training with Mr. Stupid NoHead, the Dark Lord took Sēon to the latter's home. There, he burst in and killed his parents. Sēon was outraged, and angrily turned a vat of electricity upon NoHead whilst citing he did not need to poison his own cells to give him a taste of his own medicine. NoHead, however, deflected the attack and cruelly told him if his parents meant that much to him, he was not truly NoHead material. Sēon apologized and they returned to base, though Sēon was still depressed over the loss of his family. Sēon was still suffering from depression the following day, at which point he also met Annabeth Black, a high-ranking member of the Order, and while he quickly developed a crush on her, Black did not feel the same way. This unusual affection was not of the carnal type, but something far more sophisticated — no one else would talk to him at all and he needed someone to latch onto in light of his parents' death. Sēon immediately stuttered upon meeting her, telling her she "looked like a nerd. An adorable one." Annabeth became offended, until Sēon said he meant that she looked beautiful. Annabeth told her to stop hitting on her. Sēon apologized and left. The following day, he joined her at breakfast, where he kept his silence. However, he finally slipped, so Annabeth telekinetically punched him so roughly that he fell out of his chair. In March 2025, Annabeth had a terrible dream about modern pop music. Sēon was sleeping nearby when Annabeth woke up and expressed her relief that it was only a dream. Two months later, Sēon heard Annabeth screaming as a series of vines began to strangle her downstairs. Rushing downstairs, he used a powerful light blast to repel the vines, saving Annabeth's life. He explained the truth about his feelings for her. From there she was able to see who he really was. The two developed a close friendship from there, one of platonic, but not romantic, love. Upon learning that the Lemur had successfully captured Mayor Katie Black from New York City, Sēon immediately went to intercept them. Although he failed to capture them, he instead chose to help take down the police's power source, which the *Wasp* was already engaging. With Sēon manning a cannon, the cruisers traded turbolaser and proton torpedo fire with the power source Sat point-blank range. Both vessels took heavy damage in the exchange, but the power source ultimately won, sending the *Wasp* plunging towards the streets. Sēon immediately made for an escape pod, and successfully fled the base. However, Baby Intelligence and his new friend, Sebiscuits Cardarphen, managed to free the Mayor and escape. He perished on the Eastern Field.

Sēon Wan was very pale, and his hardened skin was slightly transparent. He had wide, staring, black eyes and a gaunt face. He also sported black, frizzy hair and carried his sword under his belt. He had long, dirty fingernails, something that turned off Annabeth Black. Sēon spoke in a hoarse whisper. Sēon Wan was described as a "fierce, hot-tempered man". He insisted on having his way in interactions, responding with violent uncontrolled anger when contradicted. Descriptions of his social interactions, particularly with his crush, suggest that he had poor interpersonal skills and that with the recent deaths of his parents, he suffered from depression. However, he seemed to have a cordial relationship with Mr. Stupid NoHead. He also seems to have a great deal of pride. Sēon had tender feelings for Annabeth Black, but was unable to find the right way to let her know. Although Sēon had a wide knowledge of Fobbles, he, like other NoHeads, hated them, as well as neurodivergents (ironically, however, Sēon himself had severe ADD).

Sēon Wan can create and manipulate ballistics, the science of mechanics that deals with the motion, launching, flight, behavior, and effects of projectiles, especially bullets, gravity bombs, rockets, missiles or the like. With the power over ballistics, he was able to control projectile trajectory, the forces acting upon the projectile, and the impact that a projectile has on a target. He attacked NR-327 with his own bullets, manipulating the velocity instead of anything more intricate. Whilst this made him a successful NoHead Recruit, he was noted to have gained a significant amount of power after his training as a NoHead. While the correlation to ballistics is unclear, he was apparently skilled with Generation, a difficult branch of Transmutation. He was uncommonly gifted with handling wild animals as well. Sēon could manipulate ballistics energy to increase maneuverability to such a degree that he could travel at high speed through the air. He was capable of aerial deceleration to the point where he could hover in place. Sēon was trained as an Arcanus, leaving him to focus more on his fighting skills. He was strong enough to rip a robot to pieces with his bare hands once in a powerful enough rage. Wan was also known to have a clever mind and had an excellent aptitude for theoretical learning, particularly when it came to dark powers (though was less competent in the application of that knowledge).

### **Water Angel**

"*In all her years, she never raised her sword in combat. I don't even know if she carried a weapon at all, in any shape or form…*"
―The Ruby Eidolon, commenting on Water Angel[src]
Water Angel was the mother of Juniper and a member of the S.M.S.B. Chiara and Juniper both gained their powers in the late 2120s after a mysterious encounter with a mysterious glowing meteorite. Desperate for help, she and her daughter joined the S.M.S.B. Chiara gained her powers in the late 2120s after a mysterious encounter in which her daughter touched a mysterious glowing meteorite wedged in the ground. They lost all memory of the event, but gained powers as a result. Having never married Juniper's father and being a fledgling single mother, and acting on Juniper's fear of their new abilities, she and her daughter joined the S.M.S.B. She took on the name of **Water Angel**, while Juniper became the **Fire Angel**. She used her ability to control water to bring harmony rather than fighting, and if needed, fought using only her power, encouraging her daughter Fire Angel to do likewise. Throughout her career, Water Angel never once used a sword in physical combat — indeed, it was believed that after her initial training, she never even carried any kind of weapon at all. She told off Hardy for giggling at the Ruby Principle. Water Angel had brown eyes, brown hair, and fair skin.

### **Michael Watson**

"*I messed up two computer monitors back at the library with Andrew. Well, it was his idea, there were toy magnets lying around and he wanted to have fun with them.*"
―Michael Watson[src]
Michael Watson is a member of the Armies of Organa, the first-born son of the Thunder Queen, and the brother of Emily Watson. During his education, he was a feared student, mostly because of his family reputation. Due to Watson's reserved nature, he kept to himself most of the time and did not really make friends with other students, though he did seem to get along with Andrew Hendersen, whom he hung out with consistently. He was with Hendersen at the library when he misused two computer monitors. Hendersen continuously applied magnets to it and watched the reflected light dance off of it, eventually causing Watson to do likewise. Eventually, a staff yelled at them and the magnets were confiscated, no longer to be for customer usage. Watson continued attending Tower Placement to complete his junior high education.

The Girl-Team eventually built the Boy Trap. A few days later, Michael and Andrew saw someone bolting from the cafeteria and chose to investigate. To their horror, they arrived to see Emily attacking Steven Thompson with her flamethrower after he accidentally spilled his lunch on her.

The boys fought back, beginning a civil war. During the Battle of the Bow-Tie, Michael set out alone to confront his sister in an attempt to end the war once and for all. He attempted to attack her to protect Andrew Hendersen, but she stopped his attack and boasted that he was no match for her. Michael denounced Emily as his sister, since she had betrayed him and deliberately tarnished his reputation, boldly telling her she was no conqueror. A heavy battle ensued between the siblings, with Michael managing to block most of Emily’s attacks and disarm her, but before he could order her to call off the entire attack, Helen McKeen intervened. He tried to reason with her, to no avail until she read a notebook and saw that Emily’s main goal was to destroy all male life in Sol. Michael was struck by a projectile, leaving a huge gash in his chest, and Emily fired several bursts from her flamethrower directly into his wound, burning tissue and halting crucial body functions before Andrew’s very eyes. Michael accepted his fate and told Andrew to promise him to never stop fighting.

### **John Webb**

"*Leave John, leave him I say, his injuries are impertinent compared to the loss of that orb!*"
―The Gladiator[src]

"*Unhand me, you wretch!"
"Hey, hey, hey, calm down, I'm not even holding you very hard. I don't want to kill you. I want you to surrender. Do it, and I'll make sure no harm comes to you."
"Game over, dung head!*"
―Hardy's attempt to reason with him and John Webb's last words[src]
John Webb was one of the earliest Plague Reborn, having joined in 2005. As a supporter of his master's bloody campaign, he never became married. Webb fought at several battles against Master Intelligence, including the Battle of Jupiter, at which point he was killed by Hardy. He was born in 2009 to two mutants who both were rejected by the NoHeads. Webb began attending Superhero School at the age of seven. He might have been a classmate of Roger Black, as well as a member of Jamboga Pine's gang. While part of the student body, he seems to have become a friend of Principal Supermaul, although the administrator denied this connection in later years, after Webb was revealed to have become one of the first Pestises. John Webb was able to avoid being sent to Beta Prison after the Gladiator's disappearance. It is unknown what happened to him while the Gladiator was gone, though he was welcomed back when the Gladiator broke everyone out of Beta Prison and John was summoned to Transylvania Quarters, along with Eve Higgins. The following year, Webb participated in the Battle of Jupiter. He grabbed hold of Master Intelligence's arm as he and his friends fled the Court of Domination, but was stunned by Andromeda, leaving him incapacitated. He woke up just in time to flee the collapsing shelves. Not knowing this, the Gladiator ordered the other Pestises to leave John behind, stating that his injuries were nothing compared to the loss of the orb which he sought. John Webb was woken up by the explosion caused by Red X's sacrifice to prevent the Grand Nuke from destroying North America, fleeing to Jupiter just in time before the portals sealed off. Finding the fight ensuing over the gas giant's platforms, he eventually found himself locked in combat with Hardy. He was subdued by his opponent, but, much to Lindsay Kellerman's surprise, he didn't inflict any further harm on Webb and offered him mercy if he surrendered to the S.M.S.B. However, Webb saw Kellerman advancing forward in Hardy's blindspot, prompting him to pinch Hardy's nose and light it on fire in an attempt to blind him and set himself free. Horrified, Kellerman made the flames disappear as Hardy retaliated and kicked Webb, sending him flying into a gassy abyss to his death.

John Webb was a fierce and no-nonsense warrior. When Hardy tried to reason with him and make him accept the inevitable, Webb shouted in defiance and lit his nose on fire, prompting the impulsive superhero to kill him in reflex. It has not been determined whether he worked under Plague Reborn for their fanatical beliefs, or to carry on the legacy of his parents, who were denied ranks in the Pestises' precursors, the NoHeads. He appears in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Latest Threat*.

### **Teryn Weber**

Teryn Weber was an British mutant and officer for the British Government. During her youth, Teryn attended Commonwealth School of Mutantry. Eventually, Teryn ran off to join the Team of Terror, in 2095. After a previous attack from the Unifiers, the Team of Terror took shelter in a camp. After they evacuated, however, the Unifiers, led by Captain Photon, attacked. In the skirmish, Weber attacked Photon, trying to wrestle her rifle out of her hands. However, Photon kicked her aside and detonated a bridge, leading to the death of Jay Organa. Teryn Weber noted that Vincent would not even speak to anyone for two days after his brother's passing. Grounded, Teryn had a practical, level-headed personality. However, she was also described as being "very soulful" and as having "a lot of heart, strengths, and courage." She was naturally ambitious and had a desire to stand up for what was right.

### **Ellen Wells**

"*Roger, lightspeed.*"
―Ellen Wells[src]

"*I'm hit!*"
―Wells' final words before her P-winger's destruction[src]
Ellen Wells is a talented but reckless P-80 Winger pilot who worked for the Police Grand Army. The pilot was known for her superb abilities in the cockpit and for her trouble remembering that a squadron relies on teamwork. She came from the province Manitoba. During that time, Ellen Wells was a member of the Government Defense Starfleet's precision air team alongside pilots Joseph Stikera, Zoe Bangel, Laney, and Cooper Westley, which flew mostly patrol missions and air shows. Stationed in main hangar of Zira's Palace in Arizona, Wells and the others grew bored with the assignment. When it became clear that Strikera was involved in a greater cause, Wells and the other pilots expressed a desire to become part of it as well.

Months later, Wells became a police officer and a member of the Police Grand Army, upon being discovered by Sheriff Baldric himself. Wells flew with the Grand Army's Red Squadron during the First NoHead War. The conflict came to a head in 2000 when the NoHeads revealed their new superweapon, installed within their headquarters, by destroying the government capitals. After the destruction, Wells joined in the briefing about Centerpoint with the other pilots and Sheriff Baldric's handpicked staff at their sanctum. During the battle against the superweapon before it could fire at the Blackwing Sanctum, Wells flew with Gold Squadron, joining in the final run against the superweapon's thermal oscillator led by Black Leader Saul Cameron. Wells' craft was subsequently shot down during the run by ground fire. Although she was killed, the Police Grand Army succeeded in destroying Centerpoint.

"*Traveling all over the system like that, taking care of business; it sounds* important*."
"More important than an air show, that's for sure.*"
―Zoe Bangel and Wells talking to fellow precision team pilot Joseph Stikera[src]
Wells stood 1.8 meters tall. Her hair was brown. She wore the standard police pilot flightsuit, with flight vest, ejection harness, boots, and life support equipment, and gauntlets. She also sported a bronze police badge. Her specially-modified helmet sported the police badge, yellow-and-black checkerboard pattern, and Canadian lettering. The phrase "Born to ill" was written on the side alongside the unit insignia for Red Squadron.

As a pilot, Wells was skilled at the controls, but occasionally acted recklessly and without the support of her teammates, since she preferred to fly by herself. When her fellow precision air team pilots commented on how Stikera appeared to be doing important work, Wells added that whatever it was, it was more important than the team flying air shows. Despite Wells' preference for flying solo, during the attack on Centerpoint, she responded promptly to Black Leader Cameron's orders to form up alongside Gold Five, Elmo. Following their initial bombing run on the oscillator, Wells commented that their barrage had produced no effect.

Wells wore the standard police pilot flightsuit, with flight vest, ejection harness, boots, and life support equipment, and gauntlets. Her specially-modified helmet sported the police insignia, yellow-and-black checkerboard pattern, and Canadian lettering. She also carried a Glie-44 pistol. She appears in *Before The SMSB: The Promises of Sheriff Baldric*.

### **Wesley the Worm**

"*Baby Intelligence. Truly, your background is legendary. Of course, so is the being who brought about the said events."
"The Dark Lord was a murderer. He was never anything else."
"Truly a legend. Fame could be your friend, you know. The status you hold as a premature celebrity... I can remove that technicality."
"Get out of my face, Wesley.*"
―Wesley the Worm and Baby Intelligence[src]
Wesley the Worm is a pirate who specializes in plundering cargo. According to Hell Burnbottom, he had dealings with the highest levels of leadership of both the U.S. Government and the NoHeads during the Second NoHead War. After being exposed as a spy for Annabeth Black, Wesley sought revenge against the Thing and later Baby Intelligence. According to Hell Burnbottom, Wesley the Worm had dealings with the highest levels of leadership of both the U.S. Government and the NoHeads during the Second NoHead War. In January of 2030, Wesley met Baby Intelligence for the first time. He became quite excited and promised he could promote the young superhero to a celebrity status. Baby Intelligence turned down the offer, as he did not particularly cherish his interaction with Wesley. Wesley, however, was far from daunted by the baby's words of rejection.

Several days after the Police Grand Army won the Battle of Yellowstone and the S.M.S.B. killed Hell Burnbottom, Wesley the Worm came to the Jade Sanctum “on official business”. He claimed he knew where the Western Field was and that he intended to tell this to a Grand Army member, but he was intercepted by Baby Intelligence and his apprentice, Force Baby, who actually knew where the Western Field was. Having learned that Wesley had been accused on spying for Annabeth Black, Baby Intelligence gave him the benefit of the doubt and asked him why. At this point, Wesley admitted the truth about his position as a pirate and furiously revealed that he really was a spy, prompting Baby Intelligence to knock him out by telekinetically smashing him against the floor. Somehow, Wesley escaped from the Jade Sanctum and began clinging to Annabeth Black as he began seeking revenge against the Thing and later Baby Intelligence.

During the Battle of the Eastern Field, Wesley attempted to stab Sheriff Bladepoint from behind, only to be shot by Grand Army member Victoria Blossom. Upon learning of this, Force Baby felt somewhat guilty since he thought he and Baby Intelligence had been responsible for pressuring Wesley into joining Black, but Baby Intelligence felt less sympathetic, for it was Wesley's attempt to assassinate the Grand Army's leader in the first place that resulted in this fatality.

Wesley the Worm was characterized by weakness, egotism, and self-obsession. Bearing a desire to surround himself with respected individuals, Wesley clearly looked up to strong, courageous people, he latched onto Baby Intelligence trying to make him a celebrity so Wesley himself would find a more desirable place in the history books. Wesley eventually joined the NoHeads and began clinging tightly to Annabeth Black when his life was threatened, showing selfishness and disloyalty at the core of his being. Wesley was an opportunist, who allied with the side that seemed strongest and appeared to be winning — thus becoming "a firm ally" to Baby Intelligence, and then leading him to become a NoHead when the opportunity arose. He was loyal only to himself and acted in whatever his best interest was at the moment. He simply joined Black because he had no choice, as the other side was aiming to kill him, and would have gone to anywhere else if he had more options. While Wesley the Worm appears to be a poor fighter, he was known to be very clever as a pirate, and the full extent of his cleverness and resourcefulness was shown in his infamy. Wesley was extremely skilled at plundering. Wesley was reasonably intelligent. He was also considerably skilled in deceiving people.

Wesley was hell-bent on taking revenge against the Thing. When Hell Burnbottom died and Annabeth Black took charge during the Second NoHead War, Wesley switched sides and began secretly serving the NoHeads. Black seemed to regard him with indifference, often scoffing at him or shushing him. On the other hand, Wesley clung to Annabeth tightly, believing her to be stronger than Baby Intelligence.

### **Alison West**

"*Alert the NoHeads... I've found the Sheriff.*"
―Alison West[src]
Alison West is a female mercenary. During the height of the War on Terror, West served as one of the NoHeads' spies. When she was at Superhero University in Los Angeles, West posed as Gavin's girlfriend. As soon as the leader of the Police Grand Army Sheriff Bladepoint arrived with Joseph Abernathy, Roxanne Waterston, and the Mystic, she informed the NoHeads of the officer's location.

### **Adam Whitman**

Adam Whitman is a friend of Valiera Nelson and Preston Rumsworth at Tower Placement School and a minor character in *Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent* and reappears in *Boys vs. Girls 2 Prelude*. When Jamie Thompson arrived with her brother Steven, Whitman befriended them. Jamie idolized and hero-worshiped him. On September 19, 2022, he spoke with Charles Hugh and, when asked, told him about his relationship with Nelson. On Friday, he gave Charles his phone number and the latter texted him in the evening. The following day, he went fishing with Rumsworth. By March of 2023, he had lost contact with Charles, though he still had contact with Jamie Thompson.

Adam Whitman was generally an easy-going and good-natured person, able to get along well with many people. He is also known to enjoy fishing. Adam is religiously orthodox. Adam attended Tower Placement School and he was friendly with most of the students he knew. He and Valiera Nelson, in particular, developed a friendship, as Adam knew things about her Charles (and Steven and Summer) didn't, such as the whereabouts of her home and her religion. They hung out continually, usually at Nelson's house or at the park. On Facebook, they are "mutual friends". Jamie Thompson was a friend of Adam when she arrived at Tower Placement School. However, he became embarrassed when he realized that he was her idol. Adam was also close friends with Preston Rumsworth, the two went fishing and made plans beforehand, similar to Charles and Luke Norris). Adam was also on friendly terms with Charles Hugh. He was open to the idea of the latter visiting him. Charles admired Adam for getting along with people so easily. However, they had lost contact by early 2023.

### **Wilfred of Wales**

Wilfred of Wales (also known by the nickname **The Hell Hoarder**) was a twelfth-century mutant, credited with inventing many medicinal cures. He was the founding patriarch of the Hecks family. In the 12th century, Wilfred lived in Wales, before he moved to the United States of America for mysterious reasons. It was there that he had a reputation as an eccentric, absent-minded man. Nonetheless, his helpful nature and affability made him universally liked, and his Fobble neighbors often came to him seeking remedies for their ailments. He readily brewed serums for them using ingredients from his garden. They remained unaware that Wilfred's remedies were mutated, and thus continued thinking of him as just a strange, lovable man who enjoyed "pottering about in his garden with all his funny plants." His reputation as a well-meaning eccentric served Wilfred well, for behind closed doors he was able to develop his plans to massacre the entire kingdom, which he planned to do through several experiments. This lead to him being given the nickname "the Hell Hoarder," which, over the years, was corrupted into simply "Hecks."

As his neighbors did not know he was a mutant, Wilfred was able to conduct experiments in peace, inventing a number of medicinal serums. He sold these serums to fellow mutants, amassing great wealth in the process. Wilfred fathered seven children. He left each of them a significant amount of gold upon his death. His eldest son, Derwin Hecks, married Ariel Foulle. Wilfred left his home to Baby Intelligence, which he discovered in 2030. Wilfred was a master serumeer and inventor in the twelfth century. He invented a number of medicinal serums that are still useful to this day. He was also adept at multitasking, though it is not quite clear if his attempted genocide succeeded. Wilfred also possessed skills in Herbalism. He was able to grow the plants in his garden for ingredients in brewing serums. He is the posthumous overarching protagonist in *The Super Babies: The Blabberish Singer*.

### **Acheros Wilkes**

Acheros Wilkes served the One Dominion as a mad scientist. He had grown up with a keen interest in herbalism, eventually moving to a colony to study the vast exotic plant life there. He was forced to depart the colony following the near-complete destruction of the land by New Order forces involved in a dispute between two neighboring civilizations. Wilkes swore vengeance for the loss of so much exotic plant life on his adopted home and began to prepare to unleash his fury on the New Order by joining their sworn enemies, the One Dominion. His comrades quickly discerned that his talents did not lie in combat, but in science, so he was never given the coveted "NoHead" title. Wilkes worked extensively with bioweapons.

Craving vengeance for the loss of plant life in his new home, Acheros Wilkes was not destined to become a warrior, but rather a scientist. He was naturally inquisitive, never accepting what he was told without proof, and often questioning the decisions and orders of his superiors. Wilkes believed that this attitude and way of being was integral to his success as a scientist. It did him no favors with other, more warlike One Dominions — unflinchingly loyal and unquestionably obedient to Tigris — who believed Wilkes was not a true disciple. A talented scientist, Wilkes had an instinctual understanding of biology and biochemistry. Despite this, the doctor was mentally unstable and believed viruses were the highest form of life in the Sol System. He was determined to unleash his plagues, which he saw as beautiful. His plot to release it back onto land could result in countless deaths, and Wilkes was excited, believing it would bring peace and purity to the universe. Wilkes was also quite talkative, unlike the reticent and taciturn Pulverizer, with whom he spent much time in British Columbia. He often spoke of his preferences; detailed his plans, and how he formulated them. Despite his inquisitive, independent and often outright impudent nature, Wilkes was deeply loyal to the Devastator and his Order. He appears in *D.I.T. One-Shot: Legacy of the Light*.

### **Jason Williams**

Jason Williams was a police officer and a member of the Administrative Office in the late 2020s. He rarely spoke and kept to himself. Never choosing to take an apprentice, Jason took the rank of General in the Grand Army of the Police during the First NoHead War. After the war ended, Jason participated in stopping the NoHead Movement. He proceeded to fight on several battlefronts during the Second NoHead War. A renowned skyfighter ace, Jason had toughened skin and blunt features. Despite his skill, he was felled in New York in 2029 alongside that of Paige Nelson, Katy Smith, and Caleb Hawkins to Mr. Stupid NoHead marked the start of Operation: Purge. He was discovered by Sheriff Bladepoint when he was four years of age mere weeks after the outbreak of the Second NoHead War and recruited to the Police Grand Army. Jason trained for several years, before becoming a successful police officer. Never choosing to take an apprentice, Williams took the rank of General in the Grand Army during the final days of Lily Elazar's war. After the war ended, Williams witnessed the start of the NoHead Movement and assisted the others in preventing it. In 2025, he became a member of the Administrative Office. He rarely spoke and kept to himself.

In the eve of the war, Jason was stationed in New York City as Mayor Katie Black announced her moving of the navy to a nearby city, as she suspected war was imminent. While his fellow officers discussed the ramifications of the move, Jason sat in quiet reflection of the events. Days later, the skies erupted in gunfire as the NoHeads launched a surprise attack on the capital. Jason took to his T-90 and led a squadron of like skyfighters into the battle between the government's Open Circle Fleet and the NoHeads' navy, led by the secretive Rotta Hecks. When an Endurance-class carrier/destroyer collided with the *Improvid* during a hyperspace exit, he landed in the dying cruiser and led its stranded Jet troopers to take an enemy cruiser, the *Dismemberment.* From there, Jason jumped out of the lower rear hangar with his friends, and landed on the attacking NoHead cruiser. Jason cut through the floor of the ship's landing bay, allowing he and his forces to enter the interior of the ship, eliminate its minor crew and take control.

After the battle, Jason returned to the police station to help coordinate the rest of the war. It wasn't long, however before Paige Nelson declared that the S.M.S.B. was planning to attack the Tropic NoHead Research Facility. Jason joined Nelson, Katy Smith, and Caleb Hawkins to journey to the NoHead Grandmaster's office in order to execute Mr. Stupid NoHead. Before they entered the NoHead Base, Sebiscuits Cardarphen approached the team and asked if he could come along, though Nelson denied it. Knowing their duty, the warriors headed to the office to execute Mr. Stupid NoHead. Before the quartet headed to the NoHead Grand Master's office, Katy briefly talked to Jason claiming that she would feel much calmer if Lewis and Sheriff Bladepoint had been with them. Williams scolded Smith for this because Williams said that they were sufficient for the task, and that they were capable of subduing Mr. Stupid NoHead. When the fighters entered the office, Paige Nelson declared to Mr. Stupid NoHead that he was under execution. Moments after the fighters drew their swords, the NoHead activated his own weapon and suddenly leapt up and stabbed Katy Smith before she could defend herself. As Smith fell, Williams saw his chance and attempted to strike the NoHead from behind, but was slashed at the waist when NoHead turned to face him, performing Plummeting Leaf. The remaining contestants would join Williams in death (though Nelson survived for a good month longer), heralding the start of Operation: Purge. Jason Williams rarely spoke, and preferred to keep to himself. He was also something of a loner. Though he served the police for years with unwavering loyalty, he was never known to take an apprentice of his own. He appears in *Sebiscuits: Apocalypse*.

### **Wimric the Wicked**

Wimric the Wicked is an evil giant that once wielded the Almataffe. Wimric the Wicked was one of the previous owners of the Almataffe. He used its power to destroy an entire system of planets, ruthlessly vaporizing all life therein. Still, the power of the Almataffe began to frighten him, and he attempted to dispose of it. When Armageddon, using old hieroglyphs, built a mighty starship with unearthly materials, Gaëlle began speaking to him as a voice in his head, alerting Wimric's attention. Gaëlle and Wimric both presented Armageddon with the proposition to use the technology on the ship, to gain great power and shape the destiny of the Eight Worlds, or simply leave and never remember anything. Armageddon accepted and as Gaëlle severed contact, Wimric conclusively stated that one day, maybe in centuries or millennia, he would return into the picture. Although he ended up dying sometime prior to the New Order Era, Wimric was so evil that he earned the epithet 'the Wicked', showing just how cruel he was.

Much like most Dark mutants wielding powerful weapons, Wimric was an extremely ruthless and destructive megalomaniac possessing a god complex. He willingly used a weapon as evil in nature as the Almataffe to destroy an entire star system presumably with little concern for the inhabitants on it. It is possible that he may have wanted to restore the system according to his own wisdom, like Mr. Stupid NoHead and Charlie Corner, both of whom were Dark mutants whose ends were very similar. Wimric appears to be an intelligent individual, who knew how to wield the Almataffe to destroy a star system he arrived in without harming himself. He thought very little about the lives of the people he killed during the destruction. He appears to think only of himself, making him an extremely selfish and arrogant individual. Wimric the Wicked is a giant, a humanoid being of prodigious size and strength common in the mythology and legends of many different cultures. Hence, his size, strength and endurance easily outclass a human of ordinary stock. Furthermore, Wimric is capable of surviving in the vacuum of space completely unaided. He requires no air, and does not need any kind of consumption or rest to survive. Wimric's physical body and connection to the Darkness is so immeasurably strong that he can wield the Almataffe and withstand strikes from nuclear warheads. When wielding the Almataffe, Wimric the Wicked's giant capabilities were further enhanced by the abilities of the Almataffe. Utilizing the Almataffe, Wimric was able to generate cosmic energy. Wimric was able to project the cosmic energy of the Almataffe which was strong enough to destroy the star system he was in as well as all of its inhabitants while doing no harm to himself. Wimric is exceptionally intelligent, knowing how to wield the Almataffe to destroy a star system he arrived in without harming himself. He appears in *Before The SMSB: The Dominion of the Dark Lord* and *Sebiscuits: Renascence*.

### **Ramona Winston**

"*Anyone can write, Jesse. But few ever get published. Even fewer achieve fame...*"
―Ramona Winston[src]

"*I already attacked that robot once. I did it again with the deepest sense of remorse.*"
―Ramona Winston sarcastically speaking of F-817's personality[src]
Ramona Winston is a female mutant, and a close friend of Jesse O'Hara at Superhero School as well as a short-term peer tutor there and an aspiring author, eventually penning *Confronting the Unseen*. She was known to excel in school and became an overachiever. In 1980, Ramona visited the school library with seventh year Larry Saunders. F-817 hissed at them for talking in the library. Ramona initially ignored her, though she took offense to F-817 calling her "inconceivably abhorred", prompting her to rip out one of F-817's photo-receptors. Over the course of the following year, Ramona authored the book *Confronting the Unseen*, a book for Defensive Arts, as she needed the money that came with selling it. Hoping to publish it, Ramona returned to the library. F-817, however, was extremely reluctant to let the book leave the confines of the library, and Meyer had to deactivate her and pry each of her fingers from the spine to take it. Several hours later, F-817 wrote a threatening note to Ramona, threatening the readers of her book that the consequences of mistreating the book would be as horrible as it was in her power to make them. She appears in *White Messenger*.

### **Tessa Wood**

Tessa Wood is the head of the Alliance Guard, the Magistrate's personal bodyguard who had assisted her in overlooking the prisoners involved with the Tournament of White Roses. He captured and trained several dancers for his ruler, one of which was Jessie, whom he found himself very taken by. He was known to harbor a blatant dislike for Jim Newman. When an undercover ISB agent infiltrated the Royal Palace of the Magistrate by posing as a smuggler, it wasn’t long before Tessa approached him in the main hall and invited the agent to his personal office. There, he offered the “smuggler” to talk about his experience in career. However, the undercover identity was not good enough for someone as deep in the business as Wood. He soon realized that his collocutor was lying and ordered the guard to toss him to the Death Pit, which coincided with Torin X being there. The intruder, however, managed to fight his way off and escape. Soon after, Tessa was seen in Jessie's company. She stroked his hair and he reciprocated the gesture by leading her around the throne room by hand. She was again seen in Tessa’s company when a dancer was fed to Zira’s beast. Tessa later left the musician to slumber alone with Zira on her dais. When he was younger, he had stumbled upon the Temple of the Relinquished in 1984. He almost fell in, but he was able to grab on to a rock and avoid landing inside the ancient fixture.

Tessa Wood was a tall, pale, slender man. His visage displayed acne-ridden arms, knobby eyebrows, bright green eyes, and lanky legs. The front of the neck displayed a large necklace. In whole, Wood was considered “darkly elegant” and attractive. He often wore traditional black robes that accentuated his natural paleness, along with half-gloves and studded wristbands. A pair of soft-soled shoes allowed the man to walk down the corridors of the Royal Palace of the Magistrate as silently as a wraith. He also kept a poisoned dagger concealed in the folds of his robes. Tessa was both the head of the Alliance Guard and their best pilot. He was able to easily fly his personal spaceship, the *Imposition*, across the terrain of Idaho. As the head of the Alliance Guard, Tessa Wood worked out of the Royal Palace of the Magistrate in Idaho. He spent his time in the building alongside the Magistrate or following orders. He appears in *Boys vs. Girls 2* and *League of Red Stars*.

### **Wrath Knight**

Wrath Knight is a superhero with the ability to project sonic fields and a character mentioned in *Superquack* and *Superquack: Relapse of Power*. He is scheduled to appear in *Superquack: Focal Point*. Although the two got off on a rough start, Wrath Knight held Superquack in great esteem from then on as he did mutantry he had never seen the likes of before. He was a member of the Superteam the Thrilling Three, along with Exogale and Apogee. The Project Rampage database assigned him a threat rating of 4.7. He was killed by C-2 during the training sessions for Project Rampage. Eventually, he was reincarnated by Morgan and the Warrior Chicken, and shortly after he returned onto the material plane, Robo made a doll for him. In 2041, Dustin Ort dressed up as Wrath Knight for Halloween.

### **Bruce Wright**

"*I've heard his name mentioned with rising frequency. This Bruce seems to be adept at popping up where and when significant events are about to occur."
"That he does.*"
―Carol Wilcox and Baby Intelligence[src]
Bruce Wright is the owner of Quality Crodela Amenities in Merchant Park and a friend of Kathrine Quintan. Wright initially had a huge crush on Carol Wilcox, but she chose to date Ammon Dorber over him. He is a major character in the first half of the ten-book The Super Babies Saga. When he was in junior high, it rained on Halloween night, so he set up a stand in the middle of town the following night selling Hershey's bars and telling people to start handing out candy of their own. While many had already done something else with their candy, many others did as Wright suggested, which gave him a small popularity throughout the town for a time.

In October 2018, Wright met and fell in love with an Eeidarian named Jena Kamen. He initially planned to move in near where his girlfriend was currently living by herself. Thanks to the quarantine and the travel restrictions that accompanied the pandemic of 2020, however, Bruce was forced to stay with his parents, resulting in their not seeing each other for months. Throughout the pandemic, Bruce was able to remain in shape, but he was bored and kept brooding. On the other hand, Jena was an excellent sport, eventually citing others had it far worse and that she had more gut for Bruce to grab on to since her hair and stomach had always been a particularly huge turn-on for him. Eventually, he befriended Kathrine Quintan and Carol Wilcox. Deciding to start his own business, Wright became the owner and proprietor of Quality Crodela Amenities at Merchant Park. Wright realized he had romantic feelings for Carol Wilcox, who was conflicted if she reciprocated, as she loved Ammon Dorber as well.

Needing a Skater, Baby Intelligence visited Quality Crodela Amenities with Lindsay Kellerman, where he was surprised to learn Wright ran the shop. With Kellerman's assistance, Wright and Baby Intelligence forged a Skater using eglorium cables. Despite it having been made in less than a day, Wright was delighted with his work, considering it the finest Skater that he had ever forged. After his brief night's rest following his assisting Wright, the latter sent Kellerman to wake him. When he arrived, Wright stated his pride in their masterpiece and revealed it, stunning Baby Intelligence. Equally awed, Kellerman requested Wright's permission to take the Skater in hand. He consented and together, Kellerman and Baby Intelligence marveled at the details of the Skater. He buckled his feet to the Skater and did a practice run. Upon landing, he told Wright that he did not know how to thank him and he replied that he may thank him by paying up. But Geraldine reminded him that he still had to choose a name for the tool. Kellerman suggested two names Baby Intelligence dismissed. He asked Wright for ideas, but he replied that he would not the one to ride the Skater. Ultimately, Baby Intelligence settled on Electroflame. Impressed, Wright told him that he had chosen well and inscribed his company on the bottom of the Skater. He wished Baby Intelligence and Kellerman well and told him he was extremely lucky to have Kellerman around. Later on, Wright went with his friends to stop Karkamel via Time Machine.

When an alternate timeline was created by the members of the S.M.S.B. attempting to rescue Baby Intelligence by changing the outcome of a skirmish that had occurred within the City Volcano, Wright became furious with Carol Wilcox because he believed she had encouraged him to embark on a "suicide mission" leading to the death of Sol's last hope against the NoHeads. This led him to despise her out of grief and he began latching onto Kathrine Quintan, who eventually came to develop romantic feelings for him. The two eventually had a daughter together on April 25, 2031, whom they named Ashton. He interfered outside the headquarters of Black Industries to protect Lindsay Kellerman and he defeated Grind.

Bruce had dark hair. He demonstrated the bravery and loyalty by opposing the NoHeads and the Sorcerers of Egrevond at great personal risk. Bruce was still able to take on Grind and survive two blows from the hulking brute in a dystopian future. Bruce was able to hold his own and eventually best Grind, albeit in an alternate version of 2031. Bruce forged the Electroflame.

X

### **X-JDMT**

X-JDMT is a non-binary enemy of the Dark Flame, although he was not affiliated with the S.M.S.B. as they had happened to find him, and he had become something of a third wheel to them. When they were frightened, the Ruby Eidolon covered them with a blanket. They appear in *Agents of the S.M.S.B.: The Inferno Relit*.

### **Finn Xenos**

Finn Xenos is a tough and headstrong worker for Hollywood Records and a close friend of Jesse O'Hara. He appears in *Pink Figurehead*.

### **Xochitl**

Xochitl is an agent of C.R.E.E.D.. He imprisoned Macroburst and Captain Obvious. He appears in *Superquack: Focal Point*.

### **Xydarone V**

 File:XydaroneV-BVG4.png

"*I want to be as far away from here as possible when the super baby shows up. I've seen what he can do."
"You* will *stay.*"
―Xydarone V and Galfalor of Eris[src]
Xydarone V was a notorious accountant and the daughter of Xydarone IV and is indirectly part of the League of Red Stars. After she sought work at the Royal Palace of the Magistrate, Summer Petersen impersonated her in order to infiltrate the complex and free Helen McKeen. Born in 1997 as a result of an underage liaison to Xydarone IV and an unknown father, Xydarone joined a financial profession early in life. The Magistrate once hired Xydarone V to track down Vincent Organa and Summer Petersen. Xydarone leaped at the chance to help her. After hanging out in Zira’s throne room for quite some time, she left for a restroom break, did her business, and stepped back out of the refresher. As she was doing so, however, Summer Petersen snuck up on her. She hit Xydarone with a medicine dart, putting Xydarone to sleep. Summer donned her clothes as a disguise, gave Xydarone a white shirt, and hid her in a closet. Petersen used the disguise to remain in the Palace until nightfall and rescue Thomas Carter from captivity, but when she, along with Rory, and Vincent Organa attempted to rescue Helen McKeen from the Royal Palace of the Magistrate, they were captured, with Zira finding different ways to dispose of each of the erstwhile heroes. Just around this time, Xydarone V awoke, and headed to the throne room. There, Zira gave her her shirt and cap back.

Xydarone V was hired by Galfalor of Eris to capture Oin, who was possessed by Mr. Stupid NoHead. Before Xydarone could collect on her payment for capturing Oin, Galfalor of Eris commanded her to remain in the Fourth Dominion until Sebiscuits Cardarphen was neutralized. Xydarone became frustrated and demanded her reward right away. Not only was she aware of the fact that the baby was about to arrive with the entire agency fleet, but she also knew that she would most likely die in the ensuing skirmish. After seeing what the baby was capable of, Xydarone knew that — with her limitations — she would certainly be killed in a confrontation with the Master Crown's host. Yet Galfalor's decision was made and he would not allow the mercenary to leave, thus forcing Xydarone to grudgingly remain at the overlord's side. When Baby Intelligence used missiles to break through the Fourth Dominion's shield, he also directed the aircraft's remains towards the fence, Xydarone just barely survived as debris from the projectiles crashed into the facility. The ground assault of agents that ensued forced the bounty hunter to take refuge deep within the inner sections of the Fourth Dominion. Under orders to protect Galfalor of Eris in case the baby tried to kill the overlord, Xydarone V took aim at Cardarphen's head with her sniper rifle and was prepared to execute her target. Unknown to either Xydarone or Cardarphen, Galfalor of Eris had a second contingency plan to ensure his survival. While Xydarone was in place to save Galfalor from a distance, a girl named Walter was prepared to intercede on Galfalor's behalf as well. Hiding her appearance behind invisibility, Walter was ready to strike Cardarphen down to save Galfalor's life.

However, Ninna and friends arrived just in time to convince Cardarphen to spare Galfalor. Ninna argued that the agency desperately needed to use Galfalor's knowledge of the NoHeads' inner workings before they could execute him. Though filled with rage, Cardarphen reluctantly heeded Ninna's advice. As the baby cradled Sirius Xameres' apparently dead body, Xydarone took aim at Cardarphen with her sniper rifle. To her shock, Xameres awoke and hugged the baby, revealing that he had survived the ritualistic torture he had been made to endure. The incident had a profound effect on Xydarone, who chose to spare Cardarphen's life for the time being. As the agency went on to claim victory in the Fourth Dominion, Xydarone retreated back to her ship.

As Galfalor of Eris was heavily restrained on board the *Ruthless Palm*, Xydarone soon learned that the agency members were transporting Galfalor to their headquarters. As the *Ruthless Palm* departed from Palmyra and entered subspace, both Cardarphen and Xameres failed to notice that an airship was hiding among the wreckage of agency and NoHead aircraft. Unknown to either of them, Xydarone V was following the *Ruthless Palm* and its invaluable Erisian prisoner to their destination.

Xydarone V is very brave and confident, always determined to get the job done. She is also not inclined to hold grudges, as she forgave Summer Petersen for subduing and incapacitating her, acknowledging she would have done the same thing if the roles were reversed. She appears in *Sebiscuits: Apocalypse*, *Boys vs. Girls 2*, and *League of Red Stars*.

Y

### **Bryce Yearsley**

Bryce Yearsley was a man who worked for Suzie Rockwell. On 1 August, 2025, he tracked Roy Walltalker and Suzie to Manhattan Island along with Jeremiah Soule, but the two guards were defeated and their memories were modified by suzie to cover their escape.

Bryce Yearsley was born in 1988 to a Fobble and a Squib, making him a Fobble as well. During the height of the First NoHead War, the U.S. Government was taken over by Mr. Stupid NoHead. Shortly after, it began persecuting neurodivergent mutants, beginning with the reformation of the courts, in accordance with the NoHead ideology. Neurodivergents were accused of having stolen mutantry and sentenced to Beta Prison for it. Yearsley arranged with a mutant to forge a false family tree so that the Empire believed he was a mutant. However, Igraine Roma, a powerful Imperial official and supporter of the NoHead regime, tracked the mutant who faked his family tree and Yearsley was arrested. While NoHead-controlled and newly instated President Aurora Black, alongside Mr. Crooked NoHead and Igraine Roma, delivered a speech to the government employees about the changes in government policy, robot soldiers arrived and dragged a battered and bruised Bryce Yearsley across the Atrium. Officer Molly Dawson was charged with transporting Yearsley to Beta Prison, via two-man skyfighter. Halfway to the prison, Bryce managed to incapacitate Molly, whom he believed to be under the effects of a curse, and stole the officer's fighter, using it to escape.

In March 2030, he came into allegiance with Suzie Rockwell and her other guards. Bryce quickly proved he was one of the greatest guards of all. To thank him for his effort, Suzie gave him a stun gun in 2024 that only she and Jeremiah had. Jeremiah and Jacob Bell (originally named Mr. Odious NoHead) were both present. Bryce also assisted in building the first three Basketball prototypes. Shortly after Roy Walltalker's defeat of the Basketball 7000, the ghost of a fallen superhero attacked Suzie's base whilst aiming for revenge. After the ghost possessed them, Bryce and Jeremiah Soule tracked Roy and Suzie to a café on Manhattan Island via the Taboo on their names after their escape from the base. A fight broke out, and Bryce was quickly stunned by Roy. Afterward, his and Jeremiah's memories were modified by Suzie. As opposed to Jeremiah, the memory beam fired upon Bryce was not very effective. Bryce recovered shortly afterwards and he brought Jeremiah back to Suzie's base. There, Suzie was able to free him of the possession, and Bryce sadly told her Jeremiah may be in this ward for life.

Bryce Yearsley was very fierce and it was said that he worked with the other guards with a near-military feel about him. He was also appeared to be very reckless. On the other hand, he was kind. He believed he was serving a good cause in working for Suzie, and he was very upset after Jeremiah Soule was mentally damaged. He appears in *The Woman Who Talked to the Hand*.

### **Yidd**

"*It was the kid from earlier! His name was Yidd. He rose from the Yuckious Hole.*"
―*Journey to Planet 12*
Yidd is a mad scientist. He was confined to the replica of the Yuckious Hole before a band of mutates shrunk the replica ever so carefully, returning it to the museum and, with a heavy heart, burning it, to prevent it from happening again, in the process sealing Yidd forever. Yidd is an evil and eccentric mad scientist who conducts gruesome science experiments that usually involve animals. Truly cruel, he clearly enjoys mutialating the objects and creatures he experiments on. It's implied that his upbringing has resulted in his incredible selfishness. He appears in *Journey to Planet 12*.

### **Zeiveran**

Zeiveran is an administrator of Needed Evil.

### **Zett**

Zett is a member of the Police Grand Army. He trained with Sheriff Bladepoint since he was young during the aftermath of the Blackwing Operation and, after being rescued from the clutches of a mercenary by Abalan, invited his allies to Japan, at a meeting where the return of the Police Grand Army was formally declared. The meeting was interrupted, by the Emperor's follower Dorphane Giles, whom Abalan had secretly been working for. The officers were taken to the Imperial Palace, but were freed by Abalan in an act of rebellion against his master, and began operating the Police Grand Army. After Peter Hecks was induced into the Grand Army in 2029, it was Zett who directed him to the Jade Sanctum, where Hecks received training from Bladepoint.

Following the fall of Sebiscuits Cardarphen and the supposed death of Paige Nelson, Zett was slain in battle by NR-0000/1010 in front of Sheriff Bladepoint. He was the first son of a moderately wealthy family. As a police cadet, Zett trained under Sheriff Bladepoint alongside other officer hopefuls of his age. The latter protected him from individuals of the NoHead Empire who were seeking the Sheriff due to the devastation that resulted from the Blackwing Operation, Gary and Bryan became Zett’s friends, and he eventually fell in love with fellow officer, Mattie Nukass. Others would become rivals, and even enemies. His instructors included Cecelia Martez. As a child, Zett had been fascinated by machines, building models of planes and even dreaming of becoming a pilot. His ability to repair machinery and reprogram computers would serve him well in the future, but because of his ability to learn quickly, Zett became arrogant and was often impatient. Under the careful guidance of Sheriff Bladepoint, however, Zett became more humble and reserved.

Aided by Sheriff Bladepoint and Dexter, Zett went into hiding in Manhattan in 2013. In the year 2015, the Madakoran mercenary Kai Carson arrived at Manhattan to interrupt the talks of restoration. His henchmen captured Zett, but the officer was quickly rescued by Abalan, the Secret apprentice of Dorphane Giles. Unbeknownst to Zett, Abalan was on assignment for Giles to rally together the Emperor’s political enemies, so that they could be captured in one swift stroke. Zett was impressed by Abalan’s skills, and, seeing him as a strong ally in his struggle against the Empire, decided to call another meeting with Bladepoint and Dexter. Summoning them to an ancient monastery in the mountains of Japan, Zett argued to restore the consolidation of their three resistance forces into an organization capable of striking at the Empire throughout the world. Swayed by his words, the meeting’s attendees — Zett himself, Bladepoint, Dexter, Abalan, the former officer Ronald Koda, and Roxanne Waterston (attending via the trenist WINDOW) — drafted and signed the Japanese Treaty, which formally declared the Police Grand Army. To their horror, the meeting was immediately interrupted by Dorphane Giles and a squad of war robots, who stormed the meeting and captured the officers. They were imprisoned in Axis Base, and sentenced to die, until Abalan rebelled against his master and helped the officers escape in his aircraft, the *Shadow Laser*.

Open rebellion against the Empire had been declared, and although Zett and rogue Deaforma Wia Domaengui were instrumental in the Grand Army’s founding, Sheriff Bladepoint was credited by historians for its resurgence, and he quickly resumed his position as its de facto leader. Zett would provide the Grand Army with ships, Bladepoint with soldiers, and Waterston with funds. Zett and Dexter’s talents complemented each other — he was a keen military strategist, he an inspirational public speaker — and the Grand Army thus returned to prominence. Zett feared that Bladepoint was becoming addicted to power, though Waterston often acted the mediator, ensuring that relations between the two officers were decent. However, Zett was increasingly relegated to a more backseat role in the Grand Army, while his peers made important decisions.

Following the fall of Sebiscuits Cardarphen and the supposed "death" of Paige Nelson, Bladepoint went to help Baby Intelligence and go against the NoHeads. Still at the Jade Sanctum, Sheriff Bladepoint armed him and other police with swords as the sanctum went on high alert. Under the leadership of Cardarphen, the Grand Army of the NoHeads invaded the sanctum, slaying all within. Fleeing to the upper levels, Zett fought his way through one of the hangars and onto the landing platform. Out in the night air, Zett raced for the recently landed speeder that belonged to Bladepoint, who had come to investigate the smoke rising from the base. On his way to freedom, Zett cut through eight robots, including the assault’s leader. However, before he could make it to the speeder, Zett was shot dead by the accurate blaster-handling of R-421. Fleeing the scene after Zett’s death, Sheriff Bladepoint departed the sanctum in search of any surviving police.

### **Zhoul**

Zhoul was the historical founder of the Order of the Mystic Specters and author of the Book of Zhoul, a book that was full of mystical mutantry. He is a posthumous hero in *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect*. Thousands of years before the NoHead era, the being known as Zhoul founded the Order of the Mystic Specters and started training other beings to control their powers. Zhoul fought and defeated the black sorcerer Karkamel and condemned him to the extrasolar prison Egrevond. During their collection of knowledge and power, they studied things such as the Verasect and experienced a vision of its future. They eventually wrote down their knowledge on a book, that was collected by their followers and eventually borrowed by a member named Tori Newell long after Zhoul's time.

As the founder of the Order of the Mystic Specters, Zhoul was an immensely powerful master mutant, quite possibly one of the greatest mutants in history. Zhoul's power was such that they were able to defeat Karkamel, who was deemed as one of the most powerful beings in Sol and beyond, and confine him to the realm of Egrevond. Their mastery and understanding of mutantry was great enough to write books to explain its more advanced natures. Zhoul was also a very powerful Seer.

Zhoul had a strong relationship with the early members of their organization, inspiring them to follow them as their disciples. Later members like Tori Newell took after their teachings.

### **Claudia Ziss**

Claudia Ziss was a mad scientist and a part of the Sword of Masculinity. In 2028, she was a part of the strike force that was sent to dispose of the Arcanus. She approached Qamar, and prepared to kill him when Annabeth Black interfered along with Rebecca. Ziss refused to back down and tossed Black out of her way and stabbed Qamar in the stomach. Turning around, Ziss drew her pistol on the young woman. Before the mad scientist was even able to discharge her weapon, however, Black had already drawn her sword, swiftly removing Ziss' right arm.

## Behind the scenes

* D. Isaac Thomas originally considered making Samuel McCallin's owl the source of the prophecy, but felt it would be far too convenient after everything the members of the S.M.S.B. had been through. It is unclear at what phase this change was made, as they get their answers from a scroll on Mount Everest. It is possible that this was a family owl that eventually ended up with Samuel.
* For months, there was a huge discrepancy between the names of Valiera Nelson's brothers, though one of them was always known to be Saul, the light-haired young one. One of them is around her age, but their names were known to be Saul, Chris, Dustin, and Nicholas. Therefore, Saul was, until August 13, 2018, the only identified sibling of Valiera Nelson. Ironically, he was the only one not conceived by Jared Quintana.
* When asked if he planned on expanding on Selene Rensworth's character, D. Isaac Thomas claimed that if he did then her dynamic with Zachary Brown wouldn't be funny anymore.
* Jarett Ruth’s personality was inspired by the character of Severus Snape from the *Harry Potter* book series.
* Squeaker's character was inspired in part by author D. Isaac Thomas’ experience with salamanders at home that ate insects and, like Steven Thompson, he has something of an insect phobia. Despite the bullying suffered by Squeaker, Thomas confirmed that one or more school pets would be featured in the third book in the series, *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*. The school pet in question turned out to be Squeaker himself, who made a return appearance to the school.
* The character of Stella first appeared in D. Isaac Thomas' book *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers*, where she briefly appeared in the "skyrace" sequence. Her backstory was elaborated on by Melissa Vaine and Ammon Thomas through the website Facebook Ammon elaborated upon Stella's biographical details, while Melissa explored Zira's history. Information from the Databank entry was later used in *League of Red Stars*. The book stated that Stella had purple-dyed hair and several moles that ran down her face and neck, which conflicts with her depiction in *Boys vs. Girls: The Fate of the Towers* as a plain-skinned person with blue hair.
* When asked if Roy Walltalker made a cameo in *The Super Babies: Pride of the Super Babies*, D. Isaac Thomas said he was not, but rather it was his cousin who his adoptive daughter, Reba Silo Walltalker, idolized. Indeed, Walltalker was mentioned several times in *The Woman Who Talked to the Hand*.

29. ↑ Marco was called the "kitchen boy" heavily implying he is underage. When Summer meets him, she squeals that he's adorable and ruffles his hair, something she's never done to a peer before, and Pablo doesn't act like she did anything unusual. He is described in the novel as "small" and is shy when encouraged to say "hi". These are both typical toddler traits even further proving he couldn't possibly be 18 years old yet.
That said, if he were born in 2009, the final year of the 2000s, he would be 17 or 18 when he met Summer in 2026. Marco, therefore, was either born in 2010, the beginning of the 2nd decade of the 21st century, or at some point afterwards, but certainly no later than 2024.
