Editing Brick City

A pawn shop owner, whose pawn shop seems to be a place where interesting gadgets and artifacts find themselves. He has 4-5 of these at any given time.

With the power to talk to corn, no one thought he could be a hero - especially in Jersey... He's since learned to animate corn and use corn as weapons.

Criminals and friends alike fear getting unwanted tunes looped in their head, causing Confusion and sometimes Nausia or even Draining Will...

Cursed by a gypsy when fighting over the last action figure at a "Space Trek" convention - he now dies and comes back moments later, each time with a random power/ability.  

Übermensch was found as a baby inside a tiny meteor-like spacecraft which had crashed into a cornfield, and was raised by a kindly elderly couple of Austrian immigrants. In the decades since, he has grown into one of the greatest heroes the world has ever known, and is currently the leader of Metro City's Order of Exemplars. His frequent appearances on controversial radio and television shows, and a well-publicized videotape circulated last year in which he drunkenly raged against various ethnic minorities, have not decreased his appeal.

Firefox is a mysterious caped vigilante whose true identity is unknown, although he appears to have a benefactor in wealthy bachelor Julian Kane. A well-known member of the Exemplars and fixture of the Metro City crime-fighting community, Firefox has for decades battled evil alongside a procession of teenage sidekicks - some of whom, such as Eagle, Sparrow and Falcon, have gone on to heroic careers of their own. Sadly, Firefox's reputation lately has been somewhat sullied by a series of lawsuits alleging inappropriate sexual misconduct by former sidekicks Swallow, Woodcock and Hummingbird.

*  '''Wren''':  [aka. Howard "Howie" Gilbert] Beginning as the eldest of any of Firefox's sidekicks, Howie fancied himself a "cave-dweller" in both the field and in research - small in stature and inconspicuous in general.  His primary weapondry was a loud and annoying whistle-call song built into his costume. After turning too many ankles, maxing out the Firefox health plan (and generally getting too old for the likes of his dark avenger benefactor) Howie has since retired from crime fighting with Firefox although he has expressed numerous attempts at gaining entry in various super heroic teams.  He has yet to catch on with another hero team - as such he hasn't kept up with his training and is currently completely out of shape.  Howie also has the distinction of being the shortest lived career in the Firefox duos...

Arachno-Man, another one of the Exemplars' best and brightest, has battled crime in Metro City for years with his web-slingers and arachnid-like reflexes. Unfortunately, he vanished without a trace approximately six months ago and has not been seen since. Authorities recently charged his wife, Betty Sue Holmes, with first-degree murder and suspected cannibalism.

Until recently, the Polisher ran "The Polisher's Bowlin' Palace" on the west side of town. Tragically, he was killed when the super-team to whom he had rented out the top floor of his bowling alley engaged in a frenzied battle both inside and outside of the building, which resulted in its collapse. The Polisher possessed a unique aptitude for instantaneously coating any flat surface in a glossy, slight slippery sheen.

Sam Harper was just an ordinary citizen until, one day, he was bombarded with radiation from his television set when lightning struck his roof antenna during a Fourth of July fireworks display, giving him amazing fireworks and beating-related powers. He had been fighting crime under the alias "Uncle Sam" for barely two weeks when he was served with an injunction by lawyers representing Corporal U.S., who was suing him over similarities in costume design. Sam lost everything in the lawsuit and swore revenge on the country whose legal system had allowed this to happen. He is currently in prison, having been captured during a botched robbery alongside other poorly-represented holiday-themed supervillains.

Clyde Lepus was only eight years old when, while participating in the annual easter-egg hunt on the lawn of the Brick City mayor's mansion, he found and consumed a prototype marshmallow-rabbit candy that had never been intended for release to the public. The candy mutated Clyde into a monstrous rabbit-human hybrid, which unsurprisingly led to a seething hatred for humanity. Clyde is a known associate of Uncle Sam's, and is currently in the same prison.

Seamus O'Leary is a leprechaun, banished to Brick City from Ireland after he inadvertently allowed his pot of gold to be found and stolen by American backpackers. He will be permitted to return if he can regain his wealth, and has reasonably concluded that the fastest way to accomplish this is through crime. He was last seen working alongside Uncle Sam and Bunny in an attempt to rob a team of Christmas-themed animated snowmen who had just plundered the Brick City Municipal Art Museum. Unlike the others, he managed to escape, perhaps due to his ability to turn invisible and teleport.

Mr. Brown is a mysterious telepathic entity in a trenchcoat and fedora who was last seen attempting to sell a vast array of high-tech weaponry to the Cesarios. He was last encountered by a group of heroes who tracked him to his warehouse headquarters near the docks, where they managed to irradiate three miles of the New Jersey coastline while failing to capture him. It is possible that there is more than one Mr. Brown, as he has sometimes been seen in multiple places at the same time.

Superfly began life as an ordinary housefly who, against all odds, somehow survived being bitten by a radioactive human, which granted him the amazing strength and abilities of an average human being. This appears to have granted him some measure of influence over his fellow insects, who have done his bidding in numerous attempts to capture bakeries, candy factories, sugar refineries, and the like.

Buzzkill, aka Jonathan Fisher, is a normal-looking young man who has the uncanny ability to immediately ruin any social situation, simply by opening his mouth. Within moments, he can make food taste terrible, conversation seem agonizingly boring, and friendly and personable people irritable and abrasive. While not actually an accomplished supervillain, he has evidently been advertising his services to other villains' henchmen in the hopes of being hired. It is unknown at this time whether or not anyone has taken him up on his offer.
