In his normal form, Merriweather appears to be a strong, very-well preserved man for his age, with short, salt-and-pepper hair and blue eyes. As Major Power, he’s a powerfully-built man of about 30 with an unspecific Mediterranean appearance. His uniform is a grey one-piece bodysuit (not skin-tight) covered by a red, unadorned tabard.

An athletic woman in a dark hood and cape, The Kestrel is a vigilante, noted for being hardcore and possessing no sense of humor whatsoever.

By touching his Second Strength Crystal, Merriweather can transform into Major Power, a duplicate of an unknown (and deceased) Knight of Prester John.

A scrawny black man, in his 40s or 50s. Cellophane is a career, professional criminal, but not, himself, a violent one, although he has few scruples about his co-workers. His talents are in high demand, and it's known that he is, himself, quite wealthy.

Black Bob Napier was a young man who grew up with a lifelong obsession with classic tales of pirates. This grew to consume his life, and he eventually became a pirate, dressing in traditional garb, talking like Long John Silver, and attacking shipping with an old-fashioned wooden vessel.

A tall, somewhat elderly south american man with silvering hair and a handsome smile, Lord Nova has recently started wearing a helmetless suit of armor. He favors long cloaks, Roman-era architecture, and talks a lot like Khan Noonian Singh as played by Ricardo Montalbon. He has been an active supervillain since at least 1938. He controls a secret empire in La Inferna Verde in Brazil, and makes regular attempts to conquer the remainder of the New World through advanced technology, armed minions, and subtle conspiracies. Over the years, he has made many, many enemies.

Until about 1970, Lord Nova demonstrated no superpowers beyond an astonishing intellect, great charisma, formidable personal skills, and the fact that he apparently didn't age.

He has access to a great deal of advanced technology, armies of minions, and incredible resources.
