THE FREEDOM LEAGUE
The Bowman
Bowman IV (Fletcher Beaumont III): Grandson of the original Bowman, first graduate of the Claremont Academy, and
member of the Freedom League.
The Bowman, newest member of the League was the first to fall. Leading a counter-offensive into the heart of the overwhelming drone army with hundreds of police, army personnel, and civilian militia. It was said that his presence alone inspired hope in Freedom's defenders, until for one split second he hesitated--deciding on a target for his final arrows...
Johnny Rocket
Johnny Rocket II (John Wade): Member of the Freedom League with super-speed, grandson of Johnny Rocket I. Outed as
gay as few years ago.
Johnny Rocket between heartbeats could be felt as a blur on the battlefield--either bludgeoning entire platoons unconscious or evacuating scores of civilians from harm's way. The invadering Khanate Shocklords outmaneuvered him by irradiating air pockets around a group of endangered civilians. As Johnny blazed through the area to remove the civilians, his hyperspeed metabolism turned his cell structure cancerous. Each use of his super-speed accellerated the disease. Johnny privately fought the disease spread for weaks before he was eaten alive by it.
===Dr. Metropolis=== Doctor Metropolis
Dr. Metropolis the “Spirit of Cities” that appeared after the Terminus Invasion to help rebuild Freedom City, able to control
and shape urban environments. A member of the Freedom League.
The destruction being levelled against Freedom City by an alien menace drove Doc Metro into a rage. With dozens of heroes already fallen, in a stroke of heroic inspiration he transferred his consciousness into the Statue of Centurion ("the big guy that watches over us") and began blindly smashing his way through Grue War Machines and the Khanate Armada. He was scattered into atomic particles by an orbital pulse beam from the Star-Khan's ship.
Siren
Siren II (Cassandra Vale): Voodoo loa (goddess) of the sea, bonded with a mortal psychologist, and wielding power over the sea and weather. Protector of New Orleans.
Siren was able to initially neutralize large parts of the invasion force using her weather control powers to delay troopships and battle craft but she had to leave herself vulnerable to do so. The villainous Baron Samedi took advantage of the bodies of the Police assault force that had been led by Bowman's last stand and used his zombies to overwhelm Siren. She was drowned in a sea of undead flesh, her powers tied up, protecting her precious city. Nearly beaten to death at the hands of the Puesdo, Baron Samedi would be taken down by the remaining heroes and locked away in Blackstone.
