An ex-marine who was indoctrinated into a practice called “skin-grafting” where he can take on others sins onto his flesh by way of tattoos. He can then animate those sins into living entities. Has come into ownership of Nega-Bands.
Congress is meeting to sign into effect the 50-State Initiative bill proposed by Senator Arthur Woodman that will mobilize state-operated super-powered teams to combat local terrorist threats. This is interrupted when countless HYDRA agents swarm the place, led into battle by Crossbones, Bravo, Carmilla Black, and Host. Wonder Woman drops in to intervene.
There lives a house of ill repute. One that draws weird things to its doorstep. There is a door. Some call it the Last Door and the things that knock are not always what they seem. Once a box was made and it exists to hold all the evils of this reality. It was never meant to be opened, but prying eyes, as they are. The coven of the House of Mystery exists to welcome all guests at their door. To peek inside that box. To right the wrongs that plague this reality.
It’s hard to pin Blade down into a single archetype. He’s not a glass cannon, and he’s not a berserker or reaver. He excels at range or in close and hitting hard. However, he can exploit weak points and spread conditions like a control caster when he does. He doesn’t come with abundant health but makes up for that with good damage reduction and health regeneration.
Cardiac is a shock trooper archetype literally. His kit balances electricity-based blasting with strong attacks and counter-attacks with staves that he can infuse with electrical energy to stun enemies. His vibranium skin makes him hard to hurt and his beta particle reactor heart gives him active healing. He’s a surgeon at heart, so he can also bring allies back from the brink and heal others.
Nico is a young caster, who can bend reality to her will with nothing but a word. She can use standard sorcery to fly and bring others with her, and a batter of energy blasts and hexes. She can also drain others to power her health and focus. The most powerful tool in her kit though, is channeling Powerful Hex through her Staff of One which allows her to cast any spell she wants with a single word. As long as she hasn’t done so before.
a genetically-engineered human created by AIM, Carmilla is enhanced to perform beyond peak physical ability, and her arm has been mutated into a venomous “stinger.” Now as an agent of HYDRA, what she lacks in experience, she makes up for with viciousness.
Crossbones is a mercenary of great and ill-repute. He’s worked with, and for a litany of the worst villains from Taskmaster to Red Skull. A constant thorn in Captain American’s side.
The portal city of Pan always had a tenuous position in Asia. But with all of the fractured realities seeping into this one, Pan’s portals are speeding up the process, and the city at the center has become a powder keg on the verge of collapse. This puts the Agents of Atlas—Pan’s mostly young protectors—in a dangerous spot. They’ll need to protect the people of Pan while navigating the surreality that threatens to engulf it all.
Host is a member of HYDRA’s supernatural and occult black-bag group, DOA. His body is a Pandora’s Box of creepy crawlies which he can force to do his bidding.
