Madame Orage
Madame Orage is the basic creation of Miss Stephanie Polacek who is credited with the start of the team. Orage was born in Verona, Italy as Stephanie Zoe Renshe, the child of a grape farmer who had his own vineyard and winery. She acquired the ability to control the weather on a night when her father was slain out in the fields by an old friend. Zoe, who was 11 years old at the time wandered into the fields to find her father after the same friend came back to the house to rob them and killed her mother. In the fields she found her father beaten to death and lay there next to him through the night. A violent storm came up and her body was bombarded by bolts of lightning as she lay there. When the sun came up she had the ability to fly and to call every type of storm imaginable as well as effect the elements of earth, wind and fire.
She became Madame Orage one night, after years of living in the United States, when a woman who's sexual preference did not meet with the acceptance of a neo-nazi group and for the first time went out in costume and unleashed the full fury of the storm.

Silver Bison
The Silver Bison is the creation of Mr. Darren Kuncl who imagined an Irishman with a family history tied to the ownership of an Irish Pub in Nebraska. His father, and his father's father opened the pub to take advantage of people traveling up the Missouri River and coming and going by bus and plane. The family's money actually came from shipping however, and ties to organized crime. Darren became the beast one night when he was closing up the family business, Bennigan's Tavern. Darren Austin Bennigan was taking trash out to the dumpster before turning the lights out and locking up and discovered a strange Indian totem in the shape of a buffalo on the ground. When he picked it up the world went crazy around him and he felt his body literally torn apart. He lay there in the alley for hours before two street bums found him and tried to rob him. They died that night when the beast made its first appearance. He has the ability to run as fast as the speed of sound, though it drains him over a long use, has super strength and is invulnerable.

Thunderbolt
The character of Thunderbolt was created my Mrs. Heather Bennett Malina. Thunderbolt gets her powers from a pair of bracelets that are handed down to someone new when the previous bearer dies. Melody Heather Manners, known as "Bad Manners" to her father found the bracelets while exploring her grandparents farm. She found a UFO crashed in their apple orchard and there lying dead next to it was the alien called The Stranger. She took the braclets out of curiosity as well as an electronic device that looked almost like a much smaller and more sophisticated notebook. After weeks of trying to decipher the alien words on the device she accidentally activated the bracelets and learned of the great power she possessed while she wore them. Her first use of the power came when she hunted down and killed the corrupt police officers who murdered her father. Her next appearance came years later after she had graduated from high school, on a night when two frightened workers at a gas stop needed a miracle to save them from murderous thieves. Thunderbolt can fly, is invulnerable, has super strength and can project blasts of plasma energy from her clenched fists. She can also has the unintentional ability to destroy all of the glass within a nine square block area when she calls her powers, "Call me, Call Me Thunderbolt!"

Silver Streak
Silver Streak was created by Mr. Thomas Jackson with the ability to move at the speed of light. because of his ability he can vibrate through solid objects, run on water, generate powerful winds, even a funnel cloud, and of course he can run very very fast. His only other power is an ability to slow time around him almost to a stop. he got his power accidentally while working for a medical research firm that was developing something ilegal that could enhance an athlete's abilities in a manner that steroids are used, but something much more powerful than steroids. When Thomas James Maxwell discovered what was happening he reported it to a superior who turned out to be a major player in the conspiracy and ordered Tom killed. he was given a lethal injection of the drug and left for dead in a remote forested area but what the killers didn't expect was that the drug would react differently to Tom's unique physiology and change him into something much more than normal.

The Sentinel
The Sentinel was created by me. Doug Youngs. As a child Lawrence Douglas Peterson often spent time where his father worked, Hawk Securities LLC. The owner had no heir when she died so she wrote it in her will that young Larry Peterson, who was like a grandson to her, would inherit the business and take over its operation when he was old enough and knowledgeable enough to handle it. As the owner of the company he had access to advanced technology and the company began to reach beyond what other companies were doing in the way of providing security and self defense systems. Lawrence Peterson was a single parent of an 11 year old daughter he adopted. His thinking about the rights of criminals and how criminals should meet justice was severely affected when a pedophile abducted his daughter and over a period of several days abused her, then murdered her. Years later such a man escaped justice on the same type of crime on a technicality. On the day the courts dismissed his case, he decided to take a walk, and it was late, dark out and he got the wrong feelings about a child and on his way to abduct one he had seen, the pedophile named Gideon Vogel ran into Lawrence Peterson in the dark, but it wasn't Lawrence Peterson anymore, but instead a costumed vigilante called The Sentinel and Gideon Vogel met justice the way it says in the BIble, "an eye for an eye."

Lady Mysteria
Lady Mysteria started out as the creation of Miss Sadie Leigh Van Norman, who is now Mrs. Sadie Micek, but became a colaberation when she lived to much at a distance and it just wasn't convenient for her. The character began as a child named Sadie Van Essen who due to an unknown illness had to be hospitalized and because of a shortage of beds was roomed with another patient, an elderly man who was dying. She started out uncomfortable in the situation but over several days they became very good friends. When he died, on the same day that Sadie was released he left her a note to thank her for her kindness and he left her a book, one that was very old and nothing like she had ever seen before. She soon discoverd as she began reading the book that as she read the words vanished from the pages. It was strange but she never told anyone. Then one day she was walking home in the rain and wished she had an umbrella and one appeared. She wished for another one and it appeared. Then she decided she was thirsty and a bottle of 7up appeared. Over time she discovered that when she wanted to do something strange words would form in her mind and as she said them aloud she could do amazing things. Later, as an adult she met Alexandria Jean Dimplemeier and found that she too could do some amazing things so they settled on the idea of becoming a team and using their abilities to make a living as entertainers, The ladies of The Night. Lady Mysteria can conjure almost anything and create illusions. She can also fly.
Blackout
I actually created Blackout myself for Miss Natasha Hibler who is family to me and someone I helped raise. My thoughts on the subject of super-heroes was always contagious and she wanted the chance to make use of her imagination to be one too. Originally I called the character Blackout and was very proud of the name and the look but then I ran into copyright issues with one of the comic book companies so it was changed to Spectra, but Blackout is the better name and so we chose to buck he copyright rule. Blackout started out as Natasha Faith Dill, the child of scientists who studied ancient civilizations. They were recruited for an expedition to the mountains of Tibet to investigate the population of a new race of ancient people and while exploring a cave, the family was trapped in a cave-in and her parents perished. She was trapped in the cave alone for a week, breathing a strange green gas and drinking water from a pool that glowed green as well. She finally discovered an opening that took her out of the cave after wandering about blindly. Starving and in a weakened condition she collapsed and lay unconscious for 2 days before being found by monks who lived higher up in the mountains in an ancient monastery. The monks discovered that she had a terrible power over light and helped her learn to control it. Spectra has the power to absorb all of the light out of a controlled area, casting that area in to pitch black darkness, or she can create light to the point of making it brighter than the sun in the same area. She also has the ability to absorb ordinary light and convert it to laser energy that she focuses as a weapon from her eyes and she can create objects out of light, and she can also teleport from place to place. While she was with them the monks taught her to fight with her hands and feet as well.
