DC SUPER BRIGADE OF MASKED HEROES (click for descriptions):
THOSE FABULOUS AMBIGUOUS CHARACTERS WHO WALK THE LINE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL...
The Uber Talented Much Sought After Ashbet
SUPERVILLAINS (about whom little is yet known...)
Agent Flightless was trained by a secret militant order of man-hating feminists who were bent on making the world exactly like Wonder Woman's home island. Being a free spirit who viewed feminism in a different, more positive light, Flightless fled to complete her training with the aid of DC's Super Brigade of Masked Heroes. That's DCSBMH for short. (They're working on the name.) She quickly became the eyes and ears of the brigade using her catlike stealth to gather information and spy on supervillains such as Countess Van Spookymittens and Pantsless Man. She is now an integral, well-respected member of the team. Villains tremble at her name. She was given her name by the dashing Agent Guinness...who so named her for the ability to escape any situation as if she had wings. Giving this more thought and after a few more cocktails, Agent Guinness decided she was like a flightless bird. Thus Agent Flightless was born.

Ashbet was a shy little girl who at a very young age developed a desire to conquer the universe. In order to do this she decided that a fabulous wardrobe was a must. She attended design school and became a famous designer. Scorned and destroyed by a jealous rival designer whom she once loved, Ashbet turned to a life of super villainy! She became the uber super villain of all time while managing to keep her identity secret. Over time the quest to conquer the universe began to bore her due to the lack of interesting designs and abundance of colorless hair so she retired from super villainy. Having made a niche for herself in the underworld she decided to infiltrate the universe in a more interesting, devious way. Ashbet became designer of the costumes and fabulous hair accessories to spy, superhero and villain alike! Her flair for style, color and ability to choose just the right boot for any occasion has lulled spy, superhero and villain into a false sense of security, thus leaving the opportunity for Ashbet to rise as uber super villain once more (if she ever feels like it). Ashbet's true appearance is known to few. She is the mistress of disguise.
Specialties: Artistic hair and clothing creations; weapons that appear to be artistic hair and clothing creations; building others self confidence (AKA fluffing egos); disguises; flair for looking fabulous even in bad weather; boots that others would kill for and have!
Uber Super Secret Weapon: Ability to make a drag queen cry just by looking more fabulous than they ever could.
Ashbet's appearance changes like a chameleon.
Spectral Kitten is a sexy, rather short human with a sleek coat of silvery (frost-colored) fur and a prehensile tail. Can leap like a cat, can extend or retract her long silver razor-sharp claws, and can see in the dark. She doesn't exactly turn invisible but has a knack for seemingly disappearing into the background, especially when there is even a hint of shadows.
Often appears in a kimono or long coat to disguise her furriness, but forgets to keep the tip of your tail from peeking out... Plus the obligatory black leather CATsuit for active adventures! She also commissions certain specialized weapons and tools from Ashbet.
Her appearance and nocturnal nature make it rare for her to go out by day, so she often stays behind at DCSBMH headquarters.
Spectral Kitten may have been sent to maintain the balance between good & evil. There are rumors that she may even be that most powerful and spectral of creatures, the Narrator...
Agent Guinness is a plucky sort of fellow who has been with the Brigade since its formation 4 years ago. He is a visionary genius of many talents who comes from great wealth. At age 14, his parents were killed in a mission overseas while defeating and killing the evil supervillain Pants Man, father of Pantsless Man. Their death created a sworn vengeance between Agent Guinness and Pantsless Man, who at that time was called No Pants Boy. Agent Guinness inherited the family fortune and estate at the age of 21. By the age of 22 he had wasted away a large sum of inheritance on young woman, fast cars and fabulous suits. It is rumored that he learned his defense skills from training he received as a bodyguard for Frank Sinatra. All other skills he learned at Acme Spy school from where he graduated 15th in his class. However, he demonstrated more promise than this rating projected due to his being suspended briefly for being found intoxicated and nude in the bushes with a female spy school peer. He explained this incident as practicing being undercover for a night surveillance tactic. He was given points for initiative in a tight spot and was reinstated at a lower placing in his class rank. If this incident had not occurred he would have ranked 3rd in his class of 300. He now houses the Uber Secret Brigade headquarters in his vast basement and supplies housing for Super Hero/Spy types. (The ones he likes, anyway.) Since the death of his parents, Agent Guinness has spoken with an English accent. He will deny that he is speaking in any accent other than his natural Irish accent and can become highly annoyed when questioned in regards to this peculiarity.
Specialties: Master of charm and charisma; expert marksman; expert race car driver; speaks 3 languages; ability to seem as if speaking far more languages; capable of making anyone believe the unbelievable; can wear white without ever mussing his clothes; chick magnet and all around nice guy.
Uber Super Secret Weapon: Eardrums of steel which allow him to use supersonic devices to inflict pain on his enemies.
Costume: He wears impeccable suits designed by Mistress Ashbet with matching dashing hats that house "toys" of various natures and purposes. His wingtip shoes also conceal various "toys". Favorite evening attire is white jacket, black tie and black trousers.
*Caution* Although Agent Guinness is a highly efficient operative he has many quirks that can cause disruption if not kept in check during a mission. These include: a love for young coeds, good beer, cocktails at precisely 6PM with no allowable deviation, Frank Sinatra and fast cars. He should never be questioned about his accent. I repeat never. In addition if his dark secret is ever discovered by an enemy it could place him and his fellow operatives in peril. This is why sobriety in combat interrogation situations is imperative. The enemy should at all costs never be allowed to give Agent Guinness booze.
Agent X is a superhero of many formidable talents. Her place of origin and parents are unknown. It is believed that her mother was a Siren and that her father bore the X gene. She is believed to be part mythical creature/part mutant. This can not be confirmed until either her parents are found or some mad scientist kidnaps her and performs unauthorized experimentation. The breadth of her mutant power spectrum is not known. She is quite private. One noted ability is the Siren's song. She has also been known to stun male and female adversaries with her sultry appearance leaving them helpless for a period of time.
Specialties: The Siren's song is capable of luring a male adversary to Agent X from up to 1 mile on dry land and 15 miles at sea. Her sultry beauty can mesmerize both male and female foes for up to 30 minutes. One known mutant quality is super strength. X has the strength of approximately 10, in fairly good shape, men. X also can instantly translate and speak any language within minutes of translation.
Uber Super Secret Weapon: Knives that shoot from arm bands with uncanny accuracy; black belt in 7 forms of martial arts; expert locksmith.
Costume: X can be seen in a variety of costumes that always consist of her trademarks: accent color of crimson vixen red, stiletto boots and metallic bracelets. She is most fond of an evening dress look that is split above her hip on each side with a low cut bodice that resembles a bustier. She has several different types of bracelets. Depending on the type of knife or weapon she may need for the job decides the bracelet for the outfit. They are a high-density metal, silver in color that extend from her wrist to her elbow much like medieval bracers. One or both may also have a piece that runs down the middle of her hand securing around her middle finger for concealment of lock-picking tools. Her hair is long and is worn loose until she is ready to battle. While her prey is mesmerized, she will often take the time to secure her hair out of her way.
*Caution* It is believed that X's father was a berserker. This trait is often hereditary. Agent X should at all costs be kept from tasting blood in battle. The potential for her to go berserk is high.
The beginning of Agent Shhh's M.O.
Agent Shhh was born to parents of strong mutant abilities. His mother was the mistress of confusion and illusion. His father was a shape shifter with unlimited morphing capabilities. After the mysterious disappearance of Shhh's parents, he was raised by his uncle Brad and his uncle's partner Lex. Shhh's mutant abilities seem to change frequently and without notice. There is no explanation for this phenomena. However, two abilities have remained consistent since Shhh's puberty. Shhh presents as an attractive mostly gay man who can at will morph into a beautiful, petite mostly straight Asian woman. His strength is that of approximately 20 in, fairly good shape, men.
Agent Shhhh mostly gay man costume: Agent Shhh is impeccably dressed in tight shirts that show his rippling muscles and tight (washboard) abs with an appropriate pair of matching pants. He prefers a comfortable yet fashionable style of footwear.
Agent Shhh mostly straight Asian chick costume: School girl skirt that rides on her hips, white button blouse half shirt that exposes her belly button, knee highs, platform mary janes which conceal tiny retractable spikes for kicking. (Note: This costume produces helplessness in Flightless and many others.)
This is just the beginning of Shhh...
Agent Telie 13 (or "13" for short) -- Details coming!
Specialties: Headbanging...
Uber Super Secret Weapons: 13's hair can change color at will, but it saps her energy if she chooses a color that is not natural for her. When resting, her hair has a prismatic, diamond-like appearance. It's clear, yet contains and refracts all colors of the spectrum. Her hair when active runs through shades of blue ranging through to a deep purple depending on her mood. However, she can will her hair to take on any color variation.
and...?
Costume: All I can tell you so far is that she always looks fabulous...
