Loosely based on Morrison’s version.
THE SHADE (The Shining Knight)
The Shade gathers his Seven Soldiers of Villainy. While he def. doesn’t shine, and he’s not a Knight, The Shade’s had a decades long rivalry w. the a family named Knight. It’s a stretch, yes, but The Shade has just the right mix of brains charisma and power to keep a cutthroat team like this in line.
RAPTOR (Manhattan Guardian)
The requisite street leveler. Guardian has great h2h skills and a Golden Shield, while Raptor is a trained assassin w. a Golden Suyolak; a glove that’s pretty much his version of a Utility belt. It has several different functions, most of them deadly.
ECLIPSO (Zatanna)
Unlike the lovable, upstanding Zatanna, Jean Loring is just a straight up despicable person w. no redeeming qualities. Her being the host to Eclipso is a perfect storm of evil, and let’s her wield some major dark magic which she revels in using to destroy anyone in her way.
KING KID (Klarion)
The ruler of The Funlands, a dimension populated entirely by lost and broken children, King Kid is a twisted little sociopath who tortures his subjects in imaginative ways. He’s clever enough to have brought The Marvel Family to their knees.
EVIL STAR (Mr. Miracle)
Like MM, Evil Star has a gaudy costume w. a large flowing cape. An evil genius, Evil Star has taken the fight to The Guardians of The Universe and proven a legit threat. MM has a Mother Box w. which he accomplishes his most excellent feats, and Evil Star has The Star Band, which lets him do the same. Things like energy blasts/constructs, illusion casting, mind scans, force fields, molecular reconstruction...
REIGN (Bulleteer)
She doesn’t have metallic skin, but she’s invulnerable, and a nice shade of gunmetal grey. She’s fast, strong, and intimidating af. She’s called a World Killer, that pretty much says it all.
ULTRA HUMANITE (Frankenstein)
Dr. Frankenstein created a monster, but Dr. Gerard Shugel made himself a monster. He’s been transferring his brain from body to body for almost a hundred years now, and is incredibly dangerous in terms of raw power, and the fact that he sees ppl as merely potential lab rats.
