DC10: El Heraldo is a fairly recent young hero wearing a garish costume and carrying a flagpole with the Puerto Rican flag on it. He seems to have the normal 'paragon' powerset. He's inexperienced, and is only rarely seen. He seems to spend most of his time around Bayview and Lincoln, occasionally near the Waterfront.

DC15: EL Heraldo appears to have some kind of supplementary powers attached to his flagpole, and seeing as a golden aura shaped like a flag floats around him, him being some kind of national spirit-bearer appears likely. He is most often spotted around Bayview, especially around the area of Claremont Academy, the mysterious and prestigious private school.

DC20: El Heraldo is a student at Claremont, and is the latest in a line of superheroes bearing the same name that claim to be empowered by the spirit of Puerto Rico.

The Bee-Keeper III

/Knowledge [streetwise]":33wtb37x]DC5: The Bee-Keeper is a nefarious villain with a history as rich as Freedom City itself, most notably as a villainous cad whom has gone toe-to-toe with the Freedom League.

DC 10: As of late, the Bee-Keeper has returned to Freedom City, though no heinous crimes have yet to be perpetrated.

DC 15: In fact, if anything, the Bee-Keeper has done nothing but contribute to the city's well-being by fighting crime, insisting that he's not "the same Bee-Keeper."

DC 20: The Bee-Keeper III is a legacy to the same dastardly villain, and is often seen racing to the scene of the action from the nearby Franklin D. Roosevelt High School.

DC 25: Strangely, locals in the area around FDR High have recognized one of the students disappearing around the back of the campus, where the old trailers sit on the football field, only to have the Bee-Keeper leave the same vicinity moments later.

DC 30: The aforementioned student is one Baxter Bowles, and his timely disappearances seem to be linked to the Bee-Keeper III.

Baxter Bowles

DC 5: Baxter Bowles is an attendee at Franklin D. Roosevelt High School.

DC 10: He lives somewhere in the Bayview area with his parents.

DC 15: Currently, he's been having problems in class; particularly with missed days and an excess of tardiness. Much of this is due to the backlash of his Uncle Barry Bowles, the previous Bee-Keeper, and his reign of terror before being apprehended. Getting into fights has become a staple of his as of late, though they've been minor scuffles at best.

DC 20: Friends and classmates have reported a marked increase in bruises, with Baxter himself often falling asleep during class. Other times, he simply vanishes between periods, very rarely returning to class. It's caused more than a bit of tension between the young teenager and his teachers.

DC 25: More observant students have noticed Baxter slinking off behind the old trailers on the football field, a frequent site for kids who smoke to congregate during lunch and after class.

DC 30: Kids who have stuck around long enough have noticed the Bee-Keeper show up from behind the trailers, right where Baxter was moments ago!

The Bloodhound Detective Agency

Knowledge (Streetwise or Civics) or Gather Information

DC 10 Yeah, that crummy outfit in the Fens? They are freelance detectives.

DC 15 Unprofessional, but they get the job done. The short guy, called Bloody Mess, he’s the muscle. He may be short but he is super strong, a real tough guy.

DC 20 Heard they take on a few charity cases, if ya can’t pay. Got a soft heart, I guess. Maybe that’s why they don’t make much money…

DC 25 They ain’t too friendly with the Mob. Frankie Flames tried to burn the place down last year, ended up with concussion and a prison sentence after the Mess caught him. Mob would love to see the end of that place…

Freddy Furlong / Bloody Mess

Knowledge (Streetwise) or Gather Information

DC 10 Ain’t he that short-ass from that detective agency…what’s it called now…

DC 15 He’s that short-assed superhero, works for the Bloodhound Detective Agency. A mean bruiser, but he got a good heart.

DC 25 I saw him once…he threw up a load of blood, and he looked like a shrivelled up old walnut. And then, the blood he lost, it walked off! I kid you not!

DC 30 Freddy? Rumour was, the Mob used him as muscle, and when he said no, that’s when they shot him. Trouble was, that didn’t stop him. Just made a mess. Two of them, they don’t get along…

Harry “The Hound†Hound

DC 10 That stinking weasel, always snooping around. Don’t he work at that place in the Fens now…what’s it called…tip of my tounge….

DC 15 That cowardly rat, works in the Bloodhound detective agency. Always hiding behind that short assed meat head. Don’t get me wrong, he got a nose that sniffs out any trouble, and Freddy, that’s his superhero muscle meathead partner who is a bit vertically challenged, well, he is more than tough enough…

DC 20 That good for nothing snake. Use to work in the police force. Said he was pretty good too, if he weren’t so damned lazy. Ain’t professional, that’s what they said. Waste of talent…

DC 25 That snivelling worm. Set up his own detective agency and took on Bloody Mess as the Superhero muscle. He got a detectives nose, but he can’t work with the police. Untidy, messy, unprofessional, late. That agency got talent, but Bloody Mess keeps taking on charity cases and Harry can’t say no. Between that and the Mob breathing down their neck, they don’t make much.

DC 30 That doggone dog. Saw him scratch a dog behind the ear and bark to it. Crazy….

DC20: Some spirits are known to take human form, associate with mortals - and on rare occasions, fall in love with them.

DC30: Temperance is the product of one such union between spirit and flesh.

[Gizmo]

Set

Knowledge [Arcane Lore] or [Theology and Philosophy]

DC 10: Set is the Ancient Egyptian god of darkness, chaos, storms, the desert and foreigners best known for dismembering his brother Osiris and waging eternal battle against his nephew Horus. Anyone on the mortal plane looking to bargain with divine forces would be foolish to seek Set as a patron.

DC 15: In the late 1960s a snake cultist attempted to summon Set and was instead possessed by the malevolent deity. Set the Destroyer took command of the serpent people and their associated cults and frequently did battle with the superheroes of the time. Horus the Avenger found a way around the Pact so that he could stand against his evil uncle. Agents of Isis have also demonstrated a particularly vehement enmity for Set.

DC 20: Before becoming a force of evil, Set was tasked with battling the godkiller serpent Apep each night, ensuring that Ra, the sun and leader of the gods of Heliopolis, would rise again in the morning. Eventually his arrogant boasting became too grating and he was stripped of his post.

Neither Set nor Horus have been seen on the mortal plane for decades, nor have they been answering any summons or prayers directly. There is disagreement in the mystic and theological community as to whether they have been destroyed, severely weakened or are merely occupied elsewhere.

DC 25: The story of reincarnation the godling calling himself Set puts forth is not without precedent. Horus himself was originally one of the Ennead before falling in battle with Apep and being reincarnated as the son of Isis and Osiris. It's worth noting that this was only accomplished with the help of Isis herself, however.

Knowledge [History]

DC 10: Set the Destroyer was the name of a major supervillain in the Silver Age. He had mystic and shapeshifting powers and was primarily opposed by his nemesis Horus the Avenger, though it often took multiple heroes working together to stop his plans for world domination. Even compared to other villains of the time he was considered egotistical and melodramatic.

DC 15: The Destroyer was reportedly an unfortunate snake cultist who had been possessed and overtaken by the ancient Egyptian god Set after a botched ritual. Both he and Horus always maintained that they were the actual gods of myth and legend, as well as uncle and nephew respectively.

DC 20: Set was known to team-up on occasion with other villains when their goals coincided. These alliances tended to quickly fall apart due to infighting, however, with Set himself frequently the betrayer. He had a particularly bad falling out with the hydrokinetic tyrant Typhoon when the latter stole a powerful artifact from him and left him to face the Freedom League alone.

Gather information or Knowledge [Popular Culture]

DC 10: Set is the name of the fresh new teenage hero who has been popping up everywhere in traditional and social media lately. Confident and outgoing, he's said repeatedly that he plans to be the greatest superhero of all time. You can follow Set on Twitter @readySETgo .

DC 15: Set uses lightning bolts, animated shadows and miniature sandstorms to defeat criminals. He's almost always accompanied by statuesque powerhouse named Sekhmet and unlike many heroes makes a point of sticking around after saving the day to talk to reporters. He's featured in a number of popular photosets and reaction GIFs on Tumblr, thanks in no small part to his habit of running around shirtless. You can follow Set on Tumblr at helihiphopolis.tumblr.com .

DC 20: Set was also the name of a villain back in the Silver Age. It's probably his granddad or something; redeeming villainous legacies is so hot right now. You cannot follow Set on MySpace. MySpace is for losers, geez.

DC 15: Freedom Eagle is a a superhero who's shown up around Freedom City a year ago. The locals seem to like him.

No word on if this Freedom Eagle is his grandkid, a robot, a clone, a robot-clone or what.
