Name: Terra Nova/D.I.S.C.O.R.D.
Real name: N/A
Terra Nova is an organization that was formed in the days of World War II when superheroes fought the Axis powers. They saw the rise of these heroes as a threat to mankind's evolution and an affront to nature. Seeking to end their reign on the Earth, they continually fought metahumans until the gene that caused their powers mysteriously went into submission. Biding their time, Terra Nova also went into hiding for they knew that the gene would resurface once again.
Another organization calling itself D.I.S.C.O.R.D. picked up the slack and absorbed Terra Nova. Instead of looking for metahumans, that organization was bent solely on world domination. Once they were defeated by Jack Whitefox and his team, they went into hiding and Terra Nova resurfaced once word got out about a team of young metahuman heroes making a name for themselves as Earth's protectors.
Once first contact with aliens was made, the organization also decided to switch gears and strove to make Earth ONLY for humans. Their goal was to make sure humanity never reached the stars for fear the planet would be tainted by relations from other words. They even went so far as to hire a rapist to kill the king of Aquarius. Eventually, they were defeated and haven't been heard from until word got out about their final fate.
D.I.S.C.O.R.D., the Dedicated International Society for Crimes of wRath and Destruction has had its roots in the 1980s as an organization dedicated to bringing chaos to a world full of order. Their belief is that they feel that they have to shape the world to suit their needs. THAT is why they are still around. People will follow what they feel is right and D.I.S.C.O.R.D. is one of those organizations that would sugarcoat their deeds in the name of their own righteousness.
Lead by General Discord and Dr. Demented, the organization went into hiding and recently emerged in the wake of Terra Nova's destruction. Now, they seek to hunt down anyone involved with the super-soldier program known as "Project Liberty's Children", Metahumans and aliens are threatened as they adopted Terra Nova's belief that Earth should be for humans only.
Along the way, they have been joined by minor super-villains such as Granite, Princess and others. In the past they had been minor metahuman threats. Now, thanks to D.I.S.C.O.R.D., they had been augmented with enhancements. Also, thanks to the organization's mad science, they even brought back Soldier Six as clones.
One of their most prominent members is former Soldier Six operative, Cobra, who had been brought back from the dead to continue his path of deceit and destruction.
Notable members:
Clive Marshall:
Clive Marshall was a scientist responsible for bringing together his own team of metahumans for Terra Nova. He got wind of Stan Whitefox's developing the Starbolts program and wanted to duplicate his efforts by any means necessary. For over twenty years he held a metahuman girl named Sara Edwards captive in his laboratory and had his eyes on the children of two Terra Nova operatives named Crystal and Dennis. Dennis was adopted and was secretly an alien called Firaxil Odanta. Clive helped to ensure that the alien never knew his true heritage. Crystal and Dennis were eventually saved and became the Starbolts known as Wildcat and Titanus.
The doctor is a purist who believes the metahuman gene to be a subversion of humanity rather than an evolution. As a scientist he wants to study and understand it in the hopes of developing a vaccine. For this reason he kept Sara hidden away from prying eyes such as his students and used her to suit his own needs by experimenting on her. Eventually, she escaped and joined the Starbolts much to his disappointment.
He went into hiding and his students would eventually be called The Legion.
Name: The Legion
The Legion are a group of villains from all walks of life and races. They were formed by Demonstorm because he wanted to test the Starbolts' strength against their most deadliest foes in a tournament. After it finished, the group decided to stay together and work closely with Cobra and D.I.S.C.O.R.D. It didn't help that many members of the Legion had teamed up before as the students of Dr. Clive Marshall.
The most prominent members are:
Cobra aka Richard Smythe:
He is an expert marksman and the leader of the team. He was once a former member of Soldier Six, the organization which predated the Starbolts. He was supposedly killed the day D.I.S.C.O.R.D. island exploded and was eventually brought back to life by Demonstorm himself. Once he was in a new body, Cobra decided to renew his affiliation with D.I.S.C.O.R.D.
Cassandra Zarantha:
Cassandra Zarantha is a centuries old witch with the ability to cast illusions, alter peoples' thoughts, enter dreams and all other forms of dark magic. She helped Cobra get a new body of his own and decided to help the Legion as long as it suited her needs.
Princess aka Carla Smith:
Carla comes from a spoiled background and was one of Clive's early recruits into the Terra Nova version of the Starbolts. She was to be a field leader and once it became apparent that she possessed no metahuman abilities a special suit of armor was designed for her. This suit allows her to fly, shoot energy blasts and generate a force field.
Granite aka Craig Stone:
Craig was a star linebacker for his high school football team until his metahuman genes activated and he was turned into a giant rock-like monster. Because of his transformation, his intelligence dwindled. It wasn't until recently that he was finally able to maintain some resemblance of an intelligent mind along with his incredible strength.
Valentine aka Valentina Ferraro:
Valentina is a woman capable of putting men under her control with her pheromones. She is also an accomplished martial artist. Clive Marshall handpicked her to be one of his many "femme fatales" he'd unleash upon the world. After many years of being a villain she and her boyfriend Simon have been unsure of their place in the world and regret having consistently choosing either to side with Terra Nova or its replacement, D.I.S.C.O.R.D.
Punchline aka Simon Wheeler:
Simon is a man who is able to create perfect duplicates of himself. This came in handy for Terra Nova's need for manpower. He is literally a one man army. The only problem is that he had never been sure of himself or his place as a member of the Legion. In all honesty, he would rater stay with his girlfriend. Though, he secretly isn't sure if his feelings for Valentina are real or if they are a product of him being continually exposed to her pheromones.
Syntax:
He is a robot with no love for humanity and was designed using Norad's stolen blueprints. He is an effective guard and will serve the Legion as long as it suits him to be with beings lesser than himself. Syntax constantly looks to upgrade himself and wants to become the ultimate synthetic lifeform by any means necessary.
Spectra aka Lise Jansen:
Lise was a young woman experimented on by her brother, Sven and Clive Marshall. They wanted to create a being capable of tapping into the entire color spectrum and use its energy to generate concussive energy blasts. Unfortunately, the process left her mute for some time. Eventually she regained the ability to speak. Instead of choosing her own path, she decided to side with the Legion in their quest to destroy the Starbolts.
Dreadwing aka Dr. Sven Jansen:
Dr. Sven Jansen was a teenage protege of Dr. Marshall who wanted metahuman abilities. Clive was only too happy to assist him in his work and eventually the young man became a scaly orange skinned, bat-winged monster with superhuman strength.
Tornado aka Thomas Wyngarde:
Tom is a man capable of generating gale force winds and creating tornadoes. His high speeds is matched only by his mouth, which has gotten him into trouble with his mentor. He is also a bit of a player.
Jack Lantern aka Jacob O'Clare:
A man capable of controlling plant life and grow vines out of his body. He is one of Marshall's star pupils and seeks to prove his worth around titans such as Granite and Spectra.
Backdraft aka Marshall Thompson:
He is a man whose suit gives him fire based abilities. At first he thought it would be a great idea to strike out on his own and become a master assassin. He didn't do as well as he'd hope as he ran into Centurion, Ricardo Arlandero. He joined with the Legion after they promised to enhance his armor.
Nautilus aka Zachary Benton:
Zachary is an Australian mercenary operating out of a beach house near Townsville, Australia. He was an associate of D.I.S.C.O.R.D.'s who often performs hits for them. Benton has a mad hatred for Aquans as he felt that they were responsible for his family's death at the hands of the Mosqukatara. For this reason he designed special scuba gear in the hopes of killing the aliens in their own environment.
Jade aka Chang Ziyang:
He is a Chinese metahuman with unbreakable green skin and superhuman strength. Not much is known about his past other than he was often used as Clive Marshall's personal bodyguard and hitman.
Baddies from outside the solar system:
The Mosqukatara
They are an insectoid race from a region of space near Aquarius, Dovianni, Leonid IV and Setleth. Their main objective is to enslave all races that are inferior to them. Ruled by a queen, the race has a hive-mind and for a long time, they succeeded in conquering several worlds. Most notably, the aquatic world of Aquarius. The planet was liberated and eventually was taken over again. That is until the Starbolts and their allies fought back the threat.
Eventually, the Mosqukatara returned with more humanoid features. This is in part due to their conquest of the planet Neutralon IV. For some reason the Neutralonian DNA merged with the Mosqukatara DNA and created a hybrid of sorts. It spread like an infection throughout the collective and eventually adult Mosqukatara became infected. The creatures became more intelligent and thus more dangerous.
Praetorians
Powers: Similar to the Centurions. (Flight, super-strength)
The Praetorians are the opposite side of the Centurions spectrum and wish to destroy all life. Completely devoted to destruction, they will subjugate anyone they feel is worthy enough to go along with their plan to spread fear throughout the galaxy. One such person was the Aquan known as Robkas D'vane, the former suitor of the Starbolt, Aquita, who has insatiable desire for the Princess.
Other alien baddies include:
A Setleth not interested in profit.
A Dovianni warlord named Halconis.
In addition to them, there are four avatars of the dark Gods of Aquarius running around. Unlike Aquita, M'anta and Shrall, these three represent the Aquan Gods of Death, Discord and War. They are:
Hala Sil, a woman who became the avatar for the Goddess of death.
Braxx Guvri, a man who became the embodiment of war.
Jarro Odan, a man personally selected by the God of the earth, Grunn, to be his avatar.
Jo'Trill Oran, the avatar of Discord.
