Name:  Dark Guardian

Base of Operations: New York, New York

Mission: "Fighting crime, helping others, and making a difference in his community. He is a man who has grown tired of the world around him where evil tends to prevail and he sees the growing tides of time worsening."

Special Abilities:  He has trained himself to be more than human. He has made himself into a weapon. A weapon of change - A weapon of hope.

Quote: "I've always had something inside of me that made me want to really make a difference and just make the world a better place."

Name:  Geist

Base of Operations: Rochester, Minnesota

Mission: "My personal cause is the Forgotton, those overlooked by mainstream society. If there is a crisis situation, I have training and equipment to aid myself and others. My equipment and methods are completely legal. I'm prepared to make Citizen's Arrests if necessary."

Equipment: Smoke grenades, pepper spray, a slingshot, a pair of six-inch fighting sticks tucked into sturdy leather boots, and an Argentinean cattle-snare called "bolos" (his "trademark weapon").

Quote: "When you put on this costume and you do something for someone, it's like, 'Wow, I am being a hero,' and that is a great feeling."

Name: Polarman 

Base of Operations: Iqaluit, Canada

Mission: Shovels elders' steps and walkways, entertains children and prowls the night streets keeping an eye out for vandals and straightening out swings at playgrounds.

Equipment: A costume consisting of black boots, white sweat pants with black shorts and a white karate belt (for visibility), three layers on top plus black leather gloves and, of course, a mask.  Oh, and a shovel, too.

Quote: "I wrote down all cold-based names I could think of: Mr Freeze, Icelad, Snowlad, Shoveler, Polar Bully, Captain Cold, Captain Icicle, Frosty the Boy Wonder. Then I decided that since I came down from the polar region, I would use the name my cousin teased me with."

Name: Master Legend

Base of Operations: Winter Park, Florida

Mission: He is here to help you and will put his life on the line to do so.

Abilities: Certain psychic abilities and gifted with powers by a voodoo queen.  

Quote: "Remember that I am a real friend in the world."

Comments

[Kyle]

Dark Guardian: it just seems wrong for anyone named "Dark" anything to be showing such pasty white skin. Perhaps the White Avenger would be more appropriate?

Master Legend: apparently those psychic abilities and voodoo gifts don't include the power to say "No" to donuts or to wash his hair on a regular basis...
