Abilities: Raising the dead - can reanimate skeletons. Unknown if he possesses any other powers. Has demonstrated excellent combat skills with near-superhuman reflexes and strength. Seems to prefer clawed gloves with reinforced knuckles. Has used weapons like axes and hand guns sparingly.
Personality: Cheerful, dramatic, and somewhat childish. Gets along with most people, and has been spotted playing with children.
Notes: Appeared one and a half years ago, creating an uproar with the media over his "villainous" powers. Civilians were placated by his personality, although there are still doubtful individuals.

Lack of composure could be an act - surveillance strongly recommended.

Dr. Erica Stokes
Age: 37
Dr. Stokes' life has recently blown up in her face and she's none too pleased about it. An emergency room doctor heading home after a long shift, her commute on the L was interrupted by a group of masked Doomsday cultists who'd boarded her train with firearms and explosives. They were live-streaming an attack where they intended to destroy the downtown CTA interchange during the evening rush.
Not wanting to be exploded for their god, Erica, with a long suffering sigh, rose to her weary feet and began disarming the gunmen, conjuring blue-white energy out of thin air. In a flurry of energy bolts, barriers, and bonds, she was able to walk through the train, protecting her fellow passengers and rendering the cultists unconscious. It went fairly smoothly until she reached their leader, who activated her suicide vest. Unable to stop the bomb, Erica used a force field to contain the blast.
Most YouTube videos censor the cultist's red goo covering the inside of the bubble.
Oh yes, because the cultists were live streaming and civilians all had phones, there are dozens and dozens of videos of her work from different angles. Great.
It didn't take long for the press to swarm her, disrupting her quiet life. The media frenzy was so immediate, the hospital put her on a leave of absence, but given her revealed superpowers, they may not let her back for insurance purposes.
No good deed goes unpunished. A sad fact Erica learned long ago.
Seventeen years ago, to be specific.
Erica, in her twenties, was briefly active as Arclight, a 'supervillain anarchist', at least according to the police and press. A young idealist, she sought to fight the corruption that was destroying her community. She took aim at developers using nefarious tactics to run people out of their homes, only to become embroiled in a conspiracy that destroyed her reputation. Realizing her efforts were just causing more grief for her community and loved ones, she hung up her costume and focused on her medical schooling.
Arclight just disappeared one day never intending to return.

The KnightPhoenix showed up around five years ago, at least that was when the first encounter was recorded. Anyone that has lived to even see a glimpse of the KnightPhoenix haven't had much to say about what their encounter was like. All those that speak of such encounter talk about the sensations they felt and the peace in life they felt now. The only one thing that they all can agree upon is the deep purple eyes that almost seemed to look into their soul. But without seeing a face most description have been sort of a Helter Skelter type description, some says they had wings, others the body of a dragon, and still one going as far as to say they saw the face of a cat within the dark void within.
So there is little known about whom or what may behind the winged creature. Are they from earth? Are they foe or friend? Are they here to stay? Why does no one know who they are? Several agencies have tried to get pictures and capture the winged Menace as they call it for such answers. Not that the being has done anything wrong, but the government never has been keen on the unknown. Lately they have even started to offer a substantial award to any leads on where the KnightPhoenix might be, yet none that have seen it, or encounter the magical being have come forth with such information. For it seems that the KnightPhoenix has helped those that they have encounter out of dire situations, that they would not have been able to get out by themselves, and any information that could be offered had not been by anyone that has encounter the KnightPhoenix.
