PYRA
Ember Crawford was born into a poor family in Glasgow, Scotland. Her father worked in Steel Mill as a smelter while her mother worked in a brewery. After her great-grandfather died, her family inherited the decaying Crawford Clan castle in the Scottish Highlands. While living in the castle, Ember spent a lot of her time in the castle's humongous library, reading books about knights battling the incarnations of evil. She loved every single story, and would often play knights and dragons with the family dog. When she turned 12, her father told her about their family history. Their ancestors used to be Templar knights back during the Crusades, and they used to be very rich up until the 1980s. Inspired to uphold her family legacy, Ember dedicated herself to learning the ways of the knight. She excelled in school, scoring at the top of her class in literature and sports. She took up sword-fighting in her spare time and soon became one of the best in the country. After she graduated from college, she moved to America to rebuild her family's fortune by working as the curator of the Natural History Museum in Washington, DC. A decade later, Ember had built up quite a successful life in America and was very close to achieving her goal of rebuilding her family fortune. She also worked as a part-time sword-fighting instructor. One day, Jackson Carlyle (a.k.a) Bonfire would make a decision that would change the lives of so many people. Seeing that the supervillain population has exceeded that of the heroes, Bonfire made a risky decision to sell the Super Power serum at a consumer level. Whoever wants to be a hero will be allowed to purchase it and will receive training from the Carlyle Corporation to master their powers as well as defending themselves. Seeing the ultimate way to fulfill her dream, Ember decided to sign up for the super program and was given the superpower serum. Her powers were the ability to control and manifest fire. Wanting to be a sword fighter as well as a flame thrower, she signed on for lessons from Ryuko and Bonfire to become the hero she always wanted to be. A few months later, Ember made her superhero debut to the world as Pyra, the flaming knight of honor.

Villains: Hazmax & Toxzita (Neil & Rita Stark)
One of the world’s leading experts on chemical experimentation, Professor Neil Stark used to work for the Carlyle Corporation as one of the leading scientists who developed the serum that gives people superpowers. His next project was very ambitious, as he and his wife/lab assistant were trying to develop a serum that could immunize humanity to all diseases. During his experiments, he began to run short of funds, and decided to outsource money from local gangsters, and in return they would be the first to get the serum, as their leader was dying from a terminal illness. His research began to take longer than expected, and the gangsters decided to come to the lab and “motivate” him to work faster, by threatening to maim his wife. In the scuffle, Neil stole one of the goons’ guns, and attempted to protect his wife, but the gangsters retaliated by pouring a beaker full of his serum down his throat before it had been finished. Because of this, Neil experienced the worst pain of his life, as he was violently mutated by his own creation. His skin turned apple green, his hair began to give off a green mist, and his blood turned toxic and acidic, as demonstrated when he threw up on the ground during his transformation and melted a hole in the floor. In order to survive, he crawled inside one of his containment pods. The chemicals also negatively affected his mind, causing him to fall into hallucinations for a few days. While his wife was attempting to reverse engineer a cure, Neil would sit in his containment pod, stewing over what happened to him and how to get revenge. Once his wife had engineered a containment suit for him, he broke out of the lab and went on a killing spree, slaughtering anyone who was in the gang that ruined his life. After he was arrested, his wife injected herself with a perfected version of the serum and broke him out of his prison transport. The two thus become the newest criminal couple in Harking City, Hazmax & Toxzita.
Villains: The Wonderland Gang
White Rabbit: Wendy Philips was born into a rich family that profited by gentrifying rundown neighborhoods. Despite living a well-to-do life, she was sickened by the family business, as they ran poor people out of their homes in order for rich people to move in. Not wanting to live off the suffering of the poor, she ran away from her home and moved into the Industrial District. She then tried to help the homeless children by offering them a home in an abandoned steel mill that she converted into her home. However, despite all that she did to help these people, nothing was ever enough. Seeing that the entire system was the problem, Wendy decided to dedicate her life to rebelling against it. At first, she just spent her time committing acts of petty vandalism, but she was able to step up her game thanks to the Hobgoblin. During his gas attack, she and her best friends were mutated by the gas, causing them to develop superpowers. Wendy gained the ability of super speed, allowing her to run as fast as Black Streak II. Using these powers to step up her game, Wendy (now calling herself "White Rabbit '') led her team of friends in order to truly do some damage against the system. Now their objective is to tear down "The System'', and turn Harking City into an anarchic utopia where class is nonexistent and money no longer matters. Despite her rather cut-throat agenda, White rabbit still has a massive amount of compassion, and never tries to hurt innocent people. She's not above killing, but she'll only kill if it's a last resort. After she and the gang cross paths with Cheshire Cat, she saw how similar the two of them are, and tried everything to convince her to join her side.
Dormouse: Molly Madsen was the daughter of extremely young parents. Despite her being very well-meaning, she also suffered aichmomania (obsession with Knives). This caused her to unintentionally scare away any potential friends. After her parents were arrested for vehicular manslaughter whilst drunk driving, she was forced to live with her cruel aunt, who relentlessly punished her for being "Abnormal". At the age of 11, she finally ran away from her house. While trying to shoplift a 10-pack of knives from a hunting store, she was chased down and viciously beaten by a group of asshole cops. Fortunately, she was saved by Wendy Philips, who then offered her a home at her makeshift children's home. Despite being only a few years older than her, Wendy was more of a mother figure to Molly than anyone else she'd known. During Hobgoblin's gas attack, Molly was one of the people who was mutated. She developed the ability to grow and shrink like Ant-Man. She now works as the Dormouse of the Wonderland Gang and is one of the most helpful and useful members of the team.
Tweedle Dee: Daniel Dumfrey was born into a broken home. His father was an abusive drunk who also worked as a machinist. Since he couldn't afford to have his son go to school, he'd often take his son with him to the garage. During his time there, Daniel picked up some skills of the trade and even learned how to construct several small devices. Daniel is also quite mischievous and was known for pulling pranks around the shop. Unfortunately, his father couldn't sanction his buffoonery, and would often take his anger out on his son for messing around. After his father was killed in a car accident, Daniel was forced to live on his own. He ended up living on the streets, using his cunning and trickery to help him survive. After tricking the wrong people, Daniel was nearly beaten to death by a gang of bullies. Fortunately, he was saved by Wendy Phillips, who beat up the bullies and scared them away. She then offered Daniel a place at her home, which he gladly accepted. After getting mutated during Hobgoblin's gas attack, he developed the ability to duplicate himself. Now working as Tweedle Dee of the Wonderland Gang, he's a loyal and useful member of the team.
March Hare: Elliot Summers was dealt a bad hand since the day he was conceived. While still a fetus, his mother became a cocaine addict. Because of this, he was born addicted to coke as well. Living the majority of his childhood in a rundown apartment in the industrial district, his mind never was nurtured in the proper environment. At the age of 13, he accidentally burned down the apartment while playing with some matches. His mother and several other people were killed in the fire, and the entire building was destroyed. Now without a home, Elliot was moved into a foster home that was run by a cruel Mother Superior. She'd always punish who she deemed bad kids, and Elliot was among the unlucky few. After running away from the orphanage at the age of 15, he was forced to survive on the streets of Old Town, which were rife with gang violence. One cold Christmas night, he was discovered by Wendy Philips, who offered him a home in her makeshift children's home. Seeing no other options, he graciously accepted. While living with Wendy and her orphaned children, Wendy showed special care for Elliot, as she knew that he was a person who needed as much care as possible. During Hobgoblin's gas attack, Elliot was among those who were mutated. He would end up developing low-level psychic powers, allowing him to drive people temporarily insane. Unfortunately, these powers mixed with his already fragile mental state drove Elliot over the edge of madness, and he wound up developing Paranoid Schizophrenia.
The Joker (MK1)
This is the full version of my Joker design I made MK1 a few months ago. It was inspired by Regime Joker (Injustice: Gods Among Us), Heath Ledger (Dark Knight), Jack Napier (Batman TAS), and Pennywise (IT 2017). How does it look?
