Lady Power
Megan Joanna Glenleven
Original text from Aaron Alston's Strike Force by Aaron Allston (RIP) Some modifications by me.
Background/History: Formerly a petty crook, Lady Power encountered Overlord early in his career, when she was still simply Megan Joanna Glenleven, and he was just formalizing his plans for world domination. Swearing to be his faithful companion in return for power and money, Overlord took Megan back to his Lair, and gave her the power she wished for. His treatments made her superhumanly strong and nearly invulnerable; in turn, she bore him a son, Morgan.
Lady Power brought Morgan up to be her pawn in her constant machinations for power. She vied constantly with Prism for Overlord’s affections and attentions, and felt Morgan (a.k.a. Power Lord) would be the perfect vehicle to prove her superiority. To this end, she pressured Power Lord, who like his mother was greedy and twisted (and not the smartest of individuals to boot) to follow in his father’s footsteps and take up the mantle of supervillainy.
However, Power Lord was far from ready for such a step, and his first mission—an attack on Avengers headquarters—ended with him in prison. Then, to make matters even worse, Ichi-ban, a mystically powered member of the Avengers, managed to murder Power Lord in his cell.
The event pretty much unhinged Lady Power. When Overlord declined to pursue Ichi-ban (and the rest of the Avengers), Lady Power took it on herself to seek revenge. She left Overlord and managed to call upon the extra-dimensional being known as Scoff.
She offered herself as his servant, if only he gave her the power to find and destroy Ichi-ban.
It was at this point her personal madness and villainy tripped her up. Scoff had appeared in his normal form—complete with bat-like wings and horns—and had yet to identify himself by name, allowing Lady Power to believe that he was some devilish being out of Judeo-Christian beliefs. Thus, when he began to layout his terms for her service, he started to say, “And you shall serve me—” At this point, Lady Power interrupted, completing the sentence with: “I know. Throughout all eternity.”
Scoff then gave everything Lady Power had asked for, but blithely left her comment stand as part of her terms of service, instead of substituting his usual two-century length time period. While he doesn’t intend to keep Lady Power as a servant through eternity, he has no intention of releasing her from her oaths of service until he is satisfied that she is no longer a danger to herself or those Scoff cares about... whether that takes a mere fifty years, two centuries, six centuries, or longer.
Personality/Motivation: There are a number adjectives one could use to describe Lady Power, but the for the most part she’s bitter, greedy, and wicked. She
desires power, be it personal (in both physical prowess and the ability to control others) or material (in the form of wealth and luxuries). On top of that, she hates
Ichi-ban with a passion and almost certainly will never forgive him for the death of Power Lord. She also despises Luster, mainly because she is Prism’s daughter but also because of her involvement with the Avengers.
Interestingly, her time with Scoff has caused Lady Power to look back on her life. She has begun to question her contributions to Power Lord’s upbringing and how she drove him to be petty and evil. That said, she’s still plotting to bear a new son, presumably to bring him up “properly” this time. She’s thought about using Overlord as the father (perhaps via time travel), or traveling to Earth-Kaiser and seducing the Warlord.
Powers/Tactics: Initially, Lady Power possessed immense physical strength and a general immunity to most harm. Now that she’s been transformed by Scoff, she has a whole suite of “demonic” powers to call upon. She tends to use these to bedevil and harass magical heroes. She will shape-shift into an innocuous form, drain their magical powers away, then attack. As she’s extremely hard to hurt when all of her defenses are active, she won’t flee a fight all that quickly, unless heavily outnumbered or outmatched.
Appearance: Lady Power stands 5’10” and weighs a slender 140 pounds. Her hair is blonde and her eyes are brown. There are small demonic-looking horns on her brow. Her costume consists of dark red boots and bodystocking that leaves her face bare. She also wears gold gloves, gold leggings, and a gold sash at the waist. When she was with Overlord, the colors matched his power suit—green and gold
