Founding
Jean-Claude Gironde, Doctor of Psychiatry, heir of Phoenix Industries and several pieces of private real estate, takes his career in a new direction. In the process, he secretly creates a supergroup called "Wyldfire" which employs interesting metahumans whom he has met in various other circumstances.
Original roster:
Vigilante (Paul McKinney), this campaign's closest equivalent to The Punisher mixed with Crabby Edition Scott Summers; met through Three Letter Agency activity
Diamond X (Claire Clasby), this campaign's closest equivalent to Domino mixed with Black Widow; met through Three Letter Agency activity
Beast (Henry "Hank" McCoy), straight from the Marvel Comics of the 90s; met through Phoenix Research Conglomerate, a subdivision of Phoenix Industries
Skyburner (Alan Jenkins), professional test pilot and part-time hero
Early additional roster, within a year or two:
Iradium (Sean Michael Freeborn), straight from CoH, met through psychiatric services on contract to U.S. Department of Defense plus various Three Letter Agencies
Moleculon (Jerry Clasby), brought directly to Dr. Gironde for education by older sister Diamond X and possibly where Jean-Claude got the idea that he really can run his own off-campus branch of some university or other
Shadowstar (Tina Grewal), picked up because she hacked the Phoenix Industries security to try to save her father
Firestar (Angelica Jones), additional student following in the path Jerry Clasby created
