The Lords of Misrule

The Lords of Misrule have always been a thorn in the side of The Southern Star, opposing everything the heroes stand for. There have been nine different versions of the team, with the original formed during World War II by the Black Baron. The current incarnation was brought together by the Shout.
THE SHOUT The Shout claims he learned his powers from an Aboriginal clever man (similar to a shaman), whom he killed once he got what he wanted. Nobody knows if these claims are true, but the Shout is best described as an evil man, one who seeks to cause chaos and disorder wherever he goes. All of his powers are magical in nature, drawing on the mystical energy of The Dreamtime channeled through his voice. Unfortunately, this power brings a curse as well, as the Shout is no longer able to talk without his power activating unpredictably. The Shout wears no costume. His clothes are those of a bedraggled homeless man. He has long unkempt hair, a shaggy beard, and dirt-encrusted skin.
BATTLEAXE Olympia Imoni was always a big girl, teased and bullied mercilessly at school for her size. The final straw came when she was physically abused by a group of teenage boys who led her to believe they liked her. In desperation, she cried out to the gods of her forebears for assistance, and Hera, the ancient Greek goddess of women, answered her plea. Olympia was gifted with the heritage of the Amazons of myth: great strength, an imposing physique, great beauty, and astounding combat skills. In addition, she was presented with the magical axe “Trogon Andres,” created by the blacksmith god Hephaestus. Battle Axe is an imposing woman. She is powerfully built with short brown hair and deep blue eyes. She harbors an abhorrence for men, especially those who oppress or abuse women, but she is generally ruthless and hateful.
BLACK BUSHRANGER The Black Bushranger’s background is a mystery. What is known about him is that he stole an experimental robot horse from ASTRO Labs and uses an electrically charged whip and a pair of revolvers that shoot energy blasts. His crimes mainly involve robbery, often on a grand scale, and while he styles himself a “gentleman bushranger,” he is in fact a heartless criminal.
The Black Bushranger wears a Zorro-style mask, akubra hat, kerchief, shirt, trousers, riding boots, fingerless gloves, and stockman’s coat, all in black. His robot horse is chromed with glowing red eyes and rocket pods jutting from its sides.
DOCTOR GORGON A brilliant chemist working at FNU, Doctor Gorgon believed that the formulas used by Renaissance alchemists may have had some merit. When he brought his theories to the attention of his peers at a conference, he was laughed out of the building. Vowing to exact his revenge, he performed his own experiments and discovered that with the application of certain rays he was able to instantly calcify organic matter. Creating a gun he called his Medusa Ray, Doctor Gorgon first used it on the very people who laughed at him. They aren’t laughing at him now. Nobody laughs at Doctor Gorgon now.
Doctor Gorgon is a small man with a bald head and watery blue eyes. Thin and wiry, he wears thick goggles, a 1920s style lab coat, and long black rubber gloves and boots. The Medusa Ray looks like a 1960s ray gun.
DROP BEAR Originally a normal koala, Drop Bear was caught in a road accident involving a truck carrying toxic waste. Bathed in burning mutagenic chemicals, the marsupial was transformed into an intelligent towering psychopath. His hatred for humanity knows almost no bounds, and if not for the powers of the Shout, there would be no controlling him.
Standing 7’5” tall and weighing 955 lbs., Drop Bear is a true monster. He uses his large claws with glee and is always the first into combat.
SHE-QUOLL Named for the quoll, a carnivorous marsupial found in Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania, She-Quoll is a cat burglar who carries on the thieving legacy of her father and grandfather. She is primarily motivated by greed, though she also wishes to uphold the family name as a reliable criminal for hire. Like her forebears, she has trained from a young age in martial arts and acrobatics so that she can be the best cat burglar in the city. She sees being a member of the Lords of Misrule as a way of enhancing her reputation even further.
She-Quoll hides her identity behind a brown domino mask that sports short quoll-like ears. Brown gloves sport climbing claws that double as weapons, and a medium length cybernetic tail aids her balance and acrobatics.
