  • CoH Roster: Mute Aunt

    We don’t know if she has much to say, but we know that Mute Aunt is proving effective and useful as a contributing hero in Paragon City. Her mutant abilities are manifested as kinetic powers and radiation blasts, and she’s currently at Security Level 23.


    Here we see her metallic skin…


    …and here, her chitinous skin with insect-style cape.

  • CoH Roster: ProPaine

    ProPaine is a young man who enjoys lighting a fire under evildoers. This Controller is currently only at Security Level 8.


    Big and conspicuous, this costume reads “Danger” to even the most clueless of criminals.

  • CoH Roster: Ragnaroq

    Another somewhat mysterious personage is the man who calls himself Ragnaroq. The Q, apparently, is significant. He’s an elementalist magician who specializes in manipulating weather-like phenomenon; he also dabbles in dark magics for offensive use. Ragnaroq is at Security Level 20.


    He started out with a fairly simple, if ornately decorated, suit of clothes.


    The cape doesn’t change the fact that his overall look isn’t much different from before. Consistency isn’t a bad thing, of course.

  • CoH Roster: Spiny Echidna

    Little is known about this oddly-deformed martial artist with the quick reflexes. He’s merely at Security Level 11, and hasn’t been seen in Paragon City very often of late.


    At least we can guess where his name comes from.

  • CoH Roster: Woods Cutter

    One day, quite some time ago, a swordslinger trained in the deadliest oriental traditions arrived in our fair city, his body trained to a razor’s edge much like that of his weapon. Going by the name Woods Cutter, he immediately forged a reputation and came to the attention of gang bosses and fellow heroes alike.

    In particular, the electrifying StormVyxen caught his eye, and he hers. Their partnership endured and even resulted in a child who, indeed, followed her parents’ superheroic path. Tragedy struck this crimefighting family, however, when a freak accident deprived StormVyxen of life force and memory; in fact all that stood between her and complete oblivion was the intervention of a Kheldian, with whom she was reborn as StarVyxen.

    Woods Cutter, currently cleared for Security Level 31, fights on, even alongside a half-alien woman who has no working memory of her life with him. With sharpened steel, nearly paranormal recuperative ability and dogged determination, he fights the forces of darkness wherever they appear.


    Here we see his original garb, stylish yet straightforward in concept.


    By this point, fame (and romance) had perhaps gone to his head. Many of his fans still consider this to be “Woodsie’s” best look.


    After the tragedy involving StormVyxen, Woods is often seen in this more traditional robe and trouser set, bespeaking his newfound humility.

  • CoH Roster: Rossum’s Fist

    This hefty mass of superheroics comes to Paragon City from an unknown locale and bears an unusual moniker. There are rumors of a scientist by name of Rossum who is delving into the creation of artificial persons, or robota, to take on the menial tasks that would’ve been performed by slaves in an earlier, less enlightened century. Rossum’s Fist could, perhaps, be one of these creations… or he could be intended for some other purpose entirely. He seems content to use his massive fists to punch the living daylights out of villains wherever he finds them. This hero is very strong, and seemingly impervious to many basic kinds of damage one can take as a hero in our fair city.


    His apparel would seem to be a patchwork of fabrics crudely sewn together, with a large letter “R” emblazoned on his chest. Could this be a stamp of ownership, perhaps? Nobody really knows.

    Having achieved a Security Level of only 13, he does not yet have a second costume.
