the LAST PROTECTORS

the steadfast remains of the world's superhero community!


St. North
A millionaire thrill seeker, Simon North of Denver, Colorado, turned his life around after almost dying in the mountains of Nepal. If it was not for a silver amulet he found in the snow cave he fell into he believes he would have perished. Once Simon placed the silver amulet around his neck it fused to his skin permanently, granting him super strength, endurance, invulnerability against all forms of cold, and the ability to fly. He also has the ability to generate cold and snow in all forms with his hands, and blow up to blizzard-force winds with his breath. Believing that it was only divine intervention that saved him Simon now devotes his life to helping others and spreading his belief in miracles, as well as leading the Last Protectors.

Nykee
Natalie Enson of Glasgow, Scotland was a young woman working as a museum restorer, when she opened a recent acquisition of an anonymously-donated small Grecian urn.

She decided to use her powers as a protector of Earth, and is a brave warrior.

Ressig
He is a mutant among his own race of underwater dwellers, who live in an ancient city deep beneath the Pacific Ocean! Acting as his peoples’ protector he decided to come to the surface world to learn about its customs and society. It wasn't long before he met and befriended the existing superhero community, and now splits his time between the sea and land, reasoning that protecting both will help all. He is an amphibious humanoid that can breathe and survive on land and underwater. He has the natural enhanced strength and density of his people that allows him to survive the pressures and depths of the oceans. He can swim at super speeds and see in the ocean’s darkest depths. He also has a chameleon-like ability that allows him to change the colors of his body to blend into any background.

Best Man
Once a famous rock star who lived a hard, fast life, Roberto Diaz of Beverly Hills, California, suffered an overdose and was technically dead for a few moments. Luckily, the doctors managed to bring him back to life, but Roberto was a changed man! Feeling that he was touched by the hand of fate and given a second chance, he sought out and studied with a swami in India for a number of years. The swami treated Roberto like a son, as he taught him the ways of enlightenment and spiritual growth. When the swami suddenly died Roberto relapsed into his old ways and spent the night drinking, and falling into a deep depression. In a haze the spirit of the swami appeared and promised to help Roberto become the best he could be. The swami’s spirit then entered the young man’s body and caused him to black-out. In the morning it was clear to Roberto that he was different; better. He felt the presence of the swami inside him and realized he had been granted new abilities which could be used to protect humankind: telepathy (including the power of suggestion), telekinesis, precognition, teleportation, and the ability to see and communicate with the dead.

Immediately her body began to transform as the alien life forms fused with her on a genetic level! Her body changed into a crystalline humanoid form with its own special abilities; she has incredible strength and invulnerability. Her body shines and reflects like a mirror, allowing her to refract light, and to reflect any force put upon her. She no longer has human senses due to the lack of facial features. She communicates by vibrating her body to a pitch that creates a 'voice', and her reflective body allows her to “see” in any direction.
