VENTRUE

The Businessmen

ARCHANGEL = Good

Warren Worthington the Third, AKA Archangel, AKA Angel, is a multi-millionaire who happens to be a mutant possessing wings and the power of flight. Although his original wings were destroyed and replaced with semi-sentient metal versions by the villan Apocalypse, Warren endured, through a very bitter part of his life, eventually escaping the evil thrall of the madman, and even regaining his original feathered wings after many years. Although he must use a holographic image-inducer to pass as "normal," Warren still participates in the mundane world, and his vast fortune has served the X-Men well throughout the years, just as well as his teamwork and prowess in battle.

MICHAEL JONATHON KINSINGTON, SECOND LORD SUMMERSBY - 9/24/98 - First of all, you still need a new name. :) I really respect you, sometimes, but then you go throwing your mental powers around like there's no tomorrow. And you always tell me to shut up and stop making jokes. You're a great guy, and all, but you really need to remove that plug from your butt, that way all that pressure inside won't give you a grimacy face all the time. Chill. Oh, and I've got to talk to you about a little issue. Later.

THE WHITE QUEEN - Undecided

Real name Emma Frost, the White Queen is a telepath with the ability to manipulate others' minds as well as possess their bodies. Apart from her telepathic strength, she also holds a rather large fortune and is a sometimes-member of the evil Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club. She has several times attempted to raise a new generation of young mutants under her tutelage, and although her first group, the Hellions, were all brutally murdered, she now serves the side of good by co-teaching Generation X with Sean "Banshee" Cassidy. Nobody is certain how long this turn-for-the-better is going to last, and if she ever returns to the ranks of evil, the scale will indeed tip a little bit...

SIMON MURDOCH -

9/8/98 -

Well, will wonders never cease? Somebody with a stick farther up their ass than Kinsington. It's a wonder that when you open your mouth, leaves don't poke out from between your teeth. Listen, just because you were negelected by your parents as a child and have to make up for it by trying to spoil everybody's else's fun DOESN'T mean you're the only one who's right, all the time. Shit.

MICHAEL QUINTUS BRANAUGH - 7/2/98 - Surprise. Another stuffy Ventrue with a penchant for sticking his nose into business, then pulling it out just before it gets cut off. Oh, wait, that has some sort of sick sexual connotation, doesn't it? I've got to stop feeding off of only crack dealers...OoPs...sorry, didn't mean to make a "selective feeding" crack on the Ventrue page...or did I? Get it? Crack? Bwah-ha-ha!!!

THE KINGPIN= Bad

The man known as The Kingpin of Crime -- real name Wilson Fisk -- has been the bane of Spider-Man and Daredevil for countless years, using his ill-gotten fortune to make their lives, and the lives of many other heroes living hell. Although one would first mistake his enormous bulk for fat, it becomes quickly apparent in a fight that a majority of it is indeed muscle, which he is just as willing to use as his money and his brains to achieve his goals. Having lost and regained his fortune more than once, he will always and forever be a thorn in the side of good, whilst masquerading as yet another power-hungry rich man.
