Real Name:Rebecca Chambers
First Sighting: JUSTICE
#1
Occupation: Former agent, United States Department of Justice
Known Parabilities: None.
History: Rebecca Chambers first encountered Justice while working
on a case with FBI Agent Hoyt Pittman involving a New York club called
the Factory, which had criminal ties to the druglord Chango Villalobos
as well as to Daedalus Darquill. She arrested Justice after watching him
kill Jean-Paul, a double-agent who intended to deceive her, and Marty Roth,
proprietor of the club. Justice fell in love with her, in part due to the
fact that he says she radiated a "golden-pure aura.". She followed him
across the country, eventually believing in his mission. However, while
in Baja California, Rebecca was kidnapped by Darquill, who brought her
into his fantasies, teaching her to become his ally and Justice's foe.
She was killed by Justice after being sent to murder him.
Current Status: Deceased (as of JUSTICE

Real Name: Damon Conquest
First Sighting: JUSTICE
#1
Occupation: CEO, Conquest Dynamics
Known Parabilities: Projects green bolts of force from both hands;
the power with which these blasts are charged may or may not result from
his other ability, that of removing what Justice perceives as the "aura"
of a human being, thus transforming human beings into "hounds," doglike
creatures who serve only him.
History: Prior to the White Event, Damon Conquest ran his father,
Daedalus Darquill's corporation, Conquest Dynamics, a firm which was involved
in illegal narcotics operations. When the White Event struck, Damon was
given paranormal abilities (see above) and was enraptured in his father's
fantasies, believing himself to be a wizard from the alien Winterland.
As such, he had many confrontations with Justice, and it was eventually
by his hand which he perished, over a year after Darquill's illusions had
begun.

Real Name: Daedalus Darquill
First Sighting: JUSTICE
#1 (in shadow); JUSTICE
#5 (fully seen)
Occupation: Proprietor, Conquest Dynamics; Druglord
Known Parabilities: Was able to somehow manipulate reality in order
to make his fantasies come true; this power also granted him the ability
to enrapture others into this fantasy world.
History: Daedalus Darquill was involved in illegal narcotics smuggling
operations with his son, Damon Conquest, CEO of Conquest Dynamics. Thus,
they attracted the attention of the Narcotics Division of the Justice Department,
who sent agent John Tensen to infiltrate their operation. During this time
the White Event occurred, after which Darquill went into deep catatonia.
While comatose, he manifested nearly-limitless reality-manipulating powers
which he used to fashion an imaginary place within his mind which was referred
to as the Winterland, or Farside, which was populated by a feudal society
which he imagined himself, Conquest, Tensen, and many others being part
of. The dream lasted for several months, during which Conquest continued
to run his father's operations while under Darquill's complete control.
This scheme lasted until Tensen, together with Nightmask, unraveled the
fantasy. As his first act of free thought, Tensen promptly executed Darquill
with his sword hand.

Code Name: "Judge Mental"
Real Name: Unrevealed
First Sighting: JUSTICE
#25 (in shadow); JUSTICE
#31 (fully seen)
Occupation: Leader of the Forsaken
Known Parabilities: Judge Mental was, by his own account, the most
powerful projecting telepath on Earth. He could broadcast thoughts, receive
castings, suppress a paranormal's ability to use his or her powers, and
induce fear in other people. He could not, however, discern unprojected
thoughts.
History: Little is known about Judge Mental before he arose as the
leader of the group of freakish paranormals who called themselves the Forsaken.
What is known is that at his order, the paranormal assassin known as Quill
targeted Justice for execution. After learning of Quill's failure and subsequent
demise, Judge Mental convinced Seraph, Justice's arch-enemy, to kill him.
The Judge kidnapped three of Justice's friends, holding them at the sanctuary
for the Forsaken at Coney Island until finally they were freed by Justice
and his daughter Angela. The battle between Justice and Judge Mental ended
in the Judge's alleged death from a gunshot to the chest. After freeing
his friends, Justice noticed that Judge Mental's body was gone from where
it had fallen. It is unknown whether the Judge could actually have survived
the encounter.
Current Status: Deceased (?) (see JUSTICE

Code Name: "Kleenex"
Real Name: Victor Pasko
First Sighting: JUSTICE
#21
Occupation: Agent, National Security Council
Known Parabilities: Possessed extraordinary olfactory sense which
made him able to detect the presence of paranormal beings as though he
were responding to allergens, as a result sneezing whenever near a paranormal.
History: Victor Pasko was an associate of Terrance Updike, head
of the National Security Council. It was in this capacity that he met John
Tensen, AKA Justice, and later, his daughter, Angela. Over time he and
Angela developed romantic relations. It was his "paranormal detection"
power which enabled him to know that Tensen's daughter was a paranormal
before her abilities manifested themselves. When last seen, he and Angela
decided to stay with Tensen in the Coney Island section of New York City.
Since then, they married. Recently it has been revealed that he passed
away, although the cause has to date been unrevealed.
Current Status: Deceased

Code Name: "Nightmask"
Real Name: Keith Remsen
First Sighting: NIGHTMASK
#1
Occupation: Sleep therapist, adventurer
Known Parabilities: Can enter the dreams of other human beings,
interacting with their subconscious mind; has psychic link with sister
Theodora "Teddy" which in the past has enabled her to pull him out of another's
dream; subsequently Nightmask has developed certain minor reality-altering
powers including the projecting of illusions in the waking world. The precise
limit of Keith's powers has yet to be revealed.
History: Keith Remsen was in Dulles International Airport in Washington
D.C. with his sister and parents when a terrorist's bomb detonated, killing
both his parents and crippling his sister Teddy while also placing him
into a deep coma. He awoke as a direct result of the White Event occurring
outside his hospital room. Eventually he learned of his paranormal ability
to enter dreams, and figured he could contribute the most good to society
by working in his parents' friend Dr. Lucian Ballad's Clinic For Dream
Research in Washington. He and his sister helped each other on the dream
plane until Keith believed he had mastered his parability enough so that
he did not require Teddy as his psychic anchor. Months later, as
a result of the Black Event in Pittsburgh, Keith's sister fell into a deep
coma, and the combination of his sister's condition and the adverse affect
the Black Event had on all paranormals made the Nightmask persona separate
further from that which was Keith, becoming irrational and at times psychotic.
After being reunited with his sister, helping her out of her coma, Keith
once again was able to control the Nightmask persona, or so it appeared.
Later, in World War III, the government drafted Keith for use of his dream-entering
abilities. He served as a Lieutenant, entering the dreams of paranormals
to judge them fit for combat. However, after misjudging the competency
of Harlan Mook, a powerful paranormal who eventually went renegade, Keith
began a quest which ended in Mook's death at his hands, after which Keith
withdrew from reality completely. After being comatose for months,
Keith finally reawakened in time to assist in his world's fight against
the Starblasters. No one knows what has become of Nightmask since.
Current Status: Active (although it appears the darker side of Nightmask's
nature has seized control once again)

Real Name: Miriam Morse
First Sighting: JUSTICE
#16
Occupation: Psychic Investigator, Employee of National Security
Council
Known Parabilities: Can send her psychic self backwards in time
to see significant events which have occurred in the past; this ability
is activated by being in contact with objects at or near the scene of these
events.
History: Miriam Morse was a low-level psychic prior to the White
Event, which enhanced her powers greatly. She has used her talents as a
psychic investigator in the city of Chicago, and it was there where she
met Justice, who was able to "see" her in the past while she was in the
present using her powers (via his "aura-reading" ability). Since then she
joined the National Security Council and worked with Justice on many occasions.
Current Status: Inactive (possibly deceased)

Real Name: Unrevealed
First Sighting: JUSTICE
#20
Occupation: Criminal, partner of Judge Mental
Known Parabilities: Possessed the ability to absorb energy into
his body and redirect it as his own attack, using a scythe as his "focus"
through which he channeled the energy.
History: Little is known about Seraph before he made an appearance
at Pitt-Aid, a concert designed to be a fundraiser for survivors of the
Black Event in Pittsburgh. Sensing Justice as his "opposite," and thus,
his enemy, he attacked him and was ultimately defeated. Humiliated, Seraph
went into seclusion for several months, until coming into the employ of
Judge Mental, leader of the forsaken. Seraph was killed in battle with
Justice when he fell from the top of the Wonder Wheel ride at Coney Island
Amusement Park.

Real Name: Angela Tensen
First Sighting: JUSTICE
#16
Occupation: College student, former bookstore clerk
Known Parabilities: Possessed the ability to reanimate dead matter,
e.g. corpses, for an undetermined amount of time; also possessed the ability
to cease reanimatory functions with concentration.
History: Angela Tensen was born one year after the young John and
Irene Tensen married. She had a healthy childhood until she was six, when
her mother was killed in a carbomb explosion meant for her father. After
seeing her father distance himself from her, devoting himself to his work,
she devoted herself to her education, graduating from high school with
honors and enrolling at a university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She
was unaware of her paranormal ability for many months, during which she
was reacquainted with her father after his long absence. The two became
close again, and it was during this time when she met Victor "Kleenex"
Pasko, an acquaintance of her father's from the NSC. Angela and her father
were split apart when she was kidnapped by the assassin Quill in order
to lure Justice into the open. In order to escape the assassin, she finally
used her paranormal abilities in a cemetery to reanimate corpses which
then killed her tormentor. This event caused Angela to lapse into catatonia
briefly, during which period Justice embarked on a "religious crusade"
to find the people responsible for putting Victor in the hospital. When
she awakened, she learned that her college had shut down (due to the ash
kicked up by the Black Event). Convinced she had nothing else to do, she
joined her father and Victor as protectors of Coney Island after defeating
Judge Mental and Seraph.

John told her to take his, not knowing that one of the criminals whom he

Real Name: Terrance Updike
First Sighting: JUSTICE
#19
Occupation: Director, National Security Council
Known Parabilities: None.
History: Terrance Updike recruited paranormal beings as special
agents in the National Security Council. He first hired Victor Pasko, AKA
"Kleenex" as a paranormal detector. Shortly thereafter, while monitoring
a Philadelphia gang led by a man calling himself the Savior, he learned
the whereabouts of John Tensen, AKA "Justice," a former Justice Department
employee who had become paranormal. After a short time, Updike and his
assistant, Mr. Chauncy, succeeded in hiring not only Tensen but also Miriam

Code Name: "The Witness"
Real Name: Nelson Kohler
First Sighting: D.P.7 ANNUAL #1
Occupation: Former computer software salesman, now observer
Known Parabilities: As a result of the White Event, the Witness'
consciousness was transformed into a wraithlike figure which was unable
to interact with ordinary people, being both invisible and intangible.
Apparently his superpowers also include the psychic ability to "home in"
on the development of paranormal abilities in others (e.g. when a person's
paranormal abilities are triggered, the Witness feels himself drawn to
that location to "witness" the event).
History: Nelson Kohler was a beloved husband and father who was
on his way home from his job on the day the White Event occurred. The blinding
flash caused Kohler to lose control of his automobile, which went over
a guardrail and crashed, bursting into flame. He was rushed to the emergency
room of the nearby Wisconsin hospital, during which time his wife and daughter
were informed of the accident and came to the hospital in time to see Kohler's
comatose body brought inside. Doctors tried for hours to repair the damage
done without success, and subsequently pulled the plug on the heart-lung
unit, ending his life. However, Kohler did not die; although his physical
form lay without activity, his mental processes lived on in the form of
a ghostlike apparition which immediately rose from the operating table
upon death. Kohler soon discovered that in his new form, he could neither
be seen or heard, nor could he touch or smell anything. In every way he
was a true ghost. Since then, Kohler discovered his paranormal talent to
be pulled toward sites of the awakening of paranormal abilities within
human beings, in effect witnessing the origins of nearly every paranormal
on Earth. Thus Kohler assumed a new alias as the Witness, traveling the
world wherever paranormal activity was high. In later times he was witness
to the destruction of the city of Pittsburgh by Kenneth Connell, ex-possessor
of the Star Brand, as well as attempts by Connell's successor to the power,
Jacob Burnley's attempts to resurrect the city and all its former occupants.
Since then, his whereabouts have not been recorded, but it is assumed that
he is still alive, for in his present form he is practically unkillable
by earthly means.
