Rogueverse Defiance

A team with various skills created by Adeline Kane to find her husband, Will Magnus, and bring him back.

 

Huge thanks goes out to Ken once again for helping me out with the roster, and some story elements. From Left to Right we have: Vigilante, Vixen, Godspeed, Zod, The Answer, and Platinum

 

Alias: Vigilante

Real Name: Dorian Chase

Gender: Male

Backstory: After his brother, Adrian Chase, was accidentally killed during a robbery, Dorian dedicated himself to finding the men who did it. Becoming Vigilante, he would dispense his own brand of justice. He would occasionally work together with other heroes, including Vixen. Adeline Kane comes to him, offering to help him find those involved in the heist, and in return, he'd join Project Defiance, a team created to find Adeline's husband, Will Magnus.

 

Alias: Vixen

Real Name: Mari McCabe

Gender: Female

Backstory: The artifact, known as the Tantu Totem, was passed down throughout the ages, with its current user being Mari McCabe. Growing up in Zambesi, life was hard at times. She, along with her sister, Kuasa, would often hear the legend of the "Tantu Totem", and all the power it holds. Kuasa yearned for that power, while Mari just wanted to make things better for her family. Unfortunately, they would lose their parents during a raid on their village by local bandits, that were looking for the Tantu Totem. Minutes before his death, her father would give her the Tantu Totem. With it, Mari fled to America. She would ultimately become a model, which led to her becoming incredibly wealthy. With this wealth, and the Tantu Totem, she became the superhero known as Vixen. Her sister, Kuasa, would never forgive her for leaving her alone however, and would seek vengeance for the years to come. She worked with Dorian Chase a couple of times, and developed a close friendship with him, bonding over the family they've lost. This later leads to her being offered to join Project Defiance, to which, she accepts, as it's another way to do good in the world.

 

Alias: Godspeed

Real Name: Jorge Heart

Gender: Male

Backstory: Officer of the CCPD, Jorge Heart was the brother of August Heart, a detective at CCPD that worked closely with one Barry Allen. Unfortunately, Jorge was killed in the line of duty. That is, until the night that lightning struck. By some miracle, it would reanimate Jorge Heart. Constantly vibrating, Jorge would use his newfound speed to go after the ones who killed him, as Godspeed. This led him to Billy Parks. Before he could say anything however, Billy died right infront of Jorge, by the ones who were truly behind it, the organization Black Hole. Adeline Kane comes to him, as there's a possibility that Black Hole is the one that took Will Magnus. He still had somewhat of a morality, so he accepted her offer.

 

 

Alias: General Zod

Name: Dru-Zod

Gender: Male

Backstory: The sole survivor of the planet Krypton, after the epidemic only known as the "Green Death" killed everyone else, including his wife Faora, and his son, Lor-Zod. Since arriving on Earth, he's developed a friendly rivalry with Lar-Grand aka Superman. He respects that Lar stole the House of El crest, as he never got along with that family, especially Jor-El. On the other hand, the symbol is also a constant reminder of what, and who he's lost. He joins Project Defiance as a way to redeem himself, as he wasn't able to protect his own family from the "Green Death"

 

Alias: The Answer

Name: Michael Patten

Gender: Male

Backstory: A man, that always seems to have the answers, except for how a world ending apocalypse was coming. He searched for years, trying to figure it out, as his wife and child were killed in a massive earthquake a few years back. He would end up lending out his services to various Gotham villains, hoping someone would believe him. But no one ever did. He was only taken as a joke, even though his hacking expertise is almost unmatched. That is until the Batman, with assistance from Tim Drake, found out where he was hiding, and took him down. In Arkham, he stayed obsessed with the possibility of the oncoming apocalypse. But the years went by, and nothing happened. Adeline Kane comes to him, with a way out of Arkham, provided he helps her. Michael says that's not enough however, so eventually Adeline promises she won't take him, and his apocalypse theory, as a joke, and to help him figure out how this world ending event comes about.

 

Alias/Name: Platinum

Creator: Will Magnus

Gender: Doesn't technically have a gender, like all the metal men, but visually resembles a female.

Backstory: Created by Will Magnus along with the rest of the Metal Men, and has fought alongside them for many years. With the recent disappearance of its creator, Platinum asks Adeline to join the Project Defiance team. Adeline's initially worried about adding Platinum to the team, but eventually, she agrees.
