Overlords-verse: Captain Atom, Captain Marvel and Zatara
This lot will probably appear soon-ish. Obviously Captain Atom was in Ch 3, but what you may not know is that Zataro was there too. Off camera. Because I suck at photography. And, to top it all off, I've run out of characters for Supermans side. Wonderful.
Captan Atom:
during the height of the Cold war, after being framed for the murder of her commanding officer, Cpt Natalia Averin, was offered a choice. As an alternative to the death sentence, she could 'volunteer' for an experiment to create Russias newest Superweapon. Reluctantly, she agreed, knowing that if she could stay alive just a little longer, she could get help to prove her innocence.
The experiment involved the testing of a type of alien metal and its durability against atomic weapons. The experiment was prepared and Natalia was placed inside the alien craft, with a nuclear bomb buried underneath. However, when the bomb exploded, instead of exploding, the ship, with Natalia inside, simply vanished. Naturally, the Russian scientists presumed that the craft had simply been incinerated by the bomb and that was that.
However, that was not the case. 18 years later, the ship, and Natalia reappeared. In the Nevada desert. Dazed and confused, Natalia stumbled out of the craft, shielding her eyes from the sun with her hands. That was when she noticed something was wrong. Her hands were a silver colour. She scrambled to the side of the ship, wiping the dirt off with her sleeve. She looked at her reflection in the ship. But what she saw was not her. But...it was. when the explosion had occurred, the metal of the ship was bonded to her, encasing her in a seemingly indestructible coating.
She screamed, horrified by what she had become. This wasn't supposed to have happened. She had a family in Russia, how could she return to them like this. As she was pondering what to do next, the area around her grew dark. She looked to the sky and there he was. Superman. The enemy. The capitalist menace. He asked her to state her name rank and intentions. Although Natalia spoke some English, it did not help much. She managed to tell him she was Captain Natalia Averin of the Russian Red army. She said no more.
Naturally, Superman was taken aback. A Russian? On American Soil? How had this happened, and why was this woman coated in metal? The sound of car engines broke his train of thought and brought him back into the real world. This woman was obviously scared, and the American military were on their way.
After hours of negotiating, Superman was allowed to take care of Natalia, and try to ascertain what had happened to her, with the help, of course, of his newly founded Justice league. He took her back to the leagues headquarters, the Tower of justice, and confined her to the living quarters. After a few months learning English, she was able to tell her story. From the members of the league, she learnt that she hadn't just travelled through space, she had travelled through time. To the year 1986 to be precise. A whole 18 years since the experiment, since her conviction. She knew she couldn't return to Russia, not like this. So, with no option left, she asked if she could stay in America, and help the league wherever she could. Superman agreed. after nearly a year learning how to use her powers, she was ready.
And so, for many years to come, she served the league. Until the millennium war. Once the war was over, the world was in ruins. This was when Superman started to gain more and more power, until he resembled something Natalia had seen before, growing up in Russia. Knowing she couldn't be a part of something like this, not again, she left the league, the same time as Batman and many other members. Alongside Batman and his league, she hopes to one day regain freedom for the world, and, perhaps, to see her family again.
Captain Marvel:
Serving in WW2, Captain Marvel was one of the original All-American superheroes. Serving alongside Superman and other heroes on the Justice society of America, he went on to have many adventures. However, whilst Captain marvel did not seem to age, Billy Batson did.
Over the years, he had seen many foes obsessed with finding the key to eternal life. He'd seen what it had done to them, and how they had turned out. So, with reluctance, in 1978, Billy Batson retired.
However, After doing nothing during the Millennium war, an ageing Billy batson could stand it no more. He had to make a decision: Do nothing and let innocents suffer under Supermans newly ordained government, or say the word, knowing that the next time he said it, he could die. He chose the second option, to say the word. SHAZAM!
Zataro:
After the Millennium war, Zataro had lost everything. His home, his family whcih, sadly, included his only daughter, Zatanna. Devastated, he resigned from the Justice league, to grieve for his lost family.
But, in secret, he was working on a spell to return them to him. Suffice to say, he fell into a deep depression when it did not work. After years of seclusion, he was approached by Batman, who had similar experience of loss. After many meetings, he was able to convince Zataro to find new meaning, to fight for his lost family, to help him create a world they could be proud of. And with that, Zataro joined Batmans league.
