L to R: Vortex, Stallion, Fairytale, Paradox, Aeolus, Beam, Battalion
Vortex was born as the son of a demon lord. As a young child, he lacked the supernatural strength of his brethren, and was ridiculed for it. Eventually, he learned that his father planned to break the truce between the demonic and mortal worlds. He fled, hoping to alert the humans before disaster struck.
In the human world, he learned that instead of the strength normal for his kind, he had the ability to create portals to anywhere in either the demonic or mortal worlds. He used this to help gather the heroes who would become the Excelsiors to fight his father's invasion force.
Stallion is a martial artist who has trained since his childhood. He has slightly above-average strength, and has become very skilled a fighting style that relies almost exclusively on kicks. He also has a great sense of humor.
Jacee Chavez was a toddler when her pixie-like wings grew, and her powers soon followed. She exhibited magical abilities reminiscent of a fairy, including flight and teleportation, as well as powerful bolts of energy.
Her parents were understandably concerned, and asked a family friend with experience raising super-powered children to help care for the girl. With his help, she learned to control her powers through the use of batons made from a very specific alloy. She dubbed these her "fairy wands". When she was 9 years old, she was in a building targeted by an arsonist, and she lost her left eye in the explosion.
Nicholas Darkwood has had the ability to control light and darkness energy. These powers generally manifest in the form of blades or batons.
When he was a child, he lived in a house a mile from an experimental energy plant, and was affected when the plant became ground zero for a massive fight between the police and a villainous warlock called Night Shade. The energies released when the plant exploded mutated Nicholas, and he began calling himself Paradox. In his teens, he decided to start a team, and started recruiting members alongside his not-quite-girlfriend Jacee, who codenamed herself Fairytale.
Emilia Stevens never knew her parents. She was raised by an adoptive family, and discovered her wings when she fell from the third floor window of her middle school.
After some experimentation, she learned that they reflexively extended from her forearms when she fell from a dangerous height. With practice, she has learned to control their appearance.
Betty Gaunt has the ability to create blades and brightly colored blasts from light. She has no knowledge of how her powers developed, and no real interest in finding out. She feels that to do so would ruin the "mystique" of having powers.
Eduardo Pena is the only person to exist in all alternate realities, and as such can summon himself from infinite dimensions to assist him in battle. Inversely, his doubles from other realities can call him to their aid as well.
He knows many other dimensions quite well, both from exploring them and from hearing about them from his doubles.
Woo, that was fun to write! Anyway, let me know what you think of them! Also, I might have a group of villains for them to fight, but I can't find some of the parts, so we'll see.
