Name: Benjamin "Ben" Edward Parker

Species: Homo Superior (As he is technically a mutant)

Age: 17

Appearance:

Costume: (They will get a custom made suit after the first arc. Until then, they can use whatever suit that's available)
3bfd77ec4e6ccd3480a6cb603c9beb69 (1).jpg

Powers: (Be reasonable. They shouldn't be a god with their powers already.)
Web Generation: Unlike his father, Ben naturally generates web from small sacks located in his wrists. They refill in about an hour or two, and can be activated at will. He can control the shape and consistency of his webbing, giving him much more versitility than his father. This comes at the cost of being unable to create specialized webbing, like tazer webs or web bombs, though.

Wall Crawling: Ben can cling to almost any surface using tiny hair like appendages on the palm of his hands and the bottom of his feet. They're extremely small, allowing him to wear gloves, though he does have to wear either thin shoes or socks due to the hair's being unable to pass through normal shoes.

Enhanced Strength, Speed, Reflexes, Agility, and Regeneration: Since the spider that bit his father was a jumping spider, Ben can lift over 120x his own weight, meaning he could hold 16,800 pounds for a minute or so. He can easily lift cars, and this goes for his speed as well. He can easily outrun a car going 60 mph, and is extremely nimble. He's so agile that he can stand on the side of a building with his back parallel to the ground, with his equilibrium balanced to the point that he doesn't fall over. His reflexes are off the charts as well, being able to dodge bullets if he knows it's coming. His final physical enhancement is his regeneration, which allows him to heal flesh wounds in minutes and major injuries in just days.

Unique Spider Quirks: Ben takes on many more spider-like abilities than his father. For example, due to male spiders being weaker and more agile that female spiders, Ben is actually weaker than his father, who had more broad powers. His legs are extremely powerful, letting him easily jump over twenty feet into the air without much trouble. He is an expert at judging distances due to his unique eyesight. Basically, he has two different eyesights: a blurry one and a clear one. The blurry is basically very foggy, but has an extremely wide perepheral vision, which means he can see any movement nearby. Then he uses his clear eyesight to lock onto it. This means that he can easily jump onto a passing helicopter without much trouble.

Spider-Sense: His most useful ability, Ben gets a light fuzzy feeling when danger's nearby. It's distinct, so he knows something's wrong, but it doesn't tell him where it is. He needs to use his other senses to help him on that. Over time it does get more powerful, with his father having straight up precognition at this point.
Skills: (What practical skills do they have?)
  • Electrical Engineering and Technology: He's an absolute genius with this, and is known to dismantle computers just to put them back together.
  • Chemistry: He has an understanding of the chemical makeup of his web, and various other things, but he is not a prodigy, like his father. He's always preferred tinkering.
  • Martial Arts: He has a yellow belt in judo and Krav Maga, mixing the two in with his webbing.
  • Strategy: As a genius, Ben is of course an excellent strategist, coming up with complicated plans on the fly, which is essential given his lack of experience and gear.
Strengths:
  • Genius level intellect, with an IQ of at least 160
  • Superhuman strength and abilities
  • High versitility
  • Extremely high will power and determination
  • Strong moral compass
Weaknesses: (What are their flaws? Weaknesses?)
  • Abilities fall short when compared to greater threats
  • Spider-Sense is underdeveloped
  • Tends to act rashly and out of instinct
  • Refuses to sacrifice his morals for any reason
Personality: (What are they like? How do they act and see themselves as?)
Unlike his father, Ben has always been a brash, cocky person. He likes cracking bad jokes and playing around, and rarely takes things seriously. He's quite the flirt, though he really only does this as a joke, more than anything. Under this facade, however, is a fragile, moral person. The loss of his mother made his sense of justice very strong, and he isn't afraid to argue his opinions with others. To him, the worst thing in the world is w coward, someone who refuses to help or do what's needed to help others. If you don't help, you might as well be committing the crime.
Quirks: (What are some weird little things they do or say?)

Background:
Born to Peter and Mary Jane Parker in Queens, New York, Ben was never like his father. Outgoing, confident, and energetic, the only thing he did share with Peter was his intelligence, which Ben had plenty of. He was dismantling the TV by the time he was five, and was building robots by twelve. It wss during puberty that his powers emerged, but his stubbornness and confusion made him hide it from his parents. He first used it for personal game. Mainly taking on bullies and getting ahead in school. But then, just like his father, his eyes were opened. He was walking inside of his mother's flower shop after school when he noticed a shady bunch of characters throw something into the side dumpster. He simply shrugged and walked inside, thinking that whatever it was wasn't his problem. Well, turns out those men were terrorists, and the thing they threw in the dumpster was a bomb. They were an anti-Mutant group of extremists, and the neighborhood was known for it's high population of mutants. The bomb blew up half the block, along with half of the flower shop. Ben survived with a couple of broken bones and a concussion, but Mary Jane wasn't so lucky. Ben was devastated, and he was never the same. He hated himself, and the apathy he showed. To him, the worst kind of person was the one who could do something, but refused to. After cobbling together a costume from his father's old clothes, Ben donned the name of Spider-Man, and it's been like this ever since. He's recently gotten an internship at Stark industries, though he hasn't even been in the presence of Tony Stark. His main job, however, is working at the flower shop, primarily deliveries and the like. In fact, his internship is what got Tony's attention, as he wasn't sure what happened to the Parker family, and decided to keep an eye on the kid, which eventually paid off.

Name: Daniel "Dan" Howard Stark

Alias: Iron Lad

Species: Human

Age: 17

Appearance:
closeup-portrait-1718-years-old-260nw-709912927.jpg


Costume:
j1xz34pfvhuwx2eszfmd.jpg
(He would be building it during the first arc)

Powers: Arc Reactor Paralysis (Temporary Paralysis, sent as a inaudible radio wave that targets threats specifically) More to come.

Skills: Good at building, engineering, and design. He was taught these things while with his father, Anthony Stark (Tony Stark).

Strengths: He is extremely good at designing, engineering, and building suits, and he models his suits after those of his father, even using some remains of the ones destroyed in Iron Man 3.

Weaknesses: One of his main weaknesses is exhaustion. He often stays up late at night, thus getting barely any sleep.

Personality: He acts like Tony in the way that he is ignorant. This is due to the fact that, besides the teachings in suit building, his father barely interacted with him as a child, and they rarely interact.

Quirks: He acts like his father, this being partially ignorant towards others, and he also is cocky.

Background: Born on April 23rd, 2001, Daniel "Dan" Howard Stark is the son of Anthony Stark and Virginia Potts. He was alone most of his life, barely having any friends during his school life, and his parents were divorced after a year. This has and will carry on to affect him. He began to build suits at age 14, and his father taught him what he knew. Although, when his father died, he snapped. Completely and utterly snapped. He became anti-social, even towards close friends. He stopped making suits. He seemed like he lost his soul. This caused him to have mood swings from time to time, and destroy his fathers suits out of despair, and anger towards himself.

Name: Zachary "Zach" Banner

Alias: Brawn

Species: Zach:Human, Brawn:?

Age: 16

Appearance:

Zach: Zach.jpg

Brawn:Brawn.jpg

Costume: Costume would most likely be a durable pair of pants, with nothing covering the upper body. (Brawn shares the same sentiments about shirts, as the Hulk).

Powers:

Brawn: Brawn is another Hulk. Albeit smaller, and not quite as limitlessly strong. (Not at his current age at least). Brawn can lift about 90-100 tons at a time. Although that’s when he’s on a very high rage level. Normally it would be closer to 75. And that’s not for very long. Brawn has an enhanced healing factor. Allowing it to heal incredibly quickly compared to that of a normal human being. Brawn can also cover distance quickly with huge leaps. Brawn is slightly more intelligent than Hulk. Capable of short sweet to the point conversation. Although it doesn't have a bit of hand to hand fighting skill. It usually doesn't need any to win a fight when most ordinary people can be squished like a bug. Brawn’s strength will grow as he does.

Genius: It would be silly for the son of a scientist like Bruce Banner to be stupid. Although he's no rocket scientist Zach was taught under his father's tutelage. Although he didn't ever wish to be as big or glamourous as the super genius super heroes of the past. He's one smart cookie nonetheless. At least when he's himself.

Skills:

-Close up magic.

-Quite the artistic type.

-Mathematics

-Coding/Hacking

Strengths:

-Common sense

-Strength

-Easy-going

-Committed

Weaknesses:

-Pent up anger issues

-Hates turning into Brawn with a passion/ Vice versa.

-Slow to action.

-Second guesses himself even after its too late to go back.

Personality: Zach is a pretty chill guy. He has to be, because whenever he loses his cool he turns into a green rage monster. He has a pacifistic nature, and hates any sort of argument or drama. He can seem like he doesn't care about a life or death situation. And can even come across as uncaring by being jovial during a time of depression. Zach does feel for things but he has a knack for fighting down emotions, anything to keep the mean green anger machine in check. He will crack jokes and when faced with a fight will try and talk his way out of it even if that's just delaying the inevitable. Brawn doesn't have much more going for him other than angry sentences, and questions it usually doesn't wait to hear the answer to.

Quirks:

-Will often make pop-culture references, and sing quietly to himself when working.

-The only sure fire way to see if something is getting to this guy is if he gets especially fidgety


Background: Zach's early life isn't exceptional especially compared to other children of superheroes. At that point Bruce Banner had effectively tamed his beast to raise a family, and for years they were under the illusion that his son was a completely ordinary human. Even looking, and acting the part. Zach was always an excitable child, and was often inquisitive about everything. Although when he got old enough to understand the sacrifices of the past heroes, he'd didn't want any of the glamourous fame. Just a nice ordinary life for himself, and his friends and family.

That all changed the day he was in highschool and he began to be the target of bullying. Zach got sick of that pretty fast and he quickly stood up for himself. What he wasn't expecting was the first appearance of the monster Brawn. After causing quite the ruckus Brawn was pacified and reverted back to Zach. Who was horrified. Especially after all the horror stories he'd gotten from Bruce Banner. Given a few months Zach became a happy husk. Terrified that if he let negative emotion show Brawn would take over again, and that it would do something worse than cause a ruckus the next time.

Name: Sarah Rogers

Alias: Starr

Species: Human, mutant?

Age:17

Appearance: 1FBE2BFE-9BE2-4134-AC0F-DE272C1A5411.jpeg

Costume: Simple dark blue suit, for now. W/Captain America’s shield.

Powers:

Superhuman strength: Sarah is superhumanly strong and can lift around 50 tons.


Flight: Sarah is able to fly through the air, presumably at subsonic speeds.

Skills:Martial Arts, (Black belt in judo) she uses in her combat.

Strengths:

-Calm in most situations

-Strong

-Commited

Weaknesses:

-Can be Judgmental

-Always thinks she can/could’ve been better.

-Tries to save everyone.

Personality: Sarah would like to think of herself as a hero, she’d like to.. Sarah’s pretty straight-foward with her feelings. But hard to read if she doesn’t want you to know what she’s feeling, she’s very stotic most of the time, she’s ready to get the job done, hopefully quick & easy.

Quirks: When something is bothering her, she plays with her necklace occasionally.

Background: Sarah Always knew she wasn’t like the other children, like that one time in 4th grade when she pushed Syndey Johnson, she broke both of her arms, sure she apologized.. but that wasn’t the point, the point was she needed to learn how to control her strength. It wasn’t like she could go to her father, all the time. it was difficult for him to be around. Despite his absence for most of the time, she looked up to him. She never knew her mother, Anna-Marie, she passed away during childbirth. However she heard many stories about Rogue, she mostly inherited her powers from her mother.

Sarah had some help learning how to control her powers, whenever her father could be around he taught her a bit. But she trained on her-own for the most part, her flying is a bit flimsy, but she’s mostly postive she can handle it..mostly.

After her father’s death, it almost broke her. She thought that he would want her to be at her strongest, so. She trained harder then before, she pushed herself to the limits, finding petty crime on the streets. And punishing them for more then they’re worth, a while later. When she stopped herself, she had almost killed a man, he was on the brink of death. Just for stealing a purse, she realized the error of her ways.

A few weeks later she’d visited her father’s grave. And she promised to be strong, to be better.

th
Name: Thomas Shepherd-Maximoff

Alias: Speed / Speed Devil

Species: Homo Superior; Mutant

Age: 18

Appearance:

Born thanks to Wanda's reality-shaping powers, Thomas originally had snow white hair like his uncle Pietro but he, more often than not, dye it to different colors. As to why he does this, he simply says that it's because it's so easy to dye his hair. There's no real deeper meaning to his actions. Currently, it's dyed brown. He plans on keeping his original hair after this one. He has a rather athletic build thanks to his continuous training ever since he had discovered his powers, which was when he was rather young.

Costume: A skin-tight suit to lessen his 'floppiness' of billowing loose clothing. He's colored it blue and yellow because of the trail of aura that he leaves behind.

Powers:

Superhuman Speed: Like his uncle Pietro, Thomas can go up to speeds beyond that of most vehicles and machinery present in the current world. He has been seen to get up to speeds of 691 mphand he seems to only get faster from there, nearly reaching Mach 1. However, he does need to keep a check on his speed or else he might lose control. However, this is only when he tries to push himself beyond what he is capable. So far, he hasn't shown any signs of losing control of his speed. To most people, he seems like a blur. He generates an aura of dark blue, white and transparent energy which seems to protect him from the damage that would regularly happen when going at this speed and then hitting something. This results in some sort of air-like trail whenever he moves. He can share this aura with a person he is carrying so that he wouldn't harm them even if he was carrying them.

Momentum Enhancement: Due to his superhuman speed, he can bump up his average strength. Though he would not be capable of lifting anything, he can push or punch something hard enough that it seems like he has physcal enhancements. However, this can only happen when he's going at his super speed as that is where his momentum comes from. So far, his punch at a certain speed can cause someone to stagger back.

Increased Metabolism: Due to this increased metabolism (a side-effect from his power), he can recover from injuries rather quickly. He once had been stabbed but was able to recover within minutes and act as if nothing happened. Of course, this does not factor in the shock and pain that would be caused right after he had been injured. This also lessens the effect of stuns on him.

Improved Thermal Homeostasis: This allows him to resist the effects of friction and heat while moving at high speeds.

Superhuman Reflexes: As a result of moving at superhuman speeds, his mind is rewired to see everything in slow motion to compromise with how fast he will be going. While he hasn't gone on to be able to catch things in mid-air, he can at least react to dodge them. So long as he isn't surprised that is.

Enhanced Mental Process: Since his body has the ability to go a mile a minute, his own mind can process things at an increased rate which allows him to run various simulations inside his head and choose what to do in a few seconds. This also helps a lot in school, though, recently, he's only been using it for his own calculations as he does his job.

  • Knows his way around a computer as well as hacking
  • Parkour
  • Bilingual - has the innate ability to speak Sokovian (much to his surprise)
  • Street Fighting
Strengths:
  • Fast Learner
  • Can lighten up the mood
  • Excellent control over his power
  • Street smart
  • Strategic fighter
Weaknesses:
  • Pragmatic
  • Skeptical
  • Easily distracted
  • Will sacrifice someone if need be
  • Poor moral compass
Personality: The first thing he says about himself is he isn't a 'hero' kid. He's never seen himself as the self-sacrificing sort. Perhaps the only reasons that really keeps him working for the team is because of his mother - in a sense that he's there to pay for what his mother has done that ruined the Avengers - and the fact that he has nowhere else to go. Though, he would never say that out loud. He seems to just go with the flow with whatever they choose, though will offer his opinions when he feels like they're not getting anywhere. Though he isn't hero material in his eyes, he does do his best in what they do since he figured that he might as well since he's arleady there.

Surprisingly, Thomas is rather loyal to the team. He will never go down the same path that his mother did, even if he can understand that she just went crazy. His personal opinions of his mother, even though he's rather skeptical on what really happened to her, is kept a secret to himself. Though, he's been known to simply call her 'Wanda' instead of 'mother'.

Thomas is a sociable person who laughs and smiles frequently. He can be charming and has been known to make friends nearly everwyhere he goes. He's seen as a laid back sort of guy but he's a surprisingly hard worker when push comes to shove. It's just that he doesn't want to expend too much energy into something he doesn't enjoy nor need. He can sometimes be rather sarcastic and lets out quips here and there to his friends, but it's mostly meant in jest. One of his coping mechanisms when they're in a bad situation is sarcasting commentary - whether out loud or just inside his head.

Quirks:
  • He has a thick Sokovian accent despite having never been to Sokovia.
  • He can't sit still for more than a minue and he will start tapping his fingers or his foot.
  • His crosses his arms when he's serious about something
Background: Thomas Shepherd never knew that he was adopted until after he was located by a SHIELD agent at the age of 15. He had been living a rather normal life back then; if anything, it was just his mutant powers of super speed that was different. Imagine two normal parents having a hyperactive child who has super speed: that was the life of his adopted parents. They were very patient with him and taught him his manners. However, at the age of 8, they got involved in a devastating car crash which left the both of them dead. Thomas only survived thanks to his mutant genes and went on to live in an orphanage who really bore down on him, restricting him from using his powers. He hated this place with a passion.

He was picked up by one agent named Maria Hill. Finding Thomas was easy since he had escaped the orphanage using his speed and was promptly caputed by SHIELD. There, it was explained that he had the same DNA as Scarlet Witch - a woman gone rogue and killed some, if not all, the Avengers. This seemed to shock Thomas and quesioned how they knew and they explained it to him thoroughly. Of course, he hadn't been convinced at first. It was a far fetched idea. But as he grew up in SHIELD, it soon became clear that he was, in fact, Wanda Maximoff and Vision's child. He apparently had a twin brother too. Thomas worked for SHIELD for a few years before being transferred to this new group that consisted of the children of the Avengers.

He had originally wanted to continue his uncle's legacy by using Quicksilver but was persuaded to take on another alias: Speed was given to him by SHIELD but he refers to himself as Speed Devil.
 
th
Name: Thomas Shepherd-Maximoff

Alias: Speed / Speed Devil

Species: Homo Superior; Mutant

Age: 18

Appearance:

Born thanks to Wanda's reality-shaping powers, Thomas originally had snow white hair like his uncle Pietro but he, more often than not, dye it to different colors. As to why he does this, he simply says that it's because it's so easy to dye his hair. There's no real deeper meaning to his actions. Currently, it's dyed brown. He plans on keeping his original hair after this one. He has a rather athletic build thanks to his continuous training ever since he had discovered his powers, which was when he was rather young.

Costume: A skin-tight suit to lessen his 'floppiness' of billowing loose clothing. He's colored it blue and yellow because of the trail of aura that he leaves behind.

Powers:

Superhuman Speed: Like his uncle Pietro, Thomas can go up to speeds beyond that of most vehicles and machinery present in the current world. He has been seen to get up to speeds of 691 mphand he seems to only get faster from there, nearly reaching Mach 1. However, he does need to keep a check on his speed or else he might lose control. However, this is only when he tries to push himself beyond what he is capable. So far, he hasn't shown any signs of losing control of his speed. To most people, he seems like a blur. He generates an aura of dark blue, white and transparent energy which seems to protect him from the damage that would regularly happen when going at this speed and then hitting something. This results in some sort of air-like trail whenever he moves. He can share this aura with a person he is carrying so that he wouldn't harm them even if he was carrying them.

Momentum Enhancement: Due to his superhuman speed, he can bump up his average strength. Though he would not be capable of lifting anything, he can push or punch something hard enough that it seems like he has physcal enhancements. However, this can only happen when he's going at his super speed as that is where his momentum comes from. So far, his punch at a certain speed can cause someone to stagger back.​
Increased Metabolism: Due to this increased metabolism (a side-effect from his power), he can recover from injuries rather quickly. He once had been stabbed but was able to recover within minutes and act as if nothing happened. Of course, this does not factor in the shock and pain that would be caused right after he had been injured. This also lessens the effect of stuns on him.​
Improved Thermal Homeostasis: This allows him to resist the effects of friction and heat while moving at high speeds.​
Superhuman Reflexes: As a result of moving at superhuman speeds, his mind is rewired to see everything in slow motion to compromise with how fast he will be going. While he hasn't gone on to be able to catch things in mid-air, he can at least react to dodge them. So long as he isn't surprised that is.​
Enhanced Mental Process: Since his body has the ability to go a mile a minute, his own mind can process things at an increased rate which allows him to run various simulations inside his head and choose what to do in a few seconds. This also helps a lot in school, though, recently, he's only been using it for his own calculations as he does his job.​

  • Knows his way around a computer as well as hacking
  • Parkour
  • Bilingual - has the innate ability to speak Sokovian (much to his surprise)
  • Street Fighting
Strengths:
  • Fast Learner
  • Can lighten up the mood
  • Excellent control over his power
  • Street smart
  • Strategic fighter
Weaknesses:
  • Pragmatic
  • Skeptical
  • Easily distracted
  • Will sacrifice someone if need be
  • Poor moral compass
Personality: The first thing he says about himself is he isn't a 'hero' kid. He's never seen himself as the self-sacrificing sort. Perhaps the only reasons that really keeps him working for the team is because of his mother - in a sense that he's there to pay for what his mother has done that ruined the Avengers - and the fact that he has nowhere else to go. Though, he would never say that out loud. He seems to just go with the flow with whatever they choose, though will offer his opinions when he feels like they're not getting anywhere. Though he isn't hero material in his eyes, he does do his best in what they do since he figured that he might as well since he's arleady there.

Surprisingly, Thomas is rather loyal to the team. He will never go down the same path that his mother did, even if he can understand that she just went crazy. His personal opinions of his mother, even though he's rather skeptical on what really happened to her, is kept a secret to himself. Though, he's been known to simply call her 'Wanda' instead of 'mother'.

Thomas is a sociable person who laughs and smiles frequently. He can be charming and has been known to make friends nearly everwyhere he goes. He's seen as a laid back sort of guy but he's a surprisingly hard worker when push comes to shove. It's just that he doesn't want to expend too much energy into something he doesn't enjoy nor need. He can sometimes be rather sarcastic and lets out quips here and there to his friends, but it's mostly meant in jest. One of his coping mechanisms when they're in a bad situation is sarcasting commentary - whether out loud or just inside his head.

Quirks:
  • He has a thick Sokovian accent despite having never been to Sokovia.
  • He can't sit still for more than a minue and he will start tapping his fingers or his foot.
  • His crosses his arms when he's serious about something
Background: Thomas Shepherd never knew that he was adopted until after he was located by a SHIELD agent at the age of 15. He had been living a rather normal life back then; if anything, it was just his mutant powers of super speed that was different. Imagine two normal parents having a hyperactive child who has super speed: that was the life of his adopted parents. They were very patient with him and taught him his manners. However, at the age of 8, they got involved in a devastating car crash which left the both of them dead. Thomas only survived thanks to his mutant genes and went on to live in an orphanage who really bore down on him, restricting him from using his powers. He hated this place with a passion.

He was picked up by one agent named Maria Hill. Finding Thomas was easy since he had escaped the orphanage using his speed and was promptly caputed by SHIELD. There, it was explained that he had the same DNA as Scarlet Witch - a woman gone rogue and killed some, if not all, the Avengers. This seemed to shock Thomas and quesioned how they knew and they explained it to him thoroughly. Of course, he hadn't been convinced at first. It was a far fetched idea. But as he grew up in SHIELD, it soon became clear that he was, in fact, Wanda Maximoff and Vision's child. He apparently had a twin brother too. Thomas worked for SHIELD for a few years before being transferred to this new group that consisted of the children of the Avengers.
