Ever hear those stories about an angel appearing before some disaster or some pivotal moment in history? Then you've heard about an ex-roommate of mine. Me and him, we're historians. Our specialty is natural disasters. We research specific moments in history when an event strikes and then go back in time to see exactly what kind of effects it had on the world. Personally, after looking at incidents that happened all along the lifespan of the Omniverse, I became interested in the happenings of an era known to my time as the Age of Champions. That time period had a lot of weird stuff occurring all the time and nobody could make heads or tails why. Martian invasions, several manifestations of the Apocalypse, insane conqueror after insane conqueror being defeated by leagues of superheros. The list goes on and on. I myself got interested in the Age of Champions because of about a dozen natural events that transpired in a period of only a few months in the same general volume around Khazan City Proper. I had to know what caused them, so I requisitioned a time machine and started what I was sure would be my winning thesis (I won't tell you what it is because then everyone will know and I won't have any new research). It's been ten years since I did that research project. It's only just occurred to me that I could make a killing from my youthful exploits by entering myself into this organization, the Fantasy Powers League, claiming the natural disasters as my powers. I could then travel back to the end of my observations and take my winnings so I could make a comfortable life for myself. I kind of wish I'd thought of it ten years ago. Though it explains why someone always tried to kill me when I travelled...

 

Personality: You'd think my job would be a bit depressing, wouldn't you? Living day after day looking at people who you can save but can't because it might end your own existence. Nah. That only happens to characters in angsty novels. I know I shouldn't go around saving lives and changing history. If I didn't they wouldn't let me borrow the university's time machines. Besides, if I did that, all my research would become useless.

Skies opening up into hellfire

  • Power: Weather Control
  • Level:Ultimate
  • Kit Power Link: Energy Conduit
  • Area Effect This attack causes damage in a large area.
  • Seeker This attack hunts and follows its target.
  • Ranged Attack Attack usable at a distance (only).
  • Multi Attack Attack can hit multiple times during one strike.
This is what piqued my interest in the AoC disasters in the first place. When the description of a natural disaster involves hellfire, you really want to look at it more closely. Like I said, I'm not willing to tell you exactly what made these things happen, but I'll warn you that you should look into aluminum foil headgear until this stuff blows over or you'll be getting nasty headaches a couple decades later.

Records of a distant rumbling

  • Power: Earth Quake
  • Level:Ultimate
  • Kit Power Link: Energy Conduit
  • Area Effect This attack causes damage in a large area.
  • Ranged Attack Attack usable at a distance (only).
  • Multi Attack Attack can hit multiple times during one strike.
This thing and the weather phenomena, I was surprised to find, were completely unrelated to each other. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why the weather would cause geological disturbances like this. When I finally figured out that it was a complete coincidence that they happened at the same time, I began to wonder more how exactly the city managed to stay erect when by the time it was over.

From here to there

I'd visit the location of a disaster about a hundred times to make sure that everything is looked at by a fresh mind. By that time in my life, I'd become a master at popping into a time no more than a moment after I'd left from a previous excursion. You really have to be careful when you're doing this kind of thing. You pop too far forward in time, you miss part of the show. You pop too far back in time, you risk meeting yourself and generally screwing up your own personal timeline. I can never forget that one time when I told myself not to watch that one movie about the talking dog under any circumstances. I also kind of wish I'd listened to me. Man, that was a terrible movie...

Vacation Time

The best thing about time travel: You can always take a week's vacation without anybody noticing. More to the point, you can recuperate from a nasty gash on the head for a week without anybody noticing. Okay... They do notice. You don't disappear for half a second bleeding from the cut on your arm and then reappear with a bandaid and a new set of clothes without generating a few questions. Not that people noticed during the AoC Disasters. They tended to be more worried about getting out of the way of those falling blocks of masonry or avoiding the next lightning strike. Strange how people tend to ignore the important facts while their lives are in danger.

The Palaeontolgy Department

  • Power: Weapons Creation
  • Level:Standard
  • Melee Attack Attack usable only hand to hand.
Okay, I've got a buddy in the palaeontology department who's able to sneak me a couple hunting weapons when it looks like things are gonna be difficult. Nothing really useful or that can be missed. Maybe a hunting knife or a hatchet, but nothing more complex. I'm surprised, actually. These palaeontologists must be really tough cookies to be able to fend off a raptor with just this stuff. But I'll bet they'd be wetting their pants if their raptors could fly and breathe fire just like I did when I saw my first opponent.

The History Books

  • Power: Tactician
  • Level:Standard
  • Melee Attack Attack usable only hand to hand.
As I settled into my routine of travelling back to one of the AoC disasters and fighting off the odd mutant, I began to wonder whether any of these fights might have been recorded somewhere. I looked around now and then until I found a document that said that I was a fighter in the Fantasy Powers League. Back then, I figured that I was given the title automatically for killing metahumans, according to their primitive laws. In my records was a transcript of my "battles" and how I finally managed to defeat my opponents. I figured that using this, I could stop these guys faster and get back to studying the disasters like a good historian. It worked, you know. I'm alive, aren't I?
