The Extremists

Heralding from a parallel universe (a slight variant upon the world of the original Extremists faced by the Justice League Europe) where the Earth was conquered by the super-villain known as Lord Havok and his team of super-villains, the Extremists, the new Extremists are carrying on the legacy of the first group. Their mission? To conquer our Earth.

Lady Havok

Christina Havok was the adopted ward of the original Lord Havok. A child prodigy, she excelled in robotics and weapons systems from an early age. But none of her accomplishments were ever good enough for her adopted father, no matter how much she strove to prove herself to him. With the invention of transmatter technology allowing travel between parallel worlds, she came up with a plan. She, like her father before her, would conquer an entire world. And then she would be good enough.

Powers: Lady Havok’s armor allows flight and super-strength. It contains a force field and numerous other built in weapons. She possesses a genius-level intellect.

Seeker

Formed from the merger of two individual metahuman hunting androids, Seeker’s programming was overridden by Lady Havok and forced into her service. Of all the Extremists, he is the one most loyal to her and would gladly allow himself to be destroyed in her service.

Powers: Seeker possesses incredible strength and durability, flight, and the ability to fire energy blasts from his eyes. In addition, he can corrupt non-metahumans with his nannites, transforming them temporarily into cyborgs under his control.

Terror

A former disciple of first generation Extremist Dr. Diehard, Terror broke with his mentor when he decided that the magnetic terrorist didn’t go far enough. He’ll settle for nothing less than the complete annihilation of anyone without a metagene.

Powers: Terror possesses telekinesis on an incredible power level.

Mayhem

A serial killer bonded with an alien parasite. Swift, deadly, and utterly insane, Mayhem kills for the sheer joy of killing. His answer to “why did you chop Grandma up and mail her to the children?” is “because I couldn’t afford UPS.”

Powers: Bonded to an alien parasite, Mayhem’s body is essentially an unstable molecule chain, able to be reshaped into any form he desires, though he usually prefers simply to create bladed weapons.

The Goblin

Professor Davis Warren Miles was an expert geneticist, until a lab accident transformed him into the diabolic Goblin! Declaring that he had transcended humanity, he’s become determined to offer the rest of the world(s) his gift of genetic freedom.

Powers: The Goblin possesses low-level super-human strength and agility. He is a brilliant geneticist, specializing in mutagenic formulas.

Barbarus

The servant of an powerful alien, Barbarus rebelled against his master and found himself stranded on Earth. With the promise of being able to soar and conquer the spaceways of another universe if he helps her conquest, Lady Havok has earned his loyalty for the moment.

Powers: Barbarus is as physically strong and durable as a Kryptonian. His mace possesses the ability to channel and direct cosmic energy and allows him to fly.

The Answer is Blowing in the Wind

“The Answer is Blowing in the Wind”

--this plot takes place sometime after “Winds of Change”

1) The YJLA is working disaster relief to help prevent a hurricane in Florida. This hurricane is highly unnatural and is, in fact, the result of Kobra using weather control satellites.

2) While the others work mostly at rescue efforts, building barriers, and the like, Traya heads into the eye of the hurricane to try and use her powers to break it up.

3) A massive bolt of lightning from the accompanying storm strikes out at the exact moment Traya puts all her power into breaking the hurricane up. The hurricane dissolves, but a seemingly dead--and very badly burned at any rate—Traya falls back to Earth.

4) They take Tray back to HQ and go through the process of calling Reddy and Kathy, as well as their own mourning.

5) Before anything else can happen, another distress call goes out for the YJLA to respond to: another hurricane, even stronger than the last one, is coming. Worse, weather patterns are going crazy all across the globe.

6) In the midst of battling this weather gone crazy, Traya reappears, seemingly none the worse for wear. But she puts a stop to the storms, this time without dying. She speaks of being able to actually feel the disruptions to the planet. (The feedback from stopping the storms destroys the satellite).

7) With Traya tracking the source of the disruptions, the YJLA track down and smash the Kobra cell that was controlling the satellite.

8) Traya is revealed to be the Earth’s new air elemental, now much more sensitive to weather patterns and environmental conditions, as well as more powerful (possible cameo from someone mystic, like Victoria Craft). What else this entails for her has yet to be seen…

Winds of Change

2010-09-24T00:25:38Z

“Winds of Change”

1) The Smith household is attacked by robots built by T. O. Morrow. Kathy Sutton is badly injured, Reddy is badly damaged, and Traya is taken prisoner. By the time the YJLA is able to arrive on the scene, it’s already too late and the heroes are pretty much left without a clue.

2) Not long after, Maxine Hunkle (Bronson?) is also attacked. This time, the heroes are ready and respond in time.

3) Putting two and two together between the two different attacks (and the nature of the robots themselves), the heroes deduce that Morrow is behind them.

4) Morrow, meanwhile, is attempting to experiment upon Traya (and would have on Maxine as well) in order to create a new Air Elemental that he can control.

5) Morrow continues his experimentation as the YJLA arrive to rescue Traya and battle his robots. But the experimentation awakens an aspect of the Tornado Tyrant that had bonded with Traya, causing her to become, in effect, the new Tornado Tyrant, who attacks both Morrow and the YJLA.

6) With fighting going poorly for the team, they use Cindy to talk Traya down and return her to relative normal. (normal for Traya, anyway) Traya also opts to take up the codename Tornado Champion at this point, over Whirlwind.

7) Unbeknownst to anyone, however, all of this does kick off the process of Traya slowly becoming the new Air Elemental for Earth… the consequences of which will someday be seen…
