ABC's of Crimsonstreak: Letter O


O is for the Observers.

In July of 1996, a six-member team of "superheroes from the future" arrived on Earth warning of an alien invasion that would forever alter the course of the future. They called themselves the "Observers," adamant in their insistence that an invasion was imminent.

Yet, the attack never came. Colonel Chaos and Miss Lightspeed quickly exposed the "heroes" as frauds, and they were returned to the future.

The Observers consisted of:

Jokey Jokemaker
Hombre Azul
Jen Saturn
Splotch
Midnight Wren
Osiris

ABC's of Crimsonstreak: Letter N


N is for New World Common Wealth.


Dissatisfied with the current state of the world, Colonel Chaos decided to remake it in his image. His solution: the New World Common Wealth, a one-world government run by Chaos and his seemingly endless supply of Enforcers. Declaring himself High Imperator, Chaos stripped away the individual identities of states and entire countries, dividing the world into NWCW Regions.

A totalitarian government, the NWCW demands complete obedience from its citizens. Chaos is obsessed with total control of every facet of life, from the internet and travel to commerce and the media. As his Enforcers fight off an underground resistance from the remaining superheroes, Chaos and his minions ramp up a propaganda campaign urging citizens to "report unregistered supers."

Perhaps more alarming is the NWCW's rallying cry: "Enemies of the Common Wealth must die!"

ABC's of Crimsonstreak: Letter M


M is for Miss Lightspeed.

The mother of Crimsonstreak and wife to Colonel Chaos, Miss Lightspeed is one of the world's leading heroes. Her abilities include flight, superstrength, and superspeed.

In the 1960s and 70s, she fought and captured the world's most preeminent supervillain, Colonel Chaos. Despite their obvious rivalry, the two eventually fell in love and Chaos repented for his evil ways. They worked together to handle several world crises and eventually brought a son into the world.

A champion for world peace, Miss Lightspeed has been known to "go rogue" on peace missions, offering aid and diplomatic solutions for countries other nations refuse to help. She is also believed to be one of the fastest people on Earth.

During Crimsonstreak's freshman year of college, Miss Lightspeed was killed during a battle against the murderous madman Zeus Caesar. Her death sent her husband into a tailspin, and he returned to his more sinister ways. Years later, Miss Lightspeed implausibly returned, her husband telling the world that she'd simply been in "suspended animation" for several years.
