Character Line-Up Highlights:

Devilina: the sister of the devil himself. Raised by her mother in a lonesome New England Manor, the two have vowed to defeat him in whatever vengeful way he manifests himself on earth to drag them back to Hell. Devilina struggles to use her powers for good, including telepathy, mind reading, teleportation and super strength.

Phoenix: Ed Tyler an astronaut from the doomed THRESHOLD I mission. His ship comes crashing down in the harsh tundra of the Arctic. He’s pulled from this wreckage, but his saviors are not of this world, they are the DEIEI, alien beings who live in a remote lab deep under the ice of the earth. Ed comes to a horrific realization that these beings created humanity as an experiment millions of years ago, and what’s worse… they’ve grown bored of us and plan to scrub the experiment clean.

The Grim Ghost: Matthew Dunsinane is an exceptional highwayman during the American Revolution. Stories of his exploits thrilled colonials and frontiersmen for years, and much like the story of Robin Hood, they grew bigger and more romantic in scale as they spread. The greatest story about him, however, would come after his capture and execution. Matthew was banished to Hell for his misdeeds but given a second chance to avoid burning in its fires for eternity. Now he collects souls for the devil’s army.

The Hands of the Dragon: Wu Teh grew up in a martial arts monastery where he was taught honor and discipline by his grandfather after the death of his parents in World War II. His brother Ling, however, took his parent’s deaths harder, and was prone to using his talents for martial arts to satisfy his rage against the world. Eventually, things came to a head and Lin kills his own grandfather and, which set Wu on a path for revenge. A path that leads him to sunny Los Angeles, where, by day, he assumes the role of a News Broadcaster.

Sgt. Stryker’s Death Squad: Sgt. Ben Stryker didn’t ask for his title and certainly didn’t ask to be the commander of an unruly military team known as the DEATH SQUAD. A Kansas farm boy raised as a pacifist doesn’t ask for such things, but the madness of World War II thrusts it upon him. On the battle-ravaged sands of Northern Africa, Ben finds himself as the last line of defense in protecting a massive allied retreat from the relentless Axis forces that pursue them.

Lomax: Lomax, a police officer who can’t remember a life before death, or where every day wasn’t a struggle just to survive. In the Korean War, he was one of the most decorated sharp shooters of his unit, honing a skill he just kind of discovered randomly and was unfortunately very good at. He supposes that’s why he became a cop, where killing and danger was legal. In a world of increasing politics and red tape, Lomax is an impatient enforcer. A blunt instrument brought into the fold of any operation when absolutely needed.
