Stingray today is a very conflicted young woman. She hates those she once loved, but mostly because she thinks they took advantage of her or didn’t return her regard. She desperately needs to prove herself, and the one thing she believes will do that is taking over Atlantis. All of her magic, all of her wilyness and intellect, is directed at that one goal. If she thinks allying with someone will help her achieve it, she’ll do that regardless of who they are or what their goals are. Underneath it all, though, she still cares about her brother and she still cares about Amphibian. It’s possible those nearly hidden emotions might give her pause at a key point. Of course, it’s also possible that she’ll gladly kill the both of them. With Stingray, it’s hard to know.

The Qwyjibo who fought Dr. Moreau and co-founded a peaceful manimal settlement is no more. In his place is a ravening monster. He cannot be allowed to rampage through the world. Knowing that he became this monster out of noble sacrifice makes it all the worse. No true hero wants to kill Qwyjibo, but someone must stop him.

Gigaton never believed that Dr. Destroyer died in the Battle of Detroit. Dr. Destroyer was just too powerful and too brilliant to be caught. And they never did find a body. So Gigaton has continued holding down the fort and running security in all the years Destroyer has been gone. Raksasha has been the brains, and Gigaton has been the brawn of the operation. They’re keeping Dr. Destroyer’s legacy going, waiting for the day Dr. Destroyer comes back.
Recently, though, Gigaton has seemed to be a bit more active. He’s been seen in the desert, not far from the area in which there has been nuclear testing going on. Something seems to be going on, but he’s not saying anything about it.

The one thing in the world that irritates her more than anything else is seeing her sister succeed. That’s right. Little wimpy Bethany became Witchcraft, one of the Champions. Talisman would just love to take her down. She nearly did it once, too, but was only able to curse her sister.
Unlike Witchcraft, who has studied a variety of different magics, Talisman has focused solely on her Darkness powers. She’s very powerful, but not very adaptable. She’s also petty and vindictive.
So long as she’s getting what she wants, she’s happy. Taking out her sister would make her very, very happy.

They are not kind gods, but they are gods. They are the gods who created the Lemurians, from mortal clay and cold fire. They are the gods who gave the Lemurians overweening pride, endless ambition, and terror to goad them. They gave the Lemurians the ability to change shape, skill at magic, and a promise. And what a promise it was!
