Chapter Text

The Midnighter: 43 Years old. A decade ago he publicly revealed his identity along with his address, announcing that if any villain was stupid enough to come looking for him, he would consider what happened next a suicide.
Post Human Solder, broken down to component systems and rebuilt as a murder addicted killing machine with an utterly black and white sense of morality
Does not understand the fact that many younger heroes look to him as an example, his take on the matter is “Love who you love, and violently murder anyone who gives you shit”
Even into middle age, he goes on edge lord rants about how dangerous and deadly he is, those around him have decided that they will deal with this, mostly because he’s right.
Friends with Lois Lane due to her endless pursuit of the truth, no matter who it pisses off, and Salina Kyle for their shared love of blood resistant rubber clothing.
He promises he will get around to enacting vengeance on her some day, but there are more pressing targets around.
Drinking buddies with Cole Cash, the Grifter
He is the Husband of Apollo who sees through the edge lord persona and the father of Jenny Quark, who is the only person he allows himself to drop his persona around, as proven by a video file circulating the internet of him reenacting Frozen with her.

Apollo: 45 Years Old. Golden Warrior of Good. at his peak his potential rivals Superman. Understands that he is a role model for several different demographics, and tries to live up to it. Feels compassion for every living thing.
Spends his time with Clark Kent, who’s example he wants to live up to, but he still considered murder to be a valid, if last, result.

Jenny Mei Quark (Quantum): The Spirit of the 21st Century. Is aware of all the retcons and universe changes that have happened around her. Chronically insecure and lives in the shadow of Jenny Sparks. Feels the need to constantly point out that as things go, the 21st century is going better than the start of the 20th.
Lives in the guest bedroom of Aunt Angela Spica (the Engineer). Is depressed that her middle aged Aunt has a better sex life than she does.
Spends her time following around the alien bounty hunter Lobo, and using him as discount therapy, because what the hell is he going to do about it.

Cole Cash: Nearing the age of 70, although perpetually in his early 20s. Just wants to play first person shooters, make love to his ageless warrior wife, and collect his military pension. Finds himself endlessly dragged off his sofa to be a mouthpiece for Midnighter. "Did the Midnighter reduce the over all population of Blüdhaven by 30%.... yes, yes he did, but come on... its Bludhaven..."

Lobo: Does Not get paid enough for this shit
