Name: The Masked Acolyte
Real Name: Martin
Classification: Superhero
Known Abilities: Flight. Energy blasts of yet-undetermined nature. Sarcasm.
Known Weaknesses: Not very good at keeping secret identity. Mentally unstable.
Description: The Masked Acolyte is perhaps the least well-known superhero around, but this doesn't stop him from dreaming of two-fisted glory. His origins are, as yet, untold. He drives a 1980 Malibu Classic, which he calls "the Acolyte-Mobile." Voted "Most Likely To Be On The News For Crimes Against Humanity" by his graduating class. Odd sense of humor. Not at ALL autobiographical, says the author.

Name: Boxboy
Real Name: Boxboy
Classification: Clueless Person
Known Abilities: Stating the obvious. Watching TV. Being relentlessly normal.
Known Weaknesses: Flammable head. Cheap suit. Easily impressed / persuaded / fooled.
Description: Boxboy is basically an ordinary wage slave, except that his head happens to be a cardboard box with a face drawn on it. It is unknown whether he got this in an accident, or whether he's just got a box for a head, or what. It's kind of freaky, really, and he'd be a disturbing supervillain if he was the least bit malicious.

Name: Flying Fox
Real Name: Unknown
Classification: Superhero
Known Abilities: Flight. Distraction of males.
Known Weaknesses: None known.
Description: Flying Fox is the sole female member of the 401-er's, but often gets the most attention. She also happens to be a fairly good inventor, and often is the gadgeteer of the group. Sometimes feels inferior for not having innate superpowers, but is often the most competent of the bunch

Known Weaknesses: Fog power!
Description: Fogman's abilities are a double-edged sword.

His 401-Trouble-Alert-Pager is often mysteriously misplaced ...

Classification: Superhero
Known Abilities: Invisibility. Moping.
Known Weaknesses: Depression. Sunlight.
Description: Invisigoth discovered at a young age that his nascent abilities of sulking were more than just a mood. He found that he could fade completely from sight if he simply whined or moped hard enough. He became a full-time superhero upon reaching adulthood, but doesn't seem to enjoy it.
