The Black Druid
aka ???
First Appearance: Issue 6
Known Powers: Transforms to an eagle. Magical powers.
Worked with Darkspell, Volt and the summoned demon Blaz.
Currently part of The Company with Black Witch, Swordsman, Dradoom
and Darkspell
NOTES:
- After encountering the Black Druid twice in the present
(Jewel and
The Day of the Company), they encountered him, or someone like him,
nearly a thousand years in the past in
A Trip in Time.
- After Issue 34, Black Druid is imprisoned in Dradoom's home dimension.
Notes From Heroes:
-
The Black Druid is more of an evil essence than an individual. This
essence has lived for hundreds of years looking for a host it can possess
and work its evil ways. Dux Brittanicus/Sir David of Brenlake was able to
resist its lure but since it has a host in the present day we know (a) that it
is active, and (b) it takes on the appearance of its host.

The Krai Empire is a star-spanning race of Ursoids. They are led by
a warrior class, who rule over a servant class -- the drones. The drones
are the support backbone of the Empire, but they are nearly useless in

dangerous. The most highly trained and best equipped of that class
can potentially go head to head with Earther superheros.

easily.

the effects of his experiments and was particularly ruthless in a recent
encounter with Flex.
- Weaknesses: Normal human being...Sting reports somewhat of a glass jaw.
- Team Affiliation: Connection with the Net, exact nature of which is
unknown at this point.
- PC Notes: He tends to favor nondescript, out of the way places for his
laboratories, places that people tend not to think about. His
motivation for his experiments is unknown, but what is known is his
callous disregard for human life, as evidenced by his experiments on
everyone from athletes to pregnant women. Could be a vital link to
the Net.
Schlacthaus
First Appearance: In flashback in Issue 29
German Member of the First World with White Pride, La Terreur and
Guy Fawkes
Known Powers: A power armour geek; suit with spikes and blades
protruding from it, enhanced strength. Rode a flying chariot.

endurance/toughness. Was somewhat hard to take down.
