• Myke Blackmon: Sable's on-again/Off-again girlfriend and illustrator.
• Chief Winters: While an antagonistic relationship exists between Sable and Winters, it was shown to soften a bit (Shaman's Tears # 5) to the point that Winters probably is a contact.

Limitations:

• Public ID: Sable maintains his identity publicly as an adventurer for hire, and is well known for his activities.
• Secret ID: Sable maintains a dual identity specifically as B.B. Flemm - the writer of popular children's novels  Sable is very careful to maintain the public identity of the writer, purely for financial reasons (It was imagined that Sable's persona would tank sales).

As you might tell, Jon Sable was perhaps one of my favorite comics in the 1980s and possibly one of the better books out of a period of time of better comics. Sable had a short-lived TV series in 1988 and has long been the subjects of possible adaptions.

P: Rm (30)

Health: 90
Karma: 70
Resources: Ex (20)
Popularity: 50

Talents:
Harry Houdini possessed many skills both for his craft and in a variety of related fields:
Martial Arts A, E
Performer
Multi-Lingual
Knowledge: Figures of the era
World Traveler – Houdini has been in more quarters of the world and gains a +1cs to reason on knowing a place, culture, or person of importance.
Escape Artist*
Spiritualism*
Acrobatics
Tumbling
Lock picking
Sleight of Hand
Multi-Lingual
Artist* - Writer
Artist – Movie Star (Silent Movies)
Pilot


Powers:
Although Harry Houdini had no real powers, he did display a lot of abilities, skills and attributes which could be considered superhuman. Houdini’s strength and endurance had always been remarked to be far greater than people of his age and build, and his ability to escape from locks and traps bordered on the supernatural. Houdini displayed the following pseudo-powers:

• High Pain Threshold: Houdini possessed a high pain threshold that allowed him to continue operating as if he was unaffected by situations and damage, similar in scope to Iron Will. Houdini was able to allow himself to be buried alive in a full grave and dug his way out, be subjected to near freezing waters with little damage, hold his breath while restrained for upwards of 3 ½ minutes, and even perform a full show after rupturing his appendix after several punches in his stomach. Houdini’s pain threshold allowed him to roll a FEAT vs. Ex (20) ability to simply ignore the immediate damage effects. Houdini still took the damage, but he was able to ignore its effects.
• Ultimate Skill: Escape Artist: Houdini is considered by many to be the greatest escape artist that the world has ever seen. Houdini’s mastery of locks was the thing of legend, including being supposedly able to pick every pair of handcuffs in service within current Law Enforcement. Houdini’s ability to escape from both elaborate tricks that he or others had designed still has a degree of unreliability to it. If presented with a situation in which Houdini is handcuffed, restrained, and/or entrapped, Houdini rolls against Amazing (50) rank for such FEATs.
• Eye for Detail: Houdini’s ability to spot detail was very impressive, allowing him to often use such in disproving mediums and spiritualists. Houdini could substitute his Intuition attribute for a reason check if presented with such situations.
• Cheating Death: Houdini escaped several real situations (such as two plane crashes) with few injuries, both through his conditioning and ability but also through just plain luck. When Houdini is in situations that would cause him to be faced with a roll vs. Death effects, Houdini can spend Karma after the roll without declaring he would do so ahead of time.
• The first mega-celebrity: Harry Houdini’s rise to fame as an entertainer had never fully be seen before, and as such, it allowed access to higher levels of society as well as other benefits. As Houdini often toured world-wide, the press and media of the day would follow every move and would report facts of the smallest sort, adding to the size of crowds at Houdini’s events. As a side-effect, Houdini could form temporary karma pools with the attendees at such stunts which Houdini could spend to add to his escapes or make important FEAT rolls.

Contacts:
Harry Houdini had countless contacts in all levels of society and occupations, including famous figures, authors, and world leaders. Houdini maintained a great deal of correspondence to figures both within the magic community, the burgeoning aeronautic community, and the early days of Hollywood to name just a few contacts.

Limitations:
Houdini had several limitations which became more pronounced as he grew in fame:

• Public Persona: Houdini often fanned the flames of his own popularity, and would go to great lengths to maintain his own presence on the scene. As such, Houdini’s crafted persona makes it difficult to escape from – Houdini once could not leave his home and simply travel across the city without being accosted and recognized as Harry Houdini.
• Disbeliever: Especially after the death of his beloved mother, Houdini began to despise spiritualism and made it a crusade to disprove spiritualists of the day, taking great steps to discredit such as charlatans and cheats. Houdini would not waiver in his pursuit of frauds, which later evolved into spiritualism as a whole and cost him long-time friendships (like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle).
• Obsession: Houdini was obsessed in capturing greater and greater tricks, working often up to twenty (20) hours a day to perfect such and guarding such tricks with zeal (and occasionally lawsuits).

• Longevity/Immortal: Due to the actions of both by the Cigarette-Smoking Man and Alfred Fellig, Scully may have inadvertently gained a type of immortality or prolonged life. Although this was not confirmed, it is worth bringing up as others in the series have (including Clyde Bruckman who was able to see how a person dies and later members of the conspiracy). It's a theory, but it does have a great deal of suggestive evidence.
• A skeptical Voice: Early on, Scully was the skeptic to Mulder's believer, often trying to find logical solutions to the cases in which they worked. When presented with a case that has some evidence in the scientific, Scully gains a +1cs to reason and intuition checks in order to provide logical solutions to issues.

A: Rm (30)
S: In (40)
E: Am (50)
R: Gd (10)
I: Rm (30)
P: Mn (75)

Health: 150
Karma: 115
Popularity: - 5 (As an eerie avenger), - 10 (To occultists) - 30 (To the cultists of Kalumai)
Resources: Depending on the version depends on the resources. Normally not applicable in the Earth dimension (See below)

Talents:
The Scarecrow is a spirit of vengeance and fear, and has displayed the following talents:

• Mystic Origin*
• Psi-Screen*
• Unarmed Combat
• Acrobatics
• Tumbling
• Knowledge: Demonology
• Knowledge: Mystical Cults

Powers:
Spirit of Vengeance: The Scarecrow is clearly of vengeance, tied to the mortal world through a large painting of itself. Roused when the blood of innocent is shed against the painting, the Scarecrow animates a lifeless body made of straw and sand to act as a proxy or avatar. The spirit itself is immortal and incapable of being destroyed through normal means, and possesses the following abilities while in its avatar form:

• Unliving Body: The Scarecrow's avatar is essentially unliving matter - pr (4) material strength to be specific. The Scarecrow is immune to toxins, disease, poisons, sleep or unconscious effects (such as stun), and simply ignores damage effects done to it, unless by fire. The Scarecrow's health can still be reduced to 0, at which point the body collapses and the Scarecrow is sent back to its own dimension for some time. The Scarecrow is essentially immortal: It cannot lose Endurance ranks or suffer from vampiric effects that would drain Endurance ranks as its avatar is only a link to the material world, which can be remade/rebuilt after a period of 24 hours (usually).
• A being of Fear: The Scarecrow can cause Am (50) fear by laughing, and can freeze individuals in place by locking eyes with them (which forces an opposed Psyche FEAT). The Scarecrow actually thrives of fear, which allows it to raise its FASE when it generates significant fear in a target or targets. For every five (5) targets affected, the Scarecrow gains a +1cs to its Fighting and Agility (Maximum Mn (75)). The Scarecrow can also enhanced or cancel fear effects simply through an act of will if generated by someone else.
• Plant Control: The Scarecrow seems to have complete control over vegetation, granting it Am (50) plant control, growth, and shrinking. The Scarecrow can twist normal vegetation into horrific shapes (Trees growing gigantic thorns and the like).
• Telepathy: The Scarecrow doesn't speak (in its first few incarnations) but seems to completely understand and anticipate the actions of those around it 'as if it can read our minds'. For the purposes of this write-up, it is suggested that the Scarecrow has Rm (30) telepathy.
• Weather Control: The Scarecrow can control local weather patterns with Rm (30) ability, most favorably creating storms and large fog banks in which to strike.
• Stealth: The Scarecrow has the unnatural ability to not be detected - completely able to get the drop on experienced individuals suggesting it possesses the stealth power and Rm (30).
• Animal Control: Crows: The Scarecrow has shown it can control crows with Mn (75) ability, allowing it to summon large murders of crows to do its bidding.
• Other abilities: As it is suggested, the Scarecrow is actually a dimensional entity which acts in the world of man. As such, it possesses a far greater range of abilities in its home dimension or when it can manifest them.

Contacts:
The Scarecrow is connected to three humans who currently share custody of its portrait - Brothers Dave and Jess Duncan, associate Harmony Maxwell, The Thing, and Doctor Strange could be called on as allies.

Limitations:

The Scarecrow has shown several key vulnerabilities:

• Fire: Fire quickly destroys the Scarecrow avatar, doing an additional +2cs damage and removing an Endurance rank permanently from the current avatar when burned. Fire is the easiest and most direct method of destroying one of the Scarecrow's avatars.
• Linked to portrait: The Scarecrow is directly linked to the large portrait of itself, artist unknown. The portrait serves as the Scarecrow's conduit between its home dimension and Earth, and it is through the portrait that is is able to draw itself into the world of man. As shown by the team-up with the Thing, the portrait is the sole means the Scarecrow can access our world.
• Avenger: the Scarecrow is a dedicated protector and avenger of the innocent, and will kill to protect and avenge those who have been wronged. The Scarecrow will not hesitate to do this.
• Mute: The Scarecrow is mute (Although yes, later, it can 'speak' telepathically).
• Hideous: The Scarecrow is obviously not human, suffering a -1cs to reaction bonuses.

Powers:
LAST SON OF KRYPTON:
As one of the last survivors of Krypton, Superman’s physiology is far different than that of mortal
man. Due to cellular differences, Superman’s body is like a solar collector, allowing him to absorb
and convert solar energy in a variety of ways. Superman’s powers are as follows:

• True Invulnerability: UN (100) to physical/Energy  Invulnerability: Cl 1000 to Radiation, Terrestrial Disease, Corrosives, Toxins, Heat, Cold
• Hyper Speed: AM (50)
• Hyper Intake/Expulsion: AM (50) Super cool breath
• Heat Vision: UN (100) rank with 10 area range
• True Flight: UN (100) in Atmosphere, Cl 1000 in space
• Solar Regeneration: Superman is capable of regenerating through simple exposure to sunlight
• Hyper Hearing: SHX (150)
• Telescopic Vision: SHX (150)
• Microscopic Vision: SHX (150)
• Penetration Vision: SHX (150)

Contacts:
Superman has a variety of contacts throughout Earth's governments and most superheroes on Earth. In addition, Superman has various contacts throughout the 28 known galaxies and beyond. By the 30th century, Superman has achieved almost mythic status, and has several contacts there as well.


Limitations:

• Kryptonite: Kryptonite causes his body's cells to deteriorate, similar to radiation poisoning in a human being. Exposure to Kryptonite causes Superman to lose all his powers at -1CS per round. He also loses 1 rank of Strength and Endurance (with its loss of Health) per round until death occurs at Shift-0 Endurance. Removal of the Kryptonite enables Superman's body to regain lost ranks at a rate of one per round.
• Magic: Superman also has a vulnerability to magic attacks and the effects of magic. Magical attacks directly effect Superman ignoring any resistances or invulnerability. Further more any magical effect is increased +1CS in rank and duration against Superman.
• Atmospheric Need: Superman needs an Earth like atmosphere to breath in. His Endurance enables him to last for extended period without holding his breath, but in space he will eventually need a space suit. His greater constitution (Endurance) provides little need for sleep, however eventually he will tire and require rest. 
• Solar Dependant: Superman's powers are based on solar radiation from Earth's yellow sun. Should he be deprived of this radiation for an extended period he will loose all his powers.

Powers:
The Power of Isis: Through use of an ancient medallion/talisman, Andrea Thomas can transform herself into the super-powered Isis, by saying the words 'Oh Mighty Isis'. Andrea is immediately transformed into her costumed identity, granting her the following powers:

• Alter Ego: Thomas physically transforms, her stats while not Isis are: F: Pr (4) A: Typ (6) S: Typ (6) E: Gd (10)
• Elemental Control: Isis can command the traditional elements with Am (50) ability, specifically allowing her to transform elements.
• Weather Control: Isis can control the weather with Mn (75) ability, quelling hurricanes within seconds and creating blizzards in the middle of a California summer day.
• Flight: Isis could fly up to Am (50) airspeed, born aloft by zephyr winds
• Super Speed: Isis could move inhumanly fast, with In (40) hyper speed
• Animal Communication: Isis could communicate with any animal with Rm (30) ability, and could usually convince them to heed her words.
• Telepathy: Isis could read thoughts with Rm (30) ability, also able to read intentions and perceive the past.
• Time Control: Isis could freeze or reverse time with In (40) ability and range.
• Telekinesis: Isis had Am (50) telekinesis
• Fire Control: Isis had Rm (30) fire control
• Air Control: Isis had Rm (30) air control
• Water Control: Isis had Rm (30) water control
• Geoforce: Isis had Rm (30) Geoforce
• Incarnation Awareness: Isis was (in the original Secrets of Isis comic) given the ability to perceive her previous incarnations. Isis's awareness was linked to her psyche, requiring a psyche feat to 'look through time'
• Invulnerable: Isis is resistant to conventional damage, aging, disease, toxins, and corrosives, but can be harmed by mental, mystical, and emotional attacks. Isis's invulnerability should be rated about Am (50) as she is shown to resist powerful attacks from both villains (in the comics) and environmental situations (Such as ocean depths in the series).
• Illusion Casting: Isis can create realistic illusions with Rm (30) ability

Rick Mason: Fellow teacher and potential love interest

Limitations:

• Secret ID: No one knew Andrea Thomas was Isis
• Alter Ego: When not Isis, Andrea was a normal woman suffering the same vulnerabilities as a normal person
• Spoken Word: Isis seemed to always need to say incantations to activate her powers. These incantations would be tied directly to her powers.

Code vs. Killing: Isis would never kill
