Character Birthday
Blackblade, criminal from Classica in the Infinitus dimension. Having heard there might be rich pickings on the famed Bird Island, he went there, and was caught up in a wormhole to Earth created by a nuclear test. He survived in this new dimension in the best way he knew how – by violent robbery. He travelled throughout the UK, raping and pillaging and facing most of the well-known crime fighters of the time. The media dubbed him "The Black Knight". This came to the attention of Professor Power, who persuaded him to join the Power League. Blackblade is supremely confident and believes himself to be the best swordsman in the universe. Hence he believes that anyone else who takes up a sword is challenging him, whether they directly engage in combat with him or not. He appears in Obsidian’s Ark.
Obsidian's Ark
Teenage years bring no end of problems. Daniel Moran's include getting hold of computer games his parents don't think he should have; a full blown crush on the beautiful Suki from Zorostan; maintaining his status as a prefect and getting his homework done. He must also keep from his parents and sister the fact that he is a superhero with a sword from another world.
Trish wonders how to get science whizz Tom to notice her; how to persuade him that the best way to stand up to the school bully is to fight back. She doesn't want her friends, especially not Tom, to know she is a genetic variant with superpowers. Little does she know that Tom has secrets of his own.
Suki struggles to make friends at school when she cannot understand everyday cultural references, and they all suspect her of being a terrorist. She, too, has a secret, but is it what her classmates assume?
When Daniel stumbles upon a plot by an alliance of supervillains to plunge the world into war, he tries to alert the established superheroes, but none of them believe him. When the Prime Minister's only daughter, Yasmin Miller, is abducted, Daniel knows the villains' plan is underway. It seems humanity's only hope may be Daniel and the ragtag bunch of teenage superheroes he recruits. Can he pull together, not only his own team, but the older heroes as well, in a bid to save the Earth from a devastating war?
