Ukulele Ike : Uke Ike travels the land, a misnomer. For his weapon of choice is not a ukulele, but in fact, an alpenhorn. Yes, the Alpenhorn of JUSTICE. With a firm grasp of the mundane, as well as a smattering of the esoteric, he has the ability to leave foes wondering if they should laugh or go back to school.

**Manservant Hecubus** : strange visitor from another dimension, possessed of the racial ability to wear lots of tight leather without chafing. With his enthusiastic circus orphan sidekick, Petey, he fights a losing battle against the tides of Darkness.

Can he recover the Ball Gag of Justice before Dominatrix Bambegesti takes full control of the Leather Council and exiles his family to the Forbidden Zone?

All flee from the mighty Slortar!

There is no stopping the Mighty Slortar!

Half Dinosaur Half Alien and not very nice to bad guys.  
Slortar will cover evil doers in tar which spews hot from his nostrils. (and he’s go big pointy teeth!)

Mighty Slortar ask for it by name!

On the plains of the Serengetti, Zebra was merely waiting prey for the carnivores roaming the savannah. But after the forced relocation to the New York Zoo and the radiation incident Zebra is now Zebra, Evil’s Stripey Skinned Foe! With his incredible camoflauge ability, Zera, Evil’s Stripey Skinned Foe! waits hidden in front of white picket fences at night for crime to occur then leaps out to trample them severly. No criminal is safe from Zebra, Evil’s Stripey Skinned Foe!

**Verrain** , the Truthteller.

Sent to us by an advanced alien race, **Verrain** always tells the absolute truth…and sends secret reports on our society back to his motherland.

To date he has made 12 evil-doers cry, and has forced 6 more to look deep into their souls, causing their eventual repentance.

Gravity - has the power to do, um, something or other with gravity. Oh wait, I know. Let’s us always realize the gravity of the situation against the supervillians before we head into battle.

Still not quite right.

Oh, what the hell. Is able to control gravity so that supevillians are crushed, able to fly, and terd always falls quickly with little resistance or smooshiness.

In her fortress of solitude deep beneath Lake Michigan, **jarbabyj** contemplates her fate: to be the Champion of the Windy City!

With nothing but formaldehyde to aid her, she bottles two-headed pigs, one-eyed goats, and other misbegotten freaks of nature for the educational titillation of every man, woman and child! But wait… her talents don’t stop there!

Who puts thugs in a pickle? jarbabyj!  
Who puts a lid on crime? jarbabyj!  
Who tells creepy men on the El to “can it,” and sees it through? jarbabyj!

Yes, the citizens of Chicago can breathe a little easier, because they have jarbabyj to preserve them.

**Wolverine** possessed of uncharted regenerative capabilities and an adamanti…What? Not that Wolverine? All right.

**Wolverine** , capable of spewing an incredibly noxious and somewhat corrosive musk from somewhere in his nether regions, is the bane of wrongdoers everywhere (except maybe the ones with no sense of smell–and for them, there’s always the teeth).

**Jonathan Chance** –this one is gonna be tough. Hope it works.

Having spent almost his entire life watching TV, this mild-mannered gardener by day becomes Jonathan Chance by night, fighting crime by applying the methods of the world’s greatest TV detectives. Evildoers quake at the sound of his name, knowing full well that once caught in the infra-red beam of his remote, they will be brought to justice.

The action of Mannix, the mind of Harry-O, and the trenchcoat of Columbo; they and others all come together in the TV-directed crimefighting gardener… **Jonathan Chance!**
