The Liberty Squadron

The Liberty Squadron was the superhero team, and the opportunity to rub elbows with them didn't happen every day! I imagined myself fighting alongside the likes of Promethean, Arcturus, or Tinsel and felt myself getting excited. Now that's what I had in mind when I became a hero!

Overview

Based in the heart of Faraday City, the Liberty Squadron is one of the most powerful supergroups in the modern world, and is frequently called upon to address any number of global threats that arise, ranging from supervillain attacks to alien or extradimensional invasions. The team was formed over 30 years ago, and are very highly regarded and frequently in the public eye, courtesy of their significant Public Relations team. Their base of operations boasts some of the most sophisticated equipment known to exist.

Off the record, there have been a number of allegations against their members of a less than savory nature, though most people dismiss these as an attempt to smear the reputations of these mighty heroes who have saved Faraday City and indeed the world countless times. However, people have started to notice that the team is becoming more discriminating in what emergencies they address, leading many to suspect that the team feels that many threats are beneath their notice. However, the team denies this, and claims they are merely being judicious in how they use their limited time and resources.

	FULL MEMBERS
Promethean	Leader of the Liberty Squadron. He has been a member since the team was founded over 30 years ago. See: Promethean	IC IC:Baby (mentioned) Char (mentioned)
Arcturus	Implied to be a "dark defender of the night" style hero, one who apparently has a connection to the Revenants gang in his backstory. Prodigy has a beef with Arcturus, claiming that Arcturus "wants to save the world, but only if he's the one who gets to do it." Prodigy also has a standing rule stating that, "Arcturus is such a tremendous asshole that it is grammatically incorrect to refer to him without using the word 'asshole' at least twice in the same sentence." At the end of Identity Crisis, Quasarblaze notes that he is now Arcturus's sidekick. (It's unclear if QB's friend Triggerhappy is, as well.) Prodigy noted that there is some connection between Arcturus and the Revenants. While looking at the dossiers collected by Chase, Xenos deduced that Arcturus is in fact two men, Parker Wise and Shepherd Cochran, who unbeknownst to the public are likely brothers, perhaps even fraternal twins. He noted that they'd had surgery to downplay their resemblance, and surmised that they must have been planning this for a very long time. How much of this is true is uncertain, as is what if anything this relates to Arcturus's connection to the Revenants. Show spoiler Assuming Xenos is correct, it seems that Prodigy is aware of the two men's shared identity. In light of this new information, his "asshole, asshole" standing rule when referring to Arcturus makes it likely that he's saying "asshole, asshole," to indicate both men. Equipment: Drives The Astromobile.	IC (mentioned) IC:Baby (mentioned) Char (mentioned)
Ephemeral	Mentioned in passing as having been involved with the fight against the Attraxi Genie, who swapped the teams' heads on their bodies. Promethean and Ephemeral swapped heads. A stripper at Unmasked dresses (or dressed) as Ephemeral.	IC (mentioned) Char (mentioned)
Tinsel	Suggested that she is "a walking billboard for herself, selling technology to the highest bidder." Sells a line of overpriced high-end makeup products for impressionable girls trying to emulate a celebrity superhero. Also famous for her choco-nut brownies. :) HeroBurger Menu Item: Tinsel Tots	IC IC:Baby (mentioned) Char (mentioned)
	ASSOCIATE MEMBERS In addition to the full members, the Liberty Squadron boasts a number of associate members. These members may serve in a adjunct capacity, or because of a close connection to one of the members.
Kid Promethean	Sidekick of Promethean.	IC (mentioned)
Marty Maddox	Marty was a "kid sidekick" to the team in his youth. Although no longer actively adventuring, he still occasionally advises and supports the team from time to time. See: Prodigy	IC IC:Baby Char (mentioned, as Marty)
OverC/R	The AI who helps to run the Liberty Squadron's base, including its defenses. Generally appears as a smartly dressed businesswoman.	IC (cameo)
Prodigy	Although formerly a full member, Prodigy's occasionally extralegal methods became an awkward embarrassment to the team, and he broke off contact. Unofficially, he still works with the Liberty Squadron from time to time, usually when it suits him. See: Prodigy	IC IC:Baby Char (mentioned, as Marty)
Promethea	A female clone of Promethean created by Doctor Malevolence who tried to use her against the hero until she broke free of his control. She's not quite as powerful as Promethean, but has all of his powers, including strength, invulnerability, flight, and laser vision. Although she's considered to be part of the "Promethean Family" of heroes, Promethean apparently has some aversion to clones, so it's unlikely she would be a full member of the team. Instead, she's likely afforded the same consideration as his sidekicks as an associate member.	IC (mentioned)
PrometheLad	Sidekick of Promethean.	IC (mentioned)
Quasarblaze	Sidekick of Arcturus. See: Quasarblaze	IC
Triggerhappy	Sidekick of Arcturus. (Unconfirmed, but possible given his close connection to Quasarblaze.) See: Triggerhappy	IC
