HEIGHT: 5' 7" 

WEIGHT: 124 lbs 

EYES: Brown 

HAIR: Blonde 

HISTORY 

Possum Holler was a small community in the Ozarks that counted among its citizens mermen, cavemen with three legs, people with three lungs, people hatched from eggs, centaurs, and many other genetic anomalies. It is believed that all these mutations were the product of something that had fallen from the sky a long, long time ago. In such a strange place, Barbara "Babe" Boone could almost have passed for an ordinary girl, were it not for her impossible levels of strength, endurance and speed. Her physical abilities were so superior, in fact, that she became a celebrity in several sports (baseball, football and boxing), competing (and winning) with male athletes. After an accident that had fatal consequences, she was banned for life as a professional athlete. After overcoming depression she established herself as a bounty hunter. 

Note: During her first stage as a sports star, Barbara had her own comic, in a comedy tone entitled "Babe the Amazon from the Ozarks".

POWERS & WEAPONS 

When Barbara first discovered her powers, she was able to rip out a stump with very little effort. She has enough strength to pick up a car and launch it with no discernible effort. Her body and tissues are much more resistant to physical damage compared to an ordinary human being. Stabs, bullets, even explosions will translate to only superficial wounds and these wounds will heal in record time thanks to her accelerated healing factor, an ability to heal faster and more effectively than the normal rate. Her speed, reflexes and reaction time are on a low superhuman level.

Tom eventually left Lha-I-Ha to track down the demon Ching Kai, who had possessed a monk to steal a sacred scroll with which he planned to bring humanity to its knees. After stopping Ching Kai and returning the scroll to the monastery, Tom decided to come back to America to investigate his roots and what really happened to his parents. There he met Butch Benton, the Indestructible Man, with whom he befriended. Tom and Butch became partners and collaborated with the super team known as the Conquerors. Tom established a lasting romantic relationship with heroine and secret agent Torchy Brown.

Tom has been trained in Gom-Pa, an ancient Tibetan martial art based on focusing his "chi" to perform superhuman feats. He can become incredibly fast and strong, much more than a normal human being. He has shown the ability to teleport great distances in the blink of an eye, telepathy, telekinesis, the ability to cast illusions, the ability to use the power of his chi to make himself immune to damage, or put himself into a state of suspended animation to survive being encased in ice, or placed in an airless vacuum.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Pep Comics #35 (Jan. 1943) 

HEIGHT: 5' 11" 

WEIGHT: 180 lbs 

EYES: Brown 

HAIR: Auburn 

HISTORY 

Paul Lerner was a wealthy industrialist happily married to his loving wife, Lenore. Medical negligence ended Lenore's life and Paul's life and sanity were shattered into a thousand pieces. 

Paul saw his personality split: By day he was the grieving widowed industrialist and by night he was the Raven, a brutal vigilante who first murdered the doctor guilty of his wife's death, then went on to take out criminals on the streets. He was stopped by the second Comet-Man and sent to a mental institution. Far from improving his psychological state, he ended up enrolled in the Clutching Hand. 

It wasn't until he crossed paths with Captain Wizard that he was able to purge his soul and restore his sanity. Since then he started a new life as a hero and a member of the Conquerors. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Paul was in good physical shape, but in his first stage as a vigilante he had not yet received any type of training as a fighter and his effectiveness depended on the strength and brutality that his altered mental state gave him. The Raven's costume gave Paul some protection from gunshots and slashes, even small explosions. The wings of the uniform were designed to allow gliding between buildings.

HISTORY

Doctors Hale and Malinsky were working on a formula to regenerate dead tissue. However, the true intentions of dr. Malinsky were much less altruistic. The good doctor planned to create armies of mindless supermen to the highest bidder. When Dr. Hale realized his partner's true intentions, he berated him, the argument turned into a fight and Malinsky settled the matter by shooting Hale, but the dying scientist injected himself with the formula, transforming into a hulking purple creature that strangled Malinsky to death. Then the creature went for Malinsky's henchmen and killed them all. Calling himself 'Goro', the purple ghoul went on a rampage and was chased by the police. He was eventually captured and sentenced to death but when he was taken to the electric chair he did not die and once again escaped... Since then the creature has lived on the run, seeking solitude (often in cemeteries). 

Somewhere within Goro, Kimball's personality lives on, in fact, Goro acts and speaks to Kimball as if he were a real, flesh-and-blood being, whom the creature addresses as "master". 

POWERS & WEAPONS

The Purple Ghoul possesses inhuman strength, is bulletproof, and is immune to electricity.
