He wanted that attention and fame, and for months tried to get in, doing anything they required. Finally gaining membership, Tony now fights crimes and evil alongside true heroes, whose good intentions are starting to wear off onto the hot-headed youngster.

Despite an injured leg, Tony tries to go fight Volt when he next appears, but finally listens to Francis’ wisdom and stays at the mansion. However he goes to aid Steve and Natalie when they send out a distress signal during their battle.

            During the outbreak of Fang, Tony showed a greater care in his superhero work and the other team members. He tirelessly helped defeat the powered-up thugs, and when Natalie was critically injured he showed much sympathy, even more than Marian. He also felt himself torn between his feelings for Marian and being single. Tony and Marian teamed up to take out Snake Eyes, and during the battle Tony had to defeat gang members without his powers. He managed to break Snake Eyes’ control over Marian, and the two defeated the gang leader.

            After the Fang incident, Marian questions Tony about his feelings for her. He hesitates despite wanting to be with her and she leaves.

            When Steve and Natalie leave for a vacation, Tony is upset that Francis is put in charge. After easily apprehending Sewage, Tony meets Matt, aka Echo. Tony brings both Matt and Sewage back to the mansion, but after hearing Matt out they find Sewage has escaped. The next day they find Sewage has taken over a waste disposal plant, and Tony, Marian, and Matt go in alone to defeat him. Afterwards, Tony and Marian stand behind their decision to trust Matt when Steve questions them.

            While Steve is away in West City, a giant robot attacks Hopling. Tony helps Natalie and Marian defeat the robot and almost captures Snake Eyes before he gets away.

            After the Metalock prison break, Tony helps the GMA capture the escaped convicts. When the super villain group attacks Hopling, Tony is right in the fray. Making a split second decision, Tony stops Land Slide’s destructive reign by breaking his neck. In retalitation, the Obliterator shoots Tony.

            Tony survives the shooting, and while in the hospital is visited by Cure who came to help heal his mind and body.

            After being healed by Cure, Steve lets Tony go on leave to recover. Tony is hanging out on a deserted beach when he’s approached by Eternal. In the ensuing conversation, Eternal offers Tony a job as a GMA field agent, and leaves to let Tony think it over and decide.

            Tony returns to Frontier, still debating whether or not to accept Eternal’s offer. After seeing the depressing state of the mansion and the team’s attitude, Tony calls to set up a meeting with Eternal. Before that meeting, Tony encounters the metahuman serial killer called Reaper and is nearly killed by her.

History: Da Cook invited Clawman to attend his show as a special guest and had the superhero drugged on arrival. Da Cook intended to cut off, cook, and eat Clawman’s lobster claw since he believes it is a source of mutagens that will give him superhuman abilities.

The GMA was quick to bring him under their wing, and his mind helped establish the Research and Development side of the agency. He maintains his post as the GMA’s foremost scientist despite his years.

First Appearance: Super #2

Current Status: Inactive member of Frontier

Bio: Matt is burdened with a heavy past. His father, Burnout, was a metahuman hero in the aftermath of the Illumination, and when Matt’s powers first manifested, he wanted nothing more than to be a hero like his father. However a terrible incident occurred, leaving Matt carrying a heavy regret on his shoulders, and convincing him he wasn’t ready to be a hero. Now that years have passed and he has matured, not to mention extensively trained with his powers, Matt is slowly coming into the metahuman world, and showing the immense strength of someone who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders.

History: Matt was watching the yearly parade in Hopling when a small group starting attacking the bystanders. Against his better judgment, Matt jumped into the fray and subdued the attackers before flying off, avoiding the authorities due to him not being a licensed superhero.

            A few months later, the college Matt attends is endangered by an unstable metahuman. Once again going against his better judgment, Matt flies in to save the campus. He comes against Arthur, another metahuman who is trying to save the campus as well but in doing so almost destroys it. Matt saves the day, and befriends Arthur.

            After that, Matt is shown at his college campus after it was attacked by a powerful metahuman, and Matt vows to subdue this new threat.

            Months later, Matt tracks Sewage to Hopling, where he meets Tony after the superhero easily subdues Sewage. Matt returns to the Frontier mansion with Tony, where he explains his history with Sewage. Afterwards they find Sewage has escaped, and the next day Matt, Tony, and Marian assault Sewage’s newly built fortress. Matt defeats Sewage easily, despite Sewage’s immense power, due to Sewage’s lack of control over all his new power. Matt leaves after saving Marian’s life.

            After the Metalock prison break, Matt approaches Frontier for help against Sombra. While fighting Land Slide, Matt saves Natalie from a bullet. During the large battle, Matt fights and defeats Sewage, followed by an energy-based fight against Sombra. He defeated her, but Jasmine was lost in the process.

            After the big battle for Hopling city, Matt becomes a member of Frontier, despite still not being registered. During this time, he searches every night for Jasmine’s energy signal, but finds nothing. It is after one of these failed attempts that he and Marian spend a night together, and from that point start to grow closer.

            When two meta celebrities go missing, Matt and Marian are sent to find them. They continue growing closer on the trip, and Matt is even considering becoming licensed. However after finding out the kidnapping was all a hoax and the celebrities recorded Matt and Marian’s private time together on the plane, Matt is enraged and beats the celebrities bloody. However Josh Matters forces Matt to quit Frontier or else he’d released the sex tape to the public. On the flight home, Matt breaks things off with Marian and quits Frontier.

            When Alex calls Matt for help, he goes to the Eagle and finds out the scientists there have captured some shadow energy. Matt convinces them to release the shadow energy and he follows it to find Sombra. When he does, the two have a cataclysmic fight, resulting in Sombra tearing open a hole into a dimension filled with shadow energy. In order to close that portal and save his world, Matt pushed Sombra into the portal and absorbs enough shadow energy to close it.

            However absorbing that much shadow energy starting corrupting Matt, and when Frontier needed his help to find the metahuman serial killer, Matt aided them, but was very cold and unattached. After Frontier left, Matt returned to the mansion, very confused. Francis tried talking to him, and Matt learned of the killer’s ability to absorb energy. Matt left and confronted the killer, saving Frontier, the killer, and himself in the process. Afterwards, Matt felt compelled to help the young woman, and offered to become a licensed metahuman in order to train her. Eternal reluctantly agreed, and Matt finally became a licensed superhero.

            After training Laura for a month, Matt introduced her to Arthur. Matt needed Arthur to watch Laura while he went away on a covert mission, but the two refused to cooperate and Matt was forced to bring them with. Down in the Caribbean they met up with Scanner, one of Matt’s informants and secret partners. Her brother Arach had been missing after trying to recover a video for Matt. The four of them went to an empty house to look for clues and Matt left to search the jungle where he knew Josh Matters and Melissa Molecule had an underground lair. There he fought Basher, found Arach, and made it out and back to the hotel where the other three were waiting. After returning home, Matt left the flash drive with the only copy of the sex tape on it with Marian, writing a note saying he hoped this is a start to mend things.

Code Name: Electric Eagle

Age (at First Appearance): 36

Height: 6’4”

Description: Short cut black hair, strong facial features, muscular build

First Appearance: Frontier #3

Current Status: Inactive member of Frontier & Active presidential figure on board the Eagle

Bio: Growing up in the early years of the Illumination, Alexander wanted desperately to be a superhero. However his parents pushed for him to continue his education throughout the turbulent years. When his powers manifested, he ran away from home and went from town to town, using his powers for any good deed he could. Eventually he adopted the name Electric Eagle, and a few months later was picked up by Frontier. Thinking this was his purpose in life, Alexander threw himself into it, but after a couple of years found the superhero life wasn’t for him. He didn’t like being a powered up police officer, which is what being on Frontier reminded him. Instead he became distant, and after a little while went to work designing and building a perfect city. Hence the Eagle was created, and ever since Alexander has lived and governed on the Eagle, rarely coming down from his perch.

History: Alexander Jackson is seen before he is introduced, as he is Marian’s guide to the Eagle when she arrives there for help against the super villain Volt. Upon introduction, he shows Marian his regal attitude, giving her dinner and treating her as family before getting down to business. Although initially not wanting to help, after Marian receives the distress signal Alexander decides to help Frontier. He and Marian teleport to the battle and he defeats Volt. He then reminds Steve he is still a member of Frontier and can help if needed.

            After the incident with the enhancement drug called Fang, Marian flies to the Eagle. Alex welcomes her with open arms, and after she asks Alex agrees to train her for a time.

            Alex is called down to help Frontier against the group of super villains, and he brings a squadron of Eagle Men with him. He fights Volt to a standstill, and saves Marian by seemingly killing Sentinel. During the fight between Matt and Sombra, Alex is astonished by their power.

            Returning to the Eagle after the battle for Hopling city, Alex holds a funeral procession for his fallen Eagle Men. Afterwards, his son Damien comes to talk to him, and Alex promises to focus solely on the Eagle from now on.

            After discussing the research on Shadow Energy with Dr. Muahitl, Alex is worried about his secret on how the Eagle flies. A few days later, the Eagle is attacked by a group of villains led by Volt. While Alex is dealing with Augmento, Volt and Mind Queen discover the truth of how the Eagle flies, and torment Alex with the hope that his wife, Valerie, is still able to be saved. The Volt and Mind Queen escape, leaving Alex to question what he’s been doing.

            After worrying about his wife for weeks, Alex consulted John, who helped talk him through it. When the scientists called about the shadow energy, Alex called Matt for his opinion, and agreed to let the shadow energy go so Matt could handle it.

            When the Eagle fell, Alex checked out Valerie but didn’t find anything unusual. As he tried to lie to the scientists, he had to resort to deflection and rushing out. Later when the Eagle truly started falling, Alex and John rushed to the main generator room and found Damien had discovered his mother and done something. Alex restored Valerie’s powers just in time, and after meeting with the press rushed to the research lab to discover Abyss. After a short fight, Abyss fled, and Alex chased him after being told by another scientist that they had finally built working anti-gravity engines. It took Damien’s newfound powers to defeat Abyss, despite strong effects from Alex and John.

            The next morning, Alex found Valerie sitting in his office. He broke down, and spent the next few hours explaining everything to her. Both were just happy to be alive and well, and reconciled after being apart for ten years.

            While Tony is recovering on leave, Ken pays him a visit and during the conversation offers Tony a job as a GMA field agent. Ken leaves Tony to decide if he wants it or not.

            After Frontier apprehended the metahuman serial killer, Ken met with Steve and Matt to discuss Matt’s proposal. At first, Ken was completely against letting Matt take the young woman, who Ken thought should be locked up forever. However after hearing Matt’s side to things and a day-long discussion, Ken gave in as long as Matt played by Ken rules. Afterwards, Ken and Steve had a short talk concerning what to do about Dr. Lopnol, and Ken voiced that he was worried what the doctor had in store for the world.

Unable to complete his schooling now due to regulations the military had at the time, Francis turned to the next best thing: being a superhero. However despite his modified technological air suit which granted him some offensive capabilities while soaring through the skies, the GMA would not grant him a license. That changed when he was accepted to join the first line-up of Frontier. Yet after a few missions, Francis found the GMA was right; his powers just weren’t cut out to be used in the field as a superhero. Saddened, he was going to leave Frontier for good, but Steve saw something in him and offered him the job as the team’s organizer.

Bio: Brian grew up in what could be called a family only in the loosest terms. His father was an alcoholic who was never present in his life, and his mother was too busy trying to find her next fix then to care for her son. When his powers first manifested, it was his parents who were Brian’s first accidental victims. For a few years he lived on the run, never staying in one spot, for fear of the GMA finding him and locking him up forever. One day by chance, he saw the metahuman Matt, aka Echo, in action, and approached him afterwards, asking Matt to teach him how to use his powers properly. Matt agreed, but only after a couple short months they stopped talking, since Brian was only interested in gaining more power. During an unexpected attack on Matt’s college, Sewage caused much damage and disappeared without little trace.

History: Sewage is first taken down very easily by Tony, who catches him off guard. After being taken back and locked in one of Frontier’s prison cells, Sewage escapes. He makes his way to a waste disposal plant and takes it over, killing and corrupting the guards, then powering himself up with garbage and waste, turning the plant into a fortress of his own. Sewage fights and is defeated by Matt, and is currently being held in the Metalock.

            While in prison, Brian is approached by Volt, who has a plan to escape. During the riot, the two break out another super villain, the Obliterator, and the trio manage to release the incredibly powerful metahuman Sombra. Because Brian wants revenge on Matt, he is at odds with Sombra, who wants Matt all to herself. Eventually Brian agrees to let her handle Matt. During the battle, Sewage actually does fight Matt, and is defeated by him.

Bio: Little is known about the villain called Snake Eyes. Before he made it big, he was a standard criminal in Hopling, but after getting shipments of the drug Fang and advanced equipment, he started an underground drug ring and gained much in power, money, and respect. It is unclear whether he is a metahuman, or if his powers are derived from doses of Fang.

History: Snake Eyes makes a big entrance by shooting Natalie and critically wounding her in a gunfight. Afterwards, his main hideout is discovered by Tony and Marian, who proceed to storm it. Snake Eyes manages to paralyze Marian and render Tony powerless through a hidden gadget. Tony frees Marian, who destroys the gadget and defeats Snake Eyes in hand-to-hand combat. Snake Eyes escapes however, and was last seen in the sewers consulting with a mysterious man about what to do next.

            Snake Eyes is later seen at the site of a giant robot attack, but before Tony can apprehend him, he vanishes. He goes to his mysterious boss and reports in, thanking him for the better tech.

Height: 5’4”

Description: Jet black hair, olive skin, petite build

First Appearance: Frontier #22

Current Status: Presumed deceased, killed by Matt, aka Echo

Bio: When Jasmine’s powers first manifested, she felt a change come over her whole demeanor. She accepted the shadows, and felt complete with them. Then she met Matt, and felt the same sensation of being whole. Matt helped train her to control her powers, but eventually the darkness within Jasmine proved too strong. Materializing in the shadow energy, the dark persona of Sombra was born. Sombra was defeated by Matt and taken to the Metalock, where she’s been held in a coma ever since.

History: Despite what the machines said, Sombra was not in a coma, and was released by the Obliterator and his fellow villains. However now there was two personas struggling for control: Jasmine, the quiet girl who wanted to reconcile with Matt, and Sombra, the crazed, violent force of nature that wanted to kill Matt. Richard took advantage of the darker persona and subdued Jasmine, allowing Sombra to emerge. After being summoned by Richard, Sombra fought Matt, but his absorption powers proved too powerful for her. Afterwards, Jasmine and Matt had a very brief exchange before Jasmine dissolved into shadow energy.

            Some time later, Matt tracks Sombra down and the two battle. During the fight, it is revealed Sombra doesn’t create the shadow energy, but instead pulls it from another dimension. She rips open a portal to a dimension full of shadow energy, and in order to close the portal, Matt forces Sombra inside of it, banishing her to a realm of shadow energy.

First Appearance: Super #8

Current Status: Active member of Frontier

Bio: Natalie started her superhero career not being a licensed superhero at all. She was a bystander that happened to use her powers for good at the perfect time, catching the eye of Frontier’s team leader Steve. She was interviewed and offered a spot on the team, which she took because she knew she would be able to do a great deal of good for the world on the team, and also because she was smitten with Steve. Over the next three years, Steve and she grew close, and eventually married, cementing her spot as second in command for Frontier.

History: After helping to subdue some runaway criminals, Natalie does the standard police reports and interviews with her husband and fellow team member Steve.

            Natalie is seen doing paperwork with Steve. She is there for him when he is angry with himself for letting Marian go out on her own and getting hurt. When Volt next appears, she accompanies Steve to make sure he doesn’t go too far in his fight with the super villain. Both she and Steve are defeated by Volt, and Natalie sends out a distress signal. The signal is answered by Tony, Marian, and Alexander, and Volt is finally beaten.

            During a routine patrol, Natalie encounters a gang fight that seems to contain metahuman criminals. She takes out the thugs with Marian’s help, and then finds a vial containing an enhancement drug called Fang. The next few days are crazy for Frontier as they try to contain the spread of the drug. After she gets a call from Steve about the main drug warehouse, she is forced to enter it before Steve arrives. During the battle, she is critically injured by the gang leader and is in the hospital recovering for the next week.

            When it is apparent she isn’t recovering well, Steve calls in a metahuman named Cure to heal Natalie. After she is healed, Natalie is happy to be going home with her family.

            Nearly two months go by, and Natalie and Steve leave for a vacation in Claria. While there, they receive a call from Francis about Sewage. They rush home, but Sewage is defeated by the time they get there. Natalie lets Steve scold Tony and Marian, but is impressed when the younger heroes stand behind their decisions.

            While Steve is in West City for business, Natalie and Marian have a nice afternoon in Hopling, only to be interrupted by a giant robot attack. With the help of Tony, they subdue the robot and nearly catch Snake Eyes. Natalie is shaken by the close encounter with Snake Eyes, but Marian assures her they will get him one day.

            During the Metalock prison break, Natalie helps the GMA catch the escaped criminals. When Land Slide attacks, Natalie is saved by Matt from the Obliterator’s bullet. When the super villains attacked the city, Natalie fought Land Slide and helped Steve defeat, but not kill, the Obliterator. While Matt was fighting Sombra, she kept the team safe from the shadows with a force field.

            After the battle against the super villains was won, Natalie put herself in the center of attention to help rebuild not only the city, but also the public opinion of Frontier.

            When two meta celebrities go missing, Natalie sends Marian and Matt to find them while she stays to protect the town and look into a recent string of killings done by a potential metahuman.

            While out during patrol looking for the serial killer, Natalie runs into a girl nearby one of the killings. A crowd forms around Natalie, and she flies to a rooftop. There a homeless person tells her what happened, and Natalie learns the girl she ran into was the killer. After the police fail to find her and the attacks increase, Frontier calls for Matt’s help and he finds her location. Frontier storms the secret lab and are almost killed by the Reaper. Matt saves them, and Natalie is ready to throw the young woman in a cell for life. Matt convinces Steve to let him talk to Ken about an alternative, though Natalie is not happy about it.

Soon afterwards, Valerie’s powers started causing more and more issues and her mental health began to decline. Not a year after Damien’s birth, her powers went haywire and put her in a coma, where she’s been ever since.

History: It is revealed that Alexander uses his abilities to stimulate Valerie’s brain into using her powers to keep the Eagle afloat. Since there’s no brain activity, Valerie is kept alive in the containment tube in the hopes that one day she’ll be saved. It was Valerie’s dream to have a world to escape to, and Alex’s Eagle is that dream come true. However when the villains attacked, there was a slight blip of brain activity, and ever since Alex has renewed hope that one day Valerie will wake up and come back to him.

            After being jolted awake, and consequentially healed, by her son’s newly manifested powers, Valerie goes to talk to Alex. She lets him explain for hours before telling him she’s not angry at all and is so happy to be awake and onboard a flying city, just like she always dreamed.
