        Since it's been a while (over three months, not counting a cameo
in the Symphony) since I've posted anything, I though I'd post this short
guide to the Hero Patrol and who these guys and gals are.  You'll find it
fun, entertaining, stimulating, educational, and intellectual.
        Well, maybe not intellectual.
        And now, without further ado...

               THE HERO PATROL SYNOPSIS AND CHARACTER GUIDE

        The Hero Patrol is a relatively new (compared to, say, CalForce)
superteam operating in the southern New Hampshire area.  Besides the Ad-
justed League Unimpeachable and the Defense Squad New England, they are cur-
rently the only active superteam in New England.  In their first mission
together (actually, it's what brought them together), they thwarted the
plans of Acronymic Atrocities, Inc. to assassinate the mayors of New Hamp-
shire at a ball being held in Manchester.  The five members of the team are:

        Jon Perceptor: Jonathan Pierce, team leader.  Jon possesses super-
            human vision (telescopic, x-ray, thermal, high-resolution, etc.)
            and hearing (telescopic, high-pitched, minute, etc.).  He can
            'hear' radio signals -- his ears act as a multi-band radio, though
            he doesn't know why.
        Misfit: Sean McAllister.  Thanks to a bizarre accident, Sean posses-
            ses Misfits of Science powers -- any power used on the TV show
            of the same name.  So far, he has demonstrated electrical blasts,
            super-speed, telekinesis, and the ability to shrink to a height
            of seven inches tall.  He can only use one power 'set' at a time,
            tho, and has most of the limitations the characters on the show
            had.  He feels highly uncomfortable about his powers, save for
            the super-speed, which he revels in.
        Earth Girl: Rebecca Daylin.  The daughter of Denis Daylin, a semi-
            prominent environmentalist-philanthropist, Rebecca was born with
            the power to control the natural elements -- earth, air, fire, and
            water.  Ever since discovering her powers, she knew she was des-
            tined to be a super-hero, albeit one who fights for the earth.
            Had she not met Misfit and Soundbyte, she would have probably
            applied for memberships in one of the other superteams around.
        Soundbyte: Robert Jones.  Probably the weakest power-wise, Rob can
            generate and control sound.  Usually, this comes not as sonic
            blasts, like T of the Awesome Force, but as bodiless voices and
            sound effects.  Rob is light-hearted and witty; think Rick Jones
            in a good mood.
        Starwave: Amy Myerdon.  After being caught at ground zero when an
            Interdimensional Energy Cannon (tm) exploded, Amy was given ener-
            gy powers -- powers which even *I'm* trying to figure out.

        No supporting cast members have been introduced yet, but that will
change.  As will the roster...
        Coming tomorrow...
