Character sheet for Freedom Force, because a game so Troperrific really should get one of these. Still under construction.


The Freedom Force

The Minuteman

An aging Nuclear physicist who helped create the Atom Bomb. He gets shot when he observes another scientist selling secrets to the Obviously Evil Sukhov. In his dying moments he touches an Energy X infused statue and is revived as...THE MINUTEMAN!

Mentor

A former advisor to Lord Dominion. However, when he learned of his master's plan for Earth, he fled with Energy X in order to gift it to the best of humanity so they may stand up to the Domain. He then takes it upon himself to guide Earth's heroes as...MENTOR!

El Diablo

A former petty criminal that was nearly killed in neighbourhood gang warfare. When he gains his power, he learns the true scope and beauty of the world and reforms as the fiery and passionate...EL DIABLO!

  • Badass Spaniard
  • Badass Mustache
  • Flight
  • Foreshadowing: Tombstone claims that he will one day marry the Sea Urchin. Mind you, at he time he said it El Diablo had been erased from time, and his memory was possibly as muddled as everyone else's.
  • Glass Cannon: Can't take much but his higher tier moves can decimate anything that doesn't resist fire.
  • Gratuitous Spanish
  • Latin Lover
  • Magikarp Power: In the first game, he only has his basic attacks none of which are upgraded and to top it off he has an elemental weakness to the enemies he's introduced too. But level him up and he becomes one of the best damage dealers in the game. In the sequel, he's nearly indispensable for the first half of the game.
  • Personality Powers: Take a guess.
  • Playing with Fire
  • Ret-Gone: Entropy erases him from time shortly into the third act of the second game.
  • The Lancer

Alchemiss

The prettiest girl on campus, she was disdainful of her roommate's Wiccan beliefs. But one night, her roommate's mysterious statue talks to her and gives her great powers, and instructs her to fight evil as...THE ALCHEMISS!

Man-Bot

Millionaire Playboy who is struck with Energy X. He goes to his scientist brother for help when he begins to create Energy X uncontrollably, but then refuses the Powered Armor he is offered. Another blast of energy then kills his brother and destroys his lab. In penance for this, he dons the armour and becomes...THE MAN-BOT!

The Ant

Bullied high school nerd who loves ants. One day, he's infused with the powers of the ants and then prevents his bullies from committing a far more serious crime. From then on he's dedicated to fighting crime as...THE ANT!

Liberty Lad

The young president of Minuteman's fan club is injured by Pinstripe while watching Freedom Force in action. A blood transfusion from his idol saves him in time, and so he decides to don a costume and aid his saviours as...LIBERTY LAD!

Microwave

A deadly human hunting machine from the future possibly sent back to destroy Earth's mightiest protectors, Freedom Force themselves! Once neutralised, Mentor is able to realign the robotic rapscallion to the greater good as...MICROWAVE!

Bullet

Tombstone

Nathan Graves is a devoted husband, framed for his wife's murder by his slimy next door neighbour. Energy X strikes him at the moment of his execution. Nathan Graves dies, but in his place rises...TOMBSTONE!

  • Anti-Hero: Probably a Type III since he's not that bad for a Nineties Anti-Hero and seems more focused on people who evaded justice than just killing every bad guy that he finds (this makes sense since the Freedom Force probably wouldn't allow him around if he were a Sociopathic Hero.)
  • Anti-Heroes Sound Deep
  • Awesome but Practical: Possession.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: He is called Tombstone but he is a good guy.
  • Darker and Edgier: Still Played for Laughs, but the guy possesses and kills people, attacks them with electricity from his own execution and causes animals to wither and die by his mere presence.
  • Demonic Possession: An inverted heroic example Tombstone can possess enemies.
  • Energy Being: Basically an energy x-induced ghost.
  • Ghostly Chill: Tombstone's basic punches deal cold damage.
  • Guns Akimbo
  • In a Single Bound
  • Lightning Bruiser: Tombstone has good stats across the board: The only thing that really stands out is his 7/10 endurance (granting him a massive 220 HP). His powers run the gamut from some decent and quickly unlocked attacks to some useful utility spells, like his possession spell, a few (mostly redundant) defensive powers, and a late-game teleport spell. His only real 'weakness' is his energy X vulnerability, which many late-game foes use.
  • Nineties Anti-Hero: As a clash from the Silver Age of everyone else. The game still manages to play it for laughs.
  • Power Nullifier: His "Power Devour" ability.
  • Shock and Awe: His pistols shoot electricity from his execution.
  • That Man Is Dead: "Run, fools, and tell the wicked that their lies shall be brought into the light. For where Nathan Graves once stood... only Tombstone remains!"
  • The Faceless: Never takes his execution hood off. It appears to have become his face.
  • The Lancer: Never really interacts with Freedom Force's more idealistic members but his attitude is very much this when compared to Minuteman's.
  • White Mask of Doom: Actually his execution hood.
  • Voice of the Legion: Mild example.

Tricolour

An Olympic fencer whose skill caught the attention of the odorous Blitzkrieg. He brainwashed her into being an agent of Nazi Germany, but when the sight of the French flag restores his self control and her patriotism she seeks to atone for her acts as...TRICOLOUR!

  • Badass Normal: She's just an "ordinary" fencer.
    • That can deflect bullets with a sabre, taken dozens of hits and go toe to toe with a giant enraged Gorilla with a whip.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: She was put under mind control by Blitzkrieg and forced to do his bidding, but fortunately her strong patriotism allowed her to break free of Blitzkrieg's manipulation.
  • Captain Geographic: She is very French.
  • Catch and Return: She not only deflects bullets; she can bounce them back!
  • Charles Atlas Superpower: Being a Olympic gold-medalist in fencing gives her speed and agility that can rival individuals with Energy X powers, and her masterful swordsmanship allows her to cut through almost anything with her fencing sword as well as to reflect projectiles back at the assailants, including bullets.
  • Everyone Looks Sexier If French
  • Glass Cannon
  • Implausible Fencing Powers

Sky King

A movie star who wanted to help fight the good fight. When his modifications to his suit paid off as he apprehended a German spy, he decided to go to Europe, to make known the legend of...THE SKY KING!

  • Ascended Fanboy: Sky King was a movie star who wanted to be a a real hero.
  • Badass Normal: He's a normal man in a suit. In fact, he's probably more normal than the other 40's heroes.
    • Except for the wrist mounted chainguns and the rocket pack with super-sonic capabilities.
  • Death From Above
  • Reverse the Polarity: Invoked by Bullet to get Sky King's rocket pack working for real.
  • Powered Armor

Pinstripe

A mafia boss made all the more daunting by Energy X. He rules the criminals of Patriot City as...PINSTRIPE!

  • Cigar Chomper
  • The Don
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Go ahead tell me with a straight face he's not Al Capone with purple skin.
  • Stone Wall: Rarely will he ever kill anything but his passive allows him to negate damage from the most common attacks in the game which causes him to be damn hard to take down with your low level heroes.
  • That One Boss: The first time you fight him you are timed to do damage to him which is a lot harder than it seems. Though he's a piece of cake when you aren't timed.

  • Game Breaker: Since he's so easy to beat and has a predictable AI pattern you can farm his clones for near infinite prestige.
  • Glass Cannon: Subverted in that he isn't that strong despite his radiation gun but he literally has glass bones.
  • Me's a Crowd
  • Rhymes on a Dime.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Deja Vu has the incredibly unfortunate weakness to crushing attacks which is the most common type of attack from your heroes, a couple of jabs to the face and he shatters like glass.
