Soon: A point on a timeline that ranges anywhere between "five minutes from now" and "sometime before the Earth becomes a burned-out cinder orbitting a dead sun." |

who was in the powers inc Allow me to explain the roster: Booster Gold/Michael Jon Carter- A hero from the future who came to our time for fame, fortune, and glory, Booster Gold's future-created suit gives him the power to fly, enhanced strength, energy beams, and a protective forcefield. Not the brightest of folks, Booster's dedication to protecting the innocent trancends it. Blue Beetle II/Theodore Edward "Ted" KordA genius, Ted Kord inherited the mantle of the Blue Beetle from his former professor and friend, Dan Garrett. Since he could not use the mystical scarab that empowered Garrett, Kord turned to his incredible mind, creating the BB Gun that only he can use, and the Bug, his flying aircraft. Karen Starr/Power GirlA beautiful powerhouse, Power Girl possesses Superman-level strength, speed, flight, and invulnerability. Emily Briggs/LookerBlessed with telekinesis thanks to a passing comet, Emily Briggs is a talk show host who also aids Powers Inc in their quest to bring evil to justice. Hank Heywood III/SteelLike his grandfather before him, the legendary WWII-era hero Commander Steel, Hank Heywood is a cyborg, possessing great speed, strength, and durability. Harold "Harry" Jordan/Air WaveAir Wave, a relative of Earth's Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, follows in the Jordans' heroic legacy thanks to his super-suit, which allows him to transform into electricity, and travel along radio and TV airwaves. Audrey Spears/PrysmHalf-human and half-alien, Prysm's physiology is very unique, allowing her great photokinetic powers and invisibility. That's most of 'em. AMENDED! The rest of the team! Josiah PowerA former lawyer in a successful law practice, he was forced to quit his job when his metagene emerged, allowing him to assume a rocky form. He decided to use his experience as a lawyer to create his own team of superheroes for hire, although Power does encourage his employees to do pro bono work on occasion. OberonA diminutive adventurer, Oberon in the past worked in a circus. Nowadays, he helps Josiah Power around the office. Carrie Donahue/VaporNo one knows how Carrie Donahue gained the power to transform into living mist, but she serves alongside Powers, Inc as the heroine Vapor. Her mist form can take on properties of acid, anesthesia, or become transparent. Okay, happy now, HouseOfMystery? |

Wait, you want more of this?
Weapons fire fills the air, bombs dropping in the distance, the stench of blood and smoke in the air. A man leans back against a trench, takes out a grenade, bites down on the pin and throws it over the trench, and then turns to a small man, who shakes as bullets fly over their position.
“Don’t you get it, boy?” He picks up the young soldier by the scruff of his neck, his own yellow t-shirt in tatters, rippling biceps on his arms pulsating with power. “We do this not ‘cause we have to, but because it’s out patriotic right as AMERICANS!”
Dick Bragg Jr. nods to himself, caught up in the powerful smell of America. “Deathblast!” He points to an operative with a golden mask adorning his face, guns in both hands. “COVERING FIRE!”
‘Blast complies, shooting blind, relying on his highly tuned senses, as his mask doesn’t allow him to actually see. Dick nods to him, nostrils flared at the odour of battle. “Enchater… Encanta… Witch girl!” He points to the woman wearing tattered green clothes and nods as they make eye contact. “Get the boys outta here…” He salutes the sky, smiling. “…For AMERICA!”
“Colonel Didgeridoo, let’s hear some slick tunes so we can take down these commie bastards!”
A hairy man in a blue uniform picks up a long brown instrument and blows into it, massive shockwaves blasting out of the end, sending enemy troops flying back. He nods to his commander, and then smiles. “G’Day to die, mate!”
Dick smiles in agreement, drops the small soldier and leaps over the trench, guns blaring over his head, him impossibly dodging all the bullets that come his way. He grabs his pistol from the holster attached to his shoulder, and starts firing at the enemy, hitting every man square, until everyone of the attackers is dead, and Dick Bragg stands triumphant. His teammates rush to him, and then he smiles, his white teeth glistening in the newly rising sun.
“You aren’t going to die for your country today, people. Those red bastards never stood a chance!” He holsters his weapon, and the woman in the tattered green uniform embraces him, and they kiss passionately. Dick stands up, holding the beautiful woman in one hand, and with his other hand he holds his holster.
He points to the screen and nods to himself. “If you fight for your country… You’ll always win, and you’ll always get the girl! Hey, Jimmy… Get over here!” He turns to where he dropped the small soldier and then goes pale. “J-Jimmy?” The young private is sprawled across the floor, bullet wounds covering his body. Dicks perfectly squared jaw drops and his face is drained of all its color as he screams…

And this?
The first time they opened this door on the very bottom floor of the team’s headquarters they expected it to be filled with fancy new cars, tanks, planes, maybe even a boat. After all when a team that has four only flying members, mobility is an important aspect of the team’s ability to face threats head on. What they saw was a waxed car from the nineties one step above a pinto with a Powers, Inc. logo vinyl sticker rubbed on.
Booster reaches for the keys to the white Ford Taurus parked sloppily and is met by Harry’s hand. “Are you sure YOU should drive Booster?”
“What are you talking about? Of course I should drive, who else would do it?” Booster asks bewildered by the insolent question coming from his “friend.”
”Well…” Steel says stepping forward raising his fore-finger.
”YOU!?!” He asks laughing at the thought of such a ridiculous question.
“He does have a way with machines.” Harry says shrugging his shoulders.
“You have got to be kidding me!” Booster asks at an utter loss for words, “Is this because of what happened last time I drove?”
“You did hit a car Booster.”
“It was the other guy’s fault, you saw the way he was driving. He was a madman, a deranged lunatic, a mototerrorist, a… really bad driver!”
“He was parked and you collided into his rear end causing seven thousand dollars in damages to his automobile.”
”Psh… Illegally parked!”
“In a parking lot?”
”That’s illegal?”
“There were zones, man… ZONES!”
“ Nevertheless, perhaps I should drive on this mission”
“How bout we flip a coin?”
“No.”
“C’mon real quick… it’ll take like five seconds”
“Okay. Booster call it in the air.”
“Based on the velocity, spin and side the coin was first on, there is a fifty seven percent chance of a tails outcome.
“TAILS!” Booster calls loudly!
“Heads.” Airwave says calmly.
“Heads?” Steel utters confused.
”HEADS? HE TRICKED ME!” Booster says after the pieces have fell into place in his mind.
“It wasn’t hard.” Steel says slyly to his heated colleague.
After being obviously bested Booster comes to one concrete conclusion: ”Redo.”
“What? No, we have a job to do. C’mon lets just go.” Airwave says trying to end the request.
“But the guy made up fake stats, since when was that legal in coin tossing?” Booster says looking back and forth between the two, “Muah ha! See you can’t answer because it isn’t, redo!”
“Can we get going? What does it matter who drives?”
“Because man, when the ladies see me behind the wheel they’ll go nuts, now trust me, they will still go nuts regardless of where I am seated, but if I am in the back seat or passenger seat, it’ll disrupt the flow of traffic, you don’t have to let me drive because I am a better driver, which I am, you have to let me drive for the safety… of America.”
“How does you sitting in the passenger disrupt traffic Booster?” Steel ponders aloud.
“Only the woman who don’t have access to the wheel of an automobile can see this face and it’s away from the curb, so the hoards of females that would swarm the street trying to get my autograph or a picture. Imagine this, we are cruisin’ down the strip and all of the sudden one girl points out my perfectly symmetrical face and all of the sudden hysteria ensues. Women flock like pigeons to get a look at me and leave their husbands who at this point are naturally driven with jealousy because let’s face it, we can’t all look as good as me. So anyways those husbands they catch a glimpse of me, they go nuts and they start a firing off their guns and guess what, we have got a full scale riot on our hands that I have to take care of and I am just NOT in the mood for that nonsense, I just moosed see?”
“You finished yet?” Airwave asks exasperated.
“Tsh, yeah I guess, if that fool proof logic isn’t enough to convince you, I don’t know WHAT is.”
“Well I think we should take our chances on the riot, Booster you lost the toss, Steel you agree that we just get moving?”
Steel smiles for the first time all day and says, “Yep.”
”Did he just say ‘yep’?” Booster asks and within a split second he comes to another realization and his face is overjoyed as he yells up ahead, “SHOTGUN!"

Thank you Charlie. Powers, Inc. is not posted on a monthly schedule...or a bi-monthly schedule. It is published on a semi-regular basis at a time when it is written which depends largerly on the motivation of one person with lots one with very little and one who often carries the art department on the small of his back.

More Powers, Inc #7 previewness, to go with the fact we now have a solicit up!
(Just don't tell Chris or Ramon)
Anyway...!
Enter Booster Gold.
His costume since the crisis had undergone many changes and for a while people even believed he was dead or undertaking other identities but it was all a ruse. His agent, yes he decided that agent was necessary now that he was a big time hero who fought heroically during the crisis and needed someone to look after his affairs, suggested he do some publicity stunts to stir up the public interest. And he did so. So much interest in fact that coming back to Powers Inc, was more of a favour to a group of people he kind of outgrew. And now that he was a big time superstar superhero, he intended to become a bigger force among the group too. No more backseat superheroing for him, no siree, he was going to have a voice and wasn't going to be as reserved as he had been in the past.
World, there is a new Booster Gold in town...
And he's shiny.
