Real name: Lord Majestros Therein (surname taken from wife) Alter Ego: Mr. Majestic Majestic is a very handsome, well-muscled man. His superhero garb is a shade of red and white, with shoulder armor, glove-like bracers, a head piece, and white cape. Status Occupation: Professional Hero Martial Status: Married (Scarlett Therein) Legal Status: Citizen of Khera, Prince of Geneva (by marriage) Group Affiliation(s): Team One (former), Wildcats I & II (former), Savant Garde (former), The Guard (current) Origin Place of Birth: Khera (Earth-50) Known Relatives: Majestrate (son, deceased), Kenesha, a.k.a Savant (daughter), Valour Therein (son) Majestros is Kherubim Warlord, born on the planet Khera. Like all the other Kherubim on Earth, Majestros arrived on the planet when the Explorer ship he was traveling on crash-landed thousands of years ago, following an orbital battle with a Daemonite vessel (which was also brought down). The Kherubim mostly integrated themselves among the similar-looking humans, and for the next several centuries, they fought a secret war against the surviving Daemonites, who plotted to conquer their new world. Majestros has fought on the side of good for so long that his exploits have been the basis of many myths and legends. He was seen defending Christians from lions at the Roman Coliseum when the WildC.A.T.s went back in time and he also recalls a time when he fought in WW2. Though he’s been a hero for thousands of years, he only became a (costumed) superhero in the 40’s, and he is best known in the Wildstorm universe for his adventures in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. History
Lord Majestros is one of four Kherubim Lords that crash landed on Earth thousands of years ago. Ever the warrior, he fought the Daemonites relentlessly and subsequently became one of humanity's greatest champions. TEAM ONEAs a costumed superhero, Mr. Majestic was a member of I.O.'s super-secret Team 1 in the early 60’s but he left the public eye after the team’s first catastrophic mission. A Daemonite named Helspont made a move against humanity. He tried to start a nuclear war between the most powerful nations on Earth in order to get humans to destroy themselves so the planet would be empty for the Daemonites. Lord Emp (going by the name Saul Baxter at the time) persuaded the head of I.O. to make a super powered team to combat the growing Daemonite force on US soil. As a part of Team 1, Majestic fought alongside Zealot, John Colt (the mind of Spartan), Think Tank (Henry Bendix), Slay and Isaiah King. As soon as the team was formed, they were sent into battle against Helspont, who had already seized control of a US missile base so he could get access to a nuke. Since Helspont wasn't acting alone, he was more dangerous than they had expected. Along with some Daemonites he had working for him, Helspont had also allied with a man that was known as Slaughterhouse Smith. Smith was a super powered human that could shoot lasers from his eyes and hands as well as fly. He ran a large gang that pretty much owned New York. Helspont thought he would be good to have working with him so he recruited him and his men (one of which would go on to become Pike, a member of Helspont's second Cabal) to help him. As Helspont got ready to launch the missile, Team 1 arrived and a fight ensued. Team 1 was vastly outnumbered and things quickly got out of hand. Various Team 1 members paired up with named and unnamed villains on Helspont's side, but Helspont himself was locked in battle with Mr. Majestic. Helspont was winning and he launched the missile while he fought Majestic. Things went awry and Majestic had to kill John Colt and couldn't stop the missile from being launched. Fortunately, one member of the team (Regiment) jumped on the missile and destroyed it as it flew, possibly dying in the process. After the disaster that was Team 1, Majestros spent 30 years keeping a low profile somewhere above the Arctic Circle, away from the problems of the world. THE MISSING 30 YEARSIt turns out that Majestic didn’t isolate himself for 30 years; instead, he was working with the government and dealing with unnatural phenomena. He had a partner by the name of Desmond who was an extremely intelligent young cyborg boy. His first job had him facing off against the Cosmic Negator, an immeasurable force of pure nihilistic energy, a threat he found out couldn’t really be defeated. Instead of trying to fight it, he decided to rearrange the stars, moons and planets in the solar system so it wouldn’t be what the entity was looking for. He had to invent gloves that would prevent planets from crumbling under their own mass as he moved them, as well as various machines to keep the Earth at its current environmental settings as he moved it across space. Majestic worked slowly so the alteration of the solar system wouldn't be noticed by those on Earth. The process took many years, but he succeeded in his efforts and the solar-system-devouring being was tricked into leaving Earth (and the rest of the system) alone. After bending space to his will, Mr. Majestic is forced to fight against time itself when a reality warping child puts the world in danger by moving objects (things like nuclear missiles, vikings and Liberace) and events (the parting of the Red Sea for one) backwards and forwards through time with disastrous repercussions. Other adventures included going on a date with Ladytron, containing an intergalactic prison break and dealing with the Ultravixens, a group of super powered, outer space seductresses. During this tiem Majestic also gathered some pre-dimensional star-stuff from Otherspace to power the body of the robot he was to place Majestrate’s mind into. His son only lived briefly; the sleeping star that powered him was the only thing that could stop pre-dimensional black hole that appeared on Earth so he sacrificed himself. WILDCATSMajestic’s return to the public came when Zealot and the WildC.A.T.s went to battle against an old enemy, Tapestry. Savant called him in as backup for Zealot, who was planning on facing Tapestry by herself. If she lost, she would have turned evil and gained the power of a god, and Savant knew that Majestic was the only one who could stop her if that happened. Zealot won and since he wasn’t needed, Majestic left. During “Wildstorm Rising” Majestic met Union and after the usual mix-up, they worked together along with all the other Wildstorm heroes in a fight against the Daemonites over a space ship. The good guys won the fight and the WildC.A.T.s took the ship to Khera, but as they left there was a flash of light and everyone thought they had died. In response, Savant got together with Majestic and started building a new team. They recruited Tao, Condition Red and Ladytron. Majestic lead the team in battle but Savant determined who they would go after. Unfortunately, she was being manipulated by Tao, who was maneuvering the new WildC.A.T.s into starting a Gang War. The original WildC.A.T.s returned right as the crime war was taking off, but they couldn’t stop to help their replacements. Grifter took the team (not including Voodoo and Emp who had left) to Gamorra to help Deathblow and Gen 13. Majestic followed them when he saw the face of the man behind the problems in Gamorra. It was the face of his friend John Colt, a Kherubim he’d been forced to kill during their short time as members of Team 1. His Kherubim body had survived and grown evil so Majestic had to kill him again, this time blasting him to ash. The team returned and now both WildC.A.T.s groups were fighting in the crime war. When everyone found out that Tao was behind it all and went after him, most of the team was defeated by his intellect, mind control and other skills. He fought Ladytron and pulled out the part of her that kept her nuclear power system in check so Majestic had to cut her in half and take her core to space where it blew up. He survived the nuclear explosion and came back just as Tao was about to take out the rest of the team. Majestic was the only one that was able to resist his mind control and mind games. He killed Tao, ended the crime war and saved the WildC.A.T.s. (It gets revealed at the end of the first volume that Tao had “convinced” the shape shifting Mister White to stand in for him and die in his place.) After the crime war the other WildC.A.T.s told the new team that the Daemonite war was over and while the group was figuring out what they should do, they were attacked by a Kherubim-hunter named Crusade. He was an enhanced human who was stronger and smarter than he appeared. He was able to go head-to-head with both groups of WildC.A.T.s, Majestic and Union. Savant beat him by messing with his head like Tao used to, and while he was out cold Zealot tried to kill him but Majestic stopped her. After this little episode, Savant quit the team and Majestic left with her in order to protect her. SAVANT GUARDEMajestic’s life continued in Savant Garde, a team brought together by Savant, where they searched for an ancient Mayan artifact. She didn’t really want Majestic’s company but he knew she needed his protection. On the hunt for the artifact (a mask) they ran into others looking for it, among them, thugs working for Tapestry. Savant used the artifact to escape but ended up in an alternate dimension. Tapestry was the ruler of this dimension and the Katrina Cupertino (pre-Cybernary) there had led a rebellion. Her side had sent the artifact Savant had found to gather champions to fight for them, so Majestic became the leader they needed. He led the rebellion against Tapestry and they won. Eventually Majestic, Savant and a couple others were able to get back to the real world. After the events of Savant Garde (and the WildC.A.T.s’ time traveling adventure) Majestic was asked by Grifter to be a reserve member of the team but was a little insulted by being considered a second-rate superhero. NEMESISA Kherubim female called Nemesis was revealed to be going around killing people for some unknown reason. Majestic and the Wildcats went to check it out and got involved in a plot that had been going on since before the Kherubim first crashed to Earth. Majestic and Nemesis had met on Khera when she tried to steal his sword. After he caught her, they soon became friends and lovers, and Majestic was able to get her Coda training, something an Adrastean like Charis (her real name) was normally not allowed. Unfortunately, since Charis was an Adrastea, Majestic being with her was frowned upon so they had to stay together in secret. However, their secret wasn't as well hidden as they thought. Kheran politicians, trying to make peace for their planet, chose Majestic to sleep with Zealot, an act that would unite the two most powerful factions on the planet, the Pantheon and the Coda. Majestic felt it was his duty as a Kherubim to do what he was asked of him for the sake of Khera, but the politicians would have blackmailed him by threatening to tell others about Charis if he didn't. Because of his "duty" Majestic and Charis separated, though they still loved each other. They ended up on Earth together though when their ship crashed on the planet. Charis was part of the Coda but was betrayed by another faction (led by her new man Raven) the Brotherhood of the Blade. The Brotherhood had joined with some rogue Daemonites in a plan to overthrow both their people. The first step of this plan was to kill the Coda and frame Charis. They did, leaving only Charis (and Zealot, who had left before the attack) alive among the original Coda. After this, both Zealot and Majestic swore to hunt down Charis (now Nemesis), not knowing that she had also sworn to avenge her sisters. The whole betrayal had taken place in Ancient Greece, and Nemesis hadn't been seen since. It wasn't until 2005 that Majestic found her. Majestic, Zealot, Savant, and Grifter found Nemesis in the middle of killing some Brotherhood assassins, though the Wildcats didn't know that was who they were. After she had killed them, the 'Cats tried to stop her from kidnapping a child that was with the men, but Nemesis made short work of the team. She even managed to cut Majestic with a sword (the blade of the sword was made from the metal of a machine that was created to destroy the universe and could cut through anything). She escaped with the child (named Kara) but Majestic and the team eventually find her. Before the Wildcats could arrive though, Daemonites found Charis and Kara and managed to take them by surprise, but she was able to hold her own until Majestic arrived looking to take Kara back and to kill Charis. After surrounding herself and Kara with a forcefield, Charis blew up the building, with Daemonites and Majestic caught in the explosion. Majestic survived though and used his former relationship with Nemesis to take her down. Majestros took both of them to a Halo Corporation building in New York City. While there, Charis revealed the truth behind her “betrayal” and also explained what was going on with the girl. The Brotherhood (and their Daemonite allies) had been mutating humanity (by polluting water all over the world) since they had betrayed the Coda and their people in Ancient Greece. The girl was created as an activator to trigger the mutations so Nemesis was keeping her safe so the Brotherhood couldn't use her to control humanity. Majestic and Zealot accepted her story (after some tests of their own), but before Nemesis could be released, a Brotherhood spacecraft (a Bladeship) emerged from a bleed portal and fired hundreds of projectiles into the Halo building with the Wildcats (and Nemesis) inside. The projectiles were Scimitars, Brotherhood/Shaper hybrids, living weapons born and bred to kill. Majestros saved Nemesis at the last minute from being cut in half by a Scimitar. While Majestic was fighting some of the Scimitars, Kara was kidnapped and the Bladeship attacked. After the Brotherhood ship bombarded the building with plasma canons, Charis was the last one standing, thanks to her force field. Following the Scimitar that had captured Kara onto the ship, she came face to face with Raven, the leader of the Brotherhood. She was too late to stop him from activating the girl, and the resulting blast knocked her off the flying ship and to the ground. When she awoke, she was with Majestic, Zealot, Grifter and Savant. It was then that Majestic and Zealot called a truce with Nemesis and offered her the chance to finally avenge her slain sisters of the Coda. Majestic, Nemesis and the Wildcats battled the human mutates in New York City, while other Wildstorm teams fought mutates all over America. Savant located the Brotherhood's battleship in space, and teleported all the Wildcats (except Majestic) using the Halo Corporation teleportation system. On board they found that Raven had the entire population of New Jersey frozen in status pods as hostages. He was ready to kill them if the Wildcats didn't surrender. Nemesis, being a Coda warrior, was unable to surrender, and threw out some special grenades, taking out the Brotherhood and buying time for her to send the hostages back to Earth and set the ship to self-destruct. Nemesis was able to locate Kara and free her, but she was attacked by a Daemonite and was about to be shot. Grifter, deeply in lust with Nemesis, took the hit for her. Savant tried to teleport the team back, but there weren't enough beacons to get them all back, so Nemesis gave hers to Kara. She also gave Grifter a goodbye kiss and told Zealot to tell Majestros that had she not sacrificed herself, she would have showed him what he was missing for the past three millenia. After the Wildcats were gone, Charis faced off against Raven. Raven also had a blade forged from the material that allowed Charis' blade to cut through anything, so when they fought, it was especially dangerous. They fought and Nemesis won, but in killing Raven, she had damaged the ship and she was sucked out into open space. It was then that Majestic returned, saving her from certain death since the forcefields she had activated when she was sucked out, were losing power. Back at the Halo Corporation building in New York City, Majestros asked Charis to stay with him and be with him as well as join the Wildcats. She turned him down, and after one last kiss went on her way to more adventures. DIMENSIONAL RIFTDuring a strange time-storm that was creating chaos in Metropolis, Superman went missing and Mr. Majestic was left in his place, sent there by a violent quantum event in which a long lost Daemonite scout pulled him through the Bleed (the gateway to different dimensions). Majestic immediately jumped into the empty role of protector of Metropolis, but was simultaneously looking for a way to get back home. The finest minds in the DC Universe (which Majestic didn’t find too fine) tried to help him but when Majestic saw their plan; he knew it would only make things worse. Eradicator was mad that Majestic didn’t like the plan that he, Steel and other scientists had come up with, so he trapped Majestic in the phantom zone. A furious Mr. Majestic escaped the Phantom Zone while Eradicator and Superboy were attempting the plan, which consisted of dropping a bomb in the time-storm. He stopped them and saved Metropolis. He also had patched the hole in the ozone layer, stopped California from floating away, thrown 131 meta-human criminals into stasis without trials, moved the entire French air force to Finland for attacking him and took the Green Lantern’s ring. Majestic then continued his research while protecting the earth. During one of his fly-overs he ran into Scarlett Therein, a super-villain. Scarlett fled, something she never did, and this pissed her off. She did research and found out that Majestic was new to this dimension. She decided she would draw him out to learn more about him and his abilities. During the encounter, the two fought with fury and determination. In the end, they both realized that they were worthy opponents, something that neither had really encountered before. Majestic offered Scarlett redemption, purpose, and even love. She only had to accept. After much, much inner turmoil as well as many discussions and debates with Majestic, Scarlett released her fears and the two became lovers. Weeks later Scarlett found that she was with child, Majestic’s child. The two then decided to go to Khera, in order to determine if it existed in this dimension as well as to strengthen their still shaky bond. During the trip they strengthened their relationship even further, and learned a great deal about each other. Majestic allowed Scarlett to meld into his mind, and this is their exchange:

MIND MELD – A HISTORY REVEALEDMajestic felt her presence in his mind and he sent his consciousness to find her. He found her presence, a visible manifestation of her within his mind. She was floating in a void of white space, for that is what Majestic was portraying into his mind at that moment. His own manifestation of himself flew down to her. “Hello Scarlett. Welcome to my mind. I hope you enjoy our journey…”He took her hand and the white void changed around him. They found themselves in space, looking down on a lush, green and blue planet, much like earth. “As you know, I was born as Majestros, on the planet Khera, over 5000 years ago. The reality that our bodies are in now is not my own. I was somehow transported to your reality through a space anomaly.”The images changed around them rapidly, Majestic’s childhood zooming through Scarlett’s mind as a blurr. The mind meld allowed her to take it all though, and understand it and feel it, just as he had. The image slowed down then, and the image before them was that of a chamber, a senate chamber filled with noble looking men. “I was born with a birthright, that of a Kherubim Lord. My father was the leader of the Pantheon, the most powerful political faction on Khera. He had served in the position for over 2000 years. His leadership took Khera through what we now call the Golden Era; one filled with peace, tranquility, happiness, and a advancement of technology.”The images moved forward again, the lessons of Majestic’s father were a common element of his younger years. His father was noble; much like Majestic was today, and taught Majestic with discipline, love, logic, and truth. Nowhere, however, were images of his mother. It was an absence in his life that he didn’t even seem to notice. Again the same blur of images filled his mind and over 400 years had passed before they stopped again, allowing Majestic to narrate the spots he deemed important. They found themselves in a bedchamber. Majestic was there, with a woman, their bodies intertwined in the act of love. There was no love, however, from Majestic. All that was sensed was one of duty. The act had to be performed. He was a noble. The Kheran noble line had to continue. “I do not even remember her name. She was the mother of my first child, a son. Majestrate. The Kherubim are a race blessed with immortality, but the downside is that we have become nearly infertile. Childbirth is a great honor and therefore every Kheran must participate in a ritual where a Kheran female and a Kheran male had to couple once. Should the female become pregnant and give birth, she would go on to become a priestess. Otherwise she could do with her life as she pleased. It was different, however, with children of Lords. Instead of having the mother raised the child, the father did. This way the proper teachings of what being a lord meant could be taught to the child.”Again they moved forward in time, the images of Majestic holding his son, the feeling of utter joy and happiness he felt. The times he spent training him to be a noble, a lord. The image stopped, 200 more years had passed. Again they found themselves in a bedchamber. “I had multiple union rituals, but this one led to the birth of my second child, a daughter. Kenesha. The mother, Lady Zannah, was a Coda Warrior and one of the best our world had ever known. With the birth of the child, she would have had to give up her rights as a Coda and become a priestess. Instead, she gave Kenesha to her own mother, who claimed to have the child herself, freeing Zannah to liver her life as she pleased. I was led to believe that our union did not produce a child, and that Kenesha was simply Zannah’s sister. It wasn’t until three years ago that I found out she was my daughter.”Once again, there was no emotion tied to the act performed in front of them. Majestic was doing his duty. However there was something else, something different about the woman… The image changed and quickly stopped, and the two found themselves in a large circular chamber with red, marbled walls. Females stood in a circle within the chamber and two females stood in the center, each holding a long pole with a blade on the end. They then engaged each other in combat, moving their bodies in a whirl. Their blades whipped and sliced at each other’s bodies and the two moved together as if in a dance. Hundreds of cuts appeared on each combatant’s body, a hair’s breadth into the skin, just enough to produce a razor thin line of blood. “The Coda are a completely female caste of warriors, devoted to the honor of combat. They are also a political faction, second only to the Pantheon. They are led by a woman known as the Majestrix, a position that Lady Zannah once held. What you see before you is called the blood dance, a ritual that mingles the blood of the warriors, giving them a bond of blood and symbolizes their devotion to the order, and to each other. It is the same ceremony that was used later on earth, in order to pass the blood of a Kheran to that of a human.”More and more images appeared in Majestic’s mind, and thus Scarlett’s. She watched as he fought in countless wars, lead armies in a wake of destruction, and traveled the galaxy in protection of his people. Over two millennia had past. Majestic was over 2000 years old as the next images came into focus. Scarlett found herself on a ship, filled with a group of Kherans. Zannah was there, as was Kenesha and Majestrate, and many others. “During the Kherubim and Daemonite War, I was sent on an exploratory mission to earth’s solar system, in order to determine if the Daemonites had made a presence there. The Kherubim’s feared that the Daemonites were going to enslave the population, using the people as hosts, and also use the earth’s vast natural resources. I was aboard the ship to provide a military and police asset to the exploration team. I also had my son with me, Majestrate, and my daughter, and Zannah also accompanied us. I still had no knowledge that Kenesha was my daughter. While we were orbiting the earth, a Daemonite Warship attacked us. We returned fire and both ships crashed to the earth. During the crash, my son’s body was destroyed, but I was able to preserve his mind in a crystal.”An enormous amount of pain, sorrow, and grief greeted Scarlett as she felt the same emotion that Majestic felt with the ‘death’ of his son. Majestic had also felt responsible for the crash on earth, a feeling of failure in his mission. “As the highest rankng Kheran, I made the decision that we were going to stay on the earth. With hundreds of Daemonites being released on the earth, including powerful Daemonite lords, I could not condone leaving the earth in their hands.”A strong feeling of duty met Scarlett as she understood the enormity of what it was to be a Warlord. In the memories she had seen thus far, she has seen him make decisions that had sacrificed hundreds of thousands in order to save millions. He made the decisions with logic and understanding and kept all emotion out of the equation. “However, I did not join the new earth-based war against the Daemonites, as I spent the next few years searching for a way to revive my son. After much research, I found a substance called starstuff from another dimension. I was able to use it in order to transfer my son’s mind into a new artificial body. I was filled with such joy, reviving him after years of searching. But my joy was short-lived. The starstuff was from another dimension and caused an inter-dimensional imbalance. The imbalance tried to correct itself by opening a hole in the earth’s atmosphere that sent deadly poison into the air. If left the way it was, the entire earth’s population would have died. It would soon become apparent that for the imbalance to be corrected, the starstuff in my son’s body would have to be returned. It was the hardest decision and action that I have ever had to do, when I pulled the starstuff from my son, ending his life.”The white space filled his mind again as the worst feeling imaginable hit Scarlett. She had witnessed the death of her father, in front of her eyes, but watching Majestic have to make the decision to sacrifice his son, to literally be the one that caused his own son to die, was more than anything she had ever experienced before. The love that felt overwhelmed her. It was a love like no other, a love for a child of your own flesh. It was a love that she would experience firsthand in the future, at the birth of her own child. It was also a love that Majestic claimed he had for her. Finally the white void in his mind took shape again. “I then rejoined my Kherubim comrades and protected the earth, using my immense powers to defend human beings from all forms of evil, be it alien or indigenous. I spent centuries fighting for justice.”Scarlett watched it all unfold, from seeing Majestic in Greece and Rome, dressed in the roman garb of a gladiator and a senator. He performed his duty, his protective work with efficiency and decisiveness. “In the mid 1900s, Saul Baxter, the Kherubim Lord Emp, discovered a new Daemonite menace on within the U.S. He convinced Miles Craven, head of the emerging I.O. government security agency, to assemble a team of super powered beings to contain the Daemonite threat. That was the birth of Team One. I fought along side other Kherans, Zannah, Yon Kohl, and Marc Slayton, as well as other super beings. During a battle with Lord Helspont, a Daemonite nemesis of mine, and the Cabal, a super powered terrorist organization; I was forced to kill my friend and fellow Kheran, Yon Kohl.”A bitter feeling of guilt washed over Scarlett. Majestic had killed millions, but he had never had to kill a friend. “After those tragic events, I retired from the sight and affairs of the human race. I settled beyond the polar circle, built a small wooden house, and spent my time reflecting on life. “A small wooden house in the middle of he Arctic. Majestic spent countless days, months, and years staring into space. He performed menial task, from chopping wood, to fishing, to working on his small wooden house. “When a Kherubim reflects on life, years may pass, and it was 50 years later before I returned to the civilized world. Kenesha, still unknown to me as my daughter, found me and asked for my help. Zannah, now called Zealot and a member of the covert team called the Wildcats, was in trouble. Her team had been captured by a powerful sorceress names Tapestry. Kenesha convinced me to come back with her, at least to save Zealot's life. Along with Soldier, Huntsman and Grifter, we managed to break Tapestry's grip on the team. However, in order to do so, Zealot's sorceress powers had to be activated, which she had given up, which brought her to nearly god-like power. Understanding it could destroy her soul, she asked to be killed. Reluctantly, I proposed to do it, as was my duty as a Kherubim lord. Fortunately another hero, Voodoo, managed to exorcise Zealot of her dark power, and it was unnecessary for me to kill her.“Scarlett watched the amazing battle with Tapestry and watched Zealot become power incarnate. She felt something odd from Majestic then, something she had not felt the entire 5000 years of his life she had witnessed; a tinge of fear. The power that Zealot possessed when she took hold of the magic within her was so immense, to terrible, that Majestic had a tinge of fear. “At that time I made occasional appearances around the world, helping with known threats, but still remaining somewhat isolated from the world. At this time, my fellow Kherans had found an old Kherubim ship, and decided to use it to return to Khera. As they left, Lord Emp asked Kenesha, who decided to stay, to keep the Wildcats going. So with given the task to keep the Wildcats team alive, Kenesha convinced me to rebuild a new team. I took everything to a new level, going after criminals with a purpose and vengeance only I could achieve. This raised the wrath of the villains' community and a full-fledged "Gang War" exploded between the villains of earth and the Wildcats.“He did have a purpose, and Scarlett watched as he rid the world of criminal after criminal, performing his own judgements and executions, and sending fear into the world. Some praised him. Many feared him. He did not care. He was doing his duty. “At this point, the original Wildcats came back from Khera, changed and divided by the experience. They reported that the Kheran/Daemonite War had ended and the Kheran society had fallen into corruption. I had a hard time with this, being a Kherubim lord, and my anger was taken out on the escalating gang war. Kenesha was disgusted by the war and decided to quit everything and go back to her treasure-hunting life. Zealot, concerned about her daughter, finally told me the truth about Kenesha. It was a moment I will always remember, the realization that I had a child again.”A feeling of pure, unadulterated joy. “It is a rarity for a Kheran to have a child, and almost impossible to have had two. Zealot asked me to watch for Kenesha’s welfare, and I gladly took the duty.”The images continued and Scarlett watched as Majestic flew out into space. A group of asteroids were heading straight for earth. If they would impact with the earth, every living thing on the planet would be destroyed. He destroyed them all, showing a strength and power capable of crushing and moving planets. On his return to earth he ran into a storm hovering above the earth’s atmosphere. As he investigated it further there was a flash of light, and he found himself in a bright blue sky with a plane crashing his way. Majestic had entered a new reality. THE BOND IS TIED – BUT NOT STRONG ENOUGHBack on Khera, in order to save Scarlett from the disease she had, one that would slowly eat away her life and kill her, Majestic performed a Blood Tying Ceremony with her. This gave Scarlett immortality and strengthened some of her other abilities. They eventually returned to earth, ready to start their new life together, protecting the earth and raising their son. For a few months, all seemed well. The two were married, and Valour was born. A few months after his birth Majestic received a message from Khera; an enemy had returned, one that could threaten the entire galaxy. Majestic wasn’t going to go, but Scarlett urged him to go, that he was needed, and she would await his return. Six months later Majestic finally returned and it was one to remember. Flying back to his base, The Citadel, he was greeted by an explosion. The entire island blew up, nearly killing him. He determined only one person could have been responsible. Scarlett. Characteristics Height: 6’2” Weight: 225lbs Eyes: Blue Hair: Black Age: 5000+ (appears in his 30’s) Personality: - Arrogant: He was born into a race of immortals that are more technologically advanced than nearly any race. He grew up as a lord of this race and was a legend among them. He has fought in countless galactic wars; served mankind for millennia, and seen the end of time… you’d be arrogant too. Everything about Majestic stems from his arrogance. He thinks he’s better than everyone because he is. This concept makes him who he is. He didn’t mate with a human for 3000 years because of this trait. He takes charge of every situation because he knows he’s the best to lead it. He takes the law into his own hands because his morals and ethics are the right morals and ethics. Majestic doesn’t go out of his way to point how he is superior, but many of his actions speak louder than his words.
- Calculating: Majestic is always thinking and always calculating. He continues to think of new ways to improve his own plans and devices, and in a combative situation that requires tactics, his mind is constantly looking at a thousand different scenarios and calculating the best option.
- Courageous: It takes a lot of courage to go against the likes of galactic and universal threats, but Majestic does so without batting an eye. If he has to face death in order to help others, he will do it. If he has to face a whole army of beings almost as strong as him in order to help save humanity, he'll do that as well. He doesn't believe in running away from things, unless there's a strategic reason for it. He would never run away from something if it would put someone defenseless in harm, though.
- Dedicated: Majestic is a very dedicated individual in almost all aspects of his life. Sometimes, a bit too dedicated. As Majestic he takes his role as protector and defender very seriously, putting the needs of others before his own. He can't be everywhere at the same time, but he certainly tries. Although this says a lot about the man, it also works against him.
- Determined: The part of a man that motivates him and keeps him going usually defines his level of success. Majestic has grown up with a heaping dose of motivation, and with his indomitable will, there is nothing that can make him quit when he puts his mind to it.
- Discerning: Majestic is an utter master of deduction. He understands human nature, having seen human civilization for 3000 years. He can easily pick up on subtle shifts in a person's mood and attitude very quickly if his attention is focused on them. He has a tendency is to cut through the chaff of a conversation and guide it to its logical conclusion, finding the questions that will get him the information he needs in the least amount of time. He cuts off small talk and gets right down to the meat of the issue.
- Inquisitive: Majestic is a scientist, and with that has a very strong curiosity to find out how all things work. Majestic is a proverbial sponge soaking up all the knowledge around him. He delves into the physical sciences, engineering, behavior, and even advanced theory.
- Intellectual: The man's a scholar. He's very well versed in Kheran culture and science, as well as a million other cultures. He finds himself attracted to intellectual challenges and welcomes them from that perspective. His abilities allow him to absorb information more effectively than a regular person would, making him very effective at self-educating and at retaining those things he learns. He might look all muscle to some, but in there he remains a man of intellect that strives to learn new things every day.
- Jerk: Majestic is secretive and a know-it-all, he's opinionated and bossy. He’ll act without telling anyone else, for their ‘best interests', and worst of all, he's almost always right. This behavior is unutterably obnoxious, and the fact that he's generally a nice guy doesn't really make up for it.
- Leader: Majestic is a leader, born, bred, and trained. He will take charge of any situation, even if there is already a leadership presence. A combination of confidence, charisma, knowledge, tactics, strategy, perception, team-playing, and personal strength, Majestic has - from the time he was very young - been a natural leader. The world, and even the galaxy, has looked to him in times of crisis or emergency, and he's always taken the steps necessary, giving off the impression that he always knows what to do.
- Love: Majestic’s love for his wife, Scarlett is probably his strongest motivation. He will dare anything for her. He would fight the legions of Apokolips, the demons of hell, or even Death itself for her. Majestic will do whatever he has to for her safety and happiness.
- No Mercy: He has power so he uses it, and he rarely, if ever, holds back against his enemies. When he was stuck in Metropolis, he took a stand against criminals in a way Superman never had, throwing them in stasis without giving them fair trials, even having to take on the Justice League when they showed their disapproval. Mr. Majestic does what he knows is right, whether other people want him to or not. Majestros is not afraid to kill, having incinerated beings with his eye beams.
- Outsider: Majestros invests most of his time (when not battling the forces of evil) shut off from others. He doesn't socialize with heroes or civilians and as a result is very distant. When compared to Superman, Majestic comes off as more superhuman, more alien, more god like, but less human and less real. While Superman is a part of the world he protects, Majestic flies above it and looks down on the people there. His biggest flaw is his inability to relax and get in touch with the world.
- Perceptive: Majestic watches people and situations very carefully, always weighing and judging and calculating what's present and what's needed, always taking mental notes on abilities and wants and personalities and tendencies. There're always comparisons and contrasts and cross-references and judgment calls going on in his head, and as a result, he's always on top of things, able to predict likelihoods in tense circumstances and unstable relations. It's part of what makes him a good leader, and it's part of what makes him able to pinpoint just what needs to be said or done, and when.
- Solider: Majestic has been raised to be a War Lord. He is a soldier to his core, a man ready to fight for honor, duty, country, and love. He has done it all, and he knows that death is a part of combat and a part of war. He understands the concept of taking 100 lives to save 1000. He likes integrity, honesty, justice, and discipline. When on a mission he tends to be all business, and tends to have little patience for lesser beings.
Public Opinion: In his own Universe, Mr. Majestic is seen one of two ways by most people, either as the perfect hero and a symbol of all that's right, or as an arrogant and stuck up "super dick" that thinks he's better than everyone else. This is true for most super powered beings his Universe, but since Mr. Majestic is widely considered to be the best (by everyone, whether they like him or not), he gets it the most. The vast majority of his supporters are other (super powered) heroes and people he's worked with. Many believe that whatever side Majestic is on is the right one (and the one that's going to win). Even by the few heroes who don't like him, he is respected. Most of the normal population also sees Mr. Majestic as a hero and there are even toys and posters of him. Young heroes (as seen in The Intimates) often idolize him and wish to be just like him. The people who don't like him are usually those who work with or in the government and feel that Mr. Majestic (and "heroes" like him) cause more damage and chaos than the villains they fight. Majestic doesn't pay much attention to the negative press and does his self-appointed duties no matter what others say.

Powers Known Powers: Majestic is a Kherubim High Lord, having powers that have been given to him by birth. He far exceeds the standard power of a Kheran. He is the most powerful Kherubim Warlord and it has been said that Majestic is one of the most powerful beings in the universe. - Superhuman Strength: Majestic possesses immense physical strength, the exact limits of which are unknown. He has crushed a pencil into diamonds, rearranged earth's solar system, moving every planet himself, as well as catching a speeding comet and using it to increase the mass of a planet. He can use his strength with his flight, having moved mountain-sized ship from earth to Pluto in 2 hours (faster than light). With his strength, he can perform some amazing feats:
- Thunderclap: By slamming his hands together, Majestic can create a tremendous blast of pressure. This is an area attack that causes sonic damage to hearing, disorienting the effected, as well as a concussive force that can causes damage and knock people back.
- Shockwave: By striking the ground with his feet of fists, Majestic can cause a massive shockwave. This can be focused on one person, or an area attack that can causes damage to structures, as well as knock people down.
- Superhuman Stamina: Majestic possesses extraordinary physical stamina. His muscles generate literally no fatigue toxins and he can exert himself at peak capacity indefinitely. He once flew for months in order to get to the edge of the universe.
- Flight: Majestic can move unaided through the air by force of will alone. His speed allows him to travel multiple times the speed of light. He has flown out of the Milky Way Galaxy and back to Earth in less than a year, which puts him somewhere around a few thousand times faster than light. He also traveled from Earth to Saturn in less time than it took one of his enemies to utter a sentence.
- Sonic Boom: By breaking the sound-barrier, Majestic can create sonic booms. Sonic booms cause extreme kinetic and concussive force in a sphere, causing damage to those in the area. The amount of damage could knock out humans, even killing them, as well as breaking windows and causing other misc. damage.
- Superhuman Speed/Reflexes: Majestic has the ability to move and react at incredible speed. This includes running, but flying is less strenuous and more versatile. His top running speed seems to be just under the speed of light. Majestic also possesses superhuman reflexes. He can casually catch with his hands a hail of high-velocity projectiles. He can also perform complex actions like assembling advanced technological objects in seconds. He once built a molecular disentangler in seconds, saying no one had ever created one, and "about 12 thousandths of a second into it, I had to scrap my original design and start from scratch." Majestic can perform a variety of superspeed feats:
- Speed Strike: Majestic can build up speed and use it to deliver a full strength blow plus the added speed he’s traveling for a deadly and powerful effect.
- Bullet Projectiles: Majestic can throw small objects as fast, or faster than bullets.
- Spinning: Majestic can spin in a tight circle, causing massive winds around him to deflect objects. He can also tunnel through materials like a drill. Another ability with spinning is grabbing and opponent and spinning rapidly, giving them extreme nausea and loss of balance/control.
- Sonic Boom: By breaking the barrier, Majestic can create sonic booms. Sonic booms work just like thunderclaps under the supers strength ability.
- Superhuman Agility: Majestic's natural balance, agility, and body coordination are substantially superior to those of humans.
- Superhuman Durability and Resistance: Majestic's body possesses a high degree of resistance to physical injury as well as a bio-aura. He can withstand bullets, rockets, lasers, nuclear munitions, and the depths of the sun without sustaining significant injury. He can survive in the vacuum of space indefinitely. The greatest example of his durability was when he stood at the center of an explosion that destroyed an earth-sized planet, and survived. Majestic also has a high degree of magical resistance, having ignored powerful magical blasts being thrown at him. He even gets turned to stone and has turned himself back to normal in a matter of seconds.
- Superhuman Eyesight: Majestic can use his eyesight in a variety of ways:
- Microscopic: Microscopic is the ability to perceive items with normal optical clarity that are normally too small to be seen with the naked eye. Majestic can see things smaller than an atom.
- Telescopic: Majeestic can observe objects over remote distances. His eyesight automatically focuses for distance, and he can see things that are far away with the same degree of clarity that they would if the objects were very close. This power works similarly to a zoom lens on a camera. Majestic's vision allows him to see light years away (something required for light-speed travel).
- Thermal: Majestic can detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. This can often be used to trace patterns of heat, indicating an invisible presence, or high-output energy sources.
- X-Ray: Majestic can see through solid objects. He can adjust the depth of his perception to varying degrees. X-Ray vision can be used to see through material of low mass and volume such as articles of clothing, or it can be used to see through denser materials such as concrete buildings or mountains.
- Infrared: Majestic can adjust his spectral range so as to be perceive types of light that are normally invisible to normal humans.
- Kirilian Aura: Majestic can see the very force, or soul, of another living being. All living things (people, plants, animals, etc.) are made up of a complex combination of atoms, molecules and energy cells. As these ingredients coexist, they generate a large magnetic energy field that can be sensed, felt and even seen around the physical body. This energy field has many characteristics, sound, color and shape. These characteristics are what we know as the 'aura'. When associated to a person, the aura can provide insight into the spiritual, emotional and physical aspects of the individual. The same can be said for animals and plants, as they too have emotions and a physical well-being. Viewing the aura of a living being allows Majestic to identify many things, from the emotional state, if they are lying, if they possess super powers, if they are alien, and even if they are supernatural or from another time/dimension, or universe.
- Superhuman Hearing: Majestic has highly specialized and evolved hearing.
- Pinpoint: Majestic can pinpoint something's exact location by hearing alone.
- Analytical: Majestic's hearing allows him to sense fine details about the sound, such as determining if someone is lying, the distance an object is based on the sound wave bouncing to and from an object, as well as determining how hard a substance is based on how the sound wave reflects off an object. He can also identify someone by their voice, or even their heartbeat.
- Extended: Majestic's hearing has a global range. He can hear all sound on earth, but his advanced mind moves them into his subconcious where it is all analyzed. If something requires his attention, it'll move up into his consciousness and he will act on it.
- Radar: The combined effect's of Majestic's hearing gives him a form of sonic radar, like a bat, where he can get a clear 'picture' of a room and objects within it by how the waves all bounce around.
- Radio: Majestic can also hear any form of sound wave, from AM, FM, television, cellular, police bands, and so forth.
- Superhuman Smell: Majestic’s sense of smell is so acute, he can smell the difference between dimensions. He has also used his sense of smell to detect the difference in the atomic structure of matter and also measure the disturbance in causality and the way time flows. That’s 4-D senses.
- Super Breath: Majestic's lungs are far more durable an efficient than that of a normal human. They also have a much higher capacity, achieved by compressing air in such a way in his lungs that he's able to store much more of it. When exhaling, Majestic is able to control the flow and pressure of the air coming out, manipulating his breath to create strong winds that would rival the strength of a gale or hurricane, able even to topple down a building. The compressing and condensation process that air undergoes in his lungs lowers its temperature to such degrees that unless the he regulates it when he expels it, they reach the levels found in the Arctic circle. Therefore, for all purposes Majestic is able of using a 'freezing breath' that is able to affect its target with a chilling effect, freezing them in place in an instant.
- Immortality: Majestic has no need to eat, drink, or sleep to fuel his body. He may eat or drink out of pleasure but his body no longer requires him to do so. He is immune to virtually every disease and toxin and will never die of old age.
- Superior Intelligence and Willpower: Aside from his physical strength and other powers, Majestic is a genius on the universal scale and has a force of will that has competed against universal beings. When faced with obstacles that can’t be overcome with brute strength, Majestic can evaluate a situation to find the proper solution and implement it correctly. He is knowledgeable in many fields (including physics, robotics, cybernetics, genetics, weapons technology, cosmology, chemistry, engineering, biology, earth and alien technology) and has more than once shown himself to be smarter than the most brilliant minds on his and even other planets. Majestic has also built ships for interstellar travel, sentient machines, bombs, mechanical combat suits and other things using scrap metal and other basic resources. See below under equipment for devices he has created.
- Total Recall: An added benefit of his intelligence, Majestic can remember everything with crystal clarity, provided it is something that his attention is focused upon, whether it be something significant in an emotional manner, or something that he finds interesting.
- Optic Powers: Majestic can fire highly concentrated beams of energy from his eyes. These beams can function in multiple ways. First, they can be used to project powerful beams of concussive force. The beam generates pressure which can pummel and subsequently, if desired, destroy objects. The maximum force of the optic blasts are unknown but a common example is that he can "punch holes through mountains" and rupture a six-inch thick carbon steel plate. Secondly, his optic blasts are capable of reaching extremely high temperatures. The heat generated by these beams is able to melt through steel, or even concrete. Majestic has full control of the amount of heat used by this ability.
Majestic's eye beams can be microscopic, like a needle, or widened to effect large areas. He could, for instance, hit a crowd of people standing on front of him with either a concussive blast or a heated blast. He could shoot his beams hundreds of thousands of miles, and could easily shoot the moon while standing on earth.
Majestic has also used his eye beams to re-program machinery and alter things on a molecular level. He has used his vision to read and reprogram Eradicator (advanced technology) causing him to explode, turn Jupiter from a gas planet into a hard planet, and enter a sun and cause it to split, forming two suns.
- Psi Resistance: Majestic has one of the strongest will’s in the galaxy and is capable of causing a counterforce against telepathic intrusion. He even was able to hide his mind from telepathic intruders during his time in the arctic.
- Regeneration: Majestic heals very rapidly. He recovers from stuns and disorientations almost instantly, and recovers from non-lethal damage equally as fast. He can also regenerate lost tissue; from bones and even organs.
- Universal Being: When Majestic went out into space during the late 1900’s, he was invited to become one of the Universals. The Universals are cosmic beings that preserve life. They work on a plane so much higher than anything else that no being that was not one of them could ever understand what they do or what they are. He accepted and was given cosmic power so he could be on their level, becoming a cosmic god and protector. After defeating an evil version of himself that was created by the process, he headed back to Earth. When he returned to Earth he said that he'd gotten over being a Universal. He no longer carried the title, but he didn't lose his powers. What these powers are is unsure, but Majestic has done things such as telekinesis , energy blasts, energy and matter manipulation, and reality altering (which he’s done twice). While he rarely uses these abilities, it can be said that Majestic is immune to cosmic entities and cosmic powers, such as the Omega Effect like Superman.
- Empathetic Link: After the Blood-Tying ceremony with Scarlett Therein, Majestic now has a permanent empathetic link with Scarlett. This enables them to feel strong emotions that the other is currently experiencing ,no matter the distance. It acts as a sixth sense for the pair of them, allowing them to sense when they are in danger or need “help”.
Known Abilities: Majestic is a highly skilled warrior, especially in the use of martial arts, knowing the Coda fighting arts, but also excels at bladed weapons. He had trained for thousands of years and has thousands of years of real combat experience. He is also extremely technical savvy, capable of creating highly advanced machinery, technology and devices (see intelligence under powers). - Gadgetry: Majestic’s intelligence is not only on a theoretical level, but also on an engineering level. Majestic is a brilliant inventor, capable of creating new and unique devices, ones that enable protection, or powerful weapons. Majestic is imaginative and has the ability to see possibilities that others don't, and then to make that image into reality. By using his super speed with his intelligence, he can create things he imagines within seconds.
He usually has access to highly advanced Kheran Technology that he can use, but sometimes he doesn't and has to make due with what he can find. To aid in his creating, he built a Kherubim Forge powered by “pure primal energy operating in tandem with arcane alien metallurgy”.
- Leadership: A true leader doesn't use diplomacy or encouragement or the fine art of the pep talk as tools. He uses them because he honestly believes in what he's saying. Majestic is able to give people encouragement -- encouragement that actually works, and sticks -- because he means it. People feel comfortable with following him and listening to him, not just because he sounds like he knows what he's doing, or because he looks like he's in charge, but because he actually does know what he's doing, and the authority he exudes is natural, not presumed. It also doesn't hurt that part of that knowing what he's doing involves both tactics and strategy -- knowing who should be doing what, when, and where, either within field teams or in deciding who should be paired up with whom to go on what mission, and coming up with longer-term plans to deal with various threats and/or projects.
- Multi-Lingual: Majestic knows nearly every language within the Milky Way galaxy, having travelled around it for 1000s of years. He also knows all languages of earth.
- Martial Arts: Majestic has been trained in hundreds of styles of combat, some from earth, but a majority from throughout the galaxy. He is one of the most skilled hand to hand fighters in the world. He is skilled in the use of all ranges of combat; hand strikes, kicks, throws, holds, chokes, locks, pins, grappling, and pressure points. He mixes and matches his moves to the situation. Combined with his ability to think ahead of his opponents, Majestic is a true threat to any fighter.
- Tactician: Majestic is the ultimate tactician and battle field leader - he can see ten steps ahead of his opponent, figure out what they will do, and select the course which best assures him and his team of victory. Every conflict can be won; he simply needs to outthink his opponent, whoever they are.
- Weapons Master: Majestic has studied many bladed weapons and the general fighting styles associated with them. He is capable of sword fighting, fencing, fighting with a knife, and the weapons associated with any number of martial arts.
Weaknesses:- Overmatched: For all Majestic’s power, he can still be matched, or even overpowered by other enemies. He is slightly less resistance to energy based attacks, having been knocked out by taking the electricity of an entire city. There is also advanced technology that can harm him, having been cut by a sword wielded by a technology-based Coda. Her sword was said to be able to cut anything.
- Underestimate: Majestic can also underestimate ‘lesser’ beings, leaving himself open for attack, not expecting certain beings from being able to harm him. It doesn’t take much to take a read on an opponent, but his initial impression is usually low.
- Hold Back: Due to underestimating opponent’s, as well as just not wanting to kill opponent’s outright, Majestic holds back 90% of the time. It takes a lot to get him to go all-out, and if he does, watch out.
- Energy: Majestic is slightly more vulnerable to energy than to normal attacks. Energy based attacks have a higher chance of causing him damage, and his regeneration takes longer to recover from energy attacks.
- Code: Majestic has a sense of honor that can also be used against him. He feels that he must protect all innocent, sense he is so much powerful than them. He will generally everything he can to stop innocents from being injured or dying.
- Family: Majestic now has a family. Although Scarlett can more than take care of herself, she is still his wife and someone he will do anything to protect. The same goes for his son, Valour.
Codeword: BoomTube

Khera Khera is the planet that all the Kherubim originate from. To outsiders, Khera seems like a utopia, with its highly advanced technology, crime-free cities and fair government. In reality this is the furthest thing from the truth. Despite how things may have been in the past, present-day Khera is a planet populated by elitists. They live in a system that separates people by race, sex, species and type of superhuman ability. There are 3 types of beings that are considered true Kherubim on Khera. The Pantheon (of which Mr. Majestic is a member) consists of males, who all have a Superman power set. They are the "most highly evolved members of the Kheran nobility". After the Pantheon there are males and females who are "normal" by Kheran standards. All their physical attributes are superhuman (though not nearly as high as that of Pantheon members) and they extremely long lived. The Coda (of which Zealot is a member) are the females who are trained from birth to be warriors. The Pantheon and the Coda make up the government of Khera and are usually in opposition. The Pantheon prefers to ignore their violence-filled past and strive for intellectual and scientific advances. The Coda feels they should always be ready for war and actively looking to conquer others. In both groups there are Lords, beings with vast psychic powers and the ability to control energy. The last group is the Shaper’s Guild. Genetically they are not true Kherubim but they are not considered different by the other two groups. The Shapers are all like Warblade; they can turn their bodies into liquid metal, shape it, and harden it into various bladed weapons as well as create projectiles. They are the architects and engineers of Khera. There is also a whole population of sentient robots like Spartan that are used for personal protection. The Titanthropes, or Titans, are the original race of Khera. They live underground and are used for heavy labor. Maul was a Titan-human hybrid. They are treated unfairly by the “true” Kherubim and not considered as good as even the human-Kherubim hybrids, but they are not as bad off as the Daemonites. After the war, all Daemonites were made slaves. They are the lowest of society and live in the hidden ghettos of Khera. Every Kherubim is a member of one of 7 military factions. They are called factions like membership is a choice, but membership is decided when a Kherubim is born and is connected to the type of being each Kherubim is. Since Majestic is a member of the Kherubim Pantheon, he is automatically a Warlord, basically the captains of the Kheran army that lead other Kherubim into battle and thanks to their amazing abilities can handle the biggest threats on their own. He was bred to be a Warlord and has proven himself to be a great leader and warrior, even becoming the commander of an entire fleet and ranking Kherubim on all of Earth. Biology: Kherubim resemble humans in appearance, but are physically far stronger, more durable, and immortal. The average Kherubim can lift around 10 tons and is bullet proof. However armor-piercing rounds can pierce their skin. They also have enhanced senses, including nightvision. They heal at an accelerated rate, but do not have full regeneration of limbs. They are virtually immune to all sickness and disease. The downside to their immortality is that they are almost infertile, only very rarely will a Kherubim produce offspring. This infertility doesn't seem to apply when the Kheran is mating with another species though, as Earth has various Kheran/human hybrids. These hybrids are immortal themselves, and have random super powers, usually becoming more powerful than a typical Kherubim. Their vocal cords are highly developed allowing a far wider range of tones than is possible for a human being. More powerful Kherubims, called Lords, have different abilities. Culture: Kherans are a warrior race with strong emphasis in hand-to-hand combat and an honor system. Bladed weapons seemed to be preferred despite the vast technological abilities the Kherubim have. Due to their low fertility, a ritual has been introduced where every Kherubim man and woman coming off age has to mate with an appointed partner. If the woman gives birth, she has to become a priestess. If not, she may go on to live her life as she wishes. No Kherubim can remember the last time a Kherubim woman gave birth to more than one child in her life. Older and more powerful Kherans are named Lords. It remains unclear what makes a Kheran a Lord, but a Lord is capable of undergoing the ritual of Ascension when he is ready. The Ascension ritual is an important part of Kheran culture, where a Lord asks a partner or good friend to destroy his body so that his spirit can be free. A Lord usually has so much energy stored in his body that this process tends to consume both Kherans. Though originally portrayed as noble and protective of other species, recently the Kherans have shown themselves to be very speciesist. They look down upon other species while thinking that they are in fact very tolerant and benevolent. Technology: Because the technology comes from Khera, some of the greatest examples of what the Kherubim have created is there, but since the planet has only been in the comics for one arc, there aren't many. When the WildC.A.T.s visited the planet and couldn't speak the language, they were given patches that would allow them to instantly learn it. Language is encoded onto molecules on the patches so when they adhere to the skin, knowledge (of language in this case) can be transmitted through the blood to the brain. Locations all over Khera displayed creative uses for Kherubim technology. The WildC.A.T.s stayed at a place called Coincidental Mansion which demonstrated Kherubim technology capable of altering probability and chance. In the entire area in and around the mansion, bizarre and improbable happenings were more likely to take place thanks to a "low probability field generator". While the other WildC.A.T.s stayed at the Mansion, Zealot, as leader of the Coda, stayed somewhere else. The base for the Coda was built in a desert called the Bay of Numbers. In the Bay, the grains of sand continually shaped and reshaped themselves into ever-changing geometric forms. Perfect spheres, cubes and other, seemingly random shapes would form out of the sand, but the order and placement of them never repeated (and never would for all eternity). Though Coincidental Mansion and the Bay of Numbers were just for decoration and entertainment, there are other Kherubim creations that serve more practical purposes. The most noticeble piece of Kherubim technology are the Spartan Guards. The Spartans are fully sentient robots that are built as personal bodyguards as well as a police force. Each Spartan has a "brain" more powerful than any other computer (on Earth or otherwise), is programmed to be able to use any technology it comes across, is equipped with powerful lasers, is skilled in armed and unarmed combat and has superhuman levels of strength, speed and durability. Spartan, one of these androids, is a permanent member of the WildC.A.T.s and also shows up in several other comics. In the Majestic one-shot: The Big Chill, he gets so advanced that he becomes a god, a powerful example of the limits (or lack thereof) of Kherubim technology. Of all the Kherubim creations though, the Kheran Dream Engine may be the best. It can turn thoughts and dreams into real, tangible things. Space Travel: The Kherubim have ships built for interstellar flight and in some cases, faster than light travel. Some Kherubim ships are able to access and travel The Bleed, allowing them to visit other dimensions. These ships (and the other battle ships) are outfitted with some of Khera's best weaponry and are so massive, they could be considered small cities. Even with the speeds the ships can reach, travel can still take a long time so stasis pods are on the ships to allow the crew to store their bodies safely during travel. While in stasis, the mind of a sleeping Kherubim is stored in a crystal should anything happen to them. Upon reaching their destination, the mind is returned to the brain and body it came from. If something should happen to the body during flight, the crystal can be stored until a new (robotic) body can be made for the mind to be put into. (This was actually what happened with Majestrate.) Weapons: Though the Kherubim have awesome technology and a myriad of machines that can do their fighting for them, most choose to fight for themselves and use bladed weapons to do so. Just because the weapons are not as complex as guns and lasers though, doesn't mean they aren't as effecient as other Kherubim tools. Blades made by Kherubim technology (called Kusar Blades) are capable of cutting anything, even beings of Superman/Majestic level durability. Sentient swords have been created that can deliver energy blasts as they strike (if the sword deems it necessary) as well as perform other tasks in the hands of a skilled swordsman. A sword like this is not common though, and only the highest ranking and most deserving are given weapons like this. There are also special weapons for stealth combat. Quantum-Folded Combat Blades are invisible and can be shrunk to the size of a cell phone and enlarged for combat. Skintight Nanoflage suits make the wearer invisible to all forms of surveillance and High-Dose Damper Capsules are pills that remove the powers of whoever ingests them so their energy signature is also undetectable. All this is not to say that Kherubim don't have other, more complex weapons. There are weapons created for large-scale warfare and world take-overs, it's just that they are rarely needed since the Kherubim themselves are war machines. One weapon that Kherubim possess is the Low-Grav Wallcrawler. It most resembles a normal Earth tank (with more cannons) but it can transform into an even bigger machine almost capable of going head to head with a Spartan Guard. These machines appear to be semi-sentient, able to be piloted or left to act on their own. The Kherubim also have bio-chemical weapons, one of which is the Haikyatu Armory. According to Emp it has two stages. The first is a bacteria bomb that destroys the nerve centers of all forms of life while keeping the bodies intact. The second stage reanimates and controls the bodies, creating an army of undead. Of course there are also the lasers and mega-bombs that most advanced races seem to have, but the Kherubim try not to totally destroy their enemies when they fight in case something can be gained from keeping them alive. Planet-Shapers: Planet-Shapers are massive machines used for the colonization of new planets and the spread of Kherubim. The first Kherubim created Planet-Shapers, terraforming machines that could be sent to suitable planets and through a long process, would rebuild the Kherubim race there. The Planet-Shapers would land on a still-forming planet and stay dormant beneath the mantle until sentient life evolved on the planet. At this point, the Planet-Shaper would release Kherubim (made inside the machine from "pure Kherubim gene-stock" it carried) and the natural sentient race of the planet would be made into a servitor race. To ensure that the new Kherubim flourished, the Planet-Shapers would restructure climate and geographic conditions to best suit the Kherubim. Also, giant robots would come from the Planet-Shapers and kill most of the servitor race, thinning down their numbers so they would never pose a threat to the new Kherubim. Kherubim Technology on Earth: The Kherubim have been on Earth for thousands of years and as a result, a lot of their technology has mixed with human technology. In the Majestic series, Desmond, a child genius, reverse-engineered a lot of Kherubim technology for personal use. He made suits that let him act like a superhero and rebuilt his legs so he could walk (he had been paralyzed from the waist down). After he gave up being a superhero he started to use the Kherubim technology for commercial profit. He started a company and created the Quickthink 4-Tell, a phone with instant messaging, video and holo-still, internet access, mp3, voice actuation, 4-D surround playback, simulcast conference capabilities and more for less than 100 dollars. He became a millionaire and he wasn't the only one. Spartan, a member of the WildC.A.T.s, used a mixture of Kherubim technology and Otherspace energy to in his own corporation. They sold batteries that lasted forever, cars that didn't need gas (and lasted forever) and computers that would never need to be upgraded or even plugged in. Other companies also used bits and pieces of Kherubim technology (though they didn't know it) and soon enough Earth was covered in "xenotechnology". In Wildcats v4, the latest volume, Spartan has begun to sell Spartan Guards as household tools and the world is eating them up. They are capable of inscribing knowledge in the form of organic molecules, which when injected into the bloodstream downloads that knowledge straight into the brain. They are capable of manipulating the laws of chance, simply for the purpose of entertainment. Their most impressive creation is probably the Kheran Dream Engine, which is capable of turning dreams and thoughts into reality. It is unclear whether this is a rare artifact or a mass-produced item of entertainment. Kherbubim Bood-Tying Ceremony: The Kherubim race, being immortal, have a very special blood. It has been shown that a Kherubim can perform a blood-tying ceremony with a human, giving the human nigh-immortality, curing all sickness and disease. Furthermore the human becomes slightly enhanced, becoming nearly twice as strong and fast as they typically were. Also, the human can heal faster, but does not possess full regeneration capabilities. If a Kherubim Lord were to have a blood-tying ceremony with a human, the result would be the same, but with greater effect. Additionally, any powers that the Lord possesses may appear in the human, at a lower level.

ArchangelArchangel is the base of operations for Majestic and the Tribunal; the newly formed hero team. Archangel is a giant spaceship that generally hovers in orbits 200 miles above the earth. The ship has the following statistics: Length: 1000 meters Height: 250 meters (40 decks) Offensive Weapons:- Pulse Phaser Canons (20): The pulse phaser cannon, unlike a conventional phaser array, fires bolts of energy rather than a beam discharge. They are more powerful than a normal phaser, due to the destructive energy being delivered onto the target all at once, instead of a steady beam like a conventional phaser. The ship's phasers do have a stun setting, and can be set for wide-beam.
- Torpedo Tubes (10): Torpedoes are used in space combat as an alternative to energy weapons. Torpedoes can be configured before launch to fit various specifications. Normally a torpedo is equipped with a heavy warhead, but the explosive yield of this warhead may vary depending on the type of torpedo.
- Quantum Torpedo: Quantum torpedoes rely on harnessing zero-point energy, increasing their destructive power to above the maximum capable with a photon torpedo. Specifically, the zero-point initiator is activated by an uprated photon torpedo warhead at 19.5 isotons, producing a final explosive yield of 50+ isotons. Furthermore, the pattern of energy release (duration, vector, etc.) makes the blast more difficult to disperse by starship shields, increasing the tactical effectiveness beyond that of a photon torpedo even more.
- Plasma Torpedo: The plasma torpedo weapon is an extremely powerful torpedo of high-energy plasma. It travels at multi-warp speeds, nearly fast enough to outrun even the fastest starship. One plasma torpedo is enough to crack a planet in half.
- Chroniton Torpedo: A chroniton torpedo is a projectile weapon based on temporal science. They are able to pass unhindered through the shields of enemy ships due to their existing in a state of temporal flux. The Archangel has temporal shields to protect itself from this type of attack.
Power Source - Harmonizer: The ship has a very unique power source, one that comes from a moon-sized battery located two galaxies away. The battery is actually a giant harmonizer that places the nucleus of a black hole in a perfect balance, enabling the machine to draw forth its power. The battery sends the energy through ‘prime-space’, basically a micro wormhole and directly into the ships ‘core’, something that can’t be detected because it goes through a different space/time and into the ship. This battery fills the ship with pure primal energy, operating in tandem with arcane alien metallurgy, forming a Pandora’s box of science and power. Ship Structure: The ships structure is made out of a metal alloy fabricated by Majestros. This alloy is completely heat and cold proof, as well as harder than any known earth substance. The walls prohibit any form of beaming, teleportation, or phasing, besides that of the ship itself. The ship also has sensory blocking technology stopping all scanning from penetrating it. Central Computer System - aka Zen: This is a Kheran Difference Engine, one of the greatest pieces of technology that Khera and Majestic have created. It is a quantum-based computer, with liquid circuitry activated by tri-polar electromagnets. It is an advanced artificial intelligence that can tap into every computer on EVERY planet, including all 52 alternate earths. It is programmed for constant intelligence upgrade and is powered directly by the Harmonizer. The computer is called Zen. Zen is capable of flying and fighting the Archangel on its own. This includes navigation, weapon systems, and battle formulating strategy. Zen can also force the auto-repair systems to prioritize certain systems. Zen can perform instantaneous analysis of substances, as well as some crude telepathic ability. It can operate a defense system against intruders that would use images of loved ones or even illusionary guards. Zen can also perform the calculation of probability, with the ability to predict the future. Zen can use its limitless information to derive effective strategies or deduce critical information. Artificial Reality Matrix - ARM: The ARM serves both as entertainment and training purposes. It combines transporter technology with that of replicators, by generating holographic images in 3D space as well as projecting force fields to give the objects the illusion of substance. ARM matter can impersonate real matter even at the molecular level. Molecule-sized magnetic bubbles replace molecules in full resolution holographic objects. The computer can manipulate them individually in three dimensions. The computer may use large magnetic bubbles to simulate surfaces and textures rather than create an object at the molecular level. However, objects created within the holodeck would not exist beyond the holodeck itself, as they only exist as energy. The ARM has an enormous amount of pre-set programs for training scenarios. Zen can also be given commands in order to create other new scenarious and scenes. Holographic technology: This ship can send a holographic image of something to a place far away, even over many light years. This device can be used to produce a holographic image of a person, which actually appears real, and is sent to the people with whom the person wants to talk. It can also use the holographic projections strategically, to distract enemy troops from battle. Nanites: The Archangel is unique in that much of the work, including repair and medicine, is done by Nanites. A Nanite is a microscopic robotic device and a form of nanotechnology. A nanite is built by manipulating atoms and contains gigabytes of computer memory. It is small enough to enter living cells and can be programmed to do numerous tasks. Zen, the sentient computer system, is able to control the Nanites on the Archangel and use them for repairs, alterations, and much more. Majestros also uses Nanites when creating new gadgets. Interphase Cloak: The interphase cloaking device is an advanced type of cloaking device that allows Archangel to become invisible and travel through solid matter and high-energy fields. A molecular phase inverter moves the ship out of phase with the spacetime continuum. Shields: Deflector shields operate by creating a layer of energetic distortion containing a high concentration of gravitons around the object (ship, city, etc.) to be protected. Neither matter nor highly-concentrated energy (i.e., weapons fire) can normally penetrate a shield. When shields are "up," or energized at a high level, most matter or energy that comes into contact with the shields will be harmlessly deflected away. The Archangel has enough shield capacity to travel through the corona of a star. Propulsion: The quantum slipstream drive is an advanced form of interstellar propulsion. The slipstream is a narrowly-focused, directed warp field that is initiated by manipulating the fabric of the space-time continuum at the quantum level. It works by focusing a quantum field through a deflector dish to generate massive changes in local space curvature; this creates a subspace tunnel, which is projected in front of the vessel. Once a ship has entered this tunnel, the forces inside propel it at incredible speed. In order to maintain the slipstream a ship has to constantly modify the quantum field with its deflector dish. The calculations are simple for Zen, however the calculations involved are too complicated for technology of the 21st century, and it is estimated that earth will not create a computer sophisticated enough to do this calculations until the 35th century. With the quantum slipstream drive, the Archangel is the fastest ship around, by a long –shot. It can travel over 2 million times the speed of light. Tractor Beam: A tractor beam is an attenuated linear graviton beam used to control the movement of external objects. The beam places spatial stresses on the object in specific areas allowing the ship using the tractor beam to hold the object in a fixed location or alter its position or trajectory. The Archangel has the capability of holding starships securely while traveling at warp speed. It is also capable of rapidly draining a vessel's shields while holding the vessel in place, rendering it virtually helpless against further attacks. Beaming technology: This enables instant transportation of a person or object(s) from one place to another over massive distances. It’s capable of traversing as far as the edge of the solar system. Without specific data on the object, a beaming device must be located on the object. Besides people and small objects, the beam device is capable of beaming large objects, even complete skyscrapers. Biogenic Weapon: Plans for a living radioactive material that can be programmed to target and destroy a specific type of DNA. This devastating weapon is capable of wiping out entire select species while leaving others unharmed. The delivery system would be an energy bomb, exploded in an upper atmosphere. It’s possible to create a device large enough to take out an entire planet. Healing chamber: This 10ft square chamber is capable of healing extreme injuries, including the regeneration of limbs, and even capable of reviving the dead. However, there is one flaw; it is extremely dangerous to pure humans, causing them to become deranged and violent. Molecular Cage: This device consists of a circular steel platform and a separate control panel. A hemispherical web of monomolecular chains completely surrounds the prisoner. Anyone passing through the web, such as the prisoner, will be sliced to pieces by the monomolecular chains, which ignore physical defenses, but are affected normally by force fields. Quark Instability Condenser: One of the most powerful weapons -- Extremely effective against cyborgs and robots, the condenser harnesses a fraction of the binding energies of atomic nuclei and any free energies around or in the target, generating a quark destabilizing pulse which causes variable damage, pain and disruption to its targets. - Against non-powered beings (beings with no physical powers, abilities derived solely from training, or mental powers of any source), the beam acts as simple -- and in most cases lethal -- electrical energy blast.
- Against targets with inborn physical (but not mental) powers (i.e., most mutant, altered humans, and even aliens), the blast is boosted by the target's own energies, in most cases boosting the effect of the blast enough to seriously damage the target.
- Against any armored, robotic, or cybernetic target, the intensity of the blast is boosted (as above), and the target will be paralyzed and their devices will be disable/shut off.”
Body Transferal Tubes: Subjects of the device stand within the glass cylinders, which are connected to the console. Spiraling waves of energy surround the subjects, and they suddenly find that their minds have switched bodies. Once the transferal is complete, it is permanent, though the machine can be used to reverse the effect. Enhancer Device: This large machine consists of three glass-and-steel capsules attached to a computer console. Each capsule can hold one man-sized creature. When the device is activated, one of the subject's inherent abilities is increased to superhuman levels. It could not grant a human the power of flight (because humans ca.nnot fly), but it could give a fast runner super-speed, a person skilled in fire-walking an immunity to fire, or a skilled hypnotist bona fide mind control. The operator determines exactly which "inherent ability" is affected, and to what extent. The device can only be used once on a given person, and only to grant the chosen person one permanent power. Miscellaneous DevicesMajestic has one of the top minds in the universe. He has constructed hundreds of advanced devices. He currently has: - Kinetic gloves: Enable a person with sufficient strength to move planets without them breaking apart from the force of gravity.
- Body Altering Chamber: He created a device that he sat in for one week that changed his cellular structure, making is one of the hardest substances in the universe and capable of allowing him to survive in the center of a sun, while causing a chain reaction that forced it to split.
- Kusar Blades: Blades made by Kherubim technology are capable of cutting anything, even beings of Majestic level durability. Sentient swords have been created that can deliver energy blasts as they strike (if the sword deems it necessary) as well as perform other tasks in the hands of a skilled swordsman.
- Quantum-Folded Combat Blades: These are invisible and can be shrunk to the size of a cell phone and enlarged for combat.
- Skintight Nanoflage suits: Make the wearer invisible to all forms of surveillance.
- Temporal Disruptor Grenade: A temporal disruptor is a bombs; essentially a "time bomb" (in the literal sense), the disruptor destroys its target by fragmenting and distorting the space-time around it to the point where the target can no longer hold cohesion. A small device only about forty centimeters long, the disruptor had an effective range of about 150 meters.
- High-Dose Dampener Capsule: Pills that remove the powers of whoever ingests them so their energy signature is also undetectable. Lasts about 2 hours.

Spartan Guard RobotsThe following is the write-up for a Spartan Guard robot. Normally these are built on Khera as androids, but Majestic instead created them as robots, since he had no real consciousness to inhabit the robotic bodies. Characteristics Height: 6'6" Weight: 500lbs Eyes: Blue Hair: White Unusual Features: Appears as a normal human being Powers
The Spartans are fully sentient robots that are built as personal bodyguards for the Archangel. Each Spartan has a "brain" more powerful than any other computer (on Earth or otherwise), is programmed to be able to use any technology it comes across, is equipped with powerful lasers, is skilled in armed and unarmed combat, has superhuman levels of strength, speed and durability, superhuman senses, and posses the ability to fly. Spartan's connection with other machines is rather impressive. They can wirelessly connect with any computer system and bend it to their will. Known Powers:- Super Strength: Spartan’s possess fairly massive superhuman strength. Their biosynthetic body is capable of supporting up to 500 tons of weight with little trouble.
- Durability and Endurance: Spartan’s are not ‘invulnerable' in the true sense of the word but they are still fairly tough and difficult to injure. They are easily bullet proof and invulnerable to most conventional street weapons such as a common knife, gun, bullets etc. Armored piercing bullets can get through their biosynthetic flesh however and powerful assaults from super-humans can damage them. Their bodies are also unaffected by EMP's. They have the ability to function even with considerable damage done to them. They could have both arms ripped off and have holes torn through most of their body and even in their head..and still be capable of functioning and pushing onward. In many ways, the only way to truly defeat them is to completely destroy them and shut their systems down.
- Speed and Reflexes: Spartan’s are capable of building up speed and running up to 250mph. Furthermore, they can fly by emitting plasma, and reach speeds of Mach 10. Their reflexes are extraordinary, giving them the ability to dodge high velocity projectiles with little effort.
- Bio Blasts: Spartan’s are capable of generating powerful amounts of energy and releasing it from their body in the form of explosive blasts from their hands known as bio-blasts. These powerful bursts of energy can hit with as much as 1000 tons of force. They are easily capable of shredding most alloys and leveling through most things.
- Plasma Shields: Spartan’s can generate fields of plasmatic energy designed to protect themselves and others and repel attacks against them. These fields cannot be raised while they are using their internal energies to generate bio-blasts.
- Strobe Blasts: Although they are not meant to do physical damage as their other attacks, Spartan’s can adjust their internal energies and emit powerful and directed bursts of pure light. Meant mainly to disorientate, temporarily blind, and throw off balance their targets. These strobe blasts occur as a multi-colored directed assault of pure light.
- Stasis Field: Similar to telekinesis, Spartan’s can generate and create powerful stasis fields which mainly are used to temporarily freeze and immobilize opponents, setting them up for another teammate to attack. The stasis fields are not that powerful however, their gripping strength no more than 1 ton. It’s enough to freeze a normal human or S.P.B. without super strength, but sufficient force can break free.
- Stealth: Spartan’s are capable of generating fields about their body that in essence turn them into a chameleon, capable of fooling sensors and radars and the naked eye as well; their body visually melds with the background they are up against for optimal surprise attacks.
- Sensors: Spartan’s possess enhanced senses that allow them to scan for all energies. They are capable of scanning entire cities for specific humans. Radars, motion, sound, thermal, x-ray, etc.
- Beaming: Spartan’s control the beaming technology of the Archangel, giving them virtual teleportation. They can also carry passengers, or secure beaming devices to other person's or objects in order to beam them.
- Cybernetic Brain: Basically a super computer. They possess a true photographic memory, or perfect memory. They remember everything; every piece of data, image, and sound they have heard they remember with perfect clarity. They have an unlimited storage capacity and can process knowledge much faster. They are able to perform several mental functions at once without losing focus on any of them. The sheer speed of their thoughts enable them to make snap decisions about their surroundings and create complex scenarios at that same speed. They can perform multiple tasks at once by allocating a partition of their brain to each task. They are all inked to the Archangel’s computer, giving them control of all the ships defensive and offensive functions, as well as search information. They can wirelessly control and hack into virtually any computer.
Known Abilities: Spartans are fully knowledgeable of all Kheran technology and are further knowledge on all earthly subjects, having a direct link into the world databases. Anything they don’t know already can be easily accessed in milliseconds by their connection to the Archangel computer. Being personal guards, they are fully knowledge in all martial arts, including those of alien planets, as well as melee weapons, firearms, and armored vehicles. Weaknesses: Spartan’s, while powerful, can still be overpowered. Additionally, electricity-based
