The Good Guys

Audio Babe

Real Name: Kate Martin

Powers: Audio Babe draws energy from the sonic vibrations of the Audio Shield surrounding Audio Land to create powerful energy blasts. It has been hinted that she has even more powers, but rarely displays them in public.

History: Much of Audio Babe's history is unrevealed. It is known that she is human and was taken in by Governor Trondrek and raised in Audio Land.

Status: A Former Hero of Audio Land currently operating in Seattle

Audio Bear

Real Name: Keiffen (no last name)

Animal Type: Bear

Powers: Audio Bear has strength far greater than any human and is also a highly trained martial artist. He has spent a great deal of his training time learning the sport of wrestling that he watched on TV.

History: Audio Bear is an Xtrapulonian born on Earth in the secluded island nation of Audio Land. He participated in the Audio Land Hero Contest to crown a national combat champion and won. His prize was the mask and costume of Audio Bear.
Status: A Hero of Audio Land

Audio Man

Real Name: Kurt Alexander

Powers: Audio Man is stronger than any human, but not nearly so strong as Audio Bear. He also has the ability to fly. The large headphones he wears can pick up sounds from miles away and also gets any radio channel in the world.

History: While motor boating, the teenager who would become Audio Man accidentally passed through the Audio Shield surrounding Audio Land. The electronics on the boat were destroyed and he was left with severe brain damage. The Xtrapulonian doctors were able to repair his brain by tapping into the power of the Audio Shield itself to stabilize his brain waves. The prosthetic ear pieces he wears are tied directly into his brain and keep him alive as well as providing his super powers.

Status: A Hero of Audio Land

Captain Anacortes

Real Name: Arnie McMoe

Powers: Captain Anacortes is incredibly strong and nearly invulnerable. He also possesses “traffic sense” which allows him to sense vehicles and patterns of their travel.

History: While working at Escape From Fantasy Comics in Anacortes, Washington, Arnie McMoe was given a “magic” sailor hat by the alien Audio Land government. He was in fact being tested by them as a weapon should they ever need him. The hat granted him incredible powers, but he rarely got to use them as Anacortes is really a quiet seaside town with very little crime and no super villains. After a couple of years fighting petty crime, Captain Anacortes gave up his sailor hat and returned to normal life.

Status: Arnie lives in Anacortes where he happily lives an un-super powered life.

The Chief

Real Name: Wade Harper

Powers: None

History: While motor boating with the soon-to-be Audio Man, the soon-to-be Chief was injured when the boat crashed through the Audio Shield. While his friend was nearly killed, the Chief recovered quickly. He was given the choice to have super powers, but he refused. Instead he took the job of Chief of Police for Audio Land, and liaison with the outside world. This has led to a strain in his relationship with Audio Man, who he has known since high school, when the Chief was forced to fire Audio Babe.

Status: The Chief is currently the Chief of Police of Audio Land.

Governor Trondrek

Real Name: Ando Trondrek

Animal Type: Lion

Powers: Trondrek has strength that is superior to any human’s.

History: Trondrek's father was an immensely popular governor until his death 15 years ago. Riding his father's coat tails, Trondrek quickly rose to the same post, the highest in the land. He has not been as popular as his father, but has ruled during the first major threats to Audio Land. He began what he dubbed "the Hero Project" to create and develop super heroes to defend Audio Land. He organized the Audio Land Hero Contest. He oversaw the creation of Audio Babe's powers and pushed through the legislation to allow Audio Man to be implanted with his powerful headphones. It was his idea to test Xtrapulonian technology on Arnie McMoe, turning him into Captain Anacortes.

The Bad Guys

Bowling Ball Gang

Members: B.B (the leader), Rocko (the muscle), Sal (the gun)

Powers: The Bowling Ball Gang are living bowling balls and are able to throw themselves just as if by an expert bowler. They are virtually indestructible.

History: The origins of the Bowling Ball Gang are unknown before they teamed up with the Capitalist Pig in the assault on Audio Land Police Headquarters. A month after being arrested they literally broke out of prison by throwing themselves repeatedly against the cell walls until they shattered.

Status: The gang is currently at large and is believed to be behind a rash of organized crime in Audio Land. Their location is unknown.

Broken Speaker

Powers: The Broken Speaker can channel large amounts of electricity. Were it ever be repaired, it boggles the mind how powerful the Speaker would be while in proximity to the Audio Shield.

History: The Broken Speaker was once an emergency alarm system for Audio Land, designed to warn the Xtrapulonians of any impending disasters. Unfortunately it was placed too near the Audio Shield and short circuited during testing. This gave the Speaker mobility, limited intelligence and a desire to cause pain and suffering.

Status: The Broken Speaker has been permanently deactivated.

Capitalist Pig

Animal Type: Pig

Powers: The Capitalist Pig has super human strength and the ability to count vast sums of money simply by being near it. He can also sense the presence of money even if it is hidden out of his sight.

History: The Capitalist Pig spent his childhood in a small rundown house near the First Bank of Audio Land. He went to sleep at night with the sound of the vault opening and closing. Poverty was rare in Audio Land, but the Pig’s parents never seemed to adapt to Earth economics well. When the Pig was introduced to Capitalism in high school, he felt he had found his philosophy in life. When his first business (a roadside pancake stand) failed, he tried out for the Audio Land Hero Contest, but was defeated in the third round by a young bear who would eventually win the title of Audio Bear. Overwhelmed by his failure he turned to crime, believing that Capitalists would do anything for money and that he was simply taking that to the next level.

Status: The Capitalist Pig is currently serving a 15 year prison sentence.

Communist Bucket Head

Real Name: Nicolas Petersburg

Powers: While quite strong, the Communist Bucket head doesn’t have any powers. His bucket helmet does prevent him from hearing logic, reason, or the pitiful cries of the oppressed masses.

History: Nicolas Petersburg was exiled from the Soviet Union for his hard-line stances regarding Communism. He attempted to overthrow the government on several occasions claiming that it “wasn’t Communist enough.” When the Soviet Union fell and the western world began to celebrate, the cheerful cries of joy drove him insane. He created the helmet to help drown out the sounds and then headed to the island of Audio Land to convert them to his radical ideology. He did not count on the Audio Shield, however. It shorted out his helmet and left him a shell of his former self. He was given the name Communist Bucket Head by the Audio Land press, who thought his preaching of Communism on the street corners was both hilarious and rather stupid. He recently escaped from the Audio Land Hospital for the Criminally Insane and stowed away on a ship to America. Once there he hijacked a plane intending to go to Cuba, but was captured and turned over to the Americans by Audio Babe.

Status: Communist Bucket Head is currently incarcerated at an American Federal prison awaiting trial.

Cuddles

Animal Type: Bear

Powers: Cuddles is able to funnel great amounts of static electricity and send it out to give people a nasty shock. He is also incredibly cute, which often disarms his opponents.

History: Cuddles is from the 4^th generation since the Xtrapulonian colonization of Audio Land. He was too young to participate in the Audio Land Hero Contest, but idolized the participants and particularly the winner, Audio Bear. When two humans were teamed up with the native hero, Cuddles was furious. He developed an isolationist attitude, wanting the country sealed off from the human world. He provided vital intelligence to Skinhead, which allowed the New Reich leader to protect his war machines from destruction when they passed through the Audio Shield.

Status: Cuddles is serving a life sentence for treason. He is expected to be returned to Xtrapulon to serve out the sentence when the next ship arrives. The date of that arrival is a state secret.

Huh?

Powers: No one is really sure what Huh?’s powers are. He seems resistant to damage and can walk through walls, leaving a Huh? shaped hole behind.

History: No one knows what manner of being Huh? is or where he came from before he joined forces with the Capitalist Pig in the raid on Audio Land Police Headquarters.

Status: Huh? is serving a 10 year prison sentence with regular visits by confused scientists of all sorts who are trying desperately to solve the riddle of what he is and where he came from. Since all he seems able (or willing) to say is “Huh?” it is unlikely he will help them much.

Little Chicken

Animal Type: Chicken

Powers: Little Chicken has a powerful form of hypnosis which confuses those around him into jibbering messes. He screams “Twenty Pieces of Chicken” a lot, which results in the listener going mad for a short time. He also is all fluff with no discernable body.

History: When Little Chicken was newly hatched, it was discovered that he was actually a mutation from the normal Xtrapulonian breed. He was ostracized at an early age by his peers which drove him from Audio Land. He attempted to start a life of mischief while working as a mascot for Louisville Dried Chicken in Anacortes, Washington, but was stopped by Captain Anacortes.

Status: Little Chicken was extradited back to Audio Land where he is serving a 2 year prison term.

Nuke

Powers: Nuke is a walking, talking, cigar smoking nuclear missile.

History: When Skinhead gained access to a nuclear missile in a poker game with some shady associates of Communist Bucket Head, he immediately got the brilliant idea to have a robotic brain installed as well as functioning limbs. Why he did this is a mystery only known to him. Why Skinhead brought a nuclear weapon with him on an invasion is also a mystery, as theoretically Nuke could destroy Audio Land and Skinhead’s invasion army along with it. He bragged during the invasion that he used his onboard computers to help eliminate the threat of the Audio Shield, but Audio Land scientists believe that was mere boasting.

Status: Audio Land has a zero tolerance policy for nuclear weapons. They safely destroyed Nuke by launching him into the sun.

Sally Fraufrau

Powers: Sally has no super powers, but has a powerful vacuum cleaner than can strip the flesh from a normal person’s bones.

History: Sally fell in love with Damien Fraufrau right out of high school and fell victim to his charm and money. When he began his anti-alien crusade she signed on simply to be with him. She allowed herself to believe he was fighting the good fight. Her arrest after the invasion of Audio Land convinced her that he never really cared about her.

Status: Sally Fraufrau is serving a life sentence. She was tried under Xtrapulonian law which holds Audio Land to be Xtrapulonian soil. She is awaiting extradition to Xtrapulon when the next ship arrives. The date of that arrival is a state secret.

Skinhead

Real Name: Damien Fraufrau

History: Damien was always the bully and got his kicks in his youth leading various gangs. He married Sally and immediately put her under his thumb. When he learned of the existence of Audio Land, an island full of aliens, he was outraged that their presence was tolerated by Earth’s governments. When he learned that Audio Land had “enslaved” two white Americans to serve as “puppet heroes” he decided he had put up with them long enough. He gained an army, and using money won in various shady poker deals obtained several tanks and other weapons. He also won a nuclear missile, which he equipped with artificial intelligence and locomotion. Using material given to him by the traitor, Cuddles, Damien (who had taken on the trappings of Skinhead) was able to protect his machines and Nuke from the Audio Shield. His invasion was a failure, however. He failed to anticipate the true power and dedication of the Heroes of Audio Land.

Status: Skinhead is serving a life sentence. He was tried under Xtrapulonian law which holds Audio Land to be Xtrapulonian soil. He is awaiting extradition to Xtrapulon when the next ship arrives. The date of that arrival is a state secret.
