Champion - Salvo
Real Identity: Unknown
Nationality: Spanish
Background
Salvo came to public attention in the early nineties when he single handedly foiled an attempted hijacking of an American Airlines flight in Barcelona in a spectacular shootout captured by a local news crew. His dark, rugged good looks and predilection for leather jackets and motorcycles soon earned him a wide following and several large fan clubs. Movie director John Woo, who became a close personal friend, would later base many of his film’s characters on the reclusive superhero.
Salvo joined the Council of Champions in 1993 following a joint request from the Spanish Prime Minister and the UN Secretary General . His phenomenal reflexes and impressive skill with firearms helped the Champions to defeat crazed super-archaeologist Dr. Dungeon later that year. His relationship with the Champions, particularly leader Captain Hope, was often reported to be strained and he was the first to quit the group following the now infamous Stockholm incident.
In recent years
Little is known about Salvo’s recent activities. In 1998 he was acquitted of wounding a tabloid reporter who trespassed on his sprawling Nevada Ranch. Following the Madrid train bombings of 2004 he returned to Spain to assist with the investigation.
In the High Price of Spandex...
Salvo was trying to come to terms with his recent alcohol addiction following a whirlwind romance, Vegas wedding and messy divorce, which had left him broke.
In November Falling...
Salvo was back on his feet (barely) and encouraging Daniel to misbehave whenever possible.

Champion - Ground Zero
Real Identity: Unknown
Nationality: American
Background
Ground Zero is a former wrestler and was a founding member of the Council of Champions in 1991, and was critical to the group’s early efforts to put an end to Iron Cross’ four-year reign of terror in former East Germany and Poland. He gained a high profile for his fiery temper, which notoriously led to involuntary instances of explosive combustion. After devastating several luxury penthouse suites during the mid 1990’s the Champions were barred from most leading hotel chains when travelling abroad.
Despite his volatile temper Ground Zero is a key member of the Champions. His phenomenal strength and combat prowess have been the downfall of many villains and his explosive ability is often the groups ace-in-the-hole.
In recent years
Ground Zero has worked tirelessly with many charities, brining aid to war ravaged parts of the world. He was appointed a UN special Ambassador in 1999 and worked extensively to combat poverty in Africa and Eastern Europe. Following the attacks in New York on September 11 2001, Ground Zero returned to America and worked tirelessly to extract survivors from the site of the fallen towers. Earlier this year Ground Zero was appointed a commissioner of the Terror Alert task force, designed to inform the American public of terror threats and the current alert status.
In The High Price of Spandex...
Ground Zero hoped to heal the rift between Captain Hope and Salvo. He also wanted to tell the Champions about Stacey Claybourne, a fantastic girl he had met at the gym.
In November Falling...
Ground Zero realised that reporter Stacey Claybourne was a Supervillain known as Other Woman. He was deeply embarrassed by this revelation.

Champion - Professor Eternity
Real Identity: Elizabeth Cartwright
Nationality: English
Background
Professor Eternity began her career sometime around 1860 after the death of her father, who bequeathed his London house and workshop to her. She soon proved herself an inventor of extraordinary talent, but was shunned by the great minds of her time because it was considered unseemly for a woman to pursue such activities.
Ignoring the society which would not appreciate her talent Professor Eternity immersed herself in her work. Around 1870 she created arguably her most brilliant invention, the Bodice of Multitudinous Function, which rendered her immune to aging, disease, poison and many other hazards.
Reclusive and often frustrated with both society and national governments the Eternal Professor remained a national treasure, who emerged from her workshop from time to time during the passing decades. She joined the Council of Champions in 1992 employing a range of fantastic devices to fight Redhawk, a villain from the future following a request by Queen Elizabeth II.
In recent years
There have been few sightings of Professor Eternity, although it is rumoured that in 1997 she produced a device, on commission, that led to the development of the modern cellular phone.
In The High Price of Spandex...
Professor Eternity revealed to Captain Hope that he had a son, Daniel. Eternity's unexpected pregnancy was the reason that she left the Council, and she has been secretly raising Daniel in England for the past 6 years.
In November Falling...
While preparing for marriage to Captain Hope, Professor Eternity struggled to reconcile Daniel's involvement in dangerous missions with his natural curiosity and fathers wish for his son to learn how to become a 'hero'.
