MD0075 - Half-Life. Identity: Isaiah Carpenter. Successful induction of Megaton-Level Nuclear Power in 1962 as part of the Jupiter Program (>TEC MC0008). Deserted EMBER in 1964 and threatened the nation as a major supervillian until 1973, when he stopped an Annihilation-Class threat from USSR’s Red Comet (>MET USSR0053). Half-Life and Red Comet then worked together to begin the White Peace (>ORG ER0584), a global superhero alliance that undercut EMBER and the nation’s power. Half-Life eventually left the White Peace and became an independent hero, retired but acting against major threats like the Mican Invasion (>ALI PR0005).
INT BE0032 - Torch. Identity: Leo Almeida. Young fire-powered superhero who joined the Beacons in 2024 after working in Stanley Briggs’ (>GOV SC8911) superhero team in 2023. Youngest official member of the Beacons, not including the former Beacon Cadet Program (>INT DF0320). Died in Menagerie's attack on 03/30/2025 (>EVE XC1086).
