=== Description ===
+
01 => High Pain Tolerance ==> 3xHeal
Born in 1971, Gage was born into the UHoA's psychic development program. Designed to bring highly tuned psychics into he world genetically, the program yielded over 40 highly gifted psychics who could manipulate matter and thoughts as easily as most people can ride a bicycle.
+
  
Gage progressed through the field as a psychic, and although he is not the most powerful, he quickly rose through the ranks of the UHoA as a field agent and finally reached the rank of Chief. Along with his son, Jorin, Gage has brought the UHoA public and has kept all of the covenants of the organization true even after their exposure with the invasion of the Rikti hordes.

02 => Haymaker ==> 1xAcc,1xEndCost,3xDam,1xRech
Marcus Cole, aka Statesman, began his transformation from a poverty born child to world hero after serving in the U.S. Army during World War I. Instead of coming home in 1918 he headed east, bent on exploring the world now that he'd had a taste of it. Where he went and what happened to him during that lost decade remains a secret to all but Statesman's most trusted friends. What is no secret is that when his ship pulled into [[Paragon City]] port in 1931 he was much more than the young private who had shipped out to fight for freedom in Europe.

+
'''Statesman''' is one of the first heroes of Paragon City.  He is the leader of the [[Freedom Phalanx]] as well as one of the co-founders. 
+
  
Instead of coming home in 1918, Marcus went in search of the fabled Well of the Furies.  During the war, he had been exposed to Mustard Gas and become ill.  He knew that he would prematurely die if he did not find the Well.  Friends from his unit joined him in his search including Marcus's best friend, Stephan Richter. They became mercenaries trying to help Marcus find more information on where the Well of the Furies was and how to unlock its power. They were eventually successful and both Marcus and Stephan drank from the Fountain of Zeus within the Well of the Furies, giving them super powers.  They would turn out very differently however, as Marcus became Statesman and Stephan became his mortal enemy, [[Lord Recluse]].
+
06 => Air Superiority ==> 2xAcc,1xEndCost
  
Upon his return to Paragon City, Cole claimed to have unlocked the power of his own "Inner Will", an obscure explanation at best. While not his true origin, it was undeniable that Cole possessed something that hadn't been seen since the age of the Greek Heroes: superpowers. Cole was strong beyond human limits and impervious to fists, knives, and even bullets. However he'd come by these powers, Cole now found a cause to which he could apply them: saving his beloved Paragon City from itself. The would-be hero took on the name Statesman, an identity that personified all the values and ideals that Paragon City currently lacked.
+
08 => Knockout Blow ==> 1xAcc,1xEndCost,3xDam,1xRech
  
Statesman went after crime head on. Going after gang bosses, corrupt politicians, and other lowlifes with a vengeance. His costume allowed him to hide from police while still leave behind an indelible impression on the city's populace. In a few short months he had begun to make a difference. But his initial successes only served to unite the city's criminals against him. The tide began to turn when out of nowhere another costumed hero appeared in the city: the [[Dark Watcher]]. Soon after others appeared: [[Elementar]], [[Vambrace]], [[Maiden Justice]], and others. Extraordinary men and women, inspired by Statesman's example, were rising to meet the challenge.
+
10 => Indomitable Will ==> 3xDefBuff,1xEndCost
  
On July 4th, 1932, Statesman collected these new heroes under the banner of the [[Freedom Phalanx]]. The group battled together throughout the 1930s, taking down numerous criminal operations, including the gangs ruling [[Kings Row]]. Statesman's successes led to the Crime Fighting Act of 1937, which made the Freedom Phalanx a legally recognized crime fighting organization.
+
12 => Swift ==> 1xFlight
  
When Axis forces attacked Paragon City in 1941, Statesman and the Freedom Phalanx were at the forefront of a heroic effort to push back these invaders. The heroes then traveled to Europe, where they fought alongside the [[Dawn Patrol]] and other super-powered soldiers for the freedom of the world. On D-Day, Statesman and his allies became engaged in a violent battle over the beaches of Normandy. Due largely to his heroic efforts, the Axis forces were eventually pushed back, allowing the Allies to move into France. Unfortunately, Statesman was terribly wounded during this battle and remained crippled for the remainder of the war. This did not keep him completely out of the fight, however: the day after Hitler's suicide, Statesman planned what would be a final assault on the Storm Korps headquarters and one of the last superhuman battles in WWII's European theater (now known as the "Battle of the Black Forest"). The Allied heroes captured most of the Storm Korps, signaling an end to paranormal hostilities in Europe.
+
14 => Fly ==> 2xFlight
  
Unfortunately, Statesman had little time to rest after the victory in Europe. Back in the United States, the villain known as [[Nemesis (Archvillain)|Nemesis]] had reappeared, capturing most of Washington DC and forcing the Chief Justice to declare him Emperor of the Americas. Immediately, Statesman led the Freedom Phalanx and many other heroes back to the States to challenge Nemesis. They discovered that his terrifying plot included planting nerve gas bombs throughout at least twenty American cities. With the aid of Dr. Mnemonic and [[Sister Psyche]], the heroes eventually created an antidote to the nerve gas and vanquished Nemesis and his robot hordes.
+
16 => Rise to the Challenge ==> 3xHeal,1xEndCost
  
Statesman has remained active since World War II, with each decade bringing forth new foes and challenges. In 1976, he was nearly killed by a Soviet tactical nuclear missile while trying to rescue a downed American pilot. During the 1980s, he joined the Freedom Phalanx on expeditions into alternate dimensions and eventually battled the [[Reichsman]], an evil version of himself from a reality where America had lost to Nazi Germany. After the fall of Communism, Statesman served as an adviser to the first independent Russian hero group, the Valiant Defenders of the Motherland, which made its appearance in 1993.
+
18 => Rage ==> 3xRech
  
And, of course, in 2002, Statesman rallied all other known heroes in an attempt to repel the [[Rikti]] invasion. During the initial conflicts, Statesman hurled his body into Rikti craft, destroying the landing ships before they could release their soldiers. He was one of the few heroes who survived these early confrontations, and was later appointed to the United Nations' [[Vanguard]] superhuman response team as a member of its "Elite Five." At the climax of the war, Statesman led a group of over a thousand heroes from around the globe on a frontal assault of Rikti troop concentrations. The battle took the lives of 800 heroes, although Statesman again escaped death. Despite the high toll, this assault was simply a diversion to allow a second, much smaller team of heroes to enter the Rikti's home dimension and destroy the energy source that powered the invaders' dimensional portals. The combined efforts of Statesman's so-called [[Alpha Team]] and the second, [[Omega Team]] provided Earth's first major victory against the Rikti.
+
20 => Quick Recovery ==> 3xEndMod
  
Statesman is one of the few established heroes left alive and it is believed that he continues to lead a version of the Freedom Phalanx, which presumably includes other members of the "[[Surviving Eight]]" - eight prominent heroes who escaped the Rikti invasion with their lives. He also retains his post among the Vanguard's Elite Five.
+
22 => Mind Over Body ==> 3xDamRes,1xEndCost
  
Statesman's sidekick is his granddaughter, Megan Duncan, who is also known as [[Ms. Liberty]].  A fully-fledged hero in her own right, Ms. Liberty has taken up the mantle of her grandmother, [[Maiden Justice]], and mother, [[Miss Liberty]].  She leads the [[Vindicators]] and formed a military division of [[Freedom Corps]] named [[Longbow]].

''Main Article:'' [[Jorin Endal]]
+
 
+
The only child of Gage Endal, Jorin is one of the most powerful psychics on the planet. His mother, Megan was drained of all of her memories while he was in her womb, a side effect of the power of his minds development. The moment he was born he gazed into his fathers eyes and let it be known that he was aware of him.
+
 
+
He was instantly admitted into the United Heroes of America as it's obviously youngest member in history.
+
 
+
Jorin developed in his powers at an extraordinary rate. Before he could physically speak, he was able to communicate his emotions and basic thoughts to those around him, causing his need to speak to be dramatically lessened. By the time he was five, Jorin was being invited to join his father in field operations as a very junior agent. Ironically, it was Jorin who would often complete the missions long before his father had even discovered what was going on around him. It was through this ability that his father had risen in the ranks so quickly, on the shoulders of his toddler son.
+
 
+
The existence of Jorin was not revealed to the world at all until shortly after the Rikti invasion. He had been working closely with the Midnight Squad to combat the invading Rikti when a news team came on the scene. The Rikti turned on the group of civilians and Jorin instantly threw himself in their way, holding the Rikti off and projecting immense power at them, destroying their weapons as they came and literally lobotomizing them as they came into range of his telekinetic powers. After this event, the news group insisted on his identity, he replied only with his first name and then put the illusion that he was no longer there in their minds.
+
 
+
Jorin was not seen again until nearly five months later when the United Heroes of America became fully public. The Rikti had been working to destroy the Terra Volta Power Plant and they were the first on the scene. The group of 40 super powered individuals held off the Rikti forces that numbered in the hundreds of thousands on their own for over four hours, the focal point of the resistance was the Endal family, Jorin's fields of energy protected the bulk of the reactor core, making it impossible for the Rikti to enter while his father and uncle blocked three of the doors entering the reactor core. It must be said though that without the entire force of the UHoA that the entire Endal family would be lost now with the Terra Volta reactor.

When I live in Russia, I work in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spetsnaz#Russian_army_special_forces Spetsnaz]. While there we are volunteered for Super Soldier Program. Do I get Super Strength? No. Do I get Super Speed? No. Do I become invulnerable to bullets? No. I never age. I will be 4,000 years old, I look this good. But it no matter, we still work for Spetsnaz strike team. Then Iron Curtain fall, Mother Russia econimy collapse, we no get paid, we go to Paragon.
+
 
+
We try to be good citizens, we open businesses. I open the bar, my Lieutenant Ursula, she open a Hair Dressing Salon, Draco, he open a Gymnasium.
+
 
+
Hellions burn down my bar, Skulls blow up the Salon, and the Clockwvork steal all weights to make more clockwork. First time this happen, we use insurance to rebuild and go back into business. Second time this happen, we become... how do you say this? Pissed off? Yes, pissed off.
+
 
+
We begin to fight criminals the Spetsnaz way, we break their legs. Then we leave them neked in park for police to pick up. While enjoyable, this not as entertaining as it was in Syberia.
+
 
+
Unfortunately, this draw attention of old foe. F.B.I. Unbeknownst to me, my Lieutenant is second cousin to member of FBI. A Mr. Gage Endal, who runs special division of FBI. The United Heroes of America, very strange name, not fear invoking, like Spetsnaz. So now my life has come full circle, but with twist. Instead of being hunted by FBI, I hunt with FBI.
