Opening File: Comrade Red
The supervillain known as Comrade Red began his life as a young recruit in the Russian Army. Originally frail and weak, his strength and muscular physique were bestowed to him in a government experiment for creating super-soldiers, through extensive mental and physical augmentations via special medical treatments and exposure to a rare and dangerous compound that provided large amounts of power, rivaling even a nuclear reactor. The experiment resulted in him gaining increased mental function, superhuman strength, speed, stamina, reflexes, endurance, an invulnerability to damage that rivaled Major Glory's and even a form of radioactive power with none of the toxic effects. In addition, he gained enhanced healing abilities, augmented metabolism and enhanced physiological health that prevented him from naturally dying, either by age or disease or being killed by almost any means, giving him almost immortality.
Comrade Red quickly became the greatest soldier in the history of Russia and perhaps the world. However after the Soviet Union's collapse Comrade Red abandoned his country, becoming a rogue Huntsman and Russia's greatest traitor. He took a number of jobs including assassination, quickly becoming the greatest contract killer in the world. Despite this fearsome reputation Comrade Red had greater plans and eventually retired as a mercenary.
He eventually resurfaced as the leader of the Injustice Friends, seeking world domination and to restore the Soviet Union and has clashed many times with Major Glory who he considers the greatest enemy of his plans. Eventually he was contacted by Hector Con Carne and offered a place in Evil Con Carne. Comrade Red initially refused but Hector offered large amounts of money that would go a long way to financing the former soldier's plans and agreed, but on the condition that the Injustice Friends would be given full autonomy and answered only to him. Seeing no other alternative Hector agreed and gained a powerful ally in his plans for world domination.
To this day Comrade Red remains on the most powerful and deadliest of enemies to the Justice Friends, especially Major Glory.

Opening File: Callie Briggs
Calico 'Callie' Briggs is the Deputy Mayor of GrimmFall, a powerful Huntress and the sponsor of the SWAT Kats, being the only one who can contact them. Callie often handles the day to day dealings of City Hall, due to Mayor Phil Ken Sebben juggling the responsibilities of mayor and headmaster of Nevernest Academy so she helps shares as much of the work as she can. Callie Briggs is sweet, kind and independent, working day and night to promote equality between Humans, Faunus and Mobians. Her skills as a Huntress and politician are held in high regard by Sebben and the rest of her peers and she's not afraid of getting her hands dirty.
It is rumored that her ancestor was Queen Callista of the medieval kingdom of Megalith City, a Mobian kingdom that fell at the hands of the Grimm but it seems the royal family's bloodline survived and is perhaps stronger than ever. Queen Callista was said to have wielded magic in her time and used it to save her people when her kingdom was destroyed. If true than perhaps there is much more to Deputy Mayor Callie Briggs than meets the eye.

Opening Updated File: General Reginald Skarr
General Reginald Skarr is perhaps the most notorious of the Fallen that exist. As is typical of all Fallen, he was taken from his family at birth and raised among the Grimm. But in an interesting twist of Fate, he was also given a chance to work among the normal humans to further Sammael's cause by recruiting potential Fallen. After Dracon's well-known attempt to save a Fallen child from being taken by Grimm, it was decided to try and recruit those kinds of children through more subtle methods rather than outright stealing the babies. Such actions were sure to attract more Hunters to the scene, whereas subtle methods would be less obvious, and therefore less likely to draw attention from Hunters the world over.
Skarr was sent to a military school where he showed himself to be the top of his class. He graduated with high marks and was assigned to the US Army's First Division for a few years before he was found out. He was summarily discharged and forced to wander the country, trying to beg and steal to live. As a Fallen, his powers are great, but his most devastating is his Semblance.
He has been the most successful in recruiting Fallen to Sammael's side. One ability that makes him a threat is his skill in sensing others through their souls, as Dracon reported Skarr being able to sniff him out despite not possessing an Aura or Semblance. Theories abound as to how it's possible and as to whether other Fallen possess the same kind of ability. But so far no data has come forth to support this theory.
General Skarr was later reported to have begun his evolution into the Noble Class, the second stage for when a Fallen masters their Grimm based instincts to kill and fully embrace their heritage, when he was injured in battle against Dracon and Scotty Blake. It is now believed that Skarr has now evolved into a Noble Class Fallen and will be a stronger, more powerful enemy in future encounters. In addition to mastering his instincts, Skarr's Fallen physiology will enhance his speed and strength above that of a fully trained Hunter and will even enhance his already formidable Semblance to the point it is possible not even strong willed individuals will be able to resist.
Extreme caution must be exercised when approaching this Fallen.

"Soldiers are the first and often the last line of defense in times of war. Say what you will about the weapons, big and small, it is the hand of the soldier that points and uses them. Trained to fight and die for their country soldiers are prepared to do everything, even commit the ultimate sacrifice." TOM lectured as the file closed. "Dying in the name of their country and for the love of their people. Some of the bravest people in history were soldiers and their sacrifices are still honored no matter how much time has passed."

"Major Doctor Ghastly, what is your status?"
"We are moving the bomb into position."
"Good. If Blight fails to destroy the major on his own the bomb, combined with the radiation, will blow up all of GrimmFall, eliminating it, Nevernest Academy and every major hero and hunter still in the city."
The doctor signed off, sighing to herself as she got to work. "Right, Chief."
This was her job.
Planting a bomb underneath the mall, close enough to Duke Nukem that when it explodes, the radiation powered mutant will be caught in the blast and cause another explosion big enough to wipe GrimmFall off the face of the Earth.
All part of her beloved boss's plan to destroy the Justice Friends.
"You better hurry, Doctor." The calm voice of her current partner, General Reginald Skarr stated. "Wouldn't want to disappoint our great leader."
He had been hired to be the sergeant of Hector's army, recognizing him as a skilled soldier and a skilled tactician which is exactly what Hector needed to run his army.
Still, Major Doctor Ghastly could not say she entirely trusted the general.
"I can do this. I can do this." Ghastly looked down at the bomb before her, placed carefully enough in the underground parking lot. "And when I do, the Chief's reputation will be solid."
"We'll see about that."
Eyes widening, Doctor Ghastly and Skarr spun around and spotted a cat Mobian with long blond hair and dressed in a magenta colored battle dress that looked to be from another era stepping out of the shadows along with...
"I know you. You are the Deputy Mayor of GrimmFall." Skarr narrowed his eye. "And Phil Ken Sebben. I suspected you would anticipate our attack. No wonder enemies like the White Tiger, Capital G and even the Infrangible Krunk were here when Hector's sources said the Justice Friends were out on other missions."
"General Reginald Skarr." Sebben retorted just as coldly to Skarr. "I suspected you would be here. No doubt slipping back into your role as a soldier, only it seems like you've sold your loyalty to the wrong side this time."
"No, I am just playing the role I was always meant to play." Skarr smirked as he aimed his rifle at Sebben. "And I suspect Sammael will be pleased to hear I killed the famous Phil Ken Sebben, wielder of Sight."
No words were needed Skarr finished his sentence, pulling the trigger of his rifle and fired a Dust shard at Sebben who pulled out a small rod that extended into a bo-staff and spun it in one hand, deflecting it back at Skarr. The shard exploded, encasing the Fallen in ice but only for a mere second. Skarr's purple Aura flared and shattered the ice.
"Your master obviously never told you about what to expect from me." Sebben stated.
Skarr growled, his rifle shifting into its broadsword form. "Fine. I prefer to do this up close and personal anyways."
Skarr lashed out with his blade, clashing with Sebben. Spinning his staff in his hand Sebben expertly parried Skarr's strikes and landed a good hit on Skarr's face, forcing the Fallen back. Skarr recovered, snarling as his eye flashed red as his broken nose instantly recovered.
"So you have evolved to the next level." Sebben noted. "A Noble Class Fallen."
"Yes." Skarr grinned. "Just another step to reaching my full potential."
Skarr lashed out again, clashing with Sebben again. The mayor of GrimmFall quickly changed up his fighting style, becoming random and unpredictable which surprised Skarr but the Fallen was not going down without a fight.
In the meantime the deputy mayor of GrimmFall faced down Hector Con Carne's top scientist.
"Andedonia J. Ghastly, a mad scientist drop out who threw her lot in with a bunch of criminal psychopaths." Callie Briggs replied, stopping just a few feet away. "Step away from the bomb."
Ghastly narrowed her eyes. "Or what? You think I'm afraid of some pencil pushing kitty cat?"
"Actually," Briggs adjusted her glasses and smirked. "I am a pencil pushing kitty cat who is here with friends."
"What?"
"You think we didn't know about your plan? We saw this attack coming and planned accordingly in case you were actually stupid enough to go through with it." Briggs explained. "You hired that little idiot called Control Freak to build you a warp gate so you could sneak the Injustice Friends in and try to take out Major Glory."
"H-How did-" Ghastly stuttered in surprise.
"There's a reason why Phil Ken Sebben is the mayor of GrimmFall and headmaster of Nevernest Academy. Needless to say he's got a lot of sources and friends that help him in matters like this." Briggs answered smugly. "That's why there are some last minute guests to the party your boss is throwing upstairs."
Ghastly reached down and tried to grab the bomb, planning to activate it.
"Stop!" Briggs called out and her eyes flared.
Her Aura, which matched the color of her seafoam green colored eyes flared around her and took the form of a glowing spectral tiger that pounced on Ghastly, pinning her down.
"What in the-" Ghastly grunted, struggling to break free.
"Good luck with that." Briggs walked over to the bomb and conjured a hawk that picked it up and flew back at its creator, allowing her to absorb it back into her as she took the bomb. "My Semblance allows me to conjure any form of animal I choose and they are as solid as the real ones they mimic. I wouldn't try fighting as it would-"
Ghastly suddenly punched the tiger and it exploded.
"Blow up as they disperse." Briggs finished, covering her eyes for a second.
The remains of the tiger she created flew back into her, reintegrating back into her Aura. Ghastly stood up, her body only slightly singed despite the blast happening at point blank range.
"You thought you had me beat because you can make animals?" Ghastly wiped some dust off herself. "Apparently you didn't know about my own Semblance. Here's a hint; I can either be invulnerable or untouchable."
Narrowing her eyes, Briggs conjured two green glowing wolves that lunged at Ghastly but she held her hands out and they…passed through her. "Invulnerability or intangibility? You say your Semblance allows you to choose between either?"
"Well, I'd like to say it is that simple." Ghastly chuckled as the wolves circled around her. "I guess my love of science is what shaped my Semblance into what it is. It allows me to alter the density of my body at the molecular level that gives me…A whole lot of useful abilities. Like so."
She suddenly became invisible, alarming Briggs who looked around for any sign of her.
"I'll be taking this back." Ghastly became visible with a blue Aura surrounding her, grabbing the wrist of the hand holding the bomb and quickly slugged Briggs in the face, knocking her down while grabbing the bomb back. "That Semblance of yours drains your Aura when you create your animal friends, doesn't it?"
Briggs grunted, wiping some blood away from her lip as she glared at the evil scientist. "And what's the limit of yours?"
"Care to guess?" Ghastly smirked, raising her foot to crush Briggs.
Suddenly a glowing snake shot out from Briggs and slammed right into Ghastly's face, exploding on contact and launching her several feet away. "I think I just did."
She stood up, watching as Ghastly held a hand to her face and the burn marks she gained from the blast healed quickly, thanks to her Semblance.
"You can only use one form of your Semblance at a time, making a choice between invulnerably solid or intangible." Briggs surmised. "Pretty impressive."
Ghastly charged at Briggs, bringing a fist back and then launched it at the deputy mayor who ducked, grabbing the fist and threw the mad doctor over her shoulder, slamming her into the ground. Ghastly remained unharmed as she kicked up, missing Briggs' head as she jumped back up. Spinning around Ghastly launched a series of jabs at Briggs who nimbly dodged and followed up with slashes from her clawed hands mixed with kicks. She dropped and launched her feet up, upper cutting Ghastly and following with the few more slashes before throwing her to the ground.
Ghastly however shrugged it off, thanks to her Semblance giving her invulnerability and launched a fist at Briggs who blocked and immediately countered with a kick that knocked her back. Ghastly stepped back, her Aura flaring and then started to shimmer, switching her from solid to intangible for a few seconds before she regained control.
"So that's the weakness of your Semblance. You can only stay invulnerable or intangible for a short time before you lose control." Briggs noted. "The ability to alter your molecular density is a powerful one but I suspect that you can only control it for so long, and that control is essential. Lose focus for even a second and…let's just say I don't want to be in your shoes if you're intangible when that happens."
"Control won't be an issue for me." Ghastly said, "And neither will be dealing with you."
"Funny, I was thinking the same about you." Briggs then glanced up and whistled.
A shadow fell over Ghastly, who looked up and gasped as she saw a spider far larger than any typical specimen of its kind detached from the ceiling and plunged towards her. On instinct she gave a scream and dove out of the way in time to avoid being flattened, but the oversized arachnid pursued.
"Don't like spiders?" Briggs asked, arms crossed and wearing an unimpressed look. "How am I not surprised?"
Ghastly turned about and slid to a halt, altering her density as she reared back one fist. "Get BACK!" She swung and punched through the conjured spider's form…right down into the floor which shattered beneath her, opening up to the level below and sending the scientist plummeting. She managed to reach out and grab the edge of the breach with one hand only to find herself phasing through the handhold and falling.
Briggs raced to the edge of the hole and looked down to see Ghastly sinking into the floor far below like it was made of quicksand. The scientist was trying to bring her abilities back under control, but trying to calm down while sinking into solid ground was easier said than done. Briggs leapt down and tried to grab hold of one of Ghastly's flailing hands.
"You have to stay solid!" She shouted. "Focus! Become solid!"
It was only a second later that she realized she'd been taken in by Ghastly's 'helpless' routine.
"Oh, I know." Ghastly's hand locked around Briggs' wrist before her other came up in a vicious uppercut that knocked the Huntress off her feet. "Nice trick with the spider, but you stop feeling afraid of them after a few dissection courses in high school." She rose back up out of the concrete floor and walked towards the prone form of the Deputy Mayor. "Now, I'm on a bit of a timetable so why don't we finish this nice and quick?"
With that she leapt into the air and, in mid-leap, altered her density to the point that she plummeted with a weight exceeding a solid ton. At the last possible second Briggs was pulled out of the way by an elephant she summoned which used its trunk to sweep her out of danger. Ghastly impacted feet-first and send a spider web of cracks in all directions. Before she could regain her balance the elephant swung its trunk back around and hit her in the side as she began to switch back to being intangible just half a second too slow.
The blow sent Ghastly sailing across the parking lot until she hit a pillar and slid to the floor.
Briggs climbed to her feet and smoothed out her uniform. "Again, I was thinking the same thing." She looked down at the unmoving form of Dr. Ghastly and shook her head. "You could have had a real future, but you gave it up for a brain in a jar."
Speaking of which…there were still plenty of super villains upstairs to be taken care of and a Fallen that Sebben was currently dealing with.

"Ghastly? Ghastly, what's going on down there?!" Hector demanded, noticing that Ghastly had yet to set the bomb.
Things were not looking good.
He did not expect Capital G, White Tiger, Action Hank and the Infraggible Krunk to show up. Sure when he found out a member of the O'Reilly family was here he decided to a ransom was just an unexpected bonus but things were falling out of place now. The Injustice Friends were dealing with three top heroes, a Huntsman with military training and several more Hunters causing trouble and messing up a simple plan to destroy the world's greatest hero.
"Things not going to according to plan?"
Comrade Red's own attitude was not helping either.
"Feel free to do something about it." Hector retorted, glaring at the red clad man.
"If we had done things my way it would have been over by now." Comrade Red rolled his eyes. "You relied on a pudgy little boy's technology for warp and holographic technology to try and sneak on the hope that the rest of GrimmFall was distracted. Look how well that has turned out for you. Relying on a radioactive brainless brute to do the job that countless have failed to do? Are you paying to kill the major or be entertained by your hair brained scheme? "
Hector's dome glowed green and bubbled. "Red, if I didn't need you for this I would have you disintegrated where you stand."
Comrade Red simply smirked. "You'd be welcome to try."
An arrow shot at Red but he easily deflected it with his sickle. Elodie prepared another arrow but Comrade Red didn't give her the chance as he charged at her, swinging his sickle which she barely dodged, losing only a few strands of hair. She fired another arrow that he swatted away with his hammer.
"You have been trained well." Comrade Red noted as he charged at her, swinging his sickle which she dodged.
However she had the bad feeling that he was only toying with her. Still, she had no intention of being defeated by this villain and prepared another arrow.
"I see determination in your eyes but no creativity." Comrade Red said, slicing though the next arrow she fired with complete ease.
He was upon, swinging his hammer to knock her bow out of her hands and slashed at her with his sickle. Elodie jumped back, barely avoiding the slash to her mid-section. Her Aura had managed to block the blade but if she had been a second too slow she might have critically wounded. Without her bow and arrows she was forced to rely on her combat skills in hand to hand which were sad to say useless compared to an opponent like Comrade Red.
"How sad." Comrade Red turned away. "To see this is what P.O.I.N.T.'s so called top student has to offer. Clearly their standards are not very high and only have succeeded in wasting my time."
Elodie growled and jumped to grab her bow but that had been the plan all along. Comrade Red spun around and slashed his sickle at her.
CLANG!
Elodie had been saved from what had been certain death as something shot out and collided with Red's sickle as he used it to block the incoming projectile. It turned out be a black shuriken and the two watched as a black armored figure wearing a cloak and mask stepped out of the shadows.
Comrade Red smirked. "Ah, the so-called Mysterion. Finally, I might have a challenge."
"Be careful what you wish for." Mysterion spoke in a deep electronic voice.
Comrade Red immediately lashed out with his sickle and hammer but Mysterion managed to block them with all with his armored gauntlets. The vigilante fought back, utilizing punches and kicks that Red either blocked or dodged.
"I see you have at least some form of training." Red admitted, blocking a fist with his hammer. "But I have more than enough training and experience to deal with the likes of you."
"They all say that." Mysterion retorted coldly and stepped back as he threw an orb at Red.
The veteran soldier easily sliced it in two but it released a white gas that covered him. He looked around, feeling his eyes burning.
"A chemical obviously meant to temporarily blind me." Comrade Red observed, fighting the instinct to rub his stinging eyes. "Clever."
His body started to glow, enveloping the white fog surrounding him in an eerie red glow.
"But not enough."
He thrust his arms out and a shockwave of red energy exploded out from him, blasting away the gas along with Mysterion and Elodie. They both flew into the wall and slammed so hard they left cracks as they slid down.
"My body was enhanced through a combination of medical treatments and exposure to dangerous compound with the power of a nuclear reactor but none of the hazardous effects." Comrade Red stepped forward, the red glow around him vanishing. "There has only ever been one equal to my might in this world."
And it was the very one he had come to kill.
"Want to bet?"
Comrade Red spun around, blocking a slash from Tina Matthews. "Tina Matthews, wife of the famed Dragon of Denver. You were among the list of targets. The one thing the brain got right."
Spinning his hammer and sickle in his hands Red engaged Tina in combat, Tina using her rapier to block Comrade Red's slashes and dodge the ones she couldn't block. Comrade Red lashed out with his weapons but Tina had the chilling feeling that he was actually holding back. Her form glowed green as her Semblance kicked in and she redirected his sickle with her sword before kicking at his ankles and then at his face as hard as she could.
Comrade Red flew back a few feet but easily recovered as he stood up, smirking at her. "That is right. Your Semblance enhances your speed and strength far above that of a fully trained Huntsman that has mastered Aura control. Truly impressive but…" Comrade Red suddenly vanished and reappeared right in front of Tina, surprising her with his amazing speed. "Not enough."
He grabbed her and threw her into a wall with enough force she crashed right through it.
"Now it is time for me to finish what I started." Comrade Red turned to the hole where Major Glory had gone down with Hector's pet radioactive beast. "Comrades, finish your opponents off and then leave. I will deal with Major Glory."
He jumped down the hole, grinning at the chance to face down his greatest opponent again.
