Infinity Inc
Infinity Inc is the descendents and successors of the JSA. The were created
by Roy "Mr Nostalgia" Thomas and debuted in the pages of the All Star Squadron.
After the Crisis the book lost direction and soon disappeared, but while it was
going it did feature some nifty Roy Thomas writing (if you only know him from
Secret Defenders, you owe it to yourself to check out the back issue bins.
He did great work on Thor, All-Star Squadron, Invaders and Infinity Inc, to name
just a few). It also had some art by some guy called Todd McFarlane. I wonder
what ever happened to him?
Like most of Earth-2, these characters are pretty reasonable. A few would do just
fine in a 100pts + 125pts of disads starting campaign.

Note: When Brainwave senior died he transfered some of his power to his son.
It is not clear how much more powerful Henry Jr is now. I'd guesstimate that
his multipower and EC should be 1.5 or 2x as large now.

Dr Beth Chapel was blinded in a fire during the Crisis. After an operation
from Dr Mid-Nite she can see in the dark, but unlike him she cannot see in
the day by using special goggles. She is a reluctant super-heroine and spends
most of her time as Infinity Inc's resisdent doctor.
