He joined the military and became a skilled soldier, eventually becoming a general. General Synge oversaw an experiment to recreate the serum that created the Super Soldier (Cpt. America + Superman), using convicts as guinea pigs; Luke Everett, who repented his crimes in prison, was one of these test subjects, and Willis was fearful that he would reveal his dirty secrets, so he sabotage the experiment to kill Luke. Luke survived and discovered his latent super-powers, and he swore vengeance against Willis for killing the other subjects with his sabotage. As the superhero known as “Amazing Power” (Luke Cage as “Power Man” + Amazing-Man II), Luke investigated Willis Synge's corruption and discovered that he secretly took control of a criminal gang to fight against the hero.

Real Name: “Grigori”
Alias: Fool Maker
Biography: Grigori is the only known identification of a Russian man who was trained in the ways of stealth and assassination by his father. After his father's death, Grigori enlisted into the deadly cabal known as the League of the Hand (The Hand + The League of Assassins), where he became renowned ninja mercenary known as Fool Maker (he mostly spoke Russian, though, so his name was often mistranslated into “Dummy Maker”). Scout and Richard Shang (Shang-Chi + Richard Dragon) investigated a break in at a laboratory, and battled Fool Maker, accidentally killing him with the chemicals he was hired to steal.
Months later, the hero Iron Bat (Iron Man + Batman) heard that his enemies, Joe Fixit & The Ventriloquist (Joe Fixit + The Ventriloquist & Scarface), had returned, but since he was busy with a more important case, he hired the Seven Soldiers for Hire to investigate these rumors. Joe Fixit, the merciless crime-boss personality that controls the mild-mannered Ventriloquist, hired several mercenaries, including the resurrected Fool Maker, for a nefarious scheme, but it was soon revealed that it was Fool Maker himself manipulating these events. After being ressurected by the LotH, Grigori decided to embrace his nickname of Dummy Maker and master a lost ninja art that allows him to steal souls and turns them into his living puppet minions. He brought back their collective soul and made it into his puppet slaves so that it seemed that Joe Fixit and The Vnetriloquist were back to no good. Dummy Maker tried to take revenge on Scout for his first death with this scheme but failed, retreating to fight another day

Jagged Spider:
Amalgamation Of: Jagged Bow + Alias the Spider
Real Name: Lucas Emberlin
Biography: When the Seven Soldiers for Hire were first formed after the vanishing of the Justice Avengers and other major heroes after the Imperislaught crisis (Onslaught + Imperiex), the evil Green Skull (Red Skull + Lex Luthor) formed a team of super-assassins to serve him, thus creating the Secret Syndicate (Sinister Syndicate + Secret Six). The Skull had little-to-no faith in these clowns, so he rehired a mercenary known as Bloodmaster (Taskmaster + Bloodsport) to train six new operatives to replace his Secret Syndicate if they began dying on their missions. One of these up-and-comingvillains was Lucas Emberlin, whose Native-American stepfather was a vigilante during the Golden Age of Justice known as the Jagged Spider. Lucas killed his father and took on his archery weapons to become the new Jagged Spider, but this time as a criminal in the guise of a hero. New and eager to use his skills, Lucas was caught with his pants down by a real hero known as the Crimson Witness (Witness + Crimson Avenger), one of the Seven Soldiers for Hire. Jagged Bow, trained in the archery skills Bloodmaster copied from Hawk Arrow (Hawkeye + Green Arrow), another Justice Avenger, was ready to prove himself once again. Bloodmaster was still miffed at his boss, the Green Skull, for shutting off his weapons system in a previous gig, leaving him vulnerable to the heroes he fought, so he decided to test his students by sending them after the Green Skull at the estate of his rich civilian identity, Lex Schmidt. The SsfH intervened, knowing not that Mr. Schmidt was one of Earth's most dangerous criminal masterminds. Jagged Spider's new skills made him an equal to the Crimson Witness's marksmanship, but the hero defeated Lucas by shooting him in the eye. He survived and the other villains were defeated. Jagged Spider returned to claim vengeance by sinking a ship with the hero onboard. The dead hero's soul possessed his recovered handguns, empowering a woman named Jill Kohler (Nelson Kohler + Jill Carlyle) and making her into the new Crimson Witness.
Powers: Superhuman aim/speed/agility/stamina/reflexes; bow and arrow set; martial arts and stealth skills; concealed back-up weapons.

Old Dragon:
Amalgamation Of: Old Man + Dragon King
Real Name: Unknown
Biography: The Star Cross (Star Brand + Starman legacy) is a power as old, as wise, and as mighty as the universe itself; a sentient form of zero-point energy that is as miniscule as a molecule and as forceful and durable as a million supernovas. Some say it occurred as a freak occurrence, others say it was a creation of the Presence-Above-All himself, but any way you slice it, the Star Cross willingly merges itself with biological entities it deems worthy of having the power for the sake of maintaining the metaphysical balance between order and chaos. A human who once wielded the Star Cross, Ken Knight (Ken Connell + Ted Knight), believed he was the first human to use the power, but he would later learn, after passing on the power, that he was wrong.
The first was actually a member of an ancient Japanese clan from hundreds of years ago, who brought peace and unity to all clans under the emperor of Japan, but his heart was corrupted by the power he wielded and began a campaign of terror to place all beneath his thumb. He didn't understand that the Star Cross was a sentient being seeking balance, so when it tried to leave him, the warrior tried to forcefully bind the power to a sword so that no-one else can have it. The Star Cross fought back, bringing forth a flash of white light that radiated over the entire planet. The light erased the memories of the Star Cross from the minds of all who knew of it, even the tiniest bit; it is also possible that it jump-started the slow-but-certain evolution of humans into metamutants (mutants + metahumans). But the man didn't forget the power, and his addiction to it made him mad. An ancient force of evil known as the Black Dragon (Dragon of the Moon + Black Adam) bestowed a fraction of it's power unto the man, in hopes of making him a weapon against the benevolent wizard Intezam (Interloper + Shazam), but he broke free and roamed the Earth as an immortal seeking the power he hungered for: the Star Cross.
The Old Dragon, and his daughter Gilded Shiv, are enemies of the new wielder of the Star Cross Kayla Whitmore (Kayla Ballentine + Stargirl)
Powers: Immortality; skilled warrior; above-human intelligence; superhuman strength/speed/agility/stamina/durability/reflexes; flight; energy and gravity manipulation; accelerated healing.

Gilded Shiv:
Amalgamation Of: Gilded Lily + Shiv
Alias: Lillian Burman
Biography: The Old Dragon, after many centuries of isolation in his deranged quest to regain the Star Cross and its power, decided to sire a child to aide him. His daughter was molded into a weapon in his image, but years told the tale of his immortality not passing onto the girl. She was stricken with a deadly illness, but another immortal, an alchemist now known as Dr. Diablo (Diablo + Dr. Alchemy), agreed to formulate a potion to extend her life in exchange for Old Dragon's tomes of the Philosopher's Stone (he thought they were at first useless for the Stone was pitiful in comparison to the power of the Star Cross). The potion restored the girl's youth, but had to be reapplied every decade or so. In modern times, Old Dragon's daughter took on the identity of Lillian Burman, a school girl who attended the same school as Kayla Whitmore, who they discovered to have the power of the Star Cross. Kayla was kidnapped and her stepfather Roger Dugan was trapped in a gold shell; thankfully he managed to activate the base AI of his battle armor STOX (Box I + STRIPE) to shatter the gold. STOX found Kayla and saved her, allowing her to become the Star Cross and they battled Old Dragon and his daughter. She was trapped in the gold and he was killed in the fight, but her exposure to the alchemical substance transformed her flesh into living gold. Now the Gilded Shiv, she seeks revenge against Star Cross and STOX for her father's death.
Powers: Immortality; genius alchemist; above-human strength/stamina/durability; martial artist; organic gold flesh that allows her to create weapons made of gold and trap enemies in a golden sheathe.
