Today our subjects are a pair of relatively new heroes. One claims immortality and the other has a strong psychic link to him, as well as being his spouse.
~~H: My true name is Cain, although I am most commonly known as Duncan MacGregor, a name I adopted years ago when I left my home and moved to Scotland after wandering much of the Middle East and Europe. I’ll respond to either of them, although I prefer Duncan, because it associates me with the happiest years of my life.
~~F: I’m just Fiona MacGregor. We’re husband and wife.
Are you working thru B.A.D.G.E. or are you independent?
~~H: I was recruited by B.A.D.G.E. through Fiona. When they recovered me from Legion, I had suffered from what they told me was hysterical amnesia because of what Legion forced me to do. The story of my being freed from Legion is currently being told, but the final chapters haven’t been declassified yet. I’m currently associated with Star Force.
~~ F: I’m really independent currently. Once Duncan was freed from Legion, I was contacted by B.A.D.G.E. to provide psychic assistance to help Duncan regain his memory.
Are you currently in a League, and if so, would you care to tell us about it?
~~H: I’m connected with Star Force, but am currently on reserve status, overseeing the construction of the league’s headquarters. Director Nova originally asked me to work with Seraphim Angels, then transferred me to the Force.
~~F: No league involvement aside from helping my husband with the construction project. I don’t foresee league work in my future unless Star Force has an opening. I was separated from Duncan for over 20 years due to Legion; I won’t voluntarily separate again.
Can you tell us a little about your powers? Are all of your powers Morphon based?
~~H: I’m apparently immortal, which was a punishment for a crime I committed very early in life. Many people wouldn’t consider that punishment, but it’s more that than reward. My other powers were presumably part of the package, brought to my attention after I moved to Scotland, and probably enhanced by Morphon exposure.
~~F: My abilities were always part of me; I’ve been known to British intelligence since I was a wee one as having psychic powers. They are likely Morphon enhanced.
Do you have a sidekick?
~~H: The recently declassified files about the Colorado Task Force refers to Helmut as my “handler.” He was killed during the assignment, protecting me it was a senseless death, since I’m immortal; it didn’t need to happen.
~~F: Duncan is my sidekick (chuckles)
~~H: Answers that question doesn’t it?
Could you tell us a little about your origin?
~~H: (sighs) I’m the son of parents named Adam and Eve. I killed my brother in a fit of jealously, and my immortality is my punishment for doing so. Not much more to say.
~~F: My family worked for Duncan in various capacities for nearly seven hundred years. I was in my late teens before we met though.
What is your favorite piece of gear? Why?
~~H: I’d say my helmet. It just has a very comfortable feel to it. It makes me feel secure. Is that strange?
~~F: Everything about you is a bit strange, my love. It’s just your nature. (wraps her arms around his arm and rests her head on his shoulder)
Do you Have any advice for new Heroes?
~~H: Although it may seem the smart thing to do sometimes, don’t live your life alone. Companionship is great.
~~F:(Contented sigh) I agree.
Is there anything else you'd care to add?
~~H: As long as Legion is around, I’ll be active. Knowing the atrocities it’s committed, I can’t turn away. I’m driven to make them pay.
~~F: And I’ll be at his side.
Well, thank you both for coming in today.
Until next time, my friends.
