BADGE
Created by: Mike Spagnola
Real Name: Glenn Badjowski
First DC Heroes RPG (Summit Alliance campaign 99-05), 1st PUBLIC APPEARANCE- Gilbert Monsanto’s Arena, Brawler’s Ball round 4
Origin: Glenn “Badge” Badjowski, leader of the Summit Alliance is a Cleveland, Ohio police officer and a Superhero.
As the police force grew tired of superheroes always stealing their thunder, they dressed up one of their own, Officer Glenn Badjowski, for P.R. purposes. As other heroes ended up forming a team with him (using him as a form of legitimacy), he outgrew his jurisdiction and ended up taking the job more seriously then he thought.
He originally just saw himself as just another police officer and scoffed at wearing the outfit, not really even liking superheroes all that much, but as time went on, the lifestyle came to define him.

Origin: Capt. John Steele was a young fighter­ aircraft certified US Navy pilot. When he was badly injured, detailed blood and genetic screening revealed that he had a genetic marker that was known to be associated with very positive reactions to the so-called ‘Ultra Soldier” serum. Therefore, he was subjected to an enhanced version of the treatment, resulting in unprecedented levels of strength, speed, agility, and stamina. Capt. Steele was transferred into the Navy’s unit of X-COM, the Joint Extraordinary Operations Command, using the call sign ”Sentinel”. X-COM supplied him with a state-of­ the art suit of Kevlar-derived body armor and powered gauntlets. Initially, Sentinel was used only in official, at times covert, military operations. However, in response to the growing ultra-human threat, he was given the public ultra-hero identity of the ”Champion of Liberty ” and a new call sign of ”Champion”.
