Abt: Sorry for a sad Christmas page T_T - I still hope yours will be happy!

Mirroring what happened to Watchman & Clockwork in HA #1, another sidekick loses her mentor here. I created these two German superheroes especially for this chapter. Here are excerpts from my character descriptions:

Kaleidoskop (sr.): One of the first German superheroes to appear after WWII, he is a regular, if well trained, human being called Karl Leitner. The gadgets in his kevlar-padded suit give him power over light (there are light collectors on his forehead and chest): He can shoot beams out of the projectors on his forearms, and he can manipulate the intensity of the rays. The collectors, projectors and the rays themselves resemble kaleidoscopes.

Kaleidoskop (jr.) has recently become the first Kaleidoskop's sidekick. (To avoid confusion, they will refer to each other as "senior" and "junior", or "No. 1" and "No. 2".) She is a 21-year old social worker whose parents immigrated from Turkey to Germany. She can also manipulate light, but doesn't need any gadgets to do it. She also has other "common" superhuman powers, like flight, invulnerabilty and super-strength, but each of these aren't too well developed yet. For her design, I used the colors of the German flag: black/red/gold.

Seb: Last update before the holidays sets in, so Merry Christmanukkwanza to all!
