Victorians

The Victorians are a fictional group of Superhero Superiors who are published in Kratos' XD Comix series. Like certain other comic book characters, the Victorians are based off of real people on Kratos. In the comics, the Victorians are a group of 5 Superiors who were originally regular animals that worked for the military of several worlds, and because their combat skills surpass any other fighter in the UUniverses, they were abducted by a Kratosian terrorist organization called the Incursion which illegally turned them into Superiors in an attempt to make supersoldiers. Since they escaped and found their way to New Athens, they dedicated themselves as protectors of Kratos, and vowed to keep their origins a secret from Kratos (Since making a normal person a Superior is against the law), and keep their legacy a secret from the people at home. Trouble is, their own social lives also complicate things. They start to have trouble with their loved ones and concerned family who have found out they were missing. Their relationships with lovers dwindle, their jobs at the military is continuously compromised, generals and members of the brass get very suspicious, and worse of all, the Kratosian Goverment and Military have been starting to put two-and-two together. Eventually, in one issue, the leader of the Incursion and the Victorians' arch-nemesis, Black von Skull, A Skeletor/Cobra Commander/Joker/Generic French villain combo, discovers the Victorian's home worlds and kidnap their loved ones, and use them to force the Victorians into exposing their secret origin to the public. After Skull lets their loved ones go, the Victorians are immediately arrested, and Black is satisfied that he might've finally defeated his arch enemies. But what he didn't take into account was that the Victorians didn't suffer the fate that he expected them to be in. Instead of the Victorians losing their powers and being sent to prison, they were instead placed in a lifetime of servitude to Kratos because of Grotch explaining that it wasn't their fault they were like this, and wants the Victorians to stop von Skull, but after dealing with an undercover Incursion agent called Vanquisher, who has tried his hardest to keep the Victorians out of von Skull's way, they stop von Skull from trying to use nuclear weapons to get revenge on the city that took away his family. With von Skull captured and depowered, the Kratosian Government lets them go with no further troubles afterwards, and have been declared heroes, their relationships rebuilt, they earned the military's respect and admiration, and a relationship is formed with 2 of the Victorians. But the battles against the Incursion are just beginning. Skull escapes prison with the help of The Five Masters of Doom: Lord Cobar, Jamar, Ursina, Haines, and Captain Rook, (Based on Lord Cobra, Jafar, Ursula, Hades, and Captain Hook), and even though they didn't have the power to give von Skull his powers back, they still had the power to try and get revenge on the Victorians for humiliating the Incursion after all they did for them.

History[]

Publication History[]

The Victorians comics had a, complicated history. They were created by someone who's not only a comic book writer, but also someone with a very controversial belief that if children are introduced to serious and often dark and depressing stuff early, they'll have a better understanding of good and evil and learn to avoid the evil of the world. That man, was Philmore Kracken, a sea superior left-behind. His beliefs, while understandingly controversial, are philosscofical and are not exactly wrong, but his critics warned that children are prone to take things the wrong way and might end up picking the wrong thing instead. Philmore made alot of independent comics that discussed and tackled controversial beliefs. Examples include but not limited to:

The Cosmic Rangers: A story that follows a team of heroic space rangers inspired by Buzz Lightyear of star command that do battle against the forces of nazi dinosaurs and communist zombie aliens that threaten Kratos and beyond.
The Rainbow Heroine: A brave super-powered lesbian Wonder-woman inspired superheroine that fights against discrimination and a corrupt government under the control of an evil Kemoisum worshipping and hypocritical transvestite super-villain who is interestingly inspired by the main villain from "The Rocky Horror Show".
Bird of Peace: A heroic bird and his super-powered wife battle against the forces of warmongers threatening war. The series has a tendency to reference the likes of Nazism and communism, even dealing with a terrorist group or so. They even battled against a rogue state with a regime similar to dictatorisum.
The Holy Whale: It's basically a comic with relijustus references. All heroes are litterally based on the good side of religion, while villains are either demonic or based on relijustus villains. This was the most controversial of his comics.

But the comics that got the biggest controversy was litterally his first series, the Victorians, because it focuses on Illit Superiors fighting against a terror group responsible for them to begin with and makes the millaterry and Kratos senate look like idiots, demonstrating that sometimes the government is not always reliable. This series earned the worse criticisms and plague because he tried to independently market this to children. Philmore has dreamed of being for Generation Comics. While they accepted him, it wasn't without changes for the majority of his comics. The Cosmic Rangers are instead made to battle generic space villains that otherwise are not different to the original controversial villains, the Rainbow Heroine was made straight and the Transvestite villain altogether removed and replaced with an evil adviser, Bird of Peace still stayed the same but references to nazism and the like were toned down or altogether removed, and Holy Whale wasn't even accepted as canon to Generation Comics.

Philmore hold no disrespect for the company, but he felt he wanted to return to be an independent comic writer again, but he gave off the accepted comic series as gifts, feeling that they would be better off with Generations Comics then with him. He sold the rights to Holy Whale and many other comics of his series to other independent writers who would then reinvent the comics into less controversial versions and resell them to Generations Comics, XD Comix, and many other comic companies. But Philmore saved the Victorians for last because not only was it his first, but it was his most valued.

When Philmore's Kratosian Citizen papers are due to expire and he was peacefully warned that he would have to be deported to Lagoola, Philmore decided that it was time to sell the Victorians. Knowing Generation Comics would make too many unrecognizable changes, he sold the rights to the comic to his friend who worked for XD Comix, who kept his promise to mostly kept it as he envisioned it, even though there will be some humorous moments here and there. After some convincing, the big wigs of XD Comix accepted Victorians into their inventory, but they insist that due to references of Terrorism, it would have to be sold mostly to teens and adults to protect their otherwise child-friendly images, where later down the road they would make kid-friendly versions of the same original stories as a measure to further protect their reputation just in case. And the Victorians became famous ever since.

Comic History[]

Laura (Miss Victoria), Edna (Eidolon Girl), and Forrest (Forrest Frost) were all born on Kra-38 and all serve in the same military. Laura worked as a scientist, Edna worked as a sniper, and Forrest worked as an Antarctic soldier, and all share a single friendship. Forrest has a secret crush on Laura, and she constantly doesn't seem interested in him. They all want to advance to a higher position, but their personalities and mistakes prevent them from doing so, even when they are too reckless in their attempts to prove they have what it takes. Laura, Edna, and Forrest soon had a conversation about their failure to advance, and feel that they are never going to, making them feel inferior to the crowd.

Meanwhile, on Kra-20, Simon (Thermite) is a demolitions expert who has been perfect in every single mission, but his commanding officer has been convinced that he is too well and too reckless in it. He causes serious injuries that cost them thousands of dollars, added by the destruction of property which cost millions. This has been giving Simon the risk of being reassigned from demolitions expert to a regular 2nd-class soldier, which Simon really hates. He is more comfortable being a demolitions expert, and nothing else, so he decides that he can prove that he can cause no more damage. But a single mistake causes over 30 people to be killed in an explosion, and he is immediately reassigned from demolitions forever, angering him to the point of going AWOL, and therefore risking the chance of getting arrested for desertion. Simon was hoping to become the demolitions expert of another military, but before he can do it, he is caught by his old military circuit, and is threatened with jailtime for his desertion, and tries to escape with the forces in hot persuit.

Meanwhile, on Kra-05, Pratt (Shadow Wing), is a worker at Interpol who is a very stealthy and deceiving agent. His spy skills have been the best for a while and was preparing to be promoted to a higher rank. Unfortunately, his brother, Terry, wanted to rank up, too, and yet, everyone hates him for being too full of himself, and was denied for every chance he gets, and only his brother gained the right to rank. So, taking matters in his own wings, Terry was able to sabotage the progress of his brother's next mission, but a person died as a result. Pratt's training and his own secretly hidden cameras exposed his brother's dishonest work, and when Terry was fired, he harshly scolds Pratt for it and tells him that he might never get another position of his favorite job again, and he'll lose everything because of his own brother, and declares to never want to have anything to do with him again. Hurt by the fact that his brother's words were half-right, Pratt quits Interpol for ruining his brother's life and decided to seek a normal job in the hopes to try and support him, but his depression caused by his brother's words has left him unable to gain the will to do it.

All 5 of these people were being watched by Incursion, and Black von Skull declared them the perfect addition to his plans to take over Kratos, and ordered their capture. Then at the same time, Superior spaceships abduct all 5 of them, and take them away, making everyone searching for them suspicious, and try to constantly search for them. On Kratos, all 5 people are brought together and meet face-to-face with Black von Skull, who reveals that he has the chance to give them all what they want, and promises to fulfill their wishes and bring them back to their homeworlds if they agree to go through a simple test. He wants them to be given secret powers and for them to donate their improved DNA. When they begin questioning them and find out his true intentions, they try to escape, but they are unable to. They are forcefully injected with quantonium that grants them all superpowers. Laura is given super-strength, telepathy, super-flight, and heat vision, Simon is given pyrokinesis and super-flight, Edna is given ghosting powers, force-field generation, and invisibility, Forrest is given cryokinesis and super-endurance, and Pratt is given a sonic-scream, teleportation, mind-control, and a psychic shield. But what von Skull failed to take into account was that this allowed them to break free, and instead of trying to stop him, they escape successfully, and not only discover the new planet they are on, but they find that their superpowers are at first hard to control, but over time, they get the hang of it. They all cause accidents, but stay together to figure things out. However, when they discover a robbery, they immediately use their powers to stop it, and leave without saying anything to the authorities.

Anxious to hide, the 5 people find an abandoned business building on the outskirts of the city they're in, New Athens, and take refuge there. After the trouble they had caused on their homes and this new alien world, they try and figure things out together. They introduce each other, and think of what they can do with these powers that they've been given. When they discover old comic books, they get the idea that they form a super-team, naming themselves the Victorians. They also give themselves their own names, and after weeks of fighting crime and gaining their own jobs, they not only gain the money they need to convert the abandoned building into their headquarters, but they also discover something risky. They find that making normal animals Superiors is against the law, and after briefly panicking, they decide that the best thing to do is keep it a secret. They also take into account that von Skull might know this, too, and will do all in his power to stop them. So they decide to fight crime, keep their cover, never let people know they were regular animals, and never allow von Skull to discover their families or loved ones' whereabouts back at home.

5 days afterward, the Victorians gain the chance to introduce themselves to the Kratosian Government in Prometheon, and are granted the chance to be great heroes by Grotch Prometheus himself. After stopping a robot invasion, evil clones, a mad bomber, and a superior creation, they decided that it was time to return home so they can let their families know about their adventures. That take great precautions when visiting just in case von Skull was after them, and while they were able to explain everything, and also resolve the problems they caused, they were also able to rescue their homes from von Skull, and hide their families' whereabouts. But the attack resulted in a few casualties. With their legacies accepted nonetheless, they returned to Kratos to become the heroes they had always wanted to become.

He was so popular in the series, he gained his own comic book series.

Enemies[]

Black von Skull and Incursion- Black von Skull is a disfigured Superior chimpanzee who was the leader of a terrorist organization called the Incursion, which he made from a terrorist organization of a terrible war which he used to get revenge on his hometown's military for costing him his parents. He is the Victorians' first adversary, and was the one who gave them their superpowers. Since they escaped and formed a super team, he has been trying his hardest to either find the location of their loved ones on their homeworlds, or leak their sensitive origins to the public in an attempt to take them down. When he does, he finds that they were never punished, and he is stopped from nuking his hometown, and from blowing up every city on Kratos with his 20 nuclear reactors. He has since been stripped of all his powers, and had briefly been commanding The Five Masters of Doom until his final battle against the Victorians as a super-Superior, where he was defeated and sent to a more-secure prison where no escape was possible. Some members of Incursion have been trying to deal with the Victorians since it's downfall. In fact, most of their adversaries are from Incursion.
Vanquisher- A super-Superior marmoset who was disowned by his parents on his 18th birthday because he wanted invulnerability for a birthday gift, only to have them lose their jobs and blame their own son for it. He has since joined Incursion and got injected not just with near-invulnerability, but a few other superpowers, a super serum, and an augmentation from von Skull, making him a nearly-unstoppable force that nearly destroyed the Victorians. After a fight on a bridge left him with an artificial arm and neck, he later snuck into the Victorians' court case with General Hog to get payback with them. But when he is angered further by the consequence of jailtime, he accidentally kills himself when he tries to throw a supercomputer at them, which ends up crushing him. His powers included super-strength, super-mentality, near-invulnerability, super-flight, power negation, heat-vision, and a psychic shield.
The Five Masters of Doom- A group of 5 former Incursion agents who formed after the fall of Incursion, and have tried to get revenge on the Victorians, first with minor Incursion agents including Seductrus, then by their own and von Skull, and now anyway they can. They are nearly similar to members of the Villain League, but their counterparts' magical powers are replaced with either science or superpowers. They have a great feud against the Hand of Horror, and once tried to murder it's leader, General Hog, with illegal negatonium. They are still fighting the Victorians to this day.
Ordnancov- A Superior Russian iguana who was considered Incursion's finest bombing expert due to his bombs being so impossible, no genius has ever been able to disarm it. He joined Incursion since Grotch Prometheus had investigated his illegal weapons company, and shut it down, forcing him to get revenge. He gained his own forces under contract, especially Serena Shengavich, who was angry that her career had been modified into a terrorist organization. He is soon hired by von Skull into trying to gain info on the Victorians by planting bombs in New Athens. When he got the Victorians, he still decided to blow up the city. This angers Shengavich into helping the Victorians disarm the bombs, and stop Ordnancov. When Ordnancov was told he would go to jail, he blows himself and his underground base up. Aside from his vast arsenal of bombs and his jet-packed helmet, his powers included night-vision, super-strength, invisibility, and super-agility.
General Warhead Hog and The Hand of Horror- General Warhead Hog is a Superior warthog who is the general of the Kratos millaterry who hated the Victorians for their minor oversights and mishaps, and alchourse the keeping secrets thing. He was trying to punish the Victorians for keeping a conspiracy from the public of a crime that cannot be forgiven for. He places a warrant to arrest anyone who tries to aid the Victorians, and sends the Victorians to court. He brought up good excuses in the court to get them punished, but even they couldn't stop him from getting his way since it was what von Skull wanted. After some touching words from Shengavich, the Kratosian Senate and Grotch acquit them, and Hog resists the verdict, and gets fired. He is later sent to jail, and he escapes with the help of former Incursion members, and together, they form the Hand of Horror, meant to take over Prometheon and carry out the law the way it's 'supposed' to be. Hog injects himself with quantonium from the Quantum Smugglers and makes himself stronger than ever. The Hand of Horror soon suffers conflict with The Five Masters of Doom, and once the Hand of Horror fell, Hog was taken by the FMOD and injected with the poisonous negatonium, which weakens him and his powers, and was on the verge of dying. He would've died if the Victorians didn't come to his aid. Relucently alchorse. But the Victorians know as much of a giant asshole he is, the FMOD weren't being any better. He was sent to jail again afterward. His powers include super-flight, super-endurance, super-strength, titanium tusks, and earth manipulation.
Gemini Androids- A duo of biomechanical androids that took the appearance of von Skull, and would do tasks that he himself would normally do. They shared a mental link with each other, and could communicate with each other. They shared similar powers to von Skull himself, and their robotic strength and complex design ensured that they would be difficult opponents. They were tasked into following Thermite and Shadow Wing to their homeworlds to discover their families' locations and kidnap them. While one of them discovered the location of Shadow Wing's families' home and crippled Shadow Wing's brother, the other put up a less-versatile fight. While the 2 Superiors defeated them, their heads remained undamaged, but when they reported their progress, von Skull got angry and made their heads self-destruct. They shared similar superpowers to von Skull before he was depowered, and they were similar to Terminators.
