| What do retired super heroes do? They open schools for super heroes, of course! At least that is what Pure Power did. A popular and successful super hero during the sixties, Pure Power made a name for himself by refusing to take part in dispersing the Berkley riots and even saving students from the tear gas by blowing it away with his super breath. He constantly butted heads with "The Establishment" and even did time in The Hole! But eventually he knew that sooner or later he would have to grow up and do something to earn a living in his twilight years. He really didn't have much in the way of appreciable skills, but he did know how to communicate with people, and he was good at what he did. That was when he came up with the idea of a school for paranormals. Essentially he would teach them how to use their powers and try to give their lives direction. He would try to spot potential super villains and steer them away from that life. |

| The Federal government was
leery of
the idea, they saw it as a worst-case scenario and he would be running
a school for super villains. So PP compromised with The Man and
agreed
that anyone who joined his school would have to register their
fingerprints,
retinal image and DNA with the Federal government as well as a detailed
description of their powers. It was not a perfect solution, but
during
his time in The Hole PP saw some really, really bad dudes and he
understood
the Feds' fears (imagine Jerry Garcia serving time and having a cell
next
to Charles Manson; it sort've broadens one's view of the world).
Located in the Appalachian mountains in
West Virginia,
Pure Power's Plant covers over two thousand acres of valley and hill
country.
Here it is safe for a paranormal to let loose with their powers without
harming innocents or property. The school is a compound
consisting
of the latest in high tech medical and diagnostic equipment, as well as
satellite uplinks and resort level accomodations. Classes run
anywhere
from six weeks to six months depending on the complexity of the powers
and the skill of the student. Also during this time PP runs
career
counseling classes, holds open houses with corporations looking for
heroes
to sponsor, and classes in ethics. Friday night is party night,
and
it can get pretty wild. Pure Power's Plant was assaulted by The Hustlers and many
students were killed or injured. Pure Power himself was
critically wounded and remains in a coma. Ultima,
Toni Childes, has stepped up to take his place as the school's
headmistress. Some of the principle staff members include: Sonik: Former Soviet Spetnatz agent, Sonik is a middle aged speedster who primarily trains speedster students, as well as helping with basic hand to hand combat. He is also head of security. Rain: Primary combat instructor. Ultima: As well as dealing with
running the school, Toni still gives courses
on dealing with corporations and contract management. Precious Metals: Various members of Precious Metals have
volunteered their free time to act as super strength instructors. Rowan: Law enforcement specialist. Robert Field: Weapons specialization instructor. Set: Psionic disciplines. The Radical Cure:
