The Characters
Sharlto Copley
Christian Walker
Moody yet charismatic, he has the dissolute air of a burnt out rock star and the body of a battered heavyweight. Once a Superstar amongst the Powers elite, his powers were stolen in a violent battle with his former mentor turned mass killer, Wolfe. Never one to fade into oblivion, he's now a detective in the Powers Division, using his singular expertise to investigate crimes while desperately trying to regain his powers and former glory.
Susan Heyward
Deena Pilgrim
Equal parts beauty and sarcasm, she’s a wunderkind detective with edgy style. New to the Powers division, she's partnered with renowned detective Christian Walker. The daughter of a legendary lawman, she combines tremendous instincts and an eye for detail with an ability to bring down perps twice her size.
Noah Taylor
Johnny Royalle
A criminal mastermind Power with the ability to pop in and out of locations at will. Charming and deadly, Johnny Royalle has an effervescent smile and a murderous heart that also shares an inharmonious capacity for love that happens to be his Achilles heel. He owns a cutting edge underground venue, the Here and Gone Club that may be part of a dark and deadly conspiracy.
Eddie Izzard
Wolfe
Dark and dangerous, he is the kind of Power who haunts not only your nightmares but terrorizes your days. He has spent the last two decades incarcerated in the high security Powers Division prison known as “The Shaft,” his terrible abilities kept in check through a brutal regimen of surgical procedures. Now, pushed well beyond the edge of madness, he was once a mentor of up and coming Powers who were drawn to his unique philosophy and continues to share an unbreakable bond with Christian Walker, his former pupil.
Michelle Forbes
Retro Girl
The undisputed superstar of the Powers community, she is an icon of justice, selflessness, and business acumen. Her willingness to put herself at risk for the good of others is matched only by her ability to manage her globe-spanning personal brand and countless endorsement deals.
Olyesa Rulin
Calista
A teenage Power wannabe with street smarts, attitude and vulnerability, Calista is always seeking out her next move. She longs to be a Power, and will do almost anything to further her futile yearning.
Logan Browning
Zora
A young, extremely powerful star in the making, she has the ability to manipulate light to forceful effect. Zora has been groomed for a position among the Powers elite from a young age but as her powers grow her patience fades.
