1. NAME:
Overlord
2. RANK: Black Widow Evil Leader
3. AGE: 36
4. HAIR: Brown
5. EYES: Yellow (formerly brown)
6: COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: U.S.A.
EDUCATION:
PHDs in genetics, pharmacology and psychology from Stanford. Received
PHD in Quantum Physics two years later at the age of 23.
GENERAL BACKGROUND: Two years after he joined the military team,
Overlord became the youngest and most respected researchers ever
to head that facility. It was there that Overlord first conceived
the idea for the Zone. The U.S. Govt. rejected it. During that period
the world's first ion-powered space shuttle, capable of reaching
unheard of speeds, was developed. It was the vehicle Overlord and
his companions stole and used to disperse the Zone Generators.
NOTES:
Overlord is obsessed with his plan to rule the world with his SPIRAL
ZONE. He will let nothing get in his way.

1. NAME:
Bandit
2. RANK: Black Widow Master of Disguise
3. AGE: Unknown
4. HAIR: Black - Balding
5. EYES: Yellow (Black pupils)
6: COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Unknown
EDUCATION:
Information on Bandit is extremely hard to find. Bandit not only
speaks several languages, but can change his appearance and voice
like a chameleon, an ability he has used often in many international
thefts.
GENERAL / MILITARY BACKGROUND: Bandit was believed killed during
the Seven Hills Battle in a raid led by Col. Dirk Courage (now Zone
Rider Commander). But it has been confirmed that 2 hours after Overlord
began the SPIRAL ZONE attack, Bandit
sought him out and offered his services. Overlord knew of his talent
for changing his disguise at will and of his reputation as a master
thief, so he made Bandit second-in-command.
NOTES:
Because of the Seven Hills Battle, Bandit has sworn revenge on Zone
Rider Commander Dirk Courage.

1. NAME:
Reaper
2. RANK: Black Widow Manhunter
3. AGE: 32
4. HAIR: Black Mohawk and Beard
5. EYES: Yellow (Black pupils)
6: COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: U.S.A.
EDUCATION:
Various Military Academies. He was expelled from the last one. Reaper
was sentenced to 17 years in Leavenworth Federal Prison, but escaped
and fled the country.
MILITARY BACKGROUND: After his escape Reaper became a mercenary,
selling his services to highest bidder without regard to justice
or honor. Because of his ruthlessness, military knowledge and willingness
to fight for even the most evil armies, he became the highest paid
mercenary in the world.
NOTES:
Reaper was one of the 2 Black Windows that Overlord recruited and
used to hijack the Space Shuttle. He feels strong resentment that
Overlord chose Bandit to be Second-in-Command, not him.

1. NAME:
Razorback
2. RANK: Black Widow Bladesman Expert
3. AGE: 27
4. HAIR: Dark Gray
5. EYES: Yellow (Formerly Gray)
6: COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: U.S.A.
EDUCATION:
Razorback has been in trouble almost from the day he was born. He
spent most of his time in reform schools. He later dropped out of
high school, spent 1 year in the regular army and was dishonorably
discharged.
GENERAL BACKGROUND: Razorback is known for his skill and fascination
with knives and blades of any sort. Before being recruited by Overlord,
Razorback kept a massive arsenal of knives from all over the world.
He can grab, throw and slice with frightening speed, and his skills
at hand-to-hand combat were honed by his years in a street gang.
NOTES:
Razorback is a rule-breaker. He does things his way. But when he
fails an assignment, he makes sure the blame falls on someone else,
especially the Black Widow Reaper.

1. NAME:
Duchess Dire
2. RANK: Black Widow Special Assignments Expert
3. AGE: 25
4. HAIR: Black
5. EYES: Yellow (Formerly Blue)
6: COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Britain
EDUCATION:
Duchess Dire attended some of the finest public and private schools
in the world. But even her wealthy parents couldn't keep her from
being expelled every time. She developed a well-known reputation
as a criminal and troublemaker.
GENERAL BACKGROUND: Dire is wanted in half a dozen countries for
blackmail, grand theft and other crimes. She is interested only
in power - as much as she can get. When Overlord launched the SPIRAL
ZONE attack, Duchess Dire actually went into the Zone, gambling
that she could join the Black Widows before the Zone affected her
mind.
NOTES:
Duchess can be seemingly charming. In reality, she is very dangerous
and does anything to gain more power; as long as there is no risk
to her.

The
Bull Whip Cannon was developed for use as a Black Widow battle command
vehicle. With its eight sharply studded tires and multiple flexible
axles, there's no place the Bull Whip can't go!
The
Bull Whip has complete scanning and laser tracking systems, a land
mine detection system and microwave transmission gear for keeping
in touch with the Black Widows.
For
firepower, the Bull Whip Cannon has a high-powered laser whip that
can be launched to tangle and stun victims for zoning, or can be
used to blast through steel and concrete. The control grip tilts
back to reveal a small, but powerful, rocket launcher that fires
a wide variety of loads; from high explosive and stun rockets to
Zone-creating shells.
Whenever
the Bull Whip Cannon arrives, you know there's going to be trouble!

The
Sledge Hammer tank is the primary assault vehicle of the evil Black
Widows. It is a state of the art one-man mini-tank with awesome
capabilities.
When
it comes to combat, the Sledge Hammer has the firepower of heavy
duty field artillery. The tank has two ton bashers that crush anything
in their path, making it almost impossible to get near. It carries
two 60mm Howitzers that fire Zone-creating shells and has two 20mm
laser cannons mounted on the front. With its computer-aided weapons
aiming system, the tank lays down a frightening field of fire.
In
or out of the SPIRAL ZONE, the Sledge
Hammer is a weapon to be reckoned with!

The
Spin Shot is a mobile assault backpack system believed to have been
developed by Overlord shortly before he began his SPIRAL
ZONE assault. The mortar launching unit revolves on the
wearer's back and fires a variety of special purpose shells.
Spin
Shot ammunition includes the M274 with a maximum range of 5,000
yards and the power of 5 tons of TNT; and the M251; a flare shell
with a range of 3,444 yards and the flash power of a 6,000 watt
light bulb.

The
Zone Drone is the deadliest weapon the Black Widows use. Designed
as a portable rocket / mortar system, Zone Drones can be fired with
devastating accuracy at targets up to 15 miles away.
It
fires a variety of special purpose drones, from small stun drones
to high-power Zone creating shells. Powered by supersonic solid-fuel
rocket engines, Zone Drones fly at 2,460 feet per second. And when
linked to the Black Widow Scanner System, Drones can be steered
to targets - even around corners and over tall buildings.
|
|
|
Developed
by Overlord specifically for Zone warfare, the Snapper Claws are
one of the most feared weapons the Black Widows use, as they have
no design weaknesses.
The
bionic claws give the wearer power to bash through walls and doors,
stun the victim with energy bolts and then grab them. Many an innocent
person has been snatched into the Zone by the evil Black Widow Reaper
with the Snapper Claws.
