Lainey Livingston, gifted with powers through a power-plant accident that lead to the death of her parents, was raised in foster homes until her strength and flight powers appeared in her preteens. Sent to study at The School, a training-ground for youngsters of the powered persuasion, Lainey eventually moved on to join the Red Knights before quitting to attend one of the premier law schools in the country. After graduating at the age of 24, she joined the Power Squad. Now offered a position with the Elite Hands of Justice, Lainey has been partnered with the Reincarnist for training and is determined to prove herself, both to the team and to Robert.
The Reincarnist has been many men in his long life. Born with an affinity for magic and the power to become a new man instead of dying, the Reincarnist has been around since before the Renaissance, and has lived multiple lives, from pirate to gentleman to soldier. He took the alias the Reincarnist while living his life as Walter Rath when he helped to form the first major hero team, The Elite Hands of Justice, after returning home from World War II. He lead the team for many years, eventually passing over leadership to his son, but dissatified with how the team became more concerned with its celebrity status instead of saving the world, the Reincarnist became an inactive member, content to help train new members and stay out of the limelight.
