#threat level 4

[thebabelfiles]

Name: Firestorm

Secret Identities: Ronald Raymond and Jason Rusch

Species: Metahuman

Threat Level: 4 - Severe

Abilities: Firestorm is a walking fusion reactor, and as such can both absorb and expel extreme amounts of energy and heat. Their main ability, however, is elemental transmutation. They can essentially transform one substance into another, as long as they know the chemical bonds that each substance is made from. The limits of this have not yet been found, but it is known that Firestorm is capable of creating kryptonite.

Weaknesses: Firestorm is the result of two separate entities forming into one being. This is a highly unstable process that can only be regulated through use of a Firestorm Matrix. If the matrix were to fail in some way, Firestorm would be forced to separate into their two hosts.

Babel Protocol: This is an absolute worst-case scenario plan, but if you were to expose Firestorm to an excess of nuclear radiation, the Firestorm matrix should theoretically be overloaded and malfunction.

Private Notes: This plan is far too risky to use in a populated area and would first require Firestorm being led out into the middle of nowhere. Until I think of a better solution, however, this will have to suffice.

Name: Zatanna Zatara

Secret Identity: N/A

Species: Homo Magi

Threat Level: 4 - Severe

Abilities: Zatanna is a powerful magic user, having mastered the art of ‘backwards speak’ casting. Essentially, if Zatanna says something backwards, the gods of magic will bring it into existence. Her power is only limited by her imagination and the energy it takes to cast each spell.

Weaknesses: Zatanna must speak her spells into existence. If she were to lose her voice, she would be powerless.

Babel Protocol: Zatanna’s spells require precise wording to work. I have invented a sonic device that scrambles the target’s language center when hit, disabling their ability to speak coherently.

Private Notes: Although Zatanna does not yet know the limits of her power, I  am cautious of a single person possessing such potential. Also, if she continues her relationship with John Constantine, I worry that he may corrupt her down a darker path.

Name: Green Lantern

Secret Identity: Hal Jordan

Species: Human

Threat Level: 4 - Severe

Abilities: Hal possesses a Green Lantern ring, and with it can create any energy construct that he can think of. This ability depends on the user’s willpower, which Hal certainly has plenty of. Compared to other lanterns, Hal’s constructs tend to have a simple form, largely being literal objects for what is needed (for example, a boxing glove for attacking and a shield for defence).

Weaknesses: A Green Lantern is dependant on willpower to fuel their constructs. Deprive them of their courage and they are helpless.

Babel Protocol: I have modified a strain Scarecrow’s fear toxin to specifically target Hal Jordan’s physiology. With such a targeted attack on his brain, Hal wouldn’t be able to summon enough courage to maintain his ring’s power.

Notes: Hal and I have not always seen eye to eye, but from what I understand of the Green Lantern Corps, they would intervene if he went rogue before I would even have the chance to.

Name: Aquaman

Secret Identity: Arthur Curry

Species: Atlantean hybrid

Threat Level: 4 - Severe

Abilities: Due to his Atlantean heritage, Arthur’s body is adapted for living deep underwater. This grants him, along with the ability to breathe underwater, superhuman strength and durability. Additionally, an ability unique to Arthur is that he can communicate with sea life, a.k.a. ‘talk to fish’. Considering how unknown the ocean is, I would not take this ability lightly.

Arthur is also in possession of the Trident of Poseidon, a mystical Atlantean relic that grants him some control over water, ice, and electricity. As long as he is in contact with this weapon, his threat potential only increases.

Weaknesses: Although his Atlantean heritage provides his many strengths, it also gives him his main weakness: dehydration. Due to being adapted for the water, Arthur requires frequent hydration in order to stay at full strength.

Babel Protocol: I have designed plans for an energy emitter that, when attached to Arthur’s body, would coat him with a covering of microwave radiation, sapping his body of most of its moisture.

Private Notes: I have served with Arthur in the League for years, but it is clear that his loyalties lie with Atlantis. If war were to break out between Atlantis and the surface world again, I could not trust Arthur to side with us.
