THE DEEP SIX

This is another division of the Special Powers Force, though this is an exclusive group. These aquatic killers are rarely ordered to action by anyone other than Darkseid.

The Deep Six are a team of half-humanoid beings who act as agents of destruction for their lord Darkseid. They were born and trained on Apokolips. They came from the deepest underground pools of the planet, where they wre hidden for many years. When Darkseid discovered them, he made use of their incredible powers and heartless nature by sending them to Earth to fight the New Genesis warriors, Orion and Lightray.

They captured Lightray and placed him on a giant raft called the Glory Boat. Orion came to the aid of his friend, and after a quick confrontation with Slig, both heroes were attacked by all six humanoids. The Deep Six are assumed to be on Apokolips, waiting for a new mission from their master.

Very little is known about these six creatures. The GM may want to add a few powers and skills if they are encountered by the players in an adventure.

ROLE-PLAYING: Only three of the Deep Six have special powers: Slig can disintegrate characters; Slig and Jaffar can mutate living things, enabling them to, for example, turn a crayfish into a fire-breathing lizard or a shark into a new villain; and Shaligo can fly. All six are extremely vicious in battle.
