The Special Powers Force is made up of individuals with superpowers who can't make it into Darkseid's Elite. To heroes, these members are equivalent to minor villains. The Female Furies and Deep Six are only two groups that make up this section
In times of war or invasion on another world, 20 or more members will be sent on a mission of destruction and conquest to "soften up" the opposing forces for the footsoldiers. They are also used (in smaller numbers) to flush out groups of criminal Hunger Dogs. In this case, they will be sent on short and simple seek-and-destroy missions.
The Furies are some of the strongest warriors Apokolips has to offer. They are constantly in stiff competition with each other and with many "Fury wannabees," hence their skills are always well honed and never have an opportunity to deteriorate.
They are sadistic and ruthless, as easily capable of killing innocent bystanders as pulling the wings off flies. Their enjoyment in tormenting others is second only to their desire to serve Darkseid.
These ladies need little or no provocation to rain terror on the Earth. This, combined with the fact that a GM can mix and match whatever Furies he wishes with no rationalization, makes them extremely versatile. They could just as easily be playing a game of "collect the heads of the heads of state" as performing some dread task for Darkseid.
The Furies sometimes harass and attempt to kill Big Barda and/or Mr. Miracle. Otherwise, their lives revolve around being part of the Special Powers Force.
Lashina worked with the Suicide Squad when she contracted amnesia. She was resurrected by Darkseid to rejoin the Furies.

ROLE-PLAYING: Bernadeth will assess the situation and send each of her sister Furies out on specific tasks. If an argument erupts, she will use her scheming ways or a physical attack to settle the matter.
She uses her intelligence at all times, taking note of her opponents' weaknesses and positions. She talks in a low but pronounced hiss.

BACKGROUND: Mad Harriet is the most violent of the Furies. She is tall and thin, with yellow skin and a thick mane of green hair. Her face is continuously covered with a maniacal grin and appears to be painted with black marks. She is notorious for her uncontrollable fighting skill and love of killing.
ROLE-PLAYING: Mad Harriet is as crazy as the Joker, always laughing and amused, with an insane spark in her eyes. She talks like a wicked witch from old fairy tales, using such phrases as "Are you scared of my little power spikes, dearies?" She is one of the most obedient of Darkseid's superpowered warriors, never failing to follow an order.
Mad Harriet will attack an opponent as soon as possible. After a round or two, she will back off and release her Power Spikes, directing them at her victims and go for the kill. In many cases, she will use her spikes to tear armor apart or shatter a weapon before trying to kill the hero.

Contacts: Female Furies, Suicide Squad.
BACKGROUND: Lashina has been the second most powerful of the group for a long time; she was never quite as tough as Big Barda and has not yet successfully taken the command of the battalion from Bernadeth.
Over her blue-and-black costume, Lashina wears flexible steel bands, known as Lashes. She is a master of these whip-like weapons, able to crack a boulder or snap a hero's neck in half with a single blow.
ROLE-PLAYING: Lashina is constantly trying to prove her superiority. She has openly challenged Bernadeth for leadership of the Furies. She tries to humble her opponents, making them beg for mercy. She is vengeful, never forgetting those who wrong her until she has paid them back as well.
In combat, Lashina will remove one of her lashes and attack at full strength; however, she initially avoids combat in an indirect method. She always makes good use of skills like Tracking and Demolitions. This is one of her greatest tactics, using her mind as well as her body to insure victory.
When Lashina uses her Lashes, she will try to break weapons and equipment before she hits her foe. If she is badly hurt she will escape and find a new ambush location.
Equipment: Heavy Matter Boots
AM material strength
Hyper-Leaping AM
Stompa's "Gun Boots" can crush almost any material. She uses them to stomp her foes for AM (50) damage.
Talents: Weapons Specialist- Heavy Matter Boots, Weapons Master, Military.
Contacts: Female Furies.
BACKGROUND: Stompa is the toughest member of the Furies. She is definitely not the smartest fighter Apokolips has produced, but this muscular woman makes up for this weakness with sheer brute force and savagery.
ROLE-PLAYING: Stompa enjoys fighting and smashing anything in her path. She is easily irritated and bored, causing her to search for creatures to kill or things to stomp for fun. She always speaks in the third person.
She uses her boots as often as possible to crush things and people; however, she is more likely to destroy a support beam and bring the ceiling down on a hero's head than kick the do-gooder. She will take on large groups of weak opponents, such as Hunger Dogs or a group of policeman, punching and kicking her way through them.
