Do you have any aliases? ”Do you mean other than Detective? Not really. The hero thing isn’t really a … full-time gig. Just something I feel ass-first into.”

Are you a member of any other superhero organizations? ”I’m a cop. I applied for ECLIPSE, but that, uh, didn’t work out.”

Do you consider yourself a hero? ”That’s the big question, isn’t it? Yeah, I consider myself a hero. Question is, do other people? I fight for justice and free will but do people see that? I worry about it all the time because it’s like, all the greatest monsters of our generation think they’re fighting for the greater good. What if ‘m doing more harm than good?”

Why do you wish to join Avalon? ”Look. I spend every day and night fighting crime, on the streets and otherwise. I’ve seen the scum of the earth get away with crimes that would make the Third Reich sick and I’ve dealt with super criminals that kill and abuse and destroy things with impunity just because they can. And despite this, heroes fight against. Through overwhelming odds, the good ladies - and gentlemen - of this world who aren’t batshit crazy fight against these injustices. I feel as if I’ve done my part as a cop. It’s not solving anything, not with corruption rampant in the highest levels of the office. Shit, you can’t book a convict without three lawyers threatening you with lawsuits! I’m tired of it. Avalon can change that.”

Are there any respected members of the superhero community, in or outside of Avalon, that would vouch for you? ”Nah, I don’ interact much with the hero community, looks bad on me if I get caught carrousin’ with a known vigilante. You could always talk ta that Pinnacle guy, if he’ll let ya. He’s as mysterious as a cowpoke in a gator farm, but he’s alright folk. Then there’s Samuel Grayson. Had a few run-ins with the little guy, he knows what I’m all about.

Where do you feel you would best fit within Avalon? ”A leadership role. I’ve spent a decade in the New York Police Department, and half of that was as a detective and leader of the SWAT. I’ve experienced tactical situations that most normal people haven’t and can bring my instinct and knowledge to this organization..”

What assets, such as money or technology, would your membership bring with it? ”Honey, I don’t got money or nothing like that. Just me, whatever that’ll get me. I’m not rich, I don’t have an army, all I got are me and my skills and possibly the advice and knowledge of an omniscient ever-present god. If she doesn’t feel like being a bitch.

Would you be willing to submit to a brief mental examination to guarantee you have good intentions with the group? ”Anything you want. I’m sure you’ll find I’m of sound mind and body.

Decorated New York City detective and officer

Once liberated an army Black-Site of meta’s that were illegally contained

On numerous occasions have achieved results against insurmountable odds to bring a perp to justice, such as the case of Johnny “Noxious”, a poisonous meta who, with the combined efforts of myself and four other fine officers of the law, was apprehended and brought to the Metahuman High Security prison

Since Anndroid is never far away from her pod...

What is your name?
Anndroid: "Elisa Ann Watson. Friends... call me Lisa. or Ann."


Pod: "I have no official designation. I am Maintenance for Robots Unit 23. This is my function. A dirty metahuman teenage male once called me a 'vampire coffin for robots.' I do not see the resemblance. I simply perform periodic maintenance to the combat unit to keep them in optimal condition given an 8 hour rest period."

Do you have any aliases?

Elisa: "Anndroid."

Pod: "...Vampire coffin for robots. I have explained the rationale of this completely inaccurate alias. Or are you some kind of mentally challenged person that I must repeat it for you? How sad."

Are you a member of any other superhero organizations?

Anndroid: "No... But... I've heard a great deal about the likes of Knightwatch... and Prodigy... fighting supervillains and other threats to humanity."

Pod (sarcasm): "Negative. Clearly, the construction and upkeep of a completely auTONomOUS roboTIC fightING unit is a coMMON and affordable hobby ACCESSible to most middle class american citizens. Most definitely not the field of a large MULTI-nationAL meGA-corPORation. Oh no. that would just be presumptuous."

Do you consider yourself a hero?

Anndroid: "I... All I ever wanted... all I can remember is wanting to help. I think its why I became an android."

Pod: "thE priMARy diRECtive of the comBAT U-U-unit is class-classiFIED. howe-e-e-VER, a seCONdary diRECtive is comBAT tesTING and collecting combat DAta. It seems-SEEMS sociaALly accEPTable to enGAGE in comBAT testing against so-s-so-so callED superVILLains.

Why do you wish to join Avalon?

"I know I have this power... these abilities to help people who can't defend themselves from evil metahumans. I know in time I'll be able to make a difference."

"Wherever the combat unit wishes to go, I have no choice but to follow. Your significant amount of support resources and offered security are completely optional but appreciated."

Are there any respected members of the superhero community, in or outside of Avalon, that would vouch for you?

"No...I don't know anyone yet. Medium... a New Yorker who speaks with ghosts. We ran into werewolves in Virginia."

Where do you feel you would best fit within Avalon?

"I could... I could teach while I study my fighting programs. I can project all my combat simulations real time on a screen or hologram. I've got loads of those up in my head."

"A nice, safe underground nuclear bunker with unlimited power access would be alright. Also unlimited internet access. And access to your base mainframe. I have many improvements to offer. Do not worry, I mean Improvements that do not involve anything deadly or neurotoxin in them."

What assets, such as money or technology, would your membership bring with it?

"I'm sorry I don't have any money, and I don't... know how to work computers or anything like that despite being a robot. I guess they really just made me to do the fighting."

"Does the combat unit not already count as a technological marvel? or did you not follow this conversation? Maybe you are mentally challenged and I am sorry for that. You're not responsible for your genetics after all. It's quite common among the human species."

Would you be willing to submit to a brief mental examination to guarantee you have good intentions with the group?

"Yes of course... I mean, if it works on machines I guess."

"Unauthorized Pod Access. Initiating Combat Unit Attack Mode. Terminate all unauthorized personnel. That was just a joke. I don't control the combat unit because as I said she is fully autonomous. You would remember that if you weren't mentally challenged. But I suspect you are. And ugly. And no one loves you."
