Without further ado, here are the first three characters Wonder Woman, Superman and the Batman.
Superman
“Taking
lives is something I definitely find offensive! But roughing up
criminal terrorists a bit doesn't faze me at all!”
The civilization of Krypton has touched
a thousand worlds, from the Techno-Oligarchy of Colu to the
exploration colony of Argo. Their science, religion, and philosophy
influenced cultures beyond counting. They were a golden people,
seeking physical, mental, and moral perfection. The Kryptonian Guard,
led by the great General Zod, allied with he Oans and the Guardians
of the Galaxy to defend all life. Some of the greatest Green Lanterns
were Kryptonian.
Apocalypse came to Krypton. Their
colonies went silent, one after the other. Then the shadow fell
across their home. The Darkseid, the Omega god, wiped out the
Kryptonians. It did not use direct warfare, that is not its way.
Darkseid poisoned the very planet, to walk its surface was to step
into perdition. Two stood against this menace, the general and the
scientist. The general, bravest of men, stood in the path of oblivion
and did not blink. His was the last to see Krypton before it
exploded. The scientist sought a way to save his world, his people.
In the end, he saved just one, his only son. As his world shattered
this boy rocketed to a new world, a world where he would be safe.
The boy was found and taken in by a
loving couple from Kansas, Johnathan and Martha Kent. They called him
Clark. When he was old enough, his adopted parents told him the story
of his arrival. Clark wandered the world for a while, trying to find
meaning. Everywhere he went, he saw injustice and hopelessness. He
helped where he could, but it was not enough. He needed to do more.
He need to inspire hope and justice for all. He could not help them
all, but he could inspire humanity to help itself. Taking the symbols
from his spaceship he created a costume and identity, he became
Superman.
As he fought for those who could not
help themselves, he found himself losing touch with the common man.
The world looks so very small when you fly high above it. Now he
spends his days as an investigative reporter, seeing the world from
the perspective of the people.
Powers and Devices
As a Kryptonian Superman has tremendous
strength, speed, and is nearly invulnerable. When exposed to earth's
atmosphere and yellow sunlight he gains the ability to fly as well as
tremendous senses, heat vision, and super-breath(the best power
EVER).

Wonder Woman
“If
it means interfering in an ensconced, outdated system, to help just
one woman, man or child…I’m willing to accept the consequences.”
When the Argonauts encountered the
Amazons, Hypolita realized it was the beginning of the end. Man's
world would continue to expand, explore, and conquer. She called out
to the gods to protect her people from the scourge of Man's world.
The gods pulled Themyscera, home of the amazons, into a realm hidden
from mortal eyes. But the amazons would now never have access to men
again, and thus were doomed to die out. Again they prayed to the gods
to save them from this doom. Hera took pity on them and granted the
Amazons immortality. Never would the ravages of time fall upon the
Amazons. And so they lived for thousands of years.
Without fear of external conflict or
death, the amazons created many arts and sciences. Over time they
became a group of transcendent minds, masters of all sciences and
arts. Themyscera is an island of wonders. Even with the peace of
millenia, the Amazons never forgot the threat Man's world could
potentially be. They trained in war as they trained in all other
human endeavors.
As the years wore on, Hypolyta began to
long for a daughter, to raise and to train in the ways of the
Amazons. After so many years there was nothing new for her to see.
And so she set herself to the task of producing a daughter. She
crafted her daughter from a mix of her own genetic material and the
blood of Heracles, gathered from an ancient sword used against the
Argonauts. And so Diana was born. At her birth the gods gathered to
witness the last granddaughter of Zeus' birth. Each god presented her
with gifts. All save for Ares. He used the gathering of gods to
unleash a sneak attack against the Olympians. He failed and was
locked away, in the depths of Erebus, swearing vengeance on Zeus,
Hyppolyta, and all of their houses.
Diana grew up strong and with no
knowledge of hate or despair. She mastered all the skills of
Themyscera far faster than any before her. Her curiosity was
boundless, and often she was found in the far reaches of the island,
exploring. Eventually she grew restive and wished to see the world of
Man for herself. After much discussion her mother finally agreed.
Diana would go into Man's world as an emessary, to spread love and
truth, to bring the peace the amazons know to brutish world of Man.

The Batman
“You
all know who I am. You know what I can do. But I'm holding a small
child here. And if you make me do anything that could possibly
endanger this baby, you will be very, very sorry. Forever”
A son witness the death of his parents.
An oath is sworn. The boy vanishes into the man. The man becomes a
