The Super Six is my contribution to the "If superheroes were real genera" without being a parody or parable. It starts in the fictional city of Newstone, wherein our initial six main characters will meet destiny. Now the six characters run the spectrum on the scale of morality from socially accepted evil to socially accepted good.The event that gives them powers is in the Science and Research Center of Newstone, which I'll get into later, but for now, lets meet the players:

Eva Helmsly-19-goth kid,  adopted Amerindian ,  artistic, judo practitioner, college freshman, comes from a wealthy family, is depressed with social issues, and has a highly deductive mind.
-Powers: Shadow- manipulation, can make shadows tangible as long as she is in contact with said shadow, and can absorb shadows to give her a larger personal shadow to work with. Can manifest/teleport to any point connected by a shadow(is physically draining), or can use shadow as a grapple/tether to climb up to high places. Can form simple objects out of shadow or teleport small objects connected to shadows to her position. Because her powers rely on shadow, they can be weakened in the presence of strong light. Inversely, her powers are strongest at night, making her powers fluctuate based on day or night.
*Strength-Average, fit but not anything out of the ordinary.
*Speed- Average on her own, shadow teleport can give her a quick burst to escape or close distance.
*Energy Projection- Runs the spectrum between OK and powerhouse, depending on various factors.
*Defense- relies on stealth/teleport/barriers to avoid danger, but has no real armor to speak of.
*Fighting Ability- has the know how, but no real combat experience
*Intelligence-Deductively brilliant, but not very scientific.

Hernan "Kilgore" Guerrero- 30-was an orphan in Mexico, skilled kickboxer, became a lucha libre wrestler, is married to Sarita Cruz and has a son Pablo, is bilingual, and despite his tough upbringing does his best to do whats right.
-Powers: Fire- Can pyrokinetically engulf any of his limbs/body in flame, potentially hot enough to melt bullets before they can penetrate his skin, and con control any fire he himself does not emit ( he can set a fire and then control THAT fire, but not the fire his body emits) so fuel source effects his potential output, and is immune to fire.
*Strength-Very strong, due to the requirements of his job.
*Speed-Excellent cardio, light feet, trained gymnast.
*Energy Projection-Low to medium depending on his fuel source
*Fighting Ability-Legit kickboxer, practical fighter, and has some knowledge of firearms.
*Intelligence- Streetsmart not booksmart.

Bud Suffield- 36- Caucasian, was a four star chef for years until he was able to follow a budding passion as a survival expert, expert hunter and tracker, intelligent naturalist, and a bit of a luddite.
-Powers:Reptillianation- Has the frame of a 7+ foot frame, armor like scales, strong teeth and claws, keen eyesight, bloodhound like sense of smell, slightly better hearing than normal, has a slight ability to sense vibrations, possesses a mild chameleon like ability to blend into his surroundings, slightly above natural healing factor, but cannot speak due to his reptilian vocal chords. 
*Strength- Can lift and throw a car with very little effort
*Speed- Is deceptively fast for short bursts.
*Energy Projection- none.
*Defense- Virtually bulletproof barring AP rounds, resistant to blunt attacks, and has a mild resistance to flame and blades.
*Fighting Ability- Overwhelms opponents with his sheer strength, is good at using makeshift weapons, and is a good at using stealth as a tactic in natural environments.
*Intelligence- Is clever and cunning, despite his appearance.

Roger Crycheck-?- Russian/American, formerly black ops, high level military training, an expert marksman, fluent in Arabic, Chinese, Russian, and English, knowledgeable with demolitions, and since exiting the military has worked as a contract killer quite successfully.
-Powers: Time- Can slow down time to a max of 3/4ths normal speed for about 8 seconds while maintaining his own normal reflexes for 10 yards, can slow down an object up to 100% for 5 seconds with a max range of about 385 yards, can't do both at once at a high capacity, and using his powers is physically draining like running.
*Strength- In top shap, humanly strong
*Speed- excellent cardio, time slow gives him superhuman speed
*Energy Projection-none
*Defense- Relies on his powers to avoid danger, but that hinges on his ability to be aware of trouble in the first place.
*Fighting Ability- An expert combatant, from any range.
*Intelligence- Brilliant tactician and strategist.

Cyreen Ninian- 28-  African American, scientific wunderkind, expert in chemistry and physics, emotionally distant, is obsessive and extremely focused on her career, photographic memory, recreational fencer and is the an upcoming expert on advanced technology.
-Powers- Cybernetics- Body is completely robotic, gives her super strength, durability, speed, and her body can store electricity and fire it from her fingers as a lightning gun, does not feel fatigue, can fly with anti-grav generators, but it takes a lot of power to run. Metal body means it is very hard to do any damage to her. Can absorb electricity through touch or proximity.
*Strength- Can bend steel and punch through un-reinforced materials
*Speed- Can run at up to 60 mph and fly at 90 mph.
*Energy Projection- Can wield electricity to devastating effect
*Defense- Bulletproof with high resistances to most conventional forms of attack. Is also immune to most electrical attacks due to her ability to channel it.
*Fighting Ability- Has no actual training, and instead relies on her brains and strength to win fights.
*Intelligence- A prodigy

Randel Tex- 25- Caucasian, guitarist musician, roadie, is an good repairman, good gambler, speaks a smattering of languages, is the wild child of the family, and has some basic medical training.
-Powers- Frost-by releasing energy gained from converting liquid to frost can dash at high speeds for short distances. Can manipulate and freeze liquids to form various objects or constructs, is easier to do the closer he is to the liquid and the size/freezability of the liquid. Can chill an opponent's blood through direct physical contact causing intense pain and discomfort.
*Strength- Average strenth
*Speed- frost dash gives him, potentially, superspeed.
*Energy Projection- low to high. Depending on liquid/moisture can have the most power fluctuations.
*Defense-Between his speed and ability to put up ice barriers is versatile defensively
*Fighting Ability- Brawler, is a vicious fighter, carries a 44 magnum as a precaution against thieves.
*Intelligence- Observant, knows people's behavior, has a working knowledge of first aid.
