Team Finished: The Heroes of the Revolution

Those across the Omniverse who have encountered the being known as "Ulysses" mark him mostly as an enigma, but there are those who have spent more time around him and formed what could be called relationships. For a fortunate few in the right place and era, Ulysses can be called a teammate and a hero. During the worst days of the French Revolution, those that would become known as "The Terror", a war for the future of humanity was waged in the shadows between strange factions. If not for the actions of a handful of adventurers and a man out of time, the history of the world would have been much different.

The Heroes of the Revolution
(Fleu-de-lis, Baron Munchausen, Ulysses, The Highwayman and The Scarlet Pimpernel) 

The Heroes of the Revolution
In the early days of his inter-dimensional adventuring, Ulysses most often operated alone, challenging himself to conquer and defeat his foes without aid. All that changed when he first encountered a time-line in which Maximilien Robespierre attempted to conquer the world with Chaos Magic. Knowing that a magocratic dictatorship built on terror would lead the the end of humanity before the century was over, he decided to intervene in a way he had never considered previously. Ulysses gathered the best adventurers and warriors he could find, and built a superhero team.

Fleur-de-lis (Privateer Press) and Ulysses (converted Heroclix)

Fleur-de-lis: One of the greatest bounty hunters of her day, Fleur-de-lis was renowned for being as beautiful as she was ruthless. Armed with unique and hand-made dueling pistols, Fleur is a dead-eye shot as well as an expert tracker and a pugilist not to be underestimated. Due to her mercenary nature, Fleur was, in fact the easiest member of the Heroes for Ulysses to recruit, buying her loyalty and expertise with gold. Fleur is a woman alone in many ways, keeping much of her history to herself, though her decent physical health would seem to indicate a moneyed birth, and her taciturn facade an unpleasant past. 

Ulysses: In this, more primitive, era than were Ulysees can typically be found, the enigmatic adventurer is forced to remain more in the background of events to preserve history. Directing his team to fight the good fight is a new experience for the conqueror, as much for the company as for unambiguously fighting on the side of justice. Will this become a trend for Ulysses in his personal future? Only (relative) time will tell. These things get screwy when dealing with time travelers.

The Scarlet Pimpernel (Reaper) and the foppish Sir Percy Blakeney (Eureka) 

The Scarlet Pimpernel: Few who know the foppish dandy Sir Percy would credit that he is, in truth, that damned, accursed Pimpernel. Blakeney is a master of guile, having the world convinced that he is an idle dandy and that the Scarlet Pimpernel is a gentleman adventurer. In truth, as the Pimpernel, Blakeney is a brutal fighter, having trained in hand-to-hand combat for years and having little to no regard for the anti-monarchist Frenchmen he's beating to a pulp. Another loner not used to working with a team of equally-able comrades, the Pimpernel's aristocratic origins often have him biting his tongue when receiving orders or having to wait for others to catch up.

Baron Munchhausen (Eureka) and The Highwayman (Black Scorpion) 

Baron Munchhausen: Baron Hieronymus Karl Friedrich, Freiherr von Münchhausen was a legendary hero long before Ulysses turned up at his door and requested his help to save the world. A veteran of the Russo-Turkish war, Munchhausen's extraordinary life is rendered all the more fantastic because of the reality of it all. That Munchhausen has survived everything he has, fought giants, flown to the moon, ridden cannonballs and danced with a goddess mark him as a Superhero long before the booms of the 20th Century. How did he get his, clearly luck-based, powers? The truth may never be known, but Munchhausen himself will remain a legend for all history. 

The Highwayman: Most people believe that the legendary Highwayman, Dick Turpin, was executed in 1739, but the truth is far more sinister. The Royal Intelligence Office undertook an elaborate plan to fake Turpin's death and install him as a deniable agent in external affairs; after all, how could a dead man be responsible for the kidnap of a foreign dignitary? A skilled gunfighter, brawler and burglar, Turpin has been a mole inside of the Revolutionaries since the fall of the Bastille, feeding information to the British government and working a small profit for himself on the side. Ulysses sought out and recruited Turpin for his team knowing that his larcenous skills were of as much value as his penchant for murder.
