the Greenery Man: A hope for the future.
Crunch Writeup: Game mechanics yo!
PL0/6pp.
Real name is Damien Whistler. Male strawberry-Leaf mutant. The Greenery Man is the most famous Leaf alive! This is for one reason: the Greenery Man has the power to vastly increase the number of Leaf sproutlings Leaf couples can have, by way of deep meditation and a friendly prayer. Also, once every month and a half, the Greenery Man may transform mundane plant sprouts into Leaf sproutlings!
As a result, the Greenery Man is in constant demand, and the Leaf race is slowly rebuilding its numbers with his help.
The Greenery Man is a deacon in Turning Over Anew Ministries!
Because of his immense importance, the Dream Moth has placed two Hegemonic Giants---a pair of identical twin brothers!---as the Greenery Man's permanent bodyguards! Placeholder.
The Greenery Man wrote:”We all must do our part to make our planet as wonderful as possible for everyone, not just mutants!”

Leopold Wynters: The treacherous underling.
Crunch Writeup: Here!!!
PL6/67pp. Male maharajah.
Dr. Leopold Wynters is the vile, cunning second-in-command of the Orbitals---despite
not being an Orbital himself!
Though he believes himself to be a Mentat and a mutant, in reality Dr. Wynters is neither: rather, he's a maharajah, a non-mutant psychic. As Mentats're all mentally ill, Wynters believes he
is mentally unstable, when, in fact!, he is
not unbalanced psychologically.
Because he's not a mutant, Dr. Wynters is utterly immune to The Purity's anti-mutant technology.
the Orbital Man: Mad with power, crazed by isolation and bent on world conquest.
Crunch Writeup: Here!!!
PL9/223pp. Real name is Sandy Upminster. Male Benign Tumor mutant.
The Orbital Man was once a NASA astronaut, before his mutant heritage exploded forth and held him captive in Earth's orbit.
Few supervillains have dreams quite as grandiose as that of the Orbital Man's. A human-seeming mutant, the Orbital Man desires nothing less than to merge his slightly-out-of-synch memetic core with the Earth, below---catapulting the stranded mutant to genuine cosmic entity status! But that is only the begining...
A Supermanalogue, the Orbital Man is trapped in orbit around Earth as the very nature of his mutations demand it be so. However, there is a unique side-effect to this: the Orbital Man may grant a copy of 1/12th his powers to 12 non-mutant humans---creating the Orbitals! The Orbital Man himself loses no powers in the process, and can reclaim his gifts at a moment's notice. Furthermore, he's in constant telepathic contact with his Orbital minions!
This is due to the Orbital Man's unique condition: his soul---his memetic core!---is out of synch with his corporeal body, thus allowing him to flagrantly violate the laws of biological science. Hence his scheme: if he could meld his memetic core with Earth, itself, he
would literally become the planet's soul and guiding sentience---thereby
becoming Earth in the process!
Despite being a mutant, the Orbital Man is the Exemplar of Orbitals. Placeholder.
The Orbital Man wrote:”Serve me, and grow strong, for I am the STRONGEST of them all!”

Warring Worm:
Crunch Writeup:
PL12/230pp. Genderless ('male' personality) nephilim uber-brick. Normally,
Warring Worm is a genderless humanoid made of pure titanium; in the background forever lurks the Potentiality, a semi-sentient 'cloud' of so-called 'possibility steel' particles. Normally powerless, the Potentiality may be 'worn' by Warring Worm, turning the strange nephilim warrior into a metal-mimicking powerhouse!
