Real Name: Unknown
Occupation: Alien criminal
Legal Status: Only surviving citizen of unidentified planet—her existence is not known to the general populace of Earth
Identity: None
Place of Birth: An unidentified planet
Marital Status: Now single, possibly widowed
Known Relatives: None
Base of Operations: Mobile
Past Group Affiliations: Ally of Graviton as a member of the “Unified Forces”
Known Powers:
Aging: By touch, Halflife can age any organic being or material half way through its normal lifespan, with Amazing ability. She must touch an opponent using her Fighting score. Each touch causes the victim to lose one rank from each of his/her physical abilities, with a resulting Health decrease. If the victim’s Health drops to 0, the victim has died of old age. If Halflife is knocked unconscious any victim who has not already died will regain full abilities and Health.
Armor provides no protection against Halflife’s special touch, although
Force Fields will. Halflife can not affect inorganic materials or beings,
including energy beings such as Wonder Man or artificial constructs like the
Vision.
Skin Armor: Haiflife’s alien physiology provides her with the
equivalent of Good armor.
Talents:
Halflife has Typical rank Meditative skills.
Contacts:
Halflife was an ally of Graviton, although it is unlikely that she would call on him for help.
Role-Playing Notes:
Halflife is a vicious killer who cold heartedly murdered everyone on her home planet. She values silence and tranquility and if presented with no obvious target, will usually attack the noisiest opponent. She is deeply hostile towards anyone who embodies “life” and is an uneasy ally at best.
History:
Little is known of the history of the woman called “Halflife,” or how she obtained her bizarre powers. It is known that she is an alien from a previously unencountered race of beings. It is unlikely that her power is natural, as she has claimed that she used it to kill every other being on her native planet.
Haiflife was eventually contacted by Graviton, who sought to bring together a group of allies based on the “fundamental forces” of the universe. Haiflife exemplified the “weak force,” the attraction between matter and anti-matter. She somehow came to Earth where she entered into an alliance with Graviton, Zzzax, and the alien known as Quantum.
Although Zzzax was defeated, the other three “Fundamental Forces” were able to temporarily defeat the West Coast Avengers. However, Tigra managed to escape and, disguised as one of Graviton’s guards, convinced Halflife that Quantum was preparing to kill her. Halflife’s ability to strip life proved a stalemate against Quantum’s super-strength and ability to recreate himself. Attempting to break up the fight between the two, Graviton applied his own power and the resulting cataclysm caused Halflife’s power to seemingly burn out. Graviton’s powers failed and the chunk of earth the Fundamental Forces had been using as a headquarters flew off into space, with Halflife still on it. Her final fate is still unknown.
