Avengers Incarnate (Earth-42)

The Avengers Incarnate is a branch of the S.H.I.E.L.D. orginization known as the Avengers. They run out of the European island of Slodatha (located near the Strait of Gibraltar), and are composed of an elite team of highly regarded magic users. They delve into supernatural, other-dimmensional events, such as ghostly happenings. The majority of the team is composed of  villains, whom have been put under close watch (i.e. with shock collars), by S.H.I.E.L.D. They have been known to ally themselves with both dark and light spirits, making the team's allegiances questionable. Avengers Incarnate is led by Doctor Strange, with his second in command being Scarlet Witch.

Base of Operations
Avengers Incarnate runs out of a small, off-the-maps island known as Slodatha. The history of Slodatha is shrouded in secrecy, buried deep within S.H.I.E.L.D. archives. Rumors have it, however, that Director Nick Fury forced Sandman to create the island for military use. The island is divided into four quadrants, with a sector outpost at each cardinal point. Cybernetic sentries are armed and ready at every moment of the day, and a permanent enchantment cast by Doctor Strange keeps the island shrouded from mortal or enemy eyes.

Notable places on the island include:
 * Facility 42: This is the main base from which Avengers Incarnate operates. Here they are supplied with a gymnasium, nadatorium, archive/library, briefing room, mess hall, bunking quarters, and covert training room. A bath house (gender respective) is also included, with seperate meditation rooms also added for additonal comfort. Facility 42 is hidden inside of Mount Crona, which appears as a volcano from the outside.
 * Hanger Bay 9: Hangary Bay 9 is a set of hidden tunnels beneath Facility 42 that stores a vast pile of new, unused S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicles. Rarely in use, however, are these vehicles, due to the teams affinity for teleportation.
 * Dragon's Jungle: The large jungle that surrounds most of Slodatha is home to many-a-fierce creatures, such as romaing Drakons and ghostly Ghouls. However, Dragon's Jungle has proven to be a unique training area for the team, as they test their might against the creatures that dwell in the woods.
 * Kangwala Domalitth Salvrak (The Portal of Spirits): The Portal of Spirits (in English tongue) is a massive spiritual gateway (hidden from the eye of mortal and weak magic users) that allows sorrceror supremes and higher magical beings to close the bridge between the spirit and mortal worlds. Doctor Strange and Daimon Hellstrom often come here to commune with their ancestors, in both the afterlife and roaming forms.

Active Members

 * Leader: Stephen Strange / Doctor Strange: Doctor Strange was assigned with the task of leading and training the Avengers Incarnate. In the beggining, he was reluctant to take on the job of training four, highly decorated super villains. However, the inclusion of Scarlet Witch, and her added cohersion, eventually convinced him to take the role of leader. He takes direct orders from Nick Fury, however, occassionaly goes out of his way to defy commands in order to save members of the team. He has an affinity for Cosmic Magic.
 * Second-in-Command: Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch: Wanda Maximoff, a highly prestieged mutant magician, joined the team in order to be closer to Daimon Hellstrom, who she had prior fallen in love with. Thought not sure if he returned the same feelings, Wanda was determined to find out. She also felt that she needed to repay her debt to Stephen "Dr." Strange for saving her life in Genosha. She has an affinity for Hexes.
 * Nightmare: Nightmare - one of Strange's most noticeable villains - was forced to join AI, in order to redeem himself of his recent attrocaties against the nation of Croatia. Strange, who believed that Nightmare could be rehabilitated, promised to keep a close watch on this villain, who wears a shock collar around his neck at all times. Nightmare specializes in Fear Magic.
 * Amora / Enchantress: Enchantress was captured on Earth by Thor, and brought into S.H.I.E.LD. custody years ago. Kept in captivaty on board a secret, dreaded facility underwater, Amora sprung at the chance of freedom and joined the Avengers Incarnate when asked. She promises to keep her behavior in check, but she has become recently reckless as a love triangle has formed between she, Scarlet Witch, and Daimon Hellstrom. Amora specializes in Trick Magic and Illusion Magic.
 * Daimon Hellstrom: The son of Satan, Daimon Hellstrom signed a contract with a fallen angel (posed as a Demon), which stated he serve ten billion years as a servant of good deed on Earth. In order to speed up this process, Daimon was signed on to join the Avengers Incarnate, to which he proved to be a quickly needed ally. Daimon is ruthless and smart, and is the brute of the team. He has an affinity for fiery, destructive Magic.
 * Morgan le Fay: Morgan le Fay was ressurected from the dead, brought to Slodatha and forced to join the Incarnates. She was promised a return to the afterlife, but only after serving the Incarante initiative for as long as deemed worthy. With no other choice, le Fay bitterly agreed and is now a permanent member of the team. She specializes in Necromancy.

Innactive/Potential Members

 * Doctor Voodoo: Was a founding member of the team, but left within two days due to disagreements with Doctor Strange.
 * Nico Minoru: Nico was a candidate for the spot of Second-in-Command, and held the position for a week or two, until she was deemed too young by Nick Fury and moved to the latter Avenger's team, Shadow Avengers. Strange states however, "Tis a shame we lost such a potential ally. I fear for the man who gets on her bad side."
 * Magik: Illyana Rasputin considered joining the team, however, turned the position down after deeming it, "a load of shit in ol' Strangey's wizard hat."
