Watchstar 2020

In one possible future, the world was conquered by ARGUS, an artificial intelligence designed and built by MAGUS. Taking control of Earth's computer networks, ARGUS killed or absorbed the Earth's superhumans, enforcing its tyrannical rule with cybertroopers cloned from the original Cobra. The only remaining force to fight for freedom was Watchstar, the world's last superheroes.

Assisted by Watchstar 3, who had travelled to the future, the heroes overthrew ARGUS and restored human rule to Earth. The consequences of this battle have yet to be determined.

Trace (Jason Young) is the son of Surge. Like his father, his parahuman electrical powers manifested themselves at puberty. With the power to travel through computer networks, he was considered by ARGUS to be the most dangerous threat to its rule.

Mobius is the sole member of the original Watchstar hero roster. He travelled back in time to enlist the aid of Watchstar 3 and prevent his dark future from ever occuring.

Dakota (Dakota Blake) is the daughter of Kodiak and Jade. Born with the superhuman strength and cosmic energies of her parents, she grew up in the ruins of Los Angeles, using her superpowers to survive, until she was taken in by Rebel.

Rebel (Colonel Jeb Sutherland) was a veteran of countless battles. As a commander in the resistance army, he assumed Watchstar team leadership after the death of Surge. He raised Dakota as his own after his best friend, Kodiak, was killed fighting ARGUS.

Protector (Rico Salazar) was originally the technical genius of the Watchstar support team and later married Booster. When Booster was killed by ARGUS, Rico refurbished the powered armor originally belonging to Protector and wore it as a hero. He sacrificed himself to save Watchstar 3 in a climactic battle at ARGUS' main headquarters.
