History: (Marshal Law: Fear and Loathing (Epic)) - Purgatory and her sidekick Whipping Boy were members of the Jesus League of America, America’s most beloved superheroes. They preached Christian values and morality, although they were all terrible hypocrites. Purgatory took great relish in whipping and physically abusing her sidekick. The Jesus League announced man’s first mission to the stars, and many people in the nation prayed that Public Spirit would be selected. Public Spirit said he believed in prayer, and belied God had chosen him to go to space. He showed little regret at leaving everyone else behind, making Virago, who was pregnant with his child, unnerved. Public Spirit flew into space towards Nemesis, the sun’s sister star, aboard a craft capable of near lightspeed.
