The Looking gLass gang, ParT 2Reports or from the Emerald City Knights adventure series may fit into White Rabbits vision for the Looking Glass Gang, allowing you to introduce (or re-introduce) them into your series in a novel way. Here are just some of the possibilities:

Anvil (TR#5): With his invulnerability and size, Anvil might be dressed up in the role of the Mock Turtle, a good deal more melancholy under White Rabbits influence.

Battle Brothers (TR#37): Ideal candidates to become the Tweedledee and Tweedledum of the gang.

Black Vulture (TR#16): Another candidate for the Griffon, or possibly the Crow (the Red Kings Bishop).

Cortex (TR#23): Best suited for the part of Humpty Dumpty in the Gang. Cortex might come into conflict if he sees White Rabbit cutting into his turf, leading to his recruitment into the gang.

Faster Pussycat (TR#22): The glamorous thief could become the gangs Cheshire Cat, able to

Curiouser and Curiouser...The nature of the Looking Glass Gang and White Rabbits abilities are such that the gangs membership may contin-ue to change over time, following the theme of Linholms obsession with Alice in Wonderland. New members may replace those captured and even removed from White Rabbits influence, either filling existing roles in the gang or adding new ones. Some existing villains in other Threat

vanish in an instant. How the blessings (and plans) of Bast would interact with White Rabbits powers is left up to the GM.

Gator (ECK#2): A replacement for Bill the Lizard, perhaps.

Mindfire (TR#7): The cruel Mindfire becomes a fiery Queen of Hearts; when she proclaims Off with their heads! with her psionic powers, she may mean it lit-erally!

Octaman (ECK#0): The hapless Octaman could end up a Caterpillar for the Gang under White Rabbits influence.

Mongoose (ECK#0): Also a possible Cheshire Cat, if Faster Pussycat doesnt work out.

Pack-Rat (TR#1): A potential replacement for Dor-mouse, or taking up the role of the Mouse (trapped in a pool of tears and relating his own unique tale).

Sleepwalker (TR#28): With her powers, Sleepwalker could be virtually any member of the Looking Glass Gang. Perhaps, in conjunction with White Rabbits abilities, she could even be all of them, manifest-ing the power to split into multiple super-forms, or manifest them as mental projections. This could make Ida Merrid into White Rabbits new Alice, par-ticularly given her own literary interests. She could also be a new Mad Hatter, able to wear different iden-tities as her many hats.

Tribal (TR#8): With his animalistic powers, he is likely to end up as the Griffon (perhaps teamed with Anvils Mock Turtle). Under White Rabbits influence, the in-ner-city gangster acquires a strange Cockney accent and arrogant, dismissive attitude.

Any or all of these new recruits are likely to be very unhappy with White Rabbit if and when his influence wears off and they return to their senses, particularly given the outlandish costumes theyre likely to be wearing, and the things theyll only vaguely recall doing.

aLiCeReal Name: Alice BanksOccupation: Former studentBase: Mobile

Alice didnt ask for any of this. She didnt ask to be out shop-ping on Yellow Brick Row the day of the Silver Storm. She didnt ask to acquire the strange power to change her size, and she certainly didnt ask to attract the attention of White Rabbit. But it was destiny, you see. How else to explain it? That a lovely blond young woman, right out of a story-book, with the power to change her size to fit into White Rabbits Wonderland? It was meant to be. Oh, she took a bit of persuading, but Alice came to understand that life

with her new friends is better, even if she sometimes feels that its all a bit mad.

Alices power allows her to go from her normal just over five-foot height to some fifty feet tall, or to shrink down to the size of a mouse (a real one, not a fellow like Dor-mouse). At her full height, shes strong enough to fling a bus hundreds of feet through the air and shrug off gunfire. At her smallest, she can slip unnoticed into care-fully guarded places.

The haTTerReal Name: Reginald Reggie TybaltOccupation: Inventor, criminalBase: Mobile

Best not to call him mad. The Hatter was never mad, oh, a bit perturbed, certainly. Who wouldnt be, at having their lifes work con-stantly questioned by lesser in-tellects? Is it his fault he couldnt properly explain dimensional compression and wormhole con-tainment to those dunderheads? No! But they insisted, oh yes, and on all of their safety protocols and their oversight committees blathering on and on about Professor Zed and Cerebrus Rex and pre-vious trouble with dimensional interfaces and whatnot. They didnt understand what it was like to be on the verge of a world-changing breakthrough; how could they? Reggie was so very frustrated with them all, until White Rabbit opened his eyes and helped him to see. He didnt need any of them!

What a breakthrough it was! The first portal locked on to something and she came through: all shining and in red, their new Queen. It was a pity about the lab, but then you cant deal a hand without shuffling the cards, eh? It was an easy matter to build the quantum conductor ring inside an old hatband to hide it. Nothing up his sleeve (save his arm), but always able to pull a new trick out of the ol hat.

Thats the Hatter for you. Now with his friends and the beautiful Red Queen it will be tea-time forever!

The Hatters hat tricks all involved pulling things out of the extradimensional space inside his hat, from outpour-ings of marbles to big hats that shrink to cover the top of a foes head to giant powder puffs and shrinking hatbands of tensile steel. He can grab a cupful of narcotic tea to splash in someones face or even catch incoming attacks in the warp of the hat and hurl them back! As an added trick, the hat is locked to the Hatters quantum signa-ture: he can summon it to him whenever and wherever he wishes (the hat isnt Removable, it just looks like it is). He might even let someone think theyve taken it away, for a moment, before calling it back.

red QueenReal Name: UnknownOccupation: GuideBase: Mobile

When the omniverse itself was young, a race of beings whose name has long since been forgot-ten built the Navigational Matri-ces, giving them intelligence and the power to bridge the dimen-sional gulf, and setting them to act as guides and explorers of the infinitude of worlds.

Eons ago, the Matrices were all shut down to prevent the spread of a sentient techno-virus. When the re-activation signal was sent, however, the surviving Matrices found that millions of years had passed. How long exactly, they couldnt tell. Most of them were gone, and those that survived had substantial memory-core and systems damage. The surviving Matrices discovered their home reality had been devastated by a war that destroyed or scattered the Builders. Only primitive life flourished in their dimension, and the only reason they had been re-activated was thanks to inter-dimensional explorers who inadvertently reactivated a Matrix they found adrift in in-terstitial space-time.

A quantum shift in a nearby dimension created an eddy that swept a damaged Matrix into that reality. Subjected to the psychic influence of White Rabbit, the vulnerable sentience circuits of the Matrix were overwhelmed and imprinted with the archetype of the Red Queen. Her temporal circuitry allows her to influence the local flow of time in this dimension but her dimensional-bridging circuitry is damaged and her auto-repair systems are not restoring it for some reason. Still, the Red Queen has new friends who are helping her to find her place in the world.
