Gerry's Description from Facebook:

Mogurakh is one of Hoodoo's greatest foes. Once a star, he gained sentience thanks to the denizens of the world that once orbited him. They were master magicians, but in their hubris doomed their planet. To save their knowledge, they combined it all into a massive spell to send out into their universe, hoping others would be enlightened by it.

As they cast the spell, their world exploded, and the path of the spell went right into the sun. It gave the sun sentience, and it took a humanoid form. Calling itself Mogurakh, it conquered most of its dimension before setting its sights on the dimension Earth resides in. Mogurakh and Hoodoo have clashed many times, and Hoodoo has restorted to trickery to overcome his more powerful foe.

Gerry's Description from Facebook:

Olax, the Gargoyle by Night

To better protect the Sacrarium, Hoodoo brought to life Olax, the Gargoyle by Night. Olax is normally a stone statue during daytime; at night he comes to life, and his primary purpose is to protect the Sacrarium. However, the spell Hoodoo cast was faulty, and Olax developed a strong sense of curiosity. He tends to fly around the city at night, observing and learning from the humans around him. He also has discovered he could read, and has read some of the books in the Sacrarium.

Besides his natural Gargoyle abilities of flight, keen senses, above human strength, and hardened skin, Olax has learned to cast magic of his own. He's still very much a novice, but as he absorbs more knowledge, his magical skill grows.

Yellow Wolf (Open Source)

Real Name: Barnaby Wolf

Created by: Marz Workman, 7-21-13

Golden Age Origin: Barnaby worked as a researcher at a local museum. He was working late one night when thieves broke in to steal artifacts. Barnaby caught them and attempted to fight them off. He was thrown across the storeroom and into a shelf. A box fell on him and opened. The medallion inside fell out onto his chest. As he grabbed it, it began to glow. The glow then covered his entire body.

The thieves were hauling artifacts out to a truck when Barnaby appeared and began taking out the crooks. Soon, they were all defeated. Barnaby realized he wasn’t the same. He looked at his clawed hands, then at the thieves. He fled into the night.

He becomes a superhero and fights crime in the streets, and later, in the war. He carries two tonfas which he usually carries on his back.

Feb 8, 2014: Corey Grant's take, done in HeroMachine. He replaced the "W" on the chest with a howling wolf in a black circle.

Nov 2, 2015: Art by Miguel Neira Balbontin. Changed the full-bodied wolf on the chest from Corey's version to just a wolf head. Also made the cowl wolf-head-shaped. Miguel's imagined history for Yellow Wolf (it's open source):

Here Comes the Yellow Wolf By Marz Workman, a golden age hero. I Figure the Supreme Mind has many of those legends caught in a Vault so he could make facsimiles of them. He Needs the originals so the outcomes could be accurately a mirror of them, powers and everything. Since the medalion that turned Barnaby Wolf into his superhero persona cannot be removed, he uses his template as well. one day those heroes shall awaken released by the Dynamic Dozen and the Final Battle against Evil shall rage until Justice is restored. In Terms of his design, i thought it needed something more related to the Wolf Motif, so The Cowl shall have a wolf´s head shape,at least in this Version

Jack's Description from Facebook:

Ultra-Man, the inevitable Superman-clone of the Guardians team. (The wings are just for the publicity picture.)

The first superhero to arise in the Guardians universe. He fought the Nazis, and then the Communists, and then the terrorists, and is basically a house-hold name, having been around since 1929. despite being a century old, he's looks as young as it appears in this picture.

His moral attitudes are nuanced. While he is accepting of all people and is protective of the rights of all minority groups, be they based in race, culture, sexual orientation, religion (or lack thereof), and trans-status, the easy availability of sexual material in the modern world, the willingness of modern women to jump into sex work seeming on a whim, and the general lack of religiousness in today's world bother him somewhat. He's not a bluenose conservative by any means, but he was born in 1909 and grew up as a god-fearing farm boy in Nevraska and sometimes it shows. The polite way to describe it is... he's quaint and old-fashioned. He tries to not be rude about it, but sometimes...

Ultra-Man has all the powers possessed by Superman, barring the heat vision. There is no kryprtonite in the Guardians universe, and his biggest vulnerbility seem to be telepathic attacks.

Jack's Description from Facebook:

Tachyon

Another member of the Guardians, Earth's mightiest heroes. Tachyon is a speedster capable of moving at unearthly speed. He can generate electricity and often does by accident while moving. Tachyon is capable of running fast enough to ascend walls and cross water without sinking. (Amazingly enough, he has never shocked or shorted himself out because of his electrical generation while crossing water.)

And to address the great ape in the room, yes, Tachyon is a gorilla. A fully sentient gorilla. He is capable of speaking English (though he has an odd method of pronouncing certain words due to the natural shape of his throat, mouth, and tongue), and is easily as smart as any human.

He's not sure of his origin, but DNA analysis has revealed that sometime in his past, his genome was tampered with. He has no memort of it happening.

In addition to his work as a superhero, he is an ardent conservationist and an advocate for the protection of the world's ape species.
