Lords Cardinal - A new Inner Circle for the Hellfire Club
My idea of what a reconstituted Hellfire Club might look like. I went back to the original idea of a conspiracy of superhumans who are also wealthy and powerful.
List items
-
Due to her established association with the Hellfire Club, a return with enhanced vocal control powers to rival the late X-man Banshee could make her a powerful White Rook in a new inner circle of the Hellfire Club.
-
A descendant of the Cassidy line, perhaps Black Tom has his own small fortune, or maybe the family name combined with his superhuman powers is enough to let him into the inner circle as the muscle and as a probationary Black Rook.
-
With superhuman abilities and martial arts skills to rival Captain America, Paul Hark could easily turn his leadership of Sydney's Chinese Triad into an asset. This could earn him a membership among the inner circle as White Bishop.
-
As fittest and leader of Clan Akkaba in the wake of Apocalypse' demise, Frederick Slade would be free to use the family wealth and power to his own ends. The Clan plus his own shape-shifting and teleportation powers could be enough to get him a place in the inner circle as Black Bishop.
-
Due to her long standing association with the Hellfire Club and her own formidable psychic abilities Emma Steed could serve as this inner circle's White Queen.
-
Taking over where the Phoenix's fashion career left off could bring this character some of the wealth that Hellfire Club members usually enjoy. To bring this about perhaps the disembodied Maddie could return in the body of one of Mister Sinister's "brides". Armed with vast psionic and demonic powers she would be ideal to return to the Hellfire fold as the newly promoted Black Queen.
-
Getting back to the Crime Lord roots of Amahl Farouk, the Shadow King could bring his own illicit brand of telepathy and wealth to the table as the inner circle's newest White King.
-
The super-humanly strong owner of Shaw Industries, Sebastian Shaw could once again return as the inner circle's Black King.
