The Seven Guns
The Seven Guns are posthumans. Their abilities are somewhat vague, but they seem to have access to some kind of radiotelepathy and an enhanced nervous system.
John Horus: possibly the leader. His "gun" is a swarm of eye-like devices, which apparently allow flight, possibly produce a force field and allow energy projection. Dresses in white, clothes resemble an officer's outfit from the US Civil War, but with Masonic symbols, or Eye of Ra sigils.
Tom Noir: crippled, missing his left leg below the knee.
Zoe:
Angel One:
Dominic:
Kathy Artemis:
Laura Tarrant: deceased. Killed in the same explosion that took Tom's leg.
