Real Name Miiyahbin Marten

ADVANTAGES: Contact (Justice League) -5D

POWERS: Miiyahbin’s powers are linked to Canada’s seasons. As such, her abilities fluctuate depending on the time of the year. It is important to pay attention to the Limitations attached to certain powers:

Flight 7D, Microwave Projection 8D, Sustenance 4D, Ice Manipulation 7D (Limitation: Winter only) , Light Manipulation 7D (Limitation: Summer only), Plant Manipulation 7D (Spring only)

Note: We have yet to see what powers Equinox has in autumn. If your adventure is set in autumn and DC still hasn’t revealed what her actual powers are, I would suggest Weather Manipulation 7D (Limit: Autumn only).

BACKGROUND: After reaching the age of sixteen, Miiyahbin found herself being tormented by a creature called the Whitago. Drawing on knowledge she wasn’t aware she had, she spoke the word “Keewatin” and was transformed into Equinox. Later, she witnessed a battle between former members of the Justice League of America fighting an alien near her hometown, and returned to the site with her friend Heather. They discovered an alien base there, and Miiyahbin was grabbed by a creature. As it happens, that creature was the Whitago again, and it trapped her in a cave, tempting her to transform and dismiss it or succumb to it. Meanwhile, a spatially displaced Alanna Lewis found herself returned to the Rannian research bunker in Moosonee to find Heather, who begged her for help in finding Miiyahbin. Soon, they discovered her in the cave, but were stalked by the Whitago. Reluctantly, Miiyahbin said her word of power, transformed, and destroyed the Whitago.

After rendezvousing with the rest of the League, Alanna and Miiyahbin visited the girl’s grandmother to get answers to their questions. Miiyahbin already knew that the Whitago is the Bogeyman of her culture, thought to be the spirits of those who drowned or starved. Upon confronting her grandmother, the old woman explained that Miiyahbin was like her, a Midayo – guided by seven spirits of Cree life – love, humility, bravery, truth, respect, wisdom, and honesty – to battle the Whitagos who embody the seven dark pillars of dominion, control, aggression, deception, greed, selfishness, and fear. The two forces had fought for all time, and Miiyahbin’s own father had fallen victim to the Whitago. Unfortunately, the Whitago could not be destroyed; only prevented from harming others. With this knowledge and Alanna’s support, Miiyahbin returned to the cave and faced her fear of the Whitago with bravery, drawing her father’s spirit out of it. Impressed, Alanna took Miiyahbin back to the League.

As Equinox, Miiyahbin aided the League during the so-called Infinitus Saga. She has not been seen since but it can be assumed that she continues to protect her homeland from various threats.
