Baba – The Cackling, Beady, Hexing Hero
Baba is described with the traits "Cackling, Beady, Hexing." The character appears to have a more supernatural theme, with the reference to hexing suggesting a connection to magic or other unusual abilities.

Deadman Danny – The Reckless, High-Flying Hero
Deadman Danny is characterized as "Reckless, High-Flying, Explosive." The description points toward a fast-moving character with an emphasis on aerial movement and explosions.
