Hi guys, I'm a recent addition to this forum with a passion for Ironhide's games like most of you. Like others here, I came up with some towers, units and hero ideas as I've continued playing the Kingdom Rush games, and I figured I should finally put them out for feedback.
I posted in the "Kingdom Rush 4 Speculation" thread of an admittedly overly-ambitious idea to include both a hero and a villain storyline with details of possible units for the villains side. Looking back, I think it'd be more appropriate to continue that idea in a new thread. But right now, I'd like to introduce the Heroes I came up with for the villains storyline in a possible future Kingdom Rush game. (Wait...does that make them "villains" then? I'm starting to confuse myself...)

Sorry if this a long post. I decided to leave out the stats because I didn't want to impose much--just giving the rough outline so we can discuss the empirical stuff together. Also, I didn't want to get too political with the bios, but I figured I could give some of the characters more than just simply "For the evulz!" or "Revenge!"
Do you guys think the hero (villain) concepts seem interesting enough? Should more be done for their abilities? (I admit to feeling a little lazy on a few of these) Should another character be made? Also don't forget to check out the towers and unit ideas! (unless you think it should be moved somewhere else)
