*main character's body becomes possessed by her evil aunt

Main character learns she is part of a time traveling family

Main character works as a librarian and visits many libraries over the course of the story.

By the way, I changed my display name. I used to just be "Ana". If you could please edit the members list to my updated name, that'd be great, Mpauli. Thanks. :)

The Golden Specific/Nova/Cancerverse/1 of 3
A Crucible of Souls/Thor/God of Thunder/1 of 3
This week was another win for Team Marvel, mainly due to a lot of single book points, as the defeats/recruitments were very even.
For Team DC Milou defeated the Penguin, while Veronica took the achievement for being the first player to recruit Atom and Kate did the same for adding Black Canary to her roster.
For Team Marvel Rinn and Wayland defeated the Penguin and Christina got the achievement for being the first player to recruit Ms Marvel and Meera was the first to recruit Jessica Jones.
Team DC decided the Energy Cell race for them this week by adding 3 cells to Team Marvel's 0.
In other news we had new players joining in. Rian is now part of Team Marvel and to even the teams out again I added Kimberley to Team DC. Have fun! :)
I also updated Ana's name to Ana A as requested.
And last, but not least our villain of the month for February was revealed to be Mystique! You can find her challenges in the villain post, in the seperate Villain/Portal Hero thread or right here down below:

I counted it, but had to look up on what team you were and got distracted, so I forgot to write it down on my notes. Added you to the post. :)
