Here is a question for you....
One of my ideas is a Headless Mecha-Horseman. A large robot w/o a head. It transformers into horse and rider. The rider's head is cloaked to make the rider appear headless.
Another idea was to create an Iron Man-esque character with a motif similar to Daedelus, called Spartan. The idea is that Daedelus wants to retire and so created another suit of armor and trains another to use his technology.
Which one sounds like they would make a good addition??

I was leaning towards the Horseman and I have designed him. I was just concerned that the "Headless" approach might give our group too much of a dark feeling....
I'll finish the design...

You as we include a guy who can't be found with a being of evil on his face, a woman found of dark places and another woman who could nuke the city if she felt like it.

Haya is like any other 18 year old high school graduate. She is never far from her iPod or cell phone, and she has a cheerful, upbeat attitude, despite the fact that her music tastes run quite dark. System of a Down, Disturbed, Slipknot, and various others stuff her iPod. She has a slim athletic build from her years of cheerleading, gymnastics, and martial arts training. Her long silky black hair is often pulled back, and her dark eyes are playful. Once approached with danger, however, she is quick to react, and often with painful circumstances.
One day when she was young, her anger led her to find out her natural born talent: she can duplicate herself. At first, the young girl was terrified, as were her chaste parents, so they quickly trained her to retain her anger and hone her duplicating skills to emerge only when absolutely needed. The secret was never revealed, even to other family members.
After immigrating from Japan, Haya's family found their wealth by investing in the oil industry. Wanting to keep close to their source of income, they moved to San Antonio, Texas, where Haya graduated from Alamo Heights High School.She captained the cheerleading squad there, her martial arts training by her father bringing unique moves and multiple trophies to the school. She was very popular, though she kept her wits about her and retained good grades, else be admonished by her strict father.
Haya never did get heavy into the dating scene as cheerleading was her life. She begged and pleaded for her parents to allow her to move to Freedom City, where the local college football team is holding auditions for the captain of their squad.
On her own, young, and excited about her new life awaiting her, Haya arrives in Freedom City.
edit: changed it to the longer version

Here is the history/write-up I did for the Horseman.
BACKGROUND:
Jason Crane is actually the direct descendant of Ichibod Crane that is depicted in the Washington Irving story. There is much speculation as to factual basis of the story, but the facts are that there really was a Hessian soldier and you can still visit the grave to this date. Jason grew up in New York City and still lives there to this date. His life was normal as most. He owned a small technology R&D firm which allowed him to live comfortably, even in NYC. Then one morning his normal life was turned upside down. The morning was September 11th, 2001. The country reeled from the terror attack and so did Jason. Sitting in his apartment watching the television, Jason realized that he had a burning desire to do something to help. He donned an advanced prototype exo-suit and went to the site of the towers to help out. As he helped to dig through the rubble, he realized that he felt alive for the first time in a long time. He returned home and started to think. The exo-suit could be modified to be used in a more combat-oriented role. He had the available tools, thanks to his company, but now he needed a motif. Something that could be used for the psychological edge. The answer came in an email. Jason's cousin had just been sworn in as a police officer in the village of Sleepy Hollow, in upstate New York. She sent a picture to Jason as a sort of tongue-in-cheek joke about a Crane being back in Sleepy Hollow. It was at this time that Jason received his answer. He set to work and started to work on the tools that he would use. He purchased new equipment and components through his company and then diverted them to his own workshop. His idea was simple. He designed a battlesuit that incorporated a cloaking layer on the head that could render the head invisible. This gave the image of a headless warrior. Next he created a large cyber-steed which he nicknamed 'Ichibod'. This allowed him to be able to ride at high speeds through the streets without having to worry about the a real animal getting hurt. He took to the streets fighting against street-level criminals, and took the name, the Rider. One evening, Jason came up against a super-powered criminal. The fight was over quickly and Jason limped away to lick his wounds and his ego. Jason returned to the drawing board and soon Ichibod received an upgrade. Now the Cyber-steed was able to reconfigure itself and transform into a heavy Battle Suit that encompassed the rider. This power upgrade now allowed the Rider to become the HORSEMAN. In this new form, Jason could fight side-by-side with other super-powered heroes.
TACTICS:
Jason will usually ride into combat using his sword to stop the criminals. If the situation dictates a heavier response then the Rider and Ichibod reconfigure and unite to form the HORSEMAN. the HORSEMAN has the strength and weapons to fight on a higher level.
SUIT DESCRIPTION:
Jason started to gather parts and components from around the world. He “acquired” equipment from his own company and started to fabricate a combat system that would eventually become the Horseman. The system is comprised of two key pieces. UNIT #1 A.S.I.C.S. (Advanced Sensory Integration Combat System) The ASICS suit is an advanced system that can actually transfer data and sensory input directly to the brain via a synaptic relay. Once the suit is activated, the on-board sensors start scanning the surrounding environment. This allows the wearer to have an almost “super-natural” sense of his environment. It is also capable of studying an opponent and predicting the next movement that they could make. The suit’s outer layer is an advanced liquid polymer armor suspension that is capable of absorbing a considerable amount of damage. The enclosed exo-skeleton grants the wearer enhanced strength and with the onboard sensors, the wearer also benefits from an enhanced dexterity. As more of a gimmick, Jason added a holographic lattice to the outside of the helmet. This lattice effectively cloaks the wearer’s head. The overall image is that of a headless soldier in armor. Jason remembered the stories of how the Headless Horseman terrorized the people of Sleepy Hollow. Jason realized that the time had come for the Horseman to return. Jason armed himself with an advanced design, mono-blade sword that was capable of cutting through all but the toughest materials. Thus the Rider was born.
UNIT #2 “ICHABOD” (Mecha-steed) “Ichabod”, as Jason has dubbed him, is the second component of the Horseman. The mecha-steed unit is what it sounds like. A mechanical/robotic horse which the Rider uses. The steed is the size of a warhorse and is powerfully built. It has a long black mane and tail. Its body is a satin black color. The eyes glow a fierce red color. The animal’s systems allow it to run for an indefinite amount of time and at speeds able to match most sports cars. The Rider is held on by magna-claps in the saddle area allowing the Rider to use both his hands to fight. Commands are relayed to the horse, via the A.S.I.C.S. interface. Ichabod has a rudimentary A.I. system that gives him the semblance of a real horse, however Ichabod remains completely loyal to Jason and would willingly face destruction to help Jason out. The image of a headless rider galloping towards you waving a razor-sharp sword can be disheartening, but the true terror of the Horseman comes when the Rider declares, MECHAMERGE!!! Upon the activation of the M.C.C.S. (Modular Combat Configuration System) the Rider and the Mecha-Steed become one. The steed switches its configuration and transforms into a power-armor combat suit. When the Rider and the Mecha-Steed combine, they become the HORSEMAN. The steed transforms and enclosed the Rider. The Rider is housed inside the torso of the Horseman, while the Rider’s legs and arms are in the Horseman’s limbs. Holding true to the Headless Horseman motif, there is no head for the Horseman. The same sensor system that is incorporated into the A.S.I.C.S. unit is used to provide the Horseman with its sensors. The pilot’s head is located between the shoulders of the Horseman. If there is a crash of the sensor systems and its redundant backups, then the torso armor can be reconfigured to allow for the Rider’s head to become exposed. The Horseman configuration boasts several abilities that the Rider and Steed do not have access to. The Horseman has access to a Plasma Emitter that grants the Horseman ranged combat abilities. It also carries a larger version of the Horseman’s Sword which is not quite as sharp but can easily cause significant damage. The Horseman configuration has access to thruster engines which allow it to fly with a top speed of 250 mph. The armor of the Horseman is hardened and can take a significant amount of damage. The Horseman configuration can be used in confrontations with super-powered enemies where heavier armor and weapons are needed. Jason has plans for upgrading the systems of the unit.
