Biography

Cupid Fact File #828 highlighted the curious fact that the Crew's name followed the same pattern as the many Strangely-Colored Secret Societies created by former members of the First Horde. (PROSE: The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies)

The Creator invented a biochemical Love Potion (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids) in an effort to bring peace to the world, and to worlds beyond. She began building mechanical minions to carry out the world of romanticising all of reality on her behalf, the Clockwork Cherubs. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving) In accordance with the love theme, she fashioned in the broad likeness of the winged Greek deity Cupid. She soon discovered that Cupid's wingspan would not allow a non-supernatural being to fly, forcing her to develop anti-gravity circuits for her “Cupids” to replicate this feat. (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids) The Mark I Cupids were originally housed in the Creator's garage on the Prime Earth, but after it grew too cramped, she created a pocket dimension, the Cupid Homeworld, in which her creations could relocate. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving, The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids)

Eventually, the Creator withdraw from public life in the Homeworld, moving to the Forbidden Manor. She left them schematics for dematerialisation circuits and conceptual engines, allowing them to develop the Fog Ships, as well as the formula for the Love Potion, which were soon lost by the Prefect of the Department of Chemistry, (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids) Mandragora-257. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids) The Crew became directly affiliated with Aphrodite herself, who provided them with a substitute Potion with identical effects.
