Groups & Teams

Groups & Teams

WMD - The Weapons of Mass Destruction formed during the Harvester Crisis, led by the Dark Avenger and SuperDude, this team saves the world on a weekly basis.

IED - The Improvised Explosive Device are a group of the less powerful superhumans of the Super U’niverse, they are a sub-team of the WMD and as such handle lesser problems when they arise and the WMD are too busy to handle it on their own.

The Family - Led by Richard Reader aka Spectacular, this family of superhumans gained their abilities from an extra-dimensional accident that led to a war with a parallel earth (THE EVENT).  Other members of the Family are Visible Lass, Richard’s wife Sadie, Sear and Clobber, Joanna and Robert Garvey, husband and wife.  They tend to deal with some of the more serious cosmic threats like The Entity and his Scions.

Freedom’s Legacy - They were a group of six people led by The Commander during World War II, who answered to the Allies.  The Commander and Sentinel have since made their way into the future to become members of the WMD and assisted during the Harvester Crisis.

The Raven Institute for the Academically Gifted - A school for the augmented and genetic hybrids of the world, opened by Alejandro Raven on the outskirts of New York City on the Ravenswood estates, and future site of Super University.  It was closed down sometime after THE EVENT.  One of the students would become the first Protégé of the Dark Avenger and later become Zero a threat to NeoGothic City and the hero known as Black Sapphire.

Force 11 - After Arien Blackwood escaped custody by the government he went to the Show of Force bank and trust and committed suicide, his vaporous remains would imbue twelve people in the bank with amazing abilities and reawaken a dormant Star Force called the Pariah and in turn wake the Messiah deep in space.

Adventurers of the Undiscovered - A small group of family members who explore the world in search of answers to life’s mysteries.  Jack Rabbit of the WMD is a member of this group and through them discovered Amazona and her people before they were wiped out and found a god to worship and take the mantle of.

The Column – The governments’ government, super spies who watch everything and protect everyone.  Former directors include Jackson Black and Gregory Haines, the current director if Nicolette Q. Chalm, daughter of Jackson Black.

The B Listers - A sub-group of elite soldiers within the Column command structure.  They are led by Gregory Haines, the ex-director who had replaced Jackson Black after the death during THE EVENT.  They handle missions that threaten the American way of life.


Horizon - A group similar to the WMD from Earth II, made up of anti-heroes who were easily corrupted by the overwhelming influence of Pandemonium when arriving of the Super U’niverse Earth.  The team fell during THE EVENT, only one member managed to remain after the collapse of the Kaleidoscope Cascade.

Aliens

Aliens

The Harvesters - An alien species that lives in between the universes.  They hunt down and feed upon beings that possess the Star Force.  They are on the verge of extinction with the last of the species now trapped in the Super U’niverse.  They found the universe after Arien Blackwood breached the Cascade and landed on Earth, his minor Star Force signature was enough for “The Erroneous Bleed” to track him down.  At the time they were being guided by Genesis, another being of immense power trapped in the space between universes.

They were defeated and imprisoned on Earth in The Column and the SPIRaL ARC facilities, after their leader Genesis fled the battle and abandoned his troops.

The Entity - Is a cosmic being that feeds upon the chaos that is sowed by his Scions.  One of the last beings of his kind in the universe after his people fought in each other to the death in the War of Sorrows.  His true name is unpronounceable in the human tongue; Spectacular once built a universal translator that took a few days to finally spit out ‘Ted’.

The Scions - Are beings that were once normal until the God Seed filled them and turned them into the Entity’s ‘sons’.  They go about the universe and cause destruction and the energy of the chaos caused by them feeds their master.

The Catalogers - Are a species that are virtually unknown to the whole of the universe.  They chronicle everything that happens, and are able to pass between the fabric between the worlds.  Everything they collect is stored in The Knowledge, a massive hunk of extra terrestrial quartz, which is found in the center of the complex in which they live.  The Chief Archivist oversees all of the activities of the Catalogers and is able to navigate The Knowledge with ease, plucking information from it and allowing others to relive the data.

The Star Force Centurions - Fueled by an alien Star Force that had been bound into the Harvester Ship “The Erroneous Bleed”.  Freed during the formation of the WMD and IED when the Harvesters assaulted the Star Force imbued beings of Earth, it picked another Star Force that had been bound in the rock of Central Park in New York City and chose it to spread the word and find hosts to divide its power and police the universe.


The Antianeira - More commonly called Amazons, The Antianeira are high borne noble-women warriors that were exiled to Earth millennia ago.  The Amazon myths came from them.  Originally led by Penthesilea until her death, currently those who remain after the Purge are led by Daphne the daughter of Penthesilea who is better known to the world as Amazona.
