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.

Saturday Super Stories - The Event 3

"I have pulled from The Knowledge tales from the Event that ravaged two universes.  I start at the beginning and will tell the important parts, and while there are many stories to be told, this will be quick."  Chief Archivist of the Catalogers.

“Many things have been culled from this universe, many lives lost, some heroically, some fruitlessly, but everything and everyone met has had an impact.  Some people and places are the same regardless of the world on which it lay, it spreads like an infection.”

The Event 3 – Horizon

“Thank you all for coming, I know that we do not have the best of relationships but the Department of Superhuman Affairs needs your help.”  She stood in front of a massive monitor that covered an entire wall; a map of the Earth filled the screen, several small red dots blinked.  Several technicians were watching these points vigilantly.

“My name Agent Powerhouse and this is my wife Agent Frost, we are in charge of the DSA in North America.”  He clicked a device at another screen and photos of the HelixONE breach started as a slideshow moved the show on without anyone clicking anything more.  “Two weeks ago we suffered a dimensional breach that has ruptured our space/time continuum.  The breach tore into a villain’s base that we had been tracking, his name is Alpha and he has been targeting a hero named Black Sapphire.”

“We have reason to believe that Alpha has been repeatedly breaching into this parallel Earth, for what purpose we do not know, but we feel as if he thinks we are at war.”  Agent Frost continued.

“What do you need from us?”  Aeon hovered slightly above the ground, his air of superiority filling the whole of the chamber they were in.

“We need the members of Horizon to traverse the void and enter this other world and try and stop whatever it is that Alpha is trying to accomplish before we end up in open conflict with another universe.  Each breach is fracturing the structure of reality itself and if this continues for much longer everything will be over.”  Frost waved over another member of the DSA he smiled at them all.  “This is Breach, he is one of our powered agents.  He has the ability to enter anything, breaching as it were including the veil between worlds.”

“Sometimes that is, I sort of teleport between places by bypassing the veil that lay between realms, I can also pick locks very well.”  Breach spoke quietly.  “I can use one of the fractures to gain access to this other place easily.  We have found an issue related to the whole process though, we can only take people who have a copy on the other world, anyone who doesn’t have an analog gets rejected.”

“How do you mean rejected?”  Soldier American asked.

“Pushed back away from the fracture, non-violently, so we sent a probe through and did a scan for identical energy signatures and cross matched them against our datatbase’s and called Horizon in.  We found matches on the other side for almost every person on your team and so we ask if you will help us stop a war by going into another universe for the sake of our universe and humanity?”  Powerhouse followed.

The members of Horizon talked amongst themselves for some time before responding.  Aeon spoke up and agreed to the task set before them.

“There is one last stipulation.  We have three prisoners from this universe and we want them return to the authorities there.”  Powerhouse asked Aeon directly.

Aeon nodded, “Let’s do this then.”  Breach nodded and the Horizon and agents of the DSA transported the group to the closest fracture.

John Phoenix, Immortal.  Born a completely normal person until his genes kicked in and he became a flame specialist, then one fateful day he was murdered during a mission and passed on from this mortal coil that is until he woke up again.

Aeon is also known as the sun eater.  He was exiled into a sun by his people where he escaped and absorbed the sun from within which in turn led to the death of his people.  His stance on justice is skewed which is do it part in

Soldier American was once a normal man until D-Day when the massacre at the beaches of Normandy led to the slaughter of thousands of allied troops, he absorbed the souls of all the men slain and gain their insights, strengths and stamina.  He led the charge and won the day almost single handedly in this reality.

Isabella, the Warchild is a warrior from worlds unknown, a perfect fighter who knows no losses in combat.  Unlucky in love and all the more bitter for it, works with the men on Horizon with great trepidation.

Odin is not the actual deity but an immortal who has taken the title for his own purposes.  Odin has lived for millennia and has mastered hundreds of styles of combat, but his personal weapon is a glaive called Ban’deth the Unrighteous Blade.

Android X is cobbled together from parts pulled from various robot threats that world has faced through the years.  Built by Jarod Blacknell and Mr. Amazing to assist with communications and tactical support.

Blrrr is capable of pulling speed from the Earth’s rotation, and cybernetically enhanced, his brain has been augmented to process information at a much faster rate while he is in speed mode.
