 * Cecil Hawthorne/Inferno - the Commander of Australia who is an over the top showman, being obsessed with putting on a good show. He is a NuHuman, being capable of controlling fire to a terrifying level, being as equally sadistic with his methods.
 * The Commandant - the Commander of Africa who is a powerful dark magician, having gained his powers by defeating the brother of the Ancient One, Kaluu, in a mystical fight. Not much is known about him aside from his affable nature and his immense magical skills.

He has also developed an obsession with discovering the "secrets of the universe", such as what the meaning of life is or even how the universe was created. Due to his madness, he has developed a childish temper and often converses with delusions of ghosts from his past.

 * Gabrael Dumah - one of Ronan's half-breed children he has fathered over the years and the oldest of them. He is half-Shi'ar and is a genetic throwback among them, having a pair of wings coming out of his back.

 * Nimrod - a creation of Hans Zemo's, Nimrod is a clone of the Hulk villain Abomination, having been pumped full of Gamma Radiation ever since he was in a test tube.

A new outlook on life, he was outfitted with a new Crimson Dynamo armor and swore revenge on the superhero community.
