User blog:GazzaB9/Infinity Comics Encyclopedia

Encyclopedia for Infinity Comics, written by GazzaB9, MarvelDCandFantasyFanBoy12, and Jacky 50A. The entries within this page are styled after in-universe Global Defense Agency files.

Introduction
As mentioned earlier, this page is an encyclopedia for the many features of the collaborative project known as Infinity Comics, where heroes, villains, and other elements from many different comic book universes aside from Marvel and DC coexist. For the entries featured within the encyclopedia, we chose an interactive path to identifying these characters and features by having the comic universe's version of SHIELD, the Global Defense Agency (GDA) from Image Comics' Invincible, compile data on the many elements of the Infinity Comics universe. Due to the differences between Infinity Comics and the original Invincible setting, readers should know of these premises before jumping into the encyclopedia:


 * The Global Defense Agency of the Infinity Comics universe integrates the following similar organizations into their being, which are:
 * Earth Protection Force (IDW Comics)
 * Global Agency for Threat Excision (GATE) (Valiant Entertainment)
 * Kingsman (Icon Comics)
 * The Hero Association (One-Punch Man), U.A. High School and Hero Public Safety Commission (My Hero Academia), as well as Justice Chojin (Kinnikuman) are part of the same super-organization created by the Japanese government to regulate interactions between enhanced beings and regular people.
 * The parts for the entries of each individual characters are as follows:
 * Real Name
 * Occupation
 * Nationality
 * Age
 * Height
 * Weight
 * Eyes
 * Hair
 * Sex
 * Species
 * Affiliation
 * Hero Association Ranking
 * Hero Association Ranking is only applicable for Japanese heroes who are considered registered to the Hero Association. The rankings for the heroes can be seen here.
 * GDA Threat Ranking
 * The GDA Threat Ranking classifies the potential threat level of each entity, organization, or other element based on the dangers they could unleash upon the world should they be hostile. This ranking applies to every individual, group, or miscellaneous objects, with the ranks themselves being:
 * None (lowest)
 * Minor
 * Semi-Major
 * Major
 * Urgent
 * Catastrophic (highest)
 * Powers and Abilities
 * An entry is concluded by a closing statement concerning the subject matter by certain operatives of the Global Defense Agency or experts from entities allied to the organization, who provide their opinion on the topics at hand.

Adam-One



 * Real Name: Unknown
 * Occupation: Terrorist, would-be conqueror
 * Nationality: Unknown, somewhere in Africa
 * Age: 2,000,000+
 * Height: 6'5"
 * Weight: 210 lbs
 * Eyes: Brown
 * Hair: Black
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Augmented Human
 * Affiliation: African Fraternity
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Adam-One is completely immortal. He can't age and he will regenerate anything. This includes life-threatening injuries, lost limbs, and even regrowing a decapitated or destroyed head, though it appears that that the amount of time he takes to regenerate depends on the severity of the injury in question. He is also immune to life-threatening diseases and has bragged that he would be able to regenerate his entire body from a single blood cell. Nothing short of destroying his entire body all at once can kill him.

Due to his life beginning before written words, Adam-One's full story is unknown. All information related to his past come from Adam-One himself, so it cannot be verified, but he claims that he was a member of the first tribe of humans ever founded in the world. Being cavemen, they were constantly searching for food and drink, which eventually led him to a sparkling lake that he drank from. The lake was seemingly magical and transformed Adam into the first person alive to develop sapience as well as granting him his immortality. He claims that this lake was the Fountain of Youth, though this statement is questionable at best. Adam-One claims that he saw the rise and fall of every civilization in human history and that he himself was the leader of some of these civilizations, as well as claiming that he was involved in many of the major disasters in human history. His incredibly old age has clearly driven him to insanity, believing that the reason he was granted immortality was so he could one day conquer the world. His existence became public knowledge during the 1930s, where he clashed with another undying being, The Immortal, deeming him unworthy of the supposed gift of eternal life. Since becoming a public figure, Adam-One has gone on to clash with the Union of Justice, Guardians of the Globe, GDA, and the BPRD for various reasons, earning him a spot as one of the world's most wanted men. He is also a founding member and one of the heads of The Fraternity, leading the African branch of it.

"One of the heads of the Fraternity, and one of the most headache-inducing figures of villainy in recent history. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be Idi Amin, after all, seeing as how he claimed to be involved in humanity's many disasters. Adam-One's operations are -- technically speaking -- confined to Africa, due to the Fraternity's pact. Technically speaking, because practically speaking, he's been a pain in everyone's backsides from Greenland to Antarctica. Every year, there seems to be a new plot brewing inside Adam-One's head that involves him ruining the lives of people across the globe for the sake of his ego. Don't the other Fraternity members have a bloody problem with him slaughtering their future citizens? I'll give him this though: his persistence means that the capes always have a united front against someone, which prevents heroic supers to frequently launch operations against him, which means that they'll spend more time fighting him than wasting their powers bothering innocents. This, however, does not make him a necessary evil. In fact, he's an evil we have to wipe out from this world because of the power of his immortality. Others have successfully killed him before, but he eventually returns one way or another. Neither magic nor science can effectively eliminate him, so an alternative we are considering now is to capture, lobotomize, and isolate him from the rest of the world. We could also forcibly extract what knowledge he has so we could glean some... necessary information concerning the world, but nothing else afterwards."

Anung Un Rama/Hellboy



 * Real Name: Anung Un Rama
 * Occupation: BPRD field agent
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 76
 * Height: 6'5"
 * Weight: 441 lbs
 * Eyes: Yellow
 * Hair: Black
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Cambion (human-demon hybrid)
 * Affiliation: Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Catastrophic
 * Powers and Abilities: Hellboy possesses superhuman physical characteristics, such as strength, stamina, endurance, senses, and regeneration. Additionally, he wields a number of potent weapons in the battle against the supernatural, including the legendary Right Hand of Doom.

The child of a demon lord and a witch, Hellboy was summoned into the world during the last days of World War II by a cadre of mystics employed by the Third Reich to grant them victory over the Allies. Despite his demonic nature, he was adopted by Professor Bruttenholm of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, who gave him his iconic name. Joining the organization as one of its field agents at a young age, Hellboy has since become the face of Earth's shield against the supernatural, having fought countless battles against the unknowable horrors that threaten the very core of civilization. Ask anyone who's the greatest paranormal investigator there is, and Hellboy will be the name most likely to be uttered as an answer.

Owing to his heritage, Hellboy possesses enhanced physical attributes and an immunity to fire for obvious reasons. His accelerated healing factor grants him extended longevity, though certain BPRD experts have claimed that his lifespan is attributed to the prophecy that he would bring an end to the world through a chain of events, beginning from his very presence on Earth. He is also an adept combatant and occultist, having knowledge over many things supernatural throughout his years of study and experience. One of the more distinct features Hellboy possesses is his Right Hand of Doom, which is a stony arm incapable of feeling pain and an adequate source of blunt force trauma, prophesied to be the key to the world's end.

"Hellboy. When I first heard of him, I thought that he was some sort of dark and brooding figure hell-bent on destroying everything that stood in his way. When I first met him, I found out that he was nothing like what I thought he was... at least not yet, by his own words. I've never believed in God and the other things that entail, and the same goes for Hellboy. I don't believe that he's going to be the world-ending threat the books and brains tell him to be. But knowing the world we live in today, I guess it won't hurt to keep an open mind. Hellboy may be one of our greatest allies as of now, but there's no telling when he'd regrow his horns and make a mess out of the world. I just hope that he doesn't turn out to be the end of everything we know and love. You know, funny story I have. Several years ago, we recruited someone named Damien Darkblood, who now works for us full-time. When I first saw him, I was immediately reminded of Hellboy. Guy looked just like him! And you know what? He claimed to have nothing to do with him! At least, that's as far as the divulged information goes. I never saw Hellboy after our first meeting, and Damien wasn't willing to reveal anything about what he had to do with Mr. Big Red Hand. I'm guessing they're related by blood, but I don't know much about these type of stuff."

Billy Butcher
Billy was raised in an abusive household, watching his father abuse his mother and his younger brother. This experience aroused feelings of pure hatred towards his father. When he turned eighteen, he joined the British military, where his hatred began to grow. This all changed when he met Becky Saunders as she began to understand Butcher as a troubled soul that needs mending. Unfortunately, on their one-year anniversary, Homelander raped and murdered Becky, sparking a new rage inside of Butcher. Around the same time, Greg Mallory invited Billy to join the Boys, an FBI-founded organization made to investigate the growing population of superheroes and make sure they don't fall out of line. While the original Boys broke up eventually, Butcher, with renewed vigor thanks to recent news of superhero misconducts, has recently reformed the Boys with the same purpose in hopes of preventing the heroes from becoming far worse than the villains they fight. "While I believe Billy isn't a threat to me personally, I am unsettled by his great devotion towards his job. He exposes the dirt of superheroes and messes them up big time once he gets his hands on them, and that's not counting what'll happen when he's with the Boys. I understand the necessity in this, yes, but the day he loses his mind is the day he has to take responsibility over all his actions. Cecil told me that Billy and the Boys are allies, but I'm not sure if he said the same thing to them. Not that it matters, I suppose. War Woman told me that she saw Butcher stalking her weeks before Nolan killed her, so I think every superhero is fair game to him, Vought or otherwise. Quite funny how aside from us, Guardians, and the Vought folks, no one else really knows about him."

Cecil Stedman

 * Real Name: Cecil Stedman
 * Occupation: Director of the Global Defense Agency
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 65
 * Height: 6'2"
 * Weight: 165 lbs
 * Eyes: Grey
 * Hair: Grey
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human
 * Affiliation: Global Defense Agency
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Cecil Stedman has no superpowers, but he possesses impressive leadership skills and combat expertise. As the leader of the GDA, Cecil has access to numerous advanced technologies, including a sophisticated teleportation device that can take him anywhere across the planet.

Cecil Stedman has had a long and prestigious career working for the United States, having been an FBI agent for twenty years, a CIA agent for fifteen years, and the Director of the Global Defense Agency for practically the rest of his life. From personally shooting down domestic terrorists to leading operations against the superhuman threats that have made themselves notable in recent years, Cecil Stedman has led a long and interesting life. Though it's not obvious to anyone, Cecil is actually horribly deformed, having been exposed to skin eating gas in his early years. He covers up all of it with artificial skin except for the only part that survived the ordeal, the scar around his mouth. He kept this scar as a constant reminder that he failed to stop the terrorists that released the gas and his failure would go on to mold him as a person and shape his ideology. Years later, these same terrorists appeared working directly for the GDA and Cecil responded by killing them, earning himself prison time. Some years after this, he was approached by the then director of the GDA, offering him his position and informing Cecil that he could either be a good guy or the guy who saved the world, but he couldn't be both.

After becoming director, all files related to Cecil were deleted from all databases across the world, making it so only people working directly for the GDA knew of his existence. Not even the President knows the name of the GDA's director. Following in his predecessor's footsteps, Cecil began recruiting anybody who he deemed as useful to his cause, whether hero, villain, or something in-between. Sometimes this worked, such as with D.A. Sinclair, who went on to become one of the GDA's greatest assets, and sometimes it didn't, such as with Omni-Man, who was once Cecil's go-to guy for missions but has since gone both rogue and AWOL. These many ups and downs are likely to make Cecil a polarizing figure when his name is finally written down in the history books.

"I don't technically work for the GDA, but they asked me to give my two cents. Honestly, I'm mixed on him. He's done really incredible stuff, that's for sure. If it wasn't for him, my mom and I would probably be homeless after dad left, but he came and gave us the money we needed to stay afloat. Plus, he helps fund the Guardians of the Globe. But, man, hiring somebody like D.A. Sinclair? I get his argument, "every little help" and all, but it just feels wrong to think of "D.A. Sinclair" and "government agent" in the same sentence. I really hope he doesn't do anything rasher than that, because Cecil seems like a really good guy, and I don't want to see him mess it all up."

- Invincible, Cecil's Superhero Associate

"Huh. Who on Earth wrote an entry about me? I wasn't supposed to pop in any database. Not gonna lie, though, this is probably the most unbiased account about me I've ever read. If it was written by anybody else, it'd probably either be full of brown nosing or making everything out to be worse than it really worse. Prime suspect's currently Donald. He's the only person I can think of that would present me warts and all."

Ching-Sang/The Emperor



 * Real Name: Ching-Sang (technically)
 * Occupation: Crime Lord
 * Nationality: Chinese
 * Age: 43 (physically) 8,000 (mentally)
 * Height: 6'5"
 * Weight: 215 lbs
 * Eyes: Green
 * Hair: Black
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human
 * Affiliation: Asian Fraternity
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Major
 * Powers and Abilities: The Emperor is a master martial artists, swordsman, archer, and a sorcerer who via magic has managed to reincarnate himself several times, retaining his memories from every one of his lives. His reincarnated bodies seem to live the first few years of their lives as regular children but then develop his past memories around the time the human brain begins being able to comprehend language. There seems to be no consistency in the lives of the people he incarnates into other than that they are all East Asian, though whether this is a choice or part of his spell is unknown.

Thousands of years ago in ancient China, the peasants lived in fear of Ching-Sang, the self-proclaimed emperor of all of Asia. Nobody knew where he came from, but Ching-Sang slaughtered his enemies, took children to raise as soldiers, and kidnapped women to be his brides, whether they were already married or not. As unfortunate as it is, no one ever managed to defeat him in combat, which meant his reign of terror continued right up until he realized his body was beginning to give out on him in his old age. Like Gilgamesh and Sun Wukong, Ching-Sang was stricken with a sudden and uncontrollable fear of death, scouring the Earth for a way to gain eternal life. Though he technically never learned this secret, he did manage to come across a magical incantation that allowed him to reincarnate himself as many times as he wished, meaning that while his body wasn't immortal his soul was. This meant that the supposed Emperor of Asia's reign of terror could continue forever. Throughout the years, he has reincarnated into many bodies and been essentially every kind of tormentor in the book.

He claims that he has been a general in the armies of Genghis Khan, that he was Timur, that he was responsible for turning the Triads into a criminal organization, and that many of the antagonists in East Asian legends were based on him. Though he was technically not hiding his reincarnation and even actively bragged about it, the first time that he proved this and the information was catalogued was during a time he had reincarnated as a Japanese major working for Imperialist Japan, confronting the hero The Lobster during the early stages of World War II. The Lobster shot him to death, with Ching-Sang claiming he'd come back to finish their business. Though The Lobster died before he could, in his next life Ching-Sang targeted The Lobster's ghost, revealing his reincarnation abilities to the public. In his current identity, he is a man of Chinese descent (specifically, Inner Mongolian) and has taken advantage of the respect his reincarnation has granted him, becoming one of the biggest and most infamous crime lords in all of Asia, as well as one of the heads of The Fraternity.

"They originally wanted Cecil to talk, but he said I might have more to say. The Emperor's probably the most unique case of immortality I've ever seen, and I've seen a couple. I really want to know what kind of magic he used to be able to reincarnate, mainly so we can figure out if we can reverse it but also because I'm just curious who made it in the first place. It's rare for me to come across something new these days, but The Emperor and his whole business is New with a capital N. Here's hoping we find out how to deal with him sooner rather than later since, and I'm not a "doom and gloom" kind of guy, but if he keeps coming back generation after generation then there's a high chance he'll eventually catch the world in a dip when it comes to heroes and take advantage of it."

Damien Darkblood/Demon Detective



 * Real Name: Damien Darkblood
 * Occupation: Agent of the Global Defense Agency, investigator
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 38
 * Height: 6'5"
 * Weight: 440 lbs
 * Eyes: Yellow
 * Hair: Grey
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Demon
 * Affiliation: Global Defense Agency
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Semi-Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Damien Darkblood is capable of teleportation and psychometry, and possesses heightened physical attributes, as well as a resistance towards fire.

Damien Darkblood is a demon of unknown origin who claims to have escaped his infernal home to stay on Earth for reasons personal to himself. Working for the Global Defense Agency, Damien Darkblood investigates both mundane and supernatural cases to achieve justice for the victims of the cases, earning himself even more time to live on the planet. Should he repeatedly fail to solve the cases he has taken, he will be forcibly returned to Hell. Thus far, he has been very helpful towards both the GDA and society as a whole, as his investigations have brought justice to surprisingly many people and exposed evils uncountable. Wherever he goes, justice is soon to follow, however messy it might be.

Biologically, Damien Darkblood is immortal, and his physiology grants him significant resistance towards sources of fire. He has superhuman physicality, as well as the power to teleport, which is one of his most valuable assets. Unless the location is magically warded against teleportation, Damien can transport himself through great distances to anywhere he wants on Earth. He does not need to know exactly of the whereabouts of his destination, as his power apparently takes him to wherever he is needed. One of the clearest indications that a place is to be haunted by Damien Darkblood's presence is the sudden temperature drop that ensues, the air itself turning cold enough that the breath of nearby individuals begins to fog. He is also capable of psychometry, which allows him to gain more clarity over the evidence and understand further the situation at hand. "Damien Darkblood, demon detective. Quite a catchy name, huh? Truth be told, even though I dislike him for his attitude and old-fashioned views, I appreciate that he's working for us to catch crooks none of us could even fathom to be the perpetrators of certain crimes. Inside and outside the agency, he's been a lot of help towards many people. Though, I reckon that's more because he has a giant stake in these situations, as well. He's good at what he does, but awful at everything aside from investigation. At least he doesn't ask to be paid and doesn't complain when he's asked to do something. No. Don't ask him about what he's got to do with Hellboy. I've said it, and I'll say it again: I don't understand this stuff about demons and the like. Damien's not keen on saying anything about it, and last I met Hellboy was like 16 or 23 years ago. I'm sure they're biologically related, though. Clones or blood brothers? Who knows? I'm just glad we can have someone with the same skills as Hellboy on our side."

Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass



 * Real Name: David "Dave" Lizewski
 * Occupation: Student at Millard Fillmore High School, vigilante
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 16
 * Height: 5'10"
 * Weight: 157 lbs
 * Eyes: Blue
 * Hair: Blond
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human
 * Affiliation: Justice Forever (co-leader), partner of Big Daddy & Hit-Girl
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Minor
 * Powers and Abilities: Kick-Ass is a baseline human with no augmented abilities. Initially having little to no experience, he has since received training from fellow vigilante Big Daddy and has slowly been trying to perfect his skills. He is currently being trained in both judo and boxing, as well as having a mastery over the baton. It is believed he has an infinite potential for growth and learning, though most of this potential is currently wasted on memorizing comic book trivia. Due to a car accident as a child that required surgery, he also has a metal plated skull which makes him particularly hard to concuss or knock unconscious via blows to the head.

Dave Lizewski was born in Manhattan, New York, to Alice and James Lizewski. Though ethnically Jewish, the family did not practice the religion, his father having fallen out of it many years prior. Dave befriended two children around his age in kindergarten named Todd Haynes and Marty Eisenberg, both of whom would go on to become vigilantes, unknowingly inspired by Dave's eventual alter-ego. Dave's mother also died shortly after meeting them of a sudden brain aneurysm, which Dave witnessed firsthand, the untreated trauma from the experience possibly going on to shape Dave's distorted worldview and fragile psyche. In his teenage years, Dave was initially what people have dubbed "a troll", picking fights with others online over their opinions about pop culture, which caused him to become a social outcast among his peers. Despite this, Dave looked up to the many real world superheroes around him, such as the Union of Justice or the more modern Invincible, and longed to be like them. After an argument with his friends about how well-suited he was to be a hero, Dave swore to prove them wrong, which led to him creating the superhero identity that the internet would dub "Kick-Ass".

"This is a bit of a strange start, but the kid reminds me a lot of myself. I started young, around his age, actually, but the difference is that I didn't just hop in the game like I owned the joint. Don't get me wrong, he's got a lot of potential. No matter how many times he's knocked down, he keeps getting up, and that's admirable. But he's a bit... Well, to be kind, he's off his rocker. He's channeling a sense of justice and pride in himself in a career that'll end in him being tortured, beaten, or worse. I won't lie though, if he channeled that same energy into becoming a Kingsman, or at the very least a cop, he'd probably be one of the best there ever was..."

- Eggsy Unwin, Kingsman of the Global Defense Agency

Eggsy Unwin



 * Real Name: Gary "Eggsy" Unwin
 * Occupation: GDA Kingsman
 * Nationality: Scottish
 * Age: 20
 * Height: 5'9
 * Weight: 111 lbs
 * Eyes: Hazel
 * Hair: Dirty blond
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human
 * Affiliation: Global Defense Agency
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Catastrophic Semi-Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Trained in all forms of spy work, including, but not limited to, the ability to drive any vehicle, wield any ranged weapon, swordsmanship, computer hacking, and battle tactics. In possession of a Kingsman Card able to unlock any door and override any police, military, or even FBI authority. Also an earned photographic memory and trained in how to be the best lover possible. No, really.

I'm Gary Unwin, codename Eggsy. My mum and dad are Lee Unwin and Michelle London. Both my uncle Jack and my dad were Kingsman in the Global Defense Agency and my dad met my mum when both he and my uncle were on a mission in Glasgow. They hit it off and shagged but, unfortunately, my dad was a "lady's man" and couldn't be tied down, so he left even after finding out she was pregnant. Cause of that, I grew up in the less than flattering streets of Glasgow, only ever talking to my dad through Christmas cards that weren't even written by him but instead my uncle. Then one day, my dad died in the line of action, God rest his soul, and my uncle Jack came to town for the funeral, where he found out that I was constantly getting into trouble. I was stealing money, crashing cars, punching dickheads in the face, the usual ned shite. But for some reason, Jack saw potential in me. He saw the same rowdy kid that he used to be and he wanted to harness that energy into something. He revealed the whole story to me about how he was a special agent for the GDA (a "Kingsman" as they're called) and how he saved the world on a weekly basis. He wanted me to be one too and, obviously, I accepted. But not cause of the saving world shtick, no, my mum, half-brother Ryan, and I were living under the roof of a bastard step-father that beat us on the reg. I'm a Kingsman for their sake. But helping the rest of them feels good too, I won't lie.

"Eggsy began his training at 17, the youngest trainee that the GDA has ever accepted. While he had a lot of issues to begin with, notably being self-conscious about his accent and lack of charisma, he has since become one of the top agents in the entire organization, saving the world from countless threats. If he keeps this up, I may even be out of the job very soon, but if Eggsy is the one who eventually replaces me when the time comes I don't think that I'll complain. Now if only he knew when to be professional. The entry above was originally written entirely in Glaswegian dialect, it was impossible to read for anyone outside of Glasgow. But I suppose you can take the boy out of the city but you'll never take the city out of the boy. C'est la vie."

Funny Valentine



 * Name: Funny Valentine
 * Occupation: President of the United States
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 48
 * Height: 6'
 * Weight: 190 lbs
 * Eyes: Blue
 * Hair: Blond
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human
 * Affiliation: United States of America
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Funny Valentine is a baseline human possessing no discernible superpowers of his own* but has access to the United States' many resources, such as military-grade weapons and even contracted superhumans.
 * (*) See Director Cecil's notes.

A true patriot, Funny Valentine was born on September 20, 1972, to a family of functionaries of the United States government. During his youth, Funny was raised by his extended family, who later released him into the custody of his stepfather and mother, the former of whom was a close friend to Funny's father, who died fighting in the Vietnam War. Growing up, Funny witnessed numerous turmoil and crises exploding throughout the world, which also had major ramifications to the US. Wishing to counter the effects of these events, Funny decided to accumulate more power so he may improve the nation's condition while also trying his best to undo the government's misdeeds towards other nations. Funny managed to make a name for himself as a local figure of renown in his home state of Arizona, succeeding in rallying supporters to his cause at a young age. His first big move was to become the governor of Arizona: a task which he unfortunately failed due to the manipulations of his opponents and the growing apathy people began to have to his increasingly vague agendas.

Nevertheless, Funny kept fighting to attain a major position of power in the government for years. However, after surviving a fatal injury in his participation of the cataclysmic Gulf War, he vanished from the political scene and went missing for over two decades. Upon his return he claimed to have gone through a journey of self-discovery to understand further what he should be fighting for, giving fuel to his new presidential campaign. Wishing to bring the nation to even greater heights than ever before, where its citizens prosper regardless of their differences and live securely, defended by the nation against persecution of many sorts and threats from both the human and the superhuman. Valentine wants to ensure that everyone works well and diligently without needlessly intervening with one another, as well as to provide assistance where it is needed in the US without discriminating. Eventually, in a dark horse victory, Funny won the elections and became the 45th President of the United States, who until now has been much-loved by his citizens.

"Let's make this very clear: this man is not who you think he is. He recovered from a near-fatal head wound, went off the radar for twenty-six years, and returned right on time for the presidential elections, which he won practically out of nowhere. If that isn't suspicious, I don't know what else. While I appreciate his laxity towards the Global Defense Agency and how the competence of his management, Mr. Valentine is one of the wildest cards we've known for years. As far as we know, he's not affiliated with any major political parties or groups, he's not approving of supervillains, he doesn't take bribes, he doesn't keep a lot of bodyguards, he can play the mandolin with his feet, and apparently, his footsteps don't make sounds. Even if he's technically a good guy -- make no mistake, his records are clean -- he's very suspicious and the occurrences surrounding him are flashing red flags. Concerning his powers, I've noted in his entry that he has no discernible powers. If you ask me, no, I can't tell if he has any powers aside from walking silently. Our friends in the Speedwagon Foundation, however, have been kind enough to share us their own suspicion that Mr. Valentine is something they call a Stand user, which means that Mr. Valentine has some kind of manifestation that grants him powers none of us can identify right now. The foundation is undergoing their own investigation right now, so until further notice, we should just be careful of him. Because Mr. Valentine has the authority to access these files, I'm marking this file as top secret. Don't let him know what we know."

Gideon Graves



 * Real Name: Gideon Gordon Graves
 * Occupation: Music producer, club owner
 * Nationality: Unknown (English?)
 * Age: 31
 * Height: 6'1"
 * Weight: 190 lbs
 * Eyes: Brown
 * Hair: Black
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human
 * Affiliation: League of Evil Exes
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Semi-Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Via The Glow, a virus of his own creation, Gideon is able to corrupt the Subspace that exists within people's minds. He can use this to alter people's perception of reality, memories, and emotions. The Glow spreads like an actual virus, with it being transferred from person to person by someone who is already infected. With this in mind, it's likely that Gideon himself is infected by The Glow and was its patient zero but since he is able to control it, the negative effects of it do not affect him. Without Gideon's interference, someone infected by The Glow will be trapped in a spiral of their worst thoughts until they are sucked inside of their own head, disappearing from reality. The only way to cure yourself of the virus is to directly confront these emotions. He is also a master swordsman and wields a high-tech katana also of his design that can fire off energy blasts and is made of energy that makes it look like it's made of video game pixels.

Little information exists about Gideon. The few background details that have been found about him suggest he may have been an orphan who grew up in the UK. At some point, he moved to America and began making a name for himself as a music producer, working under the alias "G-Man". Some evidence exists to suggest Gideon uses his Glow virus to influence people to buy his music. Gideon rarely made public appearances, and thus there are very few clear pictures that exist of him before his fight with Scott Pilgrim. Gideon is responsible for the disappearances of five women, all of whom had dated and broken up with him. Obsessed with them, Gideon put them in cryosleep and planned on making them a harem. The only girl he failed to do this to was his most recent girlfriend, Ramona Flowers, who claims Gideon sees love and romance more as a game and experiment. She fled and Gideon proceeded to post a drunken rant online, which was replied to by all of Ramona's past partners. Realizing that all of them were superhuman in some way, Gideon concocted a game for them to play: Whoever kills Ramona's next boyfriend gets to keep her. This turned out to be Gideon's undoing, as he ended up battling with said boyfriend, Scott Pilgrim, and was horribly defeated by him. Due to a combination of bribes and his victims not being very well-off, nobody pressed charges against Gideon and he is still currently active, producing music like nothing happened.

"Christ, what an asshole."

Hellstar
The universe is old, yet secrets older than itself have moved throughout the depths of the void, from one endless expanse to another. For time immemorial, legends have been told throughout the galactic community about a ravenous living planet who inflicts death and destruction upon the heavens' many wonders with wild abandon. The lesser races of the universe would recite its tale as stories to intimidate their children into complying to their parents, or as a jest-infested reasoning as to why half of the universe is empty. All of these would come to an end when the planet itself comes to feast upon the lives of worlds, stars, and souls, destroying and devouring everything in a hellish banquet of endless torment. In the end, the legends soon coalesced into a horrifying reality, now dubbed the Hellstar in the thousand tongues of the universe.
 * Real Name: Inapplicable

 * Species: Unknown

 * Powers and Abilities: The full extent of the Hellstar's capabilities is unknown, but the creature is capable of physically feeding upon celestial objects and move at a horrifying speed that outmatches even the fastest of space vessels with ease.

The Coalition of Planets have acknowledged of the Hellstar's existence and has been attempting to predict its next course and find a way to stop it in hopes of saving the lives of the target worlds. However, the Hellstar's freakish intelligence has made it hard for the Coalition to keep track of its presence, seemingly only appearing when it wishes to. Most of the time, the Hellstar makes its presence known by confusing the star maps of civilized races by devouring celestial objects located in the outer rims of their solar system. By the time its course can be charted, mass hysteria engulfs the target worlds, making them vulnerable to the creature's attack. Even when retaliation is possible, the creature's lack of compliance towards the laws of physics makes the attempt ruthlessly useless. Ultimately, as long as it exists, the universe is surely doomed to the bloody fate of being devoured by the Hellstar.

"I've seen it. Nobody believes me when I tell them this story, but I've seen the Hellstar. My job at the Coalition is to test the defenses of planets. They send in a request, I show up, and they throw everything they've got at me to see how they'd handle a potential invasion. We got a request one day from the farthest corners of space, but there was no name attached. They sent me out, regardless, and when I got there I found out that this... THING had sent the message itself. It wasn't actually testing its defenses though, it just wanted to make me a personal victim. All of its eyes looked at me and it's tentacle looking tongue tried to grab me. I don't even remember how I got out of there alive because immediately after I went catatonic for three days. I hope to whatever deity is listening that I never have to see this thing again..."

Hugo Coghlan/Hugo Hercules



 * Name: Hugo Coghlan (allegedly legally changed from Cú Chulainn)
 * Occupation: Adventurer, bodyguard, mercenary
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: Indeterminable
 * Height: 7'
 * Weight: 320 lbs
 * Eyes: Black
 * Hair: White
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Demigod
 * Affiliation: Independent
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Catastrophic
 * Powers and Abilities: Hugo Hercules possesses immense superhuman physical characteristics, such as strength, stamina, speed, durability, and enhanced healing factor. Owing to his semi-divine nature, Hugo is immune to the attrition of aging, making him immortal unless slain in battle.

One of -- if not the first of -- the United States' many superheroes, Hugo Hercules claimed to have been the Irish demigod, Cú Chulainn, who came to America in the early 20th Century to further explore the world and its intricacies. Working as a mercenary, "Cú Chulainn" embarked on many adventures throughout the United States and beyond to both fulfill his curiosity and put to good work his talents for the betterment of others. Changing his name to the easily more pronounceable Hugo Coghlan, with Hugo Hercules as his nickname, he spent much of his days traveling, battling, protecting, helping, and rutting around the world. Despite his seemingly hedonistic nature, Hugo truly has the best interest of the people and lives up to a code of honor that has indirectly influenced the world of super heroism until this very day. Many would think that Hugo's heyday has passed with the appearance of newer superheroes, but for him, there is no such time. While not as active as he was back then, Hugo remains an adventurer and hero to many people, though rumors state that he is still working as a hitman-for-hire, which more often than not has quite the basis.

Whether if he's Cú Chulainn or not, Hugo Hercules' superhuman physical attributes are phenomenal and outstrip even the powers of similarly mythical prowess. It's no wonder that Hugo Hercules can snap a submarine in half just as easily as he can breathe, as well as crush diamonds with his bare hands the same way he folds paper. He does not suffer from the threat of mortality, though it is claimed that battle can kill him all the same through certain means. Even if one may have found a way to kill him, Hugo is immensely durable and resistant towards many kinds of trauma, such as physical and magical attacks. Not to mention how he is capable of regenerating from humanly fatal wounds like they're nothing. On a side note, despite his claims of being the mythological Cú Chulainn, he has yet to demonstrate the infamous warp-spasm ability, putting to doubt his status as such figure.

"While I would call nonsense on his claims of being Cú Chulainn and the first superhero in the United States, I don't doubt his great power and responsibility in using his abilities. You could say that before there was Solar, there was Hugo Hercules. Funny thing is, both of these people possess immense godlike powers, though none of them are truly gods. No, I don't believe that this man is Cú Chulainn. I may not know how the real man looks like, but Hugo is too... unorthodox to be him. I mean, was Cú Chulainn ever this strong? Where the hell is his spear, Gáe Bulg? Why hasn't he warp-spasmed yet? Maybe I'm just too skeptical about him, but he can't be the Hound of Ulster. Not in a million years. That being said, the real Cú Chulainn has demonstrated feats of strength people would call insane back in his age. Seeing Hugo having done all sorts of ridiculously impossible physical feats in the last two centuries wouldn't make it nonsensical that he could be Cú Chulainn. But then, there are other legendary strongmen, yes? Hercules, Samson. Whoever Hugo is, frankly, I'm glad he's on our side... nominally speaking, since unfortunately he's done quite some dirty work as well as a hitman extraordinaire. Believe me, before someone shot me in a theatre, someone already hired Mr. Hercules to wipe me off the face of the Earth. Trust me, Nolan couldn't even punch as hard as Hugo flicked."

James Arnold



 * Real Name: Dr. James Arnold
 * Occupation: Scientist, terrorist
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 26
 * Height: 5'11"
 * Weight: 170 lbs
 * Eyes: Blue
 * Hair: Brown
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human
 * Affiliation: None
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Major
 * Powers and Abilities: While a baseline human, James is in the top 10 of most intelligent men alive and the top 100 of the richest. He is shown to be able to come up with complex schemes and ploys, as well as being able to execute them in a manner of months, if not weeks.

Before his now infamous fall, James Arnold was a tech mogul whose most famous creation was the Arnold SIM, which offered wireless access to the internet but would later turn out to be part of one of his plans. He is also the man who came up with the Living Earth Theory, which stated that Earth was a living organism and that tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters were it fighting back against humanity, believing them to be a virus. This eventually led him to try and perform a mass genocide on humanity, hoping that by limiting the world's population it would no longer detect humanity as a threat. Surprisingly considering his obviously psychopathic nature, James does have a human side to him, being a big fan of sci-fi films and TV series, which would also play a part in his schemes, as he kidnapped his celebrity idols to make sure they wouldn't be affected by his genocide and he would even take ques from some movies and incorporate them into his plans. To put things simply, James Arnold is what happens when you give an anti-social nerd with a severe case of megalomania too much money.

"I originally wanted Eggsy to give the final thoughts for this entry, but he considers himself too close to the case. James Arnold's initial plan was one of the most widely successful schemes in criminal history. He almost won. Not just that, be he even infiltrated the Global Defense Agency itself, which threw us into chaos for some time after his arrest. What we originally considered to be a rich and delusional fan of science fiction turned out to be one of the most horrifying terrorists that the agency has ever had to deal with. In fact, I personally would have placed James' threat as Urgent, but according to the higher ups he doesn't pose enough of a physical threat to get that ranking. The director has stated that he wishes to recruit James at some point due to his mind, but I have pushed against it as much as my rank allows me to. Due to this internal argument, the intended execution of James has been put off several times, but I'm just glad that he's locked up where everyone is safe from him. Here's hoping it stays that way."

Jim Logan/Captain Universe



 * Real Name: Jim Logan
 * Occupation: Adventurer, astrophysicist
 * Nationality: English
 * Age: 87
 * Height: 5'9"
 * Weight: 165 lbs
 * Eyes: Black
 * Hair: Blonde
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Augmented Human
 * Affiliation: Seven Stars
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Urgent
 * Powers and Abilities: Captain Universe possesses mastery over the universe's fundamental forces, granting him numerous powers, several among them being self-duplication, flight, vastly increased intellect, invulnerability, energy manipulation, and superhuman physical attributes.

Once a British astrophysicist who worked to decipher the universe's inner workings, Jim Logan's life was forever changed while he was working to investigate mysterious radio waves emitted from outer space. Affected by the waves, Jim Logan's consciousness was transferred to another dimension, where five great men of science who transcended space and time -- Galileo, Archimedes, Leonardo da Vinci, Aristotle, and Pythagoras -- granted him the power to control the universe's scientific laws by shouting the word GALAP. Having been gifted with great powers for the great responsibility of safeguarding reality from unknowable forces, Jim Logan became the superhero Captain Universe, the Defender of the Spaceways, who protected the Milky Way Galaxy not just by himself, but also with his comrades, the Seven Stars: one of the first of the new generation of superheroes to have emerged after the end of the Second Great War.

For someone who was empowered by the super science of the 'Great Elders', Captain Universe's powers are practically indistinguishable from magic in their application. The full extent of his powers is unknown, though he has demonstrated a number of peculiar abilities that make him far more dangerous than his looks imply. He is capable of duplicating himself to great numbers to accomplish various tasks, discern the intent of other individuals and understand the occurrence of certain events with his cosmic sense, teleport over great distances, calculate massive amounts of probabilities in seconds, in addition to the usual powerset of flight and superhuman physicality. These powers would've been so useful to harness these days, if the Good Captain himself hadn't disappeared twenty years ago.

"For all intents and purposes, Captain Universe was the Solar of the United Kingdom: an inspirational hero of awesome powers who used his powers to better the lives of others around him as best as he could. Unlike Solar, however, Captain Universe acted more proactively against the problems of his time, such as infrastructure and social troubles. With him and the Seven Stars around, folks had a far greater life expectancy thanks to their scientific endeavors. Their presence didn't calm down the punks, but at least they could be counted amongst the real heroes who actually did something. At least that was so until they just disappeared years before the turn of the century... nobody knows where they are now, and things have gotten worse since then. Regardless where either the Seven Stars or Captain Universe are, I'm quite intrigued on the Elders that Jim claimed to have given him powers. Maybe there's a way to contact these Elders and ask them to grant us some insight concerning the universe? I'm pretty sure those philosophers would be willing to help us, fellow humans, agency or otherwise. I could try and replicate the whole radio transmission thing that got Jim his powers, but who knows what the outcome would be? I don't want to be the next Captain Universe, but I want folks to know what suggestions the Elders have to better humanity as a whole. If Jim could do all those humanitarian feats with their powers... imagine us having their knowledge."

John Flagg/Fighting American I



 * Real Name: John Flagg
 * Occupation: Adventurer, government operative
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 84
 * Height: 6'2"
 * Weight: 240 lbs
 * Eyes: Blue
 * Hair: Blond
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Augmented Human
 * Affiliation: United States Government
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Semi-Major
 * Powers and Abilities: John Flagg possesses superhuman physical and mental characteristics thanks to a classified military experiment. Additionally, he wields a durable buckler shield that houses various advanced weapons, as well as an assortment of other specialized equipment.

Born on the fourth of July, John Flagg was a natural-born patriot who was eager to serve his nation through the so-called glorious wars they waged. Though he wasn't able to participate in the battles of the Second World War, John Flagg was fortunate enough to be chosen as one of the candidates for the US Government's second generation superhuman arms program, meant to provide the nation with obedient supers they could deploy as countermeasures against the many problems they were facing at the time. In Flagg's case, he was enhanced to serve as a covert operative against the Soviets' own saboteurs, fighting their superhuman agents throughout the middle half of the 20th Century, from the Korean War to the Vietnam War.

John was officially decommissioned in 1975, the man himself having been sick of witnessing numerous atrocities, including the death of his sidekick, Speedboy. He was able to retire for a good twenty years or so, until the United States recommissioned him for numerous different missions against the new threats of the time that arose due to the ever-growing superhuman population of the world. While John was far from happy for this, the Fighting America had no qualms defending what was left of his country despite its many changes. Until this day, John Flagg, the Fighting American, remains an agent of the United States, albeit a far more critical person that he had ever been.

"One of the many byproducts of the United States' superhuman weapons program, and an unbelievably uninspired one. There are tons of people out there who look like him, and I'm pretty sure Flagg wasn't the first to use the whole stars-and-stripes-and-shield motif. Wardrobe issues aside, he's one hell of a fighter and a tough cookie you don't want to mess with. Trust me, stuff didn't go well when the US first recommissioned him while the man was on his 21st year of retirement. That being said, for a man who wanted to live a peaceful life, he seems to be awfully eager nowadays to jump on new missions. I guess he's not entirely the weary old veteran I suspected him to be."

Kira
Kira is a mysterious terrorist operating out of Japan who kills the corruptors of society and the dregs that despair the citizens. Whoever they are, they seem to have some sort of God Complex and have grown into a controversial figure over Japan. Some people view them as a hero willing to do what Japan's own heroes won't while some see Kira as a threat that murders people with no distinction. Regardless, Kira is regarded as a wild card for every side involved, and his identity is a mystery even to the greatest of investigators. That being said, it's only a matter of time until the Hero Association takes action against whoever this person is. "What the hell am I supposed to say about Kira? I know a lot of things, and Kira's identity isn't one of them. What I do know, however, is that this Kira could fuck over the world if they so wish. Thank God this Kira has no interest in the United States. I don't know who could stop them, but nothing stays hidden forever."

Koji Kabuto/Mazinger Z

 * Real Name; Koji Kabuto (兜 甲児, Kabuto Kōji)
 * Occupation: Adventurer, mechanic
 * Nationality: Japanese
 * Age: 25
 * Height: 5'4" (Kabuto); 65' (Mazinger Z)
 * Weight: 150 lbs (Kabuto); 20 tons (Mazinger Z)
 * Eyes: Black
 * Hair: Black
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human
 * Affiliation: Hero Association, Photon Power Laboratory
 * Hero Association Ranking: B-Class
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Major
 * Powers and Abilities: While not possessing powers of his own, Koji Kabuto is a talented mechanic who pilots the formidable robot known as the Mazinger Z, which was constructed with the near-invincible Super Alloy Z and powered by Photonic Energy, granting it a wide array of phenomenal powers.

Born into a brilliant family of scientists, teenager Koji Kabuto's life would change when he discovered the existence of the robot known as the Mazinger Z, which was created by his grandfather to defend the world from the threat of Dr. Hell and his Mechanical Beasts. Piloting the robot according to his grandfather's last wish, Koji Kabuto has since been fighting against the forces of Dr. Hell and every other threat to Japan with vigor and eagerness. Whilst infamously known for his brashness and hot-headedness, Koji's recklessness has been tempered by wisdom he learnt over the years, making him a far more mature figure than his outlook suggests.

His robot, the Mazinger Z, possesses a wide array of weapons that have been proven time and time again to be effective even against the most daunting of foes. From the dreaded Rocket Punch to the blazing Breast Fire, the Mazinger Z is a formidable construct capable of taking on a wide variety of threats. There's a good reason why only the strongest and most capable of supervillains have been able to waylay Mazinger Z, who has stood sentinel over Japan for many years and counting.

"You know, I admire the kid for having been gone through hell and back and coming out stronger than before, but if you ask me, I'm much more interested in whatever the hell 'Super Alloy Z' or 'Photonic Energy' is. Neither the Photon Power Laboratory nor the Japanese government have been willing to divulge details concerning either or both of those things... and I respect that. We've got secrets of our own to keep, too. On a side note, I'm curious over how on Earth did he get a B-Class in the Hero Association? Judging from his experience, he should've been an A. I'm guessing he's still got that hot-headedness somewhere within him that prevents the higher-ups there from promoting him further. Not that he cares much about it, I assume."

Matthew Patel

 * Real Name: Matthew Patel
 * Occupation: Military Reserve
 * Nationality: American/Indian
 * Age: 23
 * Height: 5'7"
 * Weight: 154 lbs
 * Eyes: Brown
 * Hair: Black
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Augmented Human
 * Affiliation: League of Evil Exes
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Semi-Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Matthew is able to generate fire from any part of his body (usually his hands and feet) and, if he wants, can proceed to chuck this fire as a projectile. He is also able to levitate, though he does not appear to be able to move particularly fast while in the air, only moving around the speed one does while running on foot. All of his powers seem to be traced back to a demon pact with four demons under his family's servitude. Seemingly under Matthew's (who they call "Matty") request, these demons have currently taken the form of identical quadruplet females in their late teens/early twenties. Matthew calls them his Demon Hipster Chicks, which is objectively hilarious.

Matthew was born in Mumbai but has very few memories from there, having moved to America when he was very young. Even before he was born, his family had dabbled in the occult, his great-grandfather having made a deal with four demons to serve his family and give them mystical powers. In middle school, Matthew was picked on for being physically weak and Indian, which caused him to use his before mentioned abilities against his bullies. This caught the attention of a young Ramona Flowers, who dated Matthew in exchange for him beating up her own harassers. Unfortunately, the relationship only lasted a week before Ramona dumped him. Proving himself to be vindictive and spiteful, he held on to this for the next decade, during which he became a member of the United States military under its superhuman recruits program, serving as a reserve. At some point, he came across an online post from Gideon Graves about Ramona and commented on it, ranting about his experiences with her. This got him recruited into Gideon's league that he was forming and he became the first man deployed in his game, crashing a gig of Sex Bob-Omb to try and kill Ramona's current boyfriend, Scott Pilgrim. The fight (which included an impromptu yet well choreographed song & dance number) ended in Matthew's defeat.

"Matthew Patel thinks that dressing like a pirate is "in" fashion. That isn't relevant, you just deserve to know that. Anyway, I'm less interested in Matthew himself and more the girls that follow him around. You know, the Demon Hipster Chicks. I want to know who they are, where they came from, and what deal Matthew's family made with them that got them to agree to do literally anything some punk kid with an emover says. Both agents at the GDA and the BPRD have their theories on their true identities, but nothing I feel comfortable putting in his file just yet. In addition, we've decided not to tell Matthew's military superiors about his criminal history because that could get him discharged and we like having him where he is since it allows for easier surveillance."

Morrigan Lugus



 * Real Name: Inapplicable
 * Occupation: None
 * Nationality: British
 * Age: Inapplicable
 * Height: 16' 7"
 * Weight: 550 lbs
 * Eyes: Black
 * Hair: Bald
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Mutate (human-fungi hybrid)
 * Affiliation: N/A
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Morrigan Lugus is capable of controlling lesser organic beings by utilizing a form of pheromone control that it can project over long distances. Additionally, he can propagate a form of space fungus wherever he is, slowly terraforming the environment and influencing individuals around him.

During the 20th Century, the British government sent a trio of astronauts into space as part of their fledgling space program, which is but one of the many fronts for Project Lughnasa: the United Kingdom's attempt at creating superhumans to secure their place in a world gradually filled with powerful entities. After eight days of travelling through the depths of space with limited shielding, the astronauts' vessel crash-landed on Norfolk and the trio were found transformed into a titanic three-headed being infested with a mysterious strain of fungi. Before the creature could relocate itself to Britain's population centers, it was successfully captured and contained by the British government for further study.

The creature, named Morrigan Lugus according to the names of two three-headed Celtic gods, corrupted the many personnel of his research facility in unexpected ways. Utilizing his unknowable fungi, Morrigan Lugus manipulated the pheromones of his researchers, prompting them to obscenely worship him. Despite the effects, the British government took further steps to secure and contain the abomination for their research, protecting much of the nation's population from their dirty giant secret. It is unknown what fruit has been borne from the efforts of researching Morrigan Lugus, but the British haven't stopped studying him until this very day. Whatever this Morrigan Lugus creature wants, it is best that he does not escape his prison whatsoever. "Britain's got their own share of superhumans nowadays, but I never expected whatever the hell this thing is to be one of them. The agency only knew of this being's presence because of an agent we embedded in Project Lughnasa, who was fortunate enough to be able to escape from the thing's influence. From his reports, this Morrigan Lugus is... for a lack of better term, a god of human make. The project's scientists were... spilling their seed and praying to him day and night until they were finished, either exhausted or dead. Funny thing is, our agent said that he heard that someone spoke to him, and Mr. Three Head said that he hates humanity and their weakness of, get this, bowing to non-existent gods. Humanity isn't without their faults, true. But what the hell has Morrigan Lugus done? This thing must have had such an ego he thinks himself a god! Even if he is, he doesn't deserve worship. The researchers technically did all those things because they were influenced by his fungi, which I'm not sure the British are studying. I'm much more inclined to believe that they're being distracted by him 'encouraging' everyone to play with themselves to 'honor' him. To be fair, he hasn't gone out of containment since he was captured, but there must be another way to render him docile and not make 10% of Britain impotent."

- Donald Ferguson, Deputy Director of the Global Defense Agency

Nemesis


Many years ago, a nameless child was found lost in the gutters of New Mexico by members of The Fraternity, led by a then much younger Solomon Seltzer. The child had barely a grasp of English, but in his eyes Seltzer saw a pure want to do harm and cause chaos. Taking a liking to him, Seltzer took the child in and he was raised by the community, being trained by the top agents of the North American Fraternity. Sent on mission after mission, the child became one of the Fraternity's greatest agents ever, topping even the first Killer and The Fox. However, as his skill grew, so did his sadism, as he grew to enjoy toying with his targets, breaking them down piece by piece and coming up with elaborate schemes that were testaments to his intellect. Other Fraternity members grew afraid of him and the straw that broke the camel's back came when he threatened and nearly killed another Fraternity agent, an unforgivable sin among members. He was kicked out of the group, but this didn't seem to affect him even in the slightest. He was happy that he was free of the rules and constrictions of The Fraternity and that he was now allowed to target any hero in the world. From that day forward, he had sworn to be the nemesis of the entire planet.
 * Real Name: Inapplicable
 * Occupation: Terrorist, professional criminal
 * Nationality: Unknown
 * Age: Unknown (around 30)
 * Height: 6'2"
 * Weight: 210 lbs
 * Eyes: Unknown
 * Hair: Unknown
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human(?)
 * Affiliation: Former member of The Fraternity
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Urgent
 * Powers and Abilities: Nemesis possesses a vast array of combat knowledge and experience. He has demonstrated a mastery over several forms of martial arts and can seemingly wield any weapon with great efficiency. He also wields several gadgets of his own design, such as various kinds of explosives, custom firearms, and high-tech vehicles. Nemesis has also shown incredible intellect, which is superior to even the most genius of minds. He is a master of the sciences and a tactician that rivals military generals. While assumed to be human, it can't be confirmed for sure, as Nemesis has "died" several times only to resurface weeks later with at most a new scar.

"Christ, what do you even say about this guy? Here at the agency, we keep a list of the people that we consider the most dangerous in the world. They're considered to be our "most wanted". For the past decade, Nemesis has been number three on that list... I've considered handling his case personally, but that would paint a big target on my back and, honestly, I think he might actually have what it takes to kill me and I don't want to leave the agency directorless. If he ever makes even a single mistake and we get even a sliver of information on him though, I'm grabbing that inch and taking a mile, because this guy doesn't just need to be arrested, he needs to be put down. Trust me when I say, the world needs a lot more Utopians and a lot less Nemeses..."

Ormon

 * Real Name: Ormon
 * Occupation: Marquis of Hell
 * Nationality: Inapplicable
 * Age: Unknown
 * Height: 2'4" (usually)
 * Weight: 21 lbs (usually)
 * Eyes: Black
 * Hair: Brown
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Demon
 * Affiliation: Demonic Council
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Catastrophic
 * Powers and Abilities: The full extent of Ormon's abilities are unknown. What has been witnessed first hand are his shapeshifting, teleportation, wish granting powers. Ormon can take on any form he wants and somehow teleport to areas that he has never been before, but his most famous (or infamous) ability is likely his wish granting nature. He randomly appears to people in their lowest moments and grants them any wish. They're given a seven day free trial and, if they don't take the wish back before then, Ormon will claim their soul and drag them to Hell.

Due to his very nature, little information exists about Ormon. What is known is that he is one of the Marquis of Hell, working directly under the Demonic Council to claim the souls of innocent people. In his heart, he is a corrupter that uses tantalizing offers to turn people to darkness. He often takes the form of innocent looking creatures (he currently has taken the form of a Indochinese rhesus macaque) to lure these people into a false sense of security, tricking them into trusting him before he takes everything away. He claims that many of the world's leaders and most wanted criminals are indebted to him, though whether this is true or an exaggeration has never been confirmed. Second only to the lords of Hell themselves, Ormon will go down in history as one of the most powerful demonic forces to have ever lived.

"Met him in Hell. Wasn't good then, isn't now. Not his true face. Haven't seen his real one. Can't kill him. Too strong. Too important. Could make the Demonic Council unhappy. A favorite to Lucifer. She enjoys his company. Very disturbing. Hoping he messes up one day. Will be sent back to Hell. Will not bother humans anymore. Will finally be out of the picture."

Oroku Saki/The Shredder
Oroku Saki was born into the Japan branch of the Foot Clan. He never met his mother and his older brother Nagi, who essentially raised him, refused to talk about either of their parents. When Saki was very young, around twelve, his brother grew jealous of another Foot member named Hamato Yoshi, who had married the woman Nagi loved. Catching him trying to force himself on her, Yoshi murdered Nagi in cold blood and flew to the states, leaving the poor Saki behind with no one to take care of him. Throughout the years, Saki trained harder than any other Foot member before or since him, becoming so gifted that he took over the entire clan at age 18. In his late 20s, he decided it was finally time to take his revenge, moving his organization to the U.S. and tracking down Yoshi, murdering him, his wife, and their four children. Years later, a mutated rat and his adopted children would claim to be Yoshi and his sons' reincarnations, but that is another story for another day. After taking his revenge, Saki got started on becoming the unquestioned lord of crime throughout the entire world. "I probably would never have thought about it if my associate Donald didn't point it out to me, but revenge is a cycle. You take your revenge on one person, another person swears revenge on you. Shredder's story is proof of that. He killed Yoshi and now, from what my intel suggests, a whole new generation has been trained to take their revenge on HIM. This "new generation" being mutant turtles, but that's neither here nor there... Either way, if they actually do manage to take their revenge on Shredder, then who's to say his daughter won't vow revenge on them and the cycle will start anew?"

Having received personal training from the greatest martial artists and warriors in the world, there are very few men that match Shredder's intense combat prowess, complemented by his customized armor, which includes two knife-like daggers on both of his knuckles. His intellect for strategy, reasoning, and battle tactics have allowed him to lead a global organization for the better part of two or three decades. He also has a large amount of mystic knowledge, though he himself possesses no mystical abilities.

Phil Seleski/Solar
During the Cold War, Dr. Phil Seleski was the lead scientist of a secret government project that was meant to develop a new type of fusion reactor that would safely supply energy to swathes of America. During the project's final stages, however, a catastrophic reactor failure occurred and inflicted massive casualties. Dr. Seleski, however, did not die. Instead, he found himself transformed into a powerful being of radiation, who possessed powers undreamt of in an era of dread and panic. Despite this, Phil chose not to use his powers for his own interests, but to aid others in endeavors of good: a good choice, especially knowing the climate of the world at the time. Taking the name Solar, Man of the Atom, he became the herald of a new age of superheroes, who set an example for future supers concerning the crucialness of responsibly using their powers.
 * Real Name: Phil Seleski
 * Occupation: Adventurer, physicist
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 47
 * Height: 5' 8"
 * Weight: 176 lbs
 * Eyes: Black
 * Hair: Grey
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Augmented Human
 * Affiliation: Independent
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Catastrophic
 * Powers and Abilities: Solar possesses control over all forms of radiation, allowing him to manipulate certain energies for a variety of purposes. Known powers include superhuman physical attributes, phasing, regeneration, energy absorption and projection, matter manipulation, teleportation, and a degree of reality manipulation.

It was a feat by itself that Solar didn't go rogue and instead maintained his moral compass, even with the immense powers he had. Until today, Solar is still considered one of the strongest superheroes to have ever dwelled the planet. The cause of Solar's powers may be poorly understood, but their potency is undeniable. His powers were identical towards what would be classified as 'flying bricks' in this day and age, but the greatest asset Solar had was his power to manipulate energy, which allowed him to transform objects such as gold into mercury, unleash star-destroying explosions, absorb black holes into himself, freeze clouds, create huge rainstorms, travel through radio waves, and last but not least, manipulate gravity to his whims. For all intents and purposes, many have taken to calling Solar a god, though Mr. Seleski did not approve of such a label. He was a man granted phenomenal powers, and he would do phenomenal things of good with them until the day he died.

"Solar may not be the first superhero, but he was the one who taught the others the meaning of heroism. While his activities were supported by the government, he came into conflict with them multiple times in his attempt to make the world a better place. Being a hero doesn't mean that you flaunt your powers in front of the camera for a thousand bucks or follow every order your sponsor gives. Being a hero means that you're willing to do what is right even if it may cost you your life. Yes, Solar had so many powers he could just destroy the United States with but a mere thought, but it was quite a feat that he didn't let loose against the insolents, wasn't it? Let the hot-headed ones think that he was weak because he didn't unleash his powers. Phil was strong not because of his powers, but because he knew when to use and not to use them. As of this entry's writing, Phil Seleski has been dead for 38 years, having sacrificed his life on the 15th of January 1982 preventing a plot that could have triggered World War III. While skeptics -- including me -- believe that Phil is going to return some way or another due to his immense powers, such an event has not happened. His daughter, Erica Seleski, does not exhibit any inheritance of Phil's powers, aside from his intellect, meaning that it's unlikely that Phil's atomic wonders are going to resurface in her. Regardless, the world thanks you for your deeds, Dr. Seleski. Rest well, Man of the Atom. You deserve it."

Ramona Flowers



 * Real Name: Ramona Victoria Flowers
 * Occupation: Amazon delivery girl
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 25
 * Height: 5'9"
 * Weight: 120 lbs
 * Eyes: Blue
 * Hair: Unknown. Changes "like, every few weeks"
 * Sex: Female
 * Species: Augmented Human
 * Affiliation: Amazon
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Through a currently unknown means, Ramona Flowers has gained control over the pocket dimension known as Subspace, which is a mysterious force that inhabits the minds of all living creatures and seems to be somehow connected to our own reality. Subspace seems to be a dream-like world which is unique to each person and Ramona can bend her own Subspace to her will, allowing her to teleport anything, including herself, in milliseconds and store items in objects too small for them, such as putting her over sized hammer in a small handbag. She can also enter other people's minds using Subspace, though she seems to hold no power over other people's Subspaces. Objects that Ramona uses to teleport are referred to as "Subspace Doors" and marked with a star. She is also an expert roller skater and combatant, but that probably pales in comparison to everything else.

Ramona Flowers is incredibly protective of her personal life and thus little information exists about her. What is known is that she is an incredibly powerful, seemingly psychic human being with emotionally unstable tendencies that caused her to date men (and one woman) who weren't good for her. Most notable out of these was her relationship with music producer Gideon Graves, who infected her with The Glow virus. At some point, she moved to Toronto and became a delivery girl for Amazon, using her abilities to deliver packages faster. It was during this time she met and began dating Scott Pilgrim, although both of them were haunted by Ramona's exes who had formed an organization to take revenge on Ramona and her new boyfriend. However, due to a combination of The Glow's affects, her natural self-destructive nature, and the paranoia that Scott may become an evil ex himself, she eventually left him without saying goodbye, trapping herself in her own mind. Supposedly, during this time she intended on fixing everything but "got distracted and binged the X-Files". She eventually returned during Scott Pilgrim's confrontation with Gideon, expelling The Glow from her mind and accepting herself, warts and all, as well as agreeing to date Scott again. After Gideon's defeat, the pair walked away together, hoping to repair both their lives and relationship.

"It's a long shot, but I hope that we can pull some strings to get Ramona in for an interview. I want to know how she found out how to manipulate Subspace and if other people can figure out how. That'd definitely give us an advantage in future arrests. Imagine it, the next time Adam-One is up to his business, seventy-five GDA agents all teleport around him at the same time. Or maybe they teleport into his mind and kick his ass mentally. With how closed off she is, even to her friends and boyfriend, though I doubt that she'd ever agree. The only other person that's figured out how to manipulate Subspace is Gideon Graves, and I really don't think HE'D be up to tell us anything, so I guess that pipe dream will have to stay a pipe dream for now."

Rom K'atsema
Born on the peaceful planet of Elonia to Shah and Benna K'atsema, Rom of Elonia was a geologist filled with a lust for life whose life was forever changed when the Dire Wraiths invaded the planet by infiltrating it through a meteor shower. The attack killed his brother, Reyn, and one of his mothers, Benna, while Shah herself was infected by one of the hideous beings. After surviving the initial attack, Rom was recruited into the Solstar Order and soon engaged in combat with a group of Wraiths: an event which led him and his friends to discovering the miracle that was Ore-12, which transformed them into powerful armored beings capable of annihilating Dire Wraiths with ease. With this newfound discovery and its adoption by the Solstar Order, Rom became the vanguard for the Solstar Order's attempt to protect the universe by proactively annihilating the cruel Dire Wraiths, his exploits known and feared far and wide throughout galaxies, even until this day.
 * Name: Rom K'atsema
 * Occupation: Space Knight
 * Nationality: Elonian
 * Age: 220
 * Height: 6'2"
 * Weight: 220 lbs
 * Eyes: White
 * Hair: Black
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Elonian
 * Affiliation: Solstar Order
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Rom wears an armor of extraterrestrial origin that grants him enhanced superhuman physicality, flight, and self-sustenance, making him capable of traversing through the depths of space over long periods of time. His primary weapons, the Analyzer and the Neutralizer, respectively allows him to detect the presence of Dire Wraiths and exterminate them with extreme prejudice.

Rom wears a powerful armor made of a mysterious material known as Ore-12, which grants him increased physical attributes, flight, and self-sustenance, freeing him from the need of food, water, and oxygen, allowing him to travel through deep space comfortably. Rom's primary offensive weapons are his Analyzer and Neutralizer, which grant the ability to scan for the presence of Dire Wraiths and incinerate them to the point of disintegration. His Neutralizer can be set to project different levels of potencies of energy beams, the weakest being known to be able to easily render an adult human unconscious, while the strongest being infamous for having the temperature of a star. Additionally, Rom is an adept tactician, especially known for his ability to read the characters of others in order to identify their status as Dire Wraiths, even without the Analyzer.

"One of the most reliable guys you'll ever know in outer space, provided you're not a Dire Wraith, let alone a shapeshifter. As the de facto leader of the Solstar Order, Rom is one of the Coalition's most reliable allies due to his efforts having helped stabilize the galactic peace by stemming the tide of Dire Wraith onslaught. Admittedly, details of the Order's war with the Dire Wraiths are sketchy, but if it wasn't for Rom's proactiveness, we would all have been Dire Wraiths today. That being said, I figure that there's still some sadness laying within him hidden beneath all that Ore-12. He lost the opportunity to achieve his dreams when the Dire Wraiths attacked Elonia, and he has lost nearly all of his loved ones to those shapeshifting bastards. Not all that different from me, if you ask. But my point is, this guy deserves far more credit for cleansing the galaxy. If he ever comes to [Earth], please don't open fire on him immediately, at least. His equipment is actually standard issue to the Solstar Order. Not that hard to replicate with resources and technology from other planets. What makes him unique, however, is his armor, which is made from something called Ore-12. This ore amplifies the potency of the Analyzer and Neutralizer and makes him far damn tougher than his stature implies, which makes Rom an extremely lethal enemy to the Dire Wraiths. He's not called the Wraithslayer for nothing, you know. And if you're wondering, no, we can't replicate Ore-12 and share it to [the Global Defense Agency]. This thing is rare, and we're still investigating where it actually came from. Oh, and no, you can't harvest it off Rom's armor, because it sticks. He'll neutralize you if you try doing that, anyway, Dire Wraith or not."

Scott Pilgrim



 * Real Name: Scott William Pilgrim
 * Occupation: Prep cook, part-time musician
 * Nationality: Canadian
 * Age: 24
 * Height: 5'11"
 * Weight: 189 lbs
 * Eyes: Brown
 * Hair: Brown
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Augmented Human
 * Affiliation: Shatter Band, formerly Sex Bob-omb
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Semi-Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Scott and his friends are rare examples of people outside of Asia born with Quirks. Scott's Quirk, "Arcade", is an Emitter-type which allows him to mildly warp reality, forcing it to operate on video game logic. For example, Scott is able to fight incredibly well despite no formal training because that's how it works in games. He also has increased strength and durability. He can also force his enemies to operate on game logic, with them exploding into coins upon defeat only to "respawn" in the last area they slept. Scott himself is also able to respawn, but he must gain an Extra Life to do so, which are created when he defeats a particularly powerful enemy.

Scott Pilgrim was born to John and Loretta Pilgrim and was the oldest of three siblings, the other two being Stacey and Lawrence Pilgrim (the latter later changing his surname to West). Scott attended St. Joel's Catholic High School as a teen and was a troublemaker even back then, constantly getting into fights and at one point punching a student in the face out of jealousy over his girlfriend. Scott would later date said girlfriend, Kim Pines, who was the only other student at the school with a Quirk. The two fell out of touch when Scott's family moved to Toronto but they later reunited after college. During his college years, Scott met his best friends, Stephen Stills and Wallace Wells, and Scott also dated world famous pop star Envy Adams before her claim to fame. Supposedly, the two had a horrible break up. After college, all of Scott's friends moved into the same neighborhood and started the band Sex Bob-omb but Scott, ever the manchild, dated a girl far too young for him.

Knives Chau was only a high schooler then, and that combined with Scott meeting the (literal) girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers, eventually caused the two to break up. Unfortunately, dating Ramona came with unforeseen consequences, as Ramona's evil exes challenged Scott one by one, ending with a battle between Scott and music producer Gideon "G-Man" Graves. Throughout all of this, Scott and Ramona had major ups and downs in their relationship, but Scott managed to break down her walls and Ramona forced Scott to try and act his age. Though they had previously gone through a heart shattering break up, after everything was over and done with they decided to give things a second chance and they walked into a Subspace door in the snow. Current whereabouts unknown.

"While not a superhero in the traditional sense, Scott has many "superheroic" qualities, such as a sense of justice, a constant hope to do better, and, of course, his superhuman abilities. What makes him different though is that he has no costumed alter ego. When it comes to Scott Pilgrim, what you see is what you get. And what you get is... all things considered, a fairly normal guy. For who's probably Canada's most famous "superhero", most of Scott's time is spent either practicing the bass, watching television, or going on dates with his girlfriend. Speaking of, despite everything we know suggesting things won't work out, I'm rooting for them. Both of them are kind of assholes, but they're the type of assholes that're attracted to each other. That was a strange way to phrase that, but you probably get my meaning."

Simon Pooni/Superior


Simon Pooni was born to Katherine Pooni and an unknown father. Simon's mother raised him by herself and seemed to have been doing a fairly decent job at it, as Simon was on the course to becoming an athlete, having taken up basketball. Unfortunately, he began to suffer from multiple sclerosis (MS) which affected his spinal cord, eventually forcing Simon to be bound to a wheelchair. To cope, Simon began reading and eventually became obsessed with the popular comic book character Superior, introduced to him by his best friend Chris. Simon looked up to Superior for his kindhearted and "never give up" attitude. However, he was a frequent target of bullies that picked on him for his obsession and the fact he was in a wheelchair, which caused Simon to grow angry and bitter because of his condition. One day after seeing a film based on Superior, Simon was visited by a monkey in a space suit (later identified as the demon Ormon), who promised to give Simon one wish, and Simon wished to become Superior. Since then, he's done his best to live up to the ideals that his idol set for him and become the greatest superhero in the world.
 * Real Name: Simon Pooni
 * Occupation: Student
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 14 (Simon), around 30 (Superior)
 * Height: 5'4" (Simon), 6'3" (Superior)
 * Weight: 125 (Simon), 235 lbs (Superior)
 * Eyes: Brown
 * Hair: Dark brown
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Augmented Human
 * Affiliation: Hell (technically)
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Catastrophic
 * Powers and Abilities: Superior possesses all of the abilities of the Superior movie character. He is likely the physically strongest thing in the world and can move at speeds that allow him to loop the world in seconds. He is also incredibly durable, with almost nothing currently invented by humanity being able to hurt him. Other abilities include the ability to fire lasers from his eyes, breathe freezing cold breath, X-ray vision, and enhanced senses which are greater than even other humans with superhuman senses. He is also immortal and cannot age, but all of his powers rely on him being under a sun, which hyper charge his cells. Seemingly at will, he is able to switch between his regular and "Superior" selves.

"Good kid. Head screwed on right. A lot like Utopian, Omni-Man, and Homelander. Lots of men like Superior. Wondering why. Different though. Got powers from magic. Not natural. Bad things might come from it. Hoping that they won't. Don't want the kid to be hurt. Need more people like him. Willing to do good without reward. Hoping Ormon doesn't come back for him..."

Solomon Seltzer/The Professor

 * Real Name: Solomon Seltzer
 * Occupation: Scientist, terrorist
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 86
 * Height: 5'8"
 * Weight: 170 lbs
 * Eyes: Brown
 * Hair: White
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human
 * Affiliation: American Fraternity
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Major
 * Powers and Abilities: The professor is the number one smartest man in the world. He has a degree and mastery in all forms of science, including, but not limited to, chemistry, robotics, mechanics, physics, medicine, and zoology, as well as being a proud member of Mensa. He also has an extensive knowledge of martial arts, but he his increasing age has caused his body to not be what it used to be.

For reasons currently unknown, Solomon Seltzer's mind developed much faster than any other human being's on Earth. He was able to comprehend language and speak in the womb, was in college when other kids his age were in kindergarten, and he made his first million at age 12. However, his far superior intelligence eventually led to severe narcissism and sociopathic tendencies, which his colleagues have attested to. In his youth, he was one of the world's biggest weapon manufacturers, developing many of the high-end artillery that are still used today. However, he threw this all away when he began developing an obsession with superhuman beings, particularly the Union of Justice whose story he was fascinated by. After trying and failing to talk the Union into joining him, the Utopian believing he would have weaponized them, he decided to take matters into his own hands and attacked Utopian directly, ending in him being ousted from his own company.

Strangely, Solomon seemed to both not hold this against the Union and not even care about it all that much, instead focusing the next decades of his life kidnapping, experimenting on, and attempting to recreate superhumans in an attempt to create his own army of them. His reason for this has changed several times over the years, ranging from a personal vengeance quest, to world domination, to wanting to sell them to the highest bidder. Notable attempts that came from this are the villains Sucker, Shithead, and Fuckwit (Solomon also famously has a potty mouth...). Eventually, Solomon would manage to make his dream come true when he became a founding member and one of the heads of The Fraternity, a coalition of supervillains. Since then, his duties to The Fraternity seem to have overshadowed his own ambitions and he has gone off the grid.

"Shame that he turned out the way he did, if Seltzer lent his intelligence to our side he might've turned out to be the greatest weapon in our arsenal. Look at his son, he started out like him but he turned over to our side and now people think he might be on the course to find the cure for cancer. But considering the state that his mind's currently in, I don't think there's a chance of that ever happening. The current plan is to find him and perform as many scans on his brain as we can to figure out how he developed so fast in hopes that we can replicate it. A group of super geniuses with his level of intelligence under our command would definitely come in handy. If we ever do manage to capture him, hopefully we can preform the scans as fast as possible before the government inevitably demands his execution."

Stanley Ipkiss/The Mask
Stanley Ipkiss was an average and geeky bank teller whose normalcy ended when he found a strange mystic mask that pushed him to insanity and wild vigilantism. While initially struggling to bear with the Mask's effects, he would soon grow to accept the Mask as part of his new identity, deciding to use its powers for the betterment of others. Although his bizarre behavior and clearly dangerous powers have intimidated many who have come across him, it's remarkable for Stanley to have never used his powers for crime despite the immense potential the Mask grants him. That being said, there have been many charges put forward detailing Ipkiss' misdeeds, including the murder of several cops and numerous property destructions.
 * Real Name: Stanley Ipkiss
 * Occupation: Bank teller, vigilante
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 27
 * Height: 5'9"
 * Weight: 198 lbs
 * Eyes: Brown
 * Hair: Brunette
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human
 * Affiliation: N/A
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Catastrophic
 * Powers and Abilities: Stanley Ipkiss wears a mystical mask aptly known as the Mask, which confers him the power to alter reality and shapeshift not just his own body but the environment around him to operate under cartoonish physics.

The Mask that grants Ipkiss his powers is an interesting object of mystical importance. Agency research has pointed out evidence towards the Mask's origins laying in Africa, though it's unknown which part of it is its true beginning. Those who wear the Mask, like Mr. Ipkiss, are given the ability to rewrite the law of physics and substitute it with the wearer's own understanding, which becomes warped into insanity the moment they wear the artifact. The crazier the wearer gets; the more potent the Mask's effects will be. However, Mr. Ipkiss has been known to have taken off the Mask by his own volition, which means that at the very least, its influence can be resisted to varying degrees of success.

"Stanley is a very interesting case. He received these powers practically out of nowhere, but he doesn't use it to actively kill or enslave the world and its people. He uses it for heroics... aside from certain cases at the beginning of his 'transformation', of course. Nevertheless, I find it admirable that Stanley could resist the Mask's lure of power. Though, I guess if you're crazy, anything goes. What concerns me is the possibility of what happens if someone else irresponsible gets ahold of the Mask. I'll give Stanley the benefit of the doubt, but in any case, it's better for us to prepare for the worst-case scenario if the Mask falls into the wrong hands."

Thokk/Battle Beast



 * Real Name: Thokk
 * Occupation: Intergalactic mercenary
 * Nationality: Inapplicable
 * Age: Unknown
 * Height: 7'6"
 * Weight: 776 lbs
 * Eyes: Yellow
 * Hair: White
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Unidentified Alien Race
 * Affiliation: None
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Urgent
 * Powers and Abilities: Battle Beast is one of the strongest beings in the known galaxy. Through sheer brute force, he has managed to defeat Invincible, both Black Samson and Bulletproof at the same time, and half of the Guardians of the Globe. He is also able to withstand hits from the most powerful people in the universe and has many years of experience when it comes to combat and war, as well as a collection of weapons from across the galaxy. Not to mention his natural claws and fangs, which he has used as weapons on many occasions.

Thokk, who later in life would adopt the name Battle Beast, has revealed very few personal facts about his life. What is known is that he was trained from a young age to defend his home planet from invading forces. He became increasingly better and more brutal with combat until one day he realized he had peaked and that no one on his home planet would be able to challenge him anymore. Because of this, he left his home in search for opponents he deemed "worthy". He mainly operates in his galaxy and the Milky Way, which has earned him the title "Scourge of the Twin Galaxies". Thus far, no one has managed to hold their own against Battle Beast or been able to satisfy his blood lust, which seems to only fuel his never ending rage. Battle Beast first made himself known to the denizens of Earth when he was hired by the crime boss Machine Head to be one of his bodyguards, though he proceeded to quit days later and has not been on Earth since. Rumors say that after his fight with Invincible, he is currently searching the galaxy for the leader of the Viltrumites, who he believes may be the worthy challenger he longs for.

"I'm gonna be blunt with you. I've never met the guy. Everything I'm about to say I've heard from people that aren't him, so take it with a grain of salt. From those rumors, this guy has won wars by himself, killed the strongest guys in the universe, and, if I'm being humble, he's probably even stronger than me, and I was specifically bred for the purpose of being the strongest of my people. But, despite how terrifying he is, weirdly enough I've got a lot of respect for him. He's not a good person, that's for sure, but he's got a code of honor that he literally never breaks. He wants a fair fight and he won't take any advantage over his enemy no matter what, to the point he apparently once shot himself in the stomach to weaken himself before a fight with a much weaker opponent. That respect doesn't mean I ever want to meet the guy though, since he'd DEFINITELY try to fight me and I'd DEFINITELY die. Also, he supposedly has a daughter on a distant world somewhere, so that's horrifying to think about, that there might be another one of him running around out there."

Tsuyu Asui/Rainy Season Hero: Froppy



 * Name: Tsuyu Asui (蛙あ吹すい梅雨つゆ, Asui Tsuyu)
 * Occupation: Adventurer, student
 * Nationality: Japanese
 * Age: 16
 * Height: 4'11"
 * Weight: 130 lbs
 * Eyes: Black
 * Hair: Dark Green
 * Sex: Female
 * Species: Augmented Human
 * Affiliation: Hero Association, U.A. High School
 * Hero Association Ranking: Unregistered (in-training)
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Minor
 * Powers and Abilities: Tsuyu's Quirk, "Frog", grants her the powers of a frog, which includes enhanced swimming abilities, long-distance hopping, prehensile tongue, wall-sticking, camouflage, mucous secretion, object storage in her stomach, and superhuman physical attributes.

Born in the Aichi Prefecture, Tsuyu Asui spent a good portion of her life taking care of her younger siblings due to her parents' busyness. As someone who possesses a Quirk, Tsuyu Asui's appearance resembles those of a human-frog hybrid, which made it hard for her to make friends with others during her younger years. However, her loneliness wouldn't last long as she gained a friend in a similar fellow named Habuko Mongoose, who also had a strange appearance due to her Quirk. Despite eventually parting with one another, Tsuyu's loneliness would dissipate as she became a student in the prestigious U.A. High School, where many of its superhuman students share the uniqueness as the youngster herself.

Tsuyu excelled in her career within the High School, having been commended by more professional superheroes during her internships thanks to her skill and creativity in making use of her powers. True enough, she may not have the most potent of powers, but her surprisingly sociable nature and quick-thinking makes her a capable supporter in any engagement she's in, provided she fights alongside other supers. On her own, Tsuyu is capable of holding her own against other superhumans with her enhanced strength and acrobatic abilities, but she operates best in a team, where her abilities could provide her team enhanced reconnaissance and mobility.

"Tsuyu Asui, AKA Rainy Season Hero: Froppy. It's quite funny how elaborate the names of some of these Japanese heroes are, but I appreciate how committed they are to their names. Of course, this includes Ms. Asui. I find it curious how much of a change her Quirk did to her, and I certainly understand the feeling of alienation when your form does not conform to the expectations of others. Nevertheless, I am happy that she is not alone in this, and I am happier still to see how amazing she is as a hero. If circumstances permit, I would like to recruit her into the Guardians of the Globe. But then again, it's only a matter of time until I find someone else who can glue together the team like her elsewhere. Biologically speaking, her existence should not have been possible. But then again, we live in a world full of impossibilities. I am not saying that I disfavor her, but I am fascinated by how through her Quirk, she was shaped into a perfect human-frog hybrid without the deformities that are notable among the United States' mutants, such as those turtles beneath New York. This would warrant a study, but as it stands, the Quirks themselves are a mystery of their own. What is not a mystery, however, is how good of an example Tsuyui sets for younger heroes. She is dutiful, friendly, optimistic, and doesn't hesitate to help others and ask such in return."

Unute/Berzerker



 * Real Name: Unute
 * Occupation: Warrior
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 80,000
 * Height: 6'1"
 * Weight: 192 lbs
 * Eyes: Black
 * Hair: Black
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Demigod
 * Affiliation: Independent
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Berzerker possesses heightened physical capabilities and resistance towards aging, owing to his semi-divine nature. Should he die in battle, he will be reborn somewhere on the planet from a cocoon, his memories intact and his wounds recovered as if nothing happened. He is also a master combatant and tactician, who has accumulated thousands of years' worth of skills without having forgotten any of them.

Born eighty thousand years ago in the lands that would become Saudi Arabia as the result of a union between a mortal woman and an unknown god, who procreated to bring forth a weapon for the woman's tribe that would defend them and destroy their enemies. Needless to say, the child, also known as Unute (lit. tool/weapon), succeeded in his task and massacred the tribe's many adversaries, but failed to save his village from a surprise marauder attack that killed his family. After these events, Unute would travel forth from his lands and walk the world to fulfill his life's purpose to become a living weapon: something he has quite disdained after thousands of years. Due to his inability to perish from existence even in death and his calling that constantly attracts him to mankind's wars, Unute has led a torturous life. Desiring a permanent end, Unute now fights only so he can die, even if that means that he must battle alongside malicious and cruel ones.

Years ago, Unute made a deal with the United States to fight battles that were too much even for them to handle. In exchange, the government would help him understand the truth behind his existence and find a way to end his immortality. Although the deal has since been annulled for classified reasons, the powers of this demigod are well-documented, though their fullest extent have yet to be discovered. Undeniably, the greatest asset Unute has is his ability to resurrect. Every time he is killed in battle, Unute will be reborn through a cocoon that emerges somewhere on the planet, regardless the way that he died. In battle, Unute has demonstrated a high level of superhuman strength and endurance, though they are surprisingly not on par as several high-end supers, such as Omni-Man and Supreme. Regardless, his tactical acumen and training mean that defeating him is a difficult task, as he has a powerful balanced combination of power and intellect. He's not the strongest, but he has the skills to compensate in return. "It is rare for someone like Mr. Unute to willingly lend his assistance to the United States. While his request is rather unbeneficial for him on paper, seeing how long he has lived and suffered should give you the understanding on how he really needs death. Unfortunately, his cooperation with the government is no longer material, and his current whereabouts are unknown. Judging from his past records with the government, however, it seems that wherever he goes, battles aren't going to be far behind. Problem is, knowing how many superhuman conflicts and international wars are occurring today, there's no telling where he's going to pop up next. This is also a potentially dangerous situation, as based on his past recorded statements, it seems that he will not hesitate to cooperate with less-than-savory figures to accomplish his goals. He may not be the most formidable supers today but having him as our enemy would be a catastrophic affair. For someone who struggles with unstoppable rage, Mr. Unute has been known to be quite a well-reserved character. Perhaps, the calmness that he exudes is the precise reason why he seems to not be a raging brute of no control. After all, he has lived thousands of years of life, which is more than enough time for him to practice his composure. This, in addition to many other attributes, would have convinced me to recruit him to the GDA, if only we had actually found ways to kill him. While I believe he's willing to work with us like he did with others, I recognize what it is to be disappointed and disenchanted over promises one knows to be futile. I hope Mr. Unute gets the peace he sorely needs."

Victor Falco/The Rat King
Dr. Victor Falco was a scientist known for his obsession with evolution and transformation, becoming an outcast of the scientific community. One day, after discovering the existence of mutants, he grew fascinated by their very being and uniqueness, believing that they may be the key to the evolution of mankind for their own betterment. Due to this, he captured the mutant Leatherhead, unaware that he made friends with four mutant turtles, who were less than keen to see their friend being captured and experimented upon by the insane genius. During their confrontation, Falco died of electrocution, frying him to death. However, that was not to become the end of his existence, as in the afterlife, he encountered a chaotic deity known as the Rat King, who made a deal with him to be his champion. Becoming the creature's vessel, he was given a second chance in life, yet became even more disfigured and insane. In turn, however, he gained the ability to control beings with the DNA of rats contained within them. Now, Dr. Falco seeks to gather the outcasts of society into the congregation of the Rat King, spreading the glory of the Rat King through means known only to the insane doctor and his disciples.
 * Real Name: Victor Falco
 * Occupation: Mad scientist, vessel of the true Rat King
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 38
 * Height: 6'2"
 * Weight: 222 lbs
 * Eyes: Blue
 * Hair: Brown
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Godly Vessel
 * Affiliation: The True Rat King
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Semi-Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Before becoming the Rat King's vessel, Falco was a man of gifted intellect. After being chosen by the Rat King, he gained the power to control rats or anyone with rat DNA inside of them.

"I have to be completely blunt, when Agent Bishop first gave me the report on the Rat King, I was terrified. A mad scientist granted a second chance at life by a madder god. Thank the Lord that this Rat King has no ambitions to conquer or destroy the world. That being said, our lack of knowledge over his true motivations means that Dr. Falco may be far more dangerous than his outlook expresses. Speaking from experience, anyone connected with any supernatural sources is bad news, and the Rat King is no different."

Wale Williams/EXO



 * Name: Wale Williams
 * Occupation: Adventurer
 * Nationality: Nigerian
 * Age: 25
 * Height: 5'6"
 * Weight: 180 lbs
 * Eyes: Black
 * Hair: Black
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human
 * Affiliation: N/A
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Semi-Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Wale Williams' supersuit, the EXO Armor, grants him enhanced physical attributes, gravity manipulation, flight, and energy projection. If the situation warrants it, the armor can also enhance its own capabilities by drawing upon the Prime-X within Wale's bloodstream, which severely weakens the wearer afterwards.

Born in Lagoon City to Tunde and Omolola Williams, Wale Williams lived a relatively comfortable live within the metropolis, which was made possible by the work of his father, Tunde, as Prytek's Head of R&D Department. However, an accident that claimed the life of his mother, Omolola, pushed Wale to go on a journey of self-discovery for five years outside of the city. Upon Wale's return, he discovered the machinations of the terrorist organization, CREED, who wished to take over the city for their own purposes, as well as the appearance of two of his father's creations: the artificial intelligence, GAI, and the suit of armor known as the Endogenic Xoskeletal Ordnance (EXO). While initially reluctant to have anything to do with them, Wale was forced to cooperate with GAI and operate the EXO when CREED renewed their attacks on the city. Eventually coming to terms with his father's inventions and their implications, Wale became the hero EXO, who defends Nigeria from everyone who would see it be ruined.

While the EXO Armor resembles stereotypical power armors, the suit Wale wears is powered by the Prime-X flowing through both the armor itself and the wearer's bloodstream, which means that the EXO Armor can only be worn and reach its full potential by Wale himself. By harnessing the power of one of the most powerful fuels on Earth, the EXO Armor can greatly enhance its own capabilities to the point that it allows Wale to push away skyscrapers while being supported by the armor's thrusters and blast energy beams powerful enough to destroy concrete. On the other hand, his artificial intelligence guide, GAI, is one of the most advanced of its kind, who is capable of hacking through sophisticated defense systems and calculate millions of probabilities within attoseconds, helping Wale in making his decisions.

"I must say, I'm quite impressed to see the level of technology that the EXO Armor exhibits, as well Mr. Williams' willingness to sacrifice his comforts to save the lives of others with the assets he has in hand. I have not seen many superheroes arising from Africa, and I'm happy to know that Nigeria has its own hero for the new generation, although Mr. Williams is neither the first African nor Nigerian superhero. Nevertheless, I admire Mr. Williams' efforts to combat crime and other real-world issues, even though such an undertaking is a herculean one. I understand that Mr. Williams actually has other 'sidekicks' in the form of his brother and fiancée, but as far as things go, he's the one doing the most work, and the one to be learning the most in the future. Of course, a note must be made upon his armor and its power source, Prime-X. Prime-X is unlike any other power source I have seen before. Though, such a statement would also apply to every kind of alternate power sources people invent these days, admittedly. What makes me intrigued over Prime-X is how potent and unbelievably efficient it is. Makes me wonder if Prime-X is actually magical. No, that claim has a basis. Whilst I was analyzing Mr. Williams' battle with the rogue artificial intelligence, AVON, I was able to pick up trails of unknown energies emitting from the EXO Armor. As far as my database goes, the only energy I have yet to catalogue is magic, and that piques my interest. Perhaps one day, I could invite Mr. Williams for a chat about it... and his potential membership in the Guardians of the Globe."

Wesley Gibson/The Killer (II)


Wesley is the second Killer and is the son of the first. His father abandoned Wesley when he was a few months old and Wesley was raised by his mother, who taught him to never raise his fists against anyone. Wesley took this advice too literally and became a human doormat, allowing bullies to beat him until they got bored. As an adult, he only ever got dead end jobs that he hated and his only girlfriend was a woman that was constantly cheating on him and bragging to Wesley about it. Wesley's father was eventually killed by an unknown assassin and he was confronted after his job by the thief known as The Fox, who revealed Wesley's father's status as a Fraternity member and offered Wesley the chance to replace him. The next morning, Wesley proceeded to beat his own boss and break up with his girlfriend before going off the grid. The next time Wesley was seen, he had donned his father's iconic costume and was now a gun toting merc under the employment of the Fraternity, who had turned the once spineless man into a force to be reckoned with.
 * Real Name: Wesley Allan Gibson
 * Occupation: Professional criminal, mercenary
 * Nationality: American
 * Age: 26
 * Height: 5'10"
 * Weight: 175 lbs
 * Eyes: Blue
 * Hair: Blond
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Augmented Human
 * Affiliation: American Fraternity
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Semi-Major
 * Powers and Abilities: Wesley was born with naturally enhanced senses and physicality. This is credited to his supposedly "special blood" which has an unknown chemical in it that allows him to concentrate his adrenaline and endorphins, allowing him to increase his strength, speed, dexterity, and durability at any given moment. Possibly also due to this, he has a deadeye unmatched by any other marksman in the world. In his possession are several high-tech devices, such as jetpacks, plasma grenades, and guns which allow him to "curve" bullets.

"I know I've said this once before, but this guy reminds me a lot of myself. In fact, he's essentially just the supervillain version of me. Both him and I had fathers that were well respected members of our organizations that we replaced when they died. The difference is that I do what I do for other people's sake, he does what he does for his own sake. Maybe it's the similarities between us that make me want to deck him in his stupid blond face. Is that unprofessional to say in one of these? Either way, if we ever meet in the field, I'm definitely not gonna think twice before going for him. And if he's ever arrested before I get the chance, I think I'll try and interrogate him because, honestly, I just want to know what a conversation between him and me would be like."

Yujiro Hanma



 * Real Name: Yuujirou Hanma (範馬 勇次郎, Hanma Yūjirō)
 * Occupation: Freelancer mercenary and assassin
 * Nationality: Japanese
 * Age: 37
 * Height: 6'5"
 * Weight: 265 lbs
 * Eyes: Red
 * Hair: Red
 * Sex: Male
 * Species: Human
 * Affiliation: Independent
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Semi-Major
 * Powers and Abilities: While he technically has no superpowers, Yujiro Hanma's physical abilities far outstrips those of a normal human, allowing him to perform ludicrous superhuman feats of strength. He is also an adept tactician and master martial artist, as his fallen foes can attest to.

When he was a teenager, Yujiro Hanma fought in the Vietnam War against the forces of the United States, who found themselves overwhelmed by his baffling borderline superhuman physical prowess. After the end of the war, Yujiro Hanma was contracted by the United States to handle certain threats that even their operatives could not reach, being paid handsomely for his services. After his contract expired, Yujiro roams the world as a mercenary who lends his services to anyone who is able to satisfy his lust for battle. By this point, Yujiro has been deemed the strongest human alive, possessing phenomenal strength while not being explicitly superhuman himself, compared to the many enhanced beings that now prowl the world. Nowadays, rumors have it that he is preparing for a confrontation with one of his sons, who he has groomed to finally defeat him and take his place as the world's strongest man.

While Yujiro's source of immense physical attributes is poorly understood, their potency combined with the man's sheer brutality, skill, and savage intellect makes Yujiro a dangerous combatant for anyone to face, regardless of their own powers. He has stopped earthquakes with a mere punch to the ground, survived getting struck by lightning without any apparent damage, killed a titanic mutant elephant with a single blow, moved so fast he was mistaken for teleporting, survived falling out of a tall skyscraper, and more. These are but glimpses to his many accomplishments through strength, and there's no telling if there's more to his power than meets the eye. "It's quite an ego for a man even of Mr. Hanma's own abilities to proclaim himself the strongest human in the world. Though, I guess he wasn't the one who dubbed himself so. Regardless, I am quite interested in the origins of his powers, which I believe he once proclaimed to have hailed from his own prestigious bloodline. If I could gain access to his genetic material, my Reanimen would become far more effective! Besides, how hard would it be for Director Stedman to contract him for this, anyway? And no, I don't want his sons' genetic material. Yujiro's DNA must have possessed a purer strain of the gene that grants them their phenomenal physicality. He may not be the strongest being on Earth, but if we could grant his power to the Reanimen, then we wouldn't be so concerned with our growing superuman problem. Just think about it! A thousand Yujiro Hanmas under our control! No one would dare to threaten us ever again!"

The Fraternity

 * Leader(s): The Professor, Mr. Rictus, The Emperor, Adam-One, The Future
 * Membership: The Killer (II), The Fox, Doll-Maker, Fuckwit, Sucker, Imp, Shithead, Deadly Nightshade, Puzzler, Johnny Two-Dicks, Frightener, The Avian, possibly other members
 * Former Members: The Killer (I), Nemesis
 * GDA Threat Ranking: Urgent

The group that would eventually become known as The Fraternity was founded in the late 1980s. After constantly being beaten down by superheroes and realizing the reason was that the heroes had unionized, constantly getting in talks with each other and forming superhero teams while the supervillain community at most had a hand-full of team-ups. Realizing this, the five biggest supervillains in the world at the time teamed up and rounded up as many villains as they could, forming a secret army of supervillains that would act in a similar way as hero teams such as the Union of Justice or the Guardians of the Globe. Between them, each one got a different continent to be the "ruler" of. The Emperor got Asia, Adam-One got Africa, Mr. Rictus got Australia (and is constantly complaining about it), The Future got Europe, and The Professor got both North and South America, believing he should get special treatment for being the one to have originally came up with the idea. Since then, The Fraternity has been a constant pain in the sides of the superhero community.

"From the limited interactions I've had with their members, the Fraternity only have two rules. One, no killing other Fraternity members and, two, no revealing the location of any Fraternity bases. Other than that, they're allowed to do whatever they want. So far, none of their heads have been busted, and that seems to be inflating their ranks' egos, with them going bigger and bigger with each scheme. Which sounds horrible, but all it'll take is for that cockiness to get to one of their leaders. Trust me when I say that the bigger someone's head is, the more likely they are to not consider the little things. They're gonna slip up one of these days and when that day comes, it'll be bye-bye Fraternity."
