The Parahuman Brigade

"'Qui vicerit possidebit haec.' (Revelation 21:7; The Latin Vulgate)"The Parahuman Brigade is a special operations force within the United States military dedicated to quickly and decisively winning wars. Comprised of around twenty-five S-Class Parahumans, they are feared throughout the world and paraded as heroes back home. Since their creation, they have liberated Vietnam, Korea, China, the Balkans and many other ex-communist countries. Since the September 11 attacks in 2001, their mission has changed to combating terrorism abroad.

The custom of Heroes adopting pseudonyms originates with the nicknames given to the original Parahuman Brigade, although they do not continue this practise any longer.
