1. #1SDN

   Keys: SDN, Superhero Dispatch Network, SDN-T, Torrance, Los Angeles

   Superhero Dispatch Network, abbreviated as SDN, is an organization that utilizes heroes and reformed villains to help fight crime for subscribers within Torrance. SDN, the Superhero Dispatch Network, is a superhero dispatch center. It has over 300 heroes in its ranks (likely operating around 40 teams).

   The Torrance branch is located in City of Torrance, County of Los Angeles. Its motto seems to be three ‘D’s’: dispatching, documentation, diversity. At any given time, SDN-T has between 45 and 50 heroes (roughly six teams) working different shifts (likely two teams per shift). Employees include: Phenomaman, Blonde Blazer, Chase, Galen an emergency dispatcher, Lana the mail room clerk, Royd the lead engineer, Mr. Whiskey the mascot.

   SDN follows what's known as the 3 D's: Dispatching, Documentation, and Diversity. Likely unknown to many of their subscribers, SDN has access to subscribers' security cameras as per the fine print when they sign up for the service. SDN then utilizes this to help get eyes on the ground for when dispatched heroes need more assistance.

2. #2Z-Team

   Keys: Z-Team, The Phoenix Program, Phoenix Program

   The Z-Team is manned by Phoenix Program, a group of ex-supervillains. Robert is in charge of rehabilitating. The whole program is currently at risk of being scrapped due to lack of improvement — for a few months, their ranking hasn't been increasing at all. Its roster: Sonar the batboy conman, Flambae (controls fire and flame), Invisigal ("Visi") aka Invisibitch, Coupé, a merciless, ghostlike assassin, Punch Up the carnival strongman, Malevola ("Mal") the devil from down under, Golem the sentient construct of clay and stone, Prism the trick of the light

   When it comes to the Z-Team's dispatchers, most people don’t make it past their first shift. In some cases, members of the Z-Team might've expedited this, seemingly unaware of what this might mean for the program and them personally (scrapping the program and them ending up incarcerated again as a result).

   The Phoenix Program is run by the Superhero Dispatch Network where ex-supervillains sign up to help out SDN subscribers.

   At SDN, 8 former villains were chosen from those who signed up and placed on the Z-Team. However, owing to the team's less than welcoming approach to every dispatcher assigned to them, such as Flambae setting one dispatcher's car on fire, they tend to quit in droves. As a result of this and less than optimal results, the program is on the verge of being shutdown.

    Beware the Silly Ones: Though their antics might make them appear harmless, if slightly obnoxious, at first, the fact remains that they are former villains and several of them have assaulted, kidnapped and even killed people before being put behind bars.
   Boxed Crook: Nearly everyone in Z-Team is a former supervillain, and service through SDN is on offer instead of a prison sentence.
   The Dreaded: Chase tells Robert that no dispatcher assigned to them has lasted more than at most a day.
   Dumb Muscle: As shown by their stats, Punch-Up, Flambae, and Golem are lacking in the brains department, but have solid combative stats.
   Dysfunction Junction: Aside from being "reformed" criminals, each of them also has some form of hang-up that can and will screw over the mission if Robert isn't careful.
   Establishing Character Moment: After hearing Robert's full name, they all immediately crack up and start playing off each other to mock it. This establishes them instantly as not respecting him at all, extremely insubordinate, and immature, but also witty and friendly with each other.
   Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: A very colorful group of people with their own hang-ups and quirks. The only thing they have in common is a criminal history.
   Recruiting the Criminal: All of them have a criminal record, ranging from assault, to arson, to murder. Blonde Blazer clarifies that most of the members joined the Phoenix Program to escape their sentences.
   

3. #3Sonar

   Keys: Sonar, bat, harvard

   Species: Hybrid Birthplace: San Francisco, California, USA Age: 32 Name: Victor Height: 6′ 0″ (183 cm) Affiliation: SDN-T Occupation: Hero Bio: Transforms into a giant bat. Highly intelligent. Addicted to a variety of controlled substances. Crimes: Embezzlement, extortion, drug possession, forgery, fraud, money laundering, perjury, cyberbullying Hair color: Gray Eye color: White

   Powers: Instincts Abilities: Bat Physiology, Flight Relationships: Malevola (his NA sponsor)

   Described as highly intelligent, Sonar is a cunning, arrogant man.

   Sonar fails to understand jokes, in the Demo, Robert Robertson introduces himself just for his team to laugh at his name, which Sonar starts repeating "Robert Robertson" to attempt to comprehend what's funny about Robert's full name.

   He shows remarkable talent in white collar crimes. Business oriented, he’s eager to network with Vanderstenk on his ideas for ‘human meat alternatives,’ and says that ‘[he] can never have too many soft skills’ when levelled up.

   He also has an elitist side, having cyberbullied others, calling himself a ‘high ranking Vanderstenker,’ and frequently boasting that he’s a Harvard graduate. When faced with his own failures, he makes excuses for ‘not trying that hard.’

   Sonar has a human body, but the head of a bat with sharp fangs and big ears. He has pure white eyes, and wears a navy-blue suit with a red tie and black dress pants. When transformed, his eyes turn red and grows in height, his body growing more bulky physique. His arms transform into bat wings. He has fluffy grey fur and pink snout. Sonar has a human body, but the head of a bat with sharp fangs and big ears. He has pure white eyes, and wears a navy blue suit with a red tie and black dress pants. However, when transformed his eyes turn pitch red. He has fluffy gray fur and a pink snout.

   Sonar transforms after returning from a call. His Intellect swaps with Combat and his Charisma swaps with Vigour until the next call.

   Relationships: Robert Robertson (Mecha Man): Dispatcher and hero. Sonar is bemused and fascinated with his name, repeating different variations on it on-call when he introduces himself. He’s grateful to Robert if his request to meet Vanderstenk is granted and seeks him out for support when he gets nervous on the mission. As Mecha Man, Sonar mocks Flambae for losing to 'just a guy.' he shows indifference to Robert getting punched by Invisigal, asking if Robert if he’s going to eat his crushed twinkies.

   Malevola: Friends and co-heroes. As his NA sponsor, Malevola helps him with controlling his monster form. When dispatched together, he shows excitement at the prospect, saying they should ‘fuck shit up,’ to her agreement. She acts as the voice of reason to him, pointing out that Vanderstenk needs protection from his fans when Sonar requests to go, interested in networking with him.

   Danny Diaz claims Sonar got arrested for tax evasion, which Sonar wishes was true. He refers to Twinkies as ‘twinks.’ Sonar loves Twinkies. He's a Phoenix Program participant and one of the heroes that can be dispatched.

   Bat Physiology: While Sonar possesses bat-like features in his default state, he transform further into a giant, monstrous bat, though he is unable to control when. He also transforms automatically after coming from a mission, but surprisingly retains his sanity when in that form.
   Flight: Gaining wings in his bat monster form, Sonar becomes capable of flight.
   

   Sonar attended and graduated from Harvard University (and won't shut up about it according to other colleagues).

4. #4Flambae

   Keys: Flambae

   Species: Human Birthplace: Herat, Herat, Afghanistan Age: 36 Name: Chad Height: 6′ 4″ (193 cm) Affiliation: SDN-T Occupation: Hero Bio: Anger issues. Unsurprising history of Arson. Designed his own suit. Crimes: Arson, assault, vandalism Abilities: Pyrokinesis, Flame Invulnerability, Pyro-Propulsion Hair color: Brown Eye color: Orange

   He's a Phoenix Program participant and one of the heroes that can be dispatched. Controls the fire and the flame and his skin does not burn.

   Pyrokinesis: Flambae can manipulate fire to his will.
   Flame Invulnerability: Flambae is invulnerable to fire.
   Pyro-Propulsion: Flambae can jump high or fly with his pyro-propulsion ability.
   

   Flambae, much like the powers he wield, is a hot-head described with a case of bad temper. He is also highly prideful as he grew defensive at the idea of losing to a normal human in a fight. Unsurprisingly he is a pyromaniac and ignites object as a stress relief.

   Flambae appears as a tall and fit man with dark brown hair tied into a ponytail, with a single strand of hair dangling across his forehead. His costume is a black, skin-tight suit with an extremely low v cut, revealing most of his chest and part of his abs. He has flame motifs around the v cut, hands, and legs.

   Flambae fought against Mecha Man some time. During his career as a criminal, he had a run-in with Mecha Man. Prior to Robert Robertson being assigned to the Z-Team, he was responsible for driving the dispatcher preceding him to quit in two days by setting his Kia Soul on fire. He also fought with Mecha Man at a bar, seemingly unaware of his true identity, and lost against him. In the same altercation, he trips and breaks one of his front teeth on a bar surface. On Robert’s first shift at the SDN, Flambae sets fire to a nearby park after being mocked by his team for losing against him, forcing Robert to resolve it.

   Flambae is a short-tempered, rude, and egotistical man with anger issues. When mocked by the team for losing against ‘just a guy’ (Mecha Man), Flambae angrily defends himself and goes rogue to set a park on fire. He also takes pride in driving his last dispatcher to quit in two days. As a serial arsonist, he also comments that a juvenile pickpocket should 'pick up arson instead' when dispatched on the mission for it. He wonders aloud if art is flammable, if dispatched to the museum. He's confrontational, picking a fight with Robert at Crypto Night and attempts to assault him. In the trailer, he mocks Robert and says he should accept that he isn't a hero anymore, needing to support 'actual ones' like him at his desk, before telling him to get off of 'his' workout bench, despite a vacant one being available. When confronted with his mistakes, Flambae is dismissive of his role in them, lying about starting a fire, and refusing Robert’s orders to ‘clean [his] mess.’ Flambae is notably vain, having designed his own hero suit, implies that he admires himself in the mirror, and admits to wanting to set a tree on fire, saying they aren’t better than him, showing a petty side and implied self-esteem issues. When dispatched together with Prism, he asks her how his hair looks, and that others shouldn’t mess with ‘perfection.’ He has a habit of rambling, saying ‘brace yourselves, bitches’ and quickly amends that he ‘doesn’t see gender.’ When trying to give his ETA on a call, he describes pulling up Google maps before giving up, saying ‘he’ll be there.’

   Flambae is a tall, well-built man with broad shoulders and long legs. He has long black hair tied in a ponytail, reaching down to the middle of his shoulder blades, and a strand of hair left free to frame his face. He has a 5 o’clock shadow beard with thicker sideburns and unshaven chest hair. He has orange irises. As a hero, his suit is primarily black and has a plunging V-neck that reaches down to his navel, with a fire pattern tracing its collar, splaying across his shoulders and arms. His cuffs and boots are orange, and is seen wearing visor sunglasses with a black frame and fiery gradient for its lens.

   He calls Danny Diaz a bitch for saying he has chapped lips, resulting in him failing to get a date for a week.

   Relationships: Robert Robertson (Mecha Man): Antagonistic. Flambae mocks Robert when he introduces himself to the Z-Team, calling him a bitch and insincerely asking if he’s stuttering on his first day.He’s angry about his loss against Robert, the topic becoming a sore spot for him, calling Mecha Man a ‘little shit.’ Robert confronts him for burning down a park and tells him he ‘doesn’t have time for his bullshit,’ which Flambae unapologetically dismisses.At the Crypto Night bar, Robert sarcastically responds to a confrontational Flambae’s introduction by calling him a mocking name, such as ‘Mr. Wet Ponytail,’ ‘Dr. Don’t Do Shit,’ or ‘Sunglasses at Night Guy.’ Flambae attempts to start a fight, but trips and smashes his own tooth, leaving Robert unimpressed.Flambae antagonises Robert, telling him to accept he's out of his prime, and that he should stay a dispatcher to help 'actual heroes.' He also condescendingly pats Robert's head and tells him to get off his workout bench in a gym room with a vacant one next to him.

   Prism: Friends and co-heroes. The two have a supportive and friendly relationship, with Prism fondly calling him ‘hottie’ and referring to the both of them as ‘bad bitches.’ Flambae values her opinion of him, asking how his hair looks when they are dispatched together, with her calling it ‘perfect as always.’

5. #5Invisigal

   Keys: Invisigal, Invisibitch

   Species: Human Gender: Female Height: 5'6 Name: Courtney Hair color: Brown Eye color: Brown Aliases: Invisibitch (Formerly) Thief and Loner Age: 27 Height: 5'6 Abilities: Invisibility, Hand-to-Hand Combat Birthplace: Los Angeles, CA Bio: Can becoming invisible at will, but only when holding her breath.

   She is very confident and sassy, not afraid to speak her mind and fight back if needed. Described as aloof and abrasive, Invisigal is a tough, independent loner. As a hero, she’s occasionally pleasantly shocked and relieved over her successes, wondering aloud if she ‘did that right’ and remarking that a successful mission ‘was great.’ She’s implied to care more about her performance than she admits, notably upset when saying that ‘[she] doesn’t care’ after failing a mission, and sincerely commenting that helping people ‘feels nice,’ before deflecting it by saying ‘as long as [she] gets paid for it.’ Invisigal also displays a willful streak, refusing to be dissuaded from being dispatched to Granny’s Donuts, wanting to get unbanned by saving them. She supports aspiring criminals, giving a young pickpocketer pointers for next time, misunderstanding an order to give him a pep talk. Snarky and sassy, Invisigal is quite aggressive in the way she talks and is easily irritable, lashing out on her co-workers. This is especially evident in when she is seen roughing up and shouting at Rob. She is one of the first people of Z-team to make fun of Robert's name and makes multiple sex jokes. She is also slightly perverted, making lewd remarks about Rob's injuries.

   Invisigal is a woman with dark purple, short hair and dark brown eyes. She wears a pink cropped jacket with a black, cropped shirt, as well as black capris pants.

   Relationships: Robert Robertson (Mecha Man): Dispatcher and hero. Invisigal has met Robert prior to his first shift and is disrespectful towards him, mentioning to the team that she saw him in his underwear, and expresses interest in his being covered in bruises.She often makes suggestive comments towards him, asking if he’s ’creaming over’ her successes, and that she can make no promises when ordered to quietly extract paintings from thieves; saying ‘[she’s] a screamer.’. She’s hostile towards him. She insults and punches him, looking down on him for ‘playing video games with his daddy’s suit,’ seeing him as a worthless hero without his Mecha Man suit.

   Golem: Friends and co-heroes. Invisigal is playful and teasing towards him, lightheartedly calling him ‘slowpoke,’ and is implied to occasionally use her powers to sneak around him, relenting when he asks that she doesn't disappear on him.She expresses interest in his personal life, asking if he’s still on dating apps, and remarking he does better in person when he isn’t.

   Probably has a dark lonely past that made her turn into her past crime path.

6. #6Coupé

   Keys: Coupé

   Species: Human Birthplace: Unknown Age: Unknown Name: Janelle Height: 5′ 10″ (178 cm) Affiliation: SDN-T Occupation: Hero Bio: Mysterious, deadly, and unapproachable.

   She's a Phoenix Program participant and one of the heroes that can be dispatched.

   Coupé has short, black hair and yellow eyes. She wears a black, form fitting outfit with silver details and a silver domino mask. She has matching knee high silver, armored boots and her arms likewise have some armor covering her shoulders and the outside part of her arms, down to the back of her hands. Her suit includes black and silver mechanical wings and she keeps some of her daggers stored behind each shoulder, with the blades jutting outward.

   Coupé is a French ballet term that means "to cut", a step where the working foot displaces the supporting foot, either in front or behind, usually touching the ankle or the other foot's instep.

   An assassin for the mob who went independent.

   Described as cold and merciless, Coupé is a mysterious and efficient assassin.

   She takes pride in her abilities, cursing herself and asking what ‘all of [her] training was for’ when failing a mission, and seeing a retrieval of a child’s balloon as beneath her. Similarly, she expects her missions to be difficult, expressing confusion when remarking it was ‘easier than [she] thought it’d be,’ and occasionally showing interest that she’ll finally be dealing with ‘criminals with class.’

   Coupé is implied to have a background in ballet, naming herself after a French ballet term meaning 'to cut,' and her starting ability following in a similar fashion.

   She exhibits some interest in poetic wordplay, calling herself ‘graceful, but deadly,’ and ‘swift as the night, sharp as my knife,’ when dispatched. She displays dry humour, saying she can ‘take a stab at’ a mission, and clarifies she was trying to make a joke.

   Coupé expresses great affinity for knives, frequently referring to their care and wellbeing when dispatched, on one occasion thanking Robert for giving them a chance for fresh air. Similarly, she's audibly livid when contacting Blonde Blazer about the issue of her confiscated office knives, saying she registered them as emotional support knives. She also admits to recently taking up sewing, enjoying the various fabrics and stabbing motions accompanying the hobby. When accompanied by a hero, she articulates the differences between ‘a cut, a dice, and a mince,’ asking them to hold out their hand for her to demonstrate.

   Coupé is a tall, dark-skinned woman with short, straight black hair slicked back into a neat bob. She has yellow eyes and mascara running down her cheeks from her eyes, and wears dark lipstick.

   As a Phoenix, she wears a black, slim catsuit with a V neck collar, slim, silver pauldrons on her upper biceps, and metallic accents framing her body: with similarly designed wings at her back. She wears a metallic domino mask that reaches to the sides of her head, ending with four pointed spikes.

   When she was younger, she had longer hair and wore a tutu.

   Relationships Robert Robertson (Mecha Man): Dispatcher and hero. Coupé alternates between being disrespectful and professional towards him, calling him ‘emo’ when he repeats the request to clear the channel, and expressing her dissatisfaction over him using her skills to retrieve a child’s balloon. When Robert asks what she would be more suited for, she responds 'off the books assassination,' which Robert distrustfully responds that '[he] will keep it in mind.' Coupe retains a mostly respectful attitude on-call otherwise, being pleased with Robert’s confidence in her when dispatched. It’s implied she’s amused by his name, occasionally saying his full name on-call. Blonde Blazer: Boss and employee. On the official SDN phone number, Coupe leaves a message on Blonde Blazer's voicemail regarding the issue of her confiscated office knives. While keeping her language respectful and professional, saying that while she understands the SDN's strict weapons policy, she claims that she registered them as emotional support knives, and is audibly angered by the development. She then asks for her to call her back at her earliest convenience before ending the voice message. Punch Up: Friends and co-heroes. Coupé calls him a gentleman and lightheartedly instructs him not to fall behind if dispatched together. She’s occasionally playful with him, responding to his quips with her own, and asking if he got shorter when asked if she ‘got scarier.' She greets him as 'Knuckles,' with him responding 'Knives' in kind.The two are comfortable teasing each other for their failures. She shows some dismay over him finding out about her failing a mission, noting that he would ‘tease [her] for weeks’ about it; similarly, Punch Up says he’d ’never live it down’ if she knew about one of his mishaps.

7. #7Punch Up

   Keys: Punch Up

   Species: Human Birthplace: Galway, Ireland Age: 43 Name: Colm Height: 3′ 3″ (99 cm) Affiliation: SDN-T Occupation: Hero Hair color: Black Eye color: Green Aliases: Smallest Strongman Bio: Possesses the strength of ten men and half the height of one. Crimes: Battery, parole violation, public intoxication, second degree murder Abilities: Picnokinesis, Superhuman Strength & Durability, Pain Immunity

   Punch Up is a hero of the Z-Team, operating under the Phoenix program at the SDN.

   Carnival strong man who made a deal with a sorceress. She gave him the strength of ten men. His muscles grew, but his body shrunk, halving his height.

   Punch Up is a charming, if dimwitted man. He’s implied to be aware of his unintelligence, proudly remarking that he ‘knew how to use his head’ if he fails a mission. He’s not above laughing at himself, saying he’ll get to the site as fast as his ‘legs can get [him].’ He also asks the other heroes if 'cauliflower ear is an STD.'

   Origins: There is currently little known about Punch Up's past, only that he was once a carnival strong man who made a deal with a sorceress. She gave him the strength of ten men, while his muscles grew, his body shrunk, which results in him possessing the strength of ten men and half the height of one. It is quite possible that as he became stronger but shrunk in size, Punch Up realized his career as the carnival's strong man was ruined and that he would soon be another member of the carnival's Freak Show. Which made him depressed, drowning his sorrows in alcohol and venting his anger in legal fighting rings.

   Criminal Career: It is currently unknown how Punch Up got battery, parole violation, public intoxication, and second-degree murder charges. At some point, Coupé was sent to assassinate Punch Up for an unknown reason. But it safe to speculate that while being intoxicated Punch Up killed someone by accident and that this person had to be someone of importance, most likely a member of mafia, which made their assonates hired or send Coupé to assassinate Punch Up. Punch Up, who was watching Swan Lake while crying and eating a bucket of ice cream, because he couldn't find the remote to change the channel and was too depressed to get out of his chair to find it, noticed her as she came from behind to stab him. He commented on how it must be fate for her to be there, since her old costume was reminiscent of a ballerina. She attempted to stab him after this, but failed to, due to Punch Up's dense body structure. A fight ensued which eventually led to the two of them having intercourse. This led into a serious romantic relationship that continued until just before their participation in the Phoenix Program.

   He has a bloodthirsty side, lamenting that he hasn’t fought anyone the entire day, and is dismayed when he notes that he can’t punch a kid if dispatched on a call for one. When recalling a familiar street he used to fight in, he reminisces that he 'used to punch bums' there and sadly wonders if the best days are behind him.

   He’s implied to be an alcoholic, asking anyone for a ‘pint on the road’ if dispatched, and celebrating a successful mission by offering to cover the first round of drinks.

   He's not fond of museums, citing that there's 'too much shushing.'
   His old doctor is a veterinarian. Punch Up claims he has the 'physiognomy of a pygmy hippo,' which allowed him to be seen by them, saying '[we] made a fine pair.'
   He isn't fond of their old commute, calling it 'shite.'
   

   Relationships: Robert Robertson (Mecha Man): Dispatcher and hero. Punch Up has relative faith in Rob’s dispatching skills, betting he would quit Wednesday to the others’ earlier days- including Golem, who bets on the same day he started (Friday). As Mecha Man, he thinks he’s a ‘washed up robot boy without his robot, drinking alone.’

   Coupé: Friends and co-heroes. Punch Up is respectful towards her, though isn’t above making lighthearted jabs at her expense: asking if she got scarier when dispatched together and having teased her before for her mishaps.In return, Coupé is gentle and open with him, calling him ‘gentlemanly’ and responding to his quips with her own. She playfully warns him not to fall behind when dispatched together, with him responding to an affirmative.The two are comfortable with teasing the other for their failures. Punch Up warns Robert not to tell Coupé about a mission he failed, saying ‘[he’d] never live it down.’ Similarly, Coupé is dismayed at the thought of him knowing about her own failures, saying ‘he’ll tease [her] for weeks.’

   Flambae: Co-heroes. Punch Up is amused by Flambae’s loss against Robert, and brings it up to taunt him, much to his chagrin.

   Punch Up is a short, muscular man with short black hair, a mustache, and green eyes. He has a large tattoo on his left forearm.

   Powers: Picnokinesis: also known as Density Manipulation, is the ability to control the density of objects and people. Can make anything lighter or heavier by the wielder's powers. Superhuman Strength & Durability: Superhuman strength allows individuals to exert force and lift weights beyond what is physically possible for a regular human, while superhuman durability grants enhanced resilience to withstand physical harm and damage. Pain Immunity: immune to physical pain of any kind, being unable to feel any sorts of physical pain, allowing them to think clearly and continue to move without even flinching despite a grievous injury. But since Punch Up has Superhuman Durability, he may negate such physical damage.

8. #8Malevola

   Keys: Malevola

   Aliases: Mal, Devil from Down Under Species: Half-Demon Birthplace: Unknown Age: 33 Height: 6′ 6.6″ (200 cm) Affiliation: SDN-T Occupation: Hero Bio: Possesses a prehensile tail. Sonar's NA Sponsor. Atheist. True crime aficionado. Crimes: Assault, burglary, extortion, forgery, kidnapping, second degree murder Abilities: Demon Physiology, Portal Creation, Wound Transferal Hair color: Black Eye color: Yellow

   Malevola has a magic sword, and she creates portals that allow her to teleport. Malevola is a half-demon from Hell.

   Described as terrifying by Blonde Blazer, Malevola is conversely a down-to-earth, self-aware half-demon.

   She has an independent streak with little respect for procedure, purposefully showing up late to meetings, and is implied to use her portals to leave the room, refusing to get her mugshot taken.

   She enjoys gossip and playing into jokes, using common church phrases such as ‘confess your sins, cause I… really want the tea,’ and greeting citizens by calling herself their ‘lord and savior.’

   Malevola shows amusement in being feared, saying that ‘fear is the best teacher’ when dispatched to handle a juvenile pickpocket, and gleefully saying that people will ‘piss their pants when they see [her.]’ When commenting on first impressions, she quips that people judge her for her appearance, then judge her even more after getting to know her. Similarly, she’s aware that while she’s not to everyone’s taste, ‘too many’ people fetishise her.

   Despite this, she’s implied to be dissatisfied with being perceived unfavourably, expressing her enjoyment of being seen as a ‘benevolent devil,’ re-routing to avoid police and churches, saying ‘[she] doesn’t need that drama today,’ and sarcastically commenting that her favourite part of the job is ‘scaring children’ when ordered to scare one.

   In the trailer, she shows a bloodthirsty side, starting a fight between her and Invisigal and attempting to stab her. Malevola is a tall half-demon with yellow, pupilless eyes, red skin and long black hair. Her horns are dark grey, protruding from the sides of her head and curling inwards, pointing up in an H-shape.

   She wears a low-cut white tank top, yellow diamond shaped earrings, light blue jean shorts, and black heels.

   Her ex was conned into doing a tell-all by Danny Diaz.

   Relationships: Robert Robertson (Mecha Man): Dispatcher and hero. Beyond taking bets on him quitting on Monday, Malevola is relatively polite towards him, refusing to join in on his mockery on-call, and elaborates on Sonar’s condition when he asks what happened to him.As Mecha Man, she’s bemused that he’s ’just a guy’ when talking about Flambae’s loss against him.

   Sonar: Friends and co-heroes. Malevola is his NA sponsor, involved with helping him through his addiction and ability to shift between his forms.She acts more level-headedly when dispatched with him, advising him to ‘be cool’ when he shows excitement, and points out that Vanderstenk wants to avoid fans when Sonar asks to be his security detail.

   Invisigal: Co-heroes. The two are implied to have a hostile relationship, with Malevola attempting to stab her during a fight, and Invisigal attempting to trip her in the trailer.

   Malevola presents almost like a typical woman, but with red skin, a demon tail, and 2 large, demon horns protruding out of the sides of her head. She wears a white tank top with denim shorts and black high heels. She carries her weapon, a large broadsword, on her back.

9. #9Golem

   Keys: Golem

   Species: Sentient Construct Birthplace: Unknown Age: 20 Name: Bruno Height: 7′ 7″ (231 cm) Affiliation: SDN-T Occupation: Hero Bio: Large mass of clay and dirt. Enjoys poetry and basketball. Difficulty with squeezing through doors. Crimes: Aiding and abetting, disturbing the peace, vandalism Abilities: Morphological Being, Earth Mimicry, Regenerative Healing Invisigal: (a friend of his) Eye color: Yellow orange

   He is a Phoenix Program participant and one of the heroes that can be dispatched. Mud/dirt monster, huge. Peace loving mud giant, very tall but very chill. Golem is a construct; dirt and mud made sentient with magic.

   Golem is a mellow, levelheaded construct.

   He tends to speak informally, making a habit of calling other heroes ‘baby,’ and using slang such as ‘kobe’ and ‘that’s the gravy, baby’ when succeeding a mission. He practices being polite, trying to smile more but remarks that he doesn't have enough teeth for it, and resolving to try and not ruin anyone's carpet when dispatched.

   He has a proud side, boasting 'let's show these molehills a mountain' and 'someone order a mudslide?' Despite this, Golem admits to being dimwitted, saying he has rocks for brains. He mispronounces ‘humongous’ when angrily asking who called him ‘a humuncuous.’

   He occasionally makes excuses for his failures, blaming a failed mission on a headache for his subpar performance. Otherwise, he takes his failures in stride, saying ‘better luck next time.’

   Blonde Blazer thinks he’s lonely, a claim somewhat evidenced with him being on dating apps, and having dated a cliff side before, citing it didn’t work out. He enjoys rock climbers, saying that they're handsy.

   Golem is a towering construct of brown colour and varying size, changed by the amount of material he absorbs on a given day. He has a built torso and comparatively smaller lower half, having shorter legs and large arms and hands. Several debris are stuck in his body, including a large tire in his right bicep, and several unidentified pieces half-sunken in his back. Large pieces of rock are embedded in his arms and legs.

   He’s one of the few heroes that Danny Diaz hasn’t antagonised, being amused at the nickname ‘Bone Zone’ for the host.
   He's not opposed to eating garbage, asking anyone if they've seen any, saying he's starving.
   

   Relationships: Robert Robertson (Mecha Man): Dispatcher and hero. Golem doesn’t place much faith in Robert’s ability as a dispatcher, betting that he would quit on the same day as his first shift.Despite this, he carefully follows his orders to ‘stop, drop, and roll’ when dispatched to ‘Bigger Blaze in the Burbs,’ reciting it slowly to himself before following it through.

   Invisigal: Friends and co-heroes. Golem is amiable towards her, comfortably sharing the latest events in his life when dispatched together. He admits to taking a break from dating apps, to which Invisigal responds that he does better in person anyways. He's used to her using her powers, lightheartedly telling her not to disappear on him, to which she acquiesces with little complaint.

She is also one of the few Phoenixes who refuse to visit the topic of his loss against Mecha Man.In return, Flambae values her opinion, asking how his hair looks, and warns others not to mess with ‘perfection.’

    Prism has chin-length hair where the left half is hot pink and the right turquoise. While she has brown eyes, she wears a teal visor that partially conceals them. Her outfit consists of a black body suit with a thin gold line down the middle of it and around the base of her neck, with a single gold hoop where the lines meet.

    Species: Human Affiliation: SDN-T Occupation: Branch leader, Superhero Hair color: Blonde Eye color: Blue

    Blonde Blazer used to be an active superhero being dispatched on the streets, earning a reputation for herself as a courageous hero.

    In the SDN office, Blonde Blazer is shown to be friendly, welcoming and encouraging towards her subordinates and co-workers, something alluded to in the reveal trailer, and made more clear in the demo.

    She believes in the Phoenix Program with all her heart and does her best to keep it afloat despite the myriad of obstacles. She also truly sees the good in everyone, evidenced with her interactions with members of the Z-Team. Her sincerely wanting to give Robert at another shot at redemption in the superhero business also shows her faith in people.

    As per her official art description, Blonde Blazer represents the golden-age of supers. She's honorably courageous with a generous spirit and a strong dose of corporate-approved dorkiness. An old soul looking to keep the business of heroism feeling fresh and personal.

    Blonde Blazer, as her name suggests, is a blonde-haired young woman. She has a tall, leggy and athletic physique, being slightly taller than Robert.

    Blonde Blazer's superhero outfit consists of a few components - a grey skintight bodysuit with a blue sleeveless leotard over as an outer layer, navy elbow-length gloves and knee-high boots. She also wears a short yellow waist-length cape with a red jewel on her chest, and a blue upper-face mask with holes cut out for her eyes.

    Sometime before Robert Robertson's employment, Blonde Blazer had reformed and redesigned the struggling SDN-T branch into its current state, having first arrived at its filthy, rat-infested offices, including the metaphorically 'leaderless' state of its workplace environment.

    After Mecha Man's retirement, she approaches Robert Robertson with an offer of employment at the SDN as a dispatcher for its Phoenix Program.

    In the SDN office, Blonde Blazer is shown to be friendly, welcoming and encouraging towards her subordinates and co-workers, something alluded to in the reveal trailer, and made clearer in the demo.

    Idealistic, she is insistent on her faith in the Phoenix Program, reluctantly admitting it being at risk of shutting down is results fail to show for it. She’s also described to have a hero complex, sincerely extending an offer of employment to a depressed Robert, comforting him, and saying she believes there is more he can still offer as a person. As the implied branch manager at the SDN, the staff respect her as an authority figure, with one quietly passing along a document for her to sign without interrupting her giving orientation to Robert.

    Despite this, she’s shown to be capable of some thoughtlessness, committing a faux pas of trying to demonstrate the SDN’s value of diversity by using Galen as an example, failing to remember he was from Florida until he answered. She also instructs Robert to take off his clothes while distracted in finding him an SDN uniform, seemingly unaware of the suggestiveness of the line.

12. #12Robert Robertson

    Keys: Robert Robertson, Mecha Man

    Aliases: Robert, Robbie, Bobby Species: Human Birthplace: Unknown Age: 26 Height: Unknown Affiliation: SDN-T Occupation: Dispatcher Skills: Hacking Aliases: Mecha Man, Nerd (Invisigal) Relatives: Unnamed father (deceased) Occupation: SDN dispatcher, Superhero (formerly) Gender: Male Hair color: Brown Eye color: Brown

    Robert's father was the original Mecha Man and who made the original mech suit. However, after his death, Robert Robertson inherited his father's suit and became the new Mecha Man, a superhero despite his lack of real superpowers. Eventually, it was said that he is familiar with Flambae and heavily dislikes him.

    At one point, while Mecha Man was doing a job, he had to deal with a supervillain called Shroud. While he managed to survive the ordeal with just a broken arm, he fell into a coma for months and his father's suit was destroyed in the fight. Having no other way to recreate one, he then announced on the news that he would retire from being a superhero altogether.

    While sitting atop the Hollywood sign, Blonde Blazer offers him a job to get his life back on track. This leads to Robert joining the Superhero Dispatch Network (SDN) as a dispatcher for "Z-Team", a team consisting of the Phoenix Program participants: ex-supervillains who signed on to help out around the city.

    On his first day, Blazer gives Robert a tour of the building and introduces some of his co-workers, notably Chase, who'd been a superhero and an old friend of Robert's father but was initially unrecognizable due to his power inadvertently aging him.

    As Robert introduces himself to his misfit team, he is quickly mocked by all the members for his name, who soon reveal most dispatchers for their team don't last more than a few days at most.

    Robert is a man with short brown hair, brown eyes, and freckles across his face. Part of the top of his right ear is missing and he has a couple scars across his body.

    His work uniform consists of a blue polo shirt with the SDN logo above the pocket on his left chest, dark gray slacks, and brown shoes. He tends to roll up the sleeves and leaves his shirt partially untucked.

    Hacking: Robert Robertson has showed skills in hijacking and fixing a broken bidet, and being able to disable the sensors of an art museum, and subsequently fixing it.
    Robotics: Robert Robertson has enough technical knowledge to repair his own suit if it's not completly destroyed.
    Super Strength(Mecha Man): Mecha Man can easly fight against super powered villains with his suit.
    Immense Durability(Mecha Man): Mecha Man can withsand against immense conditions.
    

    Weakness: Fire - Mecha Man's suit destroyed against a fire based villain.

    Robert is the former superhero Mecha Man and is currently a dispatcher at the SDN.

    Robert’s father, the original Mecha Man, had designed its suit. Following his death, Robert took up the mantle and became the next Mecha Man. Sometime in his career, he has a run-in with Flambae.

    Sometime into his hero career, his nemesis Shroud lures him into a trap, destroying the Mecha Man suit and leaving him in a coma for months. Following his public interview announcing his retirement, Blonde Blazer contacts him with an offer to join the SDN as a dispatcher in exchange for repairing his suit, which he accepts.

    On his first day as a dispatcher, Blonde Blazer shows him around the Torrance branch. He becomes acquainted with Royd in the bathroom, who introduces himself to him, informing Robert that he was responsible for picking up his suit for the SDN, knowing his identity as Mecha Man. He's aggressively greeted and hugged by Chase, whom Robert doesn't recognize until he demonstrates an old move as the former superhero Track Star, with Robert hugging him back in elation. Robert also asks why 'he looks like black Einstein,' and is informed of the nature of Chase's powers before Chase inducts him on the Z-Team.

    After formally introducing himself to the Z-Team with his full name, he's laughed at and mocked by them, with Prism amusedly asking if that's his real name. Struggling to order the peace with their gossip and insults, Chase intervenes and tells them to 'shut the fuck up', threatening to have them reincarcerated again. With the team settled, Robert proceeds to dispatch them to various calls.

    Invisigal dispatches herself to Granny's Donuts, saying she needs to get unbanned, and refuses to be taken off-call. On-site, she asks for Robert to get involved for a 'tap in,' to which he responds.

    Robert is a witty and somewhat sarcastic man, prone to teasing others on occasion with his remarks and observations. When recognized as Mecha Man by a stranger who thought he was dead, he deadpans 'just on the inside.'

    He also attempts to mostly remain polite, accepting a hug from Chase, whom he didn't recognize before pulling him off, and can fist bump Royd in greeting when he introduces himself in the bathroom despite his annoyance and disgust, with Robert apologizing for his remark on Royd's name when he expresses hurt over it.

    As a dispatcher, he maintains a professional persona: formally introducing himself with his full name, giving orders to the team, and politely asking them to clear the channel after they mock him repeatedly, clogging communications with their banter.

    Despite this, he’s prone to annoyance and swearing, showing frustration with Flambae when he sets fire to a park and warns him to ‘stop fucking around,' saying he has enough problems already. He has a ruthless side, and is not shy to use intimidation as a solution, ordering either Malevola or Sonar to scare a juvenile pickpocket straight. In the trailer, he also voices his willingness to kill his nemesis, Shroud.

    Robert has short, brunet hair and dark brown eyes. He has a few freckles on his cheeks, and part of his right ear is missing. He has several scars on his torso.

    In his SDN uniform, he wears a light blue, long sleeved button up that's left partially untucked on his right side, with its sleeves folded up just above his elbows. He wears black pants and dark brown shoes.

    Skills: Hacking: Robert shows proficient skill with hacking into different technological systems, such as turning off a malfunctioning bidet, and disabling the sensors at an art museum undergoing a robbery, aiding in the exhibits' security by re-activating their defenses. Engineering: Robert has some engineering skills, being seen working on a mostly intact Mecha Man suit in the trailer, and is implied to be the one welding its parts together in a comic panel preview.

    Relationships Beef: Owner. In the trailer, Robert introduces Beef to Blonde Blazer with the above quote using a 'meth puppet' voice and can be seen carrying him.

    Blonde Blazer: Manager and employee, friends. Robert is friendly towards her and isn’t above teasing her for being corny. Blonde Blazer reciprocates this, and playfully calls him a ‘dick’ in response to the latter.Blonde Blazer is comfortable with showing physical affection to him, squeezing his arm before leaving him to work. She believes that he 'has a lot left to give' when meeting him during his retirement.

    Chase (Track Star): Old friends. Robert is uncomfortable and confused when Chase affectionately insults and hugs him, pulling him off and asking who he is. When Chase demonstrates a signature move as a former hero, Robert is elated and hugs him back, earning a playful scolding from the man, asking why ‘[he’s] accepting hugs from old men [he] doesn’t know.’Robert can express his sympathies over Chase’s powers, and laughs over him joking about killing his father again to get his powers back, reassuring Blonde Blazer that he’s always been like this when she gets offended.Chase offers guidance and advice for him, disapproving of Robert's interest in killing Shroud, warning him to be careful and seek out other answers to his problems.

    Flambae: Dispatcher and hero. The two have an antagonistic relationship, with Robert admitting they had a run-in with each other years ago, as well as fighting at a bar prior to him commencing work as a dispatcher.Robert shows satisfaction over winning against Flambae, saying ‘[he] might’ve heard of that’ when the Z-team gossips about Flambae’s loss, leading to Flambae angrily telling him ‘It didn’t happen, Bob Bob’ and calling Mecha Man a ‘little shit,’ seemingly unaware of Robert’s hero identity. When Flambae sets a park on fire, Robert confronts him, growing frustrated with his repeated denials and warning him not to act out, which Flambae unapologetically dismisses. Flambae antagonises Robert, telling him to accept he's out of his prime, and that he should stay a dispatcher to help 'actual heroes.' He condescendingly pats his head and tells him to get off his workout bench in a gym room with a vacant one next to him.

    Invisigal: Dispatcher and hero. Invisigal was introduced to Robert prior to his first shift, leaving her unimpressed at knowing her new dispatcher has 'a dad bod superhero with no superpowers,' sarcastically saying she can't wait. On his first shift, Invisigal is disrespectful towards him, saying she saw him in his underwear to the Z-Team, and admitting that while he isn't well endowed, she's interested in the numerous bruises on his body. She often makes suggestive comments towards him, asking if he’s ’creaming over’ her successes, and that she can make no promises when ordered to quietly extract paintings from thieves; saying ‘[she’s] a screamer.’She’s hostile towards him. She insults and punches him, looking down on him for ‘playing video games with his daddy’s suit,’ seeing him as a worthless hero without his Mecha Man suit, as well as claiming that real heroes put their lives on the line.

    Royd: Acquainted. Robert shows some disgust at his unhygienic practices, but remains relatively polite by fist-bumping him, or showing his wariness before silently rejecting the offer.Robert teases him on his name and apologizes when Royd sadly wonders if his coworkers call him by the nickname due to a play on steroids, either choosing to spare his feelings by saying he’s joking around, or admitting it might not be a coincidence before apologizing to him. Shroud: Nemeses. Shroud had destroyed the Mecha Man suit and had put him in a coma for months, forcing him into retirement. Robert expresses his interest in killing them to 'rot the hive' and take down the Red Ring, which they are implied to lead.

    Sonar: Dispatcher and hero. Sonar is grateful to him for letting him meet Vanderstenk, which Robert immediately regrets upon hearing his thanks and assurance that he won’t regret it.Robert provides moral support and guidance for Sonar when he gets nervous upon meeting Vanderstenk, assuring him that 'being himself' goes a long way, or orienting him by advising he tells a story to 'make [Sonar's pitch] relatable.'

13. #13Chase

    Keys: Chase, Track Star

    Chase, formerly known as the superhero Track Star, works as a SDN dispatcher.

    Aliases: Track Star Affiliation: SDN SDN dispatcher: Superhero (formerly) Gender: Male Hair color: White Eye color: Brown Species: Human Age39 Affiliation: SDN-T Occupation: Dispatcher Bio: Can move fifty times faster than the average person, but ages fifty times faster when using powers. Abilities: Speedster

    Chase operated under the moniker Track Star, working as a hero. He was unaware of the drawbacks of his powers, and ultimately retired from being a hero when he realised that he couldn’t use them anymore without risking his health.

    He currently works at the Torrance branch for the SDN.

    Chase is a crass and blunt man with little patience for nonsense. He swears liberally in his interactions, and playfully ribs people he’s close to, referring to them with different titles such as Robert being a ‘skinny latte prick’ and ‘freckle faced fuck.’

    While able to comfort others, Chase expresses a limited tolerance for emotional vulnerability on his end, expressing his disdain for being pitied if Robert offers his condolences for his powers, eventually saying he’s had enough of the ‘feelings crap’ before moving on. He freely admits to using dark humour to suppress trauma, a trait he shares with Robert when he jokes about killing his father again in exchange for being able to use his powers.

    He regrets his hero days, saying he was a chump for trying to help people. He agrees with Robert when he says his fate is cruel, asking what he’s done to deserve it, with Chase calling the drawbacks of his powers akin to a ‘war criminal level punishment.’

    Powers and Skills: Super Speed: Chase can move fifty times faster than the average human, with the drawback of aging fifty times faster when using his powers.

    Back when he was a superhero, Track Star was close friends with Robert's father. After Robert's father died though, Robert cut off ties with Track Star, likely owing to him having a hard time processing his father's death. In the years that followed, Track Star realized too late his power came at a grave cost: while he could move 50 times faster than the average person, it also aged him 50 times faster each time he used his ability.

    15 or so years after his friend's death, he now went by Chase and worked as a dispatcher at Superhero Dispatch Network. Owing to his power's side effect, he appeared as an elderly man though he was only 39 years old.

    Relationships: Robert Robertson (Mecha Man): Old friends. Chase had reached out to Robert when his father passed and expresses sympathy and understanding for him when he admits to being in a weird place at the time, having avoided Chase in the aftermath.Upon meeting him again a little over a decade later, Chase greets him with a hug, expressing faith in Robert by rhetorically asking if he’s here to ‘whip [the Z-Team] back into shape.’ When confronted with Robert’s confusion, he demonstrates his signature hero pose and teases him, asking why ‘[Robert] is accepting hugs from old men [he] doesn’t know.’ He also defends Robert on his first shift, intimidating the Z-Team into compliance by threatening to send them back to prison after they continually disrespected and talked over him.The two share a similar dark sense of humour, with Chase saying he’d ‘resurrect and re-kill [Robert’s] fuckin’ father in front of [him]’ if it meant being able to use his powers again, to Robert’s amusement. He responds that he’d at least let him have ‘one last I love you before [he] extinguishes the light from [Robert’s] eyes’ in response to Blazer’s offense.

    Blonde Blazer: Boss and employee. Chase disagrees with her vision of rehabilitating the Z-Team, saying they should’ve dismissed them months ago. Blonde Blazer admits that he may get his wish if the program continues to fail in delivering results.

14. #14Galen

    Keys: Galen, Florida Man

    Species: Human Birthplace: Florida, USA Affiliation: SDN-T Occupation: Emergency dispatcher Abilities: Super hearing Gender: Male Hair color: Dark brown Eye color: Brown

    He's from Florida and has super hearing, making it so he can hear even whispers across the office floor.

    Galen is a dispatcher at the SDN. When Robert signs in for his first shift, Galen occasionally reminds him that a Phoenix has an unspent skill point that he could use.

    Galen has a dry, deadpan, and weary personality. He prefers his privacy and dislikes assumptions: when being gossiped about by Blonde Blazer, he dryly cuts in on the conversations, disapproving of the act.

    He has a reputation around the office for an incident involving bath salts, which he defends by saying ‘that was one guy,’ implying someone suffered for it. As a dispatcher, he takes his job seriously and expects others to do the same, commenting that the SDN has encountered some apprehended thieves before on Robert’s shift, if they’ve been caught during a museum robbery.

    Galen wears a deep blue turban, a gold chain necklace, and rectangular glasses.

    His eyes are a deep black, with thick eyebrows. He has a long and similarly thick beard that’s neatly trimmed, with his moustache curled at the ends, framing his face.

    Super Hearing

    Galen was born with super-hearing, able to clearly hear a conversation about him occurring from across the room, including comments under a quieter pitch.

    Relationships: Blonde Blazer: Boss and employee. Blonde Blazer isn’t well-acquainted with him, trying to guess his birthplace when she conveys how important diversity is to Robert. Galen is unamused by this, and states he’s from Florida, across the room from their conversation.He also disapproves of her trying to quietly remark to Robert that he should stay off the bath salts, and responds that the incident only involved just one person suffering for it.

    Robert Robertson (Mecha Man): Co-workers. Galen is occasionally bemused by Robert, reminding him of unspent skill points that a Phoenix has earned when he neglects to use them.

    Roy, or better known as Royd, is one of Robert Robertson's colleagues at SDN

    Unlike most at SDN, he's aware of Robert's real superhero identity due to being on a "needed to know" basis.

    Aliases: Royd Affiliation: SDN Occupation: SDN worker Gender: Male Hair color: Black Eye color: Brown

    Due to three other workers at SDN also being named Roy, he tends to go by "Royd" to differentiate himself, though he's not sure how this came to be.
    Based off his tattoo and using Hawaiian vocabulary, it's likely Royd comes from the Oceania region.

18. #18Water Boy

    Keys: Water Boy

    Aliases: Herm, Hermy Name: Herman Species: Human Birthplace: Los Angeles, California, USA Age: 24 Height: 6' 4" (193 cm) Affiliation: SDN Occupation: Janitor/Hero Bio: Produces water spontaneously throughout his body. Crippling social anxiety, easily frightened. Lives with his grandmother.

    Synergy: Punch Up (stand in for Coupé), Malevola (stand-in for Sonar) Waterboy is a janitor and possible hero trainee at the SDN Torrance branch. He was hired by SDN-T as a janitor on the same day Robert was hired as a dispatcher.

    Waterboy lives with grandmother whom he cares for along with several cats.

    Prior to arriving at the SDN, Waterboy had suffered numerous unlucky incidents, including having several hot coffees spilled on him, splashed by roadside water, kicked out of a bus, and run over by Flambae's car.

    While Robert is watching an SDN ad featuring Phenomaman, waiting for Blonde Blazer in the lobby, he's nervously greeted by Waterboy, who claims his idolatry of the latter and makes small talk about him. Struggling to fix his tie, Robert sits next to him to tie it himself, noting how soaked it is. Robert asks if he's there for a job interview, which Waterboy admits to, explaining that his powers leave him soaked regardless, leading to others referring to him as 'Waterboy' for it.

    While fixing Waterboy's tie, Flambae enters the lobby, causing Robert to inch closer to Waterboy and obscure his face from him. Waterboy recognises him as Mecha Man in return, saying he thought he was dead, and being surprised that he was smaller than he was imagining. Blonde Blazer joins in to retrieve Robert for his onboarding, much to Waterboy's awe, standing up to greet her, exclaiming that she's a 'real hero'.

    Sometime after Robert's first shift, Waterboy is seen cleaning his desk, nervously clarifying that he wasn't responsible for the mess, and explaining that Invisigal had come by to leave Robert's favourite donut as a gift before doubling back to smash it in her anger. While somewhat disappointed to be a janitor, he insists on cleaning up Robert's desk, and earnestly thanks Robert for helping him, implicitly revealing that he recognises him as Mecha Man as a civilian.

    Following Phenomaman accidentally launching glass shards into Robert's chest, Invisigal attempts to flirt with him in the bathroom while picking them out by the sink. The moment is broken by Waterboy dealing with diarrhea, apologising for the interruption, saying he tried not to make a sound. Robert reassures him before scolding Invisigal for her actions, saying that the bathroom isn't the place for 'whatever [this] is.'

    Upset, Invisigal lashes out at Waterboy, saying he 'ruined this for [her]' before storming off, to which he accepts was his fault, further apologising for it.

    In the aftermath of firing a Phoenix and struggles to keep up with SDN calls, Blonde Blazer offers Robert the option of choosing either Waterboy or Phenomaman to fill in.

    Described as easily frightened and suffering from crippling social anxiety, Waterboy is a nervous, awkward, but eager young man.

    He is devoted to any job he is given, carefully and diligently cleaning a windowpane on Robert’s date with Blonde Blazer, with the latter attempting to dissuade him from continuing either from his new responsibility as a Phoenix, or the late hours, to no effect.

    Meek, insecure, and often suffering from bad luck, Waterboy often resigns himself to being berated, hurt, and insulted with little complaint. When Flambae spitefully spills spaghetti all over him and insults him, Waterboy weakly tries to argue back, before resigning himself to cleaning it up after a shower. As a Phoenix team member, he tries his best to be co-operative and helpful, apologising for the inconveniences his powers create, and eats alone in the janitor closet after his disastrous shift, despondent over his poor performance and bullying from the Z-Team.

    Despite this, Waterboy is also selfless and protective. If Robert chooses him for the Z-Team and reveals his identity as Mecha Man, Waterboy douses an enraged Flambae’s fire to protect Robert from getting killed and stands his ground against him when threatened in return. He dotes on his grandmother, regularly preparing her food and medication, as well as helping her into a stair lift at home. He also fills an empty pond for a flock of ducks, and tries to reassure a stunned woman when he's splashed by a car.

    He is somewhat thoughtless, despite his eager personality. He tries to clean a TV while staff are watching the news, throws out Flambae’s labelled lunch to clear out the fridge, neglecting to read it, and offers his contaminated lunch back to try and make amends. If picked to join the Z-Team, he will try to dispatch himself to missions if not sent enough, often at risk to himself.

    It's implied he's a fan of black metal and gardening, having a poster of Abbath and several potted plants in his bedroom. Appearance

    Waterboy is a tall and lanky man. He has straight, short brunette hair that reaches his nape. It's constantly soaked, drooping down and framing his face.

    He is always seen wearing blue swimming goggles, He wears a waterproof yellow and blue jumpsuit with black shoes with matching elbow and knee pads.

    Powers: Eager Sponge Waterboy assigns himself when not sent often. He gains 1+ to the highest stat for that call, He can only be removed one time.

    Eager Super Sponge Waterboy now gains +3 to the highest stat for that call. (Optional Hero Training skill)

    Holy Water Spit Waterboy no longer assigns himself. Waterboy will heal up to two heroes when sent on a call. (Optional Hero Training skill)

    Bodily Liquids Generation Waterboy generates water from his entire body. He has little control over it, with his nervous personality worsening its water production, needing Waterboy to wear a waterproof wetsuit to accommodate his powers.

    He doesn't have a thorough understanding of his powers, nervously saying he thinks it's not urine when asked, explaining it's just water from his body. It's implied that the nature of his powers causes him to suffer from diarrhea. Hydro Breath

    Waterboy can expel streams of water from his mouth, usually in the form of vomiting. He can control the rate of expulsion, being able to accurately splash a ceiling mounted TV, or gently coat Robert's donut splattered desk with water.

    With training, his saliva takes on healing properties, able to heal injuries.

    Relationships Robert Robertson (Mecha Man) Allies, potential boss and employee. Waterboy looks up to Robert in a way, and it is notable that his stutter is much less severe when he talks with him.

    Flambae Acquainted, potential co-heroes. Flambae shows little tolerance and care for Waterboy, cursing him out for 'hitting his car' after running Waterboy over before threatening him not to tell anyone about what happened, driving off. Between shifts, Flambae also insults him for throwing out his food, angrily slapping the contaminated spaghetti out of Waterboy's hands, splattering him with it, and telling him to clean it up by 'water pissing' all over himself. Timid and ashamed, Waterboy tries to explain the nature of his powers before giving up, going to rinse himself off. Despite this, Waterboy tries to be supportive during his first shift, saying that their powers are the best combo. Flambae warns him in return to stay at a distance so their powers don't interfere with each other. When Waterboy is faced with his own mounting insecurities and numerous mistakes, Flambae tries to comfort him, saying that '[he] tried, and [he] sucks,' and that it happens; with the important lesson that at least Waterboy now knows '[he] sucks.'

    Punch Up Potential co-heroes and synergy pair. When paired, Waterboy will try to say his "Top of the mornin'" catchphrase before being interrupted by the latter, who doesn't want to hear it. Punch Up advises Waterboy to stay out of trouble, which he agrees to. Waterboy is eager to arm wrestle Punch Up again after work, with the latter amusedly noting that '[he] doesn't know when to give up' after barely lasting four seconds last time, to which Waterboy meekly responds he could get to five.

    Has a waterproof home.

    Waterboy applied for a position in Janitorial services on the same day Mecha Man got the job as a Dispatcher at SDN. He approaches Robert after watching an advertisement featuring Phenomaman and appears to look up to him. Waterboy struggles to fasten a tie, soaking it in the process, before Mecha Man helps him. He explains that he has the ability to make things "moist."

    Later in the episode, he is seen again cleaning the keyboard of Robert after Invisigal smashed a donut into it, explaining he didn't do it. It is here that we can see that he can expel water from his mouth.

    After the first shift in episode 4, Robert has the option to choose Waterboy to fill the slot in the Z Team left by the team member Robert chose to cut from the team in the previous episode. If chosen, he is enthusiastic and grateful, but still exhibits his nervous demeanour throughout the rest of the episode. After the final shift of episode 4, Robert finds him in the janitor's closet, sitting in a bucket, where he gives him advice on his stuttering and confidence issues. If Robert decides to go on a date with Blonde Blazer, Waterboy is seen cleaning a window even though it's past work time.

    If chosen for the the Z-team, Waterboy appears in episode 5 at the Sardine alongside the rest of the Z-team, where he struggles to walk past several villains at the bar before Robert hands him a drink. During the bar fight against the Red Ring, he only appears during one shot, bystanding in the background.

    If Robert reveals himself as Mecha Man to the team, Waterboy has a brief face-off with Flambae, spitting water on the latter after he attacked Robert with fire. When the team decides to reveal their real names to Robert, he stands up and introduces himself as Herman and mentions his grandmother, who calls him Herm. Personality

    Waterboy is a very kind, honest, and proud worker at SDN, who enjoys work both as a janitor and a hero. However, he is shown on multiple occasions to freak out or get nervous. After Robert's advice, Waterboy quickly becomes more confident in subsequent episodes, stuttering less and forming more clear sentences when speaking. Despite his confidence issues, he is determined to be a hero and stands up for people in need. Relationship

    Robert Robertson - Waterboy is grateful to Robert for helping him get his job. If chosen for the Z-team, Robert is shown to believe in Waterboy's potential as a hero and refers to him as an 'actual good person' when talking about him with Chase, also defending Waterboy whenever other Z-team members make fun of him. When Robert is attacked by Flambae, he is willing to protect his new friend despite the potential threat of being burned himself.

    Shroud is a former Brave Brigade member

    Shroud, then going by Eli, desired to join the Brave Brigade in 1999. He is particularly disliked by the members, particularly Robbie, it is also implied that he is often used by others for his intellect, having been persuaded to invent the Astral Pulse for Robbie.

    Prior to joining the Brave Brigade, Eli invented the Astral Pulse and augments, having one implanted into the right side of his head.

    According to the comics, in 1999, Shroud appears as a bespectacled, slightly heavy-set man with brown hair and brown eyes. He has augmented himself and has cybernetics jutting out the right side of his head. He also has a thin pencil mustache.

    In Chapter 1, according to his mugshot, Shroud no longer wears glasses and is much more thin, he also now has blue eyes instead. He no longer has cybernetics attached to his head. He still retains the pencil mustache.

    As a villain, Shroud wears a red mask and cloak.

    Elliot "Eli" Connors, better known as Shroud, is a former member of Brave Brigades turned supervillain, the leader of the Red Ring, and the primary antagonist of Dispatch.

    Shroud was a superhero and former Brave Brigades member who worked alongside the second Mecha Man, Astral. Somewhere down the line, however, he became a supervillain and killed Astral, shooting him in the chest. After the incident, Robert Robertson, who then took on the mantle of Mecha Man, tracked him down and swore to put an end to Shroud. However, this turned out to be a trap that Shroud setup to get to Mecha Man. Robert barely managed to escape, though his suit was destroyed in the process alongside the prized Astral Pulse.

    While Shroud thought the Astral Pulse was destroyed with the suit, he eventually realized it wasn't and pinpointed its current location was down by the piers in a ship. However, other criminal factions also learned of this around the same time, leading to the groups fighting each other as they tore through the ship for the prized object.

    Unlike the rest though, Shroud hid and waited, only taking out Lava Lad and his friend so that Invisigal would think it was safe to leave the captain's cabin with the Astral Pulse. When she did, Shroud came up from behind and attacked, taking the briefcase Invisigal had been carrying and kicking her inhaler away so she'd die soon without it. Shroud then left with the briefcase.

    As Shroud, he wears a large black trench coat and a hood, with cables sticking out from its neck portion onto his back. He also wears various augments with red glowing accents. Shroud wears a metal mask resembling a skull with itsleft eye being red, and glowing.

    As Elliot Connors, he's a blue-eyed man with short brown hair and a mustache.

    Genius-Level Intellect: Shroud is an extremely intelligent individual. He has created mechanical implantations that augmented the users, and he knew instantly the power that the Mecha Man armor had left. Shroud is also well known for exploiting superpowered individuals' weaknesses, as seen when he took advantage of Invisigal's asthma problems and used tear gas on her.
    Master Tactician: Shroud is an exceptional tactician and strategist, orchestrating plans ahead. He managed to kill Second Mecha Man, escaped from jail, and planned an attack on the third Mecha Man. Shroud shows some great leadership skills as he created his own criminal organization, which a lot of criminals have joined, and he is respected by them, as seen when they stopped shooting at Mecha Man and stepped aside.
    Master Engineer: Shroud can create augments that can enhance the power of both a superpowered individual and a normal individual. As shown in the comics, he creates augments for himself and can do so for others. His augments are composed of mechanical implantations placed everywhere in the Red Ring's organization members' bodies, and each of them also has Red Ring symbols to indicate this.
    

21. #21Phenomeman

    Keys: Phenomeman

    A powerful alien from the planet of Urgot-52dc, he is considered a living legend and the strongest superhero. After his girlfriend, Blonde Blazer, broke up with him, Phenomaman fell into a deep depression. He is a potential member of Z-Team.

    Name: Katon-Ur

    Species: Alien (species unknown) Birthplace: Urgot-52dc Age: Unknown Height: 6′ 4″ (193 cm) Affiliation: SDN Occupation: Hero Bio: Has graciously chosen to live here on Earth and protect our feeble bodies. Occasional commercial actor.

    Phenomaman is an alien from another planet. At some point, he came to Earth and worked at a Nordstorm Rack. Afterwards, he used his alien powers to become a superhero and gained the reputation of the world's greatest superhero, and joining the Superhero Dispatch Network (SDN) as their mascot, appearing in commercials advertising their services. At some point, he entered in a romantic relationship with Blonde Blazer.

    Phenomaman is polite yet seems to struggle with social cues. Due to being from another planet, Phenomaman isn't accustomed to human customs, which may cause him to come over as awkward and insensitive. Despite this, he is kind at heart and does make a genuine effort to understand humanity. He also views humans as weak and believes their efforts to be more than what they are to be vain but admirable. He also does not seem to know his own strength, causing him to accidentally injure Robert.

    Phenomaman is used by SDN as a mascot; though he does not seem to be comfortable acting in commercials, constantly glancing at a teleprompter, repositioning his hands constantly, and smiling awkwardly, with Robert being able to note his poor performance.

    After Blonde Blazer broke up with him, Phenomaman became deeply depressed to the point that he considered flying into the sun and absorbing its energy so he wouldn't have to see her again, and became unable to perform superheroics, leading to his indefinite suspension from SDN. Should he be chosen to replace the cut hero on the Z-Team, he later states that he learned that he hates himself. By the time of Robert's housewarming party, he seemed to have largely gotten over his depression, though he has not gotten over Blazer quite yet, looking saddened if Blazer kisses Robert.

    He seems to completely identify himself as an other in the world, with himself and Blazer referring to him as "not people".

    Phenomaman has short brown mullet-like slicked back hair and gray eyes. He also sports a moustache. Phenomaman wears a sleeveless blue body suit and a red belt, with a red cape and a high collar with yellow on its rim. He is muscular, and has red arm cuffs with silver near the wrist and yellow rimming it.

    As of episode 3, he sports mutton chops, with a healthy amount of unshaved hair extending between them through his chin. he seems to have developed eye bags.

    Prior to becoming a superhero, Phenomaman worked at a Nordstrom Rack.
    It is implied that on his home planet, physiques that resemble traditionally masculine forms on Earth are considered disgusting.
    In an early bug/oversight in the game, any member of the original Team-Z's crimes (sans the one the player chose to kick out) were randomly listed in Phenomaman's bio.
    Phenomaman's Keywords reuses symbols from other keywords like Fighter (for Impenetrable) and Pop Star (for Alien.)
    

    Phenomaman has slightly grown out, slicked back brown hair and dark green eyes. He also sports a mustache. Phenomaman wears a sleeveless blue body suit and a red belt, with a red cape and a high collar with yellow on its rim. He is muscular and has red arm cuffs with silver near the wrist and yellow rimming them.

    Phenomaman is polite yet seems to struggle with social cues. Due to being from another planet, Phenomaman isn't accustomed fully to human traditions and thinks it's okay to invite Robert to his date with Blonde Blazer, as well as failing to understand Blonde Blazer's feelings in their relationship. Even when interacting with other people, his well-mannered but seemingly standoffish nature can cause situations to be awkward. Despite this, he is a gentleman and presents himself as confident. However, sometimes can unintentionally give backhanded compliments. He considers compliments on his looks as bullying because it reminds him that based on his peoples beauty ideals or standards he is considered ugly on his home planet Urgot-52dc.

    Phenomaman is a human-like humanoid alien from another planet. At some point, he comes to Earth and works at a Nordstrom Rack where he gets the nickname Dumpy from his colleagues because of his "large posterior" and then becomes a superhero for SDN and appears in multiple SDN advertisements, becoming the poster boy for the company. During the beginning of episode 2, when Robert is waiting for Blonde Blazer TV shows an ad for SDN starring Phenomaman. He appears clearly uncomfortable and can also be spotted reading text from a teleprompter. At the end of Episode 2, it is revealed that he and Blonde Blazer are dating. However, at the beginning of Episode 3, Blonde Blazer reveals she decided to end their relationship. He falls into a deep depression and is eventually indifferently suspended from the Downtown Los Angeles branch, thus also cutting him from his own team.

    In Episode 4, Phenomaman crashes into a car and discloses to Robert that he and Blonde Blazer broke up. If Robert kissed Blonde Blazer in Episode 1 and chooses to reveal that to Phenomaman, Robert will state he is "not that good of a kisser" leading to Phenomaman kissing Robert to see if that is true.

    Robert can choose to recruit either him or Waterboy as a replacement for Coupé/Sonar. If Robert does recruit him, Phenomaman is grateful to Robert for the opportunity, but finds himself ostracized by the other members due to his personality and the fact that he is a superhero working in a roster of former supervillains. He will later be seen in an office still obsessing over his failed relationship with Blonde Blazer, leading to Robert stating that he needs to find something else to be passionate about. Relationship

    Blonde Blazer - Phenomaman's ex-girlfriend whom he's very much still in love with.
    
    Robert Robertson - Phenomaman seems to try to maintain his positive relationship with people, saying that he thought he knew all of Blazer's co-workers when he was introduced to Robert, and despite being a first meeting, he invites Robert to a sushi place in Japan. After his untimely breakup, Blazer encourages Robert to step in and help Phenomaman with his depressive issues. How Robert is chosen by the player, varying from encouragement to move on, encouragement to seek personal help, and to admitting to have kissed Blazer, if the player did choose to do so. In the event Robert does admit to kissing Blazer, Phenomaman kisses Robert to ascertain if Robert is so good a kisser that Blazer would leave him and announcers that not to be the case.
    

    Abilities Alien Physiology: As an alien, Phenomaman possesses many extraordinary powers exceeding of humans. Superhuman Strength: Phenomaman possesses some degree of enormous levels of physical strength for lifting, moving, and exerting force. He can easily lift up a rock boulder and a bus. Superhuman Durability: Phenomaman can endure immense conditions including but not limited to overheat, bullets and pretty much every attack coming from an ordinary human. Superhuman Speed: Phenomaman can move and fly faster than the speed of sound. This is demonstrated when he rears up quickly from a car to the point making the shards fly directly at Robert. He can also hover without making any sound. Flight: Phenomaman is capable of flight and can be noted by Blazer to fly a little faster than her. His starting impact can stun small creatures nearby and disrupt the work of electrical appliances. Solar Energy Absorption: Phenomenon can absorb the energy directly from the sun. He notes to himself that he can turn Earth into the infinite darkness by absorbing all the sun's energy.

    According to Phenomaman, his genitals aren't compatible with humans. He at some point worked at a Nordstrom Rack before becoming a hero. His home planet Urgot-52dc is quite possibly a reference to the number 52 being a recurring thematic number in the DC Universe. Based on his peoples beauty ideals or standards he is considered ugly on his home planet Urgot-52dc.

22. #22Astral Pulse

    Keys: Astral Pulse

    The Astral Pulse is an energy source used to power the Mecha Man armor. Inside it contains a Stellar Core which produce super energized plasma though the control fusion as source of power.

    Shroud, a former hero turned villain, desired the Astral Pulse for himself for as yet unknown reasons and went about luring the current Mecha Man (Robert Robertson III) into a trap at a steel mill. This resulted in the destruction of the Mecha Man armor and the loss of the Astral Pulse. However, Robert was hired by the SDN shortly after, and their chief engineer, Royd, is confident he can produce a new one along with repairing the Mecha Man armor.

    After Royd's latest attempt to recreate the Astral Pulse led to an explosion in the SDN lab that knocked out Robert for the better part of the day, Invisigal realized she'd seen the same type of explosion before. Connecting the dots, she realized the original Astral Pulse wasn't destroyed like Robert initially thought, but instead had been found but passed hands at least four times as each low-level criminal likewise ran into disastrous results trying to harness its power. The group was then able to trace its energy signature to a ship in one gang's territory. After Blonde Blazer denies the mission for it being too risky for a low branch like Torrance, Invisigal ignored this command and tried to locate it to help Robert.

    Having talked to Robert Robertson II about tech once, Royd notes while the second Mecha Man was good at tinkering and creating things, he wasn't a tech nerd, so it was unlikely he had created the Astral Pulse. Robert Robertson III confirmed it was the only piece of the Mecha Man armor he didn't have schematics for.
