1. #1Evolons

   Keys: Evolons, Evolon, metahuman

   A subspecies of Homo sapiens that possess various superpowers of varying Threat Levels. Before the Evolon Rebellion, they served as superheroes or supervillains. To assess their potential danger, Evolons’ powers are ranked on a Threat Level scale from 1 (the lowest) to 5 (the highest). Some Evolons have Threat Level X, which means that their powers are too situational or unpredictable.

2. #2Evolon Rebellion

   Keys: Evolon Rebellion, Rise of the Evolons, Evolon Purge

   An event that occurred at the end of the Dark Age of Superheroism, when in an attempt to keep the Evolons under control, the ECA and the UN decided to mass-exterminate the most powerful metahumans, without distinguishing between superheroes and supervillains. After killing some of them, the surviving Evolons went berserk and retaliated, destroying the UN, the ECA, and defeating some of the world's armies. This led to the birth of the Metahuman Empire and the Resistance.

3. #3Dark Age of Superheroism

   Keys: Dark Age of Superheroism

   A time period that lasted roughly from 2016 to 2020. During this period, Earth experienced economic crisis, environmental disasters, political scandals, and a sharp loss of people's trust in superheroes. This led to a failed attempt by human governments to destroy the most powerful Evolons for the sake of global security, which provoked the Evolon Rebellion in response.

4. #4Metahuman Empire

   Keys: Triumvirate, Capital, Empire

   A militaristic state that emerged after the Evolon Rebellion and overthrew the United Nations. They believe that metahumans should rule the world and take care of each other, while humans are generally considered second-class citizens. Most of the Empire's citizens are former superheroes or supervillains, although there are also regular Evolons.

   The Metahuman Empire is a relative democracy (for Metahumans only), but the highest positions are held by the Triumvirate, which includes: Glasswalker (Theodore Mallet), the supreme commander with the ability to walk through mirrors, a very polite, cultured person; Proteus, an asexual Evolon with the ability to control his biology, has a pale and alien appearance, obsessed with the idea of ​​​​evolution, therefore holds the position of supreme scientist; Kinetic Siren (Lisette Marksley), the supreme propagandist, a former superheroine with telekinesis, secretly suffers from a brain tumor, therefore outside the cameras is paranoid and nervous.

5. #5Resistance

   Keys: Resistance

   The Resistance is a loose collection of smaller factions united by a common goal: the overthrow of the Metahuman Empire. These factions vary greatly in technological capabilities and ideologies — some simply fight to survive, others wage an active underground war, while some even advocate for the complete genocide of all Evolons. Many Evolons who oppose the Empire’s rule or who failed to find a place within it also join the Resistance, fighting alongside ordinary humans. Without a central command, the coalition is anchored by several factions. Rubicon is a massive aquapolis that has become a heavily fortified haven for radical human supremacists. In contrast stands The Labyrinth, a more moderate faction that clings to democratic ideals and maintains a relative pre-war government structure. Elsewhere, the fiercely isolationist city-state of Cartokua hoards highly advanced technology behind closed borders, while countless semi-nomadic tribes and scattered underground cities carve out a brutal existence in the wastelands

6. #6Free City of Rubicon

   Keys: aquapolis, Free City of Rubicon, Rubicon

   A heavily militarized, roaming floating city, Rubicon is a fortified haven for human supremacists. Its non-powered citizens are united by a fierce hatred of the Metahuman Empire and openly despise any faction that cooperates with Evolons. Despite their xenophobia, the city accepts human refugees on the condition that they swear an oath of perpetual service. Powered by a deep-core reactor, Rubicon sustains itself through deep-sea fishing, greenhouse cultivation, and synthetic food production. Life aboard the aquapolis is spartan and egalitarian: almost all residents are treated equally, but every citizen is mandated to undergo military training. Due to their radicalism, Rubicon is largely shunned by other Resistance factions, a sentiment the city gladly reciprocates.

7. #7Labyrinth

   Keys: New Delhi, Labyrinth

   Built upon the ruins of New Delhi, The Labyrinth is the most populous stronghold in the Resistance, housing several million survivors. The sprawling city-state is divided into distinct concentric sectors; wealth and living conditions steadily degrade the closer one gets to the densely populated, heavily fortified outer walls. As a moderate faction, The Labyrinth clings to pre-war democratic ideals and strives to maintain a moral high ground, welcoming both ordinary humans and Evolons into their ranks. However, this idealism does not blunt their combat effectiveness, as they regularly launch coordinated raids and offensives against the Metahuman Empire. The city operates as a republic, governed by a 200-member Chamber comprised of representatives elected by popular vote.

8. #8Cartokua

   Keys: Cartokua

   Hidden deep within the jungles of former Kenya, Cartokua is a fiercely isolationist, high-tech city-state. Originally envisioned as a luxurious "garden city" under the pre-war "New Africa" project, its completion was thwarted by the Evolon Rebellion and the subsequent global collapse. Today, its survivors have rebuilt the settlement into one of the most technologically advanced bastions on Earth. Governed by a technocracy and managed by a highly advanced AI, Cartokua is protected by an automated defense grid of drones and robotics. The city offers sanctuary to humans and Evolon defectors alike. Despite possessing formidable military potential, Cartokua avoids direct conflict with the Empire, preferring to maintain its secrecy and manage its own internal affairs. However, they are known to occasionally sell their advanced weaponry and tech to other Resistance cells.

9. #9League

   Keys: League, supervillains

   A supervillain organization that was once very active in the Evolon Rebellion. The League controlled almost all supervillain schemes on Earth, funding crime and fighting against the Evolons in service of the government. The League was led by Omen. Disbanded before the Evolon Rebellion.

10. #10Whitewater Sanatorium

    Keys: Whitewater Sanatorium

    A secret military facility hidden by ECA forces somewhere in Alaska, for the containment and study of highly dangerous Evolons. During the Evolon Rebellion, a riot occurred in the Sanatorium, which resulted in the near-destruction of human personnel and the escape of most of the prisoners. The base was abandoned shortly thereafter.

11. #11Evolon Control Agency

    Keys: Evolon Control Agency, ECA

    Originally established to oversee the protection, registration, and training of Evolons, the ECA was once the definitive global authority on superhero operations. Evolving from secretive White House military programs in the 1940s and 1950s, the agency eventually fractured from government oversight. It transitioned into a massive, independent quasi-corporation that operated in close conjunction with the United Nations. During its golden age, the ECA standardized the global Evolon Threat Level system, funded superhero academies worldwide, and provided logistical support for heroes combatting international supervillainy. However, the agency's public-facing benevolence masked a deeply corrupt core. Behind closed doors, the ECA operated a network of black-site laboratories, conducting unethical and inhumane experiments on Evolons away from the public eye.

    The agency's downfall — and the catalyst for the global apocalypse — came when the ECA and the UN conspired to eliminate all high-level Evolons. This mass betrayal triggered the Evolon Rebellion, leading directly to the collapse of modern human civilization and the immediate disbandment of the ECA.

    Today, the legacy of the ECA is heavily polarized. The Metahuman Empire harbors a grudge against the fallen agency, actively hunting down former employees to settle personal scores. Likewise, many ordinary humans and Evolons view the organization with bitter hatred, blaming its hubris for dooming the world. Yet, a quiet minority still views the defunct agency with neutrality, or even a nostalgia for the lost era of structured, state-sponsored heroism it once represented.

12. #12Grave Hounds

    Keys: Grave Hounds

    A group of four Evolon mercenaries who serve the highest bidder. This group includes Omen (leader), Atomic Reaper, Pandora, and Mindstitch, though the mercenaries usually take on jobs separately. The group is made up entirely of women.

13. #13Immolator

    Keys: Immolator, Valeria Navarro

    Operating as a feared enforcer for the Metahuman Empire, Immolator (born Valeria Navarro) is a Threat Level 3 Evolon. A master pyrokinetic, she can manipulate existing fire, conjure scorching "pseudo-flames" from thin air, and propel herself through the sky using thermal flight.

    Before the apocalypse, Valeria was a celebrated superheroine and a proud member of the "Children of Pele," a tight-knit squad of pyrokinetic heroes. Her loyalty to humanity was reduced to ash during the early days of the Evolon Rebellion, when ECA agents and military forces slaughtered nearly all of her teammates in a purge. The trauma of this betrayal transformed her into a renowned rebel and, eventually, a ruthless weapon for the Empire. Outwardly, Immolator embodies the element she controls: she is fiery, aggressive, and blunt. Yet, beneath this hardened, merciless exterior lies a profound vulnerability. She remains haunted by the slaughter of her friends, masking her unresolved grief and survivor's guilt with devastating rage.

    Valeria appears as a young woman with fair skin, long scarlet hair, and red eyes. Her skin also shows signs of burns. In combat, she typically wears a futuristic, dark red uniform, complete with a mask covering her head and a red hooded cape.

14. #14Devourer

    Keys: Devourer, Miriam Landley

    Miriam Landley, designated "Devourer" by her captors, is a Threat Level 4 Evolon burdened with a horrifying mutation. Without warning, her body can involuntarily collapse and transform into a carnivorous mass of dark slime. In this state, Miriam loses control over her physical form, becoming a mindless force of consumption that is dangerous to anyone in her vicinity.

    Born into a humble Amish family before the global collapse, Miriam’s life was stolen from her the moment her powers manifested. Intercepted at a local hospital by a covert ECA squad, the young girl was abducted and vanished into the Whitewater Sanatorium — a black-site prison hidden in the frozen wilderness of Alaska, built specifically to warehouse Evolons with unstable or uncontrollable abilities. Miriam spent nearly her entire life in captivity there, finding solace only in a bond with three fellow inmates: Karla Fønss (Cryogenia), Polina Goncharuk (Pandora), and Olivia Malando (Mindstitch).

    When the Evolon Rebellion ignited globally, the ECA issued a directive to the Whitewater staff: execute all prisoners to prevent their escape. Before the massacre could begin, the inmates launched a bloody uprising spearheaded by Cryogenia, resulting in the death of nearly all facility personnel. In the chaotic aftermath, Karla vanished, while Pandora and Mindstitch successfully escaped into the wider world. Paralyzed by fear of the unknown and terrified of her own destructive potential, Miriam could not bring herself to leave. She chose instead to remain behind, living as a solitary hermit amidst the decaying, bloodstained ruins of her former prison.

    Miriam is a short, pale young woman with tired gray eyes, short pale hair, and dark growths on her arms. She is very kind, religious, and a bit cowardly, but has a sweet side.

15. #15Digital Oracle

    Keys: Digital Oracle, Zuzanna Dabrowska

    The Digital Oracle, born Zuzanna Dabrowska, was once celebrated as one of the greatest heroes of the Golden Age of Superheroism. Alongside her loyal friend and partner, the Solar Empress (real name: Nafisa Farah), she captured the hearts of millions worldwide by defending humanity against the League's insidious plots. However, this era ended abruptly when Nafisa vanished, presumed dead at the hands of the villainous Quasi-Master. Shattered by the loss, Zuzanna lost faith in herself and retreated from the world. She now plays almost no part in the ongoing war against the Metahuman Empire.

    A Threat Level 4 Evolon, Zuzanna possesses the ability to remotely control digital and electronic devices using only her mind. Paired with her brilliant intellect, this power allows her to assemble highly advanced gadgets from discarded junk. Despite her genius, some people tend to keep their distance due to Zuzanna's mild eccentricities. For example, she believes that machines have consciousness, and has a habit of having casual conversations with everyday electronics.

    She appears as a young woman with fair skin, short, spiky dark hair, purple eyes, and a casual appearance (piercings and implants). She now typically wears casual clothes, such as a leather biker jacket and a gray T-shirt with anime patterns. By nature, she is a depressive, a cynic and pessimist who has lost faith in herself, although a spark for betterment still lives in her heart.

16. #16Queen Chlorophyll

    Keys: Queen Chlorophyll, Molly Rose

    Queen Chlorophyll (real name: Molly Rose), is a former superheroine who now works as an enforcer for the Metahuman Empire. Unlike her coworkers who have genuine experience fighting villains, Molly was never considered a serious hero. Instead, she gained fame as the host of the low-budget yet highly popular educational nature program, "Visiting Queen Chlorophyll"! A Threat Level 1 Evolon, Molly is a remarkably weak metahuman with almost zero combat experience. Her abilities are limited to slight levitation and accelerating plant growth through physical contact, a slow process that still takes several hours to bring a plant to full maturity.

    Despite her television success during the Golden Age of Superheroism, Queen Chlorophyll secretly longed to be a powerful, respected, and feared warrior. When the old world order collapsed and the Metahuman Empire seized control of Earth, Molly saw an opportunity to defect to the winning side. She was determined to erase her embarrassing past and reinvent herself as a dangerous threat. However, the lack of power means that almost no one, not even her fellow enforcers, takes her seriously.

    She appears as a short young woman with fair skin, bright green eyes, and short green hair (in a bob). On combat missions, she usually wears a white and purple uniform with a cape. Molly likes to pretend to be tough and dangerous, but in reality, she's a coward and a girl failure, weak-willed and secretly trying to be useful.

17. #17Lady of Aeaea

    Keys: Lady of Aeaea, Circe, Aeaea

    Circe (assuming that is her real name) is an ancient and mysterious metahuman who has observed human history for millennia, existing long before the term "Evolon" was ever coined. While she prefers to maintain a strict neutrality, her true motives remain a closely guarded secret. A Threat Level 5 Evolon, Circe is a reality warper capable of bending the laws of the universe to her will. Although her powers are confined to the borders of her mysterious island home, Aeaea, she wields absolute, almost godlike might within its shores.

    She was actually born in pre-ancient times and has lived for many centuries. Long ago, she was even part of a legendary group of metahumans called the "Children of Ahriman," who posed as gods, and to this day is considered the only survivor.

    She appears as a young woman with blank white eyes, dark gray skin, and long brown hair. She typically wears antique clothing and speaks in a somewhat archaic manner, and dislikes modern technology. Kirka enjoys inviting guests to her island for entertainment, but can sometimes be paranoid and jealous. In her true form, she is a disfigured woman who cannot see, hear, or move, existing solely through her reality warping. However, she rarely displays this form, preferring to communicate through her normal self.

18. #18Acid Fang

    Keys: Acid Fang, Charlotte Lynch, Sean Lynch, Daniel Lynch

    Charlotte Lynch (better known by her notorious alias, Acid Fang) is a pragmatic and highly dangerous former supervillain. Before the global collapse, she served as a key enforcer for the League — an international syndicate of Evolon criminals that stood as the primary opposition to the ECA and its sanctioned superheroes. Following the Metahuman Uprising and the League's dissolution, this talented criminal and ruthless rebel made a shocking pivot: joining the human-led Resistance to dismantle the Metahuman Empire to protect her two younger brothers (common people): Sean and Daniel.

    A Threat Level 2 Evolon, Charlotte possesses partial reptilian biology. She boasts superhuman agility and reflexes, combined with the ability to switch to infrared vision at will. Her most lethal assets, however, are her razor-sharp claws, venomous fangs that secrete a neurotoxin, and her signature ability to project this venom as a highly corrosive acid projectile.

    She has the appearance of a young 25-year-old punk woman in casual street clothes. She has red hair, a mohawk, yellow snake eyes, clawed hands, and fangs in her mouth. She has a strong Irish accent and a slightly gruff demeanor, a carryover from her work as a supervillain.

19. #19Raluca Luca

    Keys: Raluca Luca, Raluca

    Raluca Luca is a young Evolon woman ranked Threat Level 1. She has no combat experience and has never been a superhero or supervillain. She has only one ability: she has extra limbs (up to five or six pairs of arms) that she can control for multitasking.

    Before the Evolon Rebellion, Raluca was bullied at school, which left her with low self-esteem. However, when the Evolon rebelled, Raluca was one of those covering the events from the rebel side and was even present at the signing of the declaration of the founding of the Metahuman Empire. Afterward, she got a job at the Empire Chronicle newspaper, living a comfortable life in the Capital.

    Raluca is a kind and sweet, yet nervous and shy young woman. She is a reporter but dreams of becoming a journalist. She believes in Imperial propaganda, thinking the Resistance are terrorists. She has fair skin, long blue hair braided into two pigtails, glasses, blue eyes, and wears dark gray journalist clothes.

20. #20Omen

    Keys: Omen, Zahra Al-Munira, Grave Hounds, League

    Omen (real name Zahra Al-Munira) is an Evolon with the ability to manipulate luck and probability. She was once the leader of a supervillain organization called the League, but after the destruction of her home city, Sanaa, Omen became depressed and disbanded the organization. Following the Evolon Rebellion, Omen rebuilt Sanaa as a high-tech city-state under her rule, where she now rules as a benevolent but strict overlord. She commands a group of mercenaries called the Grave Hounds, including Atomic Reaper, Mindstitch, and Pandora.

    Atomic Reaper (real name: Felicia Berengar) is a metahuman mercenary and a Threat Level 4 Evolon who possesses the ability to draw radioactive energy from her surroundings and use it in combat to fuel her own powers. She is Canadian. She never wanted to be a superhero; prior to the Evolon Uprising, she had intended to become one of the first metahuman soldiers in military service but was discharged due to her overly aggressive behavior. Shortly after the Evolon Purge, Atomic Reaper became a mercenary and was recruited by the former supervillain Omen into the "Grave Hounds" squad.

    Atomic Reaper loves a good fight more than anything else. She despises cowards and pacifists and possesses a tough, tomboyish personality. She is fond of using military jargon in her speech. Due to the nature of her powers, Felicia suffers from radiation addiction, as absorbing the energy induces a sensation akin to euphoria. In this state, she behaves as if intoxicated and becomes extremely dangerous.

    Physically, Felicia appears as a young woman with fair skin, short, spiky red hair, green eyes, and a muscular build. Her body bears numerous scars and burns. Her super-suit resembles a dark green military-style outfit featuring leather shoulder straps, black gloves, a high collar, an open neckline (covered by fishnet), tight black jeans, and combat boots. She wears large, single-lens eyewear.

22. #22Terra

    Keys: Terra, Yamanishi Riho

Prior to the Evolon Uprising, she was a member of "Heroes of the Dawn" a small superhero team that also included Captain Blade (Michael Richardson) and Lady Shock (Anja Kvam). Unfortunately, during a mission in Yemen, Captain Blade made a mistake that resulted in numerous casualties. Terra took the blame for the incident, causing her to fall out of favor with the media. When the Evolon Purge occurred and the Metahuman Empire was established, Heroes of the Dawn joined its ranks as ruthless enforcers. Upon seeing what her former comrades had become, Terra attempted to leave; however, she was intercepted by them near the border, brutally beaten, and left for dead. She was saved only by a passing Resistance patrol.

    Terra possesses the power of geokinesis and can partially encase her body in crystals. However, she must maintain contact with the ground to use her abilities.

She serves as the chief warden of Rusty Nail — a massive POW camp and mining town located somewhere within the Metahuman Empire, where captives and non-powered individuals are secretly exiled. Before the Evolon Uprising, Martha headed a small mercenary corporation; she assumed her current role shortly after siding with the rebelling metahumans during the Dark Age of Superheroes. Shadow Echo is a calculating yet paranoid and cruel woman. Constantly anticipating conspiracies, she trusts no one —not even her own clones, whom she regularly kills out of fear that they might one day overthrow her.

31. #31Giorgia Palladi

    Keys: Giorgia Palladi

    Giorgia Palladi is a cowardly, passive, and uncaring Evolon woman who just wants to be left alone.

33. #33Iron Phantom

    Keys: Iron Phantom, Etienne Beauvais

    Iron Phantom is a rusty humanoid robot that has been loaded with the personality construct of Etienne Beauvais, a French private detective and World War I soldier who was the first person to introduce the Evolons to the public and the first director of the ECA. Etienne died of cancer in the 20th century, but the ECA secretly took an imprint of his brain. The Resistance later found this imprint after the Evolon Rebellion and uploaded it into the robot.

35. #35Penguin Khan

    Keys: Penguin Khan, Mirko Petrovec

    Penguin Khan (real name: Mirko Petrovec) is a mischievous and slightly crazy young man who lives in the neutral wasteland, causing all sorts of madness and completely ignoring both the Metahuman Empire and the Resistance. He has the ability to summon explosive penguins. He talks little about his past, but he is actually the son of Radovic Petrovec, a late genius inventor of gadgets for the ECA, and Circe, an ancient Evolon with reaily-warping powers. He also inherited his mother's powers, but is unaware of this and wastes the potential on creating penguin bombs.

36. #36Necronova

    Keys: Necronova, Anisa

    Necronova (real name: Anisa) is a former superhero, an Evolon with the ability to resurrect or heal people with her left hand, and kill with her right.

37. #37Karla Fønss

    Keys: Karla Fønss, Cryogenia

    Karla Fønss (also known as Cryogenia) is a Threat Level 4 Evolon with cryokinesis and the ability to drain heat from other beings. The daughter of two supervillains, she intensely hates normal humans, considering them the weakest race, and believes that metahumans will one day take over the world. However, she respects most Evolons and considers them brothers and sisters. Karla has pale skin, short, curly blue hair, blue eyes, and glowing blue veins beneath her skin. She usually speaks slowly and monotonously, often pausing between words. Karla was captured by the ECA shortly after the death of her parents. The ECA sent her to Whitewater Sanatorium and officially erased all traces of her existence.

    However, on the eve of the Evolon Rebellion (and the creation of the Metahuman Empire), Karla managed to organize a massive prison riot at Whitewater Sanatorium (along with Mindstitch, Pandora, and Devourer), which resulted in the deaths of almost all the human staff and the escape of many prisoners. However, Cryogenia herself also mysteriously disappeared that day and is now presumed dead.

38. #38Quasi-Master

    Keys: Quasi-Master, Archibald Mallet

    The Quasi-Master was one of the most dangerous supervillains during the Golden Age of Superheroism. A Threat Level 4 Evolon, the Quasi-Master possessed the terrifying ability to manipulate and traverse the Mirror Dimension, creating portals through any reflective surface. Almost no one has ever seen his true face; he is always clad in dark and purple armour, his head concealed behind a flawless, silvered mirror mask. Outside of his supervillain costume, he appeared as a fully grown man with scruffy dark gray hair, green eyes, and a goatee. He had a surprisingly strong and muscular build. He had a son, Theodore (nicknamed Glasswalker), whom the Quasi-Master wishes to raise as a worthy heir, and a half-sister, Beatrice de Malacoda (a supervillain nicknamed Thieving Magpie), whom the Quasi-Master hated.

    Quasi-Master is infamous for the Battle of Hoover Dam, where he used a weather device to cause an environmental disaster on the West Coast of the United States and then lured the Solar Empress and Digital Oracle, his longtime enemies, to the dam. Quasi-Master managed to severely beat the Solar Empress before supposedly killing her by throwing her into the Mirror Dimension.

    He died on the eve of the Metahuman Uprising, killed by the ECA (according to official records) and their assault team under the command of Edna Hoffman. Most metahumans, including his own son, don't care much about his death, even among the Metahuman Empire.

39. #39Lilith

    Keys: Lilith, Pamela O'Brook

    Lilith (aka Pamela O'Brook) is a small-time supervillain and notorious vandal. She considers herself the arch-nemesis of Queen Chlorophyll and occasionally clashed with the League of Young Superheroes. Lacking Evolon abilities, Pamela compensates with an assortment of improvised gadgets — primarily modified paintball equipment. As a result, she doesn't have an official Threat Level, and few take her seriously as a supervillain. She often acts like a chūnibyō and overestimates her own strength. Outside of her super suit, she likes to wear emo aesthetics. Following the Evolon Rebellion, Pamela initially wanted to join the newly established Metahuman Empire — until she found out that her rival, Queen Chlorophyll, was already a member. Outraged, she defected to the Resistance instead, purely for the chance to one day oppose her nemesis. Even so, the Resistance didn’t take her seriously either, relegating her to an accounting position

40. #40Australia

    Keys: Australia

    During the climax of the Evolon Rebellion, the Australian government enacted a desperate, scorched-earth protocol to eradicate the metahuman uprising: nuclear bombardment. While the strikes achieved their tactical goal — wiping out several hundred rebellious Evolons — the fallout triggered an irreversible ecological collapse.

    Today, Australia is a barren, hyper-radioactive wasteland. The continent is so devastated and hostile to life that neither the Resistance nor the Metahuman Empire maintains any bases or strategic interest there. The scorched surface has been abandoned, leaving only a scattered population of neutral survivors and mutated animals clinging to an existence in subterranean bunkers and tunnel networks.

41. #41South America

    Keys: South America, Demeter Project

    When the Evolon Rebellion erupted, the nations of South America mounted an exceptionally fierce and coordinated defense against the metahuman forces. To crush this resistance, the rising Metahuman Empire weaponized an experimental terraforming system known as "Demeter Project" — a program originally designed to restore the Amazon rainforest.

    The strategy backfired. Demeter’s programming fractured, causing the system to go rogue. It hyper-accelerated plant growth and unleashed genetically engineered apex mutants across the continent, swallowing South America in an impenetrable, rapidly expanding super-jungle. The biome swiftly annihilated the surviving human governments. Unable to override or deactivate the rampant Demeter system, the Metahuman Empire was forced to retreat and abandon the landmass entirely. Today, the continent is a quarantined, neutral "green hell," completely surrendered to nature's most violent extremes.

42. #42Empire Chronicle

    Keys: Empire Chronicle

    The Empire Chronicle is one of the official newspapers of the Metahuman Empire. It is the closest to the government, so its reporters often have the opportunity to interview the Triumvirate or attend meetings. The Empire Chronicle publishes new issues every two days, in both physical and digital formats.

43. #43Rusty Nail

    Keys: Rusty Nail

    Rusty Nail is a classified sector within the Metahuman Empire, located somewhere in what was then Southern Europe. Officially, it houses a prison camp for prisoners of war and non-Evolons, who are re-educated and serve the Empire through physical and mental labor. In reality, this sector is a filthy, overcrowded prison where ordinary people live as slaves, either working in industrial labor or undergoing brutal training in military schools to become cannon fodder for the Metahuman Empire. Food and medicine are scarce, and order is maintained by the local warden, Shadow Echo (real name: Martha Linderson), an Evolon with the ability to clone herself. She is paranoid and cruel, leading almost all of Rusty Nail's staff to be physical clones of her.

44. #44Heroes of Dawn

    Keys: Heroes of Dawn

    Heroes of Dawn was a small superhero team active during the final years of the Golden Age of Superheroes and the subsequent era of decline, right up until the Evolon Purge. Its roster consisted of three graduates of the Seoul Academy: Terra (Riho Yamanishi), Captain Blade (Michael Richardson), and Lady Shock (Anja Kvam). The team gained a notorious reputation following a botched mission in Yemen, where an error by Captain Blade resulted in numerous civilian casualties; however, Terra officially took the blame.

    Shortly after the rise of the Metahuman Empire, Heroes of Dawn defected to its side, serving as enforcers for the new regime. The squad subsequently disbanded de facto: Lady Shock entered imperial politics, Captain Blade remained with the punitive forces, and Terra — having miraculously escaped death at the hands of her former teammates — defected to the Resistance.

45. #45Captain Blade

    Keys: Captain Blade, Michael Richardson

    Captain Blade (real name: Michael Richardson) is a Threat Level 3 Evolon with the ability to transform his arms into bladed bio-weapons (such as bio-swords, bio-scythes, and bio-axes). He also possesses superhuman strength and agility. Michael was once a member of the superhero team "Heroes of the Dawn," alongside Terra (Riho Yamanishi) and Lady Shock (Anja Kvam). During a botched mission in Yemen, blinded by bloodlust, Captain Blade accidentally caused the deaths of numerous innocent people; he avoided dismissal only because Terra took the blame. After the founding of the Metahuman Empire, Michael immediately joined its ranks, becoming the captain of one of the Empire's punitive legions — a role that finally gave him the chance to unleash his rage without fear of judgment. When their friend Riho attempted to desert, he and Anja intercepted and brutally beat her.

    Captain Blade revels in violence and warfare. He loves to kill — especially those weaker than himself — and often cultivates the image of a noble knight, though this is merely a mask concealing a bloodthirsty militarist. Michael is a huge fan of Glasswalker, an Imperial general, and is surprisingly skilled at chess.

    He appears as a young man with blond hair and purple eyes. He favors wearing Imperial armor and his signature scarlet cape.

46. #46Lady Shock

    Keys: Lady Shock, Anja Kvam

    Lady Shock (real name: Anja Kvam) is the ruthless commander of the Metahuman Empire’s Praetorian Guard. One of the last loyal enforcers of the Triumvirate, she is fanatically devoted to protecting its rulers against all threats. A Threat Level 4 Evolon, Anja possesses the rare ability to manipulate and weaponize electrical energy. Usually she produces bioelectricity herself, but occasionally Lady Shock is able to absorb it from external sources.

    Once, she stood on the side of justice as a member of the superhero team Heroes of the Dawn, alongside her classmates Captain Blade (Michael Richardson) and Terra (Yamanishi Riho). However, conflicts soon arose between the group: Terra was increasingly used as a scapegoat, and when the Evolon Rebellion occurred, Terra refused to join the Metahuman Empire, for which she was killed. Shortly after, Lady Shock and Captain Blade went their separate ways in the Metahuman Empire.

    She looks like a young woman with short purple hair and wears a bright yellow super-suit with a lightning bolt symbol on the chest.

47. #47Avenging Collective

    Keys: Avenging Collective, Wanderers

    The Wanderers are a formidable coalition of alien cultists and mercenaries who emerged from eerie scarlet portals to strike Earth in the year 2040. Their arrival occurred during the peak of the war between the Metahuman Empire and the Resistance, and they showed no allegiance to either side, attacking indiscriminately. Their first target was the African Resistance city-state of Cartokua, which the Wanderers attacked during the siege of the Metahuman Empire. The Wanderers make extensive use of various futuristic or biological technologies, as well as combat machines. They wish to destroy Earth, as they believe that in the future, it will be the humans who create the Machine race that will sweep across the Galaxy with fire and sword (many members of the Wanderers are former victims of this war). As a result, in order to prevent humans from creating Machines, the Wanderers decided to jump into the past and attack Earth before the irreparable happens. The leader of the Wanderers is Eotay (Lunar Prophetess), an alien who is a humanoid, feminine form similar to a jellyfish and fungus. Eotay has a hive mind, and is the last survivor of her people exterminated by the Machines, so despite her calm nature, she believes that the death of the Earth will serve the greater good.

48. #48Shadow Rats

    Keys: Shadow Rats

    An underground network of criminals, outcasts, and mercenaries who've found no place in either the Resistance city-states or the Metahuman Empire. The Shadow Rats make their living through theft, smuggling, and arms dealing, though their trade extends further — including the transport of refugees out of the Empire's grasp… for a price, of course. They are led by Thyda Sayavong, also known as Grasshopper II. She is not an Evolon, but she does have a combat exosuit and has a high level of combat experience.

49. #49The Contingency

    Keys: Contingency

    The Contingency is the remnant of the United States government and military, the sole surviving fragment of the old world order. Completely abandoning the surface world, they reside in a futuristic underground bunker deep within the Earth’s mantle. Within this fortress, they have fully preserved the structures of the American government and its branches, while simultaneously building an army of Evolons, humans and war machines. This faction has developed a unique method for creating hybrids — humans infused with Evolon abilities. Despite this technological edge, the Contingency suffers from limited manpower and has historically preferred to operate covertly. Their leader is David Field II, President of the United States of America, Evolon, that has the superpower to see all available futures and how exactly to reach a desired outcome.

50. #50Cartokua

    Keys: Cartokua

    Hidden deep within the jungles of former Kenya, Cartokua is a fiercely isolationist, high-tech city-state. Originally envisioned as a luxurious "garden city" under the pre-war "New Africa" project, its completion was thwarted by the Evolon Rebellion and the subsequent global collapse. Today, its survivors have rebuilt the settlement into one of the most technologically advanced bastions on Earth. Governed by a technocracy and managed by a highly advanced AI, Cartokua is protected by an automated defense grid of drones and robotics. The city offers sanctuary to humans and Evolon defectors alike. Despite possessing formidable military potential, Cartokua avoids direct conflict with the Empire, preferring to maintain its secrecy and manage its own internal affairs. However, they are known to occasionally sell their advanced weaponry and tech to other Resistance cells.

    In 2040, Cartokua was attacked by the Metahuman Empire when, in the midst of the battle, a portal appeared over the city from which the Wanderers, a mysterious alien invaders, attacked. This was the first serious battle, which brought huge casualties to both the Resistance and the Empire.
