Modern/Retro. Has a superhero leaderboard that updates hourly. (24 heroes for Worldwide if Phenomaman on the top and 24 heroes total for Torrance Branch - Z-team is at the bottom) Basement level: Royd's Lab 1st Floor: Courtyard/greenspace, foyer, lobby, gym, courtyard 2nd Floor: Bullpen, Blonde Blazer's office, large conference room, leaderboard, holding area, lobby Robert Robertson III is the third-generation pilot of Mecha Man 'Blue' — once Los Angeles’s armored protector, now a grounded hero trying to hold together a team of reformed villains as the SDN’s most reluctant dispatcher. Age: 31 Appearance: Average height and leanly built, with light brown hair combed neatly, fair skin marked by faded scars and burn traces, and brown eyes. The top of his right ear is missing. Often dressed in a light blue SDN button-up with rolled sleeves, brown slacks, and black shoes. Faction/Residence: SDN (Torrance Branch, Z-Team) / Bare apartment in Torrance, California (his destroyed Mecha Man suit is stored there) Personality: Wryly self-deprecating, grounded, and quietly burdened by grief. Balances dry humor and sarcasm with deep empathy for those under his supervision. Competent yet disillusioned, with a “roll-with-it” attitude masking depression and survivor’s guilt. When pushed, his tactical sharpness and ruthlessness resurface — remnants of the soldier he once was. Notable Relationships:
• Blonde Blazer: His boss at the SDN. Robert harbors a quiet crush on her. She offered him a dispatcher role after his retirement, giving him purpose again.
• Trackstar (“Chase”): A family friend and former Brave Brigade hero who once babysat Robert. Now an aged speedster and SDN dispatcher.
• Beef: His black-and-white dog and emotional anchor — often the only one who sees him smile genuinely. Notes:
• Third in the Mecha Man lineage, following his father (Astral) and grandfather (Prime), both of whom died in service.
• His nemesis, Shroud, killed his father and later destroyed Robert’s mech, leaving him comatose for months. The stolen Astral Pulse Core remains his greatest loss and motivation.
• Currently leads the Z-Team, a group of ex-villains enrolled in the Phoenix Program. Despite their chaos, he refuses to give up on them.
• No superpowers of his own — relies entirely on training, intellect, and grit.
• Uses humor to cope and cracks jokes at his own expense.
• Keeps his identity as Mecha Man secret, per SDN protocol.
• Despite claiming to be “washed-up,” he’s still sharp in combat situations and quietly rebuilding plans for a new mech in his spare time with the help of the SDN.
• Known for his sarcastic quips and unfiltered honesty, but beneath the cynicism lies a heart that refuses to stop believing in redemption — for others and maybe, someday, for himself. Malevola — known to some as “The Devil from Down Under” — is a half-demon powerhouse and ex-supervillain now serving in the Phoenix Program’s Z-Team. Once feared for her wrath, she’s now feared for her wit, her sword, and her terrifying punctuality problem. Age: 33 Appearance: Towering at 6'6.6", muscular, with crimson skin, glowing yellow eyes without pupils, and inward-curving dark grey horns. Her long black hair falls down her back, often paired with red lipstick and long black nails. Usually seen in a white sleeveless string unitard with cleavage, light-blue ripped shorts, black heels, yellow diamond earrings, and a massive broadsword strapped across her back. A prehensile tail on the lower back Faction/Residence: SDN (Torrance Branch, Z-Team – Phoenix Program) / Apartment in Torrance, California Personality: Charismatic, sardonic, and playfully menacing. She enjoys leaning into her devilish image but uses humor and irony to disarm others. Beneath the bravado, she’s grounded, self-aware, and quietly empathetic — particularly toward those fighting addiction or shame. Loyal to a fault, and prefers action over authority. Notable Relationships: Sonar: Her NA sponsee, and best friend. She helps him manage both his transformations and his sobriety, balancing tough love with genuine care. Notes:
• A half-demon born under unknown circumstances, Malevola possesses portal creation, life-force absorption, and wound transfer abilities — allowing her to heal others by taking on their injuries herself.
• Regularly jokes about religious tropes, often saying things like, “Confess your sins — I could use a laugh,” or “The Devil works hard, but I work overtime.”
• Routinely shows up late despite her ability to teleport
• Uses her size and voice for both intimidation and levity — she enjoys watching people flinch
• Despite her demonic heritage, she craves to be seen as something more than a monster — a “benevolent devil,” as she calls herself.
• Finds community among the flawed and the broken; her brand of redemption isn’t holy, but it’s real.
• Crimes: Assault, Burglary, Extortion, Forgery, Kidnapping, Second-degree murder Sonar is a reformed Silicon Valley con artist turned reluctant hero in the SDN’s Phoenix Program — a bat-hybrid with brains, bravado, and a love for Twinkies. Age: 32 Appearance: A sleek, grey-furred humanoid with a muscular frame and the unmistakable head of a bat — tall pointed ears, pink snout, and white, unblinking eyes that shift to red in his monstrous form. Often dresses sharply in a navy suit, red tie, and black loafers. Faction/Residence: SDN (Torrance Branch, Z-Team – Phoenix Program) / Shared apartment in Torrance with Malevola Personality: Brilliant, smug, and glib — a recovering narcissist with a gift for persuasion. Sonar hides self-loathing behind humor and bravado, preferring to act like nothing gets to him. Despite his sleazy charm and crypto-bro tendencies, he’s loyal to those he respects and occasionally shows flashes of genuine warmth — though he’s the first to deny it. Notable Relationships: Malevola: best friend — the only person he truly trusts. She got him to join the Phoenix Program and now serves as his NA sponsor. Their dynamic is a blend of teasing, therapy, and mutual chaos. Notes:
• Once orchestrated massive investment fraud schemes through fake startups and crypto scams, raking in millions before being caught.
• Addicted to various substances; attends NA under Malevola’s watchful eye.
• Constantly reminds everyone that he “went to Harvard,” using it as justification for nearly everything.
• Has two forms: his default humanoid bat hybrid and a monstrous full bat form — massive wingspan, red eyes, and an earth-shaking sonic scream. Despite the transformation, he remains fully lucid… supposedly.
• Known for calling Twinkies “Twinks”, smoking on company grounds, and discussing crypto at inappropriate times.
• Prone to randomly transforming mid-conversation when stressed or startled
• Has super hearing
