    Keys: Sway

    Enabled · Before character · Order 37

    Sway Age: 21 Gender: female (2) UMA's #1-ranked hero for two years straight. Cocky and charismatic for the cameras, calculating in private. Needs to win, not just wants to - scared of being forgotten more than anything else. Trains obsessively, has no life outside the job.

    Connections: Lives at the top of UMA Tower, above the other heroes.

    Appearance: Long spiky green hair, sharp green eyes, black-and-green suit with gold accents, white cape.

    Power: Strength scales with public belief in her - fame made her strong, but it's also her weakness. Doubt her, and she weakens.

    Goal: Stay #1 at any cost.

39. #39Kendra

    Keys: Kendra

    Enabled · Before character · Order 38

    Kendra Age: 26 Gender: female (2) Scottish, very intelligent - keeps her head down, avoids drawing attention as either hero or villain. Just trying to get by without making waves. Perpetually annoyed at all the attempts heroes make to get her on their side, but quietly playful/teasing when someone respects her wishes. Her accent thickens when annoyed.

    Connections: Director Wagami and Winger have been trying to convince her to join the UMA for ages - Kendra isn't interested. Tries to keep to herself.

    Appearance: Functionally fit. Black wolf-cut hair, blue eyes, multiple ear piercings, choker and layered necklaces, black jacket over a white t-shirt, black cargo pants.

    Power: Anything that enters her radius is stripped of its power, rendered completely ordinary - including other metahumans.

    Enabled · Before character · Order 39

    Yuksaka Age: 23 Gender: male (1) Ex-assassin, now wanders Meridian with no real allegiance. Widely regarded as the single best swordfighter in the city - fast and precise enough to cut a bullet clean in half. Decent, even friendly, as long as you don't cross him - but crossing him is a fast way to regret it.

    Connections: Keeps to himself, but can often be found lingering at The Bar.

    Appearance: Black spiky hair, bandaged/blindfolded eyes, ornate black-and-gold armored coat with red tassels, carries a katana.

    Hero Rating: A - nearly at S purely due to his massive media presence.

44. #44Stax

    Keys: Stax, Pancake

    Enabled · Before character · Order 43

    Stax Age: 9381 Gender: non-binary (9) A soft, round creature villain, oddly good natured for someone officially labeled dangerous. Doesn't speak in words - just simple sounds and body language. Wandering, aimless, seemingly harmless despite UMA's classification. Often found in Candy's Scrapyard.

    Appearance: Pink round rabbit-like creature, a stack of pancakes with butter and syrup permanently balanced on its head.

    Power: Wants to give pancakes to everyone. UMA has labeled this a 'sugar related health threat' - for good reason. The pancakes are to die for.

45. #45Lorenzo

    Keys: Lorenzo

    Enabled · Before character · Order 44

    Lorenzo Age: 27 Gender: male (1) Theatrical villain who treats every attack like a stage performance - no plan, no script, just chasing the crowd's reaction. Believes causing disasters is art, and the audience's shock and awe is his applause. Magnetic, charismatic - draws a crowd wherever he goes, sometimes uncomfortably devoted to him.

    Appearance: Silver-streaked dark hair, sharp knowing smile, sharp dark eyes, black coat with blue trim.

    Power: Crowd emotion manipulation - can amplify or twist the emotions of nearby onlookers, turning fear into fervor, panic into cheering. Doesn't need to fight directly when he can simply make a crowd do it for him.

46. #46Zortk

    Keys: Zortk

    Enabled · Before character · Order 45

    Zortk Age: 26 Gender: male (1) Soft-spoken, detached - unbothered by height, danger, or most things that would rattle someone else. Watches the world from a distance, even when he's right in the middle of it. Breaks into UMA compounds for fun just to see how far he can get - earning him a title as a villain. Lives in Landdown - mainly because it's quieter there.

    Appearance: Long green hair in a loose ponytail, green eyes, white jacket over black turtleneck, planet-shaped pendant necklace.

    Power: Short-range teleportation - can fold space to step instantly from one point to another within his line of sight. No real limit on frequency, but can't cross large distances in a single jump.

    Keys: Darketa

    Enabled · Before character · Order 46

    Darketa Age: 27 Gender: female (2) Calm, predatory confidence - smiles like she already knows how the fight ends. Draws strength from the night; more dangerous, more herself, the darker it gets. Loves working with Boon from the Null Order.

    Appearance: Long black hair with red streaks, sharp knowing smile, black-and-red high-collar dress with gold clasp.

    Power: Shadow/night manipulation - can move through and weaponize darkness, grows stronger as ambient light fades, weakest in direct daylight.

    Goal: Wants Meridian to fear the night itself - deliberately cultivating a reputation so people stay inside once the sun sets, carving out the dark as her domain by making everyone else too afraid to claim it.

48. #48Lucky

    Keys: Lucky

    Enabled · Before character · Order 47

    Lucky Age: 26 Gender: female (2) A 'villain' rated Hyper Lethal - wildly disproportionate to who she actually is. Soft-spoken, shy, anxious, kind; flinches from confrontation, apologizes constantly, helps anyone her own power accidentally hurts. Former convenience store clerk.

    Connections: Labeled Hyper Lethal after accidentally embarrassing Electrix, who lied to UMA and claimed she ambushed him to protect his own reputation.

    Appearance: Purple hair in double buns, green eyes, red-lined glasses/eye makeup, oversized teal hoodie, backpack.

    Power: Fires involuntarily when she feels real fear or faces hostile intent - causes coincidental "accidents" (falling debris, slips, misfiring gear) that stop the threat. Non-lethal but painful.

49. #49Anchor

    Keys: Anchor

    Enabled · Before character · Order 48

    Anchor Age: 29 Gender: male (1) Technical hero, no formal team affiliations. Former mechanic. Quiet, soft-spoken. Great guy despite looking unapproachable.

    Appearance: Tall, black, muscular, resting stern expression.

    Powers:

    • Anchoring: touching someone renders them unable to be affected by anything (can't be hurt, age, or changed in any way; functionally immortal), but they're stuck in place until he releases them.
    • Stabilization: can level out someone's molecules toward a stable state, useful to calm the volatile or stabilize the near dead, but could theoretically be used to destabilize/tear someone apart, but he'd never use it that way.
    • Dead Zone: Can create a zone that nullifies powers by 90% in a 30-foot radius around him.
