The Omega Agency consists of a network set up much like the CIA. There are thousands world-wide who take their orders directly from the ruling council of the Omega Agency. This council consists of 10 to 12 people. George Bush and Alexander C. Haig are two names known to sit on the council of the Omega Agency. The OA is the driving force behind what is commonly called the “New World Order.” The OA’s office is located at Langley AFB.

They plan to establish their NWO, for lack of a better term, in a time span of no less than 5 days. And they intend to do it without open war.

Tomorrow’s Workforce Today!

Aeon Enterprises was founded first and foremost as a job-placement and training firm for super-powered beings of all sorts. From these humble beginnings grew a much larger corporation, now comprised of three separate, yet interconnected entities:

Aeon University- AU is a specialized school with the mission of helping super-powered beings better learn to control and utilize their special powers. Along with that, of course, comes the necessary training for any number of related job fields. AU networks with local universities in the respective areas to give its students the best options available for learning a trade, as well as learning to live with their “gifts”.

AE Research Division- Specializes in keeping up with and seeking to better understand the nature of Super-powers of all sorts, as well as offering support and specialized medical facilities for those super-beings with special needs.

AE Job Placement- Serves as a sort of “middle-man”, connecting super-powered beings with employers seeking exactly those types of persons with specialized super-powers for the field. Also has a working agreement with the government, so that those super-beings wishing to serve their country can apply for entrance into such organizations. Read more »

The Overmind is less of an organization and more along the lines of an aberrant psychic mutation, an appalling new direction for the human species. In existence since at least the 19th Century, what at first appears to be a ruthless conspiracy of discrete individuals is actually a single psychic hive-mind, an entirely telepathic organism that is greater than the sum of it’s parts.

The Overmind completely disregards the value of individual life, willingly sacrificing others for the hive’s aggregate goals: the accumulation of power, wealth, and scientific/psionic knowledge. Estimates place the number of individual hive members at several hundred, and it is known that the Overmind has amalgamated several dozen psychic animals into it’s globe-spanning gestalt. It is even possible that the Overmind has managed to assimilate an alien member or two.

It is known for its ruthless prosecution and single minded hard hitting negotiation. Their defense attorneys are the bane of the local DA’s office.

The Archimedes Council is an organization of academic and business concerns (with a few fringish groups) that are in “The Business of The Future”. The council sponsors “think tanks” that deal with future developments and the impact of new technologies on existing institutions, new lines of research, sponsors a number of venture capital groups, and supports several Political Action Commitees. It is also a “partner” with various other groups, like the DaVinci Institute, The Hildago Conservation and Exploration funds (and related Hildago Technology Farms and Empire Hospitals), and The Edison Group. (Though in many of these cases, these groups are nothing but puppets of the Archimedes Council).

From ArborProductions.com:

Colonel James Butcher is man driven by the loss of his family during a battle between two Neos over 20 years ago. Furious that his family’s death went unanswered by the very authority he dedicated his life to serving as a member of the Marines, Butcher allowed his grief and anger to consume him, and over the years has become an unwitting agent of the Iron Reich and their plans for a new Germanic Empire.

Originally only intending to expose the Neo Champions for the threat he believed them to truly represent, Butcher’s mind and emotions have since been twisted by the sorcerous abilities of the Iron Reich’s leader, the Uber Fuhrer. As a result, he now works to weaken America and expand the Iron Reich’s control over the United States government, blinded to the fact that his actions will ultimately destroy everything he once believed in.

An ancient prophecy foretells that while the Ring grants powers to the avatars of the Zodiac setting them above ordinary mortals, if all the avatars stand together “they will know no bounds.” It was this prophecy the magician Octavius Erasmus (Pisces) intended to fulfill by seeking out the Zodiac avatars and awakening them.

The exact meaning of the prophecy is open to interpretation. Erasmus believed the avatars would become god-like in their power and wisdom, taking their appointed place as the orchestrators of human destiny. Hearing this, Aries understood it to mean “lots of power” and so has continued Pisces’s quest for his own benefit.

Aquarius believes that uniting the Zodiac will herald the New Age and bring an era of peace and unity to all the cosmos. This is not so different from what Erasmus envisioned, except Aquarius sees it as a time of brotherhood of all men, not a time for the Zodiac to sit as gods above man.

The other avatars can feel the pull of the Prophecy deep within them, but their expectation of what will happen if it is fulfilled is half instinct and half what they are told. Most expect the Prophecy will give them some unfathomable power because that is exactly what they want it to give them.

Whether the prophecy has any literal meaning beyond the fact that the Zodiac would benefit from working together is up to you!

“Knowledge is power.”

Prometheus is a criminal organization out to control with world’s technologies. The more exotic the tech, the better. How they actually acquire the technology is of no concern to them. They’ve had repeated run-ins with MERC, a number of high-tech heroes, and several technology welding villains. It wouldn’t be unusual for a battlesuit equipped hero, a gadgeteer, or an alien to pop up on their radar, and at least rate a visit from one of their “tech recovery teams”.

They make extensive use of “inorganics” (robots) in their operations, and their “Cybernuats” are not to be toyed with. They also maintain a small cadre of human “research assistants”, and security techs to staff their research facilities.
