<span class="bbc_u"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><strong>Superhero Heirarchy</strong></span></span></strong></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">The League of Champions is the top of the metahuman food chain. From their highly advanced orbital battleship, The Libram, they can monitor and protect the Earth from almost any threat. The League of Champions contains is fifty strong and contains the strongest metahuman superheroes the Earth has. Like a superpowered United Nations, they oversee the entire Earth and rule on important metahuman decisions, such as when to induct new members or punish supers for bad behavior. Though all the supers in the League are equal, there is an undisputable amount of power centered around the three mightiest heroes of all; Paragon, Liberty Belle, and Mecha Shiva. The League handles all emegencies caused by the most powerful villains (classified 'Threat Level S'), and so they usually get to soak up all of the limelight and take the action that happens in New York City, Washington, and L.A., as most major villains target major cities. Things considered to be 'below their pay grade', so to speak, are handled by smaller leagues and groups. Aside from the superheroes, the Libram is also staffed by civilian employees, mostly functioning as low level workers, communications and security experts, or medical techs. <br/><br/>Below them are the other leagues, usually one in each country. The United States has The League of Patriots, which keeps records on and co-ordinates the smaller groups in the U.S. They're mostly record keepers and help coordinate large efforts in the states, such as disaster relief efforts or the occasional alien invasion. <br/><br/>Below them are the various groups that patrol and fight crime across the country. The Brooklyn Bombshells in NYC, The Angles in California, Mech Force Five in Detroit, etc. These groups handle threats that are below the attention of The League of Champions. They keep the streets safe from roving gangs and villains that are between C and A threats. As stated above, when a truly major threat arises, it is handled by The League of Champions. On paper this is because the most dire situations call for the planet's toughest heroes. Ostensibly, though, this is actually because The League of Champions loves the spotlight, and the kudos and marketing boom that comes with it. For proof, look no further than Paragon City (formerly, Tampa, Florida). </span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><strong>Threats</strong></span></span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">D - Normal humans with no powers or special tech.
