A normal day working for the US Government in DC Comics Universe...

Nothing to see here folks, just a pair of zombies getting ordered by an alien who looks like to a Japanese schoolgirl to go and fight Satan-possessed robots in San Jose.

Just another day at the office.

Finally! I’ve found a name for a third faction in my Next Gen CS fic

They are the Society of Hidden and Deadly Extremes, also known as “S.H.A.D.E.” The premise of the organization is that they have noble intentions aligning that of ACME and Team Red’s but have no qualms in employing murder in carrying out their goals, similar to V.I.L.E.’s except one of their tenets strictly forbids harming and involving the innocent. 

Their profession is mostly bounty hunting and assassination, although the contracts they have processed with the latter is restricted to inhumane targets such as certain criminals or V.I.L.E. agents. They are cool if these targets are under authorities but should they manage to escape, it is expected a hit is placed on them.

Outside of their morally-dubious services, S.H.A.D.E. is a patron for archaeology and history, going with the front of “Society of Historical and Archaeological Discoveries & Excavations” that genuinely supports aspiring archaeologists and historians all around the world. In addition to keeping innocent lives away from their jobs, S.H.A.D.E. operatives are expected to return any stolen items back to the nearest outpost or bureau to ensure if it’s the real deal.

S.H.A.D.E. sees V.I.L.E. needing extermination, A.C.M.E. as a nuisance, and are neutral towards Carmen for now.

Origin

The beautiful daughter of the late Senator Henry Knight, Stormy Knight could have settled for the comfortable life of a debutante, but instead decided to pursue the more exciting life of a superhero.

S.H.A.D.E.

With her Black Light Bands granting her intangibility, she took on the mantle of Phantom Lady, which had been left vacant by the death of Dee Tyler and enlisted with S.H.A.D.E., run by Father Time. She began her career guarding Bludhaven, which had just been hit by Chemo, causing a number of its inhabitants to mutate.

Though not particularly impressed with some of her teammates, like the simple minded Bigfoot or the misogynistic Major Force, Stormy served well enough that she was moved to S.H.A.D.E.'s semi-black ops unit. Though she projected the image of a spoiled, vacuous princess, Stormy was secretly watching S.H.A.D.E.'s actions on her father's behalf. Unfortunately, Father Time found out and had Senator Knight covertly killed and replaced by Gonzo the Mechanical Bastard.

Freedom Fighters

Sent to capture Uncle Sam, Stormy and her teammates ended up joining him, and helped him to rescue Firebrand. They later recruited John Trujillo, the latest incarnation of the Black Condor, after which point Uncle Sam revealed to Stormy that her father was dead and being impersonated by Gonzo. When she later found out that this was true, Stormy was devastated and combined with manipulation by a fake Miss America, this led to her having trouble accessing her powers, though she overcame this with help from the Black Condor, and later joined the reorganized Freedom Fighters.

Recently, Stormy has suffered from a serious drinking problem, and has been sequestered in the Heartland for rehabilitation. where Uncle Sam tells her she won't leave until her habit has been kicked. Stormy later slits her wrists, but is found in time by Doll Man. Miss America removes all the toxins from her systems, allowing her to recuperate better.

S.H.A.D.E

a contraction of superhuman hazard assessment and defense effort, S.H.A.D.E is a branch of government implemented a decade and a half ago as a response to the presence of costumed vigilantes and superhuman individuals. originally envisioned as a means to protect the public from these individuals, in recent years it has developed a more moderate approach, focusing its attentions on those that use their abilities for criminal activity.

originally based in washington DC, they relocated to horizon city in their early years due to the perceived increased threat level there and have maintained their offices in the center of the city ever since. they also own a number of waterfront high-security warehouses and a containment facility at an undisclosed location where they house both individuals and a number of confiscated and recovered artifacts and objects.

S.H.A.D.E is led by their director, with the assistance of a deputy director that serves as their right hand, and a board of senior 'executive' agents, veteran agents of the organization that directly oversee different areas of S.H.A.D.E on behalf of the director. the main body of the organization consists of its agents, though it also employs a large number of scientists, engineers, and other advisers to assist them. 

S.H.A.D.E is divided into x divisions, each overseen by an executive agent. they are as follows:

field division

this division operates in the field wherever they are needed in order to combat direct superhuman threats, investigate potential ones, liaise and monitor 'positive' superhuman and vigilante groups and individuals, and apprehend individuals and objects deemed to be a danger

security division

the security division oversees the overall wellbeing of the organization, protecting their headquarters and associated buildings and the people and objects contained within. they also monitor the prisoners contained within, and can be deployed as reinforcements to aid the field division if needed

R&D division

consisting largely of engineers and other brilliant technological minds, the R&D division are tasked with researching and understanding technology recovered by the field division, and re-purposing the designs or creating new technology in order to aid both agents and S.H.A.D.E as a whole

science division

made up of some of the best scientists on offer, the science division perform a similar function to the R&D division, but aimed at scientific fields as opposed to technological ones. they also study and test many of the superhumans apprehended by the organization in order to better understand how to combat them

occult division

experts in magic and the supernatural, the occult division was formed in order to combat the threat posed by magic users and beings and to understand and safely contain the occult objects and artefacts recovered by S.H.A.D.E. it also employs the largest number of supernatural individuals due to their abilities to utilize magic
