Within an alternate dimension parallel to the one we know, there exists an alternate Earth very similar to our own with a uniquely distinct difference: it is inhabited by numerous superpowered individuals - a planet absolutely brimming with both superheroes and super villains alike. And at the very heart of it all is a massive megalopolis called Utopia City that serves as the headquarters for the majority of this Earth's heroes and villains. Here in Utopia City, nearly each and every day is a battle between the forces of good and evil. The normal, non-powered citizens of this city have adapted to their environment and have learned to rely on their heroes often even when it comes to the most mundane of tasks. Due to the large population of supers residing within Utopia City, the city's government has established a law requiring that all superheroes must obtain an official license in order to continue their superhero lifestyles. Most superheroes comply while others turn to villainy instead. The superheroes that exist now in Utopia City work hard every day to keep the world a safe place for the non-powered humans.

However, some superheroes don't find the need to work as hard as others. Enter S.U.P.E.D.: the Super Union of Powerful Earth Defenders. This peculiar team of superheroes is officially recognized as the strongest heroes alive today. In those tasks and challenges where other heroes have failed, S.U.P.E.D. succeeds with flying colors. Even against the strongest of super villains so far, given enough time, S.U.P.E.D. has managed to defeat them. They truly are Earth's most powerful defenders. However, there's one glaring issue regarding the members of S.U.P.E.D.: they aren't exactly role models when it comes to being heroes. When the world needs help from S.U.P.E.D., its members need to be appropriately compensated for their work and this usually comes in the form of large sums of money. Despite their "superhero" statuses, the members of S.U.P.E.D. are mostly in it for themselves and their needs above all else. They may not be the bad guys but they sure are a bunch of assholes, at least that's how most normal people and other superheroes view them.

But while S.U.P.E.D. is loathed, their reputation for getting the job done is unrivaled by any other individual hero or team. Time and time again, S.U.P.E.D. has proven itself capable of accomplishing the "impossible" - a term used by superheroes who are consequently not members of S.U.P.E.D. But as time goes on, super villains seem to get increasingly more powerful and difficult to deal with. How will the world fare when, one day, a threat arrives that will prove to be too much, even for the members of S.U.P.E.D.? For now, at least the world can rest easy knowing S.U.P.E.D. is there to defend it (for the right price anyways).

Adam Every is a young man standing at a height of approximately 180 cm (5'11") and weighing in at about 76 kg (167 lbs). He has pale skin, grey eyes, and medium-length, orange-blonde hair that he wears in no particular style. He possesses a notable muscular physique and is, overall, fairly handsome to boot. Although, even despite his age, Adam could still pass for someone in their late teens; a fact that he finds unfavorable. Outside of his superhero costume, Adam prefers to dress in a casual T-shirt and jeans along with various, expensive sneakers. He will also at times dress in black slacks along with a sport coat over his tee. Ultiman's hero costume is pictured above. Interestingly, the large circular lenses on the chest portion of his costume lights up in a path to create a golden "U" insignia. In addition, he wears matching red leather, spandex pants, red and gold boots, and, oftentimes, a dark red cape with a golden "U" insignia on the back of the cape. He also wears a red eye mask to hide his identity.

Adam - and subsequently, Ultiman - is an arrogant, self-interested person who is lacking in many moral aspects that one would expect of a superhero. He places his personal needs before that of the normal people of Earth and, as with the other members of S.U.P.E.D., won't involve himself in any heroics without knowing that he'll be compensated appropriately. Adam makes it a habit to mock superpowered individuals who are inferior to him - both heroes and villains alike. Even when paid to do a job, if he finds the task uninteresting, he will usually hang back and let the other members of S.U.P.E.D. do the work or just do it half-assed, even carelessly. If it's uninteresting enough, Adam will even resolve to taking a nap and ignoring his job until he's pestered into doing it. Against challenges however, Adam easily becomes excitable. Despite his numerous moral and ethical flaws as a superhero, there are still certain principals that Adam would never go against such as willingly allowing an innocent to be harmed when he's the only hero present. He also refrains from doing anything he believes a bad guy would do. Deep down, Adam has a secret desire to be loved as a superhero even if he doesn't know it himself.

Adam Every was the first son and oldest child of two highly-respected archaeologists. His mother gave birth to him prematurely during a research trip to an archaeological site in the Middle East. With the arrival of their newly-born son, Doctors John Every and Dana Hart-Every traveled back home to Utopia City. Several years later, his younger sister, Eve Every, was born. Growing up, Adam had never seen much of his father since he was always traveling for work; his mother, on the other hand, stayed in Utopia City to raise both Adam and Eve and to work on her research. At the age of ten, the Every family received terrible news: John Every had died of a work-related incident; the details were never revealed to the family. The family was also given John's last archaeological find: a strange piece of petrified wood and rock that contained what looks like a piece of rib bone. Adam's mother then threw herself into analyzing her late husband's last find. Her dedication to uncovering the mystery of the unusual fossil would slowly made her increasingly ill, leaving her nearly bedridden permanently today. At the age of seventeen, on one fateful day, Adam had taken the unusual fossil to examine it in order to understand why his mother was so obsessed with it. When he held it to the sunlight, he noticed a strange and beautiful pattern glimmering within the fossil; unbeknownst to Adam, energy emitted from the fossil was being absorbed rapidly through his skin and into his body. Over the next few days, Adam developed incredible superhuman powers. From then on, he decided he would use these powers for his own personal gain. Thus, Ultiman was born.

Superhuman Strength: Ultiman's strength is not just your average, second-rate superhuman strength. No, his strength is estimated by the Superhero Database as being equal to the combined strength of more than half of non-superhumans alive on Earth. His strength is effectively more powerful than any other superhero or villain known currently. To put his strength into perspective: half of Earth's non-superhuman population is approximately 3.5 billion people and the average person can potentially lift 150 lbs. That would mean Ultiman possesses a potential lift strength of up to 525 billion lbs.

Superhuman Speed: Ultiman possesses an insane level of speed, being able to break the sound barrier almost instantaneously. There is no record in the Superhero Database of Ultiman's maximum speed but it has been stated to be re-entry-level speed - more than Mach 25.

Superhuman Durability: Ultiman posses an immense level of durability. His skin can survive the forces of re-entry speeds present during a trip from space back to Earth. In addition, he can survive within both the vacuum of space and the immense pressure of the ocean. Ultiman can shrug off tank shells at pointblank with ease and then some. His most impressive durability feat to date is tanking a medium-scale nuke head on and, in that situation, he only sustained some damage from the blast force; the radiation couldn't even pierce his skin.

Body Temperature Control: Ultiman can instinctively regulate his body temperature, increasing or decreasing it as desired. The lowest temperature he can go to is normal human body temperature but the highest is, at the very least, a hundred times that. Ultiman can raise it to such a temperature that is able to melt rocks, resulting in the creation of lava. Even more impressive, he can raise his temperature to the point of enveloping himself in flames. He cannot manipulate fire however.

Sustained Flight: Ultiman is capable of sustained flight.

Other Superhuman Properties: There are a variety of other superhuman powers that Ultiman possesses such as holding his breath for a ridiculously long period of time, blowing powerful gusts of wind from his mouth, creating powerful sound blasts with a clap or snap of his fingers, superhuman senses, a superhuman healing factor, and more.

Susceptibility to Human Diseases: Ultiman's most crippling weakness is his susceptibility to human diseases that is beyond even that of normal humans. In short, he is able to catch a disease more easily than even normal people. Furthermore, the effects of the diseases that he catches are even more brutal than how they normally are. For example, a common cold or the flu would leave Ultiman incapacitated until his body can get rid of the disease. Diseases that are even just a bit more severe could potentially put him into a coma until he is free of the symptoms. Fortunately, his superhuman healing factor usually rids Ultiman of his diseases pretty quickly.

Half Potential: This weakness is called Half Potential as a reference to Ultiman's tendency of rarely using the full potential of his powers. Like with normal humans, they can't and won't use the full potential of their abilities all the time and the same applies to Ultiman. Only in the most desperate of situations and when his adrenaline is pumping at full speed will he be able to fully utilize his powers.

Standing at a height of 5'6, Marcus is a short and agile individual, with a somewhat skinny build to his body. When he changes to his superhero persona, Zeus, he will put on a cracked mask resembling the Phantom of The Opera mask. His clothing does not change from the picture shown.

Marcus wears a pair of small metallic gloves which he uses to conduct electricity, increasing his power with hand-to-hand combat and martial arts.

He looks quite a bit younger than he really is, but he's used that to his advantage sometimes. He only wears those headphones when he goes out for "work", because he thinks they make him look cool. Whenever he uses his powers, his hair turns blonde and his eyes turn blue. When he doesn't, both his hair and eyes are a rather dull brown, and his hair is quite a bit more messy.

He can be quite annoying at first impression, but he's an ok guy once you get to know him. He can be confident and even reckless at times, but usually not to the point of idiocy. He also believes that just about anything can be solved using a fire.

Daniel and his little brother were brought up in a high-class family, and so their father placed very strict standards on them, Daniel especially since he was the firstborn son and therefore heir to the family fortune. It was always things like, "Tuck in your shirt, don't use the salad fork on the steak, hold still so Pierre can style your hair properly, nag nag nag nag nag." Daniel hated him for it, and wanted nothing more than to leave the family and live his own life the way he wanted to. He could have started his own business, raise a family, maybe join a gang if he got desperate. There was only one problem with leaving though: his brother Jonathan. If Daniel wasn't around, he would then be carrying the burden of the family fortune. Daniel couldn't do that to him, so he stayed and endured the hardships that came with being the firstborn son.

One day, though, a professional robber came to his home, looking for some easy loot. The robber, however, was discovered by accident by Daniel's father, and the robber immediately killed him. The sound woke Daniel and Jonathan, and in the chaos Daniel was captured and held hostage for a brief period of time. Daniel suddenly fight back, and in the process set fire to the brother's head. The robber survived, but had terrible burns, and was soon arrested. However, this now left Daniel, Jonathan, and their mother to take care of the fortune. Distant relatives tried to "help", and the fortune was soon squandered away. The family was far from poor, but they no longer had the social status they once had. Daniel didn't care, though, as all the burden was gone, though it was now replaced with another one: his powers. Daniel kept them a secret to all but his mother and brother, and he tried his best to train them, honing them and discovering hidden talents among them. When he reached 18, Daniel felt he could finally use them to better the world, one deed at a time.

Fire Domination: like fire manipulation except he can do a lot more than just move fire around. He can create solid constructs out of fire, from a simple katana sword to a 5-story Golem that he can control. Daniel can also absorb fire, except the fire he creates, to replenish his energy. Naturally, he is also immune to fire and extreme heat, and anything he touches has the same immunity unless he chooses otherwise.
Flight: it seems to involve enveloping himself in fire and then pushing himself off the ground using his fire while using that same fire to propel himself forward.
Superhuman stamina: self explanatory, and it's very much needed to maintain his fire domination ability. He can stay awake for a week and still run from sunrise to sundown without breaking a sweat.
Enhanced strength: nothing like Superman, but he can lift a 500 pound object with relative ease. Anything beyond that, though, will take quite a bit more effort.

-Anything he constructs is made out of fire, so naturally, any water that lands on them will act like acid, destroying any part that comes into contact, although how much is destroyed depends on how intense the fire is and how much water comes into contact.
-Creating constructs take a lot of energy, and the bigger the construct, the larger the energy requirement. Even his 5-story Golem will last only about an hour at best before Daniel becomes completely exhausted and is forced to let it dissipate. Also, his recovery time is much longer than normal, since he recovers only at a slightly faster rate than most people can, yet his superhuman stamina means he needs plenty of energy to get rid of fatigue. (Note, this is only talking about recovering from fatigue, everything else is unaffected). So, if he's not up and about, he's most likely sleeping off the time needed after some "work".

Lilly has long snow white hair that reaches her waist and emerald eyes. She's a small woman at 5' 5" and comes in at a little over 100 pounds. She has a lithe build, long graceful limbs and fingers, and for all the perverts out there she's a C-cup. Her costume is as seen in the picture above. As for normal clothes, she likes skinny jeans and tank tops, in winter she adds a jacket to the mix.

Lilly can keep a cool head in almost any situation. Always calm and with almost no temper to be heard of. She's stubborn to a fault and refuses to give in without a fight. She's brimming with confidence, but never passes the line to arrogance, she makes sure to keep herself and her emotions in check. She doesn't like it when people worry about her, so she has the habit of not telling them when she's wounded or tired. She's on the quiet side and prefers being alone to being with large groups of people. But she isn't anti-social, just likes her alone time. Strike up a conversation with her and she won't ignore you. She's protective of the people she cares about and would kill or be killed for them in an instant. Though she is one of the youngest people on the team she has a lot of maturity. Due to strong maternal instincts she has a soft spot for children. She doesn't have much of a temper, but set it off and run, fast.

Lilly was born about fifty miles south of Utopia City, in a small village known as the Village of Miracles. A place where physics, healers, and the like and trained. She was born in her family's temple safely without any problems to her or her mother. Her mother, being one with a strong affinity for aura sensing, knew right away that her youngest was special. She didn't just have an affinity to one of the supporting powers, she had it for nearly all of them. So, she was trained in everything as she grew up shielding, healing, sensing, even mental abilities such as telepathy and telekinesis. She did this until she was sixteen years old, when she decided to leave for Utopia City. Knowing that she could put her powers to use there. She wanted to be able to make money helping people, so she could send it back to the Village of Miracles. The place was small, run down, and in desperate need of some repairs. Thus, she found S.U.P.E.D.

Lilly is known as the ultimate supportive unit. All of her powers and more useful backing others up than fighting on her own. They all take energy to use, some more than others of course.
Shields: Lilly can create shields and barriers of pure energy. They can do anything from block an enemy attack, or absorb it and thrown it right back at them. Shields can be shaped as anything but barriers are exactly as they sound and are better used to block a single entrance. There are very few things that can break these shields and barriers, maybe an atomic bomb or nuclear war missile and some super powered attacks.
Healing: Lilly can heal even the most severe wounds as long as the person is still alive. The more severe a wound the more time and energy it takes to heal it. The downside is that she has to be touching the person in order to heal them and its better to be touching the wound being healed, sending the magic directly into the spot that it needs to be. She can also heal herself with a little more difficulty than healing others. This also includes being able to purify taints or darkness inside people, but this is by far the hardest thing she can do. Unfortunately she is not able to cure severe illnesses, but she is working on it.
Sensing: Lilly can sense the presences of other living things. The range is limited, but is current at about a twenty mile radius. This can be the easiest power to use, but is also overwhelming when there are a lot of people around as it can't be turned off. This can be fixed by registering their auras in her mind, by doing that they are no longer bothersome.
Telepathy: In that same radius of sensing people's presences, Lilly can talk to them using her mind. But only if she has basically registered their aura in her mind. She can talk to them, and hear their thoughts so they can reply to her. Very useful for keeping the team updated when they are separated.
Telekinesis: Lilly can lift objects or people with her nothing but her mind. The larger and heavier the object the more concentration it takes. Its also easier when said object or person is completely still. The only limit to how far she can take or throw an object is how far she can see.
Mind Reading/Control: Going into the telepathy thing, Lilly can read a person's mind and hear their thoughts. Though it is very rude to do so and Lilly doesn't do it unless absolutely needed. She can also control the minds of people by putting influencing thoughts in their heads. She cannot make them do anything that they wouldn't do normally.
Future Sight: Lilly can see short distances into the future, five minutes at the most. This mixed with her telepathy makes for a deadly combination. Occasionally it'll activate without her doing so consciously.
Enhancing: Lilly can strengthen an allies abilities, such as their strength, speed, agility, stamina, healing, and even berserk them if she needs to. Making her already overpowered friends even more overpowered.
Enchanting: Lilly can also strengthen their equipment. She can add elements or poisons to weapons, make armor stronger, repair broken equipment within seconds.
Sabotage/Disenchant: If Lilly can strengthen her allies, she can weaken her enemies. She can make their weaker, slower, get tired quicker, etc. She can do the same to their weapons and armor as well.

Energy Usage: Every one of Lilly's powers takes energy to use. So if she uses them too much or too often, it tires her out. Sleep is the easiest way to recover said energy.
Overwhelmed: Sensing is something that can't be turned off. So if she's in a new place, or around a lot of people she hasn't met before, she can get overwhelmed. A lot of death around her, registered auras or not, can do the same thing.
Fighting Alone: All of Lilly's abilities are to be used supporting another person, not fighting herself. So you better protect her if you want her to be able to protect you. If she gets cornered she's done for.
Human: Other than the supportive abilities Lilly is completely human. No superhuman speed, strength, stamina, any of that. So she sometimes finds it hard to keep up with her superhuman partners.
