Hi All. I know I have asked for a lot of help here recently, but I am asking once again. I appreciate everyone's help from my previous posts. This idea has been bouncing around inside my head all day. If anyone is interested, I would appreciate some fleshing out the concept. I understand everyone has their own things going on, so no worries if you are not interested. So, here is the idea:
HomeGuard
After the events of September 11, 2001, the 911 Commission recommended the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. The main purpose of this new department was to aid in the security of the United States. The department works very closely the National Security Administration, the FBI, CIA, and various other governmental agencies in order to achieve this mission. One aspect of this mission was the formation of the HomeGuard.
Simply put, the HomeGuard is a government sponsored team. However the HomeGuard is anything but simple. The team is made of dozens (hundreds?) of super powered or gifted non-power individuals. These members are divided by power levels. The lowest power level and the majority of the gifted non-powered individuals form the Gamma Wing. Don’t be fooled by the hero’s low power level or total lack of powers. These team members are the front line fighters against terrorism here in North America and Mexico. Gamma Wing works very closely with local and governmental law enforcement agencies in discovering terrorist threats, finding terror cells, apprehending terrorist, and dealing with the aftermath of missed threats. These folks are the real heroes. This is the only level that mentalist are allowed. The other two wings do not have mentalists for fear of not being able to control them if they go rogue.
The next level is Omega Wing. National level threats are dealt with at this level. This is not necessarily a threat from a hyper-powered beings or teams, but also includes natural or manmade disasters. Members on these teams are very powerful or extremely trained/talented individuals. Should a major terror threat be discovered that is beyond the ability of Gamma Wing, then an Omega Wing team will be sent in to handle the situation. When these instances occur, Gamma Wing usually maintains and secures the parameter around the situation. This does create some conflict between the two levels from time to time, but so far nothing that has a been a serious problem. Omega Wing does not operate independently. Homeland Security must authorize Omega Wing actions in all, but the most immediate need occasions. This leads to Omega Wing being referred to as Easy Wing, since Omega Wing spends a large amount of time waiting for the approval to act.
The highest level is Alpha Wing. These beings could also be classified as weapons of mass destruction. It should be noted that there are two Alpha Wing members that do not posses any powers. These two individuals are simply peak human who are incredibly well trained. Members at this level posses truly frightening power levels. There is one member who is capable of stopping a hurricane simply by turning it off. Other members of the team are equally powerful in their own right. Homeland security does not talk about Alpha Wing. In fact, the existence of the team is classified. Only the top level Homeland Security members and the senior members of the Senate Oversight Committee know of Alpha Wing (however, there are a few Gamma Wing hackers who know a little about Alpha Wing and have managed to keep their knowledge hidden). Alpha Wing involvement literally is the full force of the government short of a nuclear warhead. All team members are closely watched to minimize any chance of any one member going rogue.
Champions Power Point Level:
Gamma Wing: up to 250 pts
Omega Wing: 301 – 600 pts
Alpha Wing: 651 + pts
