Corporations
Frosbrand
Frosbrand Industries is an absurdly diverse corporate entity, focusing on military engineering and biotechnology in its European holdings, computer engineering and cutting-edge software design in its North American holdings, energy in North Africa and the Middle East and a scattering of all kinds of other holdings the rest of the world over.
Zeus Dynamic
Zeus Dynamic is an international corporation based in Istanbul, Turkey. It is a conglomerate of American, European, and Middle Eastern military interests known principally as a private military contractor, but it has arms in weapons research and development, information technology, and other more esoteric endeavors. Like most military contractors, it recruits its roster from retired and discharged soldiers from a variety of countries alongside those who would never qualify for proper military service. Zeus Dynamic predominantly represents American and Western European interests, but it's not above profiting from playing multiple sides when the opportunity arises.
Zeus Dynamic maintains a number of subsidiary companies outside of the Middle East, principal among them Athena Security in Richmond, Virginia. Officially, Athena Security offers private security details and bodyguards on contract within the United States, with some international travel. Unofficially, Athena Security is also one of the contractors that handles paramilitary operations within United States borders that the U.S. military would rather not be held accountable for. Both Zeus Dynamic and Athena Security have black ops programs unknown to a majority of its constituents.
Government Agencies
Project Asgard
The joint Department of Defense and Homeland Security Super project. They include a number of Alphas and more Photogenic Betas who were either in the Military at the time of the Event, or who later enlisted in the Military. Unlike other US based Super teams, everyone affiliated with Project Asgard are active duty Military. The United States consistently denies rumors that they are engaging in illegal Quantum Enhancement Experiments.
The Department of Variant Human Affairs
Formed in the wake of the attack on New York, the DVHA is in charge of all legal matters involving individuals impacted by the Quantum Effect. This includes locating and monitoring affected individuals, responding in the wake of any further Quantum Incidents, maintaining the Manhattan Containment Zone, and operating the US prison for Supers known as XXX. The common perception of the DVHA is that they only send individuals to the MCZ who are either actively dangerous or who cannot control their powers. In reality, they sweep up everyone who is actively expressing the activated AZN gene and send them to the island. They only make exceptions for individuals who have immediately useful powers and seem pliable, who have corporate sponsorship, other connections or fame. Everyone else is deported to the MCZ where they must prove that they have "Sufficient Control to return to normal society", i.e. make themselves so useful to the DVHA or a Corporation that they can be let out again.
