Legend's Squad

Lore & Background

During the Leviathan attack in Brockton Bay, this dynamic was most visible. Heroes from various cities converged under a unified command structure where Legend took point. While they lacked the camaraderie of long-standing teams like the Wards, their shared purpose was absolute survival and containment. The dissolution of these groups is immediate once the threat subsides, with members returning to their home branches or solo patrols.

In Their Own Story

The sky above the flooded streets burned with blue light. Legend hovered high above the churning water, his cape snapping in the wind generated by his own descent. Below, heroes scrambled through waist-deep currents, coordinating fire against a monster that refused to die. He didn't speak; he simply signaled with flashes of his gauntlets. A laser beam sliced through the mist, marking a target for a tank, while another beam shielded a civilian evacuation pod. In this moment, there were no city lines or team rosters—only the man in gold and silver holding back the tide.

Reader's Guide

The group lacks a formal hierarchy beyond Legend's field command authority. Ideologically, they operate under the Protectorate's mandate to protect humanity from extinction-level threats, prioritizing containment over capture during Endbringer engagements. Key members fluctuate based on availability but frequently include other Triumvirate members and high-tier Pros like Armsmaster or local directors. There is no permanent base of operations; deployments occur wherever a major threat manifests, often utilizing PRT mobile command centers or temporary staging grounds in affected cities. Throughout the story, this grouping evolves from a loose coalition into a more structured response protocol as the Endbringer frequency increases. However, it never solidifies into a standing faction like New Wave. Its dissolution is inherent to its nature; once the crisis passes, the 'squad' disbands, returning heroes to their respective jurisdictions and duties.
