History

The Union Supreme's origins came about during a crisis.

In January, 2009, the United Nations held a confidential meeting in Martin Hall at Astoria Plaza. The Plaza had been mostly abandoned for years, overrun by criminals and the Banished Pantheon. A security team secured the Hall, but failed to detect the sub-basements where the Council-under the command of Archon Rossi-were manufacturing an anti-alien weapon.

By the time of the meeting, the weapon was nearly ready for deployment. Rossi sent Council troops, both human and robotic-but none tainted by the Nictus-to take over the building and take the UN representatives hostage. The attack did not go undetected.

The City Council and the Mayor authorized a small strike team let by the hero Solairis to rescue the hostages and stop whatever plans the Council hoped to advance. In addition, while the Plaza was cordoned off, a number of other heroes breached the cordon in a variety of ways to assist in whatever way they could.

In the end, Archon Rossi and his troops were defeated in a battle royale.

As the crisis developed, a briefing at the Department of Defense given by Lieutenant Colonel Nathan Fuller (ret.) encouraged the formation of a "Union Supreme" headed up by Solairis, and urged that this Union work under the auspices of the United Nations. Due to the fact that this group would be operating on United States territory for its home base, Fuller felt that the approval of the Joint Chiefs was necessary in order for a Union to become reality.

Shining Centurion spoke with Solairis after the hostages were freed, and the Council routed; Solairis, and close associates of his, spoke with others who were present at the incident.

On January 11, 2009, Solairis, Gods Speed, Liberty Rose, the Egalitarian, Shining Centurion, Shadespawn, Steel Brigade, Sonic Zoom, and the Emerald-Sentinel would be officially presented to Paragon City as the Union Supreme. Others would join soon after.

Hierarchy

The Union is headed up by a group of Councillors, a concept from the history of Solaris Prime; this is considered an "alliance of equals" as well as a group of guides rather than a strict leadership.

Upon entry into the Union, a member is given a title dependent upon their sphere of influence. The City Sentries are the heroes best suited for dealing with the local criminal elements, and maintain strong ties to Paragon City (or whatever city they spend most of their time in). The Global Defenders operate on a larger scale, considering the welfare of the nation and the world itself as their usual rounds. Finally, the Cosmic Guardians keep watch on a scale incomprehensible to most-whether it concerns the deepest reaches of space, or the myriad realities that lie parallel to Primal Earth. None of these titles are considered superior to any other; it is simply a recognition of the hero's area of expertise. Nor does it imply that these heroes cannot handle threats that derive from outside their scope; the City Sentry is just as ready to handle a pan-dimensional attack just as much as the Cosmic Guardian can intervene in a bank robbery.

Apart from these, there are the Mentors, who may be drawn from any of the above groupings. The Mentors are considered senior members of the Union, and have been entrusted to organize the group in various endeavors.
