“My name is Benson Heart. I am the Chief Commander of SPIRIT, the Super Powered Immediate Response Insertion Team. I have an urgent plea for all Supers who are looking to truly make a difference in this world; join our team. At SPIRIT, you will become part of a greater family, enjoying the company of individuals like yourselves from around the world. We have many activities to fill you off duty hours, and our training facility is one of the greatest in the world, specializing in many of the more common Super powers, as well as some of the more unique. Your missions will take you to every corner of the world, and you will see wonders you have only dreamt about. Above all else, you will gain a sense of purpose, saving those lives that would be lost otherwise, helping your fellow man through the direst of situations.
It’s a hard job, and sometimes you may have to make difficult choices, even sacrificing your life for anothers. This is not a job for everyone, but I know there are those of you out there looking for purpose, some sense of being. Become a member of SPIRIT; help us help others. It is a choice that will change yours, and many others, lives. Thank you.”

Formed in 2005, this U.N. sanctioned team was charged with the well being of the worlds population. After the decimation of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina, it was plain there were some emergency situations too big for non-Supers to handle. A call went out to all those whose powers and abilities would fit best in specific areas of emergency management.
The SPIRIT Command Center was built on Khazan, a small island in the Atlantic, just off the southern coast of Africa. The first team was formed from volunteers from all over the world, responding to dozens of emergency alerts in the first week alone. Overwhelmed, invitations to other Supers were sent out, and their ranks grew in order to aid those in need.
Sadly, many of those who join leave within a few days, not truly understanding the risks they would be taking with each operation. Some succumb to nervous breakdowns, unable to cope with the constant stress that comes with such a job. Then there are those few who have been lost to us, giving up their lives so others would live on.
The call goes on for those Supers who are willing to take those risks, to push themselves beyond the bounds of endurance, in order to save those in the direst of needs. The call goes on for true heroes.
