Feature Characters are the characters that you recognize from a variety of source material: Batman, Wolverine, Raphael, Spawn, Hellboy, Buffy, etc. They fall into seven categories based on their importance and role on the game. Below is a more expansive explanation of what each means along with a general listing. This is by no means all inclusive.
For a listing of current characters and availability, please see the Character Listing.
If you have questions about any of these listings or find some missing, feel free to contact staff in-game.
App-Free Characters
App-Free Characters tend to be far less powerful than the norm. They don't wear costumes, or have codenames, although we're certain they're really, really nice. There are AFCs beyond those listed below. Staff reserves the right to make that decision when the character is presented to them.
Feature Characters
Feature Characters are those of some note. They have abilities, powers, resources, and / or skills, and they represent the majority of the played characters. There are FCs beyond those listed below. Staff reserves the right to make that decision when the character is presented to them.
Deluxe Feature Characters
Deluxe Feature Characters tend to be somewhat more powerful than the norm, frequently occupy high ranking positions, or both. There may be DFCs beyond those listed below. Staff reserves the right to make that decision when the character is presented to them.
| Daredevil | Deadpool | Doctor Strange | Flash | Green Arrow | Green Lantern (Jordan) |
| Harley Quinn | Hulk | Hyperion | Magneto | Nightwing | Oracle |
| Scarlet Witch | Star-Lord | Supergirl | White Queen | ||
Essential Feature Characters
Essential Feature Characters tend to be far more powerful than the norm, hold great influence, or both. These are the movers and shakers of the game. There may be EFCs beyond those listed below. Staff reserves the right to make that decision when the character is presented to them.
| Batman | Captain America | Iron Man | Phoenix | Spider-Man | Superman |

Original Characters
A character that you, the player, made up. Here's your chance to write your own creation into the fabric of our universe. Crusader, Jessie Hawklin, and Vorpal are examples of this.
Space Feature Characters
Often overpowered by human standards, Space characters spend their lives among the stars. Although they may visit the Earth during a tiny-plot, it's the exception, rather than the rule. There may be SFCs beyond those listed below. Staff reserves the right to make that decision when the character is presented to them.
Tiny-Plot Characters
Tiny-Plot Characters tend to be phenomenally powerful. While any character may be used in a Tiny-Plot, we have reserved these characters specifically for high-level plot use. There may be TPCs beyond those listed below. Staff reserves the right to make that decision when the character is presented to them.
Villainous Feature Characters
It is said a hero is only as good as their enemies. Thus, a good story has to have a well-written villain, somebody that earns respect. After all, what is a hero without a villain to challenge them? There are Villainous Feature Characters beyond those listed below. Staff reserves the right to make that decision when the character is presented to them.
