Superheroing is a rough endeavor. It requires hundreds of hours of training, specialized equipment and the right outlook. You need the skills to exploit the weaknesses of super villains, and the powers to bring your plans to do so to fruition. At the end of the day, you also need enough liability and medical coverage to rebuild the buildings you knocked down to smash the villains head in and pick the bullets out of your chest.

Heros, meanwhile, are recruited in one of two ways: First, an extensive HR department, mostly baseline humans, examines and makes offers to manifested metas as they graduate from High School. Those that accept are then entered into the Crimson Cape Training program.

Alternatively, many other Heros provided by the Crimson Cape are previously captured villains, having been extensively, and involuntarily, "rehabilitated" by the Crimson Cape's Behavioral Modification Department, a group of highly advanced psykers, who perform the most complete mindwipe possible on the villain, then re-write him from the ground up.

Either way, the recruit is then funneled to training. Using the
