->''"This '''isn't''' a team and we '''don't''' need a name. You're all contractors working for '''me'''. I'd be asking for your W-9s if this wasn't a goddamn '''criminal conspiracy.'''"''
-->-- '''Shift'''
A loose collective of criminals whose alien equipment is powered by exposure to the Radiants. Shift is the leader, and loans out the tech to other criminals in exchange for a fee and a cut of their take. They also act as mercenaries, working for the highest bidder, meaning they've encountered several heroes.
----
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Unlike the Radiants, their powers are not imbued. Once they're separated from their gear, they're just normal people.
* HiredGun: Most will work for anyone as long as the pay's good, though all of them take an interest in taking out Radiant Black specifically because he injured a lot of them, and they want his Radiant and he's the easiest to track down due to his showboating.
* ItsPersonal: Most of them have a personal beef with Radiant Black, since he either injured them badly (Accel and Sheer), let them down (Doppler) or pisses them off (Mecha). The only one exempt from this is Shift, who is a consummate professional most of the time.
* NoNameGiven: While Accel, Mecha and Sheer want to come up with a five-themed name when they all work together to take down Radiant Black, each one is shot down and Shift reiterates that they're not a team.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: They're hired by the Salvation Gang to help Bibi fight the oppressive Morrow corporation, and they do... right up until the plan goes awry. Then they bail.

[[folder: Shift (Guy)]]
!!Guy
->''"Let's go make something for ourselves."''
A corporate saboteur who was given the Shift technology to help procure energy for other equipment from the Radiants. After a successful first mission, he takes over as head of his gang. He begins meddling in Satomi's life after learning she is Radiant Red, puts together a supervillain team to kill Radiant Black and works with Bibi in San Francisco.
->'''First Appearance:''' ''Radiant Black'' #9 (November 2021)
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: The "Shift" story in ''Image!'' features the origin of Shift and his criminal empire, while also hinting towards a personal beef he has with Dynamech. This is a bit after he'd already been appearing for a while.
* CasanovaWannabe: Most of his interactions with Radiant Red are him unsubtly hitting on her. She's not into it.
* CyberGreen: He's got green accents and is the ringleader of a tech ring, and looks like a cyberpunk ninja.
* TheDragon: To Margo, the head of a crime organisation in Illinois, when she was trying to strongarm Satomi into a crime.
* GreenAndMean: Green is his main colour, and he's defined by his greed and ruthlessness.
* HateSink: In contrast to Radiant Red and Doppler, Shift is not introduced with a sympathetic backstory. He's introduced in a play on Nathan's introduction, except his financial issues are... wanting to be paid faster for corporate espionage, and he threatens to kill the person he's talking to unless he is. This is after we've already seen him threaten Satomi's family in ''Radiant Red''.
* {{Intangibility}}: The main power the Shift suit gives him, but it ''only'' affects him and the suit, nothing and nobody else.
* MysteriousPast: He's got history with Dynamech, which he's willing to kill for. However, his target is killed by his colleague before Guy and he can get into it.
* SecretKeeper:
** Guy learns Satomi Sone is Radiant Red because she was careless and caught the eye of a crimelord, Margot, who had Guy strongarm Satomi into helping her organisation. When Satomi betrays them, Guy doesn't get the chance to use it against her, since she confesses to her crimes afterwards.
** He learns about Nathan and Marshall being Radiant Black when they tag-team him and are unmasked as they share the powers. He doesn't do anything with this knowledge before they defeat him a second time and take his gear from him.
** Guy is also briefly acquainted with Bibi Lopez-Yang and learns that she's the masked vigilante running around San Francisco when she enlists the aid of the Salvation Gang against Morrow Tech and they bring him and his team in on the job.
* TheStarscream: He was a regular associate of his criminal gang. After he realises he can make it big by loaning out technology to criminals, he usurps ownership.
* TeleportSpam: His main ability is teleportation. However, like the phasing, it's limited to just him and the suit.
* WouldHurtAChild: The first time we see him proper, unmasked, he threatens to hurt Satomi's family, with emphasis on her niece and nephew.

!!Anja Wronja
A former musician who requires ultrasound therapy due to an injury to her hand. The suit she was hired to wear -- and use for crime -- provides some relief, with the surgery she pays for with her payment from her criminal colleagues doing the rest.
\\\
Anja fought Radiants Black and Pink. However, Marshall decides to give her a second chance after she is abandoned by her employers, rather than call the police on her.
->'''First Appearance:''' ''Radiant Black'' #11 (December 2021)
----
* AintTooProudToBeg: Doppler is abandoned by the criminals she works for after she is defeated by Radiant Black and Radiant Pink. She sobs and begs for mercy from the heroes, earning her some pity from Radiant Black who lets her go.
* AntiVillain: Anja isn't really a bad person deep down and is only working for Epicfront because they provide her with technology to help with her tremors.
* TheAtoner: The next time Marshall encounters Doppler is when she is discovered on the set of a Radiant Black fan film. She admits that she knew Black would be present and was seeking him out to power her suit, but her reasons weren't malicious at all: she had recently began working with young prisoners and needed the suit's power to help with her tremors.
* CareerEndingInjury: Her cello career ended due to a hand injury she suffered.
* LegacyCharacter: Anja is not the first Doppler, with a handful having been beaten by Marshall without real incident, with the first one having used the name. It's not clear how many there were in total before her, but the gang that recruited her implies there were quite a few. However, she's the first proper threat because she knows how the powers work.
* MakeSomeNoise: She can convert sound into other types of energy.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When various villains team up to ambush Radiant Black, Doppler is part of it. However, after seeing them about to kill Marshall, she sabotages the plan to help him. However, she's later seen working with them again when they show up in San Francisco.
* ShoutOut: Her supervillain name comes from ''C.O.W.L.''.
* WhatTheHellHero: After their first encounter, Anja will frequently call Marshall out for his showboating and not very heroic behaviour.

----
* GoneHorriblyWrong: His batteries absorb the energy of a monster from Inferno Girl Red's universe, which mutates him.
* KilledOffForReal: He's outright killed by Radiant Black, Rogue Sun and Inferno Girl Red once they get their powers back.
* {{Mutants}}: Jace's encounter with a creature from another world and absorbing the powers of the three heroes mutates him into some type of lizard monster.
* PowerParasite: His batteries do more than expected when they manage to steal all three heroes' powers outright, rather than just charge off of Radiant Black's.

* {{Ninja}}: Stealthy, black suit, martial arts-based and uses bladed weapons.
* SelfieFiend: He's an aspiring influencer, who just happens to be a criminal. He streams his crimes, pushes crypto and talks like a macho internet guru.
