[[folder: Cooper Landry]]
'''Brazen Civilian'''
Cooper is a young human, having no metahuman abilities and a bit of a complex about that. He has joined the Human-Machine Front purely out of IJustWantToBeSpecial, and made friends with the referentially named Biggs and Wedge. Cooper has undertaken a number of Amplifications from Ignis' organization, but not enough to visibly alter him.
* {{Cyborg}}: Currently low scale, he has a new mechanical spine, implants in his arms and legs, and additions to his nervous system to give him SuperReflexes. Nothing visible, but he is a lot stronger than a normal human.
* EnemyMine: Unknowingly, his alliance with Cole is basically this.
* HotBlooded: Very ready to jump into a fight or push back against someone being aggressive, to a fault.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Doesn't know much about the higher ups, like his friends, and even made friends with his technical boss' archnemesis brother.
* LaResistance: He and his friends are ready to form a LaResistance cell against the Saviors.

* NayTheist: Ignis is actively hostile to the Gods, deigning to cast them down and slay them - replacing their worship with veneration for powerful humans in a rather social darwinist system.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Played with; Ignis doesn't actually need to do much - he can coordinate his minions, direct them, and lead them tactically from insanely far away, and still intervene in the fights going on. So he seems to be just situated on his throne, but functionally he's never too far away to do what needs to be done for his plans.

* DarkMessiah: Many of his lower ranking soldiers and cat's paws attach a certain religious reverence to him, praising him as if they're praising a god, leading dark, burning revels in his honor. Many have such a view, and from across numerous viewpoints, from metahuman supremacists to human supremacists who think he's a patron deity for them. It tells that their politics and views are nothing but tools for Ignis to use.
* GravityMaster: Ignis seems to enjoy flattening people with gravity - he used it oppressively in his fight with Vivian, and when Bellpepper looked to be getting somewhere he interceded and crushed him with gravity from his place on high.

[[folder: Metallic Raider]]
'''Number 11 of Ignis' Elites'''
Metallic Raider is a long time member of Ignis' forces, having been found on a world consumed by zealotry and fervor. The man who became Metallic Raider was due to be executed for heresy, but Ignis rescued his scalded body from the burning stake. He was mostly replaced with cybernetics as a result, becoming the tremendous and intimidating Metallic Raider. He now serves Ignis as a personal enforcer and hatchet man.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His axe is capable of cutting through anything.
* ChromeChampion: Ignis' metallic champion.
* CoDragons: The first of Ignis' CoDragons, the Numbers, to be seen. He does not disappoint.
* {{Cyborg}}: Though given what happened to him, very little of his biological self remains.
* FlamingSword: Or at least a flaming axe. Apparently the axe was literally forged through a sun, and used auspicious materials for its creation.
* MadeOfIron: Takes a hit from the Lance and barely winces at it. He in general takes a lot of punishment and fights back against the heroes quite well.
* MightyGlacier: At a first glance. He's big, he's tough, and he's slow moving, wielding a gigantic axe burning with an unnatural fire at the blade...
** LightningBruiser: However he can telekinetically control that axe wherever it is, meaning he can throw it through the air and turn it into a devastating fast moving projectile.
* TheQuietOne: Never once utters a word in his fight with the heroes.
* ThrowingYourWeaponAlwaysWorks: At least when you can telekinetically command the weapon in question.
* TrueCompanions: One odd bit about Ignis' organization is that they all agree with their boss, and rather than being tricked, fearing him, being manipulated one way or another, all of Ignis' men like and respect him. Metallic Raider in particular reveres Ignis for saving his life.

[[folder: Ignis]]
-> '''Kenon Streiss:''' ''Mark my words, Cole, you will never know peace nor prosperity.''
[= =]\\\
The cruel and manipulative twin brother of Cole, Ignis / Kenon Streiss is the head of the Human Machine Front and all its affiliates, on top of numerous other proxy forces. Ignis seems to have his eye on this Earth in particular for some reason, desiring to subvert and control it through his proxies, as he has done before. An adept manipulator of minds both through his powers and his behaviors, Ignis in the first round did not even need to commit to the field himself.
* ArchEnemy: Cole and Ignis have animosity that spans numerous worlds, dimensions and possibly years by now due to the peculiarities of time via dimensional travel.
** He is also a very personal foe for Iona and Viv, due to his FlawExploitation.
* TheChessmaster: A version where it's obvious he has other things he's doing. Well into the fight with his agent Metallic Raider, he simply shuffled Metallic Raider out through a portal, seeming to say he needed the Raider somewhere else, alluding to more going on than just fighting Squad 4.

* ManipulativeBastard: "Those who desire someone to hate...are the easiest to manipulate." Ignis is capable both with and without his powers in making people do things. He didn't really have to make Iona do anything spectacular; more, he just worked with what he knew.
* MindOverMatter: Capable of doing so to a finely honed degree; just touching Viv's arms let him afflict her with rust, and he seems to have a predilection for [[GravityMaster crushing people with enhanced gravity.]]
* PsychicPowers: Far more reliable ones than Cole's, and possibly more powerful than him.
* TinTyrant: Stands tall in a suit of shifting mercury armor - the armor serves a purpose in protecting him and decreasing the number of things he needs to focus on.
