[[folder:Cauldron]]

A mysterious organization that appears to have figured out how to give people powers.

Tropes applying to the group as a whole:

* [[Characters/WormWorldwideThreats Worldwide Threats]]

The second Endbringer to attack, appearing for the first time in the mid-1990s, Leviathan is a thirty-foot-tall bipedal, tailed monster. Its obvious powers are twofold: an 'afterimage' of water that follows behind it, appearing where it was moving as fast as it was, and [[MakingASplash large-scale water telekinesis]]. It is obviously incredibly tough -- a trait which masks the fact that it is ''actually'' NighInvulnerable. Recuperates deep in the ocean between assaults.

The third Endbringer to strike, appearing just after the turn of the millennium. A fifteen-foot tall, flying, waiflike alabaster-white female human figure with [[MonochromaticEyes pure grey eyes]], long platinum hair and numerous, asymmetrically placed, white-feathered wings. Her obvious powers are telekinetic; her less obvious powers are ''prophetic'', as she intentionally adjusts the events in places she strikes to set up the survivors to be walking DisasterDominoes that might fall months or years after the initial event. It rests between attacks in the thermosphere, three hundred or more kilometers above the earth.

[[folder: The Endbringers]]

First appearing in 1992, the Endbringers have been unsystematically wrecking human civilization ever since. They are, in fact, nearly the one and only thing which will cause heroes and villains to team up to fight. Each of them attacks roughly once a year, and never at the same time.

Tropes for the trio as a group:

* BizarreAlienBiology: The analyses that [[spoiler:Tattletale and Blasto]] do on [[spoiler:Leviathan and Simurgh]], respectively, demonstrate this quite conclusively.
* NighInvulnerable: None of the Endbringers have ever suffered permanent harm.

! Behemoth

The first Endbringer to appear, on December 13th, 1992, formerly known as Hadhayosh. A forty-five foot tall, heavily muscled, heavily armored bipedal creature with the ability to manipulate energy of all kinds (e.g. electrical, thermal, kinetic) while bypassing the Manton effect[[note]]meaning that he can affect both living and dead material[[/note]]. Between attacks, it lies deep in the earth.

A telekinetic of silicon, controlling the glass through high-frequency sounds and one of the most successful members of the team at identifying new candidates for membership. She was born in the Arab Emirates and dosed with a Cauldron formula, prompting the manifestation of her powers and the deaths of thousands. Eventually made her way to London, then America, joining the Slaughterhouse Nine. [[spoiler:Captured by Regent, and abandoned by the surviving members of the Slaughterhouse Nine when they left the city.]]

A group of nine serial killer capes led by the sociopathic Jack Slash and the amoral child tinker Bonesaw that go around causing all manner of death and destruction ForTheEvulz, to the point that they have all have a kill order. [[spoiler:Though it would seem that they have a plan to jumpstart the apocalypse beneath that reason.]]

* SerialKiller: An entire group of them. In Taylor's words they're what happens when messed up people got even worse after getting powers.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: See ManipulativeBastard.

A demented but childlike tinker who specializes in organic beings.

* PlayingWithFire

* MotiveMisidentification: As powerful as her empathic abilities are, she makes a number of major errors in her analysis of the major players in Brockton Bay, including [[spoiler:completely missing [[HeroWithBadPublicity Skitter's actual motivations]].]]

* SuperSerum: Make these.

* WeAreEverywhere: A lot of capes, heroes and villains alike, have ties to them.
