History DarthWiki / DaybreakCity

* ActionMom: Quite a few. Most notable are dimension explorer/scientist/superhero Therese Plutonium-Yu, retired ex-supervillainess Eclipsa/Tabitha Cutler, and {{Housewife}} and part-time hero Lydia Sherwood/Ms. Astounding.

* FlyingBrick: The first recognized superhero, Sovereign. The modern day has Lady Justice.

* OneSteveLimit: {{Averted}}. The setting has two Michaels (Michael Cole/Lightbringer I and Michael Prescott/Malachite) and two Lydias (Lydia Anderson/Palette Swap and Lydia Sherwood/Ms. Astounding).

** The Paradigm was a thirteen-man group in its day, but only one of those members are still alive in the modern day. The Avenger, Black Leopard, and Mermaid died fighting the Shadow Society. Crossbow and Rapier disappeared into a dimensional rift and were never heard from again. Golden Marvel sacrificed his life to kill the Doomlord near the end of the war. Falcon, Radio-Wave, and Supervolt were picked off after the war by remaining Shadow Society members. Sovereign and Star Maiden died years later in the Nebulon Invasion. And Professor Plutonium succumbed to cancer only two years after them. Thanks to his magic, Dr. Mystery/Andrew Ashton has outlived all his teammates, though he's none too happy about it.

** All of [[ClassicalElementsEnsemble Gaea's Vanguard]]: Clay Meadows/[[DishingOutDirt Gnome]], Noelani Keahi/[[MakingASplash Undine]], Skye Himmelstein/[[BlowYouAway Sylph]], and Ignacio del Sol/[[PlayingWithFire Salamander]].

* MadScientist: Tons, most to do with [[ScienceRelatedMemeticDisorder Spark-Induced Manic Disorder]]. The most prominent is Nomer Odin ("Number One" in Russian), the one behind the [[TheTunguskaEvent Tunguska Event]] and the world's first true supervillain (oddly not a SIMD sufferer, or even a Sparkbearer at all).

* SuperSupremacist: New Era believes in the inherent superiority of metahumans over regular humans, and aims to create a world where the metahumans rule as gods over the "cattle". Their primary use of rhetoric is to claim that ordinary humans distrust and envy metahumans and will inevitably [[MugglePower attempt to detain and kill them]]; as such, metahumans have no choice but to meet violence with violence.

** The Tricksters, a small team that operates in the Daybreak City University area (and are in fact comprised of the university's students). More of a RagtagBunchOfMisfits than other teams, they've nonetheless managed quite a few impressive feats.

* TheCape: The very first superhero, Sovereign; the hero who heralded the Silver Generation, Silver Star; and Sovereign's niece/DistaffCounterpart turned hero in her own right, Princess/Lady Justice.

The primary setting is the titular Daybreak City, a fictional East Coast city that happens to be the SuperheroCapitalOfTheWorld. There have been three prior generations of heroes and villains (the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Generation]], the [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Generation]], and the [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks Bronze Generation]]) with [[UsefulNotes/TheModernAgeOfComicBooks a new generation on the rise]]. The world's premier SuperTeam, Paragons United, is based out of Daybreak City, as is [[GovernmentAgencyOfFiction S.T.A.R.S.]].

* TheGunslinger: Sundown/Teresa McGee styles herself as an Old West-style gunslinger, and her weapon of choice is a blunderbuss (albeit modified with non-lethal rounds).

* AlienInvasion: Throughout the setting's history, there have been a few of these. The most prominent was the Nebulon Invasion of 1991, where Lambda of the Nebulae attempted to conquer the Earth as revenge for a previous defeat; it took all the heroes' efforts to beat him back, and many perished in the fight, including Sentinel and Star Maiden.
