The worst of the worst. These lunatics are the supers that are more natural disasters than people. They're tough as all hell to contain, too.

Tropes they share:

• Person of Mass Destruction
• Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains: Averted. Duchess Epidermis and Cold-Drinker are the only confirmed female Delta Classes, but neither wears skimpy or revealing clothing.

564

Death

Less of a person, more a phenomenon, 564 is a notorious mass-murderer with a terrifyingly unfair power.

• Ambiguous Gender: No one really knows for sure what 564 is.
• Catchphrase: "NO HOPE HERE". Sort of, it isn't known whether they actually say it (mostly due to the the distinct lack of survivors when they do their thing). But it is still often associated with them when not serving as general Arc Words, and can apparently often be found written in blood following their rampages.
• The Dreaded: And with good reason, too.
• Madness Mantra: See above.
• Nothing Is Scarier: Like many other Delta-Class threats nothing has been explained about their powers (except that they're ridiculously unfair) and how they manage kill so many people at once.
  • There was also an in universe example once when they were expected to strike but didn't. The result was people freaking out just as much, if not more, then they would have for a typical attack.
• Teens Are Monsters: Confirmed to be just 14 years old by the author.
• The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Here and here.
• They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: Which is how they manage to travel around completely undetected between attacks.
• Walking Wasteland: The only sign they have that 564 has been somewhere is the swath of destruction and booby traps left in their wake.
• Tarot Motifs: XIII - Death

Duchess Epidermis

aka "Erzsébet Báthory", "Bone Witch"

Real Name Unknown

"You are in my garden now, and you will leave or depart, one way or the other."

A cruel woman who's more or less depopulated Hungary in the process of making a garden.

• Deadly Euphemism: Her "gardening" is sometimes believed to be this, however it's subverted in that she actually does have a garden.
• Nothing Is Scarier: All we really know about her powers is that they involve a lot of forced Body Horror.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: But No Social Skills to back it up.
• Tarot Motifs: III - The Empress
• Villains Out Shopping: She's actually very enthusiastic about gardening, even considering it to be her calling, and knits as well.
• Self-Made Orphan: Slaughtered her family. Then her hometown.
• Lovecraftian Superpower
• Where I Was Born and Razed: Eventually did this to her entire city, creating a wonderland of her own.

Hollow

A hooded horror who makes up for a lack of facial features with psychotic narsicissm.

• Beware the Quiet Ones: Only ever whispers.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Disbelieves in sentient beings besides themselves.
• I'm a Humanitarian
• Self-Made Orphan: Implied by one of the author's answers on Tumblr.
• Tarot Motifs: IX - The Hermit

Nihil

This glowing, stationary super is something that's not around anymore, but the rest of the world's still in the process of freaking out about...whatever it was.

• Nothing Is Scarier: An in-universe example, no one really knew what it's deal was.
• Tarot Motifs: XX - Judgement

Cindersoul

Fulminant Harbinger

Some yammering lunatic that's in containment, A.K.A. the American Southwest. He(?)'s turned the place into a glass bowl, though.

• Ambiguous Gender: Generally given male pronouns followed by a question mark.
• Person of Mass Destruction: He(?) has turned his containment area into what's called "the snowdome" for irony.
• Shout-Out: Someone decided to call their Castle Cat after them.
• Tarot Motifs: XVI - The Tower
• The Needless: Doesn't need to eat, at least.

Teratoma

The most terrifying activist ever, this self-proclaimed defender of the natural world is rather like a mentally unstable Captain Planet.

• Everyone Has Standards: Doesn't like Cindersoul or Duchess Epidermis at all.
• Leitmotif: It's ambiguous. Land Down Under, Everybody Knows Shit's Fucked and Requiem of Sunshine and Rainbows - three very different sounding tracks ^note  Funk, Rock and sort-of-Techno , have all been suggested for this position (by different people, no less). K2 said Teratoma can have multiple, but answered 'maybe' on the question if they all three counted as Teratoma's leitmotif.
• Soapbox Sadie: But far more violent.
• Tarot Motifs: IV - The Emperor
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Well they consider themself a hero, at the very least.

Cold-Drinker

A stoic Russian ice queen, whose 'ascension' killed quite a lot of people.

• An Ice Person
• Lack of Empathy: Unlike most Delta class threats, her bodycount seems to be less from genuine malice and more because she just doesn't care.
• The Needless
