Coming off the back of licensed comics for {{Toku}} franchises ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' and ''[[Franchise/UltraSeries Ultraman]]'', Kyle Higgins launched ''Radiant Black'' with artist Marcelo Costa in 2021. They took the everyman superhero approach and applied it to characters who were well into adulthood and who had less than glamorous lives and wrestled with what could be considered more mundane problems, like stalled careers and the struggles of gambling addiction. Some of the backmatter for ''Radiant Black'' advertised something called ''Inferno Girl Red'', which would later be revealed to be a Kickstarter project by Higgins’ colleague and fellow former ''[[ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersBoomStudios Power Rangers]]'' writer Matt Groom, with pencils by Erica D’Urso. The two writers teased a connection between the two series, but would not say what it was.

Then, in late 2021, the ''Supermassive'' special was announced, and revealed that ''Radiant Black'' was only the first part of a shared universe. Helmed by Kyle Higgins, Matt Groom and Ryan Parrott, all of whom had worked on Creator/BoomStudios’ well-regarded ''Power Rangers'' comics, the universe is the first new shared superhero universe to come out of Image since its earliest days.
