Overview

The Federal Bureau for Super-powered Affairs (FBSA) is a government organization that oversees super-powered individual in the United States.

The FBSA's task of overseeing super-powered affairs gives the organization a broad range of duties. These duties are focused on evaluating and dealing with super-powered threats to national security, whether they be domestic, foreign, or extra-dimensional in nature. Along with monitoring super-powered individuals and groups, they perform large amounts of research & development, to help their allies and hinder their enemies. In Paragon City, they monitor the power levels of all the city's heroes, and publish documents such as the Psionic Threat Report, along with a myriad of other duties. Their agents and advisory publications often help to warn heroes of potential threats to the city.

Although many heroes deal with the FBSA as an informational agency, it has many operatives actively engaged in countering super-powered threats. This includes people ranging from MAGI SpecOps teams to individual agents in the field.
