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.
