S.U.P.L.E.X. stands for Superhumans United Promoting Liberty & EXcellence. It is a private corporation who contracts with states, cities and Non Government Organizations for Metahuman Crime Interdiction Services. Through a partnership with SUPLEX Corp, the team operates in six separate territories and does recruitment, training and logistical support for each team. Now with a net worth of seven billion dollars, it is the largest such private provider of superhuman training and recruitment, and has become a serious competitor for the Federal monopoly on metahuman law enforcement by adapting for intermediate threats over wide rural areas.

History
S.U.P.L.E.X. was formed in 2010 after the night of the First Probability Matrix, when an unusual series of coincidences occured in Bloomington, Indiana, resulting in a reality altering alien craft becoming active below the city and summoning a demonic island in the sky that subsequently crashed into the west side of the city; several heroes were generated on that night, including the team's founder Chris By-The-Throat, World's Luckiest Detective. With the timely aid of a small time libertarian think tank called Citizens Consolidated, they made their pitch first to the city of Bloomington and eventually the State of Indiana, eventually winning the state's approval to take over the duty of metahuman criminal interdiction and granting them similar arrest and detainment powers as other superheroes under the Metahuman Crimes Omnibus Bill of 1981.

The team had just gotten qualified for basic hero work and had been doing the job for less than five months before a civil war broke out in the island nation of Santa Morena and the Federal Government hired the team to provide logistical support when they deployed Flag Force One and the 101st Airborne to keep the ports open and assure a peaceful transition of power. When the American forces lost most of their troops and several of their caped heroes in a sneak attack by the villain know as the Hellrazor, S.U.P.L.E.X. oversaw the evacuation of the embassy and the extraction of several high level prisoners, earning a taste of international acclaim despite Chris By-The-Throat's constant needling of the Federal Government.

On the home front after Santa Morena, S.U.P.L.E.X. continued to enforce metahuman law and recruit new heroes into their ranks, eventually expanding their territory to include Ohio and Kentucky (except for Louisville, which had their own team of superheroes) solidifying their status and gaining legitimacy. That region, now known as CENTCOM, is the largest continuous territory of S.U.P.L.E.X. operations. They recruited and trained the third wave of heroes while expanding their airlift capability and striking lucrative endorsement deals. The Mistress of Whispers, Psyren, took over as CEO of S.U.P.L.E.X. Corp at this time and began managing the business side of events, while the Verdigris Auditor became the first S.U.P.L.E.X. support staffer to gain superpowers after finding an alien visor in the team's storage unit.

With the recruitment of the third wave in 2014, S.U.P.L.E.X. Corp had gained significant financial resources and invested heavily in their training facilities and capabilities after a grisly accident. Expanding the cadre was the first priority, so the team added more professional instructors and support staff to the Quarry and greatly improved the facilities. During this time, the Gypsy Jokaz gang began their conflict with the white supremacist biker group known as the Holy Aryan 88s, and the team began a very busy period of attempting to interdict between these two groups even if they were not strictly metahuman crimes. Diplomacy was attempted but ultimately both groups were wiped out with a grisly rate of innocent bystander survival; neither is considered active in the Midwest due to sheer bloody attrition-analysts have said that there was no way for a small team of 12-13 metahumans to effectively intervene between a large scale conflict between masked criminal gangs. It was at this time that development of the S.U.P.L.E.X App and the Auxilary Militia were kicked into high gear, becoming one of the team's most controversial policies-that of training arming and recruiting non-metapowered civilian volunteers for large scale casualty events. Even from their Republican governor, this was considered an endorsement of armed extremism, not exactly helped by the World's Luckiest Detective's sales of T-shirts which read "Fuck yeah, armed extremism." Still, the S.U.P.L.E.X. Auxiliary Militia remains active in all 6 territories as of this writing.
