The Patriot Actors are a team of government-sponsored superheroes, first seen publicly during the Salko Incident in 1984. Increasingly throughout the current history of the Earth, beings possessed of powers and abilities far removed from those of normal men have taken it upon themselves to police and combat those who would use their abilities for criminal activities. At first, such individuals were rare enough to largely ignore, but as time went on, more and more of these beings appeared or manifested, with each new generation displaying abilities far greater than their predecessors.
