Recurring Characters
The Hero Universe has several "standby" characters who have endured since the beginning of Champions and the Hero System. Others, more recently created, have an influence over more than one period of its history (past, present, and/or future) and are worth noting in that context. The most noteworthy of these individuals are:
- The Champions, a premier group of heroes (with a long history of disbanding and re-forming a generation later).
- Doctor Destroyer, a dangerous and powerful megalomaniac.
- Foxbat, a gadget-using lunatic who thinks he's a comic book character.
- Kal-Turak the Destroyer, known as Takofanes in modern day, a powerful lich from centuries past.
- Mechanon, a sentient robot determined to wipe out all organic life.
- The Slug, a member of the Elder Worm alien species (below) who wants to turn all Humanity into his own kind.
Long-standing organizations include:
- UNTIL, the United Nations Tribunal on International Law, an international agency for fighting supervillains.
- VIPER, an international criminal and terrorist organization.
- Eurostar, a European supervillain team

Famous quotes containing the words recurring and/or characters:
“Let us think this thought in its most terrible form: existence as it is, without meaning or aim, and yet recurring inevitably, without a finale in nothingness—”eternal recurrence.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“His leanings were strictly lyrical, descriptions of nature and emotions came to him with surprising facility, but on the other hand he had a lot of trouble with routine items, such as, for instance, the opening and closing of doors, or shaking hands when there were numerous characters in a room, and one person or two persons saluted many people.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
