}}'''New Wave''', originally '''the Brockton Bay Brigade''', is a family group of heroes operating in [[Brockton Bay]].<ref name="intro">''Originally the Brockton Bay Brigade, this group of heroes briefly became the subject of national attention when they unmasked publicly, rechristening themselves New Wave.  Advocating superheroes without secrets and full accountability, they attempted to start a movement that stalled when a team member was murdered in her civilian identity.  The team consisted of two related nuclear families, who have all become celebrities of a sort, wearing costumes without masks or helmets, each white with an emblem personal to the member.<br><br>Disbanded, though many members remain in Brockton Bay, some operating individually while others have retired from a life as a cape.'' - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/cast/ Cast (In Depth)]</ref> It's one of the only teams to not draw a clear line between civilian and cape identities.<ref name="WoG2"/>

==''Modus operandi''==
<!--Describe how the group operates.
-->Intended as the start to a movement of publicly accountable superheroes without secret identities, 
New Wave was meant to be much bigger than it ultimately was. The death of Fleur put an end to the groups upwards trajectory and stalled them at the level of a small town super team, supplementary to but independent of the local PRT.

In the field, they run into logistics issues based on the ability of some of their number to fly while others cannot.<ref>I had intentionally chosen a less level area.  We were on a hill, playing on a bit of a slope, roughly a ten degree decline with taller grass, weeds, and some pebbly dirt covering the area.  Some trees and rocks dotted the space between where their group would set up and where we would.<br><br>I had a few reasons for choosing the area.  Part of it played off something I had experienced with New Wave.  The team had always been split between the fliers and the people on the ground.  Me, Aunt Sarah, Crystal and Eric had all been airborne, while my Uncle Neil, Mom, and Dad had all been landbound.  It created a dilemma in logistics, and this slightly sloped ground and uneven terrain emphasized that logistics in a way that having to go through and around buildings might in the city. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/01/13/glare-3-3/ Excerpt] from [[Glare 3.3]]</ref> Nonetheless, they knew how to fight as a team to the point where opponents believed it was instinctual.<ref>The woman flew, and the man jumped back.  The directions they moved made it hard to pursue both- and it seemed instinctual.<br><br>They knew how to fight as a team, and they didn’t even have the sense to avoid using their civilian names? - [[Eclipse x.5]]</ref>

In modern day, New Wave's jurisdiction is the south end of [[downtown]] and [[the Towers]].<ref>“Did you know Dauntless?”<br><br>“I ran into him on patrol here and there.  We had a jurisdiction we were supposed to stick to, and it was close to his, south end of downtown and the Towers.  We’d meet and compare notes.”<br><br>“Was he nice?”<br><br>“Yep.  It’s… kind of one of those things where I wish I’d done something different.  Back then I just wanted to patrol more, so if my dad stopped and had a twenty minute talk with Dauntless, I’d be so eager to get going again I wouldn’t be listening.  Now I kind of wish I paid more attention when the more legitimate heroes were talking.”<br><br>''Especially with how things turned out for him.'' - [[From Within 16.7]]</ref><ref>Atlas carried me into the nice part of town, southwest of the Towers.  The Christian private school wasn’t far from here.  Immaculata.  New Wave was also based here.  I kind of hoped I didn’t cross paths with them.  If they shared any of Flechette’s opinions about me being at least partially to blame for whatever had happened with Panacea and Glory Girl, well, they’d be even less inclined to hold back. - [[Colony 15.8]]</ref> All members except [[Amy Dallon]]<ref>Sveta said my words.  “You never went out into the field, Amy.  You hated caping.  She used her power around her mom and her dad, around Crystal, around Shielder, and even her boyfriend more than she used it around you.  At higher and lower intensities.  If it had that effect, it wouldn’t have been you.” - [[Sundown 17.8]]</ref><ref>“Hmmm,” Lung spoke, “The healer.  A young heroine in New Wave.  Brown haired, like you.  When I was in custody, my flesh blackening and falling off, they had her come in and mend the worst of it.  As I understand it, she does not patrol as the others do.” - [[Interlude 10.5]]</ref> had schedules for patrolling their area,<ref>It hadn’t been long after that that we’d had our first night together.  It had taken two days of desperate attempts at coordinating schedules and patrols, for me to get out without family wanting to join me, for Dean to avoid the ‘sidekick’ situation and go out in costume without a Protectorate member joining him.<br><br>My heart hurt, thinking of Dean.  My knight in shining armor. - [[Daybreak 1.5]]</ref><ref>“I can second the recommendation if it matters,” Laserdream said.<br><br>“It helps,” the guy said.  “If she causes trouble, you know it’s your ass in the fire.”<br><br>“Understood, sir,” she said.  “I’ve been doing patrols with her since before I could drive.  I’d trust her with my life.  I’m optimistic my ass will remain room temperature.”<br><br>“Don’t get smart.  I don’t want her with the formation.  If she wants in, she needs to apply and train.”<br><br>“She doesn’t-” Laserdream said, at the same time I said, “I don’t-”<br><br>Laserdream ceded to me. - [[Flare 2.3]]</ref><ref>“Because you’re both easy to talk to,” Vista said.<br><br>“I don’t think that’s precisely it,” my mom said.  “The kind of behavior Crystal describes stems from a place of insecurity, or deep anxiety.  While I’m sure you have your worries and anxieties, Vista I think you’re stronger than that.  Every time I’ve talked to someone who knew you and your name came up, whether it was Dean talking about paired patrols while having dinner at our house, running into Miss Militia on patrol and catching up with her, or even the staff at the Heroes for Healing charity drive, they came away with a strong impression of you, not a timid or defensive one.”<br><br>“Uh, thanks,” Vista said.  “I’m a bit surprised by that.”<br><br>“By all accounts, and I’ll stress that I’ve seen people champing at the bit for chances to give their accounting, you’re a capable young woman, Vista.  Don’t devalue yourself or reduce yourself down.” - [[Sundown 17.4]]</ref> especially when [[Brockton Bay]] was under a state of turmoil.<ref>Neil and Eric were nearby, both in costume already.  Shawn idly wondered if they slept in the things, or if they hadn’t slept at all last night, and had been on their way back from patrol.  The bombings had only calmed down a short while ago, and they had been immediately followed up by the attacks by Empire Eighty-Eight, with Purity’s rampage. - [[Heavens 12.none]]</ref> Most notably, they went after [[Empire Eighty-Eight]] hard<ref>“I wanted to say,” Theo said.  “Victoria, uh… ''thank you''?”<br><br>“For what?”<br><br>“This is a weird thing to bring up.  But back when I was just in my first year of High School, you went after the gangs pretty hard.”<br><br>I winced.<br><br>“The Empire in particular?”<br><br>“I regret how I went about that,” I said.<br><br>“You shouldn’t,” he said. - [[Polarize 10.10]]</ref> in an attempt to get them out of the area and inspire others to reject the Empire.<ref>“Is it the enemy or the ally that’s the problem?” I asked.<br><br>“Enemies absolutely.  ''This'' is the time I can get the Empire out of the south end of the towers.  ''This'' is the time we make enough of an impact that the heroes rise in prominence and the villains suffer.  Maybe then that kid who is on the fence about joining her neo nazi family might instead decide to reject hate and be a contributing member of society.  I don’t know.  Ally?  Hm.”<br><br>“Hm,” I echoed him. - [[Sundown 17.9]]</ref> For example, their efforts helped a young [[Theo Anders]] realize he didn't like the Empire.<ref>“It’s late,” I said.  “Sorry.  You were saying?”<br><br>“The guy came back hurt and I was happy about it.  Fucker deserved it.  Realizing I was happy wasn’t when I realized I didn’t like the Empire.  But it was step seven or eight in ten steps?  I don’t know how I would have ended up if I hadn’t had that.  If I’d missed a step or two or three.”<br><br>I nodded. - [[Polarize 10.10]]</ref>

Members of New Wave also checked in on crisis points (e.g., people who had really bad days), albeit to a lesser extent than the [[PRT]].<ref>“Back before everything turned sour, when I’d come to the hospital, with, um-” I stopped, drew in a breath, and sighed.  “It’s something heroes would do.  Check in on people who had really bad days.  And when I came to the hospital, sometimes I’d do that.”<br><br>Crisis points.  More a PRT thing than a New Wave thing, but we’d done a small share.  Looking out for the recent triggers, putting our faces and names out there, staying in touch with the public. - [[Flare 2.2]]</ref>

==Structure==
New Wave is a team consisting of two related nuclear families, perhaps best known for their advocacy of superheroes without secrets and full accountability.<ref name="intro"/> In the past, they received national attention when they unmasked publicly after their take-down of [[Marquis]],<ref>“You know Neil and I don’t have that much money.  Neil isn’t having luck finding work, and all our funding from the team is going into the New Wave plan, which won’t happen for a few months, and we have two hungry mouths to feed…”<br><br>Brandish grasped her sister’s meaning.  With a sick feeling in her gut, she spoke the idea aloud.  “You want Mark and I to take her.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/interlude-15-donation-bonus/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15.x]]</ref> taking the name New Wave at the same time.<ref name="intro"/> Their movement quickly stalled at its peak with the death of [[Fleur]], who was murdered in her civilian identity. [[Lightstar]] left the team and resumed his concealed identity as a result.<ref name="LG" />

In modern day, their roster has expanded, with all four of their children having powers of their own. All members are celebrities of a sort, wearing costumes without masks or helmets, each white with an emblem unique to each the member.<ref name="intro"/>

==PRT Response==
As a [[PRT]]-affiliated team, New Wave engaged in [[Merchandise|merchandising]] alongside more official heroes, as well as their own local fundraising events and photoshoots.<ref name="2.1 ePRT">“Extended family.  They passed the fifteen year mark with just donations and small events.  I think that counts for something.<br>[...]<br>I spent most of my childhood watching my mom balance the books, I did the events, the photoshoots, the merchandising as a PRT-acknowledged team.  I have something of a sense of what you’re probably going for.”<br><br>“Ah, the merchandising.  I think I have your PRT trading card from that time period in a binder in my office.”<br><br>I smiled.  “Which one?  I had one that was holographic, which you could swipe through the controller for the video game to have me as a polygon-rendered helper, and the higher quality one that had the bio on the back.” - [[Flare 2.1]]</ref>

==History==
===Background===
The Brockton Bay Brigade was a standard, unofficial superteam founded by the three siblings Lady Photon, Brandish and Lightstar. Each brought their current partners at the time into the team, husbands (Manpower and Flashbang), and Lightstar's girlfriend Fleur.<ref name="WoG2"/> The Brockton Bay Brigade was led by Manpower.<ref name="Wedit">[http://worm.wikia.com/wiki/Manpower?oldid=4536 Edit by Wildbow]<br>Note that some of this edit [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/37804044/ is not canon].</ref> They clashed with [[Marquis]] and [[Empire Eighty-Eight]] among other Brockton Bay villains.

The team was rechristened New Wave and its members unmasked, in an effort to be a new breed of publicly accountable superhero. Leadership of the new team was passed to Lady Photon. For a time they became national celebrities. They even deployed to [[Boston]] to deal with an upswing in the criminal community there.<ref>“Heroes, like the PRT, and like my family’s team, followed, to try and keep the peace until things settled.  My family’s team was Lady Photon, Manpower, Flashbang, Brandish, Lightstar and Fleur.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/23/flare-2-5/ Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.5]]</ref>

The group's sucess would not last. The wind was taken out of their sails when Fleur was assassinated in her civilian identity by an unpowered street criminal looking to gain influence with Empire Eighty Eight; Lightstar left the team shortly thereafter.<ref name="WoG2">[http://worm.wikia.com/wiki/New_Wave?oldid=4170 Edit by Wildbow]<br>Later [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/37804044/ updated by Wildbow].</ref> With the risks of publicly unmasking now on full display, the driving concept of unmasked heroism failed to gain traction outside of the two founding families of New Wave. Despite their ideological defeat, the team retained some degree of celebrity.
=== Story Start ===
[[Worm]] places most focus on the Dallon branch of New Wave, particularly [[Panacea]] and [[Glory Girl]]. As a team, New Wave makes it first appearance during the outing of members of [[Empire Eighty-Eight]],<ref>Lady Photon’s daughter and niece were in the air with her.  Laserdream and Glory Girl.  Mother and daughter shared the same general powers; flight, the ability to raise forcefield bubbles around themselves, and the ability to project lasers from their hands.  As a consequence, their fight with Purity was something of a light show. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/buzz-7-9/ Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.9]]</ref><ref>As she targeted Glory Girl, one of Purity’s blasts of light slammed into the edge of a rooftop.  Debris showered down, but was deflected by a bright blue forcefield.  That would be Shielder’s power at work.  He fought alongside Flashbang and Brandish, and I could identify Krieg, Victor, Othala and Alabaster in their immediate vicinity.  Further away were Night, Fog, Panacea, Vista and Clockblocker. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/buzz-7-9/ Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.9]]</ref> quickly followed by the battle against [[Leviathan]],<ref>The kids from New Wave were near the Wards -Glory Girl, Panacea, Laserdream and Shielder- but they weren’t really joining in with the conversation the Wards were having.  I could see Glory Girl and Gallant standing together; she was holding his hand.  Panacea was sitting backwards on a chair just beside where Glory Girl stood, her arms folded over the chair back, chin resting on her wrists.  She glared at the two of us, though the look was mainly directed at Tattletale.  Near Panacea, the adults of New Wave had pulled the folding chairs into a rough circle so they could sit while they talked in a bit of a huddle. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/03/extermination-8-1/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.1]]</ref> where they lose [[Manpower]]<ref name="Manpower"/> and [[Shielder]].<ref name="Shielder"/>  [[Flashbang]] survives the fight but receives a severe head injury with long-term debilitating effects.<ref name="Flashbang"/> The team considered disbanding as a result.<ref>“New Wave may be disbanding.  My mom suggested that if I wanted to keep being a hero, I should consider joining the Wards.  So I’m here, checking things out.  Your leader and director okayed it.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/sentinel-9-3/ Excerpt] from [[Sentinel 9.3]]</ref>

===Post-[[Battle against Leviathan]]===
The attack by the [[Slaughterhouse Nine]] and the subsequent incarceration of [[Panacea]]<ref name="Panacea"/> and [[Glory Girl]]<ref name="Glory_Girl"/> causes New Wave to fall apart, with some members operating individually and others retiring from cape life entirely.<ref name="intro"/>

===[[Gold Morning]]===
The remaining adult members (Lady Photon, Brandish and Flashbang) are present at the oil rig during [[Gold Morning]].<ref>He approached the crowd, and he stopped in front of a woman I recognized but couldn’t place.<br><br>In the moment she slapped him, I drew the connection.<br><br>Lady Photon.  Sarah Pelham.<br><br>Flashbang and Brandish were with her, looking just as grim.<br><br>All around them, people were tensed for a fight.<br><br>That stopped when Marquis nodded solemnly.  He murmured a few words, then walked away, standing on the same ledge that Acidbath had perched on, a little to the right of Lab Rat and String Theory. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/20/extinction-27-3/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.3]]</ref>

Lady Photon was later killed by [[Scion]], while under the control of [[Khepri]].

==Trivia==
*The Pelham and Dallon families are sometimes used as case studies for research into [[parahumans]] and the nature or distribution of powers,<ref>[[Interlude 3]]</ref><ref name="WoG2"/> due to their known family trees, powers and their dedication to free information.
