Description

Around 75% of capes here are villains in league with various criminal factions and cartels. The government sponsors many of these villains and seemingly supports them as corruption is very high.<ref>South America

That which is the case in America is almost the inverse in South America. The government supports villains and heroes are working against the system and the general leaning of society to get a foothold. They're frequently romanticized and played up, and image/public appeal is a weapon/propaganda tool/means of survival, when one might need frequent hiding places or assistance in getting shit done. You know how Skitter dealt with the Mayor and Triumph? That was business as usual in South America, if things weren't worse. Then the local powers bent their heads and dropped to their knees and agreed to play ball. There's a big divide between public and powers. - Reddit 2</ref> The remaining 25% of capes are heroes working against the system and are thus seen as rogue agents.<ref name="25.6">Spider silk extended between me and the various capes around me. These guys were South American. Three out of four would be in league with the various criminal factions and cartels. One in four were ‘heroes’. I couldn’t tell the difference between them. The cues and details in their costumes weren’t ones I was familiar with. The choices in color, style, attitude and more were too similar. A cultural gap I couldn’t wrap my head around, in any event.

Things were confused further by the fact that, by many accounts, the villains running or serving within the cartels were the ones sponsored by the government. The ‘heroes’, in turn, were rogue agents. - Excerpt from Scarab 25.6</ref>

History

Timeskip

Uber, Circus, and Leet travelled to South America and tried to stay under the radar. However, after getting into trouble and crossing the wrong people, Leet was killed.<ref>Quest Premise: In South America, Über, Circus and Leet are making their way through the city after having left Brockton Bay. It’s a situation as simple as flying under the radar, playing nice, and being cool, calm and efficient, so as not to stir up trouble with the locals.

Spoiler: Leet is bad at this.

Spoiler: Things get worse when his luggage is looted, and his laptop with notes on what inventions are mostly okay for him to make is taken, along with the reality hacker.

Spoiler: Leet dies. - Leet Quest</ref><ref>“Something happened to Leet,” I concluded. “Only way he’d be that… rudderless.”
“Crossed the wrong people, got offed,” Glenn told me. - Cockroaches 28.6</ref>
