The Protectorate

In exchange for government funding and legitimacy, the Protectorate has agreed to follow a special set of laws laid out for capes, to accept bureaucratic oversight and cooperate with local authorities. Works in conjunction with the PRT, the Parahuman Response Team, a police/emergency response team trained to deal with ‘capes’ and the fallout of their altercations.

Brockton Bay’s team is one of many such teams spread across North America and Canada.

The underage Heroes can't join The Protectorate until they are over 18, but they can join The Wards in the meantime.
