== '''Government Agencies''' ==

=== Checkmate ===
'''[[Checkmate]]''' is a secret government organisation that owns/controls [[Queen Consolidated]]. It was created by a mix of government agents and Golden Age vigilantes to covertly protect America after the Justice Society disbanded.

It recruits veterans from the military and other agencies, and also employs mercenaries and convicted criminals (ie. [[Suicide Squad]]) for it's less savoury missions.

=== Department of Extranormal Operations ===
The '''[[Department of Extranormal Operations|DEO]]''' is government agency established to investigate, monitor, and police metahumans and extraterrestrials, as well as incidents involving unregulated advanced technologies and artefacts or individuals of a magical nature. While the DEO is not specifically responsible for acts of vigilantism, they do provide support to local law enforcement when heroes or vigilantes have abilities or technology that are beyond what law enforcement is equipped to deal with. Some heroes, vigilantes, and even criminals agreed to work with the DEO to avoid criminal prosecution, such as [[Booster Gold]].
