Office of Superhuman Affairs

The Office of Superhuman Affairs (OSA) is a United States federal government agency that's part of United States Intelligence Community, like the FBI. Even though the OSA is under Homeland Security, the Director of Superhuman Affairs is a member of the President's cabinet and reports to him/her directly. The OSA is primarily a domestic agency, maintaining field offices in major cities throughout the United States, and several resident agencies in smaller cities and areas across the nation. At an OSA field office, a senior-level OSA officer concurrently serves as the representative for the Director of Superhuman Affairs.

Despite its domestic focus, the OSA also operates several offices and sub-offices in U.S. embassies and consulates across the globe primarily for the purpose of coordination with foreign security services in the host countries. The OSA can and does at times carry out secret activities overseas.

Their elite tactical unit is the Superhuman Tactical and Retrieval Unit (SURTR) that responds to superhuman terrorist threats of all types anywhere in the world in order to protect our nation’s homeland. SURTR often used to provide a tactical federal law enforcement capability across the country, helping with security for events such as the Super Bowl, as well as being deployed to natural disaster areas to ensure that civil unrest does not break out.

The OSA has its own law-enforcement arm and directs a branch of the Secret Service, fielding superhuman agents whose main responsibility is the protection of the President and the federal government from superhuman threats.

OSA agents are sent, with investigators, when it looks like "supervillains" might be compromising local government and law enforcement. Lastly, the OSA works closely with the FBI and the CIA on counter-terrorism and counter-intelligence operations, and aids the Justice Department in its mission to prosecute civil rights violations and public corruption when supers are involved. Officials and agents of the OSA work very closely with the other federal departments and when it comes to superhuman matters, the Director has seniority.

The OSA's main goal is to protect and defend the United States from superhuman threats, monitor superhuman activity, study superhumans, combat superhuman-based criminal enterprises, support federal, state, local and international partners.

There are no OSA "superheroes." OSA superhuman agents always dress civilian or in OSA uniforms.
