SHADOW Agents

SHADOW is the Secret Hiearchy of Agents for Domination Over the World. It is a secret organization operating world wide to expand the power-base of its leader Overshadow. Overshadow has access to top of the line technology and a vast army of loyal clones.

I've taken to seeing SHADOW as Cobra from the G.I. Joe cartoons. Even used a modified image of Cobra Commander (the version from the IDW series), as Umbral Knight, the local SHADOW leader. So SHADOW now has a selection of special agent types as varied as a heavily merchandised toy line requires.

Most SHADOW agents are expendible, receiving little training and equipment, achieving their objectives with numbers. But sometimes, SHADOW requires more skilled agents with specific talents and equipment. Most of these should still be treated as minions, unless they're the central element of the encounter

When mobility is important, or targets are inaccessible, SHADOW has a limited number of Teleport Packs available. Porter Agents are often equipped with timed cluster grenades, dealing damage over a wide area after they've already left. Or special gauntlets making it easier for the agents to grapple and abduct targets

Shock Troopers are heavily enhanced super-soldiers. They are armed with the heaviest armor and weapons that SHADOW can give them. They are a fierce sight on the battlefield, sent in to the heaviest combat or to engage superhuman opponents. SHADOW scientists continue to work to correct the problems with their unstable power packs.
