Several other versions of Seeker and Solitaire exist as well. We use the Champions Universe versions for all the Champions, except for Seeker and Solitaire. We use the version of Solitaire presented in The Ultimate Supermage as it reflects the character at the start of her career. She'll eventually grow into The Ultimate Mentalist version. We use Seeker from the 4th Edition Rulebook as he is at the start of his career, and the other versions are far more powerful right now. Quantum was renamed Tritium to avoid confusion with our own Quantum. | ||

| Base of Operations: | New York City, New York | Headquarters: | The Garden |
| Current Membership: | The Master (Team Leader), Aureole, Blackfire, Kor Hunter, Moonsilver, Willow Witch | ||
| Notes: | The Circle is not a superhero team, rather it is a school for magicians and those with mystical powers. Many mages on other hero teams have roots in the Circle: the Enchantress, Scarlet Sorceress, and Warlock to name a few. The current batch of full time students is listed under Membership. The Master is an immensely powerful and mysterious being who does not partake in adventuring. The Circle appears in Organization Book 1: The Circle and METE.

The group decided to stay together and became known as the Protectors, adding other members as the years passed. The Protector's are fully described in the To Serve and Protect Champions Adventure.

| Current Membership: | Deathsinger (Group Leader), Arrowhead, Death Commando, Frost, Stinger | ||
| Notes: | The Destroyers have the ambitious goal of taking over the world. Unfortunately, their plans blow up in their faces more often than not, giving the team a reputation as one of the least dangerous supervillain groups. The Destroyers originally appeared in Enemies II, changed their name to Deathstroke in the Champions Adventure of the same name, and were upgraded to 4th Edition in Champions Universe. The events in Deathstroke, the modual, have yet to occur. | ||

Iron Maiden, the group, is a collection of normal operatives and superpowered agents gathered from the four corners of the Earth. The Iron Maiden is a close associate of Dr. Destroyer and widely believed to be his lover. It is known that Destroyer constructed the Iron Maiden's armor, much like he had for Professor Muerte of Terror Incorporated. The psionic Mentalla was another of his gifts. Iron Maiden keeps an eye on technological advances in North America for Destroyer, seeing if there is any interesting discovery that can be added to Destroyer's knowledge. Mentalla is presented in Classic Enemies. Domino and Solar (name changed from Helios to avoid confusion with the Protector) are from Enemies Assembled. Kinetron and Impulse are from High Tech Enemies. Myrmidon is the re-named Gladiator from European Enemies. | ||

| Current Membership: | Scorpia (Group Leader), Black Hole, Lightmaster, Mind Slayer, Shamrock. | ||
| Notes: | Terror Unlimited is a new group and organization created by Scorpia. Tired of being surrounded by the other hideous members of Terror Incorporated, Scorpia abandoned her teammates and struck out on her own. Shamrock was her first recruit, closely followed by the villainous Spectrum (now calling himself Lightmaster) and the psionic Mind Slayer. Turns out that Lightmaster's true superpowers is the ability to mimic the powers of other supers, but he needs regular contact to maintain his abilities. Having been out of contact for too long with the real Spectrum, Lightmaster fell back into his true form and is currently comatose. Recently the Thugmaster Elite graduate Black Hole was added to the group. | ||

Rainbow is Spectra from Enemies III renamed. Chaos and Lightwave are Wee Willie and Microwave, renamed from the GSVC. The Black Diamond from Classic Enemies was renamed Titania to avoid confusion with the heroine of the same name.
