Department of Superhuman Affairs

The Department of Superhuman Affairs (DSA) is a United States federal government department, like the Department of the Interior, rather than an agency, like the FBI. This is important; it means that the Secretary of Superhuman Affairs is a member of the President's cabinet and reports to him/her directly. Without its own law-enforcement arm, the DSA relies on the US Marshals Service, which has its own chain of command. The DSA also directs a branch of the Secret Service, fielding breakthrough agents whose main responsibility is the protection of the President and the federal government from superhuman threats.

Both US Super-Marshals and Secret Service agents are sent, with lawyers and investigators, when it looks like "supervillains" might be compromising local government and law enforcement. Lastly, the DSA works closely with the FBI on counter-terrorism and counter-intelligence operations, and aids the Justice Department in its mission to prosecute civil rights violations and public corruption when breakthroughs are involved. All this creates something of a mess of competing missions, but it also means the officials and agents of the DSA work very closely with the other federal departments and the Secretary of Superhuman Affairs (called the Director in-house and by the media) is senior to the directors of the various agencies. There are no DSA "superheroes." DSA superhumans always dress civilian or in DSA uniforms.

Director Kayle is the current head of the DSA, having been appointed by President Touches Clouds after his own 8 year presidency.
