"A fully-realized and detailed set of characters with a history to rival any comic book universe, The Algernon Files is an excellent resource for any M&M game."

Steve Kenson
Designer of Mutants & Masterminds
"The Algernon Files is a creative and intriguing comic book setting, full of characters, plots, and details that will grab your attention right off the bat – a superb example of how the HERO System adapts to any setting."
Steve Long
HERO System Line Developer

The Algernon Files is a collection of characters, some friends, some most definitely enemies, that can be thrown into practically any supers' campaign that's even remotely four-color. It captures a degree of modern sensibility in its character design, while keeping the silver and bronze age spirit. Face off against the likes of the supergenius Prometheus, or an ancient god made flesh in the form of the Serpent Queen; decide whose side Hell's Belles are really on, or trade blows with the mighty Magog – and if you feel a little overwhelmed by all the hostile attention, relax by visiting Fortress, expansive HQ for potential allies the Sentinels (tours of the museum and vendor areas are 2-5 PM, weekdays only, thank you), the third team to carry on the legacy of their name.
