@Global Defense Agency (G.D.A.) is a covert paramilitary law-enforcement intelligence-agency tasked with monitoring and handling global superhuman threats. This organization is responsible for protecting the @Earth from various criminal, extraterrestrial, paranormal and supernatural threats, as well as monitoring superpowered individuals. They sponsor the @Guardians of the Globe and frequently employ many other superheroes around the world in order to combat international organized crime, supervillain terrorism, monster attacks, and alien invasions.
The Global Defense Agency is primarily funded and staffed by the United States of America. Yet, the organization's reach is not constrained to any defined nation or borders. With assets across the globe the G.D.A. is capable of striking targets from the deep dark corners of outer space in their solar system to the underwater kingdom of @Atlantis.
In order to accomplish the task of containing threats, monitoring and supervising supernatural and super-powered individuals, and maintaining the Earth's safety the G.D.A. possesses numerous facilities and vehicles. The organization utilizes enhanced equipment (some of questionable ethical origin) in order to supplement or substitute the abilities of superheroes.
The resources and equipment of the G.D.A. are vast. The gigantic operation mostly conducted beneath the Pentagon is likely to result in a gigantic budget. This is put to good use as humanity is protected from the numerous threats from and beyond Earth. Unfortunately, when faced with threats such as Viltrumites even a bottomless defense budget isn't effective. In some cases, if the troops are unable to withstand Viltrumite-like opponents, the director will use more defensive means of accomplishing the goals of safeguarding the earth.
