Legend's Squad
The elite, temporary command force led by the Triumvirate's brightest star.
Legend's Squad is an informal designation often used by fans and observers to describe the ad-hoc task forces commanded by the Triumvirate member Legend during major crises. Unlike permanent teams such as the Wards or New Wave, this group does not have a fixed roster or charter. Instead, it refers to the coalition of high-level heroes that Legend coordinates during Endbringer attacks and catastrophic events, leveraging his status as one of Earth Bet's most powerful capes.

Lore & Background
During the Leviathan attack in Brockton Bay, this dynamic was most visible. Heroes from various cities converged under a unified command structure where Legend took point. While they lacked the camaraderie of long-standing teams like the Wards, their shared purpose was absolute survival and containment. The dissolution of these groups is immediate once the threat subsides, with members returning to their home branches or solo patrols.
Reader's Guide
The group lacks a formal hierarchy beyond Legend's field command authority. Ideologically, they operate under the Protectorate's mandate to protect humanity from extinction-level threats, prioritizing containment over capture during Endbringer engagements. Key members fluctuate based on availability but frequently include other Triumvirate members and high-tier Pros like Armsmaster or local directors. There is no permanent base of operations; deployments occur wherever a major threat manifests, often utilizing PRT mobile command centers or temporary staging grounds in affected cities.
Throughout the story, this grouping evolves from a loose coalition into a more structured response protocol as the Endbringer frequency increases. However, it never solidifies into a standing faction like New Wave. Its dissolution is inherent to its nature; once the crisis passes, the 'squad' disbands, returning heroes to their respective jurisdictions and duties.
