Psi-Force was a group of teens that had, after the mysterious White Event, developed strange psionic powers. These particular teens were all on a list of potential psychics created by Emmett Proudhawk, a CIA operative that was investigating such things to counter similar resarch conducted by the Soviets. This list, however, had been sold by a rogue agent to various corporate and national interests.

Knowing the imminent danger these kids were in because of his work, Emmett himself left the CIA, doing everything he could to save as many of these teens as was possible. He managed to rescue five of 'em before his death, and they stuck together after that, though it was unwillingly at first. Over the years of the team's existence, the following paranormals were a part of Psi-Force:

Healer: Anastasia Inyushin was dragged to the Siberian Project after the 'mysterious' death of her entire family. Liberated by Emmett Proudhawk, she eventually made her way from the U.S.S.R. to the United States, where she joined Psi-force for protection from the K.G.B. Availability:

Johnny Do: autistic and dyslexic, Johnny Do is a child that was locked up in a Soviet sanitarium for years, even after he developed his parability. Eventually liberated by Psi-force, Johnny slowly began to recover from years of abuse and joined their paramilitary action. Availability:

Network: Wayne Tucker was an abused youth who'd always been 'charismatic'. When the White Event amplified this tendency dramatically, he became one of many psis sought out by various villains, and after joining the Psi-force for mutual protection became their leader. Availability:

Overtime: Lindsey Falmon grew up in an empty family life, and was lonely until the day she met the one and only Wayne Tucker. Instantly taking a like to this rebel, she wound up joining him and his Psi-Force friends in their efforts to remain free from the government. Availability:

Psi-Hawk: created by the concentration of at least one of the original psionic paranormals collected by the late Emmett Proudhawk, this amalgamated energy being is the ultimate weapon in the Psi-Force team's arsenal - a combination of all their powers and psyches. Availability:

Salvo: Michael Crawley was a stereotypical nerd, more interested in science than in people. When the White Event 'blessed' him with the ability to blow things up with his mind, his lack of social skills hindered his ability to mesh with Psi-force for quite a while. Availability:

Sedara: a young Mujahedin warrior with the parability of teleportation, Sedara Bakut used them to devastating effect against the Soviets. Of course, when her own father betrayed her to the enemy, she decided she was done with that war, and joined Psi-force instead. Availability:

Shockwave: Kathy Ling was a spoiled rich girl who felt like a freak after gaining impressive telekinetic powers. Though she hated them at first, she eventually grew to revel in her might when she'd had enough of being hounded by various villains intent on using her. Availability:

Syphon: Thomas Boyd was a damaged youth brought up in a bizarre household, one that only grew wierder after he accidentally killed his sister. When his powers manifested, he was shaped into a killing machine by Derek Shiningstar, but eventually struck out on his own. Availability:

Voyager: Tyrone Jessup was on the verge of running away before he gained his powers - and quickly left home afterward. Of course, he wound up running for quite some time, since all manner of evil people were out to capture him and his friends to harness their powers. Availability:

Government Meddlers (American and Otherwise):

Mindwolf: his ambition amplified exponentially after gaining incredible psychic powers, this K.G.B. operative decided that only he was fit to run the Soviet Union, and intended to collect all the paranormals he could get his hand on to do his bidding - no matter the cost. Availability:

Emmett Proudhawk: a C.I.A. operative investigating the paranormal, Emmett went rogue after his partner sold his list of potential psis to various foreign and corporate interests. He did everything he could to protect his charges, which ultimately cost him his life. Availability:

Michael Proudhawk: the cousin of Emmett Proudhawk, Michael also entered government service along him and Derek Shiningstar. Like his cousin, Michael has powerful telepathic abilities, as well as the power to summon forth an apparent Psi-Hawk, all by himself, to do his bidding! Availability:

Derek Shiningstar: a close friend of Emmett Proudhawk's, Derek entered government service with the man. Of course, Derek then sold out Emmett and his work to the highest bidder in order to secure a piece of the psi pie for himself, which ultimately cost him his life...! Availability:

the Skipper: good friend of Emmett Proudhawk and ex-wife of Colby Shaw, it was inevitable that the Skipper wind up being involved in the lives of Proudhawk's psionic charges. Though he was friendly to him at first, his attitude changed after they got Colby killed... Availability:

Jake Travest: though an unrepentant, cold-blooded killer, the mentally imbalanced Jake Travest was assigned to be Jenny Swensen's assistant during her time with Codename: Spitfire. When she abruptly quit the group, Jake was chosen to pilot her armor in her absence. Availability:

Serge Vladimiroff: a K.G.B. operative, Serge has served both at home and on American soil when needed. He's been his government's main point man on paranormal operations at home and abroad, and oversees the Siberian Project and all its troublesome staff and subjects. Availability:

Last but not Least:

Andrew Chaser: a freelance reporter with several biting non-fiction books under his belt, along with pieces in newspapers and national magazines through the years, Andrew Chaser knows a good story when he sees it - which usually gets him in all kinds of trouble. Availability:

Other Groups of Note:

the Medusa Web: founded in 1969 by Alexei Ruyanev, this group of subversives is out to achieve a sort of world government, though their plan for doing so is somewhat bizarre; in essence, they wish to unite the world by rallying it against a singular threat - the Medusa Web! Originally working in a standard military sense, the Web has recently augmented their forces with paranormal warriors...

Crasniye Solleetsi (Red Sun): created by the secretive K.G.B. program known only as the Siberian Project, this group of paranormal soldiers was designed to augment Soviet armed forces in the field. Of course, while the group had a competent field leader, it contained the demonic paranormal monstrosity calling itself Rodstvow, so their ultimate fate was never really in doubt...
