'''Hero Corps''' is an international private superhero organization, similar in some ways to the [[Freedom Corps]].

= In-Game History =

Hero Corps was the brainchild of '''Rebecca Foss''', a London-born executive who was inspired by the Russian-based [[Valiant Defenders]] to create her own international group. With the help of retired superhero and [[Freedom Phalanx]] member [[Luminary]], she recruited the best around the world to create Hero Corps, and then franchised the buisness to all of the major cities around the world.

The first franchise branch of Hero Corps opened in Mexico City in 1995, with members recruited from the area and then trained by Luminary in their private facility in Providence, Rhode Island. Following the success of this branch, three more offices opened up in Rio, Jakarta, and Johannesburg, each recruiting local talent and then trained and supervised by Hero Corps executives. Eventually Hero Corps would have over thirty branch offices set up in cities all around the world.
