Overview
Spectrum is a supergroup based out of Paragon City, operating out of its base in Brickstown affectionately referred to as 'the Prism.' Though originally formed in 2019 to counter the threat of a specific villain, a new Spectrum rose from the ashes in January of 2024. Today, Spectrum's heroes take the fight to all manner of supervillains, supercriminals, and other forces threatening the peace of Paragon City.

Notable Allies
- Bianca DiTraccia: An experienced lawyer at the Paragon City-based law firm of Brodsky, DiTraccia & Morelli, as well as the original Lightbrand from the late 90's through 2012, and the aunt & childhood guardian of the current-day Lightbrand. "Aunt Bianca" has occasionally assisted Spectrum with legal matters and in providing her expertise as a former heroine.
- Dana Frost: A former Rogue Isles denizen turned unlikely do-gooder, Dana Frost's involvement with Spectrum began when she participated in one of Spectrum's periodic training tournaments. Since then, she has been a friend and ally to the team, acting as an advisor in matters of a magical nature.
- Phobia: A heroine with decades of expertise, and a member of Spectrum's 2019 incarnation. While obligations elsewhere have prevented her from officially joining the team's more recent roster, she has been a steadfast ally, frequently assisting in Spectrum's adventures.
- Valerie Masters: The original Ms. Maxima and the mother of both Impact Girl and the current Ms. Maxima. While she lost her powers in January 2024, Valerie has remained an ally of the reborn Spectrum, assisting with the team's administrative duties, providing combat training, and acting as a liaison to City Hall when matters there call for her particular way of getting things done.
Notable Enemies
- Arachnos: Since the team's rebirth, Spectrum has been a regular thorn in the side of Arachnos' ambitions in Paragon City. The team has made headlines for thwarting a number of high-profile heists and schemes orchestrated by the spider-themed autocrats.
- The Iron Army: A ruthless faction of invaders from another timeline, the Iron Army fills their ranks with the mechanized corpses of the fallen. The Iron Army's attempt to establish a beachhead in this timeline was thwarted by Spectrum in May 2024.
- The Mayhem Pack: In August 2024, Spectrum was instrumental in apprehending the Mayhem Pack, a group of six costumed supercriminals who had recently escaped from Zigursky Penitentiary. This incident involved the escaped villains building a device dubbed the Waveform Abrogator, which allegedly could have turned Kallisti Wharf into a new Faultline if the Pack's enormous ransom demands were not met. Spectrum's intervention instead saw that all the Mayhem Pack got for their efforts was a return trip to the Zig.
- The Outsiders: Brought to Spectrum's attention by the arrival of the timeline-hopping heroine Lapse, the Outsiders are mysterious and hostile denizens of a strange space in between timelines.
