| The Company is a clandestine espionage organization created after a single or series of terrible incidents involving one or more specially powered. Because of this, they seek out powered agents who they believe are not too dangerous or out of control, especially those they can maneuver into a place where they feel accepted and indebted to the organization. To this end they take all measures to follow and monitor those who may be special. They are also likely trying to develop a program to create these gifts. || The Company employs several agents with [[powers]]: [[The Haitian]] (''[[One Giant Leap]]''), [[Eden McCain]] (''[[Better Halves]]''), [[Claude Rains]] (''[[Company Man]]''), [[Hana Gitelman]] (''[[Wireless, Part 2]]''), and [[Isaac Mendez]].
