C.L.A.S.H.

Consortium for Law-Enforcement Action for the Security of Humanity. Reports directly to the United Nations' Secretary-General. The C.L.A.S.H. was created in 1947 by then-U.N. Secretary-General Trygve Lie of Norway, with the active support of U.S. President Harry S. Truman. A third person instrumental in the formation of the C.L.A.S.H. was the mysterious Tanka, a man claiming to be from the African Republic of Karunda, whom Lie had met during WWII. It is claimed that Tanka entrusted Lie with certain secrets which compelled the Secretary-General to then propose the creation of C.L.A.S.H. Headquartered in Aspen, the C.L.A.S.H. hides behind the cover of the multinational C.L.A.S.H. Insurance Corporation. In the intervening years, it has successfully fought numerous terrorist threats to global peace, in particular from the criminal organisation known as CRIMEN, now headed by renegade C.L.A.S.H. agent, Rick Ross IV, a.k.a. Baroud. The C.L.A.S.H. keeps "diamond files" on most of the world's known superhumans.
