Giant Monster Guide

There are many frightening and dangerous entities in our world. Some are relatively mundane, such as gang members with super powers, or the clunky clockwork robots of the Clockwork King, while others aspire to grandiose villainy and arch-plans, such as the criminals of the Rogue Isles. But there are some threats that outstrip almost all others, and cause even the greatest heroes (and villains, too, I suppose), pause. The Federal Bureau of Super-powered Affairs calls them “Threats” officially (although they seem to classify everything as a Threat) but they are more commonly referred to among agents by the informal phrase, “Giant Monsters.”
