Hero Society[]
Most super-heroes are part of the Hero Society. They provide useful services to their members, mostly to protect secret identities. In return, they keep an eye on their membership. To be a member at least one member of the society must know your real name. It can mean a lot to have the Society's stamp of approval. Without it, you're just a weirdo in a cape.
The GM needs to know your character's relationship to the Society. New member, veteran, aspiring member, or rebel.

Monster Society[]
Formerly a broad movement of metahuman supremacists, the Monster Society is now more like a brand name for super-powered thugs. The philosophy of the original monsters has been passed around through super-prisons and metahuman gangs. Believers don't hesitate to call themselves villains. Gangs of monsters like to use words like "Evil" when naming their gangs/teams. It's a symbol of solidarity with the movement.
