Strictly speaking, ARGUS was more like a legitimate intelligence agency. Its employees lurked in the shadows, doing sneaky, mysterious work.
When dirty work needed doing, they sent out the Suicide Squad. Even if they left corpses strewn everywhere, outsiders would never know the connection between the two.
The agents lurked in the shadows. They could be the neighbor beside you, the old man selling hot dogs on the corner, or even your dog. But most of the time, they would not expose their identities. They merely gathered intelligence. Based on Su Ming's experience from his previous life, there were around three thousand agents in total.
After the Leviathan Event, ARGUS naturally suffered losses as an intelligence agency as well. Its current situation was unclear.
As for the DEO, its full name was the Department of Extranormal Operations. It was more like a violent authority aimed at Superhumans. It had its own subordinate G.I. Joe units, as well as aircraft carriers, nuclear bombs, and other weapons at its disposal.
For example, if a Superhuman caused trouble somewhere, the DEO would dispatch an agent squad to handle it. Such a team generally numbered around two hundred, and when necessary, they would use heavy weapons such as cruise missiles, fighter jets, and robots.
That sounded fine, right? But the key problem was that their stance was far too extreme.
They regarded everyone with superpowers as freaks. They either had to be contained and controlled, or exterminated.
Continuing with that example, if a DEO agent squad arrived at the scene and found a Superhero fighting a supervillain, they would definitely attack both of them at once. There was no other reason. In their eyes, good people ought to have guns pointed at them.
