The Dragon
Summary
The Dragon is a fragment-empowered superhero operating publicly in the United States. First mentioned during the Voss Dynamics briefing in Session 01 as one of several known enhanced individuals, he has since become a public figure — engaging villains in open combat and accepting corporate sponsorship from State Farm.
During the Second Meteor Event, The Dragon was observed by the PC team intercepting a falling meteor fragment over Greenland. He caught it with bare hands, triggering a crackling energy discharge that caused him to lose altitude and visibly struggle. He recovered, dropped the now-inert fragment, and flew away to the west at extraordinary speed. The team recovered the discarded fragment. The effect the fragment had on The Dragon — and where he went afterward — remains unknown.
On 2019-05-03, The Dragon battled and subdued Mayhem in downtown Los Angeles, causing significant collateral damage but no fatalities. Witnesses noted his tactical adaptability — he shifted approach mid-fight to reduce surrounding chaos before finishing the engagement. He left the scene without issuing a public statement.
Known Abilities
- Flight: Confirmed aerial capability
- Invulnerability: High durability/damage resistance (survived gas line explosion mid-fight)
- Super Strength: Enhanced physical power (subdued Mayhem physically)
- Fire-Breathing: Confirmed by LA Times report (2019-05-03)
Corporate Sponsorship
State Farm sponsors The Dragon — announced early 2019. His cape prominently displays the State Farm logo. This is described as “one of the first formal partnerships between a major insurance provider and a registered meta-human.”
Current Status
Alive. Operating publicly as a superhero. Last seen departing downtown Los Angeles after the Mayhem incident (2019-05-03).
