The Global Defense Agency (G.D.A.) is a clandestine multinational intergovernmental organization in charge of protecting the Earth from extraterrestrial, paranormal, and supernatural threats, as well as monitoring super-powered individuals. They often employ superheroes and sponsor the Guardians of the Globe. They're currently being run by Cecil Stedman.
Background[]
The Global Defense Agency is primarily funded and staffed by the United States of America. Yet, the organization's reach is not constrained to any defined nation or borders. With assets across the globe the G.D.A. is capable of striking targets from the deep dark corners of outer space to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis.
In order to accomplish the task of containing threats, monitoring and supervising supernatural and super-powered individuals, and maintaining the Earth's safety the G.D.A. possesses numerous facilities and vehicles. The organization utilizes enhanced equipment (some of questionable ethical origin) in order to supplement or substitute the abilities of superheroes.
The resources and equipment of the G.D.A. are vast. The gigantic operation mostly conducted beneath the Pentagon is likely to result in a gigantic budget. This is put to good use as humanity is protected from the numerous threats from and beyond Earth. Unfortunately, when faced with threats such as Viltrumites even a bottomless defense budget isn't effective. In some cases, if the troops are unable to withstand Viltrumite-like opponents, the director will use more defensive means of accomplishing the goals of safeguarding the earth.

Vehicles[]
The Global Defense Agency utilizes numerous types of vehicles in order to accomplish its goals. If a superhero or the Guardians of the Globe are present, the G.D.A. provide support in order to supplement their abilities. In cases that superheroes are not available or unwilling to act, it is often G.D.A. units that contain the situation.
