Catalysts are transformative origins, conditions, or external forces that fundamentally alter a characterβs existence. Unlike Mantles, which represent alternate universe standins for iconic Marvel figures, Catalysts are life defining events, experiments, entities, or enhancements that permanently shape a characterβs identity, abilities, and role within the world. Many Catalysts are considered extraordinarily dangerous, unstable, or historically significant, often drawing the attention of governments, traffickers, extremist groups, and powerful institutions.Β
Catalysts are highly restricted and typically require an application, storyline progression, event participation, or direct staff approval to obtain. Each Catalyst may possesses its own unique requirements and acquisition process depending on its rarity, power, and narrative impact within RP.Β

Repeated failures, poor decision making, loss of trust, or internal instability may result in removal from leadership.
