The Collective

The Collective are a mysterious group of villains who serve as the main antagonists of The Arsenals. They manipulate the world by taking over the bodies of people, all of them existing as a hive-mind, puppets to their leader Vessel.

Background
According to the second-in-command, Walker, the Collective were formed shortly after the rupture wave event by Vessel, who is currently the only confirmed person to have been born with powers. The Collective are sometimes referred to as the limb of Vessel, controlled by him and being slowly deprived of their free will.

Every member has a "default form", which includes all black clothing. Each member follows and takes over the body of a person. The earliest known member is Nomu.
