D.E.O.

The Department of Extranormal Operations, simply known as the D.E.O. or the DEO, is a governmental organization created following Superman's arrival on Earth to monitor extraterrestrial presence on the planet along with tracking and investigating threatening metahuman activity. Its presence is hidden from the world.

The D.E.O. is a sister organization to A.R.G.U.S. and uses the same information, sharing data.

Overview
Founded following Kal-El's arrival to Earth, the United States government decided that they needed to protect themselves against extraterrestrial presence, a potential invasion, and harmful to threatening metahuman activity, they created the Department of Extra-Normal Operations and tasked them with that job. The organization is intended to be a sister organization to A.R.G.U.S..

While somewhat similar to A.R.G.U.S., the D.E.O. serves more as an investigative and covert department as opposed to the hit-team like tendencies carried out by A.R.G.U.S. The D.E.O. seeks to analyze and process not only Metahuman related activity but alien and supernatural incidents as well. They are tasked with facilitating a variety of means of counteracting threats to Earth as a whole.

One of the main premises' of the D.E.O. is to remain hidden from the world, and operate in the shadows, while its sister organization operates in the limelight. The D.E.O. also conducts itself more as a friend than a foe to the superhero community and is willing to work with them when deemed fit.

Monitoring Metahumans
When A.R.G.U.S. began monitoring metahuman activity and exploits, the D.E.O. began investigating those metahumans who used their abilities for greed or threatening presence. When metahumans act or abuse their abilities secretly, the D.E.O. is dispatched to handle them.
