Calamity is a mysterious and seemingly all-powerful Epic which arrived in orbit of Earth exactly one year before Epics appeared.[1]

Calamity grants power to normal humans, shaping their strengths and weaknesses to the dreams and nightmares of the subject human. It is yet unknown why he does this.

David Charleston is, so far, the only human known to have been able resist the powers of an Epic being forced upon him by Calamity.

Calamity communicates with Regalia, High Epic ruler of Babilar.

Calamity appears as a glowing red star in the sky, though he has been seen as a red man with wings in the sky by Regalia in a telescope. He sometime goes undercover as the epic Larcener, part of the Coven. David and Megan and a reedeemed Prof stop him when they figure out his weakness, which is that mankind isn't a monstrous race, but good at heart. Calamity then faded away. He is possibly dead.
