: Loophole is an Epic in Ildithia. She worked for Prof. Her power is size manipulation, which enabled her to shrink or grow anything she touched at will. Her weakness is sneezing. Although she is commonly thought of as a lesser Epic, David reconsidered her as a High Epic because of the way she shrunk bullets, preventing her from being too injured.{{{{book ref|Calamity|43}}

: Mitosis, or Lawrence Robert, was able to make exact copies of himself. He split into two, each clone able to replicate itself. There is not a known limit of how many copies of himself he could make. If any copies of Mitosis exist, then he can still live. All the clones are connected and if one is killed they all know it. They can't share memories until they recombine. It was thought that the more copies that were made, the dumber they would get. That was proved false. When a copy was killed, the corpses decomposed into goo. The more clones that were created, the weaker their molecular structure holds together. Music from his pre-Calamity rock band, Weaponized Cupcakes, was his weakness and caused his copies to disintegrate. As of now, his power is assumed to be unique by the Reckoners. Mitosis came from Babylon Restored, while Prof and Cody had been in Babilar, a part of Babylon Restored, to find David and learn how Steelheart was killed.{{book ref|mitosis|2}}{{book ref|mitosis|3}}

: Serves [[Regalia]]. Has a secondary power of increased speed. Unknown if she has a primary power, or if increased speed is her only one (which would make it her primary ability). Primary invincibility granted by protective fields which reflect any impact with equal force. As shown, this ability could also be used in a way that increased speed of transport, as when she jumps from building to building, the field bounces her back up, allowing for facilitated transport. Her weakness is being complimented, which disables her ability to reflect any impact.{{book ref|

: Serves [[Regalia]]. Obliteration is a high epic described as wearing a long, black trench coat, spectacles, and having a goatee. Obliteration's primary power is absorbing heat from sunlight or objects (living or inanimate.) He then stores this heat and is able to release it in a powerful burst. An example of him using this power is when he reportedly sat bare chested in the middle of the city of Houston for several days storing energy. He then proceeded to destroy the entire city by releasing all the heat at once in a single burst.{{book ref|firefight|24}} A secondary power is enhanced strength.
