; [[Deathpoint]]

: Deathpoint is a known Epic that was killed by [[David]]'s father on the [[Day of Annexation]]. He had the ability to disintegrate living things by pointing at them, though their bones where always left unharmed. Worn items (like a holstered gun or a swaddling blanket) also appear to be unaffected. He was tall and lean, but solid. He was muscled and toned in a way that could be seen through his clothes. He is also speculated to have a second ability, one that was never shown, but appears to require physical contact and can be assumed to be more powerful than his first, as he attempts to use it on Steelheart despite his first being ineffective.

:Refractionary is a class C illusionist Epic with class B personal invisibility powers. She skilled and able to create pretty complex visual manifestations. She is not very powerful and her illusions usually shimmer as if light is reflecting off of them. Her weakness is smoke. [[Megan]] shot her when [[David]] called Refractionary's mobile, causing her to vibrate.

 

;The [[Coven]]

:The Coven is a group of six Epics who rule in the South. Two of them are twins.

:Prof was discovered to be an Epic. He could make energy shields, heal, and vaporize things. He was also a transference Epic.

 

;Illusionists

:Lesser illusionists sometimes have trouble maintaining an exact illusion. Illusionists can't see if they turn themselves completely invisible. Light still needs to strike their irises. A skilled illusionist can make their eyes match the color of their surroundings. A powerful Illusionist can create sounds along with their images.

:Standard fire Epics can turn to flame, fly, throw fire, and manipulate existing flames.

 

Power duality is when an Epic has two second-tier abilities that meld into a first-tier one.

 

An Epic's Weakness can be just about anything. Some epics, upon seeing a specific pattern or symbol, lose their powers for a few moments. Some become weak when they think certain thoughts, stop eating certain foods, or eating the wrong food. Specific numbers can make an Epic weak as well.
