: 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 old rock band before the rise of calamity, 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. He was, before Calamity, part of an old rock group, Weaponized Cupcakes.

: 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.

: Jonathan Phaedrus, otherwise known as Prof, was revealed to be an Epic in [[Steelheart]]. He has two defensive abilities, both of which alone would classify him as High Epic. The first ability is regeneration, which allows rapid healing of any wound. The second defensive ability is forcefields, which can be formed at seemingly any size, and could have size regulated once already formed. The forcefields are impenetrable to anything, and can also be used to fly when stood on. His final ability is an offensive power, which allows him to dissolve and tunnel into solid objects. Prof is a [[Gifter]] Epic, and as a result can lend his abilities to Reckoners, which he disguises as technologies which he has created. Also known as [[Jonathan Phaedrus|Limelight]]. His weakness is a fear of failure.

: Real name was Emiline Bask. Killed by the Reckoners after she was sent to Newcago by Regalia in an attempt to draw Prof to Babylon Restored. Had the ability to control electricity. Surrounded by an aura of electricity which dissolved any bullet that would under other circumstances impact. Her weakness is being exposed to Kool-Aid, being drenched causes her powers to weaken, and swallowing Kool-Aid disables them entirely.

: 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 wherewere 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 is skilled and able to create prettyfairly 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 Tarash|Megan]] shot her when [[David]] called Refractionary's mobile, causing herit to vibrate, giving her location away.

; [[Regalia]]: With majestic water manipulation abilities, Regalia rules New York. Has the ability to create tendrils from water, manipulate large volumes at once, project an image of herself formed from water, and to remotely view a location through the surface of water. She is featured in [[Firefight]]. Although extremely powerful, Regalia is not considered a High Epic as her powers do not actively protect her from harm.{{tweet ref|385888238621036544|Booksamillion edition has Regalia profile|date=3 Oct 2013}}
