'''Believer''' was a term to describe those that thought ''good'' [[Epic]]s exist. The term was created after the arrival of [[Calamity (satellite)|Calamity]] and the Epics that came with it started terrorizing humanity. The Believers thought that there would eventually be ''superheroes'' that would stop the ''evil'' Epics.▼

David initially thinks people with such faith are foolish: his early life at [[Havendark Factory]] teaches him to be a realist, but to be one of the Faithful requires a certain idealism.{{book ref|r1|23}} However, he eventually comes to believe that [[Prof]] is a hero despite being an Epic, though this belief does not transfer to a broader hope for Epics in general.{{book ref|r2|32}}
In the alternate universe, the Faithful include Epics who use their powers for good against evil. These Epics include Blain Charleston, [[Firefight]] and [[Tavi]].{{cite}}
The symbol of the Faithful is described as a "stylized S shape"{{book ref|r1|23}}{{book ref|r2|7}}; Abraham always carries a pendant in that shape. When David travels to [[Babilar]], Abraham also gives him a pendant as a gift{{book ref|r2|7}}, and David often thinks about it afterward. Although it could not explicitly be described as such in the books for legal reasons, the symbol is meant to be the real-world [[wikipedia:Superman|Superman]] logo.{{wob ref|10735}}
