History
Led by the all-seeing, all-knowing Dharma, the Shadow Cabinet, whose super-powered members are on continuous rotation from mission to mission, has sworn to fulfill one mandate: "To protect humanity from itself," regardless of what humanity may desire. 
The Shadow Cabinet is a centuries-old secret order of superheroes dedicated to protecting humanity at all costs. Led by the precognitive Dharma, they attempt to neutralize potential threats to the world while they are still relatively small and manageable. Their methods are controversial and often underhanded. Although many more traditional mainstream heroes often team up with the Shadow Cabinet, they also frequently come into conflict with others on both sides of the law. They operate on an international basis, and their full agenda is only known to their leader at any given time. They first revealed themselves to the contemporary heroes of the world during the Shadow War, when there was a sudden mass recruitment drive to help combat a faction that had seceded from the Cabinet, Star Chamber.
