Colonel Faridi's wealth is inconceivable. The reader slowly realizes Faridi's great wealth, an aspect of his character that makes him so mystical.

Colonel Hardstone of the Black Force

Faridi is also the head of a secret crime-fighting organization called "Black Force". As opposed to other superheros, most members of his team know who their boss is.

Black Force is also an international organization and its members are found all over the world. These members are usually recognized by code names such as B11, B2, etc.
