Council of Five

The Council of Five is Mega-City One's de facto ruling body (the mayor, an elected citizen, is merely a figurehead whose job it is to kiss babies and open new shopping malls). The most important person on the Council of Five is the Chief Judge, currently Judge Hershey (pictured). Its other four members are representatives of Tek Division, the Academy of Law, Street Division and Undercover Operations (a division incorporating the Wally Squad, the Special Judicial Service, the Public Surveillance Unit and Black Ops).
