Known Threat Organization-0001-Bellfather "Overwatch Council" is made up of at least 18 individuals of varying backgrounds, ethnicities, and species. With few exceptions, these individuals hail from previous Threat Organizations that have been either Liquidated or Absorbed by the Coalition in the past. All have been united by a shared opposition to the Coalition and its goals, although intel suggests that outside of it, the partnership is-at best-strained.

Nomenclative-hazardを名辞災害とする訳が定着しています。nomenclatureも名辞と訳してよいかと。また、thaumaturgyは奇跡術と訳す方が好みです。(奇跡論はそれを研究する分野Thaumatologyの訳語というのが正確なので)
The Man Who Wasn't Thereで「存在しなかった者」というのが定訳ですので、それに準じてもいいかもしれません。
参考: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-man-who-wasnt-there-hub
末尾が句点になっていません。多分ミスかと思います。
漢字で書いてはどうでしょう。
cyanは普通、シアンと訳されます。他の脅威識別子と揃える意味でも、Type Cyan とか Type Blueなどと直接書いてもいいのかもしれません。「タイプ・ブラック・Ragweed」あたりは特に不自然ですし。
Mafiosaは女性の意味も含むっぽいので、"女マフィア"とか"マフィアの女傑"みたいに上手く女性の意味も取り込んであげるといいかもしれません。
確かにringleaderには不法行為の先導者といった意味があるので、間違いではないと思うんですが、サーカス文脈でのringleaderはringmasterと同様の意味があります。サーカス団長とかと訳すのがいいかもしれません。
殺し屋と書くと職業で人を殺しているみたいに見えます。MURDERERなので、"人殺し"辺りがちょうどいいのではないかと。
マクスウェリズム教徒(マクスウェリストだけで人の意味を含むので)、サイボーグ同様にマクスウェリトとカタカナで書いてもいいと思いますが。
FBIの文脈なら、 Agentは捜査官とするのがより適当でしょう。
ご指摘に感謝します。以下のように変更を加えました。
