The woman was said to fight with the strength of a demi-god and paved the way for several decisive victories.

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][B]◼   1940's |[/B][/COLOR] Using the research of nazi defector, Abraham Erskine, the United States establishes Project Rebirth to combat the increasing influence of Hitler’s pseudo-science division, HYDRA. A young man named Steve Rogers becomes the sole recipient of the project. Dubbed Captain America by the war propaganda, Steve Rogers is heralded as the first true superhuman. Seeing the influence of Captain America on war morale leads to the creation of a team of other enhanced beings (known by the moniker of ‘Meta-Humans’) shortly after the Captain disappears in a battle over the Northern Atlantic. This team is known as the All-Star Squadron and helps repel the Axis Forces ensuring the victory of the Allied Forces that Captain America had worked for. 

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][B]◼   1950's |[/B][/COLOR] With no war to fight, the All-Star Squadron is disbanded but in its wake a new group formed consisting of both new and old members alike. This group pledged to fit injustices at home and was thus dubbed the Justice Society of America. While publicly the government embraced America's newest protectors, the Strategic Scientific Reserve is resurrected before being re-branded as the Advanced Research Group Uniting Super-Humans.
   
[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][B]◼   1960's |[/B][/COLOR] In the midst of the Cold War, a new humanoid race emerges known as the Homo-Superior or to the layman, ‘mutants’. Using the mutant scare as a distraction, the terrorist cell known as H.Y.D.R.A. re-emerges for the first time since the days of Captain America. Following an attack on the United States, the President of the United States is killed. This spurs the formation of a new government agency called the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Divison, or simply S.H.I.E.L.D.

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][B]◼   1970's |[/B][/COLOR] After years of conflicts with H.Y.D.R.A., the organization’s end seems nigh when the collaboration between SHIELD and international agencies leads them to the supposed headquarters of their enemy within Southeast Asia on the island of Madripoor. H.Y.D.R.A. is allegedly defeated, although S.H.I.E.L.D.'s victory is a loss for the J.S.A. The public opinion of mutants had been warped, in part, by religious extremists calling themselves the “Purifiers”. They had used their numbers to cause anti-mutant sentiment which ignited a series of civil rights riots. By extension this fear became of all superhumans leading to a mandated disbandment of the Justice Society of America. 
 
[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][B]◼   1980's |[/B][/COLOR] The gene responsible for the development of mutant powers in certain individuals is isolated and is dubbed the “x-gene”. Further study by the larger scientific community concedes that without a doubt is the cause of displays of power in random youths and adults. An academic by the name of Charles Xavier attempts to mediate but his efforts are ineffective to prevent what would happen in years to come.

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][B]◼   1990's |[/B][/COLOR] Charles Xavier founds the Institute for Higher Learning in North Salem, New York. In the following years, the “Fantastic Four” shuttle launch occurs originating in the test site owned by Reed Richards’ Future Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the smartest minds together for the advancement of science. Due to problems with a quantum accelerator tied into what Susan Storm dubs “The Negative Zone” cosmic radiation erupts and changes them and two others drastically. Elsewhere in the world, Victor von Doom restores the nation of Latveria after procuring weapons and technologies through diplomacy and his own genius intellect following the fall of the Soviet Union.

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][B]◼   2000's |[/B][/COLOR] An alien race known only as the Dominators turns their eyes towards Earth attacking in a curb stomp battle that decimated Earth's defenses. In response, A.R.G.U.S. assembled several scouted assets to create a counter force that the media would dub Earth’s Avengers. In the aftermath of the attack, public opinion of superhumans began to turn positive for the first time in nearly thirty years. Believing that public safety should not be soley in the hands of the government, a spiritual successor to the J.S.A. is formed, dubbed the Justice League. Unlike the Avengers whose actions are controlled by A.R.G.U.S., The Justice League acts independent, intervening where necessary. This earns them the hearts of America as the League becomes adored.

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][B]◼   2010's |[/B][/COLOR] Worried about the Justice League's seemingly continuous growth, A.R.G.U.S. begins the Young Justice Initiative in order to recruit and train young super humans. In response, the Justice League allows their own young heroes to band together under the banner of the 'Titans'. These teenage heroes often find themselves in rivalry with the Young Justice members leading to a rivalry between not only these two teenage teams but also a third party known only as the X-Men.

[COLOR=SILVER][INDENT][B]► 1 . 1 . 0[/B]   -    You may choose any character appearing in the continuities that envelope certain frames of western comic books, though the core of the game is DC/Marvel. You can include aspects of the Bruce Timm continuity, Wildstorm, the Cinematic Universe(s), and so forth. Characters from Dark Horse, Image, IDW, and Archie are acceptable.

[B]► 1 . 2 . 0[/B]   -    Manga/Anime based characters are heavily discouraged due to their incompatibility with western superhero comics. Other comic titles discouraged are those of a science fiction nature such as Star Trek, Star Wars and Transformers. Properties from outside of the Marvel and DC Universes will be judged on a case by case manner for the most part but the above limitations will be definite denials.

[B]► 1 . 3 . 0[/B]   -    Competing applications will be decided via a vote based upon sample posts. In the event two people both are interested in the same character, they will be requested to deliver a sample post to the the OOC where other accepted players will vote for who they think best represents the heart of the character.
