Ask a dozen children in a Elementary school in every Country in the world and they will give you a dozen different answers at every school. Ask a dozen adults stuck in a desk job the exact same thing and you may get two or three answers. The definition of a Hero is fluid. It depends on how your early life was, how you understand the world at large, and how you see the world. A starving child would call the man who gave them a weeks worth of food a hero. The homeless person sitting in a cardbord box in the alleyway would call the woman who gave them a hotel room for a week a hero.

Superheroes were designed by Humanity to do what the average person can't. They can change the lives of millions just by living and save thousands with their actions. But, every Superhero has always had a villan no matter what. There is always somebody who tries to thwart their plans. Yet, every human is taught that life quite simply isn't so black and white. Sometimes a hero kills the villan to save the city. Does the act of saving the city truly outweigh the act of taking a life? Is the hero truly better than the villan when he was so willing to kill a person? If a hero can kill once than what is there stop him from doing it again. And again. And again.

When the Oracle came we all thought it to be a  miracle. A perfect sphere which looked as if it was made from pure silver just appears in the sky above Earth. It doesn't come crashing down nore does it try and assault us. It just sits in the sky and watches Earth like an Oracle. About a month after its apperance, people all across Earth started developing powers. One person could teleport as far as his eyes could see. Another could harden her body into what was essentially a metal. No one person had the same power as another and no one person could be controlled by those without powers. Criminals started to use their powers to perform their crimes. The Feds tried to control them but ended up pass the Citizens with Powers Act which gave those with powers free reign to use them as they wished. Entire cities became domain to those powerful enough to control them. 

In New York City, a Power wielder known as Powder Keg claimed domain around thirty years back. Under his Tyranny, New York City was encased by a reflective field made by a Power wielder known only as Reflect. Nobody could leave nor enter New York City without the permission of Powder Keg. The subways became homes for refugees from destroyed sections of the city and also home to rebels. Those who resisted Powder Keg and his Gang were made into examples for the others. The seemingly invincible Powder Keg has ruled New York City for thirty years but the time has come for his rule to come to an end. Rumors run around of a man capable of killing Powerder Keg known only as Light. Hundreds gather in an underground station to meet Light, few may join him.
