[INDENT][color=gray][sup]March 2019 - August 2019[/sup][/color]

[I]In a world that has never had Superman, [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][B]WONDER WOMAN[/B][/COLOR] was the first superhero to go public. Appearing during the First World War, Wonder Woman was later joined by the likes of [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][B]CAPTAIN AMERICA[/B][/COLOR] and [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][B]CAPTAIN MARVEL[/B][/COLOR] who fought alongside her during the Second World War. Despite this alliance, the age of heroes did not come from this time. Though the three heroes would go on to inspire the creation of a 'Justice Society,' all would just as suddenly fade from both the public's eye and its memory. Still, the idea persisted, and some would again follow the example set by those who came before them. Throughout the seventies and eighties, rumours flourished of a '[COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][B]BATMAN[/B][/COLOR]' terrorizing Gotham's underworld. While in the decade that followed, message boards across the early internet were set aflame with fear. Fear caused by the metahuman scare that rapidly spread across North America and then the world. Children of the 'Atom,' the general populace feared these so-called 'freaks,' these 'mutants.' In some ways, they were right to.

The most powerful of them were [i]Gods Among Men[/i]. At the height of this scare, a young man by the name of Charles Xavier decided to combat ignorance and dedicated his life to the study metahumans and their meta-gene. While across the country, a man with the ability to wield lightning protected the streets of Dakota until his disappearance in the 2000s. 

In the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States, Wonder Woman came out of retirement. Returning when America needed her the most, Wonder Woman went on to become a global figure. She dedicated her time to lending aid to those in need, all while the United Nations kept a close eye on her activity. While the general populace admired the heroine, the government feared what she could accomplish if she ever chose to side against them.  

Wonder Woman was soon followed by others like her. It was a slow-burning fuse, but it would quickly lead to an inferno. In the late 2000s, an alien pod was sighted over the skies of Delaware. This was the harbinger, the herald of an era to come. 

An era of hope.

It began with the first sightings of the woman the media would go on to dub [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]SUPERGIRL[/b][/COLOR]. A young hero who unlike Wonder Woman, was not associated with war. Rumours of the Batman resurfaced in Gotham while New York was plagued by menace dubbed [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]SPIDER-MAN[/b][/COLOR]. 

In fact, New York quickly became a breeding ground for these so-called 'superheroes.' Xavier's team of [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]X-MEN[/b][/COLOR] soon descended upon the city to clear the good name of metahumans everywhere, while another group of [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]TITANS[/b][/COLOR] banded together, united by common goals and needs. Hell's Kitchen is under the protection of a man without fear known only as the [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]DAREDEVIL[/b][/COLOR]. Down on Bleecker Street, under the tutelage of the Sorcerer Supreme, the young [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]MAGIK[/b][/COLOR] protects that which lies behind the mystic veil. 

Even Boston has recently had a hero to call its own, as the odd flying craft belonging to the [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]BLUE BEETLE[/b][/COLOR] has been spotted numerous times over its streets. The city of Dakota is now home to both [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]STATIC[/b][/COLOR] and [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]VIXEN[/b][/COLOR]. Central City has adopted a hero known only as the [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]FLASH[/b][/COLOR] while a new [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]GREEN ARROW[/b][/COLOR] has appeared to rescue Star City.

Appearing in the swamps of Florida, the Sky God, [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]BAAL[/b][/COLOR] found himself in a world not his own and lacking the majority of his power. To the south, Jump City is under the protection of a group of displaced aliens known collectively as the [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]LEGION[/b][/COLOR] while out in the coldness of space, a human and god have united to create the [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY[/b][/COLOR].

Apart, each of these heroes has fought against vicious foes, some more powerful than even they themselves are. But together, they united to stop a threat meant to frame metahumans as terrorists. Led by the mysterious [COLOR=LIGHTBLUE][b]STRYFE[/b][/COLOR], the 'Metahuman Supremacy Front' unleashed a horde of nanoscopic drones which upon embedded in a victim, drove the host into a frenzy. Based on a mysteriously reversed engineered technology from Stagg Enterprises, the drones were made to mimic a metahuman attack. Fortunately for all involved, the timely intervention of the heroes saved the day.

Or at the very least, postponed a larger threat.[/I]

[INDENT][I][HIDER=The Guardians of the Galaxy]After the sudden and premature onset of Ragnarok, Thor Odinson was cast into the depths of space where he found himself unworthy to lift the mighty hammer Mjolnir. While he mourned his failure and the loss of his family and home, Thor was discovered by Peter Quill. 

Together, the two travelled to Knowhere. There, Thor located a nearby cache of Asgardian treasures thanks to Knowhere's science officer Cosmo. While there, Quill was approached by his captain and surrogate father Yondu, who told Quill Thor had a price on his head. Quill informed Yondu that Thor had promised him treasure, and he wanted to get that before turning the other man in for a reward. Thor and Star-Lord's time on Knowhere was cut short by the arrival of a Chitauri battle cruiser. The attack forced the pair to flee to where Thor had found the cache.

When they got there, however, they found the once ocean world had turned into a vast desert. When Thor discovered the cache, he found it had been ransacked by someone, and now guarded by a cadre of vicious insecticide creatures. Thor and Quill barely escaped with their lives, only to find themselves pursued by a Thanagarian bounty hunter named Hawk. In the chase, the two ships jumped through an unknown jump point.

On the other side, both ships found themselves suddenly in the atmosphere of Warworld, where they crashed. Thor was thrown from the ship, while Hawk and Quill were forced to team up before joining with Rocket, a sentient raccoon, to escape. Meanwhile, Thor was reunited with the Asgardian sentry Heimdall who had a plan of escape of his own.

Before the gates of Warworld's capital, Thor slew the gladiator Draaga and defeated Warworld's leader Mongul with ease after reclaiming Jarnbjorn. After the escape, Thor sent Heimdall and his group of gladiators to search for surviving Asgardians, while he, Peter, Hawk, Rocket, and Groot searched for their unknown enemy.[/hider]
[HIDER=Old Man Grayson and Robin the Toy Wonder]When 15 children disappear during an elementary school field trip, Dick Grayson realizes that he’s facing a menace beyond the means of law enforcement. Too old to suit up as Nightwing, Dick instead gambles on using one of his former enemies as a surrogate Robin -- Toyboy.  With Toyboy’s robot senses supplying information for Grayson’s deductive reasoning, the pair are able to identify two possible locations where the children could be held. The subsequent investigation goes awry, with Dick becoming entangled amid a meth lab while Toyboy stumbles upon his former charge and master. Though Toyboy was ultimately successful in the rescue of the children, Anton Schott escaped and remains at large.

Realizing that he’s too old to ever be Nightwing again, Dick resigns himself to playing the role of Jim Gordon, while living vicariously through Toyboy’s own adventures as the new Robin. While Dick’s police force continues the work of pursuing where Anton Schott may have fled, Dr. Sarah Charles de-activates Toyboy again in order to perform hardware, firmware, and software upgrades necessary to prevent Toyboy from becoming unrepairable as his manufacture rapidly becomes obsolete.[/hider][/I][/INDENT][/INDENT]
