![]() ............................ | It has been many years since superheroes rose up to protect the Earth and its inhabitants. It all began with the creation of Captain America during WWII, and since then more heroes, and subsequently, villains, have made themselves known. Some heroes such as the Avengers and Justice League have stepped up and made themselves public figures to society, whether that was desired or not. While others, like the X-men and vigilantes, have remained in hiding. Either way, the world is no longer in the dark about the existence of heroes, mutants, or other super powered beings. For decades, these heroes have courageously defended and protected the citizens of Earth, along with many other planets in the universe. The current reign of heroes has reached their end. Some have died in service, while others desire to hang up their cape and retire. Many of these heroes could not leave innocent people defenseless and in return decided to pass on their legacy to their children. Many of these children attended Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters during their younger years, up through High School. It was a good starting ground that helped these students learn how to hone their abilities, while also getting a proper education. Professor X always desired the best for his students, wanting them to have bright futures to pursue whatever they wish… Be that a hero or a lawyer. Although Prof. X's school was marvelous in many ways, some heroes still didn't think it was enough for when another attack presented itself. So Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark came together and funded the Descendant Academy. An elite, highly secretive facility that focused on the intense and vigorous training of the world's finest heroes. Recruits were pulled from the most powerful and prestigious of proteges, only gaining entrance into the Academy if chosen. Bruce and Tony were highly selective about who joined, wanting uniquely useful and talented individuals. Those Descendants come from all walks of life. Some were children of the most infamous and powerful heroes in the universe, some of simple human vigilantes and some… were even children of villains trying to get a clean slate for their family name. The academy thrived for several years, even establishing itself as the next superhero team, rivaling that of the X-men, Justice League and more. That was until the International Heroes Association, I.H.A., was created. This new organization, that spanned the entire globe, sought to unify every hero, former villain, vigilante, and mutant under a solitary banner. The academy was shut down and all hero teams were disbanded. Heroes were agents assigned to protect districts or called in for bigger threats. And it worked… for a time. It’s been a decade since the founding of I.H.A. and heroes have started going missing. It started with no name vigilantes but could no longer be ignored when names like Batman, the Sorcerer Supreme, and Superman himself went missing. Now over 75% of the hero population has mysteriously vanished. Crime is at an all time high and those who remain can hardly keep the peace. Those who remain continue to fight biding their time until whatever is out there comes for them too. … Until they got the distress signal. |
