Introduction
You already know how this goes.
You've seen the shows, watched the movies, read the comic books... You know all about superheroes and their trials and tribulations, about their amazing feats and heroic acts of justice. You know about the devious villains, ever eager to cause chaos and calamity and hell-bent on ruining everything for everyone but themselves. It is the simple, archetypal tale as old as time ββ the tale of good versus evil. Just, you know, with crazy superpowers and worldwide disasters thrown in.
This story isn't much different.
Optima City, known as the largest and most bustling metropolis on the planet, is home to the League, a group of super-powered individuals who have made it their mission to protect those who need protection. These heroes are the idols and guardians of Planet Earth and its inhabitants, as good and just as the day is long.
By contrast, their villainous counterparts are as evil and corrupt as the night is long. They pose a threat to everyone around them, and with supernatural abilities that rival even the greatest heroes, they are a rebellion that cannot seem to be stamped out.
Things were this blatant and black-and-white for a very, very long time.
But this is where the tale gets a little⦠muddled.
A few decades ago there was a great battle between the League and their mortal enemies. It was a battle so fierce and of such a large scale that the geographical damage can be seen from space. Heroes and villains were at each other's throats for days on end, exhausting every resource they had in order to oust the other side. But as the final stage of the fight drew to a close, it became apparent that a great majority of the most powerful beings on the planet had lost their lives in the struggle, effectively taking out nearly 70% of the population of 'Supers.' Civilians mourned the loss of their heroes and rejoiced in the elimination of the most dangerous threats the world had ever known.
With so few Supers left, the civilians were able to return to a much more peaceful and uneventful life. The Supers themselves, on both sides, had withdrawn from the mainstream in order to recooperate and factor out their losses. The villains, fearing that their much smaller numbers could mean the end for them, formed the Anti-League in order to have each other's backs. Meanwhile, the League went through drastic changes of its own; it was forced to downsize in almost every way. Many of the older members retired, hoping to take advantage of the era of calm that had come over the planet, which strained the already dwindling numbers even further. the League was forced to begin junior hero training programs with younger Supers in order to teach them to become the heroes of tomorrow.
Slowly but surely both sides have been regaining their strength and numbers, but with the changing tides nothing is quite as black and white as it used to be. The younger generations seem to have their own agendas, and since the future rests on their shoulders, who knows how things will turn out.
Regardless of the details, the heart of this story is the same as any other: everyone is fighting for something, and they will do whatever it takes to get it.
