It was over 80 years ago when the world became aware of the Powers. The Powers, that was that name given to people that possessed abilities beyond those of normal men and women. In the six months leading up to the Armistice that would bring an end to World War I powers came to the scene. The war was nearly over and it was clear who would win, so the arrival of the Powers didn’t make much difference. It wasn’t until almost twenty years later during the time that Hitler lead his Nazi regime in a campaign of evil across the world that the Powers got to make their mark on the world. By bringing a quick and decisive to the Allied forces the Powers cemented themselves in the public eye as heroes.
Since then Powers from all across the world have become heroes, combating evil wherever and whenever it threatened the lives of innocent people. Of course the Powers were still human, and like all humans not every Power was predisposed towards righteousness. Over the years more than a few Powers have gone bad.
The worst of them reign chaos across entire cities before they could be stopped. Over time these ‘Dark Powers’ began to realize that alone they couldn’t defeat the heroes. From this realization came an insidious plan.
In the year 1997 a force of eleven hundred Dark Powers led a campaign across the Eastern seaboard of the United States of America. Twelve cities including Manhattan, Boston, Washington, and Baltimore were decimated and captured before anyone could raise a finger to stop it.
During this time the Legion, the world’s premiere super team, was dealing with the betrayal of its chairman, the Neo Man. The most powerful hero in the world had turned on his team. Setting off an anti-matter bomb within Legion Headquarters, killing half the team, and throwing the survivors into disarray.
In less than 48 hours Neo Man and his army of Dark Powers had destroyed the Legion and taken over half the continental United States. The surviving members of the Legion assembled every available Power and launched a full scale war against Neo Man’s forces. History says the Legion was victorious that day…Any witness to the events of that day would tell you the truth. The Legion took the cities back, yes, but the cost…The cost was the lives of four hundred and thirty seven heroes and over nine hundred Dark Powers.
No body won that day, one side ran out of lives to throw away. Since then the Powers have been regarded with hatred by the public. No one wanted a repeat of what happened. So in early 1998 the American government passed the Anti-Powers Bill. The bill forced all Powers to register their legal names and abilities with a government agency; it also made it unlawful for any Power to actively use their abilities in a public place without government sanction. Since nearly every hero has gone inactive.
Now in the year 2006, the world has started to miss its heroes. Dark Powers are starting to reemerge in greater numbers, but no heroes have been around to keep them in check. The need for order has led to a government sanctioned super team. Christened Legion V, this new team is fully funded and supported by the government of the United States with the sole purpose of maintaining order in the world. Recruitment starts today…
