We're more than capes and masks, we're saving the world. |
t h e S U P E R S . ~~~^~~@ ![]() ![]() We were the first of our kind. Superheroes. Straight out of the comic books. We were every zit faced comic collector's wet dream come true. Even gave ourselves names. Some of them - I don't know where they came up with them: Captain Justice, Hammer of Truth, The Silver Spork. That's one of my favorites. The characters were coming out of the woodworks, wanting to protect the world, save the earth, fight for those who couldn't fight for themselves, blah blah blah. For a while it was good. We fought for mankind and for everything good mankind stood for. Superheroes fighting supervillains. After a while, we grew into something else. Supers. Pop culture influences. Started seeing heroes' faces on Wheaties boxes. There were action figures, tv shows, movies. We lost our direction along the way. Heroes and villains were only enemies in costume, when there was someone watching. Hell, I went to my arch enemy's daughter's birthday party. Any good looking punk in a cape could call himself a Super. It was glamour. It was fame. It was fortune. And then it changed. Nex was a villain none of us saw coming. We stood against him, our little, League of Virtue. Peacebringer was our leader, a good man. He stood before Nex, expecting a staged fight, just another kid who wanted a name and a mask. We watched as Nex killed our leader without mercy and without restraint. He was the first Super to die. He was not the last. Many retired after that. And those who stood against Nex, died. Nex's empire grew and spread and before long, he ruled half the world. The Supers disappeared - gave up their masks and capes and hid with their alter egos. Humanity handed itself over to Nex in exchange for its life. Nex spared those who pledged allegiance to him and slaughtered those who refused. The freedom we know does not come without penalty. We live our lives as we always have, with Nex watching over us, taking what he pleases, destroying those who become too powerful. The Supers watch, most thinking Nex has won. That there's no way to stop him. There's no one as powerful as him. Well...it just so happens, I might know a guy. - Ben Frost a.k.a "The Musketeer" ![]() ![]() storyline characters... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Other characters... updated when a new character is created.
