Superhumans have existed throughout human history. Usually they would become the gods or heroes of the area they lived in, but because the children of superhumans usually inherited their super genes in an inactive state, these supers would only last for a few generations before dieing out.

During WWII, however, the research of the Allies, Soviets, and Nazis into super humans bore fruit as they learned to increase the chance that a super gene would be passed on in an active state. While the children produced through this knowledge didn't help in a war until Vietnam, their research lead the way for civilian scientists to learn to activate superhuman genes directly, and in the late 70s super humans started returning to the world.

One of the leading scientists in superhuman studies, Dr. Stan Lee, put together a team named the Avengers and, under the Super name "General Isimo" lead them to fight crime and defend the US and its allies, even when the planet was attacked multiple times by aliens.

In 2005 the UN brought him out of retirement by offering him a job. He was asked to produce a tv show, a talent contest in which supers competed to be part of the new Avengers.

That isn't us, though. Last year a super villain/ scientist by the name of "Cerebrum" approached multiple criminals, offering to awaken their dormant super powers if they would compete in a contest to see if they had what it took to become his right hand man.. er.. Person. This contest would run concurrently with Dr. Lee's and would pit them against those want to be heroes.

And that's where you come in. You are one of those criminals, and the show is one of the most popular Dark Web shows, especially among criminals.

May the most devious person win.

There are a lot of superhero RPs on here, so I figured we'd switch things up by playing villains.
