In the world of heroes, everyone wants to be an Avenger. The #1 Hero Team on the planet, and captained by the #1 and #2 heroes, who wouldn’t want to? World renowned — hell, in some cases even known across the universe — the Avengers are the ultimate Hero Team, and they have been almost since they were founded. The Avengers keep the peace by being the symbol of peace throughout the world. Famously, when asked what the goal of the team was, one of the two captains, and the current #2 hero worldwide, Iron Man had a simple sentence to say in reply.
“Peace in our time.”
That was over two decades ago, and the Avengers have grown as a team since. They’ve expanded and cover more and more ground, both on earth and elsewhere. Some smaller teams are considered — or were, in some cases; ideological differences with the Avengers have ended more than one mutually beneficial team relationship — a subset of the Avengers, though they stand on the rankings on their own, like the Guardians of the Galaxy, who help patrol the cosmic side of things.
Over the years, ‘hero’ has become more than just a word, or a symbol of justice. It’s become a career. Each team is paid a stipend by the government, based on their popularity and effectiveness, and each hero gets a percentage of that based, again, on popularity and effectiveness. With empowered children being born and appearing more frequently — thanks to the massive, alarming (and depending on who you ask, terrifying) influx of the mutant X-Gene, and the terragenesis happening in rapid succession a few years after the founding of the Avengers — schools began popping up to train those in the art of heroism. The biggest of these schools was Mobius, a massive, flying, stealthed campus where the students could flex their superpowered muscles and find their way under the tutelage of some of the best heroes out there — former Avengers for the most part, after all the founder of Mobius is none other than Tony Stark: Iron Man himself.
Even so, some people chose not to pursue the career of a hero, instead using their powers for their normal jobs, while others still… fell prey to their vices and became evil. Villains, a whole league of them even. This spawned the creation of a villain list that mimicked the hero rankings, one where villains that seemed to never stay down could be ranked by danger levels…
Our story will focus on a class of Mobius students, who are shooting for their hero license and the chance to join a Hero Team where they can be part of the hand of justice on planet earth, and even further out in the far reaches of the galaxy.
