It has been over thirty years since the city of Larissa has seen its saviors, the Mavericks.
Near the end of the great depression, an ambitious man by the name of Roman Locke left New York City and headed North with a few loyal men. Seeing the city of Larissa as a diamond in the rough, Locke began his criminal crusade and over the next fifty years built a nearly unstoppable empire. By the 1980's, Locke had nearly ever politician and law enforcement agency in his back pocket reducing the city to a hive of scum and villainy. With numerous gangs under his thumb, the streets of Larissa had become anything but safe for its people. After a string of bank robberies, several individuals had decided enough was enough.
And the Mavericks were born.
Hailed as the world's first superheroes, the Mavericks were brought together by an individual under the alias of IllAdvised. United with him was the alien known as Angel, Feral, the man with the heart of the jungle and the descendent of Rollo the Walker known as Wydra. Uniting their gifts together, the four became an unstoppable force as the vigilantes fought back against the corruption that had attached itself to Larissa's core.
Originally picking off the smaller gangs, the Mavericks caught Locke's attention who in return assembled his own team of individuals with unique gifts. Caught off guard, the Mavericks were ambushed in their own base of operations. Angel was brainwashed and turned against his team, nearly killing IllAdvised in the process. However the ragtag group of heroes triumphed in the end and turned their crosshairs on Locke himself. After nearly a year of long drawn out guerrilla warfare, the Mavericks made a full frontal assualt on Locke's headquarters. Fighting through paid off officers, enhanced mercenaries and their rivals the four eventually made it to Locke and dethroned the self proclaimed God King of Larissa.
With the head of the snake severed, the body ceased to move and Locke's empire that he had built over nearly fifty years began to crumble. Ambitious types scrambled to claim pieces of their own but the Maverick's actions had inspired others to rise up and the four gained some powerful new allies. But unfortunately not everyone understood the Mavericks' message and their were those who took the law into their own hands as judge, jury and executioner. Others still saw it as a challenge and made the journey to Larissa solely for a chance at fighting the so-called saviors. With all the escalation, Larissa's law enforcement were forced to carry weapons capable of downing these vigilantes and supers. While the Mavericks and police worked together at first, eventually the Mavericks found themselves in the crosshair as the city opted for a zero tolerance police. Making the call to disband, IllAdvised thought it would be best to break the team up and the Mavericks decided to go their own separate ways.
Still, in their absence the legend grew stronger and the city began to flourish as the tale of the Mavericks spread across the country. Comics, television series and even Hollywood blockbusters starring the Mavericks filled shelves and screens across the globe as tourism in Larissa hit an all time high. Local billionaire Charles Micheals invested in Larissa's industry growing jobs and eventually building the world's first Nuclear Fusion power plant. The city's population grew and eventually Larissa absorbed several surrounding communities including the town of Kilbride, the island fishing community of New Alexandria and neighboring city of New Lilith. These communities make up the thriving Greater Larissa Area and many of its residents commute to Larissa proper on a daily basis.
It's been nearly thirty years since the Mavericks disappeared. While the police still receive near weekly calls reporting local sightings, the vigilantes have not been heard or seen from in years. But perhaps now is a time for a re-emergence. Crime is on the rise in Larissa, and the city has been recently been left in the dark. Not even twenty-four hours ago, an explosion rocked the Larissa Nuclear Power Facility. Unbeknownst to the general public, this explosion emitted a power electromagnetic wave not unlike a coronal mass ejection. Knocking out the city's power grid, emergency services have been whipped into a frenzy. But the lasting effects of this event have yet to be truly felt as a new generation of superpowered crime is just around the corner. The localized CME energizing the cells of several people across the city with superhuman abilities.
