You Are Here

 * Metropolis is the beautiful City of Tomorrow, home to the Justice League of America and Lexcorp, full of high-tech solutions and high-powered residents.
 * New York City remains the great Melting Pot, overwatched by the Argus, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s helicarrier, and populated by heroes and villains of every stripe.
 * Gotham City holds both the nadir and the zenith of what human kind itself is capable of creating, home to Arkham Asylum and the ever-vigilant Bat Family.
 * Westchester County is a sleepy little place that hides two of the world's great secrets and great hopes, the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning and the hero team of the X-Men.

As Things Stand Now
The world has changed. Heroes and villains alike have made their rise over the last years. The introduction of heroes over the last decade has helped to renew society's spirit and belief in a world greater than the present time. Though petty crime has been stemmed in many American cities, a new brand of villain has risen the ante on terror. Moreover, a pervasive paranoia of both the government and corporate America has continued to escalate. As always, the threat of conflict between mutants and humans always bubbles just below the surface.

In recent days, the spectre of Registration, an attempt to catalogue and control the abilities of those with "super powers", has raised its ominous head. Though nothing has been made law, the mere mention of the idea has raised tension, split friendships and families, and sparked a wave of protest and violence from all sides. New York and Metropolis in particular have been rocked with these outbursts that range from shouting in the streets to acts of war in public places. International attention turns once again to America as the world watches with a critical eye.
