It began with a slip of a moment of frustration. The realization that the world is in danger. An invasion of a sort.<br/><br/>Persistent rumors of a costumed vigilante in Gotham City. The emergence of the ‘Superman’. The revelation of an undiscovered island filled with Amazon warriors. A being able to move so fast he is seen as only a red blur. The lost city of Atlantis.. found again. A man using green light to accomplish his goals.<br/><br/>The rise of the ‘metahuman’. A threat to the balance of the world. A threat that must be stopped before it has a chance to start. But to catch a thief, you must often employ a thief. That is the conclusion this man has come to.<br/><br/>In his windowed office he sits, a master of industry and finance who over the years has accumulated a fortune. And perhaps for just this perhaps.. to stop this plague of metahumans that will no doubt be intruding upon his plans. And that simply cannot be. The computer screen in front of him shows various reports involving metahumans in recent weeks. Stopping a bank robbery here, smashing a giant rampaging robot there, leaving criminals tied up in front of the police station. Thus far these vigilantes have been keeping to themselves, not forming any sort of union. Something that could be used to his advantage.<br/><br/><em>“There are metahumans, however, that have no interest in ‘the greater good’. Yes, they will make excellent agents. They fight for money, for power. Not something as droll and outdated as truth, justice and peace for all mankind. They will be my soldiers.. “</em><br/>Not so long later…<br/><br/>The Lexcorp private jet arrives, and he climbs aboard, ordering the pilot to take him to Lexcorp headquarters. The flight to Metropolis doesn’t take long at all. Meetings were held with some… free agents… we’ll call them. Promises were made, money exchanged.. and then things went into motion.<br/><br/>The word went out. It wasn’t just a call out to the less reputable metahumans out there. This was something to get them at least a little organized. Make them see that they could do a lot more when working together. If only to take down those that were stopping them, stopping them from making more money or getting whatever else it was they wanted. Groups focusing on what seems to be the 2 epicenters of metahuman activity… Central City and Metropolis.<br/>
