Produced only by one-in-a-million results from invading cosmic entities, the right mixture of chemicals, technical wizardry beyond compare, or experiments gone wrong in just the right way. Still, there were enough to form The League of Champions, a group of like-minded and justice-seeking heroes set out to battle against the forces of villainy, terrorism, and chaos. The leader of this group was arguably the most powerful super in existence, an alien-human hybrid named Paragon. Blessed with super strength, super speed, flight, super hearing, and a whole host of other powers, he alone could stop entire armies of rogue supers. His counterpoint was in a human, a man named Alexander Arkwright. Arkwright was a wildly successful business man who believed Paragon was an invader, a misguided champion who was making humanity weak by being there to defend us, rendering us incapable of fending for ourselves. These two titans clashed time and again. Arkwright's genius and billions versus Paragon's strength and chivalry. <br/><br/>Eventually, Arkwright won, but he did so in a way nobody expected.<br/><br/>Alexander developed Ev05, a virus that could re-write genetic code in those susceptible to it. One in about every ten million people. He launched it and Paragon went after it, destroying it's carrier capsule with his super strength. It was a trick. Ev05 only needed metahuman DNA to trigger it's activation and Paragon destroying the capsule awoke it. Detonated in the sky, the activated virus hit the wind and spread all over the globe. It re-wrote the DNA of hundreds of people, turning them into metahumans. Supers.<br/><br/>"If everyone is special," said a victorious Arkwright, "then everyone is the same. If I cannot defeat Paragon, then I will simply change the game. I will evolve humanity and level the playing field for the next round."<br/><br/>Now heroes and villains are a common sight. Every major city seems to have a team, every country some cadre of evildoers, every continent a League of their own. As years pass, metahumans seem to swell in number. The League of Champions is now the chief governing body of all supers, presiding over the smaller leagues and groups. Though it has become overly bureaucratic and bloated, it is still a respected metahuman institution. Our story is about one small group rising in the ranks, gaining the attention of the League of Champions, and finding that everything isn't always as it seems...</span></span>
