[QUOTE="Shades of Eternity, post: 9308434, member: 10869"] let me tweak that. my original goal for this universe was that most superpowers are genetic are in nature and have happened throughout history, but the gene mapping project allowed it to be done consistently, with the first of this in 2005 essentially creating a meta "baby boom." My headcannon is that a lot of internet reviewers from 2008-2011 ended up as the first round of mass produced metahumans. :D ********************************** One of my original goals for this project is to make the local gamable, hence the 50 states each having their own metahuman team, giving it a sports team feel in action and rivalries which will cause it's own issues. ********************************** Part of the fun of the framework is seeing how many people have a visceral response to such of a system. You can play the plucky heroes that are raging against the machine, but without the machine you're a rebel without a cause. It's certainly possible that there are organizations like Knight Industries, the Phoenix Foundation or a rich bald dude somewhere in New York that support metahumans, but honestly, these feel like a bigger unicorn then governmental structures not abusing their powers in such a world.
