(Just a little intro to my Deeds Not Words Storyhour- which will be updated as often as possible)
For a long while, all on earth was normal. Everything was orderly and rational, and nothing broke any of the laws that had been decided to govern the goings on in the universe. Then, in the year 1970, something astounding happened.
Suddenly, people all over the world were showing signs of frighteningly potent power. Some, were true champions. Indeed, the most famous of these heroes, these superheroes, banded together, and called themselves the exalted. They were well known and well recieved everywhere, as the common man's last defense against the insidious evils that threatened the world.
The most insidious of these evils was a man named The Raven. Known not only for his amazing psionic abilities, but also because he was easily the most cruel man to ever live. He saw his tremendous power as a right, more than a tool. He believed that he could use his power to rule over the earth- commanding all beneath him through their own fear, greed, and weakness. He was not a stupid man, by any means however. Which insured that while he was the most hated enemy of the exalted, they only ever faced him head to head once. The one time that he managed to slip up.
The exalted, lead by their heroic commander The Krypto Knight, faced off against The Raven in the main control room of his arctic-based doomsday device (because EVERY major villain has one). The battle was long and bloody, but finally The Raven was destroyed when all the power of his doomsday device was focussed solely on him- leaving behind nothing but an ash stain on the floor.
Soon after this, there was an abrupt drop in the number of super-powered beings on planet earth. And, in the year 1975, the exalted split up, after a combination of fights within the group and the fact that they were no unnecessary drove a permenant wedge between Krypto-Knight, and the group's second in command (yay, another cliche!) The Mantis- a man whose super-human fighting skill was unmatched.
After the group split up, life on earth returned to normal. There were no super-beings of note, though the occaisional "man of steel" or "amazing spider-man" would pop up and be in the news for a week or so before slipping into the status of urban legend after too much dormancy, and ultimately becoming totally forgotten. And life on earth would return to normal, without another huge burst in the super-human population ever again occuring... until now
