[QUOTE="Ankh-Morpork Guard, post: 2581760, member: 10079"] An idea for 'origin'...errr, more like 'why all these young heroes are suddenly appearing'. Perhaps the world is just coming out of a time when supers(of any kind) are being repressed. The whole "powers are evil/outlawed" type thing, but comes to and end thanks to some...uh...thing. Big cosmic evil. Really big bad guy. Lots of the above. Things that aren't actually achievable to be defeated right now but could have minions, etc to spread out through the world. So the world recognizes the need for heroes, the 'old' ones that were in hiding get together and put some kind of worldwide organization together(JL is the best comparison I can think of here, but I'm not a huge DC guy, so bear with me if that's off) to train/organize the efforts of the new heroes. Older heroes wouldn't actually be fighting due to being...well...old? Dunno. Don't like the idea of powerful NPC heroes, but it'd be nice to have mentor types that are organizing everything and, essentially, give the GMs an IC presence to direct things if necessary. [/QUOTE]
