Primer
There have always been those that are gifted, different, special. In the past they were demigods, heroes, witches, wizards. They were few and as persecution of those different increased the few there were hid themselves and they passed into myth.
Champion changed everything; in 1952 the superhuman revealed himself to the world becoming the first superhero. Many heroes and villains would emerge in the following years but none quite so powerful as Champion. 1955 saw the first confirmation of life on other planets as the Outsider a galactic super being, manifested Star island off the east coast of the united states. Champion and the newly created Alpha Force defeated him and banished him from the solar system.
Villains rose but the heroes were always there to defeat them. Until the V’sori. January 1st, 2001. The first ships appeared over every major city of the planet. There was no prelude and no demands. The aliens just attacked. They were an amphibious race that combined the nastiest aspects of sharks and crocodiles with an aggression matched by neither. They were the stuff of nightmares to most. The people called them “Fins.” New York became a war zone, Tokyo burned, and even sunken Atlantis was rubbled and its ruler, the legendary Aquarian, slain.
Earth’s superheroes fought back immediately. The fins were terrifying, but no one ever doubted the heroes would win out in the end. After all, aliens had tried to invade Earth three times before, and earth’s defenders had always emerged triumphant.
Then came the turn of the tide the people had come to expect in these epic wars of aliens and supermen. Advance forces of another alien race arrived in earth orbit—the V’sori. They claimed to be defenders of the galaxy.
The V’sori claimed the Fins—or K’tharen as they called themselves—were rampaging mercenaries who ravaged world after world, but the V’sori had fought them before and would help Earth against them now. In every major city, heroes and world leaders joined together to welcome the aliens. The crowds cheered as the V’sori ships appeared overhead. Every superhero, sidekick, president, and even stars of sports, movies, and music attended these grand galas. The people of earth cheered as they watched their heroes greet the alien saviours on the news networks. The cheers turned to screams when the V’sori ships opened fire on the gathered throngs. Moments afterward, the K’tharen warships returned—servants of the V’sori. The earth was subjugated, but resistance groups formed, the most powerful Omega lead by the most unlikely person, the infamous villain Dr Destruction. March 2005 after 4 years of occupation the Star City Omega cell managed to scrape together the knowledge and resources to throw back the alien invaders. Joined by the resurgent Atlantian Empire and other resistance cells around the planet they defeated the V’sori and won the freedom of the earth. In the last 5 years the world has been rebuilding under the guidance of the now resurfaced Atlantis, as the only functioning nation on the planet the Atlantian Empire has stepped in as leader of the world.
