Hero RPG Setting

The year is 2012. Superhumans continue to grow stronger and more prevalent on the world scene, as they have since super soldiers were first developed in WWII. The Defenders, a group of superheroes, watch over America and defend her cities from those who would do evil. In this group, and in the country as a whole, the baton is being passed from the older generation to the young heroes of this new millennium.   Unbeknownst to most, some of the young heroes with the most potential are coming together at Alford Academy just outside of Serine City. While the teenagers do not yet know it, they possess the possibility to eclipse even the greatest of heroes such as Minuteman, White Peregrine, Green Lightning, and Huntsman, and to become the heroes of the world. First, though, they need to survive high school and learn how to control their abilities and themselves.   This is a setting for a Mutants & Masterminds superhero campaign and here is An Overview of the Setting.
