Three Mile Island

Disaster / Destruction

On a day that lives on in infamy, the families of two born heroes, Bolt and Stellar, were kidnapped by the villainous Scarlet King. Initially intending to hold the families hostage and force the heroes to become his minions, when things spiraled out of control the King murdered every member of the both of the couple's immediate families, seven people in total. The Scarlet King was killed soon thereafter by an enraged Stellar, who was convicted of murder by a justice system still wrestling with how to deal with superhumans. The cleanup of the incident cost about $1 billion, much of this cost was paid by the Defenders team which formed soon after, and impacted public perception of superheroes to this day.
