May 15th, 2037, was a date that went down in history, altering the lives of thousands of people across the world.
A television crackles to life, an emergency news broadcast abruptly flashing onto the screen. There sits a female reporter, eyebrows creased in worry despite her attempts to keep a calm and professional appearance. "Good evening. We are interrupting your regularly scheduled program to declare a state of international emergency. With the information that we've been provided with so far, it is our understanding that an high profile military experiment has gone awry. As a result, untested chemicals of great biohazard risk have been exposed to the environment" the woman's eyes dart off camera nervously "W-We are not authorized to provide any further information on the corporation responsible for the leak" her hands shake as he flips the page on her script "Experts from the science field all around the world have come to a consensus on the matter. Evacuation will not be effective. By now, the chemicals have contaminated the water supply, the air supply, as well as the food supply. According to the experts, the pollutant should only effect individuals containing a specific gene found in only 15 percent of the population. For those individuals, the chemical could cause mutations of unknown proportions. Everyone, please remain calm in this time of mass hysteria, be safe, and beware of anyone altered by the chemicals". The television fades to black.
Five years after the incident, and many people mutated by chemicals have since surfaced. Unnatural powers began popping up, disturbing the natural balance of the world. While the newly dubbed 'mutants' only made up a small portion of the population, they still posed a threat to the safety of society.
In response, a task force by the name of IMCO (International Mutant Containment Organization) was formed, hunting down anyone with the unique gene in order to lock them away from civilization. Most mutants took to hiding, living their lives in fear of the day that they're dragged away to one of the containment facilities.
