Welcome to the future, a future you probably weren't expecting, or at least the U.S. government didn't.
In the future, there came a time when people began to find that they could do incredible things. These people were hunted fiercely by the government and shipped to an abandoned U.S. Armed Forces base on the island broken off of California by the San-Andreas fault. Left behind due to constant earthquakes, the base was converted into a lab.
The people sent to the lab were tortured, and lost hope. But even though their situation seemed bleak, one man challenged the others to fight back. He gained 11 followers, and they alone took back their freedom.
Today the island is the Republic of New California, a safe haven for everyone with a superpower. We honor the original revolutionaries by having a select few individuals train to inherit one of their names.
I am one of these people, but I don't have a power.
