20 years ago, an alien fugitive named Vitam crash-landed on Earth. Once a ruthless war leader who betrayed the wrong intergalactic powers, he barely escaped annihilation. Seeking protection, he concocted a twisted plan: use Earth as a shield. He created the Apex Serum, a potent gene-altering compound meant to produce powerful warriors to guard him. But the adult humans he tried to mutate proved useless-the serum didn't work on them. The gas he used for mind control interfered with the process. So, Vitam pivoted.
He made them breed.
The children born after exposure to the gas were different. Stronger. Evolved. They began to show signs of extraordinary abilities-glowing eyes, super strength, elemental control, shapeshifting, ice manipulation. These were the Elites. Raised in secrecy, trained in combat by their own brainwashed parents, the first generation was unknowingly forged into soldiers for a war they didn't even know existed.
Now in 2025, those children are 18 years old and in 12th grade-the first Apex-born class to reach full maturity. Apex High is in its fourth year of operation, with younger classes just beginning their journey. Publicly, it's a world-renowned institution built by billionaire philanthropist Vitam Chase, training future "superheroes." But behind the illusion of honor and heroism, Vitam watches... calculating. Preparing. Because the aliens he once betrayed are coming. And he's going to need every Elite soldier ready.
