Super/Heroic

What does it take to change the world? Bravery? Dedication? Money? Or something... more?

It is the near future, in a world populated with both regular people and superpowered individuals. It is a world recognizable as the one we may already be living in: a world readying itself for something to happen, although nobody is quite sure what.

A rabble-rouser on the 'net named Hemingway Poe has been stirring up trouble, encouraging people to gather in protest and to critically examine the world they have created. Poe, who may or may not be real and may not even be just one man, sets off a string of protests that threatens to disrupt the global economy and the precarious balance of power between governments, corporations, and individuals.

Taking advantage of the disruption, paramilitary forces seize the Elevators that help supply near-Earth orbit space stations with food and supplies; a group of insurgents co-opts corporate lawyers to find The Repeating Man, who can literally turn back time and redo it. The man who could stop them, Matthew, is the head of Finis Industries and one of the smartest, richest men in the world, but he is distracted by his attempts to save his sister, and by his dedication to protecting the world from the release of the deadly diseases let loose by the privatization of the United States' military.

As all that happens, a deadly monster named Titan is unleashed on Hong Kong, an evil mastermind seizes a chemical that has the power to turn people into godlike creatures, and a 12-year-old girl with magical powers must battle a deranged witch who wants to use ghosts to blast open the doors between dimensions.

An epic story of humanity, redemption, revolution, and hope -- "Les MIserable" as acted out by the Xmen.
