The Infinite Being
78 years ago the first ever superhero team emerged. The team was comprised of an alien, some enhanced people, a tech expert, and some mages. They were known as the X-Clan. The world was in awe of their power and willingness to fight for justice. In their wake, however, villains arose. The X-Clan and various factions of villains battled constantly and it soon became an all out war. In the Year 1970 it seemed the war had ended with the X-Clan the victors, but the world had seen how powerful and dangerous the world was becoming. It was deemed unsafe for independent groups of vigilantes to roam free and unregulated. As a result the X-Clan was disbanded and all vigilantes had to register to a world wide organization simply known as Paladin.
Paladin runs every super hero team separately (primarily by region). The teams follow strict guidelines, but are mostly free to do as they please while Paladin funds them. In addition Paladin will protect their families. It sounds like a good deal, but many are opposed to registering and revealing their identity for various reasons. Maybe they want to live a normal life or to give their family normal lives. Regardless, every person with powers, alien, and vigilante are required to register with Paladin. After X-Clan was broken up the alien, their lead enhanced as well as another enhanced, and 1 mage remained in the field . The rest obediently registered (except the tech expert, who remains missing to this day), but refused to remain in the line of duty under Paladin.
Now in modern day, things seem pretty stable. Unknown to the world, however, corruption has made its home inside Paladin. The organization is slowly being taken apart form the inside, and almost no one knows. Soon the world will be ruled by Paladin with an iron fist with an army of heroes to enforce it. Someone needs to end it before it begins. The world needs a new X-Clan.
