In 2003, William Stryker survived at Alkali Lake. In the following years, superheroes and superhero teams began making themselves known throughout the United States. Starting with Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, the X-Men were quickly joined by Daredevil, Iron Man and the Hulk.

It seemed to be that superheroism made you a superstar.

But, quietly, Stryker had been hard at work with a secret strike team and also with Bolivar Trask. And in 2009, not long after the Brotherhood had been pushed back and the Morlocks and Acolytes had been introduced to society and appeased, the Sentinel Project was introduced to the public.

The X-Men took swift action, splitting off into teams around the world: Generation X in Boston, X-Factor in San Diego, Excalibur in London and the New Mutants in Denver. The X-Men proper remained in Salem Center, New York. However, the government had its own answer to these mutant teams and introduced the Avengers as a branch of S.H.I.E.L.D. and as a team meant to stop any mutant crime and to work alongside the Sentinels. Shortly after, the Fantastic Four agreed to work cohesively with the Avengers.

And then the Brotherhood regrouped, gaining the forces of the Morlocks, the Acolytes and the Hellions.

Superhuman teams were split into three categories: the teams that worked for the government (the Avengers, SHIELD, Weapon X, and the Fantastic Four), the teams that worked against the government (the Brotherhood, the Morlocks, the Hellions, and the Acolytes) and the teams that bridged the gap (the X-Men and its sister teams).

Most recently, Harry Osborn, now a Senator in New York, has been pushing for the Superhuman Registration Act (SRA) again, determined to publicly expose Spider-Man, and has been throwing money at the Sentinel Project.

The world is in flux and changes are coming. Where will you stand?
