A Marvel-centric AU RPG.

The 1970s gave rise to many socio-cultural revolutions: the environmental movement , feminism, egalitarianism, communalism, the sexual revolution, pop psychiatry and self-help. But none of these were so radical or publicly criticized as the mutant revolution. Born with genetic alterations that gave them abilities beyond those of normal humans, the people known as Mutants are hated and feared.

Amid fear, prejudice and violence on both sides, the mutant revolution quickly grew to become a national crisis. The government dealt with this threat by creating Mutant Town, a small ghetto in New York City to house these people. Humans living in the nearby areas terrorize the mutants and a special police unit known as The Sentinels keeps them inside, while turning a blind eye to the atrocities committed in the name of homo sapien.

Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr, two mutants who in another time and place would be great leaders, decided that their home and brethren need to be protected. And so the two formed the gang known as The Brotherhood of Mutants; the costumes and codenames that in another world would signify them as heroes representing their unity as a gang. The Brotherhood began to protect the streets of Mutant Town from outsiders, troublemakers, and the racist, skinhead gang The Friends of Humanity, whether it's through fights, extortion, patrolling their turf or setting a few examples.

Even as the mutants deal with the Friends of Humanity and their ilk, tension begins to brew under the surface. Should the gang include humans in their ranks, as Mutant Town houses a sizable human population? For that matter should Mutant Town be for mutants only? Differences among the gang members, and its leaders, begin to divide the mutants that were once united. Can Charles, aka "X", and Erik, aka "Magneto", find common ground for the Brotherhood of Mutants?

They could run New York City. These are the gangs of NYX.
