| Civil War: Brother against brother, friend against friend, and a whole lot of mutants caught in the middle. |
 |
| When the Superhuman Registration Act was passed in July of 2008 things changed immediately. While some heroes stood for it, others were firmly against it, and as the two factions split down the middle those on the outside began to call it a Civil War. Iron Man stood for his government's policy, while for the first time, Captain America stood against it. The two men were friends, as most on either side were at the time, but all could see the sacrifices needed to be made for their cause. Registered and aligned with the government, Iron Man's strike force began working on systematically bringing in those heroes who stood in opposition to the new act. With the support and funding from Tony Stark's personal wealth they were near unstoppable.
Charles Xavier did his best to shelter his students from the budding conflict as he had during threats of a Mutant Registration Act, but they were inevitably pulled in when the government realised that there was a 'stronghold' of people with superhuman powers sitting in upstate New York. Those students who wished to register were allowed, but very few wished to do so. In the following events, Scott Summers and Ororo Munroe convinced Xavier that he needed to go into hiding, leaving the student and the school in their care. With the Professor secreted away, Scott and Ororo held onto the school for as long as they could before they were attacked for a second time, this time by federal officials. Scott and Ororo were forced to take the students and run.
They fled to Mutant Town, also known as District X of New York City. But their problems aren't completely solved. They may have Captain America's backing, but Iron Man and his army are still searching for them, and rumor has it that people just don't come back from the place they're taken when they're caught. Like all other unregistered heroes they now find themselves mingling with they have to be careful and focus on avoiding Ironman and SHIELD, while at the same time trying to somehow protest the Act that's changing their entire lives. How long can they stay hidden and how long will the Civil War continue to pit friends against friends?

| | PREMISE;; |
Genetic mutation has always been a dirty little secret, one that wasn't easily kept. The government used to be in control of these anomalies, but there was a large jump in numbers at the turn of the millennium. More and more children were coming up with signs of genetic mutation, and blame was being placed everywhere it could be. Government testing, herbal supplements, a new enemy's war tactic, global warming, and the breakdown of the genetic structure itself. There was no explanation to give the families of those changed, and the government's only suggested cure was containment. (continued)
It seemed like things were going to change for the better after the death of President McCannials. Miles Griffin took the office gladly, with an image of hope for the mutants. He'd brought back their rights, given them their lives back. The hospital was gone, and seemingly, the testing had stopped. But, Miles Griffin had other plans down his sleeve. By giving them their rights back, the mutants could be used in Government and Military means. Shortly after the downfall of the first mutant hospital, mutants began disappearing again. This rang many bells to the world, wondering why, on earth, mutants were disappearing. And in such large numbers, too.
