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.

Its the year 2045. No longer are citizens concerned with being robbed or jumped on the streets, they have more pressing matters to deal with. "Serial killers" unafraid of attacking during the day, buildings and bridges obliterated in one blow, mass arson, frighteningly large populations of wolves in suburban areas. The government has tried to keep it under wraps, but the forces they had containing and covering up these 'accidents' weren't enough. These were not accidents or the doings of anything remotely human. Creatures thought to be only from myths and horror stories are real, and the government can't compete with them on their own.

The FBI, CIA, and police around the nation have finally been given no other choice but to join forces with Us. A group more secret than even these agencies. The Venators. We are stationed now, in Wolf Point, Montana. It is a ragtag group. Tracking these creatures like Ourselves alongside werewolves and vampires, humans and shape shifters. It is here that We wait until We receive our next case, and until then? We'll wait patiently in the shadows.

The year is 2908 and a revolution is brewing: a war between the rogue pirates of deep space and the United Nations issued battleships sent out to silence the rebels that speak out against the government’s propaganda. It’s the era of spies, of honor, princesses and princes, and rebels - those who go against the law and those who enforce it - and there’s only one question that is on everyone’s minds: who’s side are you on?
