Background

• You learned when you were young that if you didn’t regularly use your special abilities, they would build up until they flared out of control. So becoming a “superhero” was more necessity than decision—doing anything less risks everyone around you.
• Your old college friend is running for senator on an anti-superhuman platform.
• You’ve decided the city or larger state is corrupt, and it’s up to you to make it right.
• You recently saved hundreds by stabilizing a falling buildinglong enough for everyone to flee.
• When the rampaging kaiju came ashore last week, you were one of the city’sdefenders.
• You were raised in a lab under harshconditions. One day the researchers let you go and went into hiding. You’ve been tryingtofind them—and whoever was behindthem—ever since.
• A few weeks ago, you got a message froma parent who you were told died when you were young.
• A villain with insect-control powers vowed to destroy you, but that was months ago.
