Act II

Going into the 1980's the United States entered a phase of great recession and dismantling. The destruction of the nuclear blasts left much of the Midwest a desolate and fatal land. In addition, the radiation emanating off of the zone had surprising effects on the supers; their powers began draining leaving even the most powerful hero barely above a human. The period between the 1980's and the 2020's was a time of much rebuilding. Many states began starting their own territories and taking over more territory to build their personal empires. Texas clings on to what little remains of the past and rebuild their society. Eventually, they grew into a large state and formed satellite states throughout the post-US country. California split off from the greater continent and formed a new state full of tech wonders; however, the general populace under the tech focused rulers suffered. Now being hunted out of pure hatred and resources (drawn from their powers), Heroes and Villains, now called Gammas, were spread all over the country, some hiding within the confines of established states and others taking their chances in the untamed land. Many of the new governments were riddled with villainous corruption, unbeknownst to its citizens. For the most part, the people were suffering with no true leaders and righteous champions keeping them alive and safe.

Eventually, a few heroes and villains banded together to try and survive the wastelands and prejudice populace. Previous nemesis formed tight partnerships as they struggle in the barren lands. Although hesitant at first, the newly formed alliances decided it is in their best interest to assist others the encounter in an attempt to restring the past.

A few years after the formation of partnerships those gifted with superpowers decided to rise up and take back control of the world. They start off by fighting the big governments that are oppressing them and so many others not knowing the the people truly in power of the governments were actually disguised super villains. The villains thwart every attack with special anti-super death squads and many heroes are murdered.

Despite their huge failure, the heroes and villains realize they are fighting for the wrong reasons and that they must fight these villains for justice and humanity instead of their own personal needs. Act two ends with this realization and the groups go into planning for the final attack.
