The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

It was the middle of the night and streets were empty. In front of Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters only one man could be spoted. He was sitting under one street lamp watching the school in front of him. The stranger was wearing black bottom mackintosh. His skin was blue and his eyes white. - So here is where my victims are living, huh? He said to himself and smiled. - I need to take a better look to this place. But it ain't gonna be easy job. He ad and looks around him.
He wouldn't have noticed Johnny approach. Johnny's eyes glowed green, and he wore a confident smirk as he leaned againt a telephone pole a few yards away.
Sharky turns his back at him. - Nothing really. I was looking at the school. I heard ... That this is school for gifted, so ... I wanted to check it out. Is that true? He asked trying to keep his face hide from the guy.
"Yes, it is. So what, exactly, makes the people here your 'victims'?"
Unlike his brother, Johnny didn't seem to feel the need to conceal that he could hear the boy's thoughts. He gave a very cocky smirk, waiting for the boy to react.
*This bastard! He heard me....* Sharky thought. He then gives a smile and goes face to face with Johnny so the opponent could clearly see shark boy's face. - Look at me boy! For me everybody are victims! He says loooking in the strangers eyes. - I just wanted to take a look around and get some information about this ... school. See if my brother is here. He looks a lot like me. Though he is not half shark. sharky slightly laughs. but he keps his eyes on the stranger. - We are twins and he said he'll wait from me here. *Before three mounts ago* - May be you know him?
"What's his name?" John asked, clearly not buying it.
"What are you really doing here?" Ryan looked into the boy's mind, looking at his intentions along with his fears. If the boy meant anything ill toward the people staying at the mansion, he was going to know it.
Vassago saw anger, pain in the boys mind, but there was one door he could not open. From it he could hear a roar of animal. *Hahahaha ... he doesn't belive me! So my brother is here!* Sharky's eyes looked at Johnny. - You are not very nice... He says trying to calm himself. His bro told him how to deal with mind controls. -... Since you don't belive me there is no point waisting my time with ya... He says looking at Vassago. - I'll be back. And the next time. I won't ask like a nice person, coz when you are nice everybody else are mean. He says getting angry again.
Johnny smirked. "Odd that you're asking me, I don't live here. And I have no idea if your brothere's here or not."
"But you just don't strike me as the type who like to roll over and play the nice mutants for the humans to make them feel safer. You seem more the type to take charge of the situation, who knows that sometimes to get where you want to go, things are going to be... unpleasant," John mused. Something in his voice conveyed that he didn't exactly think that was a bad quality for Sharky to have.
- True but tell me ... Tell me one thing.... Why should I be nice with them since they were bad with me? Why should I step back since I can step forward? You obviously don't know my brother. Otherwise you wouldn't talk so good for those little punks. Sharky looked at Vassago. - You still need to learn some things... things you can learn on your own. Yeah ... I knew that the things would be unpleasant if I come. But I couldn't let my brother down could I? He gives a little smile.
"Oh, if you think I'm going to speak kindly for that school, you're sadly mistaken. You're not the only one with a brother. But how about we dispense with vague statements and just say what we mean, hm? You first. Don't worry, you'll find that I can be very... open."
Sharky points at him. - You .. you are really good. Almost like my bro. What do you think I am? A fool? Don't make me send you to your maker! I really hate guys that can see other people minds and thoughts. That is something personal. He said angerly. - You wanna die? I do ... So what you say to die together huh? Sharky started to losing control. He had to leave this place.
"Why on earth are you so upset right now?" Johnny asked, quirking an eyebrow. "Maybe this is why Magneto gave up all the damn time and started working alone, all of the mutants who are willing to get their hands dirty are nuts."
"If you're going to keep talking about him, at least tell me who the hell your brother is."
Johnny seemed completely unconcerned about the idea that Sharky might attack him, almost like he wasn't a threat to him.
- And what's so wrong to be nut huh? After all aren't we all? I mean you can't tell me you are normal. A normal person can't get in my head so you are as nut as I am. Sharky smiled. - They call him Red Eyes, because of his red eyes.... Sharky said. - Get it? That was a joke ...
- See I can be a funny guy! Well he was kidnaped see and since you guys are so interested in .... gifted people I won't be suprised if he is somewhere in this bulding over there. Sharky says pointing at the school. - I bet you are making experiments or something like that with himq but now I am here. Though it kinda hurted that you left me and took only him. What am I second rate mutant?
