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.

In the thread Running from, running to, which takes place IC on approximately May 6, the powers of two mutants, Effie and Garrett, were combined in a rather catastrophic way.
Time: Evening(?) of May 6(ish), two days after the pokemon battle and about two weeks before Hunter returned.
Location: the epicenter of this attack was at Iris Clinic, which is just south of Central Park in Manhattan. The radius of the attack would cover most of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn and Queens. (The radius is that or an average city, but NY is rather a bit larger than an average city, so some areas would not be affected.)
Effects of the attack: A person's nervous system is overstimulated. Every nerve in the body fires in tandem. This would most likely result in a lot of pain, muscle spasms, and fainting from the over stimulation. Some people's hearts may stop for a moment; of these people who's hearts are affected most people's brains will restart the heart immediately. Those with weak hearts that are affected in this way are likely to die of cardiac arrest.
The news: News of this will spread quickly. The first reports will be of massive pile ups and other car accidents all over Manhattan. Later reposts may begin to speculate as to the nature of the attack and start looking for patterns. They may even be able to locate the epicenter as the mutant-friendly shop area south of the park. Anti-mutant protests are likely at this time.
Your character: If you do not choose to let this affect your character, you do not have to. There is plenty of areas of the city that were not affected that you could be in at that time. It is likely that your character will hear about it, though.
---Please give mods a heads up when you are planning city-wide or earth-shaking events, so we can prepare for helping other people react to them. Thanks!---

Just a quicky, as I'm terrible at geography, where abouts does the Mansion fall in the... fallout? Radius? whichever it is called... How far would you have to be from it to get affected if it doesn't reach the mansion? If I ever go to America, spercifically New York, I'm going to be terribly dissapointed that there's no mansion <3 Verdy
Iris Clinic is conveniently located pretty much equidistant from the mansion, the Sanctuary, and the Labs. We've already got people at the mansion who have felt the effects, so it should be pretty safe to assume that the Labs and the Sanctuary would also fall within that area.
How far would you have to be from it to get affected if it doesn't reach the mansion?
