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.

The sky darkened, and clouds rolled in, bringing with them booms of thunder and brilliant flashes of lightning. Is that all the girl had to offer, a little storm? Charlotte resisted the urge to laugh. It was turning into a fight, and she had to treat it as such. Maybe she could laugh afterwards, once she was done dealing with Magnum, who at present was reaching down to grab her gun from its holster. Instinctively, the blonde's hand flexed, calling forth a small stream of water that coiled around her hand. Thrusting her arm forward, the stream flew forward, cracking like a whip in the open space between the girls.
"Don't be a coward." she spat, cracking the water whip again, this time letting it stop just inches from the brunette's face. The wind had picked up, blowing her blonde hair into a frenzy, which only angered her more. Things had escalated quickly, and Charlotte wasn't quite sure how it had happened. But it was too late for apologies or negotiating. If she didn't stand her ground, she'd come off as a coward, and that was not acceptable. She did have to commend her opponent. Conjuring up such a huge storm without even lifting a finger was impressive; maybe she could learn a thing or two from the latina.
By now the clouds had reached their breaking point, and a steady rain had begun to fall. Within seconds, the blonde's clothes were soaked through to her skin. They were heavy, and every part of her was wet. Raising her free arm, Charlotte pushed some of her energy into the air, diverting the water around her. Where it should fall and hit her, the droplets would instead roll to the side, as if a dome had erected itself around the girl. She waited, watching the rain pool around her while keeping a close eye on the other female.
Magnum was terrified - not of Charlotte, but of herself. As the first whip struck, she had poured so much concentration into attempts at defusing the clouds that she didn’t notice it until the water crackled in the air, losing a few bits of liquid. Immediately, she jumped back. This was followed quickly by the admonishment of, “Don’t be a coward.” The whip moved again, this time coming almost to her face. It was close enough for Magnum to notice something: the very tip of the water stream started disintegrating. She did not know if Charlotte had noticed, but she knew that this was her power’s way of protecting her. The rain from the clouds could pour down all it wanted, but the water manipulator’s streams would never hit.
Raindrops began to swirl around the blonde’s dome, coiling tighter as they slid to the ground in a never ending supply while attempting to exhaust the demi-forcefield the manipulator had placed around herself. Lightning crashed through the air. Magnum had no extensive practice with her power and was working almost entirely off of emotions and mental images. Currently, she was trying to recreate a small scale hurricane around Charlotte to cut off her supply of water. This might result in the two girls becoming locked in a battle over molecules, which Magnum prepared for by advancing. She couldn’t walk on water, but she was fairly certain that if she lunged and managed to catch her opponent they would both go toppling into the lake. Based on body builds, it would be easy for Magnum to dominate a close range fist fight.
And that would be how she could win - by force rather than power.
