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.

She nodded a bit to the commentary on romanticism. "We have that in common."
L watched the waiter go, and her eyes widened slightly, barely betraying a stoic bored exterior as she spotted the spiders attached to him, their blue eyes twinkling.
At the behest of their mother the spiders attacked, and the man proceeded to dance like a pained monkey for their entertainment. Slowly, surely, a smile started to creep onto her face. This was bad. Having spiders bite a relatively innocent man in the naughty bits for taking too long with her ID? Undeniably terrible.
But it felt so goooooood.
The little 36 year old turned slowly to the precious, demented trainwreck of a woman before her, and stated plainly.
"I do believe that this is the beginning... of a spectacular friendship."
The following is a series of eyewittness reports of hijinks two probable mutants got up to during a night of unsympathetic shenanigans and tomfoolery:
A man, pale more from lingering shock than natural complexion reported to a roaming bike officer that he'd just seen a little girl walk up to him, ask for directions, and then start coughing, after which a swarm of spiders started crawling from her mouth. He freaked out, and ran for help. Upon returning to the scene, the girl was nowhere to be found, but the man was given a field sobriety test.
Twenty minutes later a woman five blocks away called 911 to frantically report that a small blonde child had approached her asking for help, until a woman in a ninja mask ran up and punched her through the stomach while making exaggerated kung fu noises, before lifting the girl into the air on her arm and running off again.
Police responded to the scene, took a statement and the woman was taken to a local hospital to be treated for a nervous breakdown.
A family called after they saw a mother and her child playing near the street; the Mother was swinging her child around by the arms, and started spinning faster and faster until they both counted down, and the mother swung up and let go, sending the child into traffic, where she was run over.
Several people saw the duo run off cackling afterward.
A business owner phoned in to request someone sent out when a small child threw a grown woman through the front window of his shop, proceeded to throw her around the place while the woman screamed for everyone to run and that she had lost control of the child.
Shoppers and the owner fled when the girl turned on them threateningly. When police arrived the suspect and victim were nowhere to be found.
Concerned citizens at a WrallMart reported a young blonde girl asking for everything in the store as they passed it. She then kicked and screamed on the floor, having a tantrum until her dark-haired mother freaked out in the check out line, and broke her back like so, over her knee, whilst screaming to the elder gods that their sacrifice was complete.
This may or may not have been the same couple of people, and callers seemed more concerned about delays in the check out line.
Emergency room staff found themselves confused after 24 cases of severe alcohol poisoning walked in the door around the same time.
Every single man and woman still conscious slurred the same story about a blonde girl and a tattoed woman drinking everyone at the bar under the table and walking away with pockets full of cash. The owner of the bar in question was among them and only stopped crying long enough to bemoan the fact that he had bet the deed to the bar that he could out drink the blonde one.
Everyone survived, and an abnormal amount of people signed up for the hospital's financial aid services the next day.
An old man reported extreme duress when a woman approached him in a panic, asking if he'd seen her little daughter. While they were looking for her, a little girl fell from the sky, smacking into the pavement, seemingly falling from one of the nearby office buildings. While he freaked out, the girl hopped up and they both started pointing, laughing, and calling him old and stupid before bolting off into an alley.
Five other people reported similar incidents that same night.
