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.

Javi reached up to wipe at Booker's tears. He was a sweetheart. He wanted to help, always, in any way he could. Even if it involved blowing up a giant robot and putting himself in danger.
>>"You were…pretty great out there too. Fighting bad guys, mystics, even riding waves of water and pummeling demon dogs…"
When he said it like that, it sounded... ridiculous. Javi smirked. It was still a bit fuzzy, and it was strange to think it had been him, doing all those things.
>>"...I-I'm glad…we both got to walk away from it."
"Me too." He smiled, shaking his head. "It was... a whole lot. I am not sure I want to use magic like that again."
Booker smiled with a bit of relief as he felt Javier wipe the tears from his eyes. It was strange. When they first started dating, this was usually the other way around. Javi had terrible anxiety and needed a comforting and calm space, often something that Booker was only too happy to provide. But that had changed these days. Maybe it was just because of all the exposure Javier got with the X–Men, maybe it was just an example of things changing as they grew together in a relationship. In any case, Javi was good at calming others down too – which was something that Booker was extremely glad for.
Leaning his head into Javi’s hand, he closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. As he could feel his heart rate calming down, he soon breathed a sigh of relief and pressed his forehead against the tailors and smiled. It felt good.
Of course he had to grin at Javi’s inability to remember most of the cool things he had done last night. That would be his luck. He had done so many amazing feats and yet he couldn’t remember any of it. Maybe it was better that way but Booker also had hoped he could recall it, just to help Javi really understand how great and selfless he was.
Booker then nods. ”Of course. I get that,” He shuddered and then turned to look at his display dragonzord dagger. ”Yeah, for as cool as some of this stuff is…it may be better to steer clear of it in the future. At least until whatever was set loose in the world settles a bit.”
"Agreed." Javier smiled at his boyfriend. "Joining the vigilantes has never been the plan... this was a one-time thing." Not the first one-time thing in his life, to be fair, and it wouldn't be the last. But that didn't mean Javier had to run head first into trouble. And Booker definitely didn't.
A loud sizzling sound broke the moment. Javier jumped, turning back to the stove. "Sh*t!"
