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.

Rapture sat at his desk, it was at the top floor of his 100 floor skyscraper, his office was incredibly large and had a marvelous view of the city, expensive carpet covered the floor as the walls were adorned with incredibly rare weapons and paintings, there was a couch and a chair as well as his desk and chair, which were all top of the line fixtures, and of course all the furniture was dark leather, outside of the desk which was the highest quality oak wood, however under the dark carpet was thousands of steel threads, put there to give him the competitive edge if ever attacked in his office, since all of the other fixtures for the most part were not in his power scope
He was wearing his usual outfit of a custom tailored black suit, with expensive dark sunglasses, dark leather loafers and his custom made watch, his fingers intertwined as he sat erect, waiting for his next appointment to come in, he was to meet a politician who was a hardcore advocate for mutants rights, Rapture was more interested in himself for the most part, and didn't care to much about mutant treatment globally as no one suspected him of being a mutant, however following what happened with the camps, Damien has since had an epiphany and decided that he and other mutants deserve equal if not better treatment then the weaker species of humans
Hopefully this politician will have the same views as I do and we can meet some sort of agreement on me backing him financially and spokes person wise
Cesare Stepped into the extravagent office slowly, he was astonished by what he saw stepping into the office. It was even more amazing then what he had seen walking to the office. He stepped fully in and saw what seemed like thousands and thousands of dollars in one office room, which in comparison to the rest of the building, was small. He knew the man Damien Rapture had money, and lots of it, but he had never imagined something like this, his office what what someone with a good income's home might be. On his way in, he couldn't help but notice a glass vase, it was possibly one of the, if not the best crafted and designed glass anything he had ever seen. He walked up to the desk which stood in front of the man whom he had talked with on the phone earlyer, the man whom he hoped would help fund his political activites, because even tho Cesare had money save away, it was no where near enough what he needed.
Cesare was wearing a very nice white suit with his usual sunglasses and some very nice and very expensive dress shoes. Although it wasn't so rare for him to dress nice, it went a little over the top this time, but that was mainly because he wanted to make a good impression on Mr. Rapture. As he knew Mr. Rapture, no matter how powerful he was, was never to interested in politics, in fact he had never heard Mr. Rapture mention anything of mutants and politics in all of his interviews, which was strange as that was and probably still is the "hot" topic.
"Hello Mr. Rapture, I'm Cesare Demione, the politician form the phone call."He said reaching out his hand as to shake Mr. Raptures.
Damien watched as the politician walked through his office, an awed looked in his eye, most likely due to the vast amount of worth that was in this room, the man sat down in front of him and introduced himself with his name and an outstretched hand, Rapture firmly reached out and shook the mans hand
"Nice to meet you, I'm sure your already aware, but I'm Damien Rapture, and if I'm correct your hear to discuss me and my corporation, publicly endorsing and financially backing your political activities, now I'm fairly certain that you know my corporation has a heavy influence on the ebb and flow of things in the economic world and outreach wise there isn't many things we don't have our hands on, so our endorsement doesn't come by very often, in fact politically it's never happened, so we're being incredibly selective about the candidate we choose for our endorsement, now I'd like you to tell me a little bit about you, your political history and what you stand for politically"
He then sat back in his chair and looked at the man as he waited for him to try and convince him to help his political campaigns
Lets see what this man has to say, hopefully his pitch will be alot better then the last 5 politicians I've had to decline
"Well let me cut straight to the chase, I'm sure you don't neeed your time wasted. In my history with politics, I was a semi-known politician fighting for mutant rights, as you probably know, I myself am a mutant capable of glass manipulation, but that's not the reason I drive for mutant rights. My sole purpose is to get those media warping humans to.... how should I put it? Pay? Repent? Well either one would do, I was in those camps for the longest times, and as you're aware I'm sure, they were'nt a 4 star Hotel to say the least. Now I'm working alone for the time being to push forward the mutant movement. My hard politics, silver tounge, and distinct hate for humans have gained me some popularity as some would say. But as you well know, doing this and orginizing all these things takes away most of my time, and so with little financial backing, it's impossible for me to work against these anti-mutant campaigns. The reason I'm here today as you know is that you offered to back a politician financially. I know you need someone who will represent and bring more money to your company, and I really think that could be me, given the chance of course. As a summary of my current employ into politics, I'm here to bring mutants the right's they have earned.. nay, the rights they deserve."
Cesare said this looking at the mans eyes, he didn't know Mr. Rapture's personal views in mutants, but seeing as he had never heard anything negative about mutants from him, he thought he had a good opportunity.
Rapture listened, very impressed by the mans resume and experience in the field, most impressive however was his experience with mutants themselves, being in the camps and surviving was a daunting task and ensured that this man had true conviction in what he was doing and what he did, most of the other pro-mutant politicians were just humans that wanted to seem more liberal and open minded, but not this man, he was truly with the cause and that was exactly what Mr.Rapture was looking for
"Thats very extensive and very much what I'm looking for in a political affiliate, however, I'm curious as to know the extent of your mutant power, do you mind demonstrating it to me for a moment, I would very much like to see this glass manipulation in action"
He then sat back a little more in his chair, eager to see what this mutant ability was like, Mr.Rapture didn't have alot of experience in seeing other mutant abilities as he had an image to maintain, and he was always welcome to see another mutant exhibiting their abilities
"Ahh, so it is my power you ask to see, sure that's no problem counting that you don't mind me borrowing your window that is."
Cesare folded up his shirt's sleeves and put his hands in front of him. He moved them a little closer together and torts him, the glass on the window seemed to follow, it condensed in a little and moved inside the building. Cesare then began to move and twist his hands in strange and crazy patterns. He continued on and on warping the glass, untill finally it began taking shape. He kept on going untill finally it was done, it was a sword, but a glass sword, engraved with amazing and extravagent designs, some that would litterally be impossible without the power Cesare holds. Engraved in it was the words Damien Rapture in what was extremely amazing letters, such detail added to every little piece.He then finally put it down on the desk and moved his hands upon it. As he had guessed it was extremely fine glass the Mr. Rapture had used for his windows, and so he strengthened the sword, to a strength as hard as steeel itself, power wise it was no weaker than any of the other swords or blades Mr. Rapture had hanging on his wall. He then presented it into Mr. Rapture's hands.
"I present to you a sword, but this isn't any normal sword, besides it being made of glass, if you would please notice the detail and craftsmanship into it, you could not find any other like it. I also strengthened it, to the strength of anyother sword, so to say this more clearly, you have the worlds first and only actual battle ready glass sword. I do hope you enjoy it, take it as a gift from me, wether I get the sposorship or not, more of a token for your time."
Rapture sat there slightly awe struck as the man formed a marvelous glass sword out of one of his fine windows, the man then inscribed and presented it to him, he took off his glasses and examined the amazingly crafted weapon that lay before him, he then picked it up and carried it over to an empty stand on his wall next to a few others, he set it there, and walked back over, sitting down in his black leather desk chair
"That was possibly the most unique and quite frankly sentimental gift I ever received, and I can, with all honesty say, that I will cherish it forever, thank you very much for something so valuable and for demonstrating such a fantastic power to me, as for our financial sponshership, you have definatly demonstrated that your different then the other "pro-mutant" politicians and I would most certainly be lying if I said you weren't my top candidate at this point, however"
He then put his hands on the table and stared sharply into the mans eyes as if peering right into him, with serious conviction and power, like looking into the eyes of a tiger, who has your livelihood in his hands
"I must be certain your activities match what I'm looking for, so please tell me what you would plan to do with the near infinite amount of financial backing my company offers and what your political activities will include, keeping in mind that every dollar of this fund you spend will be fiercely monitored by my team of top financial experts, accountants and business lawyers, in case you decided to spend even a penny of this money elsewhere
"Ah, I'm certaingly glad you like it, I must admit it's one of my finest works art wise. But I can't deny that I tried hard to impress you, for you see this sponsorship could be the difference needed to send my campaign into the eyes of the nation. I would hope that I'm different from those "sensitive" politicians for mutant rights who only do it for the reputation of being good hearted. I want to actually change something, not just get in some face time like others I'm sure have visited you on this sponsorship."
Cesare sat there, looking straight into the mans eyes, making sure no doubt about his intentions would be left behind after this meeting. The look in Cesare's eyes was almost piercing into the other man's head, to insure him one hundred percent of his plans. He sat there, the room was very quiet and calm nothing but their words broke silence every once in a while.
"Of course I wouldn't spend the money elsewhere my plans are only to fight in my beliefs through politics and that's where any dollar I would recieve from you would go to. I cam here on intentions of only politics, and I'm very aware of your financial teams, so I would have to be a moron to think I could get away with anything close to stealing from you. Besides, you've sat here and spoken to me for some time now, you tell me if I seem like I would steal from you. If it does then by all means refuse, for I know one must be sure of other's intentions when trusting them with valuable things."
