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.

Since learning her new skills over the last ten years Nika liked to keep herself sharp. She wanted to be sure she didn't lose any of her effectiveness in a combat situation. On top of that she loved the workout and how good it made her feel.
Nika dressed out in her X-Man uniform, minus her gauntlets, and headed out to the Danger Room. Upon entering she went to the control room. She started up the main computer while preparing herself mentally.
"Crystal? I'd like to do some training today. I would like a cage style setting. You know, like what they have in the Ultimate Fighting Championship matches."

"Crystal? I'd like to do some training today."
Crystal Version 8.3, aka Crys, swirled into existence at Nika's request.
"Hello, Miss Nika," the hologram greeted in a much more formal tone than her original predecessor. "How may I be of assistance?"
"I would like a cage style setting. You know, like what they have in the Ultimate Fighting Championship matches."
The blond image nodded. "Yes, Miss Nika. One moment, please."
The image disappeared, and the Danger Room whirred to life. A wrestling platform began to raise from the floor beneath the catgirl's feet. A metal fencing emerged from withing the platform, encircling it on all four sides.
From the sides of the room, four doors opened, and four robots emerged, holocameras blinking into life to give them a humanoid likeness. The four fighters ranged the racial spectrum in appearance; caucasian with long dirty-blond dreadlocks, shaggy redhead with mustache, beard and numerous tattoes, dark-skinned with buzz-cut platinum blond hair and goatee, and oriental with clean-shaven face and bright green eyes. They also ranged the scale from tall to short, as well as bulky and muscular to wiry.
"Please choose your opponent and difficulty level," Crys requested.
Crys appeared was was more than willing to aid Nika in her training request. She watched the Danger Room transform into a fight arena. Quickly after that four doors opened up. Nika was able to see they were robots before the holograms covered them.
"I think I'll pick..."
Nika looked the figures over for a moment. She was deciding if she wanted to fight someone that was more of a powerhouse or someone that was more agile. She was pretty sure each one had a differet fighting style that they would use against her.

"I think I'll pick.... the tattooed man with the red hair."
"Acknowledged."
The three rejects retook their places behind the wall, while Nika's chosen opponent moved forward into the cage. His body mass easily doubled Nika's, closing in on triple, though he only stood three inches taller. Though he wore no shirt, tattoos covered him like one.
"Fighters, take your positions."
He took a defensive stance, both bare fists up in a boxer's pose, shuffling from foot to foot.
The cage door slammed closed, signaling the start of the fight. The robot made the first move, jabbing a fist out experimentally.
The chosen fighter stepped into the cage and Nika watched the others step back. Taking a few calming breaths she wasn't quite sure what to expect. She observed the fighters stance as she looked for possible weak points. Her time to look was cut short once the cage door shut and the fighter immediately punched at her.
Nika made a quick side step and countered with a punch aimed for the fighters now exposed rib area with her outside fist. She kept the arm closest to the fighter in a defensive position should he try to strike her while she made her attack. He was pretty fast for being so big. IF it were a real person she would probably comment on it. However since he was just a simulation she remained silent.
