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.

It's rare to find someone in an RP who is willing to have a character that isn't pretty.The character, Chris, isn't pretty, isn't strong, and doesn't smell good, and yet he is one of the most entertaining characters on the site. C'mon! It's a fish man! How can you not love this character?!?!
She's been doing really well at developing a new character. Noel already has a distinct personality that is emerging (only to be erased and emerge again). I love her power and it's backlash. She offers advice IC and OOC. I enjoy following her threads. She takes things in unpredictable directions sometimes, which makes them distinct and fun to read.
Plus not everyone can contend with flaming rhinos AND drop a lobster down Calley's shirt. Awesome.
I'd like to nominate Roland (if the rel Roland would please stand up).
We don't have a whole lot of dirty, rotten, no good, very bad villains around here and Roland is a man you love to hate and hate not to have on your team. He plays with the safety off and uses his powers and mental faculties to bamboozle and amaze. I especially love his references to things in the MRO world that make it just that much more real.
