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.

Koga watched the foot traffic pass below him as he lounged up against the wall of a building. He didn’t quite lean on walls like other people did, he was ten feet up and stuck to the side of the wall like a gecko stuck in any random terrarium. His eyes tracked the movement of one particular person on the street he hadn’t seen the actual action happen yet but he had all of the other tell tale signs of a pickpocket that Sarah had taught him. Sarah was another person he needed to track down to say sorry and tell that he was OK. But she was pretty nomadic herself, she might not know he was missing in the first place.
Finally he spotted the hoodlum close on a woman and move away; she was none the wiser as far as he could see. The wallet that was removed from her person was gone before Koga let go of the wall and hit the ground, he walked casually into the crowd. The hoodlum breezed by with the confidence of someone good at his game.
Koga slipped in behind him, From the way that his coat hung heavy it was obvious that he was not settling for one score today. Koga rubbed his fingers together as he stocked his prey. Swiping a wallet was so much easier when ever you fingers were actually stick if needed. The same fingers that would hold him to a wall were designed for swiping wallets like no ones business. Koga systematically emptied the hoodlum’s pocket of six wallets. As the punkish youth closed on another mark Koga’s arm went around the other boy’s waist and undid his belt. He then raised his foot and planted it on the low hanging crotch of his jeans…if you weren’t going to wear your pants at your waist…why wear them at all.
“HEY!” the surprised scream of crime being thwarted came from the hood as his pants got pinned to the ground by Koga’s foot , He flopped forward gracelessly.
“Ssstop working my ssstreetsss.” Koga switched the nice Japanese skintone over to what he liked to refer to as demonface. He marked his face in bright red’s and dark blacks and moved the colors up his skin in a fiery pattern. The teen rolled over with his pant’s still around his ankles, sitting on the concrete must have been cold. His eyes were wide as he saw the ‘freak’ that stood over him.
“You got anything elssse?” Koga Rasped at the young man. “if sso I want it.” the young man threw him a wallet that was in the inside breast of his coat. Koga flipped open the wallet and closed it, tossing it his head. “Not yoursss moron. Now get out of here.” He then glared. “oh and if I find you ssstealing again, the conssequencess will be worsse. Go to sschool, get a job, I don’t care but if I catch you again, there will be hell to pay. “
The man got up and ran holding his pants up high as he did so. With a grin Koga let his skin fall back to his normal skin color and made way to find the latest victim. He put the other six in his pocket, he would be returning those by mail, with a pro mutant and human relations letter.
“excuse me Missss. But someone stole this from you, I got it back.” Koga held out the wallet to the Female in front of him.
Allison had noticed when someone brushed closer to her than normal, but hadn't realized what happened. She'd been focused on her thoughts, going over plans and schedules and attempting to both remember the weather forecast, and shut up the little voice in the back of her head that was wondering why she bothered listening to the weather forecast for more than a few days ahead. So it was more than a slight surprise to have an... odd-looking boy appear in front of her with a wallet that certainly looked like hers. She blinked, then brushed her hands over the pocket she'd thought she put it in (not there), the rest of her pockets (not there either) and finally took back what appeared to, indeed, be her wallet. "Uh, thanks. I didn't notice it was missing."
...Which kind of pissed her off, really. Noticing when something suddenly disappeared from your pocket didn't take a mutation, never had. Why couldn't she do that? 'Being useless' had almost always been a personal pet peeve of Allison's, but it had been gaining power much more quickly in the last few months. "How did you know?"
"I've been sstalking er, watching him for a few blockss,I couldn't be ssure that he wassn't jusst clumssy. He made a broader motion with you sso I actually ssaw the wallet go into hiss pocket thiss time."Noting that the woman seemed to be kicking her self for not knowing, he read her expressions like a book. He smiled and pulled out the other five wallets. "Don't feel bad, he wass a pro.I was actively watching him and he got thesse off of five other people. and I didn't ssee anything but what looked like a pro working.Lookss like I'll be dropping theirss off to them later." .
He let the smile stay on his face. "Is everything ok?" He glanced around the area, he asssumed the worst she had to worry about is being more aware of her surroundings but you never knew unless you asked.
Allison raised her eyebrows when the odd boy pulled out several more wallets. That... made her kind of wonder if he hadn't been the one taking them somehow, seeing as he clearly must have had the ability to get them from whoever had taken them without causing a fuss. On the other hand, she couldn't think what the possible point of returning hers or showing them to her would be, so she let it go. "Good luck finding them."
Allison shrugged. "Yeah, as far as I know. A lot of stuff to catch up on, but that's really it."
Koga put the wallets back away. " Thankss, Sshouldn't be too hard I have more identification about them right now then they do, mosst likely." The reptilian young man couldn't quite put his finger on it...but He felt like she needed something more, Koga surveyed the scene and tried to discern what she was catching up on. " well, I hope that works out for you too, the catching up."
Koga pondered what the woman could possibly be behind on, she could be in college. "are you behind on homework?" He could help with that....Man, he needed to find something more productive to do with his time, the wallet thing was worthwhile, but pestering some lady about imagined problems was a bit overboard.
