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.

Who do you think is worthy of the coveted title of Mutant of the Month? Who has really shone in the month of February? Who makes your heart throb, or takes your breath away with their magnificent posts? Who has won you over this month?

Autisim is a very complicated illness that even some doctors do not understand. Not only has Michael handled the issue well, in a manner that is believable, but he has taken a character who's disability makes social interactions difficult and managed to find ways for him to be a part of a community. I have enjoyed reading his topics and look forward to what he has up his sleeves.
Curious for his work? You should be.
Finger Paint (Mikey Style) A fun thread with Hokee. Who wouldn't want to paint by flopping over the paper? Be My Valentine Little kid worrying about spilling their punch and not about love and romance? Classic!
I'd like to second the nomination for Michael. I am amazed at how well the handler has a grasp on Autism and pays attention to the little details such as lack of eye contact and such.
I love the interactions that Michael had in this thread: Game Over The kid is still new to the area and follows Chase blindly into an environment his character fears. The blind attachment to puzzles seems to help him cope with the world around him. Bravo.
Small, scared and totally wet himself. This thread is beautifully written as a rang of emotions are drawn between the characters. Plus there are aww moments like when Sam starts to sing to Michael. Two dreadlocks up!
Introduction by Algorithum is a cute little lighthearted thread. You can see how Michael tries to interact with others and just how precious the puzzles are to him. Thumbs up on that one Mikey!

MRO!ladies and gentle!RPers, I present for your consideration a nomination a long time coming: Mr. Simon Oliver Smith. To members of the catachrestic masses, the appellation "Zephyr" may be more recognizable.
He's been with us since May 2007; one of our oldest members, yet he's never won Mutant of the Month.
A sampling of his recent work:
The Ick Factor: in which aeroplanes, trips to England, and doing that with your sister are advised against in equal measure. A true cautionary tale for the ages.
The Doctor Is In: in which Zephyr works diligently to ensure that Isabel's pristine reputation is maintained. And Isabel kindly reciprocates.
MROians, I beseech you: let us cease our floccinaucinihilipilification of this modest man. It is high time for the fans of Zephyr to rise up, and give Katrina a chance to put a white-haired picture of him on the main page for the lolz applaud this outstanding member of our humble community.
