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.

"Erm...well I used to be until I came to the institute." Emerald sighed, tail dropping between her legs. "Lets just say most of the humans think I am uncontrollable monster."
Emerald shuddered at the thought of the humans that always looked at her as if she was a horrid beast. If they had just stopped trying to chase her she wouldn't have to kill the civilians! But it was their own fault in her opinion.
"Do you know what its like to be looked at like you would attack at any given moment. Like you were some kind of monster?" Emerald asked on a sadder note.
"Yeah... actually I do," he said with a humorless laugh. "My brother managed to make everyone afraid of mutants... then he just hopped off and left me to take all the flak for it. If I'm going to get hounded for being a mutant, I'd rather actually deserve it."
"Wow...man that sucks," Emerald said with a sympathetic glance at him. "So because of what someone else did you are judged, I see no justice in that. Pfft..what justice is there for people like us."
"The kind we make for ourselves," Johnny chuckled. "You think the police are going to help a mutant that's getting mugged? They didn't seem to be jumping a few minutes ago. Fortunately, nature's on our side," he grinned, the same roguish grin Mike tended to get.
"True, very true. We are the next step in evolution. Im not saying we should kill all the humans, But I do believe that people will have to learn to deal with us." Emerald grinned, sharp canines showing.
"Starved, I forgot to eat while I was in the kitchen back at the institue," Emerald rubbed her belly. She heard a small growl elict from it and she blushed lightly. "Im so Hungry I could eat a whole Caribou."
Emerald led John through various trips and turns until they finally came to a solid metal door with a slot in it. The slot opened when Emerald knocked on the door.
A pair of violet eyes stared out from behind the darkness. "Hey Furball glad to see you back." A Voice said to Emerald looking her up and down. "You grew an inch."
"Yea Yea Stan now will you let me in?" Emerald growled irritably.
"What's his power?"
"Would you like to show him John?" Emerald asked with a smile.
Stan nodded and opened the door to the club. To one with enhanced senses the first thing you smell is the smell of beef being made into sandwiches the second thing is one will smell the smell of mutants. There were mutants of all shape, color and size. All using thier powers freely and openly among thier own kind.
Emerald picked a booth in the corner and sat down. She popped open the menu and began looking through it. "So John what are you gonna have?" She asked curiously
