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.

Watching the man’s reaction when Syn complimented him gave an instant tell. She found a hook for him.
“You’re quite welcome. You mentioned restoring things gives you time to work on your power. May I enquire as to what that might be? Maybe a little demonstration perhaps?” As she spoke the dark queen placed the tip of her right index finger to her mouth so she could gently nibble it while tilting her head and giving a pleading look from her emerald eyes.
Syn always enjoyed discovering what other talents mutants possessed. It was like going to a candy store and finding new interesting candies each time as mutant abilities varied so much from one to another. Then she would ponder possible uses for each talent like pieces of a puzzle. It was definitely a habit that she’d never get tired of.
“Ah, so you’re new here. Well then, welcome to New York City. What jobs have you applied for and what would be your dream job if you could have it?”
Continually reading the shadow assassins movements, tones and words Syn paid attention to all the little messages being spoken and unspoken. Her posture remained stern for a few moments while Shade spoke. She could still tell he was hiding something yet she let him explain himself, but hearing him say she’ll get the information she wants gave her a good feeling.
Without warning the dark woman smiled brightly and her posture changed to one of happiness and cheer. Her tone also raised up to a more pleasant one. “Wonderful! I’m so glad you’ve kept on doing your homework my dear Shade. I eagerly look forward to our next little chat.”
Syn stood up and walked to the door of the War Room. As she stepped through it she turned back to Shade briefly and gave a Cheshire Cat like smile before the door closed behind her.
With her attention glancing back and forth between the man and the little bot Syn noticed the appearance of the small triangular appendages. Thankfully the man, who introduced himself as Richard, called out instructions to send the mechanical thing away and then explained what might’ve happened. “Yes, I do believe that would have been rather upsetting. Thank you for not letting it happen Richard.”
The shop looked like it had been tended to rather well. Assuming the man and his robot had been the ones to arrange everything Syn had a pleasant look on her face. This seemed to be the ideal place for Richard. He obviously had skills with technical and mechanical things. Slightly nodding in approval of his accomplishments the woman moved to the edge of one of the work tables. “I can see this is a good place for you. I’m glad you discovered it. I have a feeling your talents will come in rather handy Richard. You may call me Syn and I am one of the people in charge of Sanctuary as well as it being my home.” She smiled to him.
