Sometime in the late 20th century the world was thrust into a new era in one single moment: the Incident. No one knows what exactly happened, and there are many theories floating about, but one thing is for sure: there were no superheroes before the Incident.
It is now the year 2007 and the world is become used to the idea that superpowered individuals, or Paragons, are around. There are many people who find this to be an amazing and awesome thing, but there are others who see it as the end of the world. There are individuals who want to become a Paragon, and there are individuals who want to see every last one destroyed.
Today, there are more than a million known Paragons in the world and there are probably many more in hiding, or who haven't come into their powers. With men and women who can lift a car with one hand, turn invisible, or shoot fire from their fingertips, it is evident that today is
A New Day.
