HEROES RETURN

When the Avengers and X-Men went missing along with almost the entire roster of MI13's powered units there was a question as to how the world would cope without the mightiest of heroes, and the answer was? Very well indeed!

Messiah Corp brought the humanitarian fight to the world's powers and Sigur Karlson seemed to take a global stance on his suppression of powered criminal activity. Backed by The Crusaders being called in as a genuinely world class super response team the world seemed safe, and so many started to ask if The Avengers were really the heroes the world needed any more?

With the return of The Avengers and the X-Men the world seems a more dangerous place once again. Complicated inter-team issues, in fighting and an intense disenfranchisement felt by ex-members of both teams show these power house units to be dinosaurs, fighting over the right to lord it over the other powered individuals of planet Earth.

The X-Men have retreated back into the confines of Utopia and have been told they are not wanted to answer any questions the international community have concerning the recent Phoenix event. They will be left to lick their wounds and try to find their place on this new Earth. The Avengers on the other hand have been called to answer pressing concerns the United Nations has with the handling of their recent war with the X-Men, their inability to house and contain powered threats properly and their inability to respond to international threats with the same energy and commitment they show for United States incidents.

The British Government were keen to extend the hand of friendship to the ex-New Crusaders and MI13 operatives that returned on the same day The Avengers did, though in what capacity the powered individuals will be welcomed into a new agency is unknown.
