War...War is a cycle. A disease. A pestilence that has been with Man since Cain killed his brother.
From the wars between the Greek city-states and Persia in the Greco-Persian Wars, to the rise of Rome, and it's Empire. From the Holy Wars in the Middle East, to the Hundred Years' War, and Thirty Years' War. To the revolutions, and civil wars, to the Great Wars. Man has kill his follower man in the name of God, Glory, Power, Ideology, Leader, Justice and Psychotic rage.
The last Great War bought about a new order. The once great empires, and they Imperialism was on their death beds. The world was cut in two with the knife of the Allies, and reshape. The West was rule by the United States of America, and the East the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. A new type of war was born. A war fought with words, WMD's, and proxy wars. A war between the ideas of Communism and Capitalism: The Cold War.
After 45, Earth dealt with many flashpoints, all of them leading to it's near total destruction. China. Korea. Cuba. Vietnam. Iran, and Afghanistan. All, but a forewarning of what lay ahead if Man carry on it's path. Man did not listen, and carry on.
In the mist of these events, was the hero, and villain. People with great powers that either use to help, or use for they own gain. For the most part, most of these people did not get involve with the battle between East and West, but in the last few years, as more, and more realize the Earth was heading into the abyss, heroes, and even some villains try to stop it. Stop America and the USSR for destroying the world for ideas.

On 31 October. 1989, it happen.
The Third World War.
The Great Cremation.
The Nuclear rain.
The Atomic storm.
Who really started it does not truly matter, only the aftermath. The West and East nearly wiped the Earth clean of life as they ICBM's and bombers drop they lords. Once great cities such as New York. Metropolis. Central City. Moscow. Paris. And many others.Spears of nuclear fire rained from the skies, burning everything, and sending all life into a nuclear Oblivion. The Heroes and villains also fell, many dying with they cities. Die they did, many trying one last time to save the day, but failing.
And then...silence.
However, this was not the end of Humanity. Just the start of the next chapter of the book of life. Thous who survive the war form new tribes, groups, societies. Many base off the old world, but also new ideas born from the Atomic fires.
The Heroes and villains that was not killed by the Atomic storms did what they before the war. Heroes work to rebuild and the villains work for they own gain. However, they soon die, or disappear.
As the Earth kept turning, so die Man, and his ways, same as before. War. Killing. Destruction. Man needs new heroes, old and new, as new, and old threats comes to do what they what.
In the Edwards Air Force Base, and the town, a new hero is to truly rise from the ashes, as fights to protect her home, and what is left of the good. As she fly's into the air, others shall soon appear, good, and bad.
The time for new heroes is at last here.
But they shall find that the scars from the
