Heroes of the highest caliber, the kind you look up to. Doctor Wilson Prescott, a former heart surgeon turned homicidal maniac, developed telekinesis and proceeded to slaughter the entirety of the mental asylum he had been locked in. Legion, a madman who could duplicate himself infinitely took over Chicago. Villains rose to terrorize the world, and heroes rose to meet them. What came next could have come straight out of a comic book. Could superheroes be real? We had all seen the movies, and some still read comics, but the idea of such individuals being real was impossible. That video went viral instantly, and the world went mad. Finally, after getting everyone out, he leapt into the sky, vanishing without a trace. Gasps of shock as he proceeded to lift the truck, pulling it off the van and tossing the crumpled van doors aside without apparent effort. A teenager, face obscured by his hoodie, stepping forward. A family trapped, their minivan pinned between a massive truck and a brick wall. We had begun to forget all about the Event, until that video hit the web, the video that changed the world. You might think it strange, but the human mind has a way of normalizing things after long enough. But weeks passed, and nothing seemed to come of it. Scientists of every shape and variety tried to explain it, to no avail. We called it the only thing we could: The Event. No one knew what had happened, but everyone on earth knew that something had happened. Then, after what felt like an eternity of nothing but light and pain, it was over, gone as fast as it had appeared. The earth shook, and suddenly everything was consumed in blinding white light that seemed to set every atom in your body on fire. No one really knows how to explain was it was or how it happened, but we all remember that day. Whatever happened, the laws of physics were generally kept intact, and life continued on. Well, plenty of strange things happened, because that is life, but not this kind of strange. Nothing all too strange or impossible happened. Governments squabbled, people had arguments on the internet over things that really didn’t matter, and conspiracy theorists claimed the earth was flat. You’ve probably heard this part before, but our world was once like yours. The OmniSphere: Earth Delta, A World of Broken Heroes
