The heroes of the world have fallen. As mankind begins to realize the difference between good and evil is blurred, they have turned on their once respected idols. Chasing heroes and villains alike into the shadows, things have seemed to calm down. No evil, no battles, nothing; just simple peace. But unbeknown to the world, the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division, or SHIELD, has been taken over by an evil, corrupting force. SHIELD was the protector of the world, doing what superheroes and mutants had been decommissioned from doing; now they are just as black as the hearts of the villains that plot beneath the surface of society. Evil is beginning to bleed from every nook and pore of the world again.

Many heroes were torn down, including Anthony Stark, also known as Iron Man. Stark Industries, which was once the leading manufacturer of the worlds firearms and other societal materials has been taken over by Obadiah Stane, Stark's arch nemesis. With the control of Stark Industries and SHIELD, Stane has set into motion a series of events that will perhaps cause a great war between the hidden forces of good and evil. Stane's admonitions have driven many to joining forces, with the X-Men and Brotherhood now working together on the mutant behalf. Many villains have turned to the good side for a short time but a few others have joined together in hopes of destroying the hero base once and for all.

The Masters of Evil have finally started to surface, leaving every mutant and hero breathless in indecision. A side must be chosen and as villainy begins to rise through the world animosity has fleshed itself out in the form of neutral and absolute evil. Batman, Iron Man and Superman have their work cut out for them as Stane grows steadily more powerful, joining forces with Doctor Doom, Mister Sinister and far more vile villains. Though they tried to make the world a better place and succeeded in defeating Stane, many a mutant lost their power and a prestigious hero has died. Iron Man, a respectable figure in the hero and civilian communities is dead. SHIELD and Stark Industries were both handed over to James Rhodes, the closest friend that Tony Stark had ever had. But with one hero dead many more are rising up, attempting to establish their own group known as the Justice League of America to counteract the Masters of Evil. But what will the world do when evil begins to rise
and heroes continue to fall?

Where will your loyalties lie as war begins to emerge?
