Timeline
In 1996, a classified virus broke out in America, contaminating the water supply. Spreading from small towns to major cities, people began to get sick and die at a slow rate. Panic erupted across the country.
And the government responded by quarantining the infected while remaining vague about the virus's origins.
It wasnāt until Holiday Incorporated, a rising pharmaceutical company, announced a cure that society began to return to normal.
2002 ā The First Whispers.
Six years later, whispers began spreading on social media about people developing superhuman abilities.
Some conspiracy theorists started linking these abilities to the 1996 outbreak, claiming that the virus caused humans to evolve and gain powers. Others think that the holiday's so-called cure was something else.Ā
2009 -The acknowledgment of super able peopleĀ
The United States confirms that its citizens are superhuman and informs the public that those with these abilities should not use them under any circumstances, as they pose a danger to themselves, and that they should voluntarily turn themselves in to the authorities.
This announcement led to mixed reactions from the public
One side thought the American government was being too hard on these super-able people, while others believed these super-powered individuals were wrong for wanting their powers and should be forcibly removed from humankind, creating the extreme movement, the Society Against Superhuman (SAS), for short.
