High Level Campaign Overview

Physical World (Description): The world is very much like our own except that it has superheroes, supervillains, and magic. Meta-humans (people with extraordinary powers and/or abilities) have been known to exist for the past hundred years or more and are a familiar part of society. Much of the published Champions material will be used, but not all of it will be used as it was written.

The largest difference, besides superpowered individuals, was the Change. The Change was the most dramatic event in human history. The mystic energies that were released in the climactic battle between the Red Skull and Earth’s heroes altered the very physical laws of our universe in some areas. Also called the Mystic Explosion of 1996, The Change had lasting effects that are still being evaluated to this day. The bolts that were thrown around the Earth made drastic changes wherever they landed from creating areas where technology just doesn’t work to strange lands appearing out of nowhere.

Hero Groups: There are several groups of superheroes that have banded together to fight injustice. Foremost among them are the Avengers. This group has been together in one form or another over the past 30 years. The Champions, from Millennium City, is also viewed as one of the Earth’s best hero groups.

Villain Groups: Oh yes, we have villain groups. Many of the groups are from published material along with many new ones. Anything goes here.

Hey! Wasn't That What's-his/her-name?: You may meet many characters that you will recognize from DC and Marvel comics. While the face, or costume, may seem familiar don't rely on your knowledge of their lives and adventures from the comics. I have "adapted" many of them into my campaign and given them their own continuity within the campaign. (That’s heroes and villains.)

Aliens: Extra-terrestrial life exists in abundance, the general populace of Earth is aware that it exists.

Magic: Magic is another thing that the public is aware of.

Introduction

And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth’s mightiest heroes and heroines found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, the Avengers were born—to fight the foes no single super hero could withstand! Through the years, their roster has prospered, changing many times, but their glory has never been denied! Heed the call, then—for now, the Avengers Assemble!

Countless dangers threaten Earth and her people: would-be world conquerors; powered armor-wearing madmen; invaders from outer space and other dimensions; ruthless assassins; criminal and terrorist organizations bent on world domination; mad scientists equipped with super-technology; evil sorcerers and their mystic minions; and costumed criminals of every possible description.

Fortunately, an equally diverse array of superheroes stands ready to oppose these menaces at every turn and keep humanity safe.

You are one such hero, ready to put your life on the line to defend Freedom, Truth, and Justice. Sometimes you struggle to balance your personal life and responsibilities with the undeniably important duties of your costumed persona, but in the end all the effort’s worth it… usually.
Over the past two decades, the Earth has been through momentous changes that have shattered humanity’s preconceptions and beliefs. Extra-terrestrial life exists; magic is real; other dimensions, while unseen, are infinite in number. It has been the job of all superheroes, especially the Avengers, to maintain peace and defend the Earth from all threats.

But now, there is movement in the shadows. Unknown forces are at work attempting to bring about change according to their secret agenda. Their influence extends to every part of the globe, and their agents have infiltrated every major organization.

The Avengers have never faced an enemy this well-entrenched. How can they protect the Earth from its enemies when they don’t know who is an enemy and who is a friend?
