A Mutants & Masterminds Campaign
No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Everyone knows who the superheroes are. You see them on TV, you know their names, you buy their action figures. Here’s the thing, though: anyone the media calls a “hero” is either sponsored by the government or a corporation. Every one. Every hero team needs a license to operate and who do you think provides that license? Do they do good things? Sure. But they do it on the company dime, and that makes them beholden to company policy. You see the heroes saving people, stopping disasters, thwarting villains. But who decides who’s worth saving, what’s really a disaster, who’s really a villain?
Villains. Yeah. That’s a much murkier area. Some of them are bad, don’t get me wrong; some of them do things that would make history’s greatest monsters proud, and they do it for personal gain or revenge or for no reason at all. Evil exists. But some people who get painted with that “villain” brush are just supers without a corporate sponsor. They’re off-book. Unsanctioned.
Enter Destiny, Avatar of the Fates, and longtime member of the Guardians of Justice. She’s been able to translate her popularity as a member of the team over the years into celebrity, celebrity into wealth, and wealth into a small, but successful entertainment brand: Lemonade Entertainment Media, Inc. She’s started to notice how, while technically, justice is for everybody, it tends to benefit the elite, the wealthy, and the privileged. It’s time for that to change. Destiny has recruited you to fight for real justice. To the public, you’re on the payroll providing security for LEM, Inc. Behind the scenes, you are seeking justice for the voiceless, for those in the margins, for those who have been left behind and you won’t be satisfied until it comes cascading down like a flood and washes away injustice.
