1933-1945 The War of the Supermen

It all began when Hitler officially used the first superhuman soldier in World War Two. This soldier was called Ubermensch, and he was the ideal of the Aryan race that the despot envisioned: blue eyes, blond hair, tall, and rippling with muscles. He could fly, was impervious to gunfire, and strong enough to lift buildings. After using him as a stallion to impregnate a number of German women to pass on his prodigious genes, he was deployed on the front when Germany's position was becoming untenable. Everywhere he went, massacre and desolation followed until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the United States of America joined the war. To counter Ubermensch, the Americans deployed their own superhuman, Major Freedom, whose powers mirrored those of the German super soldier. Then, more and more supermen and women from the US and other Allied countries joined when the Auschwitz camp was discovered and the evil deeds of Germany were brought to light.

Nikola Tesla, facing his waning years, in 1941 successfully perfected a serum that restored him to the youthful vigor of his twenties and gave him superhuman regeneration. The CIA and the richest individuals around the world hunted him down for it. The poor man, like many geniuses and visionaries, had underestimated the power of human greed. Even while dodging most of the world’s two-bit villains, Tesla was still resolved to help his fellow humans, and superhumans, in the war by finding other superhumans that had previously gone undetected. Thanks to a breakthrough while studying Major Freedom, a superhuman detector was invented. Superhumans give off a different radiation signature than normal humans. It became much easier to find them after this discovery.

This was how Major Freedom, The Leopard, and Nikola Tesla found the undersea continent of Amazonia in the Bermuda triangle. The Amazonian Queendom was thousands of years more advanced than the countries that fought in World War Two. Tesla, having lost sight of the reason they entered the hidden country in the first place, began asking too many questions. As a result, they were imprisoned in the Queen's dungeons. After being kept prisoner for a week, Major Freedom, Tesla, and their military retinue were given an audience with Queen Dorina King herself. Major Freedom spoke first to ask the Amazonian Queendom to help them in the war and come join with their fellow humans on Earth, but he was quickly refused. The Leopard, taking a different approach, instead told the Queen that they would find worthy foes in the war and have many good fights. This caught Queen Dorina's attention and caused her to accept their plea for help. The Leopard later told Major Freedom that not everyone was as noble as he was and that the Amazonians were a rowdy bunch that loves war and fighting.

The Amazonian Queendom joined the war in 1942 and overturned the situation at the front with their overwhelming advantage in technology. To avoid overreaching and startling their new allies, they provided medical aid and tactical teams to the different theaters of the war instead: Europe, China, the Pacific, and North Africa. Following that, the Allies landed with overwhelming strength in Normandy and retook France, Holland, and Belgium. Little by little, they forced the Germans to retreat to their home country. Ubermensch was taken out of the fight in 1943 by Queen Dorina herself; she beheaded him before all his soldiers after capturing him.

Everything changed when the Waffen-SS tried to burn a little village full of witches in the Black Forest on France’s border. The circle of Thirteen in the village sacrificed the invaders to the Dark Goddess, Hekate. The Matriarch, having received a revelation from the goddess, lit the beacon to signal the Corvinus Council to begin assembling. Other arcanists, spiritualists, and clans of magical creatures received oracles and revelations from their gods to stop the war and reveal themselves to the world. The supernatural silence was finally broken; on February 6th, 1944, they joined the war. The USA developed the first atomic bombs and attempted to use them on Japan, but were foiled while still in Chinese airspace by a female superhuman called Amaterasu. The bomber crashed, but before Amaterasu could disintegrate it the bombs went off and devastated several coastal cities. The war was put to a stop when Major Freedom, The Leopard, and Queen Dorina breached Hitler’s bunker and captured him on September 2nd, 1945. He was secretly put to death in France. Most Nazi officers fled to Argentina and Brazil, but some were captured and put on trial in 1946.

A lot of things have changed since the Second World War; the world was almost destroyed twice and there was an alien invasion by the Vaudwar, a race of sentient humanoid lizards. Humanity is still as prone to discord as ever. Even though many social and technological advances have been made, there are still many evils that remain in the world. This is a brave new world; danger is everywhere and the sky's the limit!

Fast forwarding to the end of 2002, a portal opened from the war-torn magical realm of Phantasia to Earth in Paris, France. Since the awareness of the gods of Earth would be on them, the group of refugees coming to our world will have to overcome many obstacles to fully integrate and protect their ward.
