New Yorkers are a resilient group, there is no denying it. They have become accustomed to seeing their neighborhoods destroyed quarterly only to rise from the ashes the following week. Mutants. Iron Man. The Aliens that fell from the sky in 2012 and the attacks.

Two years of hell and curfews, where mutants, heroes, and humans who dared hide were hunted down with the same iron fist by the Sentinels, gigantic robots designed to track down the exceptional and the resistance. Humanity had won, however, all hands in hand to overthrow the government and vote for a new president, vote for peace. John Liesmith had wiped the slate clean of the old government. Mutants and humans equal before the law and a band of heroes, the Avengers II as the government's super-human militia to fight unrest humans could not foresee.
