The Super Society

***"With spandex-clad bravery and a moral compass sharper than a hero's punch, they stitched hope into the fabric of a world threatened by villainy. In the symphony of city sounds, their names echoed like a rallying call – the guardians of an age where heroism was bright, justice bore a golden emblem, and the world yearned for the dawn of a new, super-powered era."*** *- Franklin D. Roosevelt announcing the superheroes role in the war to help The Allies win the war (1942)*

## History

The Year is 1939: The Sentinel Project begins in the United States, aiming to create super soldiers to fight in World War II.

In 1941, these spandex-clad champions redirected their focus from safeguarding city streets to defending freedom on the global stage.

During this time, Empire Boy who was Patriot's sidekick was having an affair with Lady Law, Patriot's girlfriend with whom he was seeing. Though Lady Law was closer to Empire in age then Patriot. There were allegations that tarnished the team name which the two were then kicked off. Patriot did not care for this as he too had an affair with Donna Dynamite.

Green Justice would go insane after the war ended, Donna Dynamite is shot by Green Justice while drunk, & Samuel Uthman swoops it under the rug, especially after the PR Hell he was already going through. They say she was murdered by a made-up supervillain. Patriot Eagle then kills Green Justice and leaves no evidence & leaves his body in a carpet and throws it in the East River. Lavender Rose quitted and moves back to France after the war ended, and Second Man & Ample were killed in WW2 leaving just Dark Dire, Battle Diamond, & The Patriot. The 3 ultimately decided to disband the team, Battle Diamond wanted to retire from the limelight and Dark Dire focused on being a symbol for the Civil Rights Movement.
