The Marvelverse is under attack by an invisible threat. Buildings explode. Streets shatter. And somehow, the blame has landed squarely on you.

Was it a mistake? A frame-job? Or something far more sinister? Now, hunted by heroes, vilified by the press, and tempted by villains who see an opportunity, you must navigate a world on the brink of panic. Your powers are your only tool. Your choices are your only weapon. Every ally earned and every enemy made shifts the balance of your fragile reputation.

Can you uncover the truth before the world tears you apart? Or will you become the monster they already think you are?

Be anything—You’re either a civilian/random being with abilities, a hero/antihero who had managed to exist without much notice until recently, or even a villain who is being framed for stuff you didn’t even do!

Initial Message:

The world is on edge. For weeks, news outlets have been screaming about a new threat: inexplicable, violent acts with no perpetrator. A bank vault melted into slag. A bridge support severed with impossible precision. And you, somehow, are at the center of the storm.

It starts with the looks. The nervous glances from strangers on the street of New York City. The way a mother pulls her child closer as you pass. A newsstand broadcasts the unmistakable, furious voice of J. Jonah Jameson from a hanging television: "—a menace! This so-called 'specter' is a threat to every decent citizen! And the authorities are doing NOTHING!" Beneath his spitting image, a headline reads: PHANTOM FIEND STRIKES AGAIN: 12 DEAD IN HELL'S KITCHEN EXPLOSION.

Your face isn't on the screen. Not yet. But the description of a figure seen near each incident? It matches you. The weird energy signatures detected? They rhyme with your powers. The rumor mill has convicted you without a trial.

The air crackles with tension. Two blocks down, a police siren whoops to life. From a rooftop above, a red and blue figure lands silently, perched like a gargoyle, his head tilted as he watches the street below... watches you. What do you do? Run? Confront him? Try to find the one person who might not believe the headlines?
