Alright, so...I'm running a kind of strange campaign and I could use all the help I can get.
The world is a sort of amalgamation between Marvel and DC, with elements of both existing. Metropolis exists in Delaware, NYC as it should, Gotham in Maryland, etc.
The world didn't know pretty much anything about Mutants until the 'White Pilgrim' attacked Time Square at midnight in 2012 with his 'Brotherhood'. Hundreds of thousands died as he proclaimed the ascension of the mutant race. He's Magneto, of course. He revealed that the US Government and others have known about Mutants for decades, and have been experimenting on them in secret. He's called to the mutants in hiding to join them for their rightful place. Terrorist attacks form the Brotherhood have occurred all over, though they've been stopped notably in Metropolis by the mysterious Superman, and in Gotham by the Batman.
At this point Iron Man has existed for about three years, but nobody knows he is Stark. the X-men have been seen briefly on cam footage battling the Brotherhood, but nobody knows who they are. Batman is nothing but an urban legend, etc.
Many of the canon characters exist, but entirely rewritten. For instance...
We've had one session so far. The PCs are all teens, who've ended up at Gotham Preparatory Academy. One is a Mutant who is a Magnetokinetic, unaware her father is really Magneto. She's basically Polaris. She's a high society teen from NYC whos dad has recently purchased most of the stock in Wayne Enterprises, and they've moved to Gotham. Another is a metahuman who was altered in the womb along with his twin. Both ended up with abilities. The PC ended up with insane intelligence (9), along with psychic abilities. His twin ended up with the same intelligence, but he's a regenerator instead of a pyshic. Slade and Shen Wilson. Slade being the NPC twin who is his personal antag after murdering their parents. The PC was recently adopted by the Gordons, and is attending the Academy with his new 15 year old sister, Barbara. The last PC is a Native American with teleportation abilities granted from a lightning bolt.
They've encountered the young, rebellious Bruce Wayne. He's a year round student who has a serious chip on his shoulder. They've also met Dr. Crane, the chemistry/psychology professor, and Edward Nigma, the class brain. Class president is young Harvey Dent. Another girl they've met, Genesis, is a mutant with energy theft and psi blades...who is also really Batman.
This should give you an idea of how different my world is, and how much I can change for my plot. The school is a boarding school, and the actual school year is just about to start.
I'm looking for storyline ideas, or antagonist ideas, or any and all suggestions. You guys all seem to know what you're talking about, so I'd really, really appreciate it.
