Schools for superheroes are nothing new. For years, the X-Men have operated a school for gifted youngsters, training fledgling new mutants how to survive a world that hates and fears them. More recently, institutions like the Avengers Academy and Future Foundation have begun to develop youngsters blessed with fantastic abilities into the next generation of Earth's mightiest heroes. But while schools like this may exist to nurture the heroes of tomorrow, what about the teenage tearaways who would prefer to use their powers for their own personal gain? What about a school for super villains rather than heroes?
The infamous Hellfire Club have spotted this proverbial gap in the market. Taking a page out of the book of their X-Men adversaries, the club's newly re-established Inner Circle have used their vast resources to scour the globe for promising young recruits. These troubled but powerful youths have all been invited to enroll at the highly exclusive Hellfire Academy: a secret school to create a new generation of costumed criminals. By unleashing a new breed of super villains onto an unsuspecting world, the Hellfire Club hopes to both keep their usual heroic opposition occupied (and therefore distracted from dealing with the Inner Circle's other nefarious plans), as well as promoting a healthy level of fear in the populace they can leverage for financial gain through the sale of Sentinels and other 'deterrents' the club can sell to the highest bidder.
But the formation of the Hellfire Academy has not gone completely unnoticed, no matter how clandestine the Inner Circle have been in it's creation. Emma Frost, premier mutant telepath and former White Queen of the Hellfire Club in her own right, has kept a watchful eye on the plotting and scheming of her old cohorts. After getting word of their latest venture, Ms Frost took immediate action to make sure the club would not be allowed to mold a generation of vulnerable children in their image. Emma reached out to a small, select handful of the prospective recruits the Hellfire Club had tapped for enrollment in their new academy; those she sensed had the potential for heroism rather than villainy, despite what the club may believe about them. Emma's new Hellions will brave the worst the Hellfire Academy has to offer, in an effort to uncover the secrets of the Inner Circle and save their fellow recruits from being corrupted by the club's influence.
Will these brave youngsters manage to bring about the downfall of the Hellfire Academy from the inside? Or will their exposure to the darker side of the costumed crowd prove to be too tempting to resist when they discover it really is fun being bad?

Hi everybody, this is a game I had just started before I had to take an unscheduled absence late last year and I'm now looking to revive it. The original version of the game has been archived here if anybody wants to take a look.
If anybody would like to play, this would be a Marvel academy game at a school for bad guys rather than heroes. Your characters would have been selected to join the Hellfire Club's new Academy, although in secret you would also have been contacted by Emma Frost to help her stop the Inner Circle's plans. Your characters should be all new recruits but you can have any kind of origin (you don't need to be mutants, for example) - you can make your character using 25 stones plus up to a maximum of 10 more from challenges.
Let me know if you're interested in playing, thanks!
