Heimdall was the first in what was dubbed the age of Gods, capes began to appear around the world. Some benign, some malicious. A super powered arms race had begun, with Heimdall only appearing on the rare occasion to observe. His influence would not be truly felt until April of 1986. The first appearance of what would come to be known as Endbringers. The Chernobyl incident. A strange, almost alien like creature had appeared, and Russia's capes rallied together but it wasn't enough. The only survivor of the incident was Heimdall who managed to drive the creature away. The Chernobyl plant was destroyed and the area became a wasteland. The beast returned every year thereafter growing larger in size and power and people had given it a name. Jörmungandr. 1989 saw the death of the beast, heroes and villains had rallied together, Heimdall himself even stepped in to battle the creature near the end and it was slain. The world was safe from the Endbringer. "The world was finally safe" they believed.


In 1992 they would be proven wrong.

January 27th 1985

The Space Shuttle Discovery was returning to Earth. The details of the mission remain classified, but the world knows one thing. Five men went up. Six came down. As the shuttle descended towards Earth, a figure in black-green crystalline armor and antlers appeared onboard. It is believed this figure spoke briefly with members of the crew (very little official words have been said) and once the shuttle landed safely at Cape Kennedy, they disappeared into thick fog that had abruptly enveloped the previously-sunny site.

Soon after this, capes began to appear around the world. Some benign, most malicious. A super powered arms race had begun, with Wild Hunt remaining elusive. But it was clear, wherever they had come from, they had brought powers with them.
