A disturbing finding was made less then two days ago by Metropolis scientists and doctors after looking over many new super human patients. A new virus has been discovered spreading throughout the exo-human community!
The virus appears to only infect human beings who've received super powers from Brainiac's Exobytes, exo-heroes being a title to separate the new generation from the original superheroes. The virus appears to target meta and magic based exo-humans and leave them powerless. Although most effected are heroes, the villain community has not been so lucky to avoided contamination.
The first recorded victim was a hero going by the name of Sky Stroller. He was flying over the park when his flight based powers slowly left him. He broke his right leg and hand, but some of his doctors argue he should be happy to be alive.
Sky Stroller however has fallen into a depression and must hang up his cape and title. If a cure is not found he will never fly again. Billy Grecko, his real name, is just one among many falling ill to the virus. Embarrassingly enough the virus is spread primarily through the transfer of saliva, or in some cases as an STD. This is disturbing news considering the rate of which the virus has afflicted the superhuman community.
Due to the nature of the virus, a Green Lantern has stepped forward to held investigate the origin of the virus. The Oracle also suggested using a joint team of heroes and villains to solve this problem effecting both groups.
Some villainous groups of exo-humans have grudgingly accepted the offer, knowing their own powers may very well be at stake. Small groups of three or four will be organized, according to the Oracle, and sent to suspected areas that the virus may have originated from. This is going by the first victims and places they have been. The first villainess to be placed in one of these teams is Entropy Cell. Shes been somewhat trusted by the hero community for her calm and passive attitude when facing off with the forces of justice.
When asked to put a hero forward, Superman didn't hesitate to suggest Wodan Berserk. The choice may confuse those who aren't familiar with the first interaction between the highly criticized warrior and the man of steel. The first encounter was a rather unfriendly one in which Superman had to quickly arrest the xenophobic hero, who insulted Superman for his alien origin. So it must have seemed like an easy choice for a mission that might take away the powers of the investigators.
Berserk, rather he had the choice or not, excepted the offer with a cynical laugh. Following the enlistment of the first hero and villain, many others were place either in a group or are still awaiting the job. The list of active recruits includes heroes Rocketkid, Patriot, Robohobo, and Mega King. While the villains only have the additions of Plight and Wolfgang.
Will they be enough to solve this mystery and cure the exo-human virus, or is this the beginning of the end for the new generation of super humans?
