The Story So Far

Kingsreign is the latest epic cross-title event shaking up the Freedomverse!

The U.S. presidential elections seemed to be a shoe-in for Democratic candidate Victoria Farmer, Secretary of State for President Omondi and wife of former President Ben Farmer. Though she was not without scandal and criticism, the outrageous populist campaign of Republican candidate Hieronymous King, CEO of Majestic Industries, seemed too controversial to succeed. Yet the American public - and the Electoral College - stunned the world by giving the presidency to the outspoken outsider King.

It is now two years into President King’s first term. The nation seems to be in perpetual turmoil, as a new scandal breaks daily, the news cycle is overwhelmed with breathless reporting on President King’s latest Chirp, Cabinet members are dogged by criminal allegations, and yet the majority Republicans continue to express support for the seemingly untouchable industrialist.

One of President King’s stated top priorities has been the safeguarding of America from Grue invasion. One of the many controversial stances he has taken has been to demand several concessions of the Freedom League, the sum of which would effectively place the League under Presidential control. When the League refused, King signed an Executive Order forbidding the Freedom League from operating within the borders of the United States. Many left the League rather than be effectively exiled from the U.S., but others predicted that it was only the first step in a plan of consolidation of Presidential power.

Their fears were realized when President King announced the formation of a new superhero team which would operate in America’s best interests. This team, America’s First, was composed of metahumans hand-picked by King himself. Like his Cabinet, every member of the new super-team was marked by scandal. Yet King’s supporters rallied to them as icons of conservative American ideals.

Several heroes received a secret communication from someone identifying themselves as the Black King. They offered membership in a conspiracy to counter and expose the crimes of the deeply corrupt presidential administration and see its “White King” toppled. Their goal: checkmate.

These heroes were chosen by the Black King for their unique power profile, skill sets, and dedication to justice. They were warned that the cost of their participation in this grand chess match against the King Administration might be their reputations, their freedom, and perhaps even their lives.

What went unsaid was that the cost of their failure would be unparalleled catastrophe.
