Wherever there are people, there is crime. Where there are heroes, there are villains, and where there are super heroes, there are super villains.
And Megatropolis City is no exception.
A large city, built on an artificial island many years ago, Megatropolis has become a melting pot for ideas, technology, and cultures, and has become renowned around the United States, and most of the world. However, at the same time, the city has become a hive of criminal activity. And some of these criminals aren’t just regular thugs or burglers. Some of these criminals have abilities far beyond that of regular men, and are more than willing to endanger everyone around them in order to fulfil their own sinister objectives.
However, where there is evil, there is always good. There are those who choose to use their special abilities to combat these super powered villains to protect the peace. Whether they do this publicly, or hidden in the shadows, these beings are looked up to, admired, and adored by those who they protect. As long as there is evil, there will always be justice to face it.

Ok, time to get this started. Any LSUs post here
The bank alarm blared, as an unfortunately brave bank teller was sent flying back by an emerald blast to the face. The rest of the hostages whimpered as the teller's body slumped against the wall like a rag doll. The killer in question growled in irritation as he lowered his hand. He was a man in his late twenties, dressed in a white shirt with a brown flannel jacket and pants. A brown eight piece cap sat on his head. The rest of the men there were dressed in a similar question, though their leader had a large four-leaf clover on the breast of his jacket. His glowing green eyes scanned the rest of the hostages in the bank.
"Well now, gues we're going to have some bloody noise after all. If the rest of you know what's good for you, you'd do your best to keep quiet and stay out of our way!"
He then turned to the vault and stretched out a hand. Swirling green enery formed around it before a blast fired towards the steel door, hitting it with a thundering explosion. The vault door was easily knocking off its hinges. As the smoke cleared, th super villain gestured to his men, who then began to run in to collect their loot. As some of the other men kept their guns trained on the hostages, the Emerald Irishman stood near the front door, looking out at the street that would soon be crawling with cops. He cracked his knuckles, a cruel sneer on his face.
"Come on ya coppers, come on ya supers. Fletcher O'Riley's ready to give you all a taste of good old fashioned Irish pounding!"

A cry of pain echoed with insane laughter before a body fell from the walkway onto the stone floor below. Horrorfied workers below looked up at the crackling form laughing and standing above them.
The form was best described as a basic humanoid robot, with thin limbs. A thin glass strip atop his face marked his 'eye'. Electricity crackled around him, the same electricity that had just fried their coworker. The demented robot laughed before looking down at the frightened workers below. It said something they couldn't understand, but its body language saidsomething along the lines of "oooh, more playthings."
The workers cried out and ran as the android jumped down towards them. While its initial pounce missed, it was undetered as in a frightening display of speed shot over to the nearest worker, grabbing hold of him in a bear hug. The others looked back and watched as electricity surged painfully through the unfortunate man. The victim screamed before the android dropped him, letting him slump to the floor. The android then turned to the next worker, who proceeded to scream and run. The android quickly closed the distance and was about to leap upon him when it froze. The worker, having expected an electric hug, paused and looked back nervously at the psychotic droid.
The droid's head slowly turned, staring at one of the turbines. If it had proper eyes, it would be like a child eyeing a toy it liked. Slowly, ignoring its original target, it began to walk towards it. The worker's eyes widened in horror If that electrical lunatic messed with that thing, who knows what would happen to the plant, and the city as a whole.

Ok, just a basic thing for starters. At the Megatropolis Bank, Fletcher O'Riley is robbing the place, while the mechanical villain Lightning Bug is running amok at the Hydroelectric power plant. Just set up these two so not everyone's fighting the same villain...at least not yet. So, choose which crisis you want to help with and let's do this. Details about the villains are in the Drawing Board.
