Take a look at TBE ^_^
Humanity is in a constant metamorphosis, however the basis of human nature stays constant. The truth is grim, for humans fear what they cannot understand, what they cannot control. What was once lost, can never be recoverd, for the innocence of many has diminished. Darkness swallows many, and rare are the times of salvation, of light. After the events at Liberty Island many witnesses the horror of the world, that something beyond their control and understanding.
The past conflict upon Ellis Island has brought various consequences. The Government marches onto the scene, issuing more control concerning Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters. Emma Frost, a successful business woman and entrepreneur, is offered the position as Headmistress. Miss Frost has many surprises for the group of students, who no longer would be able to be an independent force and openly fight the remaining members of the brotherhood
The great wheels are ever turning, each event pushing forward and effecting each one in turn. A series of small events would be essential to make the Brotherhood to come back more powerful and terrible than ever. They will leave humanity in tears. Humanity will never be the same again, and the question is if Humanity is in need of a change at all? Chaos upon chaos, but the changes are inevitable, or is it just evolution? Will the X-MEN be able to stop the events that will cause‘the butterfly effect’?...

I run a Batman Begins based RPG. We've been running for a year or so now. As we are based on BB, rather than general comics, we do keep things a little more down to earth, no powers and such, but we are open to characters from the wider DCU.

If you're into canon X-Men, Damascus Road might be to your liking :)
We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal.
That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.
That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Four years have elapsed since both X-Men and Brotherhood faced the blazing fury of the Phoenix on Alcatraz Island. Time enough for Jean Grey’s death to be mourned by those who cared for her, and for those tears to be wiped away in turn by the wondrous reappearance of Charles Xavier. Reinstated as headmaster and leader of the X-Men, the future once again looks hopeful – periods of darkness will always be interspersed with light, however faint. Proving that medical means could never offer a real solution to what some humans saw as a threat, reports that effects of the ‘cure’ were wearing off were confirmed to be true; mutants everywhere regaining total use of their powers with the fullness of time, whether they had volunteered to be stripped of their x-gene or otherwise. Maintaining a civil relationship with the government and tolerated by the public, it would appear that mutantkind and Xavier’s own dreams of acceptance might finally stand a fighting chance.
Diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue.
It makes it a requirement for survival.
Scattered and disconcerted after their metal-manipulating leader was deprived of his gifts and with no one else resolute or willing enough to guide them, the Brotherhood lay in tatters. Still licking the wounds of Magneto’s stinging betrayal even after regaining her mutation, Mystique’s staunch and unwavering belief in the liberty of her kind remained evident even while forced to live the life of those she detested; perpetually driven by the thought of slavery at the hands of humanity and ideals that had been imprinted into her mind by the very man who would abandon her. Believing it to be a cause worth fighting tooth and nail to uphold, the metamorph set out to regroup the Brotherhood under her own reign, rebuild the underground organisation from its roots and fill her ranks with the like-minded – those who are willing to do anything to ensure that homo superior inherit the earth.
Courage is poorly housed that dwells in numbers;
The lion never counts the herd that are about him
Nor weighs how many flocks he has to scatter.
Yet even the most tenuous balance can never truly be held firm for long, and not all humans are quite so accepting. Those with the utmost faith will prove to be mutantkind's greatest detractors.

Age of Destiny is a brand new, AU-type original super-hero RP. We're brand new, so you have a chance to get in on the ground floor!
Board Name: Age of Destiny
Url: http://z4.invisionfree.com/Age_of_Destiny/
Theme: Cold War AU featuring superheroes and supervillains.
Description:
Welcome to a world where men in capes can fly.
Welcome to a world where the Cold War wasn’t cold.
Welcome to a world where the theories of a German Expatriate hold to power to destroy the fabric of reality itself.
The year is 2008.
Welcome to New Atlantis City.
---
In the wake of the 1989 “M-Day” bombing, the world has been transformed. When a Russian missile destroyed New York City, it also tore holes in the fabric of reality and gave birth to a generation of meta-humans… a generation of potential super-heroes, composed of irradiated mutants, castaways from other worlds, and victims of both mad and terrifyingly sane science.
New technology is on the rise, as well as a whole new scope of possibilities. But also on the rise are crime, poverty, and corruption. The city of New Atlantis, once a haven for the lost, has turned into a grandiose slum, slowly tearing itself apart from the inside. Enter the masked revolution – a movement of vigilantism that has been sweeping the nation. Villains and Heroes have clamored from the dust of M-Day and the Dark Wednesday earthquake.
It is here for you to decide:
Will this be an age of chaos?
Or an Age of Destiny?

The world is changing.
Upon the discovery of the mutant “cure” all hell broke loose. Some mutants rushed to get the drug, others protested that there was nothing to cure, while the “normal’s” sat at home watching it all on the news, or others still sat in office considering bills for mutant registration. “For the good of the people” they said,” too keep the mutant population under control” they said, “to stop them robbing banks or abusing their powers “They said.
They had allowed a mutant into their midst, Professor Henry “Hank” McCoy, better known amongst the mutant community as “The Beast.” Hank’s job was to oversee mutant affairs, and make sure that the mutant population was treated fairly and with respect. After the incident at Alcatraz, the government, and indeed many of the human people became suspicious of mutants, the Government cracked down on Mutant affairs, and tension is growing in the office as Hank McCoy battles for his people. -–

The cure.
Some thought it was a blessing, others a curse.
Little did they know its effects were not permanent, and after the events at Alcatraz, there is little hope of a new supply.--

Rumours spring forth from the darkness of a mutant underground living and hiding in the darkness beneath the city streets of New York. Rumours that they’re trouble makers, rebels, plotting slowly in the deep reaches of the New York sewer system. Plotting the day when they will rise up from there exile and live in the light once more. While on the surface, every day new factions arise, mutant and human alike, each fighting for their own cause, their own ends.--

Rumours spread like wildfire.
Rumours that Magneto may once again be returning to power after being dosed with the “cure” at Alcatraz.
Rumours that his nemesis, and one time friend Charles Xavier has again arisen, back from the dead as it were.
Rumours the government discussed the future of mutants behind closed doors. The Registration act is and was only the beginning, only god knows what lies ahead.--

The Starbuck Institution for the Gifted
And yes, we actually DO serve coffee here...
And yes, we actually DO serve coffee here...
Home - OOC Commandments - In-Character Rules - Character Adoption Agency
The Story So Far...
Lies being spread...
The year is 2031. There’s is a monumental challenge at hand; the creation of another institution for the gifted. During the last age of mutant surfacing, most of the X-Men were scattered with the destruction of the Xavier Institute for the Gifted; at least for the 10th time in a row. The school, 20 years before then, had become a mutant headquarters instead of a school; new students weren’t even accepted anymore. However, the school had become a fighting ground. For whatever reason, the thought of making mutant kind look innocent had faded away and the thought of fighting back against humanity was the main focus at the time; that was the institute’s downfall.
The U.S. Military could no longer stand for the mutant interference that seemed to sweep the nation. With that, a new type of technology, developed by Arnold Cornwallis, a Neo S.H.I.E.L.D. operative, was used in the annihilation of the institution and all that dwelled within it. Upon the destruction of the institution, the U.S. Military reinstated the “Mutant Registration Act of 2003” to try to limit mutant activity in the United States and possibly aboard. This act was headed by the new president of the United States of America, Jonis Richards. By this time, America is still the most hated country in the world and hasn’t seemed to have gained any popularity; however, America has gained more riches during this time.
Mutants and mutant defenders alike were outraged with the registration act being reinstated and this act not only applied to mutant walking around amongst humans but mutants not even born yet; in that light, expectant mutant mothers had to register their babies while those infants weren’t even born yet. It's a bad time to be a mutant. That is why the Starbuck Institution for the Gifted was established as a last safe haven for mutants. Humans, mutants, mythical creatures are all fighting each other for dominance. How will all of them co-exist together?

-Start of Tape-
"Hi, my name is Matthew Starbuck and this is my school. Here at Starbuck Institution for the Gifted we encourage our students to use their powers for their own gain---er, I mean, we strongly advise against using any special ability for money, sex and power. Possibly even a combination of all three if they manage to bag some really hot millionaire person or even a billionaire. It always ends in tears. Trust me, I've enough money to know this," said a man with a soft sounding voice. The guy appeared to be attempting to hide the sound of a throat wrecked from yelling too much.
"This instructional DVD on how to enter my school will be your greatest asset to gaining membership to my prestigious institution. Not everyone gets in and--"
"Whatever you say jerkface. You let a cihck who only has the power to manually infect herself with herpes into this school. No, seriously, kids, come here. The more people come here the more I get to teach, make money and buy cheap pornography. There's nothing better in the world than torn stockings," said the person who cut off Mr. Starbuck.
"Gato, seriously, go serve your nearest DMV by becoming a stop sign for eighteen wheelers! You're screwing up the audio here! Gosh, now I'm going to have to voice over it with pretty pictures. You know we don't have the budget to be screwing up. Hush your antics! Uh, where was I? Oh, yes, here at Starbucks the idea of allowing mutants into the school isn't the only goal here. We welcome cyborgs, aliens, zombies just as long as they don't eat brains or sexual organs, hey, we even welcome anyone who considers Vanilla Ice to be a relevant human being. In fact, anyone who doesn't fit into what others consider to be a decent and civilized society is welcome here. Of course that would include humans," explained this rather tired sounding person.
"Matthew, honey, come to bed and get off that stupid tape recorder. Sheesh babe. We live past the stone age for crying out loud," some female sounding voice spat out.
"Marlie! Damnit! Blah, this is what I get for five dollars an hour? Hush and go make me a sandwich. Anyways, the only criteria for joining the school is to have some combat skills, be weird as all heck and don't pick on our name and try to say that we serve coffee even though we do. That's about it. Beyond that, come here and enjoy yourself. We don't follow any law as long as you're within the institution. Just, please, if you're going to be a hoodlum then at least give yourself that codename. That way we don't have to wonder what you, who you are and what you do with your life," the man went on to say.
"Oh, and please, PLEASE, if you're going to be into emo music turn it up as loud as you possibly can. My celebrity avatar IS Marilyn Manson. Not saying the guy's emo. Just saying that emo music would be something that he would be into," that same annoying guy added to his boss' statement. Sadly enough, this "Gato" character was a teacher at the school. He acted more like one of the students.
"Uh, yeah, whatever. If you want to join up at the school just cilck on the link below. No, don't click over on another tab. If you do I hope you get Rick Roll'd or something. Yes, just click it and see the site itself even though the guy who created is a total douche. Oh, and if I don't say it because I'm too drunk when you arrive at the school WELCOME TO STARBUCK!"

Why not try Imaginary Heroes??
We've been going since May and are now getting into our first storyline. Basically, we're taking off right before where the end of S2 left off; before the release of the Virus and working towards putting our own spin on how things work from there. I won't say too much here except it all eventually leads to a Dark Future that the show loves so much. The date? December 21st 2012. We'd love for you to be a part of it.
And if you've never even seen Heroes (which sounds unlikely, since you're asking for a superhero genre rpg), then even better. We like individuals to be completely surprised by the unexpected.

- Erik Lensherr, known as the mutant Magneto was arrested on Liberty Island three months ago. The reasons for his being there came to light with the discovery of a broken machine with high levels of radiation, thus explaining the bright lights from earlier that same night. How it came to be broken and just what magneto was doing atop the statue of liberty remains a mystery to this day, possibly to stay unsolved for years to come. For the time being he has been moved to a confined high security plastic prison to await trial for previous misdeeds which include mutant terrorism.
The whereabouts of his followers is uncertain as they have temporarily vanished into the woodwork. There are rumors, however, that the Brotherhood of Mutants is not as dead as the public would like you to believe. Word on the street is that the group has been placed in the hands of the mutants known as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. The exact status of the pair within this terrorist group has yet to be determined by government officials, though all agree their ranks are ever growing even with their leader behind bars. When or if they will strike next has many citizens concerned for there is no assurances that the government will be able to take evasive measures in order to protect the human population.

"No one ever talks about it. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then one day, when the air is still and the night is fallen, they come for you."

- There is a place located in Westchester, New York that has become something of a safe haven for young mutants barely begun in their powers. To the world it is known as Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, and within its doors are students of all ages working towards a higher education. According to one man, a Colonel William Stryker, there is more to this school than meets the eye. It is his belief that it is a playground for mutants, a training center for future terrorists to follow in the wake of Magneto and the Brotherhood. Sweeping through Congress is a request to infiltrate the halls of this school in order to ascertain what exactly is going on. Thus far the request has been fought against by the former anti-mutant coalition leader, Senator Robert Kelly, who has turned his efforts into fighting for mutant rights; it seems he has finally seen the light of day.
Any further inquiry by the public has been offset by the recent arrival of Emma Frost of Frost Enterprises as a member of staff at Xavier's. Already a well established figure of society it is believed that Ms. Frost will make a welcome addition to the all inclusive staff that has been furnished by the likes of Dr. Jean Grey, and Dr. Henry McCoy in the past. Naturally there is some scandal in the appointment of Ms. Frost as she has just been forced out of her well to do position in the high societal group, the Hellfire Club. The exact nature of her dismissal has been kept hush, though it is believed Ms. Frost was pushed out in favor of her own sister due to a not so discreet love affair.

"to the present day crime has always been a problem for metropolis.
unfortunately, for some bizarre reason the crime rates have increased
majorly in the wonderous city. people have even fled metropolis fearing
for their own safety. police are advising the city's people that they've
got everything under control. but if this is things under control, what
are they going to be like once the police lose control of the situation?"
HUB CITY 2008
"people are in a heightened state of panic! the past few weeks there
has been a dramatic increase in the city's crime rates and civilian deaths.
even the city's government is befuddled by the recent rise in criminal
activity. if the situation gets any worse, will there be a hub city anymore?"
GOTHAM CITY 2008
"so where is our batman? isn't he supposed to be our saviour against
crime? well it seems the night hero has taken a vacation because even as

the lowlife scum that escapes from jail. so much for world peace!"
STAR CITY 2008
"apparently star city is fast become a place of refuge. according to close
sources, the cities of metropolis, gotham city and hub city have become
the base for villainous acts. unfortunately, the same goes for star city.
while the crime rate is nowhere near as bad as the three other major cities
star city is also facing a rather large dilema on the law breaking side of life.
where are our superheroes when we need them?"

four amazing cities, suddenly reduced to criminal infested dumps.
and the reasoning for this?
THE INJUSTICE LEAGUE
don't be fooled by the name, which is so similar to that of the justice league.
the injustice league has been around for a while, but unfortunately there has
been a recent boost in recruitment of villains to join this badass team. great
villains are even putting their hand in to contribute to the current state of
wreckage. and it seems they're going to stop at nothing. it's driving people
insane because the villains are doing it FOR REASONS UNKNOWN!

ok take a peek at this
Meet Hellboy, he isn't your average hero. Hell. He isn't even your average superhero. But things are different now, along with his pregnant girlfriend Liz Sherman, the icthyo sapien Abe Sapien and their new ectoplasmic pal Johann Kraus, they quit the bureau and begin working independently. Operating from a secretive office in New Jersey, Hell on Earth investigations is their new home. However, as of late things have been relatively quiet. Too quiet. That is of course, until they receive a mysterious message that arrives from Bereznik, Russia. The message spoke of a witch, an elderly woman who flies around their quiet town kidnapping and eating their children. Their people call her the 'Baba Yaga', the two words that bring fear and terror to a once peaceful community. Enter a world of fairytale horror. Saving the world is a hell of a job.

Originally superheroes existed only in the comic books. One could read about them in picture form, but not ever in the newspapers because they didn't exist. Then one day four emerged in the forms of Solar, Solara, Justice, and Equinox. These four superheroes had found each other during their school years and worked together for a great many years. They preserved peace on Earth, dealt justice with mercy. But it was not to last.
Solar, the male twin of Solara, decided that justice was not being served without the deaths of those that caused the problems. He left the group of four and changed his name from Solar to Prime. Prime formed the organization NINE and proceeded to recruit new superheroes to join him. At the time NINE was still mostly good. They were vigilante's that the other three originals fought against. But these originals couldn't last forever and couldn't fight on their own.
Thus the counter to NINE was formed: the Valor Guard. They recruited superheroes and civilians alike in order to fight against NINE. As time went on, the four original superheroes died, still struggling against one another. NINE came under the leadership of Antia and her hand picked eight. These ones were evil and NINE turned into an organization of criminals and murderers. The Valor Guard fell into the hands of the Guardians: Divenera, Gleam Master, Rush, and Shutter.
But NINE had ambition and size against the Valor Guard. They began their conquest of the world and most succeeded, even attacking the Valor Guard's home base and destroying it. The Valor Guard and the Guardians were scattered to the wind, most of the world under the power of The NINE and their minions. But the Guardians, the Valor Guard, and some civilians fight back in a world where your life is ruled not by you.
Curfews have been set, most high paying jobs are held by NINE associates. Taxes are heavy and all go to The NINE. Transportation is restricted. Only NINE associates may own vehicles, everyone else must travel by mass transportation. Food is supplied to you and kept minimal. Many structures have fallen into disrepair as only buildings owned by NINE are kept functional.
But there is hope. The Valor Guard and some civilians have started to band together and fight back. NINE brings down its heavy fist wherever it can, but the struggle continues. Will the NINE succeed in crushing the Valor Guard for good? Or will the Valor Guard restore order and peace to the world? Find out on SHUTTER!
