Well I would like to create a Super Hero team for Brave New World, Hopefully
this team would get there own official source book. But I'm not holding out,
I know that the world BNW has more shades of Grey then Black and White. But
image a Super hero team trying to do good in the Fascist US, Basically both
the Government and Delta Prime don't want them around. But officially this
team does some good work and getting the common people trust,
